As if being hard at work on her 10th album isn’t taking enough of her time, the singer/actress/mogul stars as the lead in NBC’s hit crime drama ‘Shades of Blue’ and also sees her name line the production credits of a number of television shows and specials.

But, after tearfully waving goodbye to her judging duties on the series finale of ‘American Idol’ earlier this year, reports now have it she’s wasted no time accepting her next judging gig.  Details inside:

Jesse Williams has urged his fans to cast their vote in the 2016 Presidential Election after learning that a number of them planned to stay home on voting day.

This is not about the White House. This is about your house. If you’re not registered to vote, you can’t sit on a jury. You can’t choose your mayor. You can’t choose your city council. You can’t even choose your district attorney. You can’t decide which measures will help your family and community, and which will put them at risk.

While it’s been over a year since the tragic death of pop icon Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina, the investigation into what caused it was given yet another lifeline just last week when her husband, Nick Gordon, was found “legally responsible” for her untimely passing.

Gordon, who has long proclaimed his innocence, was hit with a $50 million “wrongful death lawsuit” last year from her conservators and was ruled “legally responsible” by the judge after he missed another court appearance.

Now, as the hoop-la around the judgment continues, Bobbi K’s father – singer Bobby Brown – took to Bishop T.D. Jakes’ talk show to discuss his feelings on the rulings.  In the sit-down interview, the ‘Don’t Be Cruel’ crooner’s quoted:

“I don’t know the specifics of what happened, but as the judge has said, he is legally responsible. I know some things that happened to my daughter, but it’s up to the D.A. now to do his job.”

Find out what else he said after the jump:
