Selah Marley, daughter of singer-songwriter Lauryn Hill, set the Web ablaze when she opened up about her challenging childhood that she claims was marred mostly by abuse suffered at the hands of her GRAMMY-winning mother (as we reported here).

Katy Perry is strutting on to the release of new album ‘Smile’ and this time around she isn’t letting the naysayers steal her happy.

It’s no secret that the Pop star’s last effort, 2017’s ‘Witness,’ underperformed. And it’s been a rocky road back to chart redemption ever since.

While pounding the promotional pavement for her latest LP (due August 28), the pregnant star has made it clear that her priorities have shifted away from the hamster wheel of staying commercially “hot.”
