Christina Milian is one candid chanteuse.

The ‘Dip It Low’ diva stopped by The Wendy Williams Show today to plug her stint in the revival of the ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show.’

However, in true Wendy form, the interview covered a whole host of topics – most of which centered on Milian’s private life.

And she definitely came ready to play.

The pair cackled while discussing her high-profile relationships with the likes of The-Dream, Lil Wayne, and Nick Cannon.  

Milian also offered interesting responses when quizzed on which of the trio she’d entertain getting back with.

Check out the fun-filled interview below…

A little rain need not stop the show.

Just ask Jennifer Hudson, who braved the British rain last night at the launch of ‘The Voice UK.’

As reported, the vocal powerhouse has been aptly tapped to serve as a coach on the show’s upcoming series.

The Oscar and Grammy winner will appear alongside will.i.am, Tom Jones, and Gavin Rossdale when the talent-search makes its debut on ITV1 in January (after a four year stint on the BBC).

Hudson’s involvement comes on the heels of her recent signing with Epic Records and spot in NBC’s  ‘Hairspray Live!’

Busy times!

Despite being one of VH1’s lowest-performing shows, ‘Basketball Wives LA‘ remains a staple in its Reality TV roster.

Alas, as if viewing figures pulled in by its latest season wasn’t enough to give Viacom good reason to give it the boot, a storyline that has emerged off-screen has seen it a new reach low.

Why?

Fans who were unable to catch Justin Timberlake‘s rocking ’20/20 Experience’ concert live were treated to a view from the comfort of their own homes when the show became available for streaming this past weekend on Netflix.

Showcasing a series of his hits including ‘My Love,’ ‘Cry Me a River,’ ‘Suit & Tie,’ and more, the Jonathan Demme-directed concert not only showed off the singer’s impressive catalog of hits, but also undoubtedly increased anticipation for the next chapter of his storied career.  And, if a recent sit down with BBC is anything to judge by, the wait won’t be long.

When quizzed on what fans can expect from the forthcoming project – the follow-up to 2013’s ’20/20 Experience’ – Timberlake name dropped some of the industry’s biggest producers expected to contribute to it and more:

Jazmine Sullivan may not be afraid of ‘Lions, Tigers, & Bears,’ but a recently deleted social media post does show there’s another brigade of beasts she may fear:  Twitter users.

The Grammy-nominated soulstress took to the net recently to share her condolences after learning a fellow musician – renown gospel artist Thomas ‘TC’ Clay – was mysteriously found dead in his hotel room over the weekend.  Yet, while her lengthy eulogy may have good intentions in retrospect, the singer/songwriter seems to have had a poor choice of words – a feat evidenced by the fiery responses of some of his and her followers (prompting her to later remove the post).

Are people overreacting or was Jazzy simply out of line?  Read below and tell us yourself:
