It’s that time of year again, kids!  Yep, the time when fan groups of many legendary acts are collectively pissed off from learning their faves were omitted from the list of nominees for the ‘Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.’

Despite amassing unrivaled sales, accolades, Billboard stats, impact, and industry recognition in their respective rights, a group of highly deserving individuals always find themselves absent from the round of potential inductees.

Curious to know what diva syndicate is missing from the “class of 2018” set?  You guessed it, the usuals:  pop icons Janet Jackson, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey.  That’s not all:

Despite dropping jaws with aerial acrobatics and stunts at many of her live showings for the last 7 years, P!nk has had enough of those who’ve complained about her “same old” aerial stunts in her high octane stage shows lately.

Taking to the New York Times to sound off, the pop performer proclaimed:

“How many times do you see the same artist get up and lip-sync and dance?” she countered. “And you’re mad at me for doing something none of them can do? And I sing live!”

Those detractors are certainly not the only ones who’ll take umbrage with the beauty’s bluntness.  When quizzed on Kesha and her lengthy legal battle with producer Dr. Luke, P!nk (who teamed with him to helm her hits 2000’s hits ‘U+Ur Hand’ and ‘Who Knew’) minced absolutely no words with her answer.  Referring to him as “not a good person,” she went on to tell the newspaper the backlash from his public fallout with Kesha was “his karma.”

Talk about ouch!  See what else she said inside:

Fergie‘s long-delayed “visual experience,” ‘Double Dutchess,’ may be on its way toward a double dust certification in sales and streaming, but that has not stopped the songstress from pulling out all the stops for its promotion.

And, you know what? We ain’t mad at her.

After showing off a host of qualitative visual and sonic offerings from the set, now she’s showcasing the disco-flavored, Alesso-produced cut, ‘Tension.’  With its Fatima Robinson-directed visual to boot, Fergie Ferg doesn’t make much of an appearance in the clip, but its entertainment value can certainly be found in the cameos from Internet superstar Joanne the Scammer.

‘Scandal’ is back for its 7th and final season.

Over the years, the Kerry Washington led show has boasted some of the most dramatic twists and turns in TV history and its swan song promises even more.

Forming a central part of the revived TGIT (Thank God It’s Thursday) block of programming, the political drama looks set to go out with a bang. A consolation, no doubt, for having to

ABC hit ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ is back for a firework filled-fourth 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 brought with it a countless list of shocking twists (including a major death) and the newest instalment is already delivering a whole lot more.

It all makes for a riveting watch. And like millions, we’re all sorts of hooked hooked!

Peep the preview of episode 3 of season 4 – titled ‘It’s For The Greater Good’ below…

‘Walk It Out’ wailer Jennifer Hudson can be seen strutting her stuff inside the pages of November’s ‘Cosmpolitan.’  Hitting newsstands October 10, the songstress – who is spending her fall as a coach on NBC’s ‘The Voice’ – is thankfully using her voice to put the finishing touches on her long-delayed fourth album.

And, while she may have not shed any particularly new light on the project in ‘Cosmo,’ her spread in the fashion/lifestyle mag was still quite the read.  Sharing some interesting tidbits on some of her former movie co-stars, including Beyonce and Sarah Jessica Parker, tuck in to see the finished products from the cute shoot inside and even go behind the scenes:

In addition to promoting the final season of WETv’s hit reality series, ‘Mary Mary,’ ‘Speak the Word’ wailer Tina Campbell took to daytime talk show ‘The Real’ to speak on the controversy surrounding her recently reiterated support of sitting president Donald Trump.

As fans of the songstress know, she’s never been shy about backing the businessman-turned-politician, but the comments recently picked up some serious steam.  So much so, Campbell became the center of vicious verbal attacks on her social media handles (leading her to temporarily disable the comments on them).

When quizzed about the hoop-la, she definitely did not mince words and reminded people why she voted for “The Donald” in the first place:

Cop a gander of Solange!

The eclectic singer unveiled a striking new look at The 2017 Surface Travel Awards in New York City last night.

The appearance comes the same week her chart-topping album ‘A Seat At The Table’ celebrated its 1st anniversary.
