It’s ca-ching for Camila Cabello.

The former Fifth Harmony star has embarked on a solo career and seems to have the support of many a major brand out of the gate.

Fresh from fronting a campaign for GUESS Jeans, the 20-year-old has landed another endorsement deal – this time with Skechers.

Mariah Carey has historically been hailed for her voice. However, recent years have seen said status unravel somewhat after a series of shocking faux pas onstage.

One of the more notable instances came at the start of 2017 during Mimi’s performance at New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.

As widely reported, she effectively threw the towel in and opted not to sing while her pre-recored “backing track” blared from the speakers. Viewers were stunned.

It appears Mariah was too and, in looking to deflect blame, she fired her creative director Anthony Burrell – replacing him with her boyfriend Bryan Tanaka.

In the time since, Burrell (who is renown for his work with Beyonce) has busied himself with other projects. Hence, hasn’t spoken out about the matter.

Until now.

Not holding back, he’s waxing honest about his views on what’s become of Mariah’s live show since his departure.

Taylor Swift is a woman of many talents.

Now, a rumour has surfaced that she has been doing the same for her on/off pal Lorde.

Is it true?

Azealia Banks‘ tales of love, life and aquatic escapades have seen her become quite the force on a streaming front since she hit the scene in 2011.

However, even we here at TGJ HQ would be lying if we said we’d been keeping track of how well the rapper was performing on Spotify, the platform which boasts of having 60 million paying subscribers.

Here’s a breakdown of her stats.

• Her debut album ‘Broke with Expensive Taste‘ has been streamed 114 million times (114,611,979 to be exact) since it impacted the platform in 2014.
• Around 700,000 subscribers spin her material on the platform per month.
• Her breakout cut ‘212′ has been spun 74 million times.

It seems, that despite the heat she faces for her off-stage “performances”, there is still sizeable interest in Azealia’s discography.

Now, just a day after one of those accusers stepped forward at a press conference to shed some light on her alleged time with the singer, another party is coming forward claiming Ush failed to disclose his [alleged] herpes status to them too:  his insurance company:
