Is Lady Luck beefing with Nicole Scherzinger? Because, we’re here wondering when the former Pussycat Doll will catch a break. If ever.

As reported at the tail of last year, the talented star inked a lucrative global deal with Sony Music – which sees her signed to their subsidiaries RCA and Epic in the UK and US respectively.

The first album offering from the partnership, ‘Big Fat Lie’, was released in the UK this week and it was hoped The-Dream and Tricky Stewart produced set would deliver commercially.

However, when the Official UK Album Chart was revealed today it brought with it the news that the LP only scrapped a position in the lower level of the top 20.

If you haven’t been under a rock for the last ten years, then you’ve probably had the fortune of the name J. Moss crossing your ears at some point.  With a bevy of hits under his name that include ‘We Must Praise,’ ‘Praise on the Inside,’ ‘Psalm 150,’ and more, the multi-talented singer/songwriter/producer has also penned some memorable numbers for others – namely for famous cousins Karen Clark Sheard, Dorinda Clark Cole, and Kierra Sheard, just to name a few.

Now, as reported here, after kicking the year off with a greatest hits package, Moss is stepping back to center stage with ‘Grown Folks Gospel.’  Led by singles ‘Fall At Your Feet’ and ‘Alright Ok,’ fans ready to get their hands on new music from the gospel crooner (like us) anxiously await its November 25th release date.

Until then, get into the music video for ‘Alright Ok’ below and catch Moss live in action at this years ‘For Sisters Only’ (FSO) event in Atlanta:

Brand Iggy Azalea is booming.

The rapper isn’t letting her “on the rise” status stop her from making big, bold moves.

For, it has been announced that the the ‘Beg For It’ femcee has teamed up with shoe maker Steve Madden to launch her own line of shoes.

A major coup, the pairing of the two is yet another endorsement to add to Azalea’s growing list. Indeed, just last week it was revealed that the 23-year-old and basketball player boyfriend Nick Young (of the LA Lakers) are the new “faces” of department store Forever 21.

The feat lends support to Def Jam’s declaration that they’re committed to pushing Iggy’s brand aggressively in the months and years ahead.

Keen to share what she’s been cooking up, Ms. I-GG-Y took to Instagram to preview what her line will look like.

Check out the snaps and what the starlet had to say about them below…
