OneRepublic lead singer Ryan Tedder sent his Twitter mentions soaring over the weekend when he took to the annual Global Citizen Festival to confirm Beyonce would be joining forces with Adele for the Pop group’s upcoming album.

Having written hits for both in the past (‘Halo’ for Bey, ‘Turning Tables’ for Addy), news outlets and fans of both divas alike immediately assumed Tedder’s comments had merit – a circumstance only supported by the Pop divas’ very public comments of admiration for each other over the years.

Monday morning (September 30) saw those fan dreams dashed, however, after a rep for the 40-year-old singer-songwriter confirmed the collaboration is not happening.

September 24 marked the sixth season kick offs of hit ABC series ‘Black-ish’ and FOX’s former flagship, ‘Empire,’ respectively.

For the latter, which saw its cancellation announced earlier this year (as we reported here), the pressure was on to carry on after the PR nightmare caused by former star Jussie Smollett‘s alleged hate crime hoax.  With its negative impact already seen and felt in the latter half of the Lee Daniels-helmed show’s season 5, hopes weren’t exactly high for the series’ season 6 premiere – despite being its last – to rebound to its former glory.

Similarly, ABC’s ‘Black-ish’ – albeit able to boast a scandal-free run (to date) – has seen a steady decline in its viewership since its 2014 debut as well (which pulled in a whopping 11.04 million viewers).  Once the ratings leaders for their respective nights, ‘Empire,’ now airing on Tuesday nights, not only had to face off with ‘Black-ish’ but also against the likes of NBC’s juggernaut ‘This Is Us’ and CBS’ ‘FBI.’

Your thoughts?

After springing a successful spinoff to Freeform in the form of the Yara Shahidi-led ‘Grown-ish,’ ABC’s hit series ‘Black-ish’ attempts to prove itself evergreen by sprouting a prequel in the form of the Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Tika Sumpter-toplined ‘Mixed-ish.’

Executive produced by creator Kenya Barris and Tracee Ellis Ross (who portrays ‘Rainbow Johnson’ on ‘Black-ish’), ‘Mixed-ish’ tells the story of Ross’ character growing up as a biracial child in the 1980’s. Loosely based on the early life of Dr. Rania Barris (co-creator Kenya’s soon-to-be former wife), the comedy series also chronicles the dilemmas her family faces trying to adjust from “hippie life” to suburbia.

Despite being given an extra promotional push by securing biracial Pop icon Mariah Carey to sing its theme song (as we reported here), the series premiered on September 24 to a moderate audience.  Details inside:

The wait for new music is coming to a close, Kelly Rowland assures in a new interview.

Although taking to our friends at ExtraTV on Friday (September 27) to primarily dish on her ongoing partnership with online subscription-based sportswear retailer Fabletics, the diva also admitted she’s ready to lift the lid on her new album – her first studio effort since 2013’s ‘Talk a Good Game.’  Speaking glowingly of the forthcoming project, Rowland shared:

“Yes, there is music coming very soon. I am over the moon…I am very excited about this phase.”

That elation was only mirrored by her surprise when she found out Jennifer Lopez and Shakira had been tapped to headline the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show (click here to read more).  As if these hot topics weren’t enough, Kelly also took a moment to join the chorus of #Beyhive members who proclaim Beyonce was robbed of an Emmy for her outstanding Netflix concert documentary, ‘Homecoming.’
