Despite seeing the first week sales prediction of her latest album, ‘Lust for Life,’ adjusted downward from 100k to 85k, ‘High by the Beach’ singer Lana Del Rey is still hitting the promo trail with hopes of turning the tide.

Acting as ‘Complex’ magazine’s latest cover girl, Del Rey dishes on hot topics like ‘cultural appropriation,’ guest stars on ‘Life,’ and so much more.  It’s accompanying feature shoot sees the singer/songwriter pay homage to Hollywood’s golden era with most mostly black-and-white snaps.

28 weeks.

That’s exactly how long it took for Ed Sheeran‘s massive hit, ‘Shape of You,’ to find itself outside of the top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Debuting at #1 on the tally (as we reported here) in the Sprig, ‘Shape’ held the perch for a non-consecutive 12 weeks before finally being ousted by the likes of Kendrick Lamar‘s ‘Humble,’ Bruno Mars’ ‘That’s What I Like,’ and later held at bay by the blockbuster hit, ‘Despacito.’

Yet, despite being charged by the year’s biggest numbers, ‘Shape’ still managed to maintain footing in the top 5 thanks to some handsome radio play, digital sales, and, of course, streaming.  In fact, already setting a record for spending its first consecutive 22 weeks in the chart’s topmost quintet of positions, just five weeks later the tune made Sheeran the longest running solo act in the top 5 of Billboard’s Hot 100.  The only other act in history to accomplish a similar feat were The Chainsmokers (who also enjoyed 27 consecutive weeks in the top 5 with their hit ‘Closer’).

In this, ‘Shape’s 28th week on charts, the tune slips to #6.  Curious to see who joins him in the top 25?  Look below:

Since we haven’t seen the “I was hacked” tweet yet from Safaree Samuels official Twitter account, it’s safe to say it was indeed he who lent a heartfelt message to Grammy-nominated rapstress Nicki Minaj, his ex of 12 years.  Taking to the platform to express his baby fever, the rapper/producer stated:

The message set Twitter alight and incited a polarizing argument amongst his and her followers.  While some rooted for the duo to rekindle their longtime romance, others weren’t exactly supportive.

As of time reported, Minaj has not responded.

Kesha journeys down memory lane in the video for ‘Learn To Let Go’ – a new song she co-wrote with her mother Pebe Sebert.

The anthemic track is lifted from her long-awaited third album ‘Rainbow,’ which arrives via RCA on August 11th.

Its release comes on the heels of the visuals for ‘Praying’ and ‘Woman.’

Speaking about the song’s inspiration, Kesha says:

“This song, and the ideas behind it, were a big part of [Rainbow]. This idea of learning to let the negative things go has been extremely helpful for me over the last few years, and I hope it resonates with others.”

The scent of controversy continues to choke the life of R. Kelly‘s legacy.

Weeks after the families of several young women claimed that they had been brainwashed into becoming members of a strange sex cult, the singer has learned that a story he thought he had buried has made its way to the light of day…and it stinks.

Court documents obtained by The Daily Mail revealed that the entertainer threw himself into legal trouble when a party he threw at a recording studio was shut down when his guests stained its hallways with urine and faeces.

In an eviction summons filed by the plaintiff, real estate company C/R Adlake Limited Partnership they accused the tenant (Kelly) of allowing his guests to trash the spot and causing havoc when the sister of one of his alleged sexual abuse victims burst in to rescue her.

Tenants’ invitees have soiled one of the hallways in the building with vomit, urine, and what is believed to be human faeces.

‘The Mail’ adds:

A police report for simple battery was filed at the location after the sister of one of R Kelly’s alleged captives was assaulted during a scuffle with the singer and his entourage when she went to the recording studio to try to rescue her teenage sibling.

The incident occurred on August 26, 2015, according to a police report seen by DailyMail.com. No arrests were made.

He is yet to respond.

Branden Miller, the brains behind the crass and cantankerous comedy gem Joanne the Scammer, has revealed that he has found a friend in Netflix.

During a recent interview the actor revealed that after watching the character blossom online for over decade (he got his start as one of YouTube‘s first influencers) he has now caught the support of the streaming platform.

Via ‘Unicorn’:

Miller told Janet Mock on the podcast that “someone from Netflix” was currently writing the show. The show’s exact format is still somewhat hazy, with Miller admitting, “I can’t even speak that far ahead because I don’t even know.”

Miller added: “If you know Joanne on Instagram, there are little snippets of her life” in which Joanne appears “right in the middle of a scam. So I’m capturing that. Instagram gives you one minute of that, the show will give you the whole storyline.”

If true, his union with the platform would see Joanne’s tale stand alongside the projects ‘Black Mirror‘, ‘Orange is the New Black‘ , ‘13th‘, ‘House of Cards‘ and ‘Luke Cage’ which all have soared since being introduced to the critical mass as exclusives.

Answering questions from the lower class.
