Forget Fridays, it appears all the action takes place Thursday nights on ABC.

Smash hit series ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ is back for an action-packed second season.

The legal drama, which stars Emmy winner Viola Davis, follows a group of ambitious law students and their brilliant criminal defence professor. Last season the group become involved in a twisted murder plot and this plays out the aftermath – which boasts even more roller-coasters.

It all makes for a riveting watch. We’re already hooked!

Peep the preview of episode 5 of season 2 below…

With the underdog appeal of a J. Cole and the regality of a Beyonce Drake now finds himself reaping the rewards for building a brand soaked in carefully-calculated coolness.

It’s easy to forget that the chart-rocking rapper actually started is journey as an actor, fronting storylines written for the character Jimmy Brooks in ‘Degrassi: The Next Generation.’

This year, he plans to reunite with his first craft by making a beeline for the big screen.

Rihanna may be ANTI-vocals, but that hasn’t stopped producers from nabbing the her as a “key advisor” on ‘The Voice.’

The 27-year-old will mentor hopefuls on the hit show ahead of the release of her eighth studio album, ‘ANTI.’

With the serially delayed set reportedly due imminently, it appears Rih’s appearance on the show has been aptly timed.

Check out a preview of her rubbing shoulders with coaches Pharrell, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, and Adam Levine below…

Before they were Destiny’s Child Destiny’s Child were The Dolls, fronted by the R&B singer KeKe Wyatt.

Alas, Mathew Knowles  fate would have it that the group would continue without Wyatt and with a stage-blazing vocal force named Beyonce as its leading lady.

Fast forward to today and Wyatt‘s musical journey has brought her to a brand new chapter of her life which she is to immortalise with her sixth studio album.

While newcomers The Weeknd and Fetty Wap have been the Hot 100 champions of 2015, it’s Drake who is still showing the new kids how it’s done.

Indeed, in addition to landing not one, but two #1 albums on the Billboard 200 this year (‘If You’re Reading This…’ and ‘What A Time…’ with Future), the rapper/singer/actor is now one step away from seeing similar success on the Hot 100 as his hot new tune ‘Hotline Bling’ ascends to the #2 spot.

Kept at bay this week by fellow Canadian crooner The Weeknd‘s ‘The Hills,’ if next week’s tally looks like industry analysts expect, Drizzy will nab his first #1 hit on the singles chart nearly 10 years into his career.  As if this isn’t cause enough to celebrate, the ‘Back To Back’ beau can also lift a toast to seeing his name peppered over the Hot 100 some 13 times – a feat that etches him further into history books (read more on that here).

The C word.

For some, it’s crude. Others? Crass.

However, if your name happens to be Taylor Swift it’s the driving force behind an enviable brand of success that’s now reportedly seen her earn a spot on the Grammy Awards committee.

We’re talking about competition.

Why that C word is set to heat up among Pop’s leading ladies now numbers from Swift’s latest live venture have surfaced?

Check out Beyonce!

Music’s reigning royal strikes a pose a-front of the Winter 2015 issue of BEAT magazine.

Visually in sync with the US flag, Queen Bey serves simplistic stunner in the Ryan McGinley lensed snap. We approve!

Randomness: With the two-year anniversary of  the game-changing ‘Beyonce’ album, we feel we’re ready for the follow-up. An early November roll-out would be everything. But, anyway…

Your thoughts?

Following a dramatic fall from grace, Mathew Knowles has largely shunned the spotlight.

Indeed, the once formidable manager of Destiny’s Child and Beyonce had largely retired from the public eye after severing ties with his superstar offspring in 2011; the same period in which wife Tina Knowles filed for divorce and details of his extra-marital affairs (which produced two children) became mass media fodder. His Music World empire also closed up shop.

Now, the Knowles patriarch is attempting to rise like a phoenix  by way of a new bootcamp which he’s christened ‘The Entertainment Industry: How Do I Get In?’

To plug the class (tickets for which are $1500 each), Mathew sat down for an interview on ‘The Breakfast Club.’

Naturally, hosts DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne did not hold back. As such, discussed were his current relationship with Destiny’s Child, the group’s long-awaited reunion, Beyonce, and a whole lot more.

Tea cups and popcorn at the ready? Mathew’s must-see interview after the jump…
