Little Mix extend their lead as Pop’s most promising girl group once again today, bringing nothing but visual heat with the release of their new video for the single, ‘Salute.’

Co-written by all four members of the group, the jam already enjoys a UK peak position of #182 on the ‘Official Singles Chart’, but will no doubt rise to dizzying heights once it drops on June 1st 2014.

Why their US counterparts should take a leaf out of their visual book?

Catching up in the same week she released her new single ‘First Love’, and after Rihanna dominated the night by picking up more awards than any other nominated act, the ladies struck a pose as the latter continues work on her eighth studio album, set to be released NO I.D’s Def Jam later on this year!

Your thoughts?

It was only a matter of time.

Pop forces Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber share a manager in media mogul Scooter Braun.

As such, it’s little surprise that the young talents have teamed up (or been paired up) in support of Grande’s sophomore effort.

Preceded by bonafide smash ‘Problem’, the LP may now boast a Bieber feature — if the pair’s exchange on Twitter today is anything to go by:

thank u justin!! secrets out now “@justinbieber: congrats @arianagrande on your number 1 song. #arianabieberduet ?? http://t.co/0tI7nRvW8y”

— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) May 2, 2014

There, of course, remains the possibility that the duet could be for Justin’s new project. Still, whichever way it’s diced or sliced, it’d be a good look for them both. Right?

UK Gladiators have ample cause to celebrate this week. For, ‘Scandal’ has found a new home.

The popular political drama was at the center of many headlines early this week when More4, a Channel 4 spin-off station, confirmed that it would be dropping the ABC hit after airing it for two seasons.

Alas, an outcry of sorts ensued – with some cultural commentators making a number of insightful correlations; most notably between the lack of “color” on British screens and how the so-so promotion for the Kerry Washington fronted show in the UK almost guaranteed its axing.

Whatever the case, British fans of the series needn’t fret anymore. Because, an even bigger network has pouched the rights to air the show.
