The Black Eyed Peas have reunited…without Fergie.

Unfortunate? That depends on how one looks at it. For, her departure from the group has reportedly seen her make way for TGJ favourite CL who is said to have taken her spot in the quartet and has done all of nothing to stop the release of their brand new video for the single ‘Yesterday.’

The visual dropped to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Neo-Soul debut in 1995 with the help of Apple Music and their manager Scooter Braun, the brains behind brands fronted by Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber.

Press play to meet ‘Yesterday‘ (and the electric CL) below…

‘Get Her Back’ beau Robin Thicke seems to take two steps back for every step he takes forward regarding the highly publicized case surrounding his career-defining hit ‘Blurred Lines.’

As fans know, he – alongside ‘Lines’ co-stars Pharrell Williams, T.I., and their label Universal Music – were sued by the family of late Motown legend Marvin Gaye for the song’s similarity to his 1977 hit ‘Got To Give It Up.’ The result?  A whopping $7.4 million dollar decision in favor of the family.

In response to the unfavorable verdict, Williams was hung out to dry as Thicke, Universal Music, and T.I. tried to downplay their involvement in the song’s creation – despite all receiving royalties.  Much to the singer and his label’s dismay, only T.I. was able to successfully escape the copyright infringement claim…initially.

The week week brought with it fresh updates surrounding the case that will give the song’s producer, ‘Happy’ hitmaker Williams, a new reason to smile.  T.I. and Universal Music, on the other hand, probably won’t be.

Superstar singer Ciara is covering all bases.

For, while setting pulses racing last night with the dangerously divine video for ‘Dance Like We’re Making Love,’ the diva was all smiles at the 2015 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Sports Awards.

The 29-year-old had not one but two dates for the evening – new beau Russell Wilson (who hosted the show) and her adorable one year old son, Future Jr.

“Just when you thought you dropped me, I dropped the news. I’m still existing. I’m Still here”

Leona Lewis does not hold back on the title track for her hotly anticipated new album ‘I Am’ – her first single leaving Simon Cowell’s SyCo for Island/Def Jam.

The lyrically piercing cut is the latest taste of the project, which is preceded by warm-up single ‘Fire Under My Feet’ and current US effort ‘Thunder.’

Presently, ‘I Am’ (which was produced by Toby Gad and Eg White) is being readied for roll-out as the LP’s second official UK single.

Does it pack punch enough to make a dent in the way its predecessor aimed to? Find out below…

As reported here,  the 2015 Primetime Emmy nominations were unveiled today to honor the year’s most spectacular moments and people on television.

While the historic nominations of Taraji P. Henson (‘Empire’) and Viola Davis (‘How To Get Away With Murder’) could lend the first time in history an African American woman walks away with the ‘Best Actress’ primetime Emmy, other coveted categories are looking just as good for some of entertainment’s leading ladies.

‘Telephone’ duo Lady Gaga and Beyonce are considered frontrunners in their respective categories while fellow pop diva Katy Perry‘s ‘Super Bowl’ outing  – like Bey and Bruno Mars before her, nabbed a mention in this year’s ‘Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program’ category.

See who they’ll be competing against below:
