The jaw-dropping trailer to Academy Award-winning director Tom Hooper’s highly anticipated adaptation of the iconic musical ‘Cats’ dropped today and we couldn’t be more excited.

Pouncing into theaters December 20, the CGI-laden flick – which stars a slew of familiar music stars including the likes of Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, and Jason Derulo – also calls on Hollywood heavy hitters Idris Elba, James Corden, Rebel Wilson, Ian McKellen, and Judi Dench to help round out the cast.

Featuring the unforgettable Andrew Lloyd Webber score, including the play’s signature tune, ‘Memory’ (performed by Hudson), the screenplay is written by Lee Hall (famous for his work on the recent Elton John biopic ‘Rocketman’) and the legendary Steven Spielberg signed on to executive produce.

It’s been nearly a week since Jermaine Dupri rocked headlines for his assertion that ‘female rappers are just rapping strippers’ commentary (click here to read more), yet the Rap mogul is still enduring backlash from the statement.

Once his “observation” landed on the desk of stripper-turned-Rap star Cardi B, the femcee clapped back by explaining that female rappers who do not load their lyrics with sexual references tend not to sell as well as those who do.  Her response only highlighted why Dupri’s statement was so problematic, a feat that’s led So So Def founder to explain how his words were taken out of context.

Taking to our friends at TMZ, JD was sure to remind viewers he is ‘not a sexist’ and that his statement was misrepresented as an opinion on all female Rap in general:

Pop stageblazer Jennifer Lopez has seen her name atop many-a-wishlist for the Super Bowl Halftime Show headlining slot for years and – after two missteps in the form of Justin Timberlake and Maroon 5 respectively – fans of the songstress just may get their wish granted for next year.

Lopez, whose noted past relationship with Pepsi (the show’s sponsor) makes her a shoo in for the coveted spot, is also reportedly gearing up to release a new album by the year’s end.  As supporters continue to keep their fingers crossed for the timing tie-in, the 49-year-old took to ‘ET’ recently to discuss the possibility of bringing her hits to the Halftime Show stage when it hits Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium in February 2020.

As if that wasn’t enough to excite viewers, she also dished on the highly publicized New York black out that shut down her Madison Square Garden show over the weekend (click here to read more), her hit ‘It’s My Party’ tour, and so much more.  Hear it all inside:

Danity Kane star Aubrey O’Day may be rocking headlines for her surprising statements about exes Donald Trump Jr. and Pauly D on the season 3 premiere of MTV’s ‘Ex on the Beach’ (July 16), but she’s also dropped jaws for slamming that very network for the poor ratings of its current shows and for not involving Danity Kane, Day 26, or Donnie Klang in the recently announced reboot of ‘Making the Band’ (click here to read).

Taking to our friends at ‘The Blast,’ O’Day didn’t mince words when quizzed on her feelings on the rap mogul.  Pinpointing him as the main reason the Platinum-selling group broke up in the first place (and went from a quintet to a trio), the 35-year-old asserted that including all five ladies on the reboot would give him the chance to right the wrong of their mistreatment from over a decade ago.

Shots fired! Hear her stinging words inside:
