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.

ABC‘s new freshman comedy ‘Black-Ish’ has debuted with quite the bang. A coup that will no doubt have its lead stars Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross smiling today.

For, despite ample debate surrounding the show – which follows a family’s struggle to gain a sense of cultural identity while living in a predominantly white, middle-class neighborhood – its premiere ratings have been a resounding success.

Yesterday brought with it the unfortunate news that rapper Wiz Khalifa and wife of one-year Amber Rose are divorcing after just one year of marriage.

Naturally in the absence of specifics, speculation has been rife as to what caused the couple – who have one child together – to break-up.

Well, seemingly fed up with the muddying of her name, former model-turned-aspiring actress Rose took to Twitter today to provide clarity and drop a bombshell in the process.

Jennifer Hudson‘s third album ‘JHUD’ landed in stores this week and the singer is working hard on the promotional trail in support of the set.

After making an impressive stop on The Breakfast Club yesterday, the ‘Dreamgirls’ star paid a visit to The Wendy Williams Show this afternoon to talk music, motherhood, and, of course, hot topics.

Watching this brought a warm smile to our face. For, Jennifer has a great personality. Yet, this very fact jars somewhat; because, had she hit the interview circuit earlier and shone in this way, perhaps the all-important first-week predictions would be saying more than they are.

Like, in retrospect, (from where we’re standing) it would have benefited the project far more had she embarked on a press tour and shown more of “this” than the countless stage performances for an audience that are still getting to know who she is and what she’s about.

Anyway, peep the fun after the jump…
