‘Walk It Out’ wailer Jennifer Hudson can be seen strutting her stuff inside the pages of November’s ‘Cosmpolitan.’  Hitting newsstands October 10, the songstress – who is spending her fall as a coach on NBC’s ‘The Voice’ – is thankfully using her voice to put the finishing touches on her long-delayed fourth album.

And, while she may have not shed any particularly new light on the project in ‘Cosmo,’ her spread in the fashion/lifestyle mag was still quite the read.  Sharing some interesting tidbits on some of her former movie co-stars, including Beyonce and Sarah Jessica Parker, tuck in to see the finished products from the cute shoot inside and even go behind the scenes:

In addition to promoting the final season of WETv’s hit reality series, ‘Mary Mary,’ ‘Speak the Word’ wailer Tina Campbell took to daytime talk show ‘The Real’ to speak on the controversy surrounding her recently reiterated support of sitting president Donald Trump.

As fans of the songstress know, she’s never been shy about backing the businessman-turned-politician, but the comments recently picked up some serious steam.  So much so, Campbell became the center of vicious verbal attacks on her social media handles (leading her to temporarily disable the comments on them).

When quizzed about the hoop-la, she definitely did not mince words and reminded people why she voted for “The Donald” in the first place:

Today saw her stop by ‘The Breakfast Club’ and oh did she dish.

Sitting down with Charlamagne, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee, the 40-year-old opened up about her LP, why it’s her last, record sales, and her spats with Tiny and Toya Wright.

The move to Tuesdays hasn’t proven itself the most lucrative for ABC hit comedy, ‘Black-ish’ (Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross).  Airing on Wednesdays for seasons 1-3, the show’s quaternary season premiere (October 3) saw it relocated to Tuesday nights and pitted up against ratings titans ‘This Is Us’ (NBC) and ‘Bull’ (CBS).

Sadly, despite critical acclaim for the timely, “in your face” subject matter presented on last night’s episode, its viewership did not reflect the fanfare.

As we reported here, Queen of Ska Gwen Stefani is looking to crown charts next week with the release of her first holiday-themed effort, ‘You Make It Feel Like Christmas’ (in stores October 6th).

After kicking off the set with the release of its title track (featuring boyfriend Blake Shelton), now Stefani’s following up with her spirited take on ‘Santa Baby’ – a tongue-in-cheek Christmas classic first popularized by actress/singer Eartha Kitt.

Did she do the yuletide favorite justice?  Listen below and tell us:

Demi Lovato is in top form if the Hot 100 is anything to judge by.

In addition to seeing her sixth album, ‘Tell Me You Love Me,’ headed straight to the top of album streaming charts next week (#2 overall on the Billboard 200), the powerhouse songstress is also shining on the singles charts.

The set’s lead single, ‘Sorry Not Sorry,’ was released back in early July but – thanks to renewed interest in the track due to promotion of its parent project – the Oak Felder-produced cut has found its way to the top 10.  Coming as not only a victory for Lovato (whose last top 10 hit, ‘Heart Attack,’ peaked in the chart’s topmost dectet in 2013), but also for women overall as this year’s Hot 100 – especially the top 10 – has certainly been in need of some estrogen doses.

See who joins her on the Cardi B-led chart on this week’s refreshed “Chart Check:  Hot 100”:
