‘Queen Sugar’ has been enjoying sweet success on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN Network, so much so that the critically acclaimed drama has just been picked up for a third season.
The news was revealed as part of announcement about Winfrey’s broader deal with its creator Ava DuVernay.

With over 20 million units sold worldwide Justin Bieber’s chart record remains the envy of many a Pop prince.
Alas, a new report unleashed today suggests the same can’t be said for him as far as filling stadiums is concerned.
Sources at AEG Presents, the company behind his ‘Purpose World Tour‘ have revealed that execs aren’t bothered by Bieber’s decision to cancel its next set of dates because they weren’t selling.
Company sources say, overall, the 154-concert tour was very successful, but some of the final dates weren’t selling that well. After playing sold-out arena dates all over the country, Bieber might have been pushing his luck trying to return and play stadium shows without releasing a new album, sources say.
Just one of the 14 shows left on the tour was a sellout, and in nearly every market, 5,000 to 12,000 tickets per show were available on the secondary market, often priced below face value. That made it very difficult to sell any additional tickets, and in many markets there were large sections of the stadium that were unsold.
These talkative sources added:
If the sales were better, we might have pushed a little harder to try and convince him to finish the tour.
Fortunately, Bieber pocketed a sweet $68 million from dates he committed to playing this year and is unlikely to face any legal lashings from AEG as both parties agreed to the cancellation.
The demise of Jay-Z‘s friendship with Kanye West is sad to say the very least.
Fuelled by supposed backstabbing, allegedly shady business deals and talk of a feud between their wives, the brotherhood’s death is now the subject of a new documentary set to explore its origins.
Will it get to the bottom of the beef? Probably not. However, the piece (which is named ‘Public Enemies: Jay-Z vs Kanye’) will offer viewers insight into their respective journeys and how the lessons it taught them built and broke their bond.

‘Public Enemy’ airs July 31st on Channel 4.
“You work so hard over the years, only for people to walk over your star”
Those were the words from Usher, who is the latest name to saddle up for ‘Carpool Karaoke’ with James Corden. It goes without saying that everything from the timing to his utterances defines ironic.
The singer is presently embroiled in one of the biggest scandals of the year, after a settled lawsuit that saw him pay $1.1 million to a woman he allegedly infected with herpes went public. In the time since, another woman has come forth claiming the same and is seeking $40 million.
It’s safe to assume that Ush’s segment was taped some time ago, but it’s arrival has to be more than coincidental?
In any case, watch the 38-year-old belt hits such as ‘Burn’ and ‘Caught Up’ after the jump…
Tinashe‘s latest single may be named ‘Flame,’ but the singer is looking to extinguish the desires of an overexcited fan.

Drake is renown for using his body as a canvas of appreciation.
Indeed, over the years the Canadian Hip-Hop star has tattooed the likes of Aaliyah and Sade onto his frame.
The latest name to join Drizzy’s personal hall of fame is none other than Young Money comrade Lil Wayne.

It’s that time of year again.
The MTV Video Music Awards 2017 will be heating up screens on August 27th live from The Forum in Los Angeles.
Hailed as one of the most important days on the Pop music calendar, all eyes are on who is up for coveted Moonmen at the show’s 33rd instalment. Especially with MTV eliminating gendered categories.
Kendrick Lamar leads with 8 noms, with Katy Perry and The Weeknd following with five apiece. But what about the rest of the list?
Without further ado, the answer awaits below…
Despite Katy Perry‘s heartiest efforts, the world watched on as her ‘Witness’ album quickly tanked post arrival.
Unwrapped last month without the padding of a preceding hit, the set premiered with 180k Sales-Plus-Streaming units. A figure that is by no means “bad,” but one that would go on to prove front-loaded.
Because in the time since, total sales of the LP have been stuck hovering at the 230k+ mark.
Worst still, the project has vanished from the US iTunes 100 suggesting a bounce-back is unlikely.
Undeterred, Perry is readying the video for ‘Swish Swish’ – her collaboration with Nicki Minaj.
Some are scratching their heads given that the song was first heard way back in May. But, with ‘Witness’ not being a buffet of obvious singles, it appears Perry is shooting her shot with her most plausible option.
Taking to social media, she teased its video. Peep the pic and caption below…
Following Missy Elliott’s grand night at the festival this weekend Solange made her way to the ‘FYF Fest’ to deliver her third album ‘A Seat the Table’ live.

‘Table’ opened with pure sales of 46,000 units and watched ‘Hair’ peak at #91 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Fortunately, by way of the musician’s impeccable live show, the set has enjoyed colossal success on a touring tip.
Mariah Carey‘s fans are renown for rallying against the star’s detractors and their latest target is UK TV presenter Eamonn Holmes.
The veteran broadcaster is not one to hold his tongue and has been vocal about his dislike for the songbird and her diva antics over the years. It’s a stance he says is directly linked to experiences interviewing Mimi in the past.
His latest jab (which came during a segment discussing an unflattering viral clip) seems to be one too many for the singer’s “Lambs.”
For, they’ve launched a petition demanding an apology.
Full story below…
The 40-year-old ‘Moesha’ star Shar Jackson has been ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from her grandchild.
Why?
Shar‘s daughter has a child with the 27-year-old ‘Zoey 101′ star Chris Massey who dropped the infant to Shar’s residence back in May so that she could spend time with the actress and her family for a few weeks.
Chris now says that this is a decision he’ll always regret.
For, when he picked her up, he noticed a 4-inch razor cut across her forehead and was horrified when she revealed that Shar had given it to her!
When Chris confronted her about the assault the entertainer is said to have told him that she intended to do “whatever she wants” and this prompted the actor to seek support and protection for his child from the courts.
How? By seeking a temporary restraining order.
A judge granted Chris’ request, ordering Shar stay at least 50 yards away from the kid. Shar’s rep tells us, “Shar categorically denies all of this nonsense, as it it completely fabricated and from the mouth of a very troubled individual. Period.”
Shar’s fans will know that this wouldn’t be her first ride on controversy’s spinning wheel.
Back in 2004, she discovered that her lover Kevin Federline had been “dirty dancing” with fellow 90s teen queen Britney Spears.
The iconic boxer Mike Tyson has opened up on being sexually assaulted as a child in a new interview with ESPN E60.
Interviewed by his old friend Jeremy Schapp, Tyson revealed that he had been attacked by a man who snatched him off the street and forced him into a building when he was only seven-years-old.
Well I don’t like to talk about that, I like to keep that where it was in the past, but I was molested as a child.
He added:
It made me have to be tough for the world I lived in.
Keen to inspire those who have harmed in the same way, Tyson revealed that he didn’t step forward to tell anyone for years because he was ashamed. Now, he says he has come to terms with what happened to him and has learned that his attacker’s disgusting act doesn’t make him (Tyson) any less of a man…or person.
I learned that it doesn’t make you any less of a man because it happened.
