Bruno Mars has delivered his long awaited third album ‘24k Magic’ today.

The follow-up to 2012 effort ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’ is an audacious effort filled with R&B jams that provide a flavorful soundtrack to pregame of Friday nights.

Sonically ‘Magic’ sees Mars channel the ‘80s and ‘90s era of R&B, which many a millennial cite as its peak years with contributions from the likes of Prince, Boyz II Men, and Babyface. Influences clearly present on the 9-song set.

With the set already moving numbers at retail, three new tracks have been made available to stream.

Listen to ‘Chunky,’ ‘That’s What I Like,’ and ‘Perm’ below. All were written and produced by Bruno, Phillip Lawrence, and Christopher ‘Brody’ Brown. A collective now known as Shampoo Press & Curl.  (more…)

Kanye West is never one to hold his tongue.

However, unlike most of his Hollywood contemporaries, the rapper was noticeably mute in voicing his views on the recent US election.  A move which surprised many given his publicly declared desires to run for office in 2020.

True to form, it was only a matter of time before Yeezy sounded off.

And he used the launch of the second leg of his ‘Saint Pablo Tour’ in California to share his view that Donald Trump is a “genius.”

During one of many rants at the show, he added that while he didn’t vote, he would have voted for the US’ president elect.

As if her television production company, multiple series on NBC including ‘Shades of Blue’ and a forthcoming reality talent show, and yet-titled new album don’t keep her busy enough, Jennifer Lopez reminds us all that she’s the hardest working woman in show business by showing off her new shoe line.

The 47-year-old singer/dancer/actress took to December’s ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ to shed light on her latest foray into footwear, a collaboration with designer Giuseppe Zanotti.

“People really associate me with sparkle and a little bit of street edge and things like that,” she says. “I wanted to make sure the collection had that, but then some [styles] feel very glam and high-end fashion.”

If you thought sultry singer/songwriter Jhene Aiko “exposed the freak” on her multi-platinum ‘Pose To Be’ bop with Omarion and Chris Brown, the sexual expressions that line her new song, ‘Maniac,’ make ‘eating the groceries’ look tame.

Mariah Carey‘s new docu-series was initially billed as chronicling her world tour and wedding to billionaire James Packer. But with the latter now a bust, it appears focus will instead turn to the events that led up to their explosive split.

Due to hit screens on December 4th, the latest sneak peek of the 8-part special packs drama in earnest.
