Cop a gander of Shakira!

The Pop stunner serves pose aplenty a-front of Billboard Magazine‘s latest issue.

Currently coaching on The Voice, the singer is gearing up for the release of her self-titled LP – which hits stores on March 25th.

Preceded by moderate hit ‘Can’t Remember To Forget You (ft. Rihanna)’, the album boasts production from the likes of Sia, Stevie Mac, and Ina Wroldsen.

Are you excited for Shaki’s new album?

Directed by Salim Akil and penned by Kenny Smith, season 7 of BET‘s ‘The Game‘ kicked off in spectacular fashion on March 4th, marking the first serving of the show since September 3rd 2013.

The above, facts any familiar with the series will already be aware of.

However, what these fans may not know, is that their support of the series helped it to pull in a viewing figure that made it the highest viewed cable show of the night, beating the likes of MTV’s ‘Teen Mom’ FOX‘s ‘Family Guy’ and ABC‘s ‘Pretty Liars.’

Now find out why members of the general public have cited R&B royal Brandy as the driving force behind the season’s success below!

…and the claws are out!

While in Sydney, Australia to promote her ‘Prismatic’ world tour, Katy Perry touched down at the ‘Sunrise’ TV show for an interview some are billing her most ‘giving’ to date.

‘Giving’, as it’s seen her ruffle the feathers of the fan bases behind Pop icon Mariah Carey and ‘23′ sensation Miley Cyrus, who has taken to Twitter today to respond to remarks Perry made about her while on the show.

Her problem with the ‘I Kissed a Girl’ singer? Well, when quizzed on the kiss they ‘shared’ during the Los Angeles showing of Cyrus’ ‘Bangerz’ tour, which saw Perry pull away when the ‘Wrecking Ball’ belle attempted to “go deeper.”

Now peep Cyrus’ scathing response below!

Despite arguably being her strongest body of work since 2009’s ‘The Fame Monster‘, there’s no doubt Lady GaGa‘s latest LP ‘ARTPOP‘ is paying the price for sins committed by 2011’s ‘Born This Way.’

Indeed, for an album that sought to celebrate humanity, ‘Born’ stood as anything but human, serving songs smothered in well-meaning but poorly executed themes and production that quite literally stripped the ‘life’ out of the star’s voice. This, forcing the general public into the arms of her ‘simpler’ contemporaries, whose shameless brand of generic proved to be far more appealing than what she had to offer at the time.

Fast forward to day and ‘ARTPOP‘ is under-performing, perhaps struggling to win back the crowd its predecessor’s stifling sound had scared away…but only on album’s front.

For today, after reports that its supporting tour was suffering a similar fate, entertainment company ‘Live Nation’ has come forward to set the record straight.

Mariah Carey may stand tall as one of Pop’s highest selling entertainers, but it seems not even she could brave the force that is Katy Perry this year, watching the star pull the rug from beneath her heels with her new single ‘Dark Horse.’

Hitler vs Churchill.

Lincoln vs Davis.

Rihanna vs….the microphone.

Yes, since the dawn of time, the world has witnessed many an epic battle- changing the course of history with every strike launched to stifle the opposition. Alas, while the first two ‘feuds’ find themselves well and truly over, the latter continues on, reaching dangerous new heights in the city of Paris hours ago.

Indeed, none could have predicted what was to happen when bum-note hitter Rihanna came face to face with her sworn enemy outside Chanel‘s fashion week showing, setting the scene for a showdown it’s unlikely to ever forget.

For, after striking fear into the hearts of many a mic with her voice, this time saw her do just that with her hands…catching the black tool by complete surprise!

So as to promote her stint on the show, the budding actress (who is currently embroiled in a bitter feud with Real Housewives of Atlanta cast-mate Kenya Moore), stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Jarringly, Jimmy didn’t delve into the drama that has kept Leakes in the headlines of late. However, the fun-filled chat still brought the LOL’s, as we’re sure Ms. Leakes’ stint on ”Stars’ will too.
