The queen of Pop was spotted posing it up with billionaire husband Wissam Al Mana At the 5th annual ROTA Gala Charity Dinner in Qatar tonight.

While it’s great to see a happy snap of Ms. Jackson, we wish she’d hurry and quench our thirst for that elusive new album of hers. We’re waiting!

Winning must be Shonda Rhimes‘ default mode.

For, that’s exactly what she continues to do week in and week out with the ratings of two of her prime-time properties – ‘Scandal’ and ‘How To Get Away With Murder’.

This week’s offerings of both shows delivered dynamite numbers for ABC.

She may be yet to deliver a music video (or live performance) worthy of her star status, but that hasn’t stopped Nicki Minaj from becoming one of the world’s most celebrated entertainers, hailed by some as one third of a musical “Holy Trinity” completed by Beyonce and Rihanna.

Unfortunately, thanks to moves made by she and her creative team, the rapper finds herself looking more foolish than holy after they released a lyric video for her new single ‘Only‘, filling itto the brim with questionable imagery some critics claim was inspired by Nazi propaganda.

Worsened by the fact that the video was released on the 76th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the clip’s release has earned the chart-topper a new batch of critics all waiting to weigh in on her latest move, even after she claimed the visual had nothing to do with Nazism and apologised to those who believe it does.

The name of one of her new critics? The political commentator that is Glenn Beck…

Kim Kardashian‘s marriage to Kris Humphries may have lasted no longer than 72 days, but it would seem the latter still finds him badgered to share his thoughts on all matters concerning the Reality TV royal.

What he’s being quizzed on now? His feelings towards her controversial ‘Break the Internet’ spread in ‘Paper‘ magazine.

So, just what does he think of his ex-wife’s latest stunt?

After a so-so start, Mariah Carey‘s new tour ‘The Elusive Chanteuse Show’ has been earning rave reviews during its recent Asian and current Australian stops.

And it appears the show isn’t just heavy on great vocal moments, it boasts sweet ones too.

Case in point, Mimi’s recent “performance” with her twin children, Monroe and Moroccan.

The 45-year-old star brought the 3-year-olds (who turn 4 next April) on stage in Auckland this week for a playful prelude to her performance of ‘Supernatural’.

The Wizard of Oz couldn’t deliver the amount of courage needed to be Alexandra Shipp at this very moment.

Aboard the highly anticipated Lifetime biopic ‘Aaliyah:  Princess of R&B,’ the Phoenix-bred beauty takes on the role of one of the genre’s most beloved entities while combatting an army of naysayers – including the ‘One In a Million’ singer’s own family.  Chronicling her rise to fame and the controversies that clouded some of it, the movie, helmed by ‘Queen of All Media’ Wendy Williams, is set to explore (like never before) the life of R&B’s fallen angel.

As the film is being greeted with mix reviews from fans and critics alike before its official arrival tonight at 8/7c, Shipp tells That Grape Juice how she’s handling the skeptics, the challenges that came with singing Aaliyah’s music, and so much more.

When?

This is the question routinely thrown into the air during discussion about Rihanna‘s eighth studio album.

Initially due last year, the set has been marred by multiple delays, which the 26-year-old recently blamed on being a perfectionist (the hilarity).

But according to a new report by DJ Skee, ol’ RiRi could be pulling a rouse and readying a roll-out much sooner than thought.

Cheryl Cole must have felt in a charitable mood tonight.

Because, after years of lip-syncing, she donated her live vocals to this evening’s ‘Children In Need’ broadcast.

The X Factor judge did away with the 8-counts and instead served up a stripped-back performance of the title track of her new album, ‘Only Human’.

How did she fare? Find out below….

Today brings with it the big screen debut of hotly anticipated movie ‘Beyond The Lights’.

Led by Nate Parker and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, the film follows the story of superstar singer Noni. The pressures of fame have her on the edge, until she meets Kaz (Parker), a young cop who works to help her find the courage to develop her own voice and break free to become the artist she was meant to be.

Critics have showered praise on the flick – and with good reason. We watched earlier this month and enjoyed in earnest. Think a modern-day ‘Bodyguard’.

Ever keen to get you the scoop, we caught up with Parker and quizzed him on his role, the movie’s parallels to the Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner classic, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus and more.
