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.

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.

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.

As if it wasn’t already clear: Adele‘s comeback campaign has hit the music industry like a meteorite. One needn’t look further than the digital domination of lead single ‘Hello’ for proof.

And with the November 20th release of its housing album ’25’ drawing nearer, folk should expect to see the Brit-bred diva everywhere.

Kicking off the inevitable media flood, the 27-year-old covers the newest issue of i-D magazine. The stunning shot was lensed by Alasdair McLellan.

In keeping it 100 (while veering somewhat off-topic), we’re still floored by how flawless ‘Hello’ is. It’s not often that actual talent is hailed in the way Adele is. From our vantage point it’s wholly deserved, as such we can’t wait to see what the rest of the undoubtedly long campaign holds.

Haven’t heard ‘Hello’ yet? Watch the video below…
