TopFive_Combo_BRD_Front

With a career as seasoned as Chris Rock‘s, each new release is naturally greeted with much anticipation. And in the case of his latest effort, ‘Top Five,’ it was oh so deserved.

Boasting an all-star cast, including the likes Rosario Dawson, Gabrielle Union, Whoopi Goldberg, and Kevin Hart, the Paramount Pictures flick was showered with praise upon its theatrical release last December.

The movie tells the tale of a comedian who tries to make it as a serious actor when his reality-TV star fiancée talks him into broadcasting their wedding on her TV show.

Naturally, its stars are hitting the promo trail hard for the two-hour finale.

Yesterday saw Bryshere Gray, who plays Hakeem Lyon on the music drama, stop by ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ to do his part.

Weeks before another chart titan is said to surprise the world with a new LP, Kendrick Lamar has learned that his decision to drop his new LP ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’ like a generous thief in the night has paid off…big time.

Set free a week before its original release date, the album has now set a first-day streaming record on the streaming service ‘Spotify’, spun 9.6 million times worldwide in the space of a day.

Doing so has seen him snatch the record away from Michael Bolton’s ‘Christmas’ LP and earn him a reported $44,160 in a single day globally, outperforming Drake’s ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’ and Madonna’s ‘Rebel Heart’ on the platform.

Interestingly, though, longtime collaborator The-Dream has this week dished on an abandoned sound the singer was prepping for what would have been 2011’s ‘4.’

For as amazing a performer as Chris Brown is, charm is one trait that appears to allude him.

The singer has been a fixture in the headlines of late after news hit that he fathered a nine-month old baby named Royalty. Perhaps most stinging, though, was the fact that long-suffering girlfriend Karrueche Tran had no idea.

In the immediate aftermath, Tran (whose occupation remains a mystery) took to Twitter to announce her break-up from the star.

Yet, it seems C. Breezy can’t stop peeping her activity.

Taking to Instagram moments ago, he dropped quite the comment on a racy image she posted.

See what we mean below…
