Even news of Royal Baby #2 proved itself no match for the headline dominator of the week – the woes of Ray Rice.

As readers know, the former Baltimore Ravens’ star has been the talk of the week as footage surfaced of him violently attacking his then-fiancee, Janay, in an Atlantic City elevator.  And, while Mrs. Rice made headlines herself for slamming the media for “embarrassing her” with its extensive coverage of the story, news flooded elsewhere that the running back will no longer see his face gracing NIke or EA Sports (video game) campaigns.

Abruptly removed from the sports giants’ rosters following reports of the attack, all hope may not be lost for Rice.  NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell believes that with good behavior, we may soon see Ray on the football field again.

Fabolous.  With reports of an accompany Stateside tour to support the project kicking off next month, it’s pretty safe to say Ne-Yo is looking to pull out all the stops with his forthcoming release.

The unstoppable Pop princesses that are Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora stopped by ‘Ellen‘s house today, treating the talk show host and her guests to a performance of their smash hit single ‘Black Widow.’

Packing the same live arrangement as their ‘MTV Video Music Awards’, their performance came equipped with a live orchestra and, rather unfortunately, another awful wig sported by the super talented Rita Ora, guilty of ageing her by about five or six years.

Watch the ladies at work (with said wig) below!
