With an ongoing media onslaught surrounding his allegedly faked homophobic attack, ‘Hurt People’ singer Jussie Smollett’s seeing his real life drama hurt the ratings of the scripted drama, ‘Empire.’

Once FOX’s flagship production, the Taraji P. Henson-led series was already steadily declining in viewership ahead of the commotion caused by Smollett – a feat the negative press certainly didn’t help.  Just a week after posting its lowest season premiere ratings (mid-season or otherwise), reports now have it ‘Empire’ delivered its lowest figures to date (overall) on its Wednesday (March 20) episode.

Despite being in the middle of her 150+ date ‘Beautiful Trauma’ world tour, P!nk is still finding time to crank out new music to the masses.

Now, ahead of its parent project’s April 2019 debut, the 39-year-old’s unveiled its accompanying music video.  A stunning visual directed by ‘The Greatest Showman’ director Michael Gracey and co-directed by Stuart Bowen, the clip sees the songstress take to the sky in familiar fashion to soar, dance, drop, and pop across a starry city while belting out her latest hit (a la Taylor Swift‘s ‘Delicate’ music video).

As Jussie Smollett gears up for a colossal legal battle, his friend and ‘Empire’ boss Lee Daniels is speaking up and out about the scandal everyone’s talking about.

Last month, the 36-year-old was indicted on 16 counts related what Chicago authorities are saying was a “staged attack.”

At the time of the incident, Smollett filed a police report asserting that he was targeted because of his race and sexuality.

The fall-out from the drama not only has the actor’s role on ‘Empire’ placed in jeopardy, but the entire show’s future too.

It would appear the latter has prompted Daniels – who was one of the first to voice support for Smollett initially – to touch on the matter as best as he could.

Interposing one of music history’s most beloved tunes into your work can come with a hefty price tag; ask Ariana Grande.

The Grammy-winner – who just saw her latest hit, ‘7 Rings,’ return to the top of the Hot 100 for its 6th non-consecutive week (click here to read more) – knows all too well about the cost of such ventures as ‘Rings’ contains reinterpretations of Rodgers & Hammerstein (the songwriters who penned ‘My Favorite Things’ from the iconic ‘Sound of Music’ soundtrack).

And, while modern acts like rappers Soulja Boy and Princess Nokia allege they’re due a piece of the ‘Rings’ royalties pie (click here to read more on that), Rodgers & Hammerstein – two of 10 credited writers on the Grande hit – take so much of it there’s barely a slice left for others.
