It’s that time of year again.

The MTV Video Music Awards 2017 will be heating up screens on August 27th live from The Forum in Los Angeles.

Hailed as one of the most important days on the Pop music calendar, all eyes are on who is up for coveted Moonmen at the show’s 33rd instalment. Especially with MTV eliminating gendered categories.

Despite Katy Perry‘s heartiest efforts, the world watched on as her ‘Witness’ album quickly tanked post arrival.

Unwrapped last month without the padding of a preceding hit, the set premiered with 180k Sales-Plus-Streaming units. A figure that is by no means “bad,” but one that would go on to prove front-loaded.

Because in the time since, total sales of the LP have been stuck hovering at the 230k+ mark.

Worst still, the project has vanished from the US iTunes 100 suggesting a bounce-back is unlikely.

Undeterred, Perry is readying the video for ‘Swish Swish’ – her collaboration with Nicki Minaj.

Some are scratching their heads given that the song was first heard way back in May. But, with ‘Witness’ not being a buffet of obvious singles, it appears Perry is shooting her shot with her most plausible option.

Taking to social media, she teased its video. Peep the pic and caption below…

Mariah Carey‘s fans are renown for rallying against the star’s detractors and their latest target is UK TV presenter Eamonn Holmes.

The veteran broadcaster is not one to hold his tongue and has been vocal about his dislike for the songbird and her diva antics over the years. It’s a stance he says is directly linked to experiences interviewing Mimi in the past.

His latest jab (which came during a segment discussing an unflattering viral clip) seems to be one too many for the singer’s “Lambs.”

For, they’ve launched a petition demanding an apology.

The 40-year-old ‘Moesha’ star Shar Jackson has been ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from her grandchild.

Why?

Shar‘s daughter has a child with the 27-year-old ‘Zoey 101′ star Chris Massey who dropped the infant to Shar’s residence back in May so that she could spend time with the actress and her family for a few weeks.

Chris now says that this is a decision he’ll always regret.

For, when he picked her up, he noticed a 4-inch razor cut across her forehead and was horrified when she revealed that Shar had given it to her!

When Chris confronted her about the assault the entertainer  is said to have told him that she intended to do “whatever she wants” and this prompted the actor to seek support and protection for his child from the courts.

How? By seeking a temporary restraining order.

TMZ reports:

A judge granted Chris’ request, ordering Shar stay at least 50 yards away from the kid. Shar’s rep tells us, “Shar categorically denies all of this nonsense, as it it completely fabricated and from the mouth of a very troubled individual. Period.”

 

Shar’s fans will know that this wouldn’t be her first ride on controversy’s spinning wheel.

Back in 2004, she discovered that her lover Kevin Federline had been “dirty dancing” with fellow 90s teen queen Britney Spears.

The iconic boxer Mike Tyson has opened up on being sexually assaulted as a child in a new interview with ESPN E60.

Interviewed by his old friend Jeremy Schapp, Tyson revealed that he had been attacked by a man who snatched him off the street and forced him into a building when he was only seven-years-old.

Well I don’t like to talk about that, I like to keep that where it was in the past, but I was molested as a child.

He added:

It made me have to be tough for the world I lived in.

Keen to inspire those who have harmed in the same way, Tyson revealed that he didn’t step forward to tell anyone for years because he was ashamed. Now, he says he has come to terms with what happened to him and has learned that his attacker’s disgusting act doesn’t make him (Tyson) any less of a man…or person.

I learned that it doesn’t make you any less of a man because it happened.

‘Talk About Our Love’ singer Brandy has been the talk of a number of fan groups over the past week, namely Jennifer Lopez‘s #JLovers and Mariah Carey‘s #Lambs.  For, after one simple IG post honoring the leader of the latter, she was inundated with insults and social media attacks for implied “shade” toward the leader of the former.

Granted, she did quickly clear up the mess online, but she wanted to ensure the drama was completely squashed.  Taking to CBS’s ‘The Talk’ to address the matter, B-Rocka spoke candidly about her love for both Carey and Lopez and reminded members of their fan groups that her #SheKnowsMe post meant no harm.
