Pop minx Katy Perry has made her mark in the music arena, but today showed up and showed out at the Golden Globes 2016.
Joining a number of artists at the 73rd annual extravaganza (including Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga), Perry dazzled in playful pink as she arrived on the renown red carpet.
The appearance at the Ricky Gervais hosted special is one of few the ‘Dark Horse’ belter has made since rocking the Super Bowl last year. Could a new album be nigh? Watch this space.
Pending a definitive answer, more snaps await after the jump…
In what is becoming red carpet tradition, Jennifer Lopez arrived at the 73rd Annual Golden Globes looking hot tamale.
The singer/actress turned heads as she posed it up with choreographer beau Casper Smart at pre-commencement of the ceremony which takes place at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.

This week’s From The Vault selection comes courtesy of Cassie and her infamous 106 & Park performance of single ‘Me & U.’
Extracted from her eponymous first album, “Me & U’ was the model’s debut effort. Released in 2005, the Ryan Leslie production was a sleeper-hit peaking at #3 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Hip-Hop/R&B charts in the US in 2006. It hit #6 in the United Kingdom the following year.
Beyond club play, it was the track’s high-octane video (which drew comparisons to Janet Jackson’s ‘Pleasure Principle’) that catapulted the release to the upper echelon of the charts.
Yet, could Cassie replicate the fierceness on-stage?
Unfortunately for the Bad Boy belle, the answer was an emphatic, embarrassing, and resounding “NO!”
Taking to the stage of BET’s then-flagship show, the beauty gave the ugliest of performances – characterized and immortalized by stiff, lazy, and laxed stage presence and vocals that just did not show up. Many wondered if she was asleep.
From the attempted acapella intro to the look of “even I know this is a mess” plastered on her pretty face , it was all a dismal disaster and ultimately spelled the end of whatever quest she had to be taken seriously. Her music career, as the last decade has shown, has never quite recovered.
It’s just her luck that this has happened back in 2006, because in the current viral age (see: Instagram, Facebook, memes and the like) her career in the broader sense (modelling included) is unlikely to have recovered.
Still, by way of her relationship with Diddy and a number of fashion focussed campaigns, she remains one of the most desirable ladies in the spotlight. Not a bad consolation prize.
J. Cole‘s ‘Forest Hills Drive Homecoming’ TV special aired hours ago and saw him breathe new life into the album-which bares the same name- is was launched to support.
The special saw him follow in the footsteps of Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Justin Timberlake who have also rocked HBO with live concert specials and deliver live renditions of material that can be found on his critically acclaimed LP.
Fans who tune in to the special can expect to catch appearances made by some of the rapper’s peers. One, who goes by the name Drake, is reportedly hard at work on a music video being shot to support his latest collaboration with Cole’s Roc Nation pal Rihanna.
Exactly one month remains until ABC unleashes new episodes of its Shonda Rhimes block of programming.

Quenching the desert-like thirst of the #TGIF faithful, the network has poured out a titillating new teaser that has us all sorts of buzzed!
Kelly Rowland‘s career is shining bright thanks to a number of projects spanning the music and TV arena. It’s fitting, then, that the R&B diva looked luminous last night at ‘The Art of Elysium 9th Annual Heaven Gala.’
Ms. Kelly cut a gorgeous figure as she worked the red carpet, flashing her trademark smile.
Folk should gear up to see a lot more of the 34-year-old in the months ahead; her new BET talent-search ‘Chasing Destiny’ premieres in April and fresh music is nigh too.
Exciting times. For now, though, check out additional pics below…
Their talents levels may drastically differ, but there’s no denying both Beyonce and Rihanna are at the forefront of what it means to be Pop royalty.
It’s little wonder, then, that for all the comparisons there are also calls for a collaboration.
Interestingly, the pair have almost flawlessly managed to avoid mentioning the other. However, when a direct question comes a’calling, sometimes there’s no means of dodging.
Such was the case for Rih today.
The Bajan sensation, whose serially delayed new album ‘ANTI’ has been the subject of much debate, was asked by a LAX airport photographer whether folk can expect a collaboration with her admitted idol.
The music industry can bring uncertain tides, but for Alexandra Burke there’s no waiting around when there’s money to make.
