Madonna may have a reputation as one of music’s most prolific touring acts, but her latest trek continues to be plagued by problems.

The ‘Madame X Tour’ set sail in September and has already hit a number of icebergs – namely tardiness, cancellations, and postponements.

Seemingly unprovoked, the rapper took to Instagram to vent her views about the singer and  the alt-R&B direction of her newest music.

Branding Tinashe a “Pop tart,” Banks went on to unpack the reasons why she sees the 26-year-old as more of an “NBA cheerleader” and why she doesn’t feel Nashe is a “star”…yet.

A series of back-handed compliments await after the jump…

After starring in Lifetime’s critically acclaimed productions ‘Army Wives,’ ‘Christmas in the City,’ and more over the years, singer/songwriter/actress Ashanti is seeing her relationship with the network continue to prove itself lucrative.  Their latest joint effort comes in the form of ‘A Winter song’ (also known as ‘A Christmas Winter Song’) – one of the channel’s whopping 30 holiday films this season.

Playing double duty as producer and lead actress, the Grammy winner portrays “Clio” – a singer grappling with having to perform her first Christmas show without her father who recently passed away.  Also starring Stan Shaw, Sashani Nichole, and many other familiar faces, ‘Song’ will premiere on Lifetime on December 14.

As we reported here, singer Kelly Rowland is reminding fans her talents are certainly not limited to making chart-topping music – a truth reiterated by her leading role in the Lifetime holiday film, ‘Merry Liddle Christmas.’

Loosely based on a true story from one of the Grammy-winner’s past Christmas hosting experiences, the flick tells the story of “a successful single tech entrepreneur [portrayed by Rowland] who hosts her dysfunctional family in her new home over the holiday.”  According to the network:

“…the plot involves not only a glossy video shoot of the perfect Christmas, but a very good shot at romance with a neighbor, even though this breaks one of her dating rules. Rowland and her husband Tim Weatherspoon are among the movie’s executive producers.”

Set for a November 30 premiere, fans are invited to take an extended peek at the movie ahead of its arrival.  See it inside:
