It may be September, but we’re already salivating for November?

Why?

Because it brings with it the return of ‘The Real Housewives Of Atlanta’.

A proven must-see, season seven of the Bravo smash looks like it’ll be packing the same brand of “unmissable” – if the latest comments from Kandi Burruss are anything to go by.

The entrepreneur stopped by The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 today with husband Todd Tucker to discuss their play – ‘A Mother’s Love’ – which is now touring the States.

Naturally, the topic of the ”Housewives’ next run came up. And while playing somewhat coy, Burruss did provide a number notable soundbites.

Indeed, she revealed that new addition Claudia Jordan has quite the mouth and has already locked horns with select cast-mates. She also teased a shocking twist in the Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida situation is nigh.

The tea  and more is served after the jump…

It’s hard to believe that today marks eight years (yes, eight) since Fergie unleashed her debut solo album ‘The Duchess’ on the masses.

And while we could go down memory lane and reminisce on the countless jams the multi-Platinum set gave birth to, we’d much rather rejoice at the newest news surrounding the Black Eyed Peas front-woman.

For, according to fresh reports, the 39-year-old is gearing up to release new music…and soon.

Details below…

Ariana Grande continues her all-out push for new album ‘My Everything’.

The aggressive campaign for the budding diva’s sophomore LP counts the cover of Marie Claire‘s October issue as its latest stop.

It goes without saying that the 21-year-old has been everywhere of late. And while such media saturation runs risk of jarring the masses, we’re all for Ms. Grande’s unashamed bid to bolt to the top. Her talent is entirely deserving.

Another day, another Kanye West rant.

After footage surfaced of the Grammy winner demanding that some disabled fans stand up to dance at a recent stop on his world tour, he found himself tunneling through a mountain of damning headlines.

Tired of the slamming, West took to another concert to clear his name.  Giving one of his now infamous on stage rants, the ‘Heartless’ hitmaker asserted his mistaken intention and even claimed to be the victim in the scenario.

Do you agree with his stance?  Tell us below:

It’s mass agreed that Naomi Campbell is fashion royalty. That, for many, is undeniable.

However, the diva’s new W Magazine cover is markedly more polarizing.

For while some sects are hailing her appearance on the October 2014 cover of the upscale publication stunning, others have questioned the whereabouts of her arms and the choice of make-up.

What do you think? Wow or Why?

Your thoughts?

It may be Virgo season, but there is no newcomer’s whose debut is more anxiously anticipated than Tinashe‘s ‘Aquarius.’

Kicked off by the Schoolboy Q-assisted ‘2 On’ and ‘Pretend’ featuring A$AP Rocky, the high octane performer is looking to pour a fluid on that fire by dropping yet another tune – ‘Feels Like Vegas.’

Produced by serial hitmaker Stargate, the tune is set to join ‘2 On,’ ‘Pretend,’ and 15 other gems aboard the project’s October 7th debut.  Ready to see what else Miss T has to offer?

‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ hitmaker Snoop Dogg is in hot water after slamming a commenter on Instagram with a slew of homophobic slurs. While the story remains unclear on what catalyzed the Doggfather’s rant, what is certainly clear is that he was playing approximately no games with the person his fiery commentary was directed to.

Uploading a photo of the person in bed with another young man, the caption that accompanied the post set Instagram ablaze and prompted Snoop to later delete the photo.

Of course, he did so much too late:
