For a certain Sweet Brown, the last year saw her become a Pop culture phenomenon when footage of her relaying the story of a fire in a nearby Complex to the outlet, ‘4’, as seen above.

Now, in turning her water into wine, she has signed on to become the new face of ‘Shortline Dental’, capitalizing on her new found fame and hilarious catchphrase, ‘ain’t nobody got time for that’.

It’s finally here!

After sending her fan base into a frenzy upon its confirmation, Beyonce‘s March 2013 cover for ‘Vogue’ Magazine has surfaced today- two days before she attends the 55th Annual Grammy Awards.

A far cry from her scorching GQ outing, her regal cover will serve as fresh support for her forthcoming studio album and its hotly anticipated lead single, which will reportedly hit the world in the coming weeks.

This album, which features contributions from’Use Me’ siren Miguel, will come as the follow up to 2011’s ‘4’, which now boast global sales of over 2 million units worldwide and the R&B #1 single, ‘Love On Top’.

So let us know…

What do you think of the cover?

From politics to the success of models with mics, many talented acts are struggling with the hardship that is the music industry in 2013.

However for R&B icon Toni Braxton, there’s only so much one can take.

During a press stop for her new Lifetime movie ‘Twist Of Faith’ today on Good Morning America, the 8-time Grammy winner shockingly revealed that she is “falling out of love with music” and is considering bowing out of the limelight (musically) for good.

Is it us or are the members from Mary Mary rolling super solo these days?

Last week, sister Erica Campbell was snapped looking somewhat annoyed after a rehearsal with sibling Tina. Yesterday saw the powerhouse pose it up solo (again) at the Essence Black Women In Music gala in Los Angeles.

Erica’s singular showing will do little to quell speculation that internal tensions have the group at breaking point.

As keen appreciators of their music (and weekly WE tv show), we’re hopeful any issues are ironed out pronto. The ladies still have much to give to Gospel and beyond. {Hits ‘Play’ on ‘Shackles’}
