Forget Friday’s, it appears all the action takes place Thursday nights on ABC.

For, joining the established hits that are ‘Scandal’ and ‘Greys Anatomy’ is Shonda’s Rhimes’ new freshman series ‘How To Get Away With Murder’.

It all makes for a riveting watch. We’re already hooked!

It’s been a long time coming, but change finally came today for the status of ‘Devious Maids’.

The spicy dramedy, which was created by ‘Desperate Housewives’ maestro Marc Cherry, had been in limbo since its season two climax in July; and with many of its stars taking on other roles, speculation has been rife about the show’s return – or potential lack-there-of.

However, fans of the Lifetime hit can rest easy. For the cable network have officially renewed the series for a third season.

September 30th 2014 marks the spot for Elijah Blake‘s forthcoming EP ‘Drift’, the follow-up to the streaming magnet that was 2012’s ‘Bijoux 22.’

Today, as to whet the appetites of his supporters, the singer has welcomed the release of its buzz bop ‘Strange Fruit‘, a Hip Hop effort dripping in sensuality and armed with slave ritual inspired harmonies far too haunting for even the staunchest of Urban music naysayers to ignore.

Unfamiliar with Blake’s work?

With new album ‘Cheek To Cheek’ battling it out for the top spot, Lady GaGa and Tony Bennett have unwrapped a new live performance from the joint-project to give the set a boost.

GaGa’s take on Jazz classic ‘Bang Bang’ has been “the” talking point of the LP amongst critics and for good reason too. One watch of the star’s rousing rendition of the Cher cut (filmed at the Lincoln Center) provides an emphatic answer for those wondering why.

When it was announced that Shonda Rhimes would “own” ABC’s Thursday night prime-time schedule with a whopping three shows (‘Scandal’, new series ‘How To Get Away With Murder’, and ‘Greys Anatomy’), many lauded praise on the TV writer.

And with the first back-to-back run of the shows having aired last night, the accolades looks set to keep rolling in.

‘R&B Divas: LA‘ star Chrisette Michele may have spent the bulk of its last season feuding with singer Chante Moore, but today has seen her return to what she does best with the release of brand new music!

Bittersweet.

Perhaps that’s what Danity Kane should have christened their third (and presumably final) album.

The set, which was confirmed yesterday to be titled ‘DK3’, is due for release on October 28th – three months after the band imploded amidst ample drama.

And while fans are still licking the wounds of the group’s second split, the LP’s release is clearly being received as the best consolation.

For, just hours after going up for pre-order the ‘Lemonade’ led set has rocketed into the iTunes top 20.

Didn’t they almost have it all?

While fans of Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose are still reeling from news of their divorce proceedings, elsewhere on the music spectrum one of pop’s cutest couples – Jason Derulo & Jordin Sparks – are reportedly no longer seeing sparks in their once hot romance as multiple sources have indicated that the singers are splitsville.

Despite just appearing together at last month’s MTV Video Music Awards, the rumor mill was running over with word that the duo were done.  Initially avoiding the topic all together, it appears the ‘Marry Me’ maestro has added fuel to the fire by indirectly confirming that Jordin won’t be becoming Mrs. Desrouleaux any time soon.
