After riding to notoriety on the wave that was Kreayshawn‘s ‘Gucci Gucci‘in 2011, last year finally saw Iggy Azalea find her footing on Pop ground with ‘Work’, boasting a sound far more “convincing” than her earlier material.

Unfortunately, following it up with the UK Top Five number ‘Fancy’, the Rapper has seen her debut album “The New Classic” ripped to shreds by critics who have billed its material manufactured, disingenuous and chart thirsty.

Why the project now owns a Metacritic score of 60/100?

It’s back! Well, almost.

Netflix smash ‘Orange Is The New Black’ makes its much anticipated return to the V.O.D platform on June 6th.

With all episodes set to be available at once, buzz is already at fever-pitch. Today, saw anticipation cranked up another level courtesy of the official season two trailer.

We won’t spoil it, but let’s just say the inmates at Litchfield are once again set to bring the funny, the drama, and the air of “must-see” for their second outing.

The Real Housewives Of Atlanta wrapped its record-breaking sixth season last night. Yet, the Bravo hit isn’t done serving up bolts of drama just yet.

The freshly unleashed teaser for the two-part episode features a forrest of shade and a preview of “that” fight.

Given the “magical” sounds that emanate from Rihanna‘s mouth, it’s fitting that the model performed ‘The Monster’ tonight at the MTV Movie Awards 2014.

Thankfully for the millions watching, the star seems to have taken That Grape Juice‘s advice and locked down a vocal coach, as she actually sounded…decent….during her much hyped showing with Eminem tonight.

‘Scandal’ never looked so good!

The hit ABC drama, which is fronted by the award-winning actress Kerry Washington, has charged back onto the small screen for season three.

We’re already hooked, and by the looks of this episode 17 teaser, our Thursday night obsession with Olivia Pope and co will only grow stronger.

Despite its lead single ‘You’re Mine’ lacking the snap, crackle and pop Mariah singles usually serve in abundance, May 6th will bring with it the launch of its supporting album!

So, as many hope the general public will show it the support its four first singles were never afforded, her fans have some some way to support its predecessor in the last year, forcing it to a Gold tinted milestone.

With the iconic New York venue set to close eminently, Mother Monster ensured it’d do so with a bang.
