Talk about cute!

Word has it Destiny Child alums Beyoncé & Kelly Rowland dropped by Miami’s famed Sing Sing karaoke bar Tuesday evening where they surprised two unsuspecting karaoke singers.

Jay Z, Timbaland, and a host of others were reportedly in the building as well when Bey arrived and overheard one of the room’s occupants singing her 2011 hit ‘Party’.

Little did they know, the party had just begun for them.  See more pics below:

Pitbull seems to have found the key to success – co-stars!  Just ask Enrique Iglesias, Christina Aguilera, Ne-Yo, and Jennifer Lopez as they’ve all assisted or been assisted by the hit-making Latino rapper over the past two years.

Now, in co-star Ke$ha, the pop emcee has found a new chart-topper in ‘Timber’ as reports surfaced today the tune is set to hit #1 upon the Billboard Hot 100’s forthcoming refreshing tomorrow.

Ousting 4-week champions Eminem & Rihanna‘s ‘Monster’ out of the top spot, ‘Timber’s ascension comes after weeks of playing second fiddle to the second rap-pop combo from Em & Ri – the follow-up to 2010’s ‘Love the Way You Lie’.  But, will Pit and Ke$h’s run atop the tally be short-lived?

If you ask Katy Perry & Juicy J, the answer may soon be “yes”…

‘Started From the Bottom’ beau Drake started a polarizing war of fans last year when he revealed plans of creating a posthumous album filled with some of the late R&B singer Aaliyah‘s unreleased tracks.

Earning a collective thumbs down from those closest to the fallen star (see: Timbaland, Missy Elliott, Ginuwine, her family), the Torontoian rapper was still set to forge ahead with the project as Aaliyah’s label (run by uncle Barry Hankerson) did offer their approval.

Continued negative public reaction to the album – as recent as last month – had the album’s primary producer Noah “40” Shebib on the fence so much so that he, according to a recent interview with VIBE magazine, has called for Drake to halt the project…indefinitely.

“I was seven songs deep.  [Aaliyah’s] mother saying, “I don’t want this out’ was enough for me. I walked away very quickly.” – Noah Shebib

Cop a gander of Beyonce!

The chart-topping megastar glimmers gold in this freshly unwrapped promo for her new fragrance ‘Rise’.

Set to arrive worldwide next month, the scent will reportedly be backed by a major promotional campaign – one that includes a TV commercial shot by famed director (and frequent King B collaborator) Jake Nava.

The pair’s lengthy list of past collaborations include last year’s Pepsi Commercial, the iconic clip for 2008’s ‘Single Ladies’, and more recently ‘Partition’ from the 32-year’s self-titled visual album. As such, fans are clearly in for a treat.

By no means “just another celebrity fragrance”, Bey’s foray into the world of perfume branding has been wildly successful.

‘Heat’, the star’s first effort, broke a Macy’s sales record with $75,000 in sales in one day. While the singer’s fragrance business has generated $400 million in retail sales. And with WWD reporting that industry insiders estimate ‘Rise’ could hit $25 million in its first year, the future certainly smells divine for the diva’s lucrative side-hustle.

Needless to say, that Beyonce reign just won’t let up!
