Since January, Whitney Houston‘s only child Bobbi Kristina has lay in coma in an Atlanta hospital where she’s been fighting for her life after being found face down in a bath tub.

The weeks following her hospitalisation have brought with them many questions surrounding the 22-year-old’s longterm boyfriend Nick Gordon and the role he may have played in the matter.

Publicly put down by Bobbi’s father Bobby Brown, Gordon has been forbidden access to the hospital where the woman he falsely claimed was his “wife” is being cared for by doctors.

Seemingly fed up, he agreed to an interview with talk-show host Dr Phil this week to tell his side of the story. Unbeknownst to him, the sit-down was actually an intervention set up by his mother – who has been worried about his suicidal thoughts and substance abuse.

Set to air on Wednesday (March 11th), a sneak peek of the tense episode has been released.

Lady GaGa has been on quite the winning streak of late.

Well documented is the under-performance of her 2013 album ‘ARTPOP’ (which has yet to sell 800,000 in the US). However the onset of this year has already brought with it both a Grammy and a Gold certification for ‘Cheek To Cheek’ – her Jazz standards album with Tony Bennett.

What’s more, the superstar earned universal acclaim for her jaw-dropping ‘Sound Of Music’ medley at the Oscars late last month, which was swiftly followed by the blockbuster announcement that she’ll be starring in the hit series ‘American Horror Story’.

Naturally, then, the assumption was that the singer would quickly leverage the positive climate into the roll-out of her next project.

Perhaps so. Yet, it’s now been confirmed that the diva is unlikely to deliver said LP before the close of this year.

Lil’ Wayne (‘Revolver’) and Nicki Minaj (‘Give Me All Your Luvin’) have already shared song credits with Queen of Pop Madonna, but if she has her way, it seems their chart-topping Young Money mate Drake is soon set to follow.

After expressing a mutual fascination on Instagram, the Canadian hitmaker lent the tune ‘Madonna’ (found aboard his #1 album ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’) in honor of his new legendary friend.  Earning a thumbs up from the diva herself, she now reveals to our friends at Complex that a collabo is already in the works.

Madge, who is in full promo swing for the March 10th release of her new album ‘Rebel Heart,’ also dished on the new project and contributions from Kanye West – who fans may remember was also spotted on the her ‘Hard Candy’ project.

Are you ready for hip-hop flavored hits from the Queen?  Get the details below:

Beyond ‘Empire’, FOX are riding high with another freshman show – ‘Gotham’.

A ratings hit, the series – which tells the story of the iconic city pre its Batman era – has captivated viewers with its slick production, impressive performances, and spot-on-nods to the classic characters who feature in the story of the caped crusader.

On the cusp of its season one climax, it has been confirmed that the show will be waving goodbye to one its most-loved staples, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Chris Brown has reached his boiling point.

This week the singer found himself, once again, the focus of global headlines after it was revealed that he fathered a daughter named Royalty – with a woman not girlfriend Karruche Tran. {The mother, ex model Nia, was previously spotted partying with Tran}

Presently thrilling audiences on his North American ‘Between The Sheets Tour’, 25-year-old Brown has publicly ignored the drama and has instead made a marked point of sharing Instagram snaps of his artwork and footwear.

Naturally, this only incited fans to press the singer even more for his response to all that’s taking place.

And oh, moments ago, did they get one.

See what C. Breezy had to say below…

“We don’t know how, but it magically ended up in Tyga’s hands. I told him, I was like, ‘You know that’s my song.’Low and behold, it leaked with him on it after I told him not to put it out and I thought that was a little bit disrespectful ’cause I had always shown him love. I had always done stuff with him, took him on tour with me, and I thought it was disrespectful ’cause I am the queen of Young Money.”

Nicki Minaj had to say on Tyga‘s involvement with her rising jam ‘Truffle Butter’ this week, revealing just how a version of the cut with him on it surfaced online.

She dished on the mater during a recent interview with BBC1xtra,taking to the platform to tease her forthcoming world tour and share fresh thoughts on her relationship with ‘Daddy’ rapper Meek Mill and Lil Wayne’s ongoing feud with their label boss Birdman.

Pop prince Nathan Sykes teases his forthcoming solo album with a brand new jam today, unlocking the bop ‘More Than You’ll Never Know‘ as a buzz cut!

Sykes hasn’t announced what his debut solo LP is to be called, but did tease the project after unleashing ‘Know’ last night.

MY FIRST SINGLE WILL BE OUT IN SPRING BUT AS YOU’VE ALL BEEN SO AMAZINGLY PATIENT I DIDN’T WANT YOU TO WAIT UNTIL THEN.

Rihanna is quite literally covering all bases in the campaign for her long awaited eighth album.

The 27-year-old has featured a-front of a growing list of magazines since the start of the year, a trajectory that continued today with the unwrapping of her new Harper’s Bazaar China cover.

She may be one of the most mediocre “talents” in the music industry, but there’s no denying…she looks all sorts of fierce! If only she didn’t sing like she was spinning in a washing machine. Sigh.

In any case, for RiRi’s sake, her serially delayed LP needs to come with as much of a sting as her look.

Your thoughts?
