With the release of Shakira‘s new self-titled album drawing nearer, the Colombian beauty builds heightened buzz with the roll-out of new promo song ‘Empire’.

The anthemic cut follows official single ‘Can’t Remember To Forget You (ft. Rihanna)’, which folk ironically forget quite quickly.

When one”s star shines as bright as Rihanna“s, one would be right to expect the general public to “turn up” a little upon spotting the singer in public.

However,we doubt the charitable chart chaser anticipated the reaction she scored in Paris hours ago, when she attempted to return to Jardine Matheson“s “Mandarin Oriental Paris”, only to be mobbed by a pack of En plus, vous avez la possibilite de vous essayer a tous les autres jeux de machine a sous gratuite Midasfr. ravenous fans eager to touch the entertainer.

Even for seasoned singers, being compared to the likes of supreme vocalists Whitney Houston and Kim Burrell can be a dangerous pressure.  But, for ‘Sunday Best’ season 2 finalist Latice Crawford, the pressure was not only expected, it was welcomed.

With magnetic melisma, spirited growls, and a spirit-stirring message in tow, this beauty is a pressing reminder that big things do come in small packages.  Chatting exclusively to That Grape Juice, Crawford dished on her debut album (in stores now), its energetic lead single ‘There’, and so much more.

We were so excited to finally sit down with the budding gospel diva.  And, after one look and listen, you’ll see why:

Less than a fortnight after its February 12th release, Mariah Carey‘s latest single ‘You’re Mine‘ has told quite the tale on the current status of the icon’s career.

Indeed, while very little can take away from her classic-smothered discography and the vocal stylings the likes of Beyonce, Christina Aguilera and Ariana Grande have pulled from many a time, ‘Mine’s unfortunate chart run has unearthed a fact the powers that be over at Def Jam now find themselves faced with.

Nobody cares.

How many are sure that they’ve come to this unfortunate conclusion?

Mariah Carey‘s music may not be rocking the singles charts of late, however the premium diva is still banking on her album pulling power.

The 43-year-old’s fourteenth studio LP heads to stores on May 6th, and though preceded by a slew of singles – little had been divulged about the project as a body of work. That is until now.

Ms. Carey-Cannon stopped by New York’s 95.5 WPLJ, where she lifted the lid on interesting details about the newly untitled LP.

(Sidenote: According to Mimi, the album is no longer named ‘The Art Of Letting Go’ due to the leak of the title to the press. Of course, it’s nothing to do with the single of the same name tanking. We digress…)  

Revealed during the singer’s candid chat with host Ralphie Aversa was info on collaborators, the project’s recording process, newly recorded songs, and much more.

The tea awaits after the jump…

Before TLC‘s T-Boz was treated to a round of stings by Beyonce’s faithful #Beyhive, the week saw actress Garcelle Beauvais swarmed by a barrage of Twitter attacks following (what were perceived to be) disparaging remarks about the ‘Drunk In Love’ diva.

Indeed, as reported here, Beauvais took to our friends at HelloBeautiful to say:

“I love Beyonce. But, I think there has to be a fine line where you have to take responsibility for what you do. I think it’s good to be sexy…It doesn’t have to be everything showing out grinding, all of the time.”

Igniting a social media onslaught as a result, the actress – best known for her role as ‘Fancy’ on ‘The Jamie Foxx Show’ – took to Twitter over the weekend to clear up the confusion:

They may have parted ways, but it would appear Chris Brown and former manager Tina Davis have business together that is far from finished.

Alas, despite the positive strides the star has made towards happier ground in recent months, he now finds himself battling Davis this year…accusing the star-making power player of sabotaging his career.

Her alleged weapon of choice?
