Your thoughts?

When steered by the likes of Diddy, her career blossomed into what would become a short lived but fruitful run atop the Pop scene.

Alas, by way of numerous stunts pulled since being forced to take control of her own ship, Lil Kim has proved that she isn’t the sharpest tool in the box when it comes to business.

In short, she and her current camp are as incompetent as they come.

For, a fortnight after coming under fire for stealing an image posted online and attempting to pass it off as her own, the ever evolving MC has been branded a thief once again this evening.

Why?

An unbelievable story below…

Four months removed since the release, Ciara‘s self titled fifth studio album can now boast of a US Gold single by way of the R&B effort ‘Body Party’ and Hot 100 Top 40 cut in the Dance number ‘I’m Out.’

However, despite the glory they attained in that market, both did very little to push the project internationally, with ‘Party‘s highest position held outside the nation being #43 on Belgium’s Flanders Ultratip Urban chart.

So, just how their predecessor ‘Overdose’  put both cuts to commercial shame?

The answer to that question, below…

Its name? ‘Merry Little Christmas (Without You).’

With a career that’s seen her celebrated for the skill she possesses on stage and on screen, Jennifer Hudson remains one of Hollywood‘s most sought after entertainers…years after rising to fame on FOX’s ‘American Idol.’

Now, as she celebrates the arrival of her new movie ‘Black Nativity’, the ‘Angel’ performer has spoken to  Net-A-Porter‘s ‘The Edit’, dishing on her career thus far, her relationship with Beyonce, and revealing that she did not know what an ‘Oscar’ was until she joined the cast of 2006’s ‘Dreamgirls’.

Her words below…

Promises, promises, promises.

Black Friday came and went, and despite ample assurance – Lil Kim‘s ‘Hardcore 2K13’ mixtape was nowhere in sight.

The latest delay in the increasingly comical episode provoked an onslaught of negativity towards the femcee….from her own fans. Disgruntled, they took to Twitter in their thousands to voice their displeasure at yet another unkept Kim promise – with many wondering aloud if ‘2k13’ will actually be released this year. Or at all.

Hoping to quell the flames with a peace-offering of sorts, the rapper took to her own Twitter in the early hours of this morning to share the tracklist for the free set – which interestingly includes a Miley Cyrus collaboration.

The pint-sized diva also unwrapped a song from the project – titled ‘Kimmy Blanco’.

Check all out after the jump…

Only ‘One More Sleep’ remains before December is upon us. As such, it’s apt that Leona Lewis has unwrapped the video for her single of the same name.

The Holiday groove is lifted from Lewis’ debut festive effort ‘Christmas, With Love’, which hits stores on December 2nd in the UK and a day later in America.

An early taste of Christmas awaits after the jump…
