The Weeknd is coming thick and fast.

It’s been little under two days since the crooner unwrapped the video for ‘Starboy’ – the title track from his upcoming album.

Now, today he’s unleashed ‘False Alarm.’

Frantic, dramatic, and daringly dark, the track can be heard below…

Her father, Muhammad Ali, may have been celebrated for his tireless activism efforts against racial inequality, but Laila Ali prefers to take the silent approach – or at least that’s what was implied during her recent sit down with ‘Huffington Post’ Live.

On the promotional train to increase awareness about her forthcoming stint on the Arnold Schwarzenegger-hosted ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ (January 2017), the boxing champ was hit with questions about footballer Colin Kaepernick and her thoughts on the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement.

“Yes, black lives matter. Yes, white lives matter, asian lives matter. All lives matter,” she said. “And that’s kind of what my focus is. But it’s hard because, you know, you’ve got sponsors and you’ve got this and you’ve got that. And you don’t want to step on anybody’s toes. And you’re trying to be politically correct, but at the same time trying to uplift your people.” – Ali, 2016

The response above set off a chain reaction of criticism.  See some of it below:

John Legend is not here for Donald Trump.

The singer made that abundantly clear during his insightful sit-down on The Breakfast Club this morning.

Chopping it up with Charlamagne, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee, the ‘All Of Me’ belter offered a damning take on the controversial presidential candidate. Conversely, he showered praise aplenty on Hillary Clinton.

Beyond the political sphere, the 37-year-old spilled on new music (which he says is coming before the year’s end), life as a father, whether he’ll stay signed to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music, his growing TV portfolio, and much more.

If you thought Jennifer Hudson‘s absence from news headlines was indication she wasn’t busy, you couldn’t be more mistaken.

As she preps for her leading role in NBC’s ‘Hairspray Live!’ (December 7th) and hitting the judges’ bench for ‘The Voice UK,’ the Grammy-winning diva is also reportedly hard at work preparing for her role in Adam Sandler’s Netflix project ‘Sandy Wexler.’  But, fans of Hudson’s claim to fame – music – needn’t worry they’ll be neglected much longer.

After her 2014 “self-titled” project, ‘JHud,’ was met with mixed critical review (and poor commercial reception), the powerhouse singer is finally ready for redemption via her yet-titled fourth LP.  Taking to Billboard, Hudson recently delivered an update on the project and her other dealings.

Jennifer Lopez could easily be the hardest working woman in Hollywood.

As if being hard at work on her 10th album isn’t taking enough of her time, the singer/actress/mogul stars as the lead in NBC’s hit crime drama ‘Shades of Blue’ and also sees her name line the production credits of a number of television shows and specials.
