Blue Ivy is officially a big sister!
That’s right, after days of speculation proud parents – Beyonce and Jay Z – have reportedly welcomed twins to the Carter family.
According to PEOPLE magazine:
“Bey and Jay are thrilled and have started sharing the news with their family and closest friends,” a source tells PEOPLE.
Multiple sources echoed the sentiment above to US Weekly. While we await official news from the Carters, we extend the heartiest of congratulations to the growing family!
Tamar Braxton has date with the stage at next week’s BET Awards. However, she warmed up last night with a headlining concert at Rhythm & Chews.
During her set the R&B belle belted current single ‘My Man.’
Lyrically stinging, the track re-tells the split between Braxton’s mom and dad – a story which is presently a hot topic on WE tv‘s ‘Braxton Family Values.’
The release is also proving a favorite with fans, who showered the singer with love during her live rendition.
Watch her soar after the jump…
She did that.
Rihanna has a questionable track-record when it comes to slaying stages, but she’s proven a consistent winner in the style stakes.
Case in point her look last night at Louis Vuitton’s ‘Young Fashion Designer’ gala in France.
Looking lush, the ‘Wild Thoughts’ wailer turned heads as she admired the efforts of the talented teens and up ‘n comers whose creations were on display.

In a dramatic turn of events, Bill Cosby‘s sexual assault trial has just ended – without a verdict.
The jury in the case were unable to reach a decision, as such a mistrial was declared.
Per reports, the jury deliberated for more than 5 days and on Friday told the judge they were deadlocked after 53 hours of deliberations. Thereafter, the judge pressured the jury to reach a decision by not allowing them to wrap up until 9:30 PM.
Ironically, the jury deliberated for more than 52 hours — which was longer than the entire trial.
Cosby, who has been accused of drugging and raping over 50 women, denies any wrongdoing.
Prosectors have promised that a re-trial will take place.
But until then, the actor is free …for now.
Migos’ ‘Bad & Boujee’ continues to slip a pretty penny into the group’ pockets.
Penned by Quavious Marshal , Kiari Cephus, Symere Woods, Leland Wayne and Robert Mandell, the song peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 but did little to support sales of its parent project ‘Culture’ which opened with an abysmal 44,000 units.
However, by way of the group’s penmanship, they’re set to be set for life as the cut generates around $30,000 per week in the United States alone.
Via this week’s ‘Song Revenue Chart’:
The cut picked up $37,864 within the last seven days thanks to sales and streams generated within the same period of time following its October 28th release date.
American Pop culture, as we all know, permeates attitudes, ideas and beliefs in nations near and far from U.S. borders.
One of these is Nigeria, home to the thriving Nollywood film industry. In the 90s and early 00s, the industry’s film pulled from hit soaps akin to ‘Sunset Beach‘ and ‘Day of our Lives’ to present its audiences with tales of love, lies, deceit and magic realism.
In the mid 00s, it pulled from one of Pop’s biggest “rivalries” to create one of its highest-selling releases to date.
Meet ‘Beyonce vs Rihanna‘ below…
The movie is loosely based on the singers’ supposed rivalry and sees the Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari portray “Beyonce”.
Quite interestingly, she would go on to star in several movies as characters loosely based on the Beyonce story.

Actor Keith Powers felt the stint of social media last night when he came under fire over controversial comments made in an interview.
Speaking to Hollywood Unlocked about speculation surrounding his private life, the ‘New Edition Story’ star said the most outlandish rumor he had heard was that he was bisexual.
He then proceeded to say that he doesn’t believe men can be bisexual:

Needless to say, the roasting commenced.
Remorseful, the 24-year-old took to Twitter to apologize. He said:
Hey, I am sorry for how my answer came off in my ‘Hollywood Unlocked’ interview. I plan to explain with a video tomorrow.
— Keith Powers (@KeithTPowers) June 17, 2017
I made a mistake. I have nothing but love and respect for everyone. I’ve been sitting here reading comments and seeing where people…

Well-worded apology. But is it too little or too late or should he be cut some slack?
After a whirlwind launch campaign, the first week numbers are finally in for Katy Perry‘s latest album ‘Witness.’
Naturally, given the enormity of her star, eyes would always have been peeled to see her tally.
Yet, with the roller-coaster that preceded its release (see: under-performing singles, controversies, and memes), heightened interest surrounds the amount of support she received at retail.
Well, wonder no more because the answer awaits below…
Per Hits Daily Double‘s final count, ‘Witness’ will top the Billboard 200. It sold the following to do so…
187,338 – Sales Plus Streaming
(169,522 – Pure Sales)
**************
There are a few ways of dissecting and digesting the digits.
On the one hand, they are not only impressive by today’s scarily low sales standards but they are commendable given the LP’s lack of preceding hit. Logic had many (us included) feeling that folk wouldn’t part with $10.99 for an album if they wouldn’t even spend $1.29 on her single. Or, worse still, even bother streaming it for free.
Yet, Perry has clearly defied the odds on that front.
Still, for an act of her caliber, she should – in theory – be doing numbers double, triple what she managed to deliver.
Indeed, in the four years since preceding album ‘Prism’ (which opened with 266k), she’s been armored with the momentum of huge hits such as ‘Roar’ and seismic exposure platforms like the Super Bowl. Put simply, she’s become bigger, yet her numbers are smaller.
Something isn’t adding up. Why?
Mark those calendars because Jay Z is coming!
The Hip-Hop titan’s affiliation with the mysterious ‘4:44’ campaign has been confirmed.
Much like the initial billboards, new posters are popping up across various US cities and now have the addition of Jay ‘s name and an arrival date – June 30th. As expected, the set will premiere on his streaming service TIDAL – which phone giant Sprint recently bought into.
Peep pics via HipHopDX:
Though details are scarce, it’s widely believed that ‘4:44’ is (or is tied to) Jigga’s long-awaited new album.
Add to that the slew of festival dates he has lined up over the summer and it’s clear newsness in on the way from Mr Carter.
We’re ready, are you?
Check out the ‘4:44’ teaser – starring Mahershala Ali, Lupita Nyong’o, and Danny Glover – below…

Janet Jackson made a rare public appearance today in London.
The diva, who is gearing to return to touring in the Fall, was photographed leaving a divorce hearing.
As widely reported, the 51-year-old has separated from husband of six years Wissam Al Mana. The news, which shocked many, came just months after the couple welcomed their first child – a son named Eissa.
In a message to fans last month, Jackson confirmed the split and said that the situation was “in God’s hands” and would be addressed in “court.”
Sources close to the singer claim Jackson will remain stationed in London, where she and billionaire Al Mana had based themselves.
During said time, the superstar will continue with what confidants have revealed is an intense snapback regime ahead of the September 7th opening of ‘State Of The World Tour’; a regime which has seen her lose 50 pounds already.
See pics from this afternoon’s hearing, which was also attended by her brother Randy, below…

How Braxton feels about it all now?
