Fresh from rocking the 2017 BET Awards, Tamar Braxton is offering the masses more of her new album.

The outspoken reality star invited Wendy Williams to her home studio to listen to what she’s been cooking up in the studio for the follow-up to 2015’s ill-fated ‘Calling All Lovers.’

In the segment below, the 40-year-old plays the talk-show host the song ‘Rather Go Blind.’ The track which features in snippet form within the video for ‘My Man.’

Check it out below…

Make no mistake, Tamar sings her face off! A rarity in today’s climate, which almost seems to reward those who do the exact opposite.

That said, we’re still waiting on that ‘Love & War’ esque offering. Not so much sonically, but just something that is as instant, as resonant, and as mass appealing.

Khloe Kardashian stunned the world when she revealed that she lied when she claimed she was trying to conceive a child with her then-husband Lamar Odom.

I fake tried. I was married but I knew the circumstances weren’t the healthiest, so I just kept pretending I was doing it.

Today, Odom has revealed that news of her deception shocked and rocked him to his core during an interview with Wendy Williams.

What he had to say about the lie, his feelings towards it and his journey to inner-peace and sobriety?

His thoughts and feelings below…

She probably was right in saying that, but she could have told me.

Do you think Khloe was right to deceive Lamar?

Ciara says she wants to make the world dance with her new music and it appears as though it may be coming sooner rather than later.

The singer gave birth to daughter Sienna Wilson in April, but had been hard at work on the follow-up to 2015’s ‘Jackie’ in the months preceding.

Until now, little was known about the album – which is her first for new label Warner.

However, the following sprung up on the ASCAP website this week. It’s an entry for a brand new song named ‘The Only Na Na.’

Ci’s label-mate Benny Cassette is listed as the primary writer:

For those who’ve not heard of Benny, his material kinda knocks:

It’d be hot hearing Ci ride a beat like this.

We’re buzzed. Are you?

In recent years, Rihanna and Naomi Campbell were seemingly inseparable – sharing in a mutual love and appreciation for one another.

However, as reported earlier this year, the pair fell out.

The reason was a mystery, but supermodel Campbell hasn’t held back with her thoughts on RiRi.

Well, it seems like all has been revealed.

Yesterday, Ri was snapped getting all sort so close with a new bae in a Spanish villa.

It’s since been revealed that his name is Hassan Jameel – heir to Saudi Arabia’s billion dollar piece of the Toyota pie.

And based on the pics below, he had some sort of romantic involvement with Campbell dating back to July 2016:

In the time since the snaps above were taken, 46-year-old Naomi has modelled for Rih’s ‘FENTY x Puma’ line and even flew in to introduce her Video Vanguard performance at the VMAs.

Needless to say, this is every flavor of messy.

#NowPlaying: Dionne Warwick – ‘That’s What Friends Are For’

Before ‘Work’ somewhat saved the day, Rihanna‘s ‘ANTI’ era was the muckiest of messes.

Hoping for better fortunes on her next swing of the bat, RiRi is readying her 9th studio album.

More renown for performing her songs than she is for writing them, Ms. Fenty appears to be assembling talent to piece together her next batch of hopeful hits.

British newcomer RAYE is one of them.

Speaking to MTV UK, the singer-songwriter revealed she has been invited to pen music for the as yet untitled LP. She said:

“I literally, like ‘thank you god’, have been asked to be part of the Rihanna writing camp, which is in a month’s time and I’m so excited!

Obviously so many people are writing for her but to be asked and to be part of it and to be one step closer is a dream come true.”

With the coast somewhat “clear” following Katy’s tanking and Beyonce’s absence, it’ll be intriguing to see how Ri capitalizes…or doesn’t.

In any case, are you as excited as Raye is for new Rihanna music?

Is performing while “alive” the same as performing “live”?  Pop diva Britney Spears seems to think so as she recently took to press to clap back at ongoing rumors of playback.

As her tour of Asia continues to rake in the big bucks, the Grammy-winner sat down with TV interviewers in Tel Aviv to address murmurs of lip syncing.  Yes, the topic is nothing new for the songstress as it has plagued most of her nearly two-decade long career, but it appears she has had it with detractors slamming her with the accusation she’s branded as “simply untrue.”

Hear her sound off below:

 

Britney:

“…because it’s really funny – a lot of people think that I don’t sing live… Because I’m dancing so much I do have a little bit of playback, but there’s a mixture of my voice and the playback. It really pisses me off because I am busting my ass out there and singing at the same time and nobody ever really gives me credit for it.”

The quote above comes less than a month after the ‘Toxic’ hitmaker was caught up in a lip-syncing scandal during a recent stop in Japan.  See that by clicking here if you missed it.

In prior years, Rihanna put her romantic life on front-street. From Chris Brown to Matt Kemp to Drake, all shared for public consumption.

However, in recent times the model has remained mum on who she’s dating.

Her silence has clearly piqued the interest of photographers, who snapped the 29-year-old getting all sorts of close with an unnamed man in Spain.

The pair were inseparable and seemed to get their entire lives in a steamy pool moment.

See what we mean below…

Well, ok Ms. Fenty. Do you.

We just hope she frolics with better material for the follow-up to ‘ANTI’ whenever it’s due.

Since bursting on the scene as a solo artist, Sevyn Streeter has been on quite the journey. Both personally and professionally. And the R&B star is drawing on all for her debut album ‘Girl Disrupted.’

That Grape Juice caught up with the talented songstress at the 2017 BET Awards, where she opened up about the project.

Ever candid, Streeter revealed that some of her exes will no doubt be irked by the lyrical content on the LP, which features contributions from the The-Dream, Ty Dolla $ign, and more.

Watch her dish on her long-awaited debut, due on July 7th (her birthday), above.

As the early Grammy buzz for Kendrick Lamar‘s ‘DAMN’ album gains volume, the rapper has hatched the video for ‘ELEMENT.’

Directed by Jonas Lindstroem, the visual continues K.Dot’s cinematic output this cycle – a thread consistent in the clips for the likes of ‘DNA’ and  ‘HUMBLE.’

A fan-favorite, ‘ELEMENT’ sees the Hip-Hop titan assert his “top dawg” status in the most creative of ways.

Check it out below…

Another touchdown.

La La and Carmello Anthony made headlines earlier this year when word hit the curb the basketball star had stepped out on his wife and impregnated another woman.

Confirmation never came, but the biggest sign that drama was indeed going down surfaced when the pair ceased living together and La removed her wedding ring.

Currently starring in STARZ hit ‘Power,’ the actress stopped by the Wendy Williams Show to discuss its 4th season.

Ms. Wendy naturally quizzed with all the questions we all want answers to, including squarely asking whether La and Carmelo were divorcing.

Watch what went down below…

La handled the grilling well and radiated positivity during what must be a difficult time.

Rita Ora is hitting the live circuit in support of new single ‘Your Song.’

On the cusp of a top 10 placing in the UK, the Ed Sheeran production remains a strong performer on radio and is dominating digitally; the result of both being weekly growth.

Assisting its ascend, 26-year-old Ora took over The One Show to perform the summer-soaked song.

Backed by a full band, the West Londoner lit up the stage.

Catch her in action below…

Solid!

Rita’s long awaited album is due in the Fall, but in the meanwhile US viewers check her out as she hosts ABC’s new show ‘Boy Band.’
