Following the release of her new LP ‘Calling All Lovers‘ the R&B singer Tamar Braxton has used her platform on the hit show ‘The Real’ to interview the controversial political activist Rachel Dolezal.

Dolezal made headlines earlier this year when it emerged that-despite being Caucasian- she had been pretending to be of African-American descent, even going as far as to pay an African-American man to impersonate her father at social gatherings.

What she has to say to her critics today?

A must-see piece from their conversation below…

Reunited..but will it feel good?

Fans of the hit series ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ will have to wait until next Sunday to learn the answer to that question when the show returns for an eighth cycle.

Why this is set to be its grandest? The return of original ‘Wife’ Sheree Whitfield who- much to the dismay of the show’s fans- will serve as a “friend of the wives” and NeNe Leakes who announced she was leaving the series at the end of last season only to surprise its cast with a comeback last week.

Now peep the very first snap taken of former friends/ originals NeNe and Sheree snapped during a scene shot in Jamaica!

Jessie J unveiled a striking new look over the weekend.

Renown for her trademark black bob, the ‘Bang Bang’ belter is now sporting a bald ‘do – which she took to Instagram to debut.

It’s not the first time the singer has shaved her locs off; she famously cut her hair for charity in 2012 and rocked the look throughout the campaign for her UK-only sophomore album ‘Alive.’

Having severed ties with Disturbing London management recently and gearing up to record fresh material, it seems it’s all new everything for the talented performer.

Peep more pics of her daring ‘do below…

While many a Pop starlet have run away from any release date in the radius of Adele’s, Ariana Grande has run at it head-on with new single ‘Focus.’

Unleashed last week, the funky cut is the lead effort from the songbird’s third studio album ‘Moonlight.’

And though her tenacity to drop new music at this time is commendable, it’s clear the pint-sized powerhouse knows she’ll have to work in earnest to make waves with the track.

Wasting no time, she took front-stage center on the Honda Stage at the iHeartRadio Theater over the weekend to perform the song for the first time.

Find out how she fared below…
