Indeed, just five days later on October 30th the pint-sized power house is set to unveil her new single ‘Focus’ – the first from her highly anticipated third album.

Unveiling the news on tonight’s episode of ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,’ the up-and-coming diva also took time to show off her funny bone by lending impressions of Britney Spears and fellow powerhouse Christina Aguilera.

Also performed was new number ‘Religion,’ which features on Ora’s upcoming new album – her American debut – due in November.

‘Bang Bang’ belter Ariana Grande isn’t a name often associated with mess, and yet the songbird found herself in a sticky predicament early this Summer when filmed licking a donut…that she didn’t buy.

While promoting her new fragrance ‘Ari By Ariana Grande,’ the petite powerhouse expressed regret about her actions, stressing that there was “no excuse” for it.

She also utilized the moment to (smartly) shift the narrative to her new single (believed to be titled ‘Focus On Me’), which she says she’s on the cusp of announcing later this week. The track will be the first to be lifted from the singer’s third album in as many years, ‘Moonlight.’

The fall out from the latest Danity Kane break-up continues.

As reported, Aubrey O’Day and Shannon Bex are pressing on as Dance duo Dumblonde – a journey which brought them to The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 this morning.

In a rare move, the ladies did not hold back.

Indeed, each – with detailed depth – shared their account of the group’s second split – which they say has its roots in dramas from a decade earlier.

Needless to say, it’s unlikely ex-bandmate Dawn Richard (who infamously punched O’Day in the head) will be any kind of pleased.

Get ready because all sorts of tea is poured below…

As previously reported, singer/songwriter Chris Brown was ripped by an event promoter at this year’s “gay pride” weekend in Atlanta after reportedly failing to appear at a gig due to the presence of gay men in the audience.  Brown later offered an apology for the confusion and clapped back to inform fans he was never officially booked for the appearance.  Well…that hasn’t stopped the promoter from trying to recup funds for her loss.

While reports swarmed the net as recently as this morning indicating the promoter – Melissa Scott – is looking to get at least $12,50o from Chris and camp or else she’ll sue, the R&B bad boy is still vehemently denying any involvement with her.
