The new Netflix original series ‘Luke Cage‘ is to thank/blame for the overloading of the platform’s system over the weekend.
Good news below…
As reported, the Britney Spears promo train pulled into the ‘Jonathan Ross Show’ this weekend.
There, the Pop princess took to the stage and performed current single ‘Make Me.’
Prior to that though, she sat down for what was easily one of her most relaxed interviews in years.
A series of factors have limited her press activity and accessibility since 2007. However, with a new album in ‘Glory’ to plug, it seems the sparks of her personality are back.
While chopping it up with funnyman Ross, the 34-year-old dished on music, dating, getting high accidentally, and more. She even played a series of games.
All the fun awaits after the jump…

Lady Gaga is heading to Houston. And not for a vacation, but to headline the 2017 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
The 30-year-old superstar was revealed this week as chosen performer to rock the house at the February 5th extravaganza. Confirmation which came after weeks of speculation.
With the cat out of the bag, Gaga stopped by FOX’s NFL On Sunday to dish on the gig – which she says she’s been planning in her head since age 4.

Solange is both stoked and soaked.
For, showers of praise have greeted her upon the release of her third studio album ‘A Seat At The Table.’
Unleashed this week, the project presently sits at #1 on US iTunes. It has also been hailed as “art” and a timely mirror to the current political and racial climate in the US.
The latter themes have seen some draw lines of comparison between the album and ‘Lemonade’ by her sister Beyonce.
Speaking in a new interview, Solo addressed this is in a tasteful and depthy way.
Her words await below…
Say what folk will about R. Kelly, there’s no denying that his talent is unparalleled in the industry. Whether crooning, preaching, or partying, the man has blessed us with some of the most resonating music of the past 20 years.
Today’s From The Vault finds him stepping and spreading positivity the world over. This week’s pick is 2003’s ‘Step In The Name Of Love.’
The final single from the crooner’s fifth studio album ‘Chocolate Factory,’ the song serves as a celebration of love and also pays homage to the Chicago-birthed dance style “stepping.”
Like the entirety of its parent album, the cut was produced by Kelly and was a chart hit for the maestro peaking at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100; it also claimed the top spot of the Billboard Hot Hip-Hop/R&B Singles – his last effort to do so to date.
************
The video for the single was directed by Little X and is set at an elaborate boat party. Mr Kelly can be seen serenading the ladies (as her has for length of his career) before everyone reports to the dance floor for the classic instructional stepping dance break. For the last sequence of the visual, the singer gets all Zorro on us and freestyles by himself on the deserted boat. Class act!

Kellz’ ability to go from turn-up to classy and back has always been fascinating to us. Indeed it’s mind-blowing how he can seamlessly service a “fresh out the kitchen” remix to ‘Ignition’ only to effortlessly evoke gentleman with his stepping shoes…all on the same album.
It might sound trivial to some, but not many R&B artists have managed to master that craft; the newcomers have opted to ban most things “heartfelt” and focus on getting lit, crunk and faded.
Yet, R. Kelly reminds the best of the bunch can (and perhaps should) do it all!
Your thoughts?
Is Beyonce and Jay Z‘s long-rumored joint album set for a December debut?
A mysterious promotional campaign has some folk screaming “yes” with excitement.
See what we mean today…
October is upon, which means so too is the release month of Lady Gaga‘s new album ‘Joanne.’
Set for release on the 21st, the set serves as the superstar’s fifth studio album and her first solo LP since 2013’s ‘ARTPOP.’
Markedly different from previous projects thematically, the album seems to skew rawer and more emotive.
Harnessing in on this, the singer has teamed up with Bud Light for an exciting music launch.

This weekend’s ‘SNL’ played host to…erm…musical guest The Weeknd.
Tapping the Torontoian crooner to kick off their 42nds season, the dapper divo unveiled the first televised showing of his new soon-to-be-hit ‘Starboy’ (the lead single from his new album of the same name).
Showing off his newly chopped hair (and fancy footwork along the way), tuck in below for this hot performance:

New music is always a smart way of diverting from the drama.
And that’s exactly the strategy Mary B. Blige is employing.
Putting the jabs she endured after her Hillary Clinton interview behind her, the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul has hit the road with Maxwell and isn’t just singing the hits; she’s premiering fresh material too.
Case in point ‘Thick Of It.’
The soon-to-be-divorced diva performed the song during her show in Newark, New Jersey last night. And it sounds like she’s venting about the events leading up to her much-publisized split from husband/manager Kendu Issacs.
