In an effort to help ‘Glee’ star Darren Criss take his performance to the next level, Pop icon Mariah Carey literally dropped in for a surprise appearance on the forthcoming episode of ‘Lip Sync Battle,’ sending her fans – affectionately called #Lambs – into a frenzy along the way.

Criss – who lip synced to the diva’s 1999 chart-topping single ‘Heartbreaker‘ – also remade the tune’s Brett Ratner-directed music video live.  Just as the audience cheered on his reenactment of the visual’s choreography, Carey descended from the ceiling via a swing decorated in the shape of a butterfly (a symbol she’s been associated with since her 1997 album, ‘Butterfly’).

Tapping longtime producer Jermaine Dupri to assist in the shenanigans, look inside to see your first look:

As we reported here years ago, Gladys Knight made it well known that Destiny’s Child alum Kelly Rowland was her top choice for portrayal of her legendary life in a biopic.

And, while that wish was (to a degree) honored when the ‘Motivation’ singer was picked to play the ‘Empress of Soul’ in BET’s forthcoming, ‘Soul Train’-inspired television series – ‘American Soul’ – it certainly gives the 37-year-old the chance to show off her acting chops in case the full length biographical film ever develops.

Until then, look inside for your first peek at Rowland assuming the role of the R&B icon…

Scandal rocked the Reggaeton arena this week when portions of an “intimate video” of Ozuna – one of its leading stars – hit the net.

Complicating the story the more were growing rumors that (prior to the vid’s release) the ‘Taki Taki’ performer had been at the center of an extortion attempt – given that two other men are said to appear in the same video. Take from that what you will.

In any case, the name of a local queer rapper, Kevin Fret, was attached the extortion story. As such, when he was mysteriously murdered this month, the snowball of hearsay became too big to ignore.

Addressing the matter head-on, Ozuna is speaking up and out…

It’s been a decade since Soulja Boy became one of the modern net’s most viral entities with self-produced smashes such as ‘Crank Dat.’ 

Fast forward to the present and he’s doing it all over again, but this time off the back of his interview on ‘The Breakfast Club’

Shared just one week ago, the sit-down has amassed over 12 million views (thanks largely to Soulja’s comments on “Drraaaaake” Drake and..well…everyone).

Wasting no time seizing the moment, the rapper has dropped a new song ‘Cut Dat Check’ and says he’s gearing up to hit the road with Nicki Minaj.

It’s here! Finally.

Teyana Taylor has – at long last – unleashed the video for new single ‘WTP.’

Initially due last Saturday, the visual was delayed without explanation and left the singer seething at her label on social media.

With the drama in rearview, the star re-affixes the focus on the popular track – which is lifted from sophomore album ‘K.T.S.E.’

A homage to New York’s famed ballroom scene, Taylor turns all the way up with a fitting salute.

Check out the video, which features appearances from husband Iman Shumpert and actress Lena Waithe, below…
