Unfamiliar with the Pop duo? Take Danity Kane‘s latest incarnation, removed two members and arm what’s left with a La Roux-inspired sound and the picture becomes much clearer.

Now, its members Aubrey O’Day and Shannon Bex have released their first single ‘White Lightning‘ which is available to enjoy on iTunes with four other tracks should one choose to pre-order their first release.

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:

‘Real Sisters’ hitmaker Future kept it all the way real during a recent interview with Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club when quizzed on his recent comments about his sex life with Grammy winning ex-girlfriend Ciara.

Keeping it cool overall, when mention of their child – Future Jr. – arose, the rapper heated up quite a bit for Ci allowing her current boyfriend, footballer Russell Wilson, to be so involved in the 1-year-old’s life.

In addition, the proud papa of 4 minced no words with his disappointment for her keeping mum as the media continues to slam him as an absentee father and cheater.

Hear it from his mouth below:
