Dawn-Richard-danity-kane-breakup

One week has passed since Danity Kane dramatically broke up for the second time.

And though it appears the ladies are done for good following a violent studio assault, their ever-loyal fans have been holding out for news on their completed third album.

The set, which spawned Summer sizzler ‘Lemonade’, was due for release later this year and many had hoped it’d still be released as a “Thank You” of sorts to their supporters.

Silence has generally greeted such requests, however today saw member Dawn Richard offer an answer.

See what she had to say below…

Vocal challenges aside, it’s safe to say that Rihanna‘s arrival in 2005 was one of the best things to happen to Pop music, carving out a career supported by undeniably stellar material.

Unfortunately for, her hit-kissed discography meant all of nothing to ‘LA Weekly’ this week, who have slammed her performance at ‘The Monster Tour’, billing her “Michael Jackson on Xanax.”

Their scathing review below…

He’s the provocative radio personality holding a mirror to Pop culture’s face with every headline-grabbing remark. It’s only fitting, then, that Charlamagne Tha God (along with his Breakfast Club co-hosts) leads radio station Power 105.1 to ratings glory.
That Grape Juice caught up with the star during a recent trip to London and discussed music industry politics, payola and his rise from Wendy Williams’ sidekick to the Svengali of his very own Hip Hop brand.
As ever, we ask the questions you really want answers to!

Love her as we may, it’s fair to say Mariah Carey‘s latest album campaign was a dismal disaster. It’s quite apt, then, that one of the singer’s only televised promo spots was the equally as disastrous World Music Awards 2014.

Having taken place in Monaco way back in May, production complications meant it never aired anywhere prior to today.

Luckily for Mimi fans, its UK premiere brought with it the songbird’s opening number – a live rendition of ‘Meteorite’ from ‘Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse’.

Adrienne Bailon hit headlines this week when she opened up to Latina magazine about her ill-fated relationship with reality star Rob Kardashian and how the latter’s surname and show impacted her career negatively.

The story then took on a life of its own when Kim Kardashian and her siblings sprung to the defence of their brother. Indeed, each laid into ‘The Real’ host – overtly implying that she’s only newsworthy because of her association with them. Rob would go on to retweet each comment.

Naturally, given that that there has yet to emerge a Kardashian will any actual talent, many rose to Bailon’s aid – taking the infamous clan to task on social media.

It’s Bailon, though, who defended herself best. Via Instagram, she clapped back with class.

Beyond being Pop forces, the paths of Katy Perry and Lady GaGa had rarely crossed until last Summer.

Indeed, who could forget the media storm whipped up surrounding their respective comeback singles ‘Roar’ and ‘Applause’? It’s a storm that would only go on to intensify once Perry’s song and parent album ‘Prism’ went on to trounce GaGa’s releases in the months that followed.

Since then, their names and narratives have often become interwoven – with Katy often crowned superior (despite some glaring deficiencies on stage).

It appears Rolling Stone have seized on this. For, in their new interview with 29-year-old Perry, they juxtapose mention of GaGa with what could be read as a dig from the former Gospel singer.

Peep the excerpt below to see what we mean…

Cop a gander of Adrienne Bailon, who looks like a bag of money and good living a-front of Latina Magazine‘s September 2014 issue.

It’s not just her cover that’s catching attention, though. It’s her words — more specifically the one’s she offered on her ex boyfriend Rob Kardashian — that have many, including his sister Kim Kardashian, talking the most.

Interestingly, the singer/actress – who adds talk show host to her attributes when ‘The Real’ returns for a full season on September 15th – said that being associated with the “Kardashian” name dented her brand.

Quotes and Kim’s not so subtle response below…
