Epic’s Fifth Harmony are white hot on the March edition of ‘Seventeen‘ magazine!

The Urban Pop group have been hard at work with their favourite creatives eager to replicate the success of their smash hit single ‘Worth It’ and reach higher ground on an album and ticket sales front.

Add to this the rising threat of competition from ‘Black Magic‘ sisters Little Mix the ladies’ decision to team up with ‘Seventeen’ for a spot of album  promo will undoubtedly make complete sense to their fanbase, aptly named the Harmonizers.

The premiere of ‘American Crime Story: The People V O.J. Simpson’ is the reason Cuba Gooding Jnr, John Travolta and Angela Bassett made their way to the Westwood Village Theatre yesterday evening.

There, they rubbed shoulders with the likes of David Schwimmer to welcome the story to FX’s audience as the project, based on the controversial O.J. Simpson murder trial, also dominates storylines on Bravo’s ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.’

The internet is proving to be R. Kelly‘s worst nightmare.

Arguably the reason he is no longer able to remain undisturbed by legal woes once shrouded in mystery, the resource has given music lovers access to information that paints a very disturbing picture of the R&B singer.

Click here to find out how.

So, after he was confronted by claims of his alleged predatory behaviour towards underaged girls, the entertainer attempted to give fans deeper insight into his own life by opening up on his difficult childhood.

Alas, this did little to move fans of the late R&B singer Aaliyah who was 15 when he allegedly coerced her into a romantic relationship behind her parents’ back.

This week things got worse for the star.

Why?

A disturbing admission below…

As TGJ readers can tell, it’s apparently Rihanna day.

The diva, who set the net alight this morning with ‘Work’the Drake-assisted (official) new single from her long-awaited 8th album ‘Anti’ – has been on a consistent roll since the tune’s unveiling.  For, shortly after the song zoomed to the top spot of digital charts, Ri followed up with a full stream of its parent project via Tidal.

Now, with fans’ appetites in overdrive for what the era has to offer, she’s finally unlocked the 8th and final door of her Samsung sponsored ‘Anti’-diary.  See it below:

Justin Bieber cemented his monopoly on the Hot 100’s upper dectet this week with hits ‘Love Yourself’ and ‘Sorry.’

After dethroning longtime chart champion Adele just two weeks ago with the latter, the former has now pushed her from the #2 spot and entered him in history books as the youngest act to simultaneously occupy the #1 and #2 spots on the Hot 100.

Joining his previous Hot 100 accomplishments as “youngest act to debut at number 1”  and “youngest act to log 3 songs in the top 10 simultaneously,” it’s pretty safe to say Bieber is hotter than ever!  As if that’s not enough, industry analysts predict the Grammy-nominated beau will replace himself on the chart’s summit next week.

Until we find out if such is true, tuck in below to see this week’s chart check:

Rapper J. Cole may have just turned 30, but it looks like he’s the one handing out gifts.

Indeed, in celebration of his birthday, the ‘Lights Please’ performer has shed light on a new live project.  Recorded from a show at the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, N.C., the 13-track set is mostly comprised of live renditions of tunes found aboard his 2014 Grammy-nominated album ‘Forest Hills Drive.’

Before we find out if he’ll be walking away with any of the coveted trophies at this year’s ceremony, tuck in below to get a peek at his new live offering:

As the age old adage goes, how one starts is how it’ll be.

‘Mess’ best defines the kick-off of Rihanna‘s ‘ANTI’ campaign, hence it’s little surprise that on the cusp of its release the muckiness continues.

Moments ago we reported that the troubled LP was briefly made available to stream on TIDAL – thus pre-empting whatever surprise element was planned.

And though the music itself has since been pulled ahead of official roll-out, the official tracklist was made viewable to listeners.

Check it out below…

It’s the day few thought would ever arrive.

Rihanna‘s eighth studio album ‘ANTI’ had become so elusive that its actual existence begun to be called into question.

Muckied and marred by one of the most shockingly shambolic roll-outs in recent memory, one has to wonder if the model herself ever saw light at the end of the tunnel for the LP – which has spawned three singles and only half a hit.

Following today’s launch of new single ‘Work’ featuring Drake, the Bajan sensation’s latest body of work has arrived early…on TIDAL.
