Katy Perry fans are concerned that the Pop powers-that-be are out to destroy her career.

Inundated by a wave of negative stories centred around the star’s music and personality, this morning has seen them met by a firestorm ignited by her decision to sport a John Galliano dress to last night’s MET Gala.

Now, as they learn of unconfirmed reports surrounding a video which claims to capture her making problematic remarks, her fans have taken to social media to reveal that they believe that someone is out to destroy her.

@GagaSanFran @KingRampage23 @beyupdates_ @CallMeMano @katyperry Posing for picture with Katy means she said it? Then what does it mean when Gaga posed with people with blatant black face?

Do you think Perry’s career is being sabotaged?

If so, by who and why?

Your thoughts?

Chris Brown has been a busy, busy man.  The Grammy-winning singer/songwriter, currently taking on the States with his ‘The Party Tour,’ is also prepping fans for the release of his 8th solo album.

With the working title, ‘Heartbreak on a Full Moon,’ the set has already been preceded by the critically acclaimed songs ‘Party,’ ‘Privacy,’ and ‘Grass Ain’t Greener.’  Now that fans have had a healthy taste of what the crooner is set to serve, he took to Twitter to unveil news that the trio of tunes don’t even touch the surface of the number of tracks on deck to line ‘Heartbreak’s official list.

Sending his beloved ‘Team Breezy’ into a frenzy, see the official announcement regarding the singer’s next set:

Janet Jackson is back in business. The touring business.

After weeks of speculation, the Pop queen confirmed that she will return to the stage for the ‘State Of The World Tour.’

The trek, which kicks off in North America this Fall, will serve as the diva’s first major work endeavour since pausing the ‘Unbreakable World Tour’ last year to “plan a family.” She gave birth to son Eissa at age 50 this January, with news of her split from husband Wissam Al Mana following in March.

Mounted by Live Nation, the tour’s name is lifted from the ‘Rhythm Nation’ album track of the same name.

The jaunt, which launches September 7th, sees Jackson honor her promise of rescheduling all affected dates from her prior outing.

Tickets go on general sale this Friday (May 5th).

***********

We’re all sorts of ‘So Excited’! Sure, the start-stop of her tours in recent years hasn’t been a good look. But there’s no denying that Ms. Jackson puts on a captivating and high-octane show. Each and every time.

We’ll most definitely be going to the ‘State Of The World Tour.’ Will you?

As we write, stars from all corners of the arts are filing into the 2017 MET Gala.

Katy Perry, who serves as co-chair for this year’s installment, delivered the night’s most dramatic look.

Arriving in a royal red ensemble, her forehead sported the word “witness” – leading many to speculate whether it’s related in some capacity to her upcoming new album.

Whatever the case, Perry will no doubt be hoping her look garners ample attention given the current struggle new single ‘Bon Appétit’ is experiencing. 

Other names on hand include Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Ma Pharrell Williams and wife Helen Lasichanh (who welcomed triplets earlier this year). Also in the house were The Weeknd, Selena Gomez, Serena Williams, Solange, Rita Ora, La La, Nick Jonas, Kylie Jenner, Future, and Jaden Smith.

Nicki Minaj has unwrapped the cinematic video for ‘Regret In Your Tears’ – one of three new songs she issued simultaneously

The critically acclaimed Mert & Marcus take the directorial helm for the clip, which presents the Hip-Hop star in an array of stunning setups. It’s the photographer’s second video ever, with Madonna’s ‘Girl Gone Wild’ being the first.

Minaj recently declared the video the definitive favourite of all her visual offerings, which speaks volumes given the sheer mass she’s churned out. Especially of late.

Will ‘Regret’ serve as a favourite of yours too? Watch below and, as ever, let us know…

Jay Z has added major live date to his calendar – the festival he created Made In America.

This year’s installment of the annual extravaganza takes place Labor Day weekend (September 2nd-3rd) at the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia.

Joining Jigga as co-headliner is J. Cole, whose phenomenal success narrative continues with recently released LP ‘4 Your Eyez Only.’

Also on the bill are Solange, Migos, Tiwa Savage, The Chainsmokers, Pusha T, and UK wonder Stormzy. 

Check out the full line-up here…

Issa lit line-up – and also lends credence to suggestion that Jay is gearing up for a chart return. Surely, he’s not doing the festival rounds this summer “just because”?

As reported, Beyonce and family united in celebration of the Wearable Art Gala over the weekend.

The event served as a fundraiser for mother Tina Knowles’ WACO (Where Art Can Occur) initiative, which she set-up with husband Richard Lawson.

Initial snaps spotlighted appearances from the likes of Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, and LeToya Luckett. 

Now, Bey has posted more as has Tina who she tributed with the following message:

I am super proud of my beautiful mother for creating such an awesome event. Close to $1 million was raised for The WACO Theater Center to benefit young people through their mentorship programs and the arts. Mom, you inspire us all to be generous, selfless, positive, to have empathy, to love and to praise creativity in the world. It brought tears to my eyes to be a witness to what you and Richard have created together. WACO is a safe place truly Where Art Can Occur. I love you

Remember the new Prince EP we told you about – ‘Deliverance’? Well, it appears it won’t be hitting retail anytime soon and the reason has many side-eyeing.

Why? Because a reality show about the fiercely private star is in the works.

According to TMZ, the late legend’s Estate were successful in pulling every legal string possible to block the release of ‘Deliverance.’

At the time, the belief was that the set – recorded in 2004 while the Purple One was an indie act in between contracts – somehow conflicted with the high-profile deals inked to release his music posthumously. Hence, why his team went guns blazing at the man behind the EP, George Ian Boxill.

However, it’s now being reported that Prince’s team do have plans for the music – but want its release to coincide with a new reality show centered around Prince’s family.

Though in early stage of development, it’s being said that a production company is on-board for the as-yet-unnamed show. It’ll allegedly chronicle how they’re dealing with the aftermath of his death.

************

Eww.

As seen with similar shows about Whitney Houston and the like, this very rarely ends well and absolutely sounds like milking the cow.

Surely, there’s enough buzz around Prince, his vaulted material, and legacy to sell new product via more premium mediums? The handling of Michael Jackson posthumous career has proven that success can be extended by well calculated moves.

Above all, there’s approximately zero need to thrust folk into the spotlight that we didn’t (care to) know while Prince was alive.

Just no.

It was a family affair for Tamar and Toni Braxton last night at the 44th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.

The singing siblings posed it up as they arrived on the red carpet for the star-studded Los Angeles event.

Grammy winner Toni was on-hand to support the youngest of her sisters, who defiantly attended after being nominated for her involvement with ‘The Real.’

The ‘My Man’ belter’s decision to attend surprised many given that she was dramatically dropped from the talk show last year.

Braxton’s former cast-mates revealed that the show’s producers extended an invite to the outspoken media maven.

Good to see everyone getting along. Somewhat

Katy Perry is in trouble.

For reasons her label will be keen to understand, the general public’s perception of the usually likeable entertainer seems to have sullied since her decision to step out to support the Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Since then the star, who enjoyed a scandal-free and drama deficient run atop Pop before then, now finds herself becoming public enemy #1 within music industry circles.

Now, as she faces fire for an Obama-related joke shared here and “leaks” said to be coming from those close to her see baseless rumours about her splattered all over blind items pages, she has been hit with another scandal.

The Weeknd‘s producer Mano shocked his Twitter followers recently when he claimed that Perry called him a ni**** and used the disgusting word regularly and comfortably.

yep it happened in a club in paris…….smh she really thought she had the right. honestly my feelings were hurt and i was offended https://t.co/ErCscb3BbC

— 20/3 CrashOvrrd MANO (@CallMeMano) April 30, 2017

she couldn’t understand why and we had 2 explain 2 her that it wasn’t endering and it was really offensive

— 20/3 CrashOvrrd MANO (@CallMeMano) April 30, 2017

Mano’s story comes after industry murmurs rise about a video which allegedly captures the star in problematic action.

There is no proof that such a video exists.

no 1 cared that my feelings were hurt as a person. a famous caucasian person thought it was ok 2 say that word 2 me 2 relate with me. ?

— 20/3 CrashOvrrd MANO (@CallMeMano) April 30, 2017

Why do you think Katy has suddenly found herself in all this PR trouble?
