#Camilizers rejoice!

Just a week after unveiling ‘Shameless’ and ‘Liar’ – the first two singles from her sophomore solo album, ‘Romance’ (click here to read more) – singer Camila Cabello is inviting fans to fall in love with the visual for the latter.

Likened to her breakout hit, ‘Havana,’ for its Latin flair, The Monsters & Strangerz-produced song’s comparison to her inaugural chart-topper is likely to increase once fans take a glimpse at its cinematic music video.  Directed by Dave Meyers, the ‘Groundhog Day’-inspired clip sees the Grammy nominee learn the hard way about the consequences of dishonesty while she’s trapped in a love triangle between actors Zak Steiner and Keiynan Lonsdale.

Giving fans yet another taste of her acting prowess ahead of her 2020 feature film debut in Disney’s ‘Cinderella’ reboot (click here to read more on that), look inside to laugh, cry, and lie with Camila:

You can knock a lot of things about Grammy-nominated rapstress Iggy Azalea, but one of them certainly isn’t her hustle.

Despite publicly admitting her disappointment in the commercial response to her long-awaited sophomore album, ‘In My Defense’ (click here to read more on that), the 29-year-old is soldiering on in its support.  Most recently spotted gracing the pages of ‘Galore’ magazine, Azalea struck a slew of fierce poses under the lensing of famed photographer Jasper Soloff.

There, she also dished on her latest music video, ‘F*ck It Up’ (featuring Kash Doll), online haters, and so much more.  A fun interview indeed, look inside to see the final products from the photo shoot and read highlights from the accompanying feature story.

Chance the Rapper may have recently disappointed fans with news he won’t be taking to the road as soon as expected to support his latest album, ‘The Big Day’ (as we reported here), but that certainly doesn’t mean he’s paused all his promenades on the promo circuit.

Taking to ‘Ellen’ on Wednesday (September 11), the 26-year-old gave a televised performance of the album’s latest single, ‘Eternal.’  Tapping rapper Smino (who also assists on the song’s recorded version) for backing, the Grammy-winning emcee donned a tuxedo and showed off some fancy footwork to create a Motown-flavored showing.

Look inside to see how he fared and hear him dish on new baby, his longtime love story with wife Kirsten, and so much more:

Jennifer Lopez is undeniably the hardest working woman in show business.

Shortly after wrapping season 3 of her hit NBC reality competition series, ‘World of Dance,’ the diva jetted across America on the wildly successful ‘It’s My Party’ tour.   Upon its completion she hopped right into promo mode for the highly-anticipated flick, ‘Hustlers’ (in theaters September 13). Tackling radio, Web, and television, Lopez has left no stone unturned as she’s visited ‘Good Morning,’ ‘Michael, Sara, & Keke’ to Buzzfeed, ‘Variety,’ and more in the movie’s support.

Most recently blitzing through her hometown of New York City to dish on the Lorene Scafaria-directed female empowerment film, the 50-year-old was reduced to tears as hosts praised her performance.  In addition to addressing the overwhelmingly positive reviews, she responded to rumors of Oscar buzz and those pesky Super Bowl 2020 murmurs (which she only heightened with her recent NFL endorsement seen here).

Look below to see highlights from J. Lo’s crazy week:

Those already having a hard time letting go of FOX’s game-changing hit series, ‘Empire,’ as it takes its final bow were dealt yet another crushing blow when its star Terrence Howard announced he is set to retire from acting.

Ahead of the premiere of the show’s sixth and final season (September 24), Howard and his fellow Academy Award-nominated co-star Taraji P. Henson have been blazing the promo trail in its support.  Dishing on everything from the close of the “Cookie & Luscious” love story to life without Jussie Smollett on set, the duo were very open with the press about the negativity that’s plagued the Lee Daniels-helmed show over the last year.

Later, when quizzed by our friends at ExtraTV on what’s next for him given his already storied career that’s delved into film, television, Broadway, and music, the 50-year-old dropped a bombshell.

They may be some of today’s most independent women in Pop, but Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and Lana Del Rey have united for a special collaboration christened ‘Don’t Call Me Angel.’

With Grande reportedly helming the entirety of the compilation, she’s taking charge with the push for the single – the video for which lands this Friday (September 13th). 

To drum up buzz, she’s unzipped a titillating teaser of the Hannah Lux Davis directed clip. Check it out below…

Despite generating fan frenzy, a critically and commercially acclaimed reunion tour, and highly viewed reality show since the announcement of the reunion of 90’s R&B girl group, Xscape, member Kandi Burruss remained quite vocal about not wanting to record a new album.

Her decision (and subsequent scheduling conflicts due to Broadway) left the quartet’s remaining members – Latocha, Tamika, and Tiny – to pursue new musical ventures as a trio (as we reported here).  In the time since their 2018 ill-fated EP’s release, the ladies have also gone on to explore solo music and television outings – much to the dismay of fans who continued calls for new music from the whole group.

Over a year later, after accepting the Urban Music Icon Award at this year’s Black Music Honors (hosted by Letoya Luckett and Rickey Smiley), Burruss confirms the reception from the audience – as well as pressure from her mother, Joyce – has encouraged her to put aside her hesitation to record new music.
