Those who thought turning 64-years-old (August 16) would slow Madonna down have another thing coming.

Controversial as ever, the Queen of Pop popped, locked, and dropped inside the pages ‘Paper’ magazine in a racy shoot – lensed by famed photographer Ricardo Gomes – that saw her tongue kissing models, licking their nipples, and so much more.

Interviewed by fellow music royal Nile Rodgers (Chic leader and mastermind behind Madge’s Diamond-selling, 1984 studio album ‘Like a Virgin’), the diva dished on her new greatest hits compilation project ‘Finally Enough Love’ and strolled down memory lane with Nile to discuss their musical history and more.

When not reminscing over yesteryear, the two broached the topic of having a musical reunion – nearly 40 years after launching ‘Virgin’ to the top of the charts.

Despite having spent most of his years in the public eye, Tevin Campbell has lived a very private life.

When not cranking out renditions of beloved classics like ‘Round and Round’ and ‘Can We Talk,’ the now-45-year-old R&B veteran hasn’t talked much about his personal happenings – until now.

Months after getting fans chatting in response to his “official coming out” on Twitter, the ‘I’m Ready’ singer is finally ready to expound on his journey of shielding his sexuality from music lovers.

Taking to PEOPLE, Campbell waxed honest about being a closeted teen star in the 90’s and even praised today’s crop of LGBTQ+ movers and shakers for their daringness to live openly.

Adele is back and graces not one but two editions of ELLE Magazine. 

The British belter covers the US’ September issue and the UK’s October installment.

Arriving in grand style, the feature spreads come on the heels of the superstar announcing the rescheduled dates of her headline-grabbing Las Vegas residency, Weekends with Adele.

As widely reported, the concert special hit an iceberg when it was sensationally postponed just one day before its intended launch in January.

A mixed blend of disappointment, scrutiny, and intense critique whipped up ample uncertainty – not just around the residency but the singer’s ’30’ album campaign more broadly.

Now, with the drama seemingly in the rearview, Adele is opening up about weathering the storm and looking forward – both professionally and personally. The latter includes her relationship with mega sports agent Rich Paul – with who she says she’s “obsessed” and madly in love.

Taylor Swift may have thought she shook off a copyright infringement claim against her 2014 megahit ‘Shake It Off’ when the case – brought on by the writers of 3LW‘s 2001 tune ‘Playas Gon Play’ – was dismissed in 2018, but to her surprise an appeals court revived the legal dispute and is deferring to a jury with the first hearing set for September 19.

In a motion to dismiss (as we reported here), Swift not only alleged she was the sole writer of ‘Shake’ but that there was no way she could have stolen content from 3LW as she had never heard of them or their song before the lawsuit.

The ongoing drama has sent Swift’s fans, affectionately called #Swifties, into an uproar with many of them taking their frustration out on the three members of the defunct R&B trio.

Kiely Williams, the group’s resident rapper, has grown weary of the online attacks and took to Instagram Friday (August 12) to explain why she nor former bandmates, Naturi Naughton and Adrienne Bailon, have anything to do with the copyright kerfuffle.

Beyonce‘s ‘Renaissance’ song ‘Church Girl’ may proclaim ‘no one can judge me but me,’ but Bishop Patrick Wooden, Sr., President and CEO of the Upper Room COGIC, begs to differ.

Not long after Dr. Dorinda Clark-Cole – one-fourth of the legendary Clark Sisters (whose 1981 song ‘Center of Thy Will’ is sampled in ‘Girl’) – took to the pulpit to tell religious critics to ‘leave Beyonce alone’ over the tune’s content, Wooden is making headlines for calling for public rebuke and denunciation of its creators and contributors.
