BET are building on the success of their New Edition biopic by honing in on the story of its most controversial member – Bobby Brown.

Aptly titled, ‘The Bobby Brown Story’ is set to blaze the box later this year and will be broadcast as a two-part event.

Anchored by Woody McClain, who reprises the role of Brown from the New Edition flick, the biopic promises a warts and all insight into the life of R&B’s most-prolific bad boy.

No stone will be left unturned. As such, viewers will see his solo run, rocky relationship with Whitney Houston (played by Gabrielle Dennis), and his struggles with drugs all play out.

Ahead of the film’s September premiere, EW have shared a first look.

The life and legacy of Whitney Houston continues to prove fascinating for the masses six years on from her tragic death.

A litany of projects have been released since – including live albums and biographical broadcasts.

The latter has been most controversial: case in point Lifetime’s polarizing ‘Whitney’ pic and Nick Broomfield’s documentary ‘Can I Be Me’ (which was well-received but critiqued by the singer’s family due to its heavy focus on her sexuality).

In a bid to tell the story on their terms, the diva’s estate have teamed with Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald for what they’re billing as the definitive doc film – ‘Whitney.’

Certainly one to have fans chatting with its futuristic visuals and special effects, the clip – a bit creepy in part we’ll admit – is definitely an engaging one (to say the least).  Look below and let us know your thoughts:

Demonstrating a ‘return to form’ of sorts courtesy of his latest releases – ‘Good Man’ (the title track from his forthcoming album) and ‘Another Love Song’ – R&B singer/songwriter Ne-Yo continues to tease a full on comeback, most recently tapping rapstress Stefflon Don and fellow chart-topping singer/songwriter Bebe Rexha to assist.

Last Friday, the trio delivered ‘Push Back’ (click here to listen) – an island-kissed groove that has fans and critics delivering thumbs up across the board.  To see that fanfare extended to music buyers at large, the Grammy winner’s giving a behind the scenes look at the video’s creation.

Vivica A. Fox may have spent the weekend topping headlines for her reignited beef with ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Kenya Moore (who Fox’s branded a ‘toxic trick’), but the week kicked off with her in full promo mode in support of her April 3rd-released book, ‘Everyday I’m Hustling.’

Part self-help/part-memoir, the page-turner courted controversy weeks before its arrival on shelves as previews indicated Fox detailed some of her bedroom activity with former beau, rapper 50 Cent. The latest in the two’s ongoing rivalry, the news led 50 to clap back via Instagram (click here to read that).

Undeterred, this week saw Fox not only continue to openly discuss the content in her book related to 50, but also assure fans the beef between them has actually subsided (despite headlines suggesting otherwise).

Fans of 7-time Grammy winner Toni Braxton (affectionately called ‘Toni’s Tigers’) had an 8 year wait between the singer’s last solo outing, 2010’s ‘Pulse,’ and her most recent effort, ‘Sex & Cigarettes.’

‘Cigarettes,’ which hit shelves March 23rd, was preceded by the critically acclaimed Urban AC cuts ‘Deadwood’ and ‘Long As I Live’ and was greeted with generally positive reviews.  Unfortunately, that fanfare was not reflected commercially as – just a day after its release – industry analysts predicted the set would not shift more than 18,000 units SPS its first week of availability.

Moreover, with minimal television, print, or radio support to change the tide, the ‘Breathe Again’ beauty’s 8th LP proved them right.  Tuck inside to see how many units the project sold and where it landed on this week’s Billboard 200:
