Immature are back!

22 years after their Chris Strokes-backed debut, the R&B trio have set their sights on fresh chart glory this year, reforming to release brand new material.

Will good music be what it takes to clean up the mess that currently sullies their legacy?

Billboard_Hot_100_ThatGrapeJuice

Check out Rita Ora!

The chart-topper is almost unrecognisable in the first snap of her character released from the hotly anticipated ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ movie.

Due to descend into theaters globally on February 14th 2015 (Valentine’s Day), the film sees 23-year-old Ora star as Mia Grey – the sister of lead Christian Grey.

The role serves as yet another major production the singer has starred in; her list of credits include ‘Fast & Furious 6’ and ‘90210’.

Since blazing onto the scene in 2008, Lady GaGa has earned the title of one of music’s hardest working women.

It’s clearly a status the star wears with pride because she continues to showcase such traits.

For, a mere matter of days after wrapping her six-month ‘artRave’ tour in Paris, the 28-year-old hit New York this morning to perform on The View in support of her chart-topping Jazz album ‘Cheek To Cheek’.

Together with Tony Bennett, her duet partner, Mother Monster soared with a rousing rendition of the LP’s title track.

Kim Kardashian has carved out quite the career since her infamous “tape” with Ray J.

Reality shows, marriages, and motherhood have kept her a media staple and helped rake in a fortune. All without the presence of any discernible talent.

And yet for some odd reason the 34-year-old appears adamant to give a nod to her trashy beginnings. Case in point her controversial Paper magazine spread from earlier this month.

Kicking off a clean-up campaign following the mass backlash, Mrs Kanye West appears on the triple cover of Elle Magazine‘s January 2015 “Confidence” issue.

Hilariously paired with the strapline “A Smart Woman’s Guide To Self Belief”, Kim’s cover sees her pose it up in an array of Balmain ensembles.

Peep the additional covers below…

NYC’s Gramercy Theatre had the pleasure of welcoming Jazmine Sullivan through its doors this month, inviting her to perform a number of her more celebrated numbers for her fans in the city.

It was there, much to the delight of these fans, did she tribute ‘Lost Ones‘ chanteuse Lauryn Hill and Roberta Flack, by performing the classic number ‘Killing Me Softly With His Song‘, released by the latter in 1973 and covered by Hill during her time in The Fugees.

How Sullivan’s version compares?

Beyonce may be taking a laxed approach to promotion these days, but her buzzing BeyHive are proving ever-active in their support for the singer.

The sales forecasts for the ‘Beyonce – Platinum Edition {More}’ EP suggest that Queen B’s reign shows no signs of slowing.
