It’s the kind of press every artist hopes for ahead of an album release. Yet, for a certain Justin Timberlake, it’s a reality.

The stage blazer’s latest single ‘Mirrors’ has held steady at the top of the Official UK Singles Chart for a second week, giving a major boost to its parent LP ‘The 20/20 Experience’. Due out on March 18th (and a day later in the US), the set has also spawned UK and US top ten in ‘Suit & Tie’.

In other JT news, it seems he’s not letting Kanye West‘s recent critique slide.

Crazy might be one word to describe what you’re about to watch.

The way we see it, ‘America’s Next Top Model‘s 19th season was its best yet, thanks to its refreshed judging panel and embracing of social media.

The thing is though, that when you’re a perfectionist like Ms. Tyra Banks, one upping yourself just isn’t an option- its a necessity. So, as she continues work on its 20th season, she hit ‘ET‘ with fellow judge  Rob Evans to explain its premise, which will feature a battle of the sexes.

Sometimes, over here at TGJ HQ, we find ourselves faced with a question that we’ve never been able to truly answer…‘are we too harsh on Rihanna?‘.

Indeed, while we’re sure she’s too busy working the streets of ‘Instagram’ to care what we have to think of her, it’s a question we struggle to answer every time we put finger to keyboard to post on the star.

Well…that was until today.

For, in confirming our stance that the ‘We Found Love‘ star’s cause is nothing more than a long running ‘ha ha’ when stripped of the fashion, videos and Premium production staff, she has been forced to cancel a date on her ‘Diamonds World Tour‘ just one night after its Buffalo launch.

Oprah Winfrey‘s ‘OWN‘ has seen quite a turnaround in ratings since its troubled debut.  Rocking ratings with hit series like ‘Oprah’s Master Class’, ‘Oprah’s Next Chapter’, and ‘Iyanla: Fix My Life’, O is looking to continue her good streak by introducing new reality segments – namely ‘Life With LaToya’.

Yes, indeed we are talking about LaToya Jackson.  The Jackson-family black sheep has seen her career overcast by a number of misfortunes including poor album sales, poor performances, and poor public reception.  Jackson is looking to change that however by taking control (no pun intended) and center stage – for once not at the expense of a sibling.

Set to debut Saturday, April 13th at 10:30 pm ET on OWN, get into its trailer above and tell us your thoughts?

Finally!

While this may be hard to believe, we’ve finally found a performance pulled from Rihanna‘s first ‘Diamonds‘ outing that sees her deliver a decent vocal.

Channeling her inner Islander, the Grammy winning belle took the grand stage to perform the Elijah Blake penned jam ‘No Love Allowed’, packing the power and conviction other performances from the show lacked.
