The singer continues her make-up-free comeback campaign a-front of Time Out Magazine New York. 

It’s the latest in a long line of promotional spots lined up for the star’s return to the spotlight.

Earlier this summer it appeared as though all the media moments were leading up to an album release. However, when lead single ‘In Common’ failed to ignite the charts, the volume on album chatter was turned down. All the way down.

Until now.

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.

Millions LOL’ed, while others billed it ill-advised. For MJB, though, she has no time for the jabs or drama.

Her emphatic response awaits below…

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.”

‘The New Edition Story,’ airing on BET on January 24, 25, and 26, will come as a six-hour/three night event set to give long-awaited insight into the story of one of the genre’s most electrifying groups.  Following their journey from the streets of Boston to the stages of Hollywood and beyond, the group – best known for its hits ‘Candy Girl,’ ‘If It Isn’t Love,’ ‘Cool It Now,’ and ‘Mr. Telephone Man,’ will see their tale brought to life via portrayals by ‘Empire’ star Bryshere Y. Gray (Bivins), singer Luke James (Gill), Elijah Kelly (Bell), and many more.

Lady Gaga‘s newest single, ‘Perfect Illusion,’ has been troubled since its very unveiling.

After the song itself fielded attack for its repetitiveness, dramatic pronunciation, and  80’s inspiration (some even alleging the tune was a ripoff of Madonna‘s ‘Papa Don’t Preach’), repetitiveness, its accompanying music video was slammed for its simplicity and…erm…lack of activity.

Be that as it may, if the singer’s faithful fans – affectionately known as Little Monsters – were worried before they should probably avoid taking a look at this week’s refreshed Billboard Hot 100.  For, after the tune made a troubling debut at #15 last week, this week saw it dive right out of the top 40! Ouch!
