Having warmed up the masses with the Nicki Minaj assisted ‘Somebody Else’, R&B crooner Mario continues his comeback campaign with new single ‘Fatal Distraction’.

Of the song, the singer confesses that the mid-tempo was inspired by a real life situation in which he was dating his manager’s ex-girlfriend. “{The song} just talks about the distractions and temptations and the infatuation that can have on a man when it comes to a woman”.

Is the song as dramatic as its inspiration? The answer awaits after the jump….

In recent years, the existence of new Lil’ Kim material has become a myth of sorts. Indeed, promises of a new album have only yielded an LOL of a mixtape and an arguably lost battle with Nicki Minaj.

Still, in a bid to show that she still has “it”, the self-styled Queen B sprung a surprise on fans this morning in honour of her 39th birthday – the full version of new single ‘Looks Like Money’.

Taking to Twitter, she wrote:

Here’s just a LITTLE gift from ME to U on MY birthday! #LooksLikeMoney

The ego-soaked number (which takes a swipe at Minaj from the first line) may look like money, but does it sound like it too? You be the judge after the jump…

With American Idol wrapped, it’s back to business for Nicki Minaj.

The Young Money madam joins R&B crooner Mario as a guest on his comeback single ‘Somebody Else’ – which hit the net last month.

As the old age adage goes, time waits for no one. Hence, in a bid to give the track an added push, the pair came together to shoot its accompanying video.

With Ciara‘s ‘Body Party’ still blazing Urban radio, it figures that the singer is keen to keep the music playing.

The stage blazer, who is set to rock London’s indig02 tomorrow, has called on R&B crooner Ne-Yo for a titillating new remix of the Mike Will produced number.

What are you waiting for? The Party continues after the jump…

They’re rarely spotted out in public together, but it seems Nicki Minaj and Ciara have developed quite the friendship in recent months.

For, after Ciara lent her skills to the Rapper’s 2012 EP ‘The Re-Up’ and Minaj featured on her 2013 cut ‘I’m Out’, it has now emerged that the pair collaborated again on Ciara‘s feel good jam ‘Livin’ It Up‘, lifted from hew new LP ‘Ciara’.

While the masses are getting their first taste of Mario‘s triumphant, Nicki Minaj-enlisted return ‘Somebody Else’, the Polow Da Don-produced tune was reportedly up for serve first by fellow crooner Chris Brown.

Brown, who is in promo mode to prep the release of his highly anticipated ‘X’ album, can be heard pulling double duty over the heartbreaking number – singing and rapping to tell the story of love gone awry.

Does the ‘Run It’ beau run this one better or does Mario do it most justice?  Listen below and you decide:

As earlier reported, Ciara sprung a surprise on fans tonight and revealed new single ‘I’m Out’ featuring Young Money maven Nicki Minaj.

And with excitement still in the air following the gritty cut’s premiere, the 27-year-old has unwrapped its accompanying artwork — which you can peep above.

‘I’m Out’ serves as the second single to be lifted from the stage blazer’s new self-titled album (due July 9th via Epic). Its predecessor ‘Body Party’ is a certified Urban hit and even managed mainstream success after achieving a Billboard Hot 100 peak of #34 (major, in today’s climate, for ANY R&B song).

Great to have Ms. Harris “back”, right?!

Your thoughts?

The fierce fashion at the Met Gala 2013 may have set the net ablaze, however its snaps from inside the event that’ll likely have most talking.

Case, point, Nicki Minaj‘s seemingly innocent photo opp with music mogul and Mariah Carey‘s ex-husband Tommy Mottola. After all, while there’s every chance the Young Money star’s run-in with Mottola could have been coincidental, many will question the timing of the pic given Minaj’s recent Twitter outburst against fellow American Idol judge and ‘#Beautiful’ singer Mimi. Then, of course, there’s Tommy’s recent tell-all book on his time with the multi-octave vocalist. Hmm.

On a less controversial note, peep pics of Madonna posing it up with Beyonce and Frank Ocean below…
