Jason Derulo brings dance to the forefront in the video for new single ‘Get Ugly.’

The high-octane cut is the latest single to be lifted from the singer’s fourth studio album ‘Everything Is 4.’

Since ‘Want To Want Me’s Platinum certified success, the 25-year-old has been trying navigate another hit and hasn’t quite managed to.

Armed with an ‘Uptown Funk’ 80’s esque video, can Derulo dominate on his current swing of the bat?

Serena Williams has made history slaying tennis courts the world over and now she’s taking the same approach with her magazine covers.

The bat swinging icon appears a-front of Sports Illustrated‘s newest cover – celebrating her title of “sportsperson of the year.”

It’s an honor more than deserved; for, despite losing out on the much-touted Grand Slam, the 34-year-old nabbed a number of wins this year, including the Wimbledon championship this Summer.

More power to her. Undeniably, one of the greats.

Confusion, clutter, and calamity. Rihanna‘s roll-out of new album ‘ANTI’ has been defined by all over the last year. And the mess shows no signs of letting up – despite rare glimpses of hope over the last few months.

In a bid to put a year’s worth of poorly performing singles, start-stop release strategies, and all around disaster behind her, Rih announced the title of the LP and revealed its cover back in October. She also confirmed a tour with actual dates to boot.

However, it’s now been revealed that the model hasn’t even finished recording –  a fact which puts the plausibility of a 2015 arrival into doubt.

Rita Ora has ample cause for celebration tonight.

The 25-year-old triumphed on The X Factor finale as Louisa Johnson – the contestant she mentored – nabbed the title of champion in a showdown with duo Reggie N Bollie.

Beyond a stream of stellar solo performances, it was Johnson’s duet with Ora last night that helped seal her win.

Together, the pair tackled Jennifer Holliday‘s ‘Dreamgirls’ classic ‘And I Am Telling You.’

A classically dramatic song, the track is considered by most to be a vocal standard.

How did Rita and Louisa do? Watch below and let us know…

Jeremih is the latest R&B male to take aim at his record label this week.

Following in the footsteps of R. Kelly and August Alsina (who both made headlines for slamming their teams), the 28-year-old took to Twitter to vent his frustrations with Def Jam.

His grievance?

The imprint’s alleged lack of support of his new album ‘Late Nights.’

No longer biting his tongue, the singer directly addressed the issue and provided additional context.

Adele just blew the roof off London’s Wembley Arena moments ago when she rocked The X Factor UK final with a seismic showing of hit single ‘Hello.’

Both the track and its housing album ’25’ have taken long-term residence at the top of the charts since their respective releases, meaning the performance was by no means “needed” for promotional purposes. Rather, Adele’s showing on the show is very much a coup for creator Simon Cowell – who also hosted Coldplay and One Direction on the stage.

Make no mistake, though, it was all about Adele – who delivered and then some.
