If there’s one thing that’s become a necessary with Madonna, it’s to “never count her out”.

The Pop queen had been rocked by the multi-stage leak of her new album, ‘Rebel Heart’, months before its March 10th arrival.

And while she attempted to Olivia Pope the matter by rush-releasing six tracks to iTunes, the lack of buzz for lead single ‘Living For Love’ has had many worried given how close the LP’s release date now is.

Fans needn’t fret, though. Because the singer’s team have unveiled plans which should appease them two-fold.

Material Madge is heading out on a major tour and has unveiled a unique means of tying the trek to the new music. Details below…

So much for kissing and making up!  See it below:

Being the most popular new television show on the air certainly comes as a double edged sword, just as FOX’s hit series ‘Empire.’

On one end, fans can’t get enough and tune in to the show in droves to watch the weekly antics of its main characters “Lucious Lyons” (Terrence Howard) and “Cookie” (Taraji P. Henson). On the other end, critics also tune in to scrutinize every “hot button” the show dares to press (see: alleged “gay agenda,” poor representation of African Americans, etc.).

Case in point?

Fans of the show are still griping over its unceremonious slam of President Barack Obama after one of its main characters branded him a “sellout.”  Weeks after the episode in questions, the “backlash” annoyed Henson to the point where she lent a fiery response to viewers:  ‘…I’m glad you mad. Do something about it.’

This, just a fans mistakenly went in on Black America’s favorite newscaster Don Lemon for saying he “hates” the show.   See what we mean inside:
