Jennifer Lopez has found a new rival and potential foe in Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Why?

Well, after Lopez announced plans to portray the drug dealer Griselda Blanco in a HBO TV movie, Catherine has revealed that she intends to release exactly the same movie…playing exactly the same role.

Zeta’s version is named ‘Cocaine Godmother’ and will premiere in 2018 via Lifetime while Lopez’ story is yet to nab a release date.

Unfamiliar with Blanco’s story?

Living in Queens with her three sons, Blanco quickly became embroiled with local drug runners and masterminded the use of beautiful women, the elderly and children as drug mules and created false-bottom suitcases to smuggle cocaine from Colombia.

In the wake of her newfound wealth, her sons abandoned school and entered the family business instead. She then moved to Miami to expand her empire. However, the move also led to the death of her second husband, giving her the nickname, The Black Widow. Her willingness to use violence against her competition pushed her rivals to make repeated unsuccessful attempts to kill her.

Who do you think will soar higher in the role?

In 2015, Taylor Swift assembled a group of Pop culture’s brightest stars to take aim at Katy Perry by way of her brilliant ‘Bad Blood’ visual.

In 2017, no longer willing to keep mum on the matter, Katy responded with the cut ‘Swish Swish’ with help from her sister-in-song Nicki Minaj.

Today, Swift’s pal Ruby Rose has taken to social media to diss the cut.

“Purposeful poop” to “bomb a petit” to a sloppy mess of writing over the top of Funkagenda..stop trying to make ‘Wit..I mean “fetch” happen.

I just think with everything going on in the world to go from rebranding as political activist only to ditch it and go low.. is.. a bummer.

@jamescochranee Wasn’t around sweetheart but my bully experiences came from one of the people involved in that song and it’s obviously not T.

Man she’s harsh.

Well, that didn’t take long.

Camila Cabello kicked off her solo campaign this morning with the premiere of her debut solo single ‘Crying In The Club’ (which she co-penned with Sia).

A mere matter of hours later and the former Fifth Harmony star shakes things up with the video for the radio-ready track.

Directed by Emil Nava, the visual awaits below. Check it out…

Slick, stylized, and sassy.

All that was missing was a sickening dance break.

Nonetheless, a decent first swing of the bat.

Cabello’s debut album ‘The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving’ lands later this year.

Tidbit: Did anyone else notice some of the not-so-subtle symbolism? The bathroom scene (in relation to her recently shared note about being depressed in a bathroom floor? Breaking of the box? Interesting.

Your thoughts?

Following days of speculation, Katy Perry has confirmed her collaboration with Nicki Minaj in the most emphatic way possible – the premiere of new song ‘Swish Swish.’

Lifted from the Pop tart’s new album ‘Witness’ (due June 9th), the track is aimed at the clubs and boasts 90s dance influences.

Did the duo deliver dynamite? What are you waiting for? Listen below and let us know..

Errrr….this is not cute.

These late vogueing anthems Katy has been serving up of late are becoming quite alarming.

Nicki’s verse, while commendable, packs a lot (including a subtle Remy Ma jab) but not enough to save an altogether forgettable song about…nothing.

Katy, this era is officially worrying.

Liam Payne is the latest One Direction member to make a beeline for solo success.

Cue his debut solo single ‘Strip That Down.’

Featuring assistance from the omnipresent Quavo (from Migos), the track is a slickly produced slice of Urban-Pop that aims to place Payne in the thick of what’s hot.

Pulling no punches lyrically, the song sees the new father sing lines such as “I used to be in 1D now I’m free” and “when I step in club all girls on me.”

Clearly, someone’s feeling fleeky.

Take a listen below…

An obvious ear-worm, this has an obvious (and borderline contrived) radio agenda. And we’re not convinced the lyrics are totally “him” either.

But the song just about manages to avoid cringe territory holistically.

Not bad, yet not great either.

Its incoming video could determine whether this swims to success or sinks prematurely.

Your thoughts?

It is finally time for Camila Cabello.

The former Fifth Harmony star has unleashed her debut solo single ‘Crying In The Club.’

A rousing anthem, the track is the first to be issued from the 20-year-old’s new album ‘The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving’ (due later this year).

Does Cabello have what it takes to prove her solo gravitas?

Check out’Crying’ below and let us know!

Stay tuned for the video in one hour!

Bobby Brown has employed the services of a medium to reconnect with his ex-wife Whitney Houston.

Still mourning the death of the late star and their daughter Bobbi Kristina, Brown called on the services of a man named Tyler Henry who claims that he has the power to connect the living with the dead.

What happened when he claimed to have Whitney on his main line?

Do you believe in mediums?

Last week fans of the ‘X Factor UK‘ discovered that Mariah Carey could be expected to join the show to replace Nicole Scherzinger as a judge.

This week, these fans find themselves faced with the possibility that the ladies may be forced to work together after it emerged that Scherzinger was staying put.

A source close to production told ‘The Sun’:

Nicole is so highly thought off by X Factor that there was always the intention to tie her down for another year.

Once she heard other names being mentioned, she was keen to get her deal locked down and it’s now there to sign. Mariah’s name is still in the frame and, given it’s X Factor, it’s safer not to rule anything out.

How do you think the ladies will fare if forced to judge alongside each other?

After a few false starts, Iggy Azalea has returned with new single ‘Switch.’

Brazilian star Anitta joins the Australian rapper on the cut, which is the third offering to be released from sophomore album ‘Digital Distortion.’

It’s been an uphill battle for Ms. I-GG-Y this go round, with preceding cuts ‘Team’ and ‘Mo Bounce’ struggling to make noise upon impact.

Is it third time lucky for Azalea?

Listen below and let us know……

Yet another banger. A solid one at that.

Still, it’s become apparent Iggy will need all the kings horses and all the kings men to muster up another hit.

Lucky for her, the video for ‘Switch’ is reportedly due tomorrow. Could a viral take-off be the key to her success? Stay tuned.

Usher‘s fortune has reached astronomical new heights this week.

For, thanks to dollars, pounds and pesos pulled in by his hit-kissed discography, the part he played in introducing Justin Bieber to the world, and his success within several realms in entertainment, the trendsetting star’s net worth now stands tall at the $180 million mark.

By definition, one’s net worth is  “the value of all the non-financial and financial assets owned by an institutional unit or sector minus the value of all its outstanding liabilities.”

Put simply? Usher has $180 million to his name.

A large portion of this fortune was generated by the 65 million records the 38-year-old performer has sold worldwide as well as the cash he collects as part owner of the Cleveland Cavailiers.

How much he and a group of well heeled investors paid to pick up their shares in the team in 2005?

$375 million.

Why do you think Usher is such a high-earner?

Weigh in below!

Katy Perry appears to have shock and awe on the menu for her fourth studio album ‘Witness.’

Case in point the set’s newly unwrapped cover. Check it out above.

With an eye in her mouth, it would seem the singer plans to expand on topics beyond her usual fun theatrics. A plausible explanation given the political sway of lead single ‘Chained To The Rhythm.’

*********

To keep it 100%, this looks like a hot mess. Even though it’s clear to see what she was going for.

Thus far, the era feels awkward, lacking direction and oddly executed.

Will the music be its savior. The answer arrives when ‘Witness’ does on June 9th.

Armed robbers stormed into one of A$AP Rocky‘s home, held a gun to the head of his one of his relatives, and stole $1.5 million worth of jewellery from the Beverly Hills Grove property.

The rapper, who is romantically linked to Kendall Jenner, was not home at the time but did share a video of himself flaunting a large sum of money on social media hours before the horrendous attack.

Unfortunately, insult has been added to his injury thanks to remarks made by members of the social media community, some of whom were unimpressed by remarks he made about the peaceful ‘Black Lives Matters’ movement.
