Classified as one of the Internet’s leading trolls, entertainment mogul 50 Cent‘s no stranger to making headlines for his often controversial opinion.  However, the ‘Candy Shop’ hitmaker may have bitten off a bit more than he could chew when he took to Instagram recently to declare Chris Brown had unseated Michael Jackson as the reigning King of Pop.

The backlash not only led to criticism from his followers on the social media platform, but even MJ’s daughter, Paris, entered a war of words with 50 (born Curtis Jackson) over his comments.  After Brown politely disagreed with the 44-year-old’s assessment (click here to read), Curtis – hot on the promo trail in support of the latest season of STARZ’ flagship series, ‘Power’ – took to our friends at Hot 97 to double down on his belief that Breezy’s the best to ever do it.

Although strategic endorsements and business partnerships have kept “brand K. Michelle” afloat over the last two years, the reality TV maven/singer’s primary claim to fame – music – can’t boast the same buoyancy.  Despite a string of R&B chart-topping albums from 2013-2016, 2017’s ‘Kimberly: The People I Used to Know’ – after a #56 debut on the Billboard 200 – quickly fell off the tally and, to date, has not made an impact comparable to that of its predecessors.

Now, after putting the finishing touches on her fifth studio effort, ‘All Monsters Are Human,’ the 34-year-old is looking to turn a new page on her career narrative.  Sending fans into a frenzy, she recently announced a slew of new ventures including a new tour in support of the LP and more.

December 20 marks the date the star-studded film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Weber‘s Broadway classic ‘Cats’ pounces into a theater near you.

Starring Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, Jason Derulo, Idris Elba, James Corden, Rebel Wilson, and many more familiar names, fans of any of the aforementioned can expect to see much of them in the coming months hitting the promo trail in support of the Tom Hooper-directed flick.

The latest in a string of visuals to that point comes in the form of a behind the scenes teaser released Monday (September 9).  Highlighting the fancy feline footwork of the film’s stars, the clip shows the work that went into conditioning the actors for their portrayals of cats.

 “If you told me I was going to get to be a cat, for work? What?” Swift gushed of her role of Bombalurina.

Castmate Corden echoed the sentiment:

“You’re gonna take a load of people, and they’re going to pretend to be cats,” he says in the new teaser. “Like, if you just say it out loud, it’s bonkers. But that’s where the most fun happens, really.”

The response to ‘Never Really Over’ and ‘Small Talk’ – the first two singles from Katy Perry‘s forthcoming, yet-titled sixth studio album – may be signals her career is on the up-and-up after the dismal ‘Witness’ era,  but with peaks of #15 and #81 respectively on the Hot 100 their respective streaming and digital sales performances remain modest at best.

Yet, while she is reportedly hard-at-work on ‘Talk’s follow-up, the Charlie Puth-penned ‘Harleys in Hawaii,’ fans are the ones doing the most surfing – namely of the collage of hits from her heyday.
