Katy Perry‘s Superbowlstatus was garnished with a coating of official tonight. For, this evening brought with it a Pepsi sponsored commercial plugging her spot as the confirmed headliner for the 2015 Half-Time Show.
The tongue in cheek spot sees the Pop star playfully prod at different concepts for the fifteen minute spectacle, which takes place February 1st, 2015 at the Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Interestingly, during the course of the clip, the ‘Dark Horse’ singer arguably takes a dig at rival Lady GaGa. Although, we’ll leave that to you decide. All we’ll say is “bacon” and “meat dress”. It’ll make sense after the jump…

Just 24 hours remain until the Platinum Edition of Beyonce‘s self-titled visual album leaps into stores.
Loaded with the original LP and each song’s accompanying video, the set also includes two new tracks, four remixes, and ten live performances.
The beefed up project features a behind the scenes look at the superstar’s blockbuster tour, ‘The Mrs. Carter Show’, too. Shot as a diary of sorts, the video also offers insight into the diva’s day-to-day life.
At a time where male R&B groups are a rare find, it’s almost mandatory for us to journey back and celebrate those that helped redefine the genre and put it on the global map. This week’s From The Vault pick is the wholly-heartfelt ‘Don’t Leave Me’ by Blackstreet.
Produced by ever-talented band member Teddy Riley, ‘Leave’ was released as the second single from the band’s 1997 LP ‘Another Level’ and was built around a sample of 1983’s ‘A Dream’ from Motown family band DeBarge.
Interestingly, the release never charted on the Billboard Hot 100 due to a technicality but was a huge hit overseas including the UK where it charted at #6 and #1 in New Zealand.
For the Michael Martin directed music video, the band served a “90s-boyband” masterclass, complete with lyrics-explanative dance moves and questionable CGI. Granted the visual looks like it’s been commissioned by the Cheese Factory (see: that polaroid tower), it still manages to capture the passion of the song.
Long gone seems the time where the Blackstreets, Jodecis and Dru Hills of this world were ruling the mainstream charts. Hopefully the coming year and years will see a resurgence of R&B boybands to shake things up; indeed with the genre making a comeback as of late, the time is ripe for a new slew of males ensembles to step up to the plate.
Pending then…
To the 1990’s male R&B groups, we salute you! We thank you!
RandomFact: Yes, this is the same sample used on Tupac’s posthumous hit ‘I Ain’t Mad At Cha’, which has also been interpolated by newcomers Fifth Harmony on their song ‘We Know’. Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul Mary J. Blige covered the original song in 1997.
Having remixed industry A-Listers such as Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Aaliyah, Sugababes & Gyptian, Sticky returns alongside Veteran MC, General Levy with his latest project – Pull Up.
Pull Up was one of the stand-out tracks from this year’s Notting Hill Carnival and has since become one of the most requested records on radio.
Poor music may have stopped her from becoming the international Pop sensation her talent should have made her, but it would seem Nicole Scherzinger’s run as a successful TV personality is anything but over.
For, she may set to join Simon Cowell to revive ‘X Factor USA’, re-teaming with the mogul to put the series back on US screens after it was axed in February.
Before the sun sets on the first season of ‘Love & Hip Hop Hollywood’, ‘No Panties’ performer Trina has revealed that VH1 approached her to star in the Miami arm of its parent series ‘Love & Hip Hop.‘
However, the network didn’t get its wish, rejected by the rapper after she saw how editing and feud-fuelling contracts on its other Reality shows had ruined the images of their cast members.
If a report published today is anything to go by, the above are words ‘Apple‘ hope leave Beyonce‘s lips soon, uttered before she leaves Sony Music to take a healthy bite into their business.
Why Columbia‘s Rob Stringer may have a fruity fight on his hands if said report turns out to be true?
