March 5th marked the return of ‘Shine America‘s ‘The Face‘, seeing 12 aspiring models compete to become the face of a ‘major brand’, with the help of experts in the field.

One of these, being supermodel Naomi Campbell.

Now watch what happens when the star bumps into ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Nene Leakes while filming a scene for the modelling competition, shortly before the latter gears up to rock ABC’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’!

Hilarity above!

Despite releasing her current single ‘It Won’t Stop’ last year,  singer-songwriter Seven Streeter shows no signs of slowing the promo campaign for the cut.

The rising star, who is signed to Chris Brown‘s CBE label (by way of Atlantic Records), stopped by ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ last night to perform the Urban hit – which is lifted from debut EP ‘Call Me Crazy…But’.

Watch Streeter strut her stuff after the jump…

Patti-Labelle-That-Grape-Juice-She-Is-Diva

Thursday night saw some of Soul’s stars align in Washington D.C, where they joined forces for President Obama‘s 12th ‘In Performance at the White House‘ series.

This time, it was contributions made by the ‘Women of Soul’ that were celebrated, boasting performances from Janelle Monae, Melissa Etheridge, Jill Scott, Patti Labelle and Aretha Franklin.

Unfortunately, though nothing could taint the night’s celebratory vibe, a backstage incident between Franklin and Labelle threatened to do so, when the pair came face to face…on camera.

What happened next?

Perhaps a close relative of her very own ‘Bad Girls‘, M.I.A rocked the worlds of many a Beyonce fan last night, when she teased a remix of the star’s Urban smash ‘Flawless.’

Coming after her departure from Jay Brown‘s ‘Roc Nation‘, the remix was previewed via the performer’s ‘Instagram‘ account, where fans took to in their thousands to spin the jam!

Is Justin Bieber rubbishing the role R&B singer Usher plays in his career?

Unfortunately for the ‘Confessions’ singer, the answer to that question is…’Yeah.’ For, after seeing his bodyguard accused of attacking a photographer last year, last week saw him arrive at his deposition where he quizzed on the matter.

It was there, perhaps to the horror of the pair’s mutual mentor LA Reid, did a ‘camera-aware’ Bieber showcase a side of his personality Olivia Pope herself would be hard pressed to tidy.

Why? Watch him mock, sneer and insult his way through the deposition below…

Despite an impressive Billboard debut with their inaugural joint album ‘Three Kings’ and a Grammy nod, R&B crooners TGT (Tank, Ginuwine, Tyrese) have been plagued with ongoing breakup rumors since their trouble union began.

What certainly won’t do much to cool those rumors is the premiere of Tank’s new solo single ‘You’re My Star’. Reportedly the first single from his sixth studio album ‘Stronger’ (due later this year), the tune surfaced online today as the ‘One Man’ maestro continues (by his lonesome) to serve as the opening act for fellow R&B crooner Jamie Foxx on a Stateside tour.

Does this signal the end of TGT?  Either way, get into Tank’s new solo tune below and tell us what you think:

Kandi-JET

Season six of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta has been the show’s most action-packed yet — thanks largely to the narrative of Kandi Burruss, boyfriend-turned-fiance Todd Tucker, and of course, Mama Joyce.

Viewers of the Bravo hit have watched with shock, awe, and open jaws as the singer and businesswoman has tried to navigate through the drama that is her personal life.

Still, in pressing on and promoting the upcoming DVD release of her aptly titled musical ‘A Mother’s Love’, Burruss styles and profiles a-front of JET magazine’s April 2014 issue.

Peep the cover above and excerpts below…

On Her Hustle Factor

“When I speak about anything on camera I want to accomplish it before we finish taping. I am a ‘do what I say’ person. I want people to know I’m not a [phony].  I hate when people on reality shows mention how they want to do this and that, but you never hear of it again”

On Fiance, Todd Tucker:

“I love that Todd is affectionate and relationship-oriented. But he’s also a leader and a planner, and because of his production background he makes me a better businesswoman.”

On Mama Joyce:

“When my mother was younger it was all about getting a man to be a provider. She leans toward a man who is financially more well-off than the dude who is just a good guy. I’ve dated guys who are more successful than me, and my mom is like, no matter what he does wrong, you have to work it out.”

Those ‘Fresh Prince Of Bel Air’ syndication checks may continue to line the pockets of the show’s stars 18 years after it wrapped, yet that hasn’t halted the hustle of Tatyana Ali.

The actress, who played loveable Ashley Banks on the hit sitcom, stopped by The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 today.

There, she dished on her upcoming movie ‘November Rules’, as well new music. Perhaps, most interestingly though, the 35-year-old revealed that she was glad when ‘The Fresh Prince’ wrapped.

5,616,000.

The above, as Bruno Mars should already be aware of, is the number of units moved by his new album, ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’, worldwide.

It’s these sales figures, coupled with revenue pulled from its supporting tour and the star’s other lucrative ventures that have earned him a spot on Billboard‘s ‘Music’s Top 40 Money Makers 2014‘ list, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Beyonce, Rihanna and Taylor Swift!

Where the ‘Treasure’ holder ranked?
