As anyone familiar with Tamar Braxton‘s brand will attest, the term outspoken defines her.

Hence, it was little surprise that when stopping by the Angie Martinez Show on Power 105.1 to promote new single ‘If I Don’t Have You’ the youngest of the Braxton clan served up a number of notable soundbites.

Indeed, beyond confirming that new album ‘Calling All Lovers’ has been been bumped from its July release to September 11th, the 38-year-old made an interesting observation about Rihanna.

Just in time for a storyline! Meet Porsha Williams‘ new boo!

With production beginning this month of the 8th season of reality tv hit, ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’, the ladies are scrambling to secure their peaches. With the focus rumored to be shifting back on the ladies home dynamics and love lives, and less on the robot reads that dominated the 7th season, it seems those who were not willing to divulge their private lives are moreso willing than ever.

Porsha Williams was demoted for lack of personal storyline last season has heated up Instagram with pictures of her new beau, NFL player Duke Williams of the Buffalo Bills! Porsha has weathered many a relationship rumor since finding out of her divorce from Kordell Stewart on Twitter, even heavily accused of dating a married wealthy African.

Duke does not enter without controversy after allegedly begging Instagram “model” (whatever that is), Mia Khalifa, to fly out to Vegas and be with him. It appears that one model’s loss is another model’s gain as Porsha gleefully snatched up Duke, and maybe a peach in the process as well.

After a slew of under-performing singles, it’s surprising that an iota of hype still exists for Rihanna‘s serially delayed eighth album.

Nonetheless, producers involved with the project are attempting to resuscitate interest with morsels of new material.

The latest is ‘Body Party’ creator Mike Will Made It.

Taking to Twitter moments ago, he shared a preview of a song set to feature on LP – which, at this point, may as well be titled ‘Snippets & Setbacks.’

In any case, check it out below… (more…)

Shameful and shambolic might be two words one might use to describe Lifetime’s ‘Aaliyah: Princess of R&B’ starring the actress Alexandra Shipp.

Fortunately, it’s unlikely they’ll be employed to describe Marvel’s ‘X Men Apocalypse’ which will see Shipp play the African superhero Storm.

The movie doesn’t hit theatres until May 27th 2016 but has unlocked the first snap of Shipp as the character.

Fantasia is a married woman!

The ‘Lose To Win’ songstress is living the lyrics of her hit single after tying the knot with longtime lover Kendall Taylor this weekend.

Radiating all sorts of happiness, the American Idol champion (who has two children from previous relationships) expressed gratitude to her supporters saying:

“How do we thank each and everyone who made Our Day one of the most unique and memorable days we will ever share. To those who texted, called, or prayed during this week and up until today… Know that we love you and we know that if we had more capacity you would have been there, but you were still there in spirit… Now… We are The Taylor’s…. Here we come!”

Congrats to Ms. Barrino Mr and Mrs Taylor!

Here’s hoping her new found happiness will inspire some much needed new music.

Playing at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, the show has attracted a host of notable names – with the most recent being Katy Perry.

The Pop dominator appeared to love the show and even took a snap with Mimi following the curtain call (pic above) . However, this came after an awkward initial encounter when Ms. Carey didn’t recognize Perry in the audience during the final segment of the show.

Despite her ‘Unbreakable World Tour’ in just one month, Janet Jackson is ensuring it’s not all work and no play.

The iconic diva stepped out in style with the trek’s newly recruited dancers (or as she calls them, ‘The Kidz’) to enjoy rapper J.Cole‘s Los Angeles concert.

Sharing the snap on social media, Ms. Jackson added the caption:

Girls night out  @JColeNC concert! #ColeWorld

Could she be a fan or could there be a collaboration in the works? One thing is for sure, much of this Janet comeback campaign does feel very calculated and well-thought-out. As such, a JJ and J.Cole is not a far fetched concept at all.
