The actress Monique inspired thousands survivors of sexual abuse around the world when she revealed that her older brother had molested her when she was a child.

Shortly after, her good friend Oprah Winfrey invited her family onto her talkshow to quiz them on how the abuse started and how and why Monique’s parents had been able to maintain a relationship with their son even after hearing their daughter’s story.

This month, Monique took to the net to blast Winfrey and her ‘Precious’ collaborator Lee Daniels after learning of their supposed decision to blackball her.

Today, she has revealed that she feels Oprah manipulated a personal moment they shared for ratings.

Katy Perry continues to leave no stone unturned in the push for new album ‘Witness’ (due June 9th).

This evening saw her seize the Saturday Night Live finale as her latest platform to plug the project.

As is customary for the show’s musical guest, the starlet took to the stage twice. She first tackled newest number ‘Swish Swish’ sans Nicki Minaj – but with special friends. Joined by Migos, she then showcased ‘Bon Appetit.’

Check out both performances below…

Blah.

Set to be slammed is the documentary ‘Can I Be Me’, a project which seeks to expose the ugly truth behind the late vocalist’s career.

Showtime will serve as the project’s home and will join its producers to share what they say is an accurate, and occasionally uncomfortable, look into Whitney’s rise to fame, her peak and untimely decline.

That isn’t all.

For, it will also barge its way into murmurs that the performer was once in a same-sex love affair.

Rihanna may be inconsistent as a performer, but when it comes to red carpets she rarely misfires.

Beyonce, who is on the brink of becoming a mother of three, celebrated Mother’s Day in style last week.

In her tried and true practice of giving a retrospective look at her life, Queen Bey has today shared snaps from the occasion with daughter Blue Ivy, mom Tina Knowles, and husband Jay Z.

The group soaked in all the sweetness of the Museum of Ice Cream in Los Angeles.

Filled to the brim with fashion-forward creativity, Jamaica’s infamous venerable Dancehall Queens often stand uncredited for their impact on American Pop culture and couture.

So, in honour of the innovative dancers whose unique sense of style often finds itself inspiring many a world renowned fashion designer, today’s Retro Rewind revisits the cult classic of the same name.

The movie was released in 1997 and followed the colourful life of a young woman named Marcia who finds herself caught in a web of lies, deceit, murder and danger following the slaying of her friend.

With a family to protect, she does what she must to escape a lifestyle which threatens to destroy those she loves.

How she does it?

Fresh from announcing a new tour, Mary J. Blige gave the Today Show Summer Concert Series a preview of what to expect with two rousing performances.

The R&B royal rocked the full-to-capacity New York crowd with ‘Thick Of It’ from her latest album ‘Strength Of A Woman’ and fan favorite ‘Family Affair.’

Check out both showings…

While enjoyable for the most part, there were corners of her vocal that made for a difficult listen.

Hopefully, she rests up after this full-on press run and re-charges ahead of the tour.
