Led by an all-star cast including Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx, comedians Wanda Sykes and Will Ferrell, Anthony Anderson, Woody Harrelson, Kerry Washington, and many more, the showing not only earned a load of laughs but saw its parent network, ABC, laugh all the way to the top of the night’s Nielsen ratings charts.

Ciara‘s newest album, ‘Beauty Marks,’ was just released on May 10th and is already well on its way to making its mark on R&B charts if early reads of streams and digital sales are any indication.

Pounding the promo pavement in a bid to ensure that impact is as expected, the Grammy-winner’s hitting TV (‘The View,’ an upcoming performance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel,’ and more), print, and radio to raise awareness about the project.  Shortly after winning hearts over at ‘The View’ (May 10), Cici skipped across town to ‘The Angie Martinez Show’ to host an interactive listening session with a group of lucky fans.

Dishing on the album’s creative process, how collaborations came to be, confirming even more music videos for  select album cuts are in the works, and even addressing longstanding rumors that she’s set to collaborate with mentor Janet Jackson, look inside to see the C-Squad turn up to some of ‘Beauty Marks’ gems and hear the lengthy interview that accompanied the session:

Legendary “shock jock” Howard Stern may be celebrating news his first book in 20 years, ‘Howard Stern Comes Again,’ is already #1 on Amazon two months ahead of its official release (May 14), but that didn’t stop him from clapping back at Wendy Williams after the daytime talk show hostess insinuated Hollywood has changed him.

On the March 13th episode of ‘The Wendy Williams Show,’ Wendy – after praising Stern for his influence on her career – also stated:

“You started like me, being of the people. But at some point you sat behind the microphone for too long and now you are the people. It hurts,” she added.

The suggestion that he’s a ‘Hollywood insider’ didn’t sit well with Stern.  Look inside to read his fiery clap back:

Kanye West elected Twitter as the primary means of promotion for latest album ‘Ye’ – and, at the time, his every waking thought.

Of said thoughts was his declaration of love for Donald Trump – the height of which saw him rock a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat.

Naturally, given the current racial tensions in the US, many of West’s Urban core lashed out at the rapper for betrayal. Not only of them, but of his earlier expressed stance about former US president George Bush not caring about Black people.

During their candid sit-down, Kimmel questioned Kanye on this in regards to Trump and his response was oh so telling.

‘Boo’d Up’ has blasted newcomer Ella Mai in the minds of the masses – on a global scale.

The Brit, who is the protégé of DJ Mustard, has seen the song not only serve as her breakout smash, but one of the year’s biggest hits.

A true testament to the notion of “slow and steady wins the race,” the cut featured on her 2017 EP ‘Ready’ and is now blowing organically more than a year later.

Currently #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, the track sits at #1 on the Hot R&B Songs tally (where it’s reigned for four weeks) and is also atop of Urban radio count.

Seizing on the momentum, the 23-year-old has mapped out a US tour which starts this August.

Head below to find out where and the when the rising star will be shining live this summer…

Tiffany Haddish is crowned ‘Comedy’s New Queen’ a-front of the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter.

And with understandable reason. Several, in fact.

Since her breakout success in last summer’s surprise smash ‘Girls Trip,’ the star – who, at 38, is redefining the rules surrounding the age of “making it” – has been on a hot streak like no other.

In one year alone, she’s nabbed blockbuster deals with Netflix and HBO, hosted SNL, starred in a major Super Bowl commercial, released a book, and landed a slew of new roles – with ‘Night School’ co-starring Kevin Hart being one of her most anticipated.

And if that made for a compelling read, her interview feature is even more magnetic.

Doing away with the stuffy political correctness which pervades Hollywood, Haddish is refreshingly candid about…well…everything.

During the chat, she opens up about the business drawbacks of blowing up suddenly, love interests having ulterior motives, and rumored conflicts with ‘The Last OG’ co-star Tracy Morgan.

Perhaps most titillating is her long-awaited reveal of #WhoBitBeyonce. 

What are you waiting for? Pics and excerpts await after the jump…
