With just a month to go before it hits the streets, it seems our girl Ariana Grande is hot on the promo trail for her third album ‘Dangerous Woman.’
Taking to the Kevin Hart and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson-hosted MTV Movie Awards this weekend, the powerhouse delivered yet another rousing rendition of the set’s title track, currently sitting at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Drawing inspiration from movie icon Marilyn Monroe, her most recent showing be just the bid needed to return it to its former top 10 glory? Tuck in below and tell us:
While some may challenge the authenticity of her selectively Southern accent, one thing time has certainly proven is that when it comes to drama, Iggy Azalea does not mind keeping it real.
From her own beefs with fellow entertainers to coming to the aid of her fiance, Lakers’ Nick Young, during the time of his sexual harassment allegations, Azalea does not mince words when it comes to her opinion on these matters.
Likewise, when quizzed on the recent ‘cheating scandal’ Young was embroiled in, the ‘Fancy‘ rapstress didn’t exactly have a fancy response on the topic. Hear her response to the ‘bro code’ video that landed her boo in hot water:
Over the weekend at the Milwaukee Theatre in Milwaukee, WI, Tyler Perry’s iconic character gave a surprising performance on Beyonce’s stealth single “Formation” over the weekend during the Madea On the Run showing.
Following a difficult spell that played out quite publicly, Ciara is on quite the winning streak.
Professionally, she’s more omnipresent than ever and the positive vibrations have carried over into her personal life. Indeed, as widely reported, the Grammy winner recently hit announced her engagement to Seahawks football star Russell Wilson.
Celebrating her current season of success, the R&B star beams a-front of ESSENCE magazine’s May 2016 issue.
Apt, given that she’s a headliner at the hotly anticipated ESSENCEMusic Festival in June, the feature sees the stunner wax honest about her break-up with rapper Future as well as the love she has in her life now.

Jhene Aiko has thrown her support behind the politician Bernie Sanders as he makes a bid for the White House.
Doing so after Beyonce is said to have made sizeable donations to Hillary Clinton‘s campaign, Aiko made her way to Sanders’ “Community Conversation” event at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem to encourage her fans to support him on the latest chapter of his political journey.
Though the past few years have brought testing times for Robin Thicke – both personally and professionally, there’s no denying that he’s all sorts of gifted.
This week, From The Vault reacquaints with the crooner’s breakthrough single ‘Lost Without U.’
Serviced as the second single from the star’s 2006 sophomore set ‘The Evolution Of Robin Thicke’, the love-lorn song was written at a time when Robin felt insecure following the underperformance of his debut LP and its singles. Thankfully, history had not repeated itself with this single as it was a sleeper hit in the US peaking at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Hip Hop/R&B tally – which had not happened for a White artist since George Michael almost twenty years prior. The cut also reached the 11th spot of the UK Singles Charts.
Because he thought it could be his last video if the song tanked, Thicke chose to cast his then-wife Paula Patton as his love interest in the track’s Benny Boom lensed visual.
Needless to say, the chemistry displayed throughout the sensual video veered off the Richter scale. Bittersweet, somewhat, given the eventual fate for the much-loved (and “in love”) couple.
With ‘Blurred Lines’, Robin Thicke managed to gain a new audience. Yet, as many loyalists would agree, he (in the process) also lost that particular qualitative aura that was omnipresent on previous projects. We hope next go around he manages to mix and match the playful Pop elements of the ‘Lines’ album with some heartfelt and vulnerable moments akin to his first few bodies of work.
Sure, he’s already had a few missteps on that path, but songs like this remind us why we’ll willingly wait.
The live fun continues on Mariah Carey‘s ‘Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour’ this week!
Celebrated for being one of the entertainer’s more entertaining live shows the tour reached new heights recently when she delivered a moving performance of her 1997 number ‘My All’ in Finland.
Supported by well-placed pre-recorded vocals the singer soared through the number as she hopes to do just as well with the new album the tour was created to support.
