Say what folk will about Iggy Azalea, but there’s no denying that she certainly knows how to commit to a concept.

The rapper’s sophomore album is titled ‘Digital Distortion’ – a homage of sorts to the social media melee that has muddied the success she enjoyed with debut effort ‘The New Classic.’

Lead single ‘TEAM’ is due on March 18th and, to whet appetites, the ‘Fancy’ femcee has unleashed its official cover. Check it out above.

We’re all about the music and the music alone here at TGJ, yet it would be remiss of us not to state the obvious – she looks like a character from The Sims here.

Perhaps that was the intention? Who knows.

Anyway, are you buzzed for ‘TEAM’? Let us know below…

Your thoughts?

Having blazed the stage at this year’s Super Bowl, Bruno Mars will be aiming to ignite the charts once again with his third studio album.

The follow-up to 2012’s ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’ is easily one of music’s most anticipated efforts – especially after the global blockbuster that was Grammy Record of the Year ‘Uptown Funk.’

Now, it appears, the as yet untitled project has a release window.

Terrence J has come a long way since hosting ‘106 & Park.’

Following a lengthy stint at E!, the media personality is now pursuing a career in film in parallel to his presenting hustle.

The latest fruit of his labor is ‘The Perfect Match‘ – which he stars in and produced in partnership with Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit.

To plug the production, which hits US theaters on March 11th, Terrence stopped by The Wendy Williams Show this week.

In true ‘Wendy’ fashion, the interview skewed juicy with TJ quizzed on saucy love scenes with co-star Cassie, his rumored relationship with Brandy, and more.

Mariah Carey doesn’t hold notes as well these days, but she sure can grip to a grudge.

The songbird is still no fan of Jennifer Lopez – some 14 years after her infamous “I don’t know her” interview.

Last week saw the topic brought up again when J.Lo stopped by The Wendy Williams Show. For, when quizzed about Mimi’s remarks, stage blazer Lopez branded her new label-mate “forgetful.”

Naturally, the verbal ping-pong is being cheered on and when Carey was spotted leaving an event honoring friend and filmmaker Brett Ratner, she was asked about the situation.

Her hilarious response can be seen below…

Dr. Luke may be hard at wok to take down Kesha‘s claims that he abused her, but that hasn’t stopped him from finding the time to take Kelly Clarkson on.

The ‘American Idol’ recently stepped out to claim he was part of a blackmail crafted to force her to work with him after she won the series.

With changing times, comes changing attitudes.

However on the topic of masculinity, especially black masculinity, it appears there remains strong opinions that lean more towards the old skool.

Case in point the shot above of actor Michael B. Jordan and director Ryan Coogler.

The pair, who have collaborated on box office hits ‘Creed’ and ‘Fruitvale Station,’ came under fire from some Facebook users after the pic begun doing the rounds.

Taken at a Vanity Fair gala recently, the snap sees Jordan place his hand on Coogler’s head in a way some have chosen to interpret as homosexual. Ridiculous, right?!

We love us some Janet Jackson here at TGJ, but her ‘Unbreakable’ era hasn’t quite lived up to its title. At least not yet.

Indeed, the campaign has been quite the rollercoaster; a #1 album and an A/C chart-topping single launched the project. Yet, soon after postponements to its accompanying tour unhinged things and urgent surgery brought the entire US production to an abrupt halt.

And while said American dates have all been rescheduled (and even added to), it’s bad news for European fans.

The latest leg of the trek was supposed to kick off in Birmingham, England on March 30th and play to London and other major Euro cities thereafter.

However, in an announcement by Ticketmaster today, it has been confirmed that the dates have been cancelled.
