When Jesus says yaaaassss, nobody can say no!

Kelly Rowland warned in a recent interview that her fellow Destiny’s Child alum, Michelle Williams, was working on something “big” and “top secret.”  While we impatiently await official news on what that “something” is, Williams took to Instagram and Facebook to unveil some new jaw-dropping shots that may serve as our first clues.

Fiercely working the snaps under the direction of the famed photographers Cyndi Brown and others, the Grammy-winning songstress – whose debut album, ‘Heart To Yours,’ celebrated its 15th birthday this month – is reminding any naysayers she’s still able to rock a mic, runway, and a lens nearly 20 years in the game.

Jennifer Lopez continues to slay with effortless ease.

The 47-year-old turned heads as she arrived at the 2017 Billboard Latin Music Awards last night.

Taking place at the Watsco Center inCoral Gable, Florida, the event saw the multi-hyphenate maven presented with the evening’s top honor – the Star Award.

The win comes after the ever-active Lopez, who rocked two revealing ensembles, was bestowed with the Billboard Icon Award in 2014.

Peep more pics from the spectacle below…

Slaying, as ever.

With the exception of songstresses Alessia Cara, Selena Gomez, and Julia Michaels [in leading positions], the Hot 100’s upper rankings – namely the top 30 – are indeed a man’s world.  Leading that pack of 27-male entries, to no surprise, is King Kendrick Lamar.

In addition to seeing his album, ‘Damn,’ top the Billboard 200 with the year’s highest first week sales (to date) and simultaneously place all fourteen of its tracks in various positions across the Hot 100 this week, the set’s breakout hit – ‘Humble’ – has politely been seated at the latter chart’s summit (consequently ending Ed Sheeran‘s ‘Shape of You‘s 12-week run at the top).

Curious to see where you can see Lamar’s name scattered all over the chart?  You know what to do:

After Lifetime hit a ratings high note with its Angela Bassett-directed biographical film that chronicled the tumultuous relationship of her superstar parents Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown (click here to read more about that), TV One is looking to follow suit by unveiling an in-depth look at the life of Bobbi Kristina.

Simply titled ‘Bobbi Kristina,’ the made-for-TV flick will reportedly lend an “intimate look at the highs and lows of parental, familial and romantic love complicated by fame through the eyes of a sensitive, vulnerable young woman.”

Katy Perry served up sassy new single ‘Bon Appétit’ at the strike of midnight and the expectation was for the masses to eat it up.

It’s early, but it appears folk are proceeding to the table slower than perhaps planned.

As at writing, the Migos assisted cut has yet to enter top 10 of US iTunes. It presently occupies the #15 spot. This despite banners and ample fan-fare.

**********

While it’s far from doom and gloom, especially given Perry’s general strong streaming performance, it does make one wonder.

Because beyond being the tier of act accustomed to instant hits, she’s coming off a lukewarm chart run with preceding single ‘Chained To The Rhythm.’

All of which makes for potentially sweaty palms at Camp Perry.

Still, as the age old adage goes, it’s rarely about how one starts but how they finish. Maybe just maybe it’ll take longer to rise but enjoy sweeter success.

Over 100,000 members of the social media community unfollowed Kim Kardashian in less than 24 hours as she faced claims that her paparazzi images are heavily edited before they are released to the public.

The drama kicked off when Kardashian, who has denied that she owns a surgically enhanced behind, was caught on a beach sporting a body which stood as a far cry from the one she often flaunts on social media.

Natural Kim Kardashian photos on the beach will hopefully stop the butt implant craze! Not the brawest #justsayno #naturalisbest

In response to the supposed “treachery”, over 100,000 people pulled their support of her social media platforms by unfollowing her.

Her follower count on Instagram now sit at the 98.8 million point.

Why do you think the public responded in the way they did?

British vocal outfit MiC Lowry have been building buzz on a global stage thanks to their infallible harmonies and vocal prowess.

Like Justin Bieber (who they recently opened for on tour), the quintet garnered their big break on YouTube after covering classics from the likes of Beyonce and Boyz II Men.

Their steady ascend has seen them amass a huge fanbase, sign with Universal Music, and perform on stages across the globe – including The Wendy Williams Show.

That Grape Juice welcomed the Liverpool bred group to The Splash and they showed up and showed out.

Watch above as they perform new single ‘Whiskey Kisses’ (available to buy and stream now) and a cover of Usher‘s ‘U Remind Me.’

Fans of the Pop icon Diana Ross were elated when they discovered that the performer was to launch a new set of live shows in New York City.

This week, said elation turned into euphoria when the shows kicked off and saw the former Supreme soar on stage with a set which glides through her discography and personal journey.

‘Scandal’ is back!

Following a longer than planned hiatus (to accommodate Kerry Washington‘s pregnancy), the show picks up right where it left off – with fireworks!

Forming a central part of the revived TGIT (Thank God It’s Thursday) block of programming, the political drama promises (and is already delivering) many an explosive twist and turn for its sixth season. Election, anyone?!

Today marks the global release of Mary J. Blige‘s thirteenth studio album ‘Strength Of A Woman’. 

The set, which features contributions from the likes of Missy Elliott, Jazmine Sullivan, Kanye West, and DJ Khaled, arrives at a dramatic time for the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul.

Indeed, as widely reported, Blige is in the midst of a mucky divorce from former manager Kendu Isaacs.

During the promotional rounds for the LP, she’s cited the creation of the project as being therapeutic for her after years of secretly suffering in her marriage.

And one listen of the LP highlights the hurt but also the triumph of realising one’s worth.

Your thoughts?

Pop songstress Katy Perry‘s politically charged last single, ‘Chained to the Rhythm,’ may not have been linked to the type of ‘out of the box’ success she’s used to enjoying, but its follow-up – ‘Bon Appetit‘ featuring chart-topping rap group Migos – may be on track to sing another tune (commercially).

Being served alongside a healthy helping of controversy (click here to read more about that), listen to it inside and tell us if Ms. Perry will land a hit akin to the other big smashes that line her discography:
