ELLE celebrate brown beauty a-front of their February 2016 issue.

Empire’s Golden Globe winner Taraji P. Henson ravishes in red on her cover, while Emmy winner Viola Davis cuts a striking figure on hers.

The duo are two of five major names tapped to feature in the latest edition of the publication, which salutes the successes of females in the television arena.

Indeed, many cultural commentators agree we’re in a new golden age of television. As such, it’s awesome to see these seasoned talents getting the recognition deserved.

In a climate dominated by Adele, Chris Brown‘s recent release ‘Royalty’ was hailed a triumph after debuting at #3 on the Billboard 200 with sales of 164,000.

Considering this was a feat achieved with no hit single in sight, the project’s firm holding within the upper region of the US Top 20 is as impressive as it is surprising.  

Suffice to say, it’s clear that the Virginia native has a loyal fanbase, who are willing, ready, and able to make their presence felt at retail. 

However, a glance at the broader scope of Brown’s commercial standing, highlights why it’s arguably in his best interest to not revel in the momentary momentum but to instead remould his approach. 

Follow us as we lay out why after the jump…

At 45 and fly, Mariah Carey is cutting the finest of figures these days.

The premium diva was snapped looking like a bag of money and good living last night at the 6th Biennial UNICEF Ball at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel.

Sponsored by Louis Vuitton, the gala saw Mimi headline with an array of her biggest hits including ‘We Belong Together,’ ‘Always Be My Baby,’ and the especially apt ‘Hero.’

We’re sure you’d agree that Carey’s glam squad were one of the the evening’s top MVPs, because whoever they are had her looking sensationally snatched!

Weeks separate the world from the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, set to air live on CBS on February 15th 2016.

On the night the biggest and brightest stars will align to celebrate the ceremony alongside the committee made up of the music industry’s movers and shakers who will decide which of them are to go home with gongs…and which are to leave the show empty handed.

Now, as the award ceremony’s next creeps towards us TGJ is eager to find out what you think about the question below.

Mariah Carey is making major moves. Indeed, forget being an elusive chanteuse, Mimi is cementing herself as the 360 money-maker.

The latter, especially, is proving particularly lucrative for the diva.

Ciara knows how to glide across a stage, but the R&B chanteuse also knows how to command her voice.

The ‘I Bet’ belter highlighted this last night at the NCAA College Football Championship Match where she once again took on the US National Anthem.

Over the years, ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ has been stretched, rolled, curled, and remixed by the likes of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, who in the process have created a new standard of what a rendition of the song “should” sound like.

With that, how did Super Ci fare? Find out below…
