Today, in what marks another philanthropic effort by the star, Keri Hilson walked 10km in aid of AIDS research, in New York City.

Representing the ‘MTV Staying Alive Foundation‘, the chart topper joined the likes of Wendy Williams, Joe Jonas and Adrienne Bailon in Central park- all in a bid to raise awareness for the disease and the preventative methods that can be taken to avoid catching it.

Your thoughts?

Mind out of the gutter.

Unlike many of her chart contemporaries Nelly Furtado needn’t rely on stripping off to garner attention. Rather, a newly released performance of ‘Big Hoops (Bigger The Better)’ sees the eclectic singer do away with the “busy” nature of the track – serving up, instead, an acoustic version.

Find out how she fared below…

Congratulations are certainly in order for Rihanna.

Yes, while her talent may still be missing in action and a #1 US album still dodging her like the plague, the star has scored quite the feat today.

For today, the UK’s Official Charts Company released the Top 150 Biggest Selling Singles Of The 21st Century.

A list, which sees Rihanna named 9 times- beating the likes of Beyonce, Adele and Lady GaGa.

‘Vogue’ vixen Madonna strikes quite the pose on the latest issue of ‘Vanity Fair Italia’.  The magazine, which has seen Madge as its covergirl eight previous times, hit newsstands yesterday.  But, while the promoting her first fragrance ‘Truth Or Dare’, the singer’s latest effort ‘MDNA’ dropped down the charts faster than the ‘Holiday’ hitmaker has shed her clothes in years past, that hasn’t veered the 53-year-old pop queen from pressing forward promoting its accompanying tour.

A tour, mind you, which had already grossed over $200 million in pre-sales in mid-April.  Ka-ching!  Check out the trailer  and more pics from the Vanity Fair set below:

One year to the day after giving birth to ‘Dem Babies’, Mariah Carey presses on as the international performer that she is, performing to sold-out arenas around the world.

Stopping in Austria on Monday with family in tow, Carey hit the stage belting out her arsenal of #1 hits like ‘Heartbreaker’ and ‘We Belong Together’ to adoring fans. The diva even sang the Lamb-favorite ‘Underneath the Stars’ after several online requests.

Her upcoming tour has reportedly made over $250 million in advance tickets alone, but that hasn’t saved Madonna‘s new album ‘MDNA’ from embarrassment on the Billboard 200.

Yes, after earning the record for the highest second week sales drop in chart history, the LP has suffered yet another sales dip.

Rihanna‘s nasal neigh is often confined to ruining her own songs. However, on occasion, the model will lend her “talents” to bulldozing the hits of others. Case, point, Bob Marley‘s classic ‘Redemption Song’  – which has come to serve as one of her repeat offences.

Having already released a recorded version of the track three years ago, the 24 year old tried her hand at it live when performing at EIF’s ‘An Unforgettable Evening’ cancer benefit this week.

McMusic vendor Rihanna continues to drip-feed snaps from her ‘Where Have You Been’ video – the latest of which was unwrapped just moments ago.

For a clip we hear is supposedly “bananas”, the pics thus far have been underwhelming to say the least. We can only hope the video itself delivers, given how solid the song is. Although, given the model’s track-record, we’d be foolish to hold our breath. Time will tell, ay?
