Vague may be the name of the game when it comes to details surrounding Rihanna‘s new album. However, that hasn’t stopped the glamazon from cashing in on her beauty.

The 27-year-old model has once again landed a-front of Vogue magazine.

Ms. Fenty appears on the cover of a special issue dedicated to the MET Gala, where she arrived in a show-stopping ensemble that polarized opinion (see: high fashion / omelette).

Remarking on her selection as the fashion bible’s latest cover star, Rih gushed:

WOW!!! I am very honored to have this image selected for the new cover of @voguemagazine !! #metgala2015 #art #fashion #Vogue

Good on her.

Rihanna’s eighth album is due…

Scratch that; we’re not even sure if she knows at this point.

Your thoughts?

Pop diva Christina Aguilera may be baking her own new album, but that hasn’t stopped her from lending her (immense) talent to the soundtrack for ‘Finding Neverland.’

The mother of two joins major names such as Jennifer Lopez, John Legend, and Bon Jovi on the LP – which sees said stars perform songs from the Broadway production of ‘Finding’ (due June 9th).

Xtina’s contribution comes in the form of ‘Anywhere But Here,’ a preview of which awaits below…

As unlikely pairings go, there’s little linking Jennifer Lopez with R&B crooner Trey Songz.

However, the duo team up for duet on ‘Finding Neverland: The Album.’ The ambitious project (which hits stores on June 9th) sees a host of stars tackle tracks from the Broadway production of the hit musical.

J.Lo and Trigga trade verses on the song ‘What You Mean To Me’ – a snippet of which has surfaced today.

Tinie Tempah is back!

The Brit-bred rapper aims to please this summer with scorching new single ‘Not Letting Go.’

‘Rather Be’ chart topper Jess Glynne joins the MC on the number, which serves as the lead release from his third studio album (due later this year).

Speaking on teaming with Jess, Tempah explained:

“I’ve been a fan of Jess since I heard her song ‘Home.’ We met properly at the BRITs last year and spoke about doing something together. We both had crazy summers and kept bumping into each other at festivals. We eventually set a date for studio with Bless Beats who produced the track and it just kind of happened. Both being Londoners, I wanted to make a song that captured that London summertime feeling which is always the best time of the year for me and the time where I’ve had my most romantic experience. So it’s an ode to a girl I met and our experiences in this amazing city we call home – London!”

Have the pair cooked up a winner? Listen below and let us know!

Brandy‘s career has been sitting on top of the world of late thanks to a number of major moves.

Indeed, the Vocal Bible has made headlines in recent months after signing on to star in the Broadway adaptation of ‘Chicago’ and for landing her own BET sitcom called ‘Zoe Moon.’

Now, it would appear a role on music drama ‘Empire’ is on the cards for the songstress (who is also working on a new album).

After teasing involvement in the Lee Daniels drama earlier this month, the singer all but confirmed her recruitment by joining the cast at the FOX Upfront presentation today.

The press event, which is held to tout the shows on the 2015-2016 schedules, is typically only attended by the talent on the programming being promoted. And per the snaps above and below, a roll-call of ‘Empire’s stars populated every pic B-Rocka featured in; stars such as Taraji P. Henson, Jussie Smollett, Jennifer Hudson, and Timbaland – who executive produces the music on the series.

Put simply, it’s highly unlikely Ms. Norwood was there for fun. Fingers crossed a formal  announcement is made soon.

Pending then, peep more pics after the jump…

Rita Ora is ready to release new music.

More than one year has passed since the campaign for the singer’s second studio album was brought to a screeching halt after ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris snatched back the songs he crafted for the LP following their break-up. This, despite then-lead single ‘I Will Never Let You Down’ hitting #1 in the UK.

Ever the hustler, Ora has spent the time since guesting on hits such as ‘Black Widow,’ being nominated for Grammys, starring in movies, and judging on talent shows.

Now, it seems the focus is back on the hotly anticipated project (which’ll also dub as her first US release). For, RiRi has spilled on its new official lead single…
