It was a family affair for Tamar and Toni Braxton last night at the 44th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.
The singing siblings posed it up as they arrived on the red carpet for the star-studded Los Angeles event.
Grammy winner Toni was on-hand to support the youngest of her sisters, who defiantly attended after being nominated for her involvement with ‘The Real.’
The ‘My Man’ belter’s decision to attend surprised many given that she was dramatically dropped from the talk show last year.
Braxton’s former cast-mates revealed that the show’s producers extended an invite to the outspoken media maven.
For reasons her label will be keen to understand, the general public’s perception of the usually likeable entertainer seems to have sullied since her decision to step out to support the Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Since then the star, who enjoyed a scandal-free and drama deficient run atop Pop before then, now finds herself becoming public enemy #1 within music industry circles.
Now, as she faces fire for an Obama-related joke shared here and “leaks” said to be coming from those close to her see baseless rumours about her splattered all over blind items pages, she has been hit with another scandal.
The Weeknd‘s producer Mano shocked his Twitter followers recently when he claimed that Perry called him a ni**** and used the disgusting word regularly and comfortably.
yep it happened in a club in paris…….smh she really thought she had the right. honestly my feelings were hurt and i was offended https://t.co/ErCscb3BbC
u actually the 1st person who thought 2 empathize with me. thank u. i mean i wasn't traumatized but i did feel lower than i should. https://t.co/fXRWksdWZ4
@jjmcphatter@BravoWWHL@NeNeLeakes@Andy I agree with you? Porsha is the show, Nene is jealous and needs attention. Nene is the real fraud! Acting all brand new,looking a gool
As the show’s ratings have fared well without Leakes, several fans believe that she may be threatened by Williams’ undeniable rise to the top of the show’s pecking order on a popularity front.
Nene, don’t forget when no one liked you in season 7, Phaedra & Porsha were the ONLY ones that were loyal & would film with you. #rhoa#wwhl
Season 9 of ‘The Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ has reached its climax, but the fireworks continue during its historic four-part reunion.
Following the explosive third installment, the final part promises more, more, and well…more.
The gathering sees Kandi‘s feud with Porsha and Phaedra reach boiling point, while Kenya comes under scrutiny for her suspect relationships. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
As her new Migos-assisted single, ‘Bon Appetit,’ continues to underwhelm on the critical and commercial front, singer Katy Perry is seeing her name served a-front controversial headlines.
The singer/songwriter took to live stream to scold followers who weren’t exactly fond of her new blonde hairdo by stating:
“Oh, someone says, ‘I miss your old black hair,'” she said before sarcastically replying, “Oh, really? Do you miss Barack Obama as well? Oh, OK. Times change. Bye! See you guys later.”
Granted, Perry has been a longtime supporter of the former president, but many didn’t appreciate the comparison – some even claiming the quote housed hints of “racism” and “privilege.” Needless to say, as the story made its rounds, Twitter was set alight.
The last decade has seen a number of Pop culture’s power players fall from grace following claims that they used their power to prey on the vulnerable and powerless.
Brandy is baking a comeback album and we can’t wait to taste.
So as to satiate hungry fans, who’ve longed for a new album in the five years since her last offering, The Vocal Bible has been sharing morsels of music.
The latest came today on Snapchat. Take a listen below (use the arrows to scroll for more clips):
Last night’s Wearable Art Gala brought out a number of notable names – including Destiny’s Child.
A heavily pregnant Beyonce was in the house, as was Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams – and founding member LeToya Luckett. Despite not all posing together, all were snapped at the event, which was held at California African American Museum.
Joining the ‘Say My Name’ singers at the function were Bey’s mother Tina Knowles-Lawson, Jay Z, and Kelly’s husband Tim Witherspoon.
The hacker who threatened to leak episodes from ‘Orange is the New Black’s new season has fulfilled his “promise” by doing just that.
Netflix learned that a hacker named The Dark Overlord had gained access to its systems and pulled ‘Orange’s latest season from them.
His or her mission? To force the company to cough up cash in exchange for the episodes they had stolen. Alas, “negotiations” either fell through or didn’t happen at all prompting the hacker to upload his stolen goods online.
Who is next on the list? FOX, IFC, NAT GEO, and ABC. Oh, what fun we’re all going to have. We’re not playing any games anymore.
Today’s From The Vault pick is pulled from 2006 and sees Hip-Hop legend Diddy and Pop royal Christina Aguilera team for the tantalising ‘Tell Me.’
The second single from Diddy’s ‘Press Play’ LP, the track was produced by Just Blaze and was instantly singled out as a highlight on the album by the press as well as fans.
Initially the song was a demo for the group that would become Danity Kane, but Diddy decided to use it on his own album. For Aguilera, it was a return to a more modern sound as she was deep into her ‘Back To Basics’ era, which saw her go all retro on the masses.
Though it had been coined for chart glory, it didn’t match the success of its predecessor, the Nicole Scherzinger-assisted ‘Come To Me.’ ‘Tell Me’ only managed to reach the Top 50 in the US and wasn’t even released everywhere in Europe. Still it got to #8 in the UK.
************
Shot by Erik White, the first part of the video referenced the infamous ‘Maxell blown away’ commercial, while the second saw Diddy, Xtina and dancers “do that thing” on LED sets. Very 00’s – in the best way.
************
Say what folk will about Diddy, there’s no denying that he consistently cooks up quality music and collaborations, whether successful on the charts or not. As for Xtina, she remains one of the best vocalists of today’s age, even a decade after this song was released.
One of Madonna‘s former friends and dancers have stepped out to confirm that the star had a deep rooted hatred of her 90s chart rival Janet Jackson.
Kevin Stea, who stood as one of the brains behind Madonna’s creative machine, is now feuding with the singer after he joined a large group of her former employees to sue her for moves he claims she made to invade their privacy and exploit them during their time together.
Now, he has opened up an incident which he says shocked him to his core and exposed, according to him, Madonna’s supposed desire to take Janet down.
