‘Wrecking Ball’ beauty Miley Cyrus is doing some serious damage control after a recent Instagram live stream saw her lend some unsolicited and ill-received advice.  Sharing some screen time with new boo Cody Simpson, the songstress revealed:

As if that’s not enough, she continued by stating:

“I always thought I had to be gay because I just thought, like, all guys were evil, but it’s not true,” she said. “There are good people out there that just happen to have d*cks. I’ve only ever met one.”

Yikes! After the comments caused an uproar, particularly from the singer’s LGBTQ+ fans (and their supporters), Cyrus took to Twitter to clarify her statement.  See it inside:

Lil Kim‘s quest for comeback was bolstered by a well-executed promotional campaign launched by the fresh team of managers the icon enlisted to lead the next phase of her career.

Unfortunately, those who had hoped her new album ‘9′ would benefit from the managerial changes have learned that the worst has happened….at least commercially.

For, the set is reported to have sold under 1,000 copies in the US and become one of the lowest-selling albums in chart history after it failed to impact the Billboard 200 in its opening week.

Accused of dashing salt on Kim’s three figure chart wound? Nicki Minaj.

Iggy Azalea‘s attempts to have Lizzo (born Melissa Jefferson) unseated from history books has proven futile as the burgeoning diva’s breakout hit, ‘Truth Hurts,’ has reclaimed the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100.

As we reported here, Azalea – courtesy of the 7 weeks her 2014 hit ‘Fancy’ held the top spot – currently holds the record for longest reign by a female rapper.  In an attempt to remain the sole occupant of the title, the ‘Started’ rapstress started encouraging fans to stream Jefferson’s competitors to remove her from #1.

Albeit briefly successful as Travis Scott dethroned Lizzo last week with his new hit ‘Highest in the Room’ (as we reported here), refreshed charts show it’s actually Lizzo who is now the highest – giving her hit ‘Hurts’ its 7th week at the top.  The move ties her with Azalea for the history making feat.
