Fans of pop icon Janet Jackson have taken to Twitter to give the NFL some…umm…feedback (*insert devilish grin*) after the sports entertainment leaders – alongside annual sponsors Pepsi – officially announced Justin Timberlake as the 2018 Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner [click here to read more on that].

Relying on the hashtag #JusticeforJanet, users banded together in droves to voice their disappointment in the football league for electing the “president of Pop” as next year’s starring act 13 years after banning Jackson for her role in the “wardrobe malfunction” that changed television forever.

The problem?  Jan remains banned by the NFL while Timberlake, one-half of the perpetrators of the “event,” is being celebrated.   Are White privilege and male privilege to blame in the decision?

Some Twitter users sure think so:

Rap “it” couple, Offset (of Migos) and Cardi B, are back together after a brief trip to “splitsville” over the weekend.

As fans of either may have seen, the twosome went through a very public breakup – taking to Instagram to let their followers know (through emojis and…umm…other subtle hints) of the status of their relationship. Just as Twitter steamed with reports of the split, Cardi came with an announcement they’d reconciled.

Camila Cabello and Rita Ora have been dominating the UK charts of late, so it’s little surprise that the pair were both tapped to perform at the BBC Radio 1’s Teen Awards 2017.

Former Fifth Harmony star Cabello currently reigns a atop of the British tally with ‘Havana.’ Hence, it was the natural choice to thrill the audience with at the Wembley Arena.

Elsewhere,  Ora rocked the house with a medley of her recent hits ‘Your Song,’ ‘Lonely Together,’ and ‘Anywhere.’

From The Vault is back this week with a modern R&B classic; today’s pick is LeToya Luckett’s ‘Regret.’

The third single from the Destiny’s Child star’s sophomore set ‘Lady Love’ in 2009, the gem was helmed by Tank with additional writing by the songbird and guest feature Ludacris.

Lyrically, the cut sees Luckett explaining to her ex the many ways in which he will miss her.

An instant fan favorite, it was a Hot Hip-Hop/R&B Top 10 hit for the singer, peaking at #8 but only reaching #78 on the Hot 100.

Thanks to an online petition powered by the singer’s supporters, a video was released for the song. Directed by Parris, it starred LeToya, Luda, Tank, as well as male model (and Left Eye’s longtime boyfriend) Sean Newman as “the” ex-lover. He also featured in preceding visual ‘She Ain’t Got.’

*******

Almost a decade after ‘Regret’ and its parent album, LeToya finally came ‘Back 2 Life’ musically this year. And continues to boast an engaging vision.

Indeed, it’s exciting seeing her push as an independent act and coming up with great quality music as well as innovative concepts like the ‘Back 2 Life’ video trilogy.

Lady Gaga has always used her platform for positivity and yesterday lived up to that billing by making a surprise appearance at the “Deep From the Heart: The One America Appeal” concert.

The show took place to raise money for the hurricane recovery efforts following the recent devastation caused by the disasters in the US, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

Attended by five former US presidents (including Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush), the event saw Gaga deliver dynamite showings of ‘Million Reasons,’ ‘You And I,’ and ‘The Edge of Glory.’ And at the end, she received a standing ovation from all. Clinton even shed a tear.
