Fans went berserk today when Grammy winning rapper Eminem unveiled the cover art for his forthcoming album ‘The Marshall Mathers LP 2’.

Due in stores November 5th – featuring production from longtime collaborator Dr. Dre and Rick Rubin, the newly unveiled album cover shows the same Detroit home Em grew up in featured on ‘The Marshall Mathers LP’.

Led by the top 10 single ‘Berzerk’, music fans are certainly interested in seeing if its parent album will follow suit.  Until we find out in November, tell us:

Are you checking for MMLP2?

Your thoughts? 

She’s the ‘Very Special’ songstress who defied all odds when she revived her once stalling career through VH1’s ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’.

K.Michelle… one of R&B’s few leading ladies.

However, in an interview recently given to Page 31, she spoke honestly on a potential Grammy snub when quizzed on the forthcoming award show- agreeing that while she believes she should be recognised, it wouldn’t surprise her if she wasn’t.

Rihanna joins her fans in telling their story this year, teaming up with members of her Navy to create the ‘Half of Me‘ documentary, a piece that digs a little deeper into their well publicised relationships to find those who truly believe her to be an inspiration.

Peep all of ‘Half’ below!

‘TKO’ just may be the most apt title for the latest Justin Timberlake/Timbaland combo to surface on the web.

Acting as the latest gem to be lifted from his September 30th due album ’20/20 Experience Pt 2.’, the 7 minute long new track makes its debut after hours of teasers lifted to Timberlake’s Instagram building buzz for its arrival.

Reminiscent of everything they’ve ever done the duo’s 2006 hit ‘My Love’ meets ‘Chop Me Up’, the up-tempo Urban groove certainly packs a punch but does it stand a fighting chance for Billboard glory (unlike its ‘Take Back the Night’ predecessor)?

Is there anything Jessie J cannot sing?

If you think the answer is “yes”, then you sure haven’t heard her amazing covers of Rihanna‘s ‘We Found Love and Chris Brown‘s ‘Fine China’.  Now, it seems the songstress has her eyes on slaying another of pop’s most recent top hits.

In heavy promotion of her newest album ‘Wild’, Miss J dropped by BBC Radio 1′s Live Lounge today to lend an emotional rendition of Taylor Swift‘s ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ – swiftly turning the song from a whiny pop mid-tempo to an acoustic soul session.

Did she do it justice?  We think so.  But, judge for yourself…

A mere 4 days separate fans of NBC’s ‘The Voice’ from the premiere of its season 5.

After a brief stint with pop stars Usher and Shakira occupying judges seats, the original gang featuring Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green, and Adam Levine are set to return to kick of yet another season of the top rated talent search.

With just a few days ago, you can expect to see much of the foursome on promo overdrive as they build anticipation for the show.  One such stop came in the form of a visit to Leno from Xtina last night.  Did you miss it?  See it below:

Renown for being consistently inconsistent, Rihanna arrived in China’s Macau recently to fulfil one her ‘Diamonds World Tour‘s few Asian dates.

Though we’d still say she’d benefit from attending the ‘Mrs.Carter Show’ armed with a note pad and pen, her live renditions of hits ‘S&M‘, ‘Only Girl In The World’ and ‘Don’t Stop The Music’ saw her employ a little effort, resulting in a fun outcome.

Will she ever be good as Beyonce or Ciara?

No.

Is the performance below worth watching?

Yes!

Saturday the 14th brought with it ‘For Sisters Only’, the empowering event which drew the likes of Tamar Braxton, Ciara and Kelly Rowland to Atlanta to rock out as performing acts.

Honest. Emotive. Gripping.

These, being just three words to describe Beyonce‘s delivery of ‘4′s ‘I Care’ in Sao Paulo last week, performed to the star’s Brazilians fans with a passion so many hope to hear on her forthcoming studio album.

Watch the ‘Gift From Virgo’ performer give it her all and then some after the jump!

 ‘When the Queen come in town, everything shut down.’

In the event you haven’t seen all there is to see from Beyonce‘s critically adored Sao Paulo ‘Mrs.Carter Show’ set, consider us the enablers feeding your Bey addiction.

You guessed it…we’ve unearthed more footage from the sold out show, showcasing just what the good people of Brazil were treated to when the Pop royal hit the stage.

October 15th may mark the release of Mary J.Blige‘s new Christmas album, ‘A Mary Christmas’, but that hasn’t stopped the ‘Be Without You’ belle from releasing one of its numbers a little early to date.

A cover of Donny Hathaway‘s classic ‘This Christmas‘, some may agree that Blige’s vocal lacks the feeling of joy and euphoria the cut’s lyrics should have forced out of her, but will still make for an enjoyable listen for any hoping to get in the Holiday spirit well before December.

It seems Britney Spears & Miley Cyrus have more in common than their manager, Larry Rudolph.

Indeed, while Spears stands celebrated for her premium on stage skill during her peak, yesterday saw her reveal that she relates to Cyrus– oft bashed for her ‘cheap’ but successful attention seeking tactics.

Britney’s estimation of the troubled starlet below…
