British vocal outfit MiC Lowry have been building buzz on a global stage thanks to their infallible harmonies and vocal prowess.

Their steady ascend has seen them amass a huge fanbase, sign with Universal Music, and perform on stages across the globe – including The Wendy Williams Show.

That Grape Juice welcomed the Liverpool bred group to The Splash and they showed up and showed out.

Watch above as they perform new single ‘Whiskey Kisses’ (available to buy and stream now) and a cover of Usher‘s ‘U Remind Me.’

‘Scandal’ is back!

Following a longer than planned hiatus (to accommodate Kerry Washington‘s pregnancy), the show picks up right where it left off – with fireworks!

Forming a central part of the revived TGIT (Thank God It’s Thursday) block of programming, the political drama promises (and is already delivering) many an explosive twist and turn for its sixth season. Election, anyone?!

Today marks the global release of Mary J. Blige‘s thirteenth studio album ‘Strength Of A Woman’. 

The set, which features contributions from the likes of Missy Elliott, Jazmine Sullivan, Kanye West, and DJ Khaled, arrives at a dramatic time for the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul.

Indeed, as widely reported, Blige is in the midst of a mucky divorce from former manager Kendu Isaacs.

During the promotional rounds for the LP, she’s cited the creation of the project as being therapeutic for her after years of secretly suffering in her marriage.

And one listen of the LP highlights the hurt but also the triumph of realising one’s worth.

Pop songstress Katy Perry‘s politically charged last single, ‘Chained to the Rhythm,’ may not have been linked to the type of ‘out of the box’ success she’s used to enjoying, but its follow-up – ‘Bon Appetit‘ featuring chart-topping rap group Migos – may be on track to sing another tune (commercially).

Being served alongside a healthy helping of controversy (click here to read more about that), listen to it inside and tell us if Ms. Perry will land a hit akin to the other big smashes that line her discography:

Katy Perry‘s beloved fanbase, affectionately called #KatyCats, have been clawing at the singer’s wig since she announced her new single, ‘Bon Appetit’ (due April 28), will feature chart-topping rappers Migos (not Ariana Grande as previous rumors suggested).

The Atlantan trio, best known for their #1 smash, ‘Bad & Boujee,’ found themselves on the bad side of some of their fans after they slammed singer/rapper iLoveMakonnen for coming out of the closet (click here to read more on that).  While the incident is nearly 3 months old, fans of the ‘Chained to the Rhythm’ singer have not forgotten – a feat evidenced by the host of fiery tweets aimed at her before the tune’s unveiling.

John Legend has been blazing the promo trail to ensure his latest single, ‘Surefire,’ is a surefire hit.

Earlier this week the Grammy-winning crooner was spotted at ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ where he rendered a smoking performance of of the tune, dished on its parent album (‘Darkness & Light’), and even gave dibs on landing a spot in TIME magazine’s latest “100 Most Influential People” issue.

Today, while in NY for the TIME 100 gala, Legend made a pit stop by ‘The Breakfast Club’ studio to not only plug his latest album and its supporting tour (which is set to kick off in early May), but also dish on his 1-year-old daughter, Luna, and share his thoughts on the latest political and social issues dominating headlines (i.e. Bill O’Reilly, Trump, etc.).

Kim Kardashian
is peddling the promo trail for the latest season of ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians.’

Her latest stop was the ‘Ellen’ show, where she opened up in earnest about her burglary ordeal in Paris last year.

As widely reported, Mrs Kanye West was was the target of an elaborate jewelry heist; one that quite literally threatened her life.

The aftermath of the drama is playing out on the current season of ‘The Kardashians’ (no comment), hence her discussing the matter with Ellen.

Hear the reality staple, who tears up, explain what went down in her own words…

While we’re not here for the brand of banal that the entire Kardashian clan represent, we definitely empathise when it comes to this.

Safety is no joke.

SZA unleashes a ‘Love Galore’ on the latest taste of debut album ‘Ctrl.’

The eclectic songbird has recruited Travis Scott for the scintillating number, which was produced by thankgod4cody and Carter Lang.

Both hypnotic and arresting, ‘Galore’ marks the first release of SZA’s under longtime label Top Dog Entertainment (TDE) and Sony’s RCA. The entities will jointly launch the songbird’s long-awaited LP this summer.

Watch fatal attraction play out below…

The song is a bodacious bop and the visual makes for an effective companion piece.

Fans of the late entertainer Whitney Houston have objurgated a new documentary which seeks claims she lived a double life as a bisexual woman.

Named ‘Whitney: Can I Be Me?‘, the documentary seeks to scratch beyond what its creators believe was the star’s surface and unearth what they say was her biggest secret…with help from her former employees.

The stylist Ellin Lavar claims in it…

I don’t think she was gay, I think she was bisexual.

Her allegation comes armed with a remark shared by a member of Houston’s security team Kevin Ammons.

He added:

Robyn (her best friend) and Whitney were like twins.

They were inseparable. They had a bond and Bobby Brown could never remove Robyn. He wanted to be the man in the relationship.

Fans have called for a boycott of the project as the star, who was married to the performer Bobby Brown, identified as a heterosexual woman.

Nick Cannon co-hosted the Wendy Williams Show today and got ‘wild n out’ for the entire hour.

Never one to hold his tongue, the media mogul made jaws drop when asked whether he’d date Nicki Minaj – longtime foe of his ex wife Mariah Carey.

In still being close friends with Mimi, it’s little surprise that he’s clearly Team Mariah. But it’s the way in which he answered the Hot Seat question put to him that has the Barbz buzzing.

See what we mean….

Nick may be a comic, but that was a shade grenade if we’ve ever seen one. Yikes!
