Lizzo may be slaying on a global scale, but she isn’t resting on her laurels.

The chart-topper is currently in the UK and stopped by ‘The X Factor’ with a bevy of dancers to  deliver a dynamic showing of ‘Good As Hell.’

Originally released in 2017, the track is uniquely enjoying renewed success thanks to Lizzo’s heightened profile and growing chart portfolio. It also benefited from a remix featuring Ariana Grande.

That said, the Houston native was more than capable of leading the charge herself during the spirited performance.

Never one to mince words, Vivica A. Fox didn’t shy away from the opportunity to speak out against the reported remake of the 1996 F. Gary Gray film, ‘Set It Off’ (in which she starred).

Recently quizzed by our friends at ‘Entertainment Tonight’ about the in-the-works reboot, to be helmed by Issa Rae (as we reported here), Fox went on record to discuss the ‘tremendous chore’ of remaking such a cult classic:

“It’s a classic, leave it alone.

There’s absolutely no reason to try to redo it. It’s been done, and we did it so well, that people are absolutely going to compare it to that and I think that’s her taking on a tremendous chore because that film has become a cult classic and some things are just better left.”

That’s not all she said.  She the rest inside:

EGOT winner John Legend has demonstrated time and time again his talents know few limits, a feat evidenced once more when he served double duty on ‘Ellen’ Friday (November 15).

With resident host absent, the 40-year-old acted as host and musical guest.  Thrilling the audience with a rousing rendition of ‘Bring Me Love,’ a selection from the deluxe edition of his holiday album, ‘A Legendary Christmas,’ look inside to see this year’s recently anounced ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ (as we reported here) do his thing like only he can:

Iggy Azalea‘s forthcoming EP, ‘Wicked Lips,’ hasn’t exactly had people talking – a truth that some point to as the cause of its recently announced delay (click here to read more).

And, while its Alice Chater-assisted lead single, ‘Lola,’ has garnered critically acclaimed aplenty, peruse of Spotify and iTunes sales charts suggest said fanfare isn’t being mirrored commercially.  To ramp up buzz for the ailing project, Iggy Iggz is inviting her faithful fans – affectionately called #Azaleans – to take a behind the scenes peek at the creation of the tune’s accompanying visual.

Curious to see how all the magic came to be?  Look inside:

Princess Nokia is back…and this time she’s armed with ‘Balenciaga.’

The New Yorker has been determined to deliver high-end visuals for her growing fanbase in 2019 and pushes her own envelope with the video she shot to support the new single.

Why?

To support the record she will release in 2020.

I’ve got a hip-hop and soul record coming out, and it’s incredible. It’s probably my best work I’ve ever made so far, which will only last ‘til the next one after that.

It’s a really well composed, thought-out brilliantly musical project. I go back to hip-hop, acoustic, R’nB, soul, and there’s some Latin music on it. These lyrics are from the pages of my diary. It’s the diary of a young girl going through heartbreak, loss, betrayal, fame, insecurities, doubt, boundaries, self-care, and more than anything, healing. Healing as a young girl at the start of womanhood. Healing and being honest with everything that I’m feeling and experiencing, and bringing it into poetic light and making it very powerful.

I know that it’s going to make a lot of women cry. This is just a little taste of it.

P!nk‘s latest LP, ‘Hurts 2B Human,’ may have opened at #1 on the Billboard 200, but the songs lifted in its support have been hitting sour notes (to say the least) on the Billboard Hot 100.

Coming as her first album since 2003’s ‘Try This’ to see all of its singles miss the top 40 (to date), a change in tide may be coming thanks to assistance from popular Country star Chris Stapleton after the two performed the rousing ‘Human’ duet, ‘Love Me Anyway,’ at this year’s CMAs (November 13).

Having already cracked Country charts, the tune’s made it to #96 on the Hot 100 (as of time of this report).  However, a peruse at iTunes sales tallies over the last few days indicate the CMAs was just the venue to introduce the heartfelt number to the masses as its grip on the chart’s summit hasn’t loosened since Thursday morning (November 14).

Could P!nk be well on her way to the hit ‘Human’ needs?
