Toni Braxton certainly wasn’t a stranger in Moscow when she touched down in the city hours ago.

There, accompanied by some of her sisters, the ‘Spanish Guitar‘ chanteuse delivered an electric show at the Crocus City Hall for some of the fans who helped her cross reported global record sales of 200 million units.

Catch more of the ‘Breathe Again‘ vocal wonder after the jump…

When one makes as much as impact in the world as Beyonce has finding fans in “unique” positions is inevitable.

However, we doubt that even she could have predicted where the latest compliment sent her way would originate from today.

Why?

Beyonce and Jay Z paid playful homage to their status as music’s first couple this Halloween.

The Carters – baby Blue Ivy included – rocked African ensembles inspired by Eddie Murphy’s 1988 movie ‘Coming To America.’

Though a woman of few words these days, Queen Bey stayed true to her tradition of sharing the moment online.

And while there’s no word on where exactly she and her family celebrated, what is known is that more pics from the party await below…

Since the onset of Keyshia Cole‘s career, comparisons to Mary J. Blige have been a constant. Indeed, so rife has the chatter been that it birthed rumors of a rift between the R&B staples.

The climate wasn’t altogether helped when Cole said the following about “her idol” in a 2012 interview:

“I’m very happy to have been compared to such a wonderful woman, a strong woman. The only thing that I would’ve changed, that I am now here to do for those that come after me, is to lend a helping hand. I feel that even if it’s not me saying I’m gonna record with you, I’m gonna work with you or let’s go hang out or anything like that; we don’t have to be friends, but at the end of the day, being able to give advice or help somebody that is coming under you is an amazing gift to be able to have. I wish I would have had that from Mary, but I’m not Mary, I’m a different person and if K. Michelle ever call me or anybody for that matter, for advice, I would absolutely give it to them.”

Nonetheless, proving that there’s no bad blood, Keyshia and the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul caught up backstage at a concert last night.

Clearly touched by the encounter (said to be their first), Cole captioned the snap:

I have so much ❤️ and respect for her!!! #SheWasInChillMode#AfterTheshowPic #LoveHer#YouGuysHaveNoIdeaWhatThisMeantToMe

Awesome.

NEW YORK - AUGUST 28:  50 Cent (L) and Vivica A. Fox during the pre-show interviews  on the MTV News Platform at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall on August 28, 2003 in New York City.  (Photo by Mark Mainz/Getty Images)

As reported here, ‘Set It Off’ star Vivica A. Fox set off a firestorm of controversy last night when she took to ‘Watch What Happens Live…With Andy Cohen’ and implied former boyfriend, rapper 50 Cent, was gay.  Referring to the former hit music star as a “booty snatcher,” the actress set social media alight with her comments – including retaliations from the rapper himself.

But, if you thought his responses last night were enough, you thought wrong.  50 continued his rants early into this morning and, as a result, earned a few clapbacks from Fox.  See it all below:

While 2015 has brought with it explosive comebacks for the likes of Adele and Janet Jackson, it also saw a quiet, yet well-received return for Jazmine Sullivan.

The singer’s ‘Reality Show’ album was showered with praise from critics and fans alike, but didn’t impact the charts as perhaps hoped. A point particularly notable given the five year gap between its release and that of its predecessor – 2010’s ‘Love Me Back.’ 

Still, hoping to build on the buzz of the LP and its accompanying tour, Sullivan is gearing up to return to the studio for what she’s billed as an “intimate” LP.

Mariah Carey isn’t just flexing her vocal chords these days, she’s beefing up her acting resume.

It’s been almost 15 years since the disaster / cult classic that was ‘Glitter’ and, in the time since, Mimi has largely made right the wrongs of the ill-advised flick with critically praised roles in ‘Wise Girls,”Precious,’ and ‘The Butler.’

This year, the songbird signed on to produce and star in a Holiday film and it appears like it doesn’t stop there.

According to new reports, the 45-year-old will play a role in a new Batman movie. Just not the one you might be thinking.

Sashay, Chante.

Christina Aguilera dripped all sorts of diva last night at the 3rd Annual Breakthrough Prize Award Ceremony in California.

The vocal force attended the event with fiance Matt Rutler, with whom she has a new daughter with. As widely reported, the couple welcomed baby Summer Rain last August.

Xtina, who clearly had an agenda to flash and flaunt her fierce curves, is gearing up for a return to the spotlight.

She’s set to resume her role as a coach on The Voice next Spring and is hard at work on her first album in three years.

Pending then, peep more pics of the ‘Your Body’ belter below…
