Just with a preview alone the explosive CBS interview with R. Kelly sent the net into a frenzy.

Airing in full moments ago, the emotionally-charged sit down saw resident anchor Gayle King grill the R&B superstar on harrowing sexual abuse accounts from numerous victims that led his indictment on 10 counts of sexual assault (click here to read more).

“I’m very tired of all of the um, lies, I’ve been hearing things and seeing things on the blogs, and I’m just tired,” he told King on “CBS This Morning” during the interview that aired Wednesday (March 6). “Everybody says something bad about me. Nobody said something good. They was describing Lucifer. I’m not Lucifer. I’m a man. I made mistakes, but I’m not a devil.”

Later reducing to tears, the singer-songwriter adamantly proclaimed his innocence throughout the clip.  See part 1 (which aired March 6) of the 3-part interview inside:

Tamar Braxton may have taken to the ‘Wendy Williams Show’ to proclaim she is trying to live a drama free life these days (click here to watch), but she must have had a relapse if the unceremonious dragging she received on Twitter is to judge by.

The 41-year-old, no stranger to sister groups and certainly not to the Gospel arena’s influence, opted to come for the wig (literally) of one of The Anointed Pace Sisters – one of the genre’s most revered familial ensembles.  A nine sister composite known for their soaring harmonies and spirited vocal stylings, Lashun Pace may be the most famous of the siblings for her timeless Gospel classic, ‘I Know I’ve Been Changed,’ but the collective has been royally praised for hits like ‘When God is in the Building,’ ‘Safety Zone,’ and more.

After Beyonce‘s mom, Tina Knowles-Lawson, recently took to social media to post a video of sister Duranice Pace singing “Amazing Grace,” some followers caught wind of a comment left by Braxton:

“Yeah but the wig is stressing me out.”

Needless to say, the Sisters – along with the help of angry fans, Gospel music lovers, and the Holy Spirit – got Braxton “to and gether” for the infraction. Details inside:

R. Kelly has largely avoided the media in the years following the sexual assault trial he faced in 2008.

However, after being hit with 10 fresh counts for the same conduct, the R&B singer is attempting to clear his name by sitting down with CBS. 

In a tearful interview with Gayle King, the embattled crooner claimed the case against him was “not true” and chalked the latest allegations down to “rumors.” He went on to vent that “they” are trying to drudge up old allegations from a case that he “beat.”

Set for full broadcast on Wednesday’s episode of CBS This Morning, an heated preview has been released.

The run-up to the broadcast of HBO’s Michael Jackson documentary ‘Leaving Neverland’ was defined by an avalanche of media coverage.

Controversial from its announcement, the Dan Reed production spotlighted two men who accused the singer of abuse – despite previously testifying under oath that the star never did anything of the sort.

Still, the trio did the press rounds touting their narrative. However, they were followed at every turn by supporters of Jackson who presented compelling (and oft overlooked) evidence that cast a cloud of doubt over the claims. Including the fact that one of the men, Wade Robson, only launched his campaign after trying and failing to secure work in a Las Vegas show mounted in Jackson’s honor.

The late legend’s Estate took the fight a step further by filing a $100 million lawsuit against HBO – citing a breach of contract about representation of Jackson’s character relating to an earlier deal..

For both sides, the battle-lines had clearly been drawn. And with all the debate it ignited,  the one consensus seemed to be that a ratings win was a cert.

Yet, with the figures revealed, it appears the public just weren’t that interested.
