2017 was an odd year for Katy Perry.

She earned a top 5 with comeback jam ‘Chained To The Rhythm’ and snagged a $25 Million check for her judging services on the upcoming reboot of ‘American Idol.’

However, it proved to be the most trying year of her music career.

Singles came and went with little impact, housing album ‘Witness’ tanked, and she somehow seemed to lose the ever elusive “cool” that so many clamour for. In many ways, she became the definitive meme of what’s not popping in the pop cultural sphere.

This reality isn’t one that went unnoticed by the head of her label, Capitol Records exec Steve Barnett.

Justin Timberlake is drumming up buzz for a series of major moments next month.

As widely the reported, the talented superstar will headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show on February 4th – and two days before will release new album ‘Man Of The Woods.’

Given his storied history with the Super Bowl platform, there are many who believe the show will bring with it a reunion with Janet Jackson following their unfortunately unforgettable display in 2004.

How Justin feels about it today? Find out below…

In 2017, the once-revered Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was publicly outed as a sexual predator by the mainstream media.

However, details of Weinstein’s alleged indiscretions did not come as a surprise to readers of the website ‘Crazy Days and Nights.’

Why? It broke the new years before.

This week, after the beloved actress Jackee Harry confirmed that a ‘Sister Sister’ reboot is in the works, fans of the series who read ‘Nights’ have learned that Paramount may not support the show if Marques Houston is involved with it.

So since everyone is talking about the sexual abuse in Hollywood now y’all still think Raz B was lying about Chris Stokes and Marques Houston?

Camila Cabello is on quite the winning streak.

The early success ‘Havana’ saw her emerge as a viable solo act. Now, with debut album ‘Camila,’ it looks as though she’s on the cusp of cementing said status.

Currently battling it out for the #1 spot, its combined sales and streams are giving ‘Havana’ a big enough boost to make it a strong contender for the top spot on next week’s Billboard Hot 100. 

To help her chances, the 20-year-old took over the Ellen show to deliver a dynamite performance.

Watch Camila sparkle in the ambitious production (yes, production) below…

In the 8 months since taking to ‘The Real’ to discuss their desire for a ‘Sister Sister’ reboot, Tia & Tamera Mowry have made it no secret they’ve been “in talks” to make that dream a reality.

Now, if Jackee Harry – another of the show’s stars – is to be believed, the prayers of show’s faithful fans have finally been answered.  Taking to ‘The Steve Harvey Show,’ the comedienne/actress confirmed the series relaunch is definitely happening.

Hear it from her lips:

Quantasia Sharpton made headlines last year when she stepped forward accusing Usher of exposing them to herpes during sexual intercourse.

She was one of many individuals (women and men) who alleged the same, but she’s far and away the most notable. For, she held a press conference detailing a supposed rendezvous with the singer…at a Holiday Inn.

The social media response was colossal and much of it was negative towards Sharpton.

Even celebs have weighed in, including Usher’s longtime collaborator Jermaine Durpi – who addressed the matter on The Breakfast Club yesterday, referring to Sharpton as “the fat girl.”

Naturally, this has infuriated her and she’s hitting back. Her words below…

While the smoke and mirrors of “brand Katy Perry” seem in tact (see:  new Covergirl commercial, ‘American Idol’ gig, and more), the reality is…it’s not.

Her latest album, ‘Witness,’ has not only garnered her lowest sales to date, but also seen the songstress deliver the most consecutive non-top 40 charting singles of her career.  Though its lead single, ‘Chained to the Rhythm’ (peak #4), appeared promising initially, its follow-ups – ‘Bon Appetit’ (#59 peak) & ‘Swish Swish’ (#46 peak) – spelled of everything but promise.  The album’s succeeding Sia-penned release, ‘Hey Hey Hey’ (released last month), has yet to crack the Hot 100 despite a big budget video in its support.

Undoubtedly hoping to awaken interest in the tune and boost video streams, Perry took to her official VEVO to show off the behind the scenes action and making of the video.  See it inside:

Seal has seen his name in headlines more in the last two weeks than he probably has in the last two years.  And, while fans of the revered singer/songwriter would probably prefer the reasons be more for his music than mayhem, alas controversy has made him a hot topic.

First, he experienced a backlash for slamming Oprah Winfrey after her impassioned Golden Globes speech (click here if you missed it) saw her express staunch support for the #MeToo movement.  Claiming the media mogul was aware of Harvey Weinstein‘s alleged sexual assaults before they became public knowledge, the response from her supporters was so fiery he later apologized

Now, just a week after calling out Weinstein and encouraging women who have suffered from sexual assault to stand up against their assailants, an actress is coming forward with allegations the ‘Kiss From a Rose’ singer forced his lips on her.
