It’s been nearly five months since Future topped the Billboard 200 with his latest album, ‘I Never LIked You,’ but that doesn’t mean the GRAMMY-winning rapper has abandoned promotion of the hits-filled project.

His latest supportive effort came courtesy of a visit to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Wednesday (September 28) when he offered quite the creative live take on his LP’s housed hit, ‘Love You Better.’

‘Abbott Elementary’ star Quinta Brunson was penciled in history books at Monday’s EMMYs (September 12) when she took home the trophy for comedy writing (as we reported here).

However, the sweet historic moment was soured, according to some, when Will Arnett and late nite talk show host Jimmy Kimmel performed a skit that saw the latter lie on the floor for the duration of her acceptance speech (which drew attention away from her as it distracted viewers).

Brunson may have laughed off the incident the night of, but that didn’t stop the brewed backlash on Twitter as many slammed Kimmel for “ruining” the moment.

Already scheduled to be a guest on his show later in the week, Jimmy took the opportunity to publicly apologize to Quinta Wednesday (September 14) and give her the opportunity to say her speech again.

Nearly two months after introducing fans to the Sheanseea and Gwen Stefani-assisted ‘Light My Fire,’ Dancehall royal Sean Paul is bringing the heat via the tune’s official music video.

The latest lift from his aptly titled May-released eighth studio album ‘Scorcha’ (which peaked in the top 10 hit on Billboard’s Reggae charts), ‘Fire’ is accompanied by a sizzling visual that sees its stars turn up at a retro-inspired house party.

“‘Light My Fire’ is a big bad lover’s rock song and we had to represent it with a big bad video. We went retro on the attire in the video and basically getting ready to party and some lovers rocking. It’s a vibe we hope everyone gets when they listen to the track,” Paul said reflecting on the creation of the clip.

To give the tune an extra push, Sean – who has already rocked global stages with the ‘Scorcha’ tour – was joined by Stefani on ‘Kimmel’ recently to show those who couldn’t catch him live what they missed.  Look inside to see their hot performance of ‘Fire.’

Demi Lovato doesn’t waste time when it comes to hitting the promo trail in support of new music.

The same night the hitmaker’s last single, ‘Skin of My Teeth,’ made its world premiere, Lovato appeared on ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’ to render its first live televised performance – a boost that undoubtedly helped the Rock number soar into the top 20 on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart (#13 peak).

Hoping its follow-up ‘Substance’ will do even better bidding on Billboard with that same formula, Lovato tapped gal pal Paris Hilton to star in its music video and zoomed to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ to show off a live performance of the cut shortly after its July 15 premiere.

“I don’t remember last week, got my head scratching/ But everyone’s acting like nothing is lacking,” Demi wails on the Oak, Keith Sorrells, & Alex Niceforo-produced song. “I think we might be crashing, everyone’s laughing / Time is just passing, yet nothing lasts.”

Both ‘Substance’ and ‘Teeth’ will appear on Demi’s forthcoming eighth studio album, ‘Holy FVCK,’ due on digital shelves August 19.  Ahead of the LP’s arrival, peep the official video for ‘Substance’ inside.
