“Unreal.”

That’s how birthday girl Ciara described her surprise celebration this weekend.

The stage blazer turned 30 on Sunday and footballer boyfriend Russell Wilson threw her a fun-filled bash on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles to mark the momentous occasion. Together, the pair – who have been together since early this year – repped as Catwoman and Batman.

They even arrived in a real-life “Batmobile.”

Attended by a host of major names such as Beyonce and Kelly Rowland, the party saw Ciara surrounded by her nearest and dearest – including her father and mother, Carlton and Jackie Harris (pictured with her above).

Overwhelmed, Ci gushed on Instagram and said to Wilson:

“You Make Me Smile..#TheBestSurpriseBirthdayPartyEver

Babe @DangeRussWilson Way 2 Pull This Off! I’m Still In Shock. You Are My Batman ❤️”

Sweet. Peep more pics below…

Pop princess Katy Perry may be taking a break from the promo trail for herself (recently wrapping up her ‘Prism’ world tour on October 18th in Costa Rica), but that didn’t stop her from hopping aboard the promo train of presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton at a recent stop in Des Moines, Iowa.

There, in addition to cranking out a few of her own top hits like ‘Roar,’ the diva roared out a spirited rendition of ‘America the Beautiful’ for the reported crowd of 4,000.

Did her performance win the crowd’s vote?  Watch below and tell us:

Talk about breaking the internet!

The beloved fan groups of Grammy winning stageblazers Ciara and Beyonce, the CSquad and Beyhive, are respectively still abuzz after photos of their faves surfaced from the former’s 30th birthday celebration. Wielding a fierce superhero theme, Ci donned the gear of Catwoman while Bey assumed the role of the ‘X-Men’s Storm and, as response to the photos have proven, the duo have caused their own storm of media attention as a result.

We’ve already shown you some of the hottest pics from the event here, but tuck in below to see gal pals Kelly Rowland, Lala Anthony, Serena Williams, and more get in on the action:

Her role in the hit Starz series ‘Power’ has turned her into one of the country’s more recognisable actresses.

However, the entertainment industry wasn’t always as welcoming to Ms. Naturi Naughton, formerly of the Urban Pop group 3LW who was reportedly booted from the trio by management shortly after their ascent to fame.

Alas, even after her alleged firing the singer would face many a closed door when the industry that had pushed the group to superstardom turned its back on her.

As R&B stage blazers go, few can touch Beyonce or Ciara.

Hence, it was great to see camaraderie among the ladies last night at Ci’s 30th birthday bash.

Hosted by the ‘I Bet’ singer and footballer beau Russell Wilson, the Halloween themed shindig was attended by many a notable name – who fully embraced the fancy dress M-O.

Jeff Dye shared a snap of himself with Queen Bey, who served all sorts of sass as Storm from X-Men.

Five days until ‘Focus.’

Ariana Grande‘s seemingly never-ending countdown to her new single has almost reached its peak.

October 30th marks the arrival of the ‘Moonlight’ lead release and it appears the soaring songbird will hatch the track’s accompanying video simultaneously.

Teased in earnest over the last month (much to the delight and agitation of fans), the latest arrives in the form of a sneak peek preview of the song’s visual.

They thought it was behind them.

However, thanks to footage obtained by ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ the ‘Blurred Lines’ maestros that are Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams will be forced to relive the legal fiasco that marred the song’s success.

Fans of the pair will remember that the entertainers were flung into legal waters after they were accused of stealing material from the singer Marvin Gaye by the late singer’s family.

Click here to find out who came out on top.

What these fans don’t know however is what happened when Williams was forced to explain how he built the number for Thicke who later admitted he had very little to do with its conception.

When feigning artistry goes wrong.

Rihanna has spent all of 2015 trying to gain traction for her eighth studio album…to no avail.

A stream of mismatched singles have been released, yet public interest has all but dried up after her musical confusion became glaringly apparent to the masses.

Earlier this month, a rescue boat of sorts arrived when the LP’s title (‘ANTi’) and cover were finally decided on. However, one thing that remains is a mystery is its release date.

And, according to a new report, there’s still no definitive roll-out plan.
