It’s been ten years since fans of Fergie have had their hands on an official LP from the singer/songwriter and, for a while there, it was looking like it was going to be another ten years before they could boast ownership of ‘Double Dutchess’ – the official follow-up to her chart-topping debut solo project, ‘The Dutchess.’

Reportedly finished as early as March 2016, the album has had many false starts (see:  ‘LA Love,’ ‘Hungry,’ ‘M.I.L.F. $’).  Now, after the release of the tune ‘Life Goes On,’ Fergie Ferg took to Facebook to tell fans she’s finally ready to launch her second solo era.

“I am so ready for this album to come out you have no idea,” she said. “I’ve turned it in. It’s done and it’s coming out the beginning of the year. I’m sorry it’s taken so long, to those of you who have been waiting…”

While we wait to see if she’ll keep her word, tuck in below to hear the songstress herself sound off with details on the serially delayed opus:

One unlucky Barcelonian Belieber found out the hard way that the stage wasn’t the only place Justin Bieber delivered his hits.

Indeed, Biebz has obviously been taking a note or two from friend Floyd Mayweather as he punched a young man in the face after he (a presumed fan) tried to reach his hand into a moving car to touch the ‘Sorry’ singer.

Beyonce‘s alth-leisure line Ivy Park has been flying off shelves worldwide since its launch this Spring.

With the lucrative holiday season upon us, Queen Bey will no doubt be banking on big sales for the popular Topshop collaboration.

To aid that cause, she’s fronting the Fall/Winter campaign and has unleashed a series of new promotional snaps.

Not even the combined star power of Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj were enough to save the 44th annual ‘American Music Awards.’

Facing steep competition from Sunday night football, ‘NCIS:  Los Angeles,’ and even the Bruno Mars-featured ’60 Minutes,’ the AMAs may have hit a relative homerun for their host network, ABC, but in the grand scheme of things not so much.

Down from last year’s viewership of 11 million, find out how many tuned in to this year’s showing below:

In a study carried out in 2014, Mental Health America found that Black/African-American teenagers are more likely to attempt suicide than their White counterparts.

Today, as unconfirmed reports cite a breakdown as the reason behind Kanye West‘s hospitalisation in Los Angeles, members of the African-American community have urged his fans and naysayers to remove the stigma attached to mental illness with the community.

How?

By sharing their moving stories.

Her unique and sprawling concepts and spectacular charisma make Azealia Banks, in many ways, an industry treasure.

Unfortunately, as we all know, her inability (or refusal) to play the industry game has seen her fall short of reaching her full potential.

August Alsina‘s image has experienced a number of shape-shifts over the years and the latest sees him embrace the experimental even more.

The once “hard-edged” R&B singer rocked an altogether softer look when arriving at a post-AMAs party this week.

Sporting a majestic man-bun (which he paired with a red rose), the star’s ensemble was equally as eye-grabbing.

We’re all for self-expression and subverting the status quo, so good on him for not being bound by “rules” that see folk conform when they don’t need to.

Peep more of August’s sassy style after the jump…

Justine Skye‘s visual for ‘U Don’t Know’ is out!

Featuring the performers Machine Gun Kelly and Wiz Kid, the release made its way to her filmography as she continues to cut and craft songs for the debut album she hopes will turn her into 2017’s breakout act.

A big theme is relationships. I’m a Virgo, so I’m a hard lover, and that’s pretty much all I think about. This project made me focus on understanding people and being real with myself. I’m more conscious about the decisions that I make and I’m reevaluating relationships I had in the past and moving forward. It’s a brand-new start for Justine Skye. I’m a brand-new person.

The fallout from Kanye West‘s recent meltdown continues.

As reported earlier, the ‘Famous’ rapper cancelled the remaining 22-dates of his ‘Saint Pablo Tour’ following his on-stage monologue regarding his tumultuous friendship with Jay Z and Beyonce. This coming after his post-election endorsement of Donald Trump.

The permutation of lambasting The Carters and cutting his show short caused the 39-year-old to suffer the scorn of Twitter, where the #KanyeIsOverParty hashtag trended.

Unfortunately, the recent trail of events is followed with a report of Yeezy being hospitalized.
