Uh oh!  We told you guys this was guaranteed to get messy.

After pop songstress Ke$ha rocked the net this morning by unveiling news of a lawsuit against longtime music collaborator/producer Dr. Luke alleging sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, the hitmaking producer was forced to field off a few attacks of his own via social media.

Tired of the punishment, it appears he is looking to save his name by clapping back at the ‘Die Young’ diva.  Citing defamation of character and extortion, he claims that all of Ke$ha’s allegations are false and are ultimately a ploy to get out of her contract.

Ke$ha said it best herself:  this sh*t’s about to blow.  Read his statement below and tell us who you believe:

Christina Aguilera is heading back to ‘The Voice’!

After putting her work on the show on hold to commit to mommy duties, the ‘Mi Reflejo‘ singer is to return to the NBC singing contest, before the release of her Urban-kissed new album.

Her return to the series for its eighth season will mark the first time she has worked on it alongside Pharrell Williams, who joined the series to replace the axed CeeLo Green, and will see her reclaim her position from singer Gwen Stefani, with whom she shares a manager.

‘Blow’ beauty Ke$ha has blown headlines into a whirlwind this morning with reports that she is suing longtime music mentor/producer Dr. Luke for sexual assault and battery.

While the past year has seen the singer in headlines for everything but music (see: eating disorder, rehab, etc), her mom – Patricia Serbert – launched a campaign of sorts against the hitmaking producer claiming that it was his fault her daughter’s life was so troublesome.

Now, in a lawsuit obtained by multiple media outlets, it looks like Ke$ha is ready to substantiate those claims.

With K. Michelle‘s new single ‘Love ‘Em All’ flying the flag for her forthcoming sophomore album, That Grape Juice caught up with the outspoken star who readily dished on the project and the plans she’s put in place to see it soar.

Ever-candid, the soulful chanteuse revealed a unique strategy that will see her pair the LP with out-of-the-box visuals and work different songs at different genre formats – including Country. She also waxed honest about her upcoming VH1 reality show ‘K. Michelle: My Life’ (which kicks off next month)

That isn’t all, though. For, true to form, Michelle served up LOL’s aplenty – particularly when detailing her issues with Lil Kim and Elle Varner, the latter of whom she appeared open to burying the hatchet with.

Never a dull moment with K Michelle. Check out our exclusive interview above!

Zero damns when given by rapper Snoop Dogg recently, when he took to ‘Instagram’ to mock ‘Fancy’ lyricist Iggy Azalea.

Slamming her with this pic after she told a photographer that she hoped he contracted the deadly Ebola virus, Dogg‘s fans soon learned that the usually sweet Azalea is anything but when disrespected, blasting the rapper for his supposedly duplicitous nature.

Unfortunately for her, Dogg has now clapped back at her clap back today, revealing that he wishes she would take aim at him again.

Why the babe from down under may not want it with the West Coast hit maker?

They may have succeeded in turning Iggy Azalea into a household with moves made for the single ‘Fancy‘, but it’s pretty apparent Def Jam weren’t as successful when tasked with promoting Mariah Carey‘s latest studio album ‘Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse.’

For, for one reason or another, the album failed to fly once it hit stores earlier this year, seeing the singer left with her lowest selling album of her career.

Now, the CEO of her label has weighed in on the release, revealing just why he feels the project did what it did.

Roller-coaster.

If there’s any phrase that best captures the recent years of Alexandra Burke‘s career, it’d be exactly that. Roller-coaster.

The X Factor winner has triumphed with a number of chart-topping smashes; yet since parting ways with Simon Cowell and her subsequent record label after that, her journey has been one filled with both promising highs and challenging hurdles.

In an open letter to fans, the vocal powerhouse revealed that while she’s gearing up to release a new EP – it’ll be without the shepherding of former Def Jam juggernaut Kevin Liles. The exec and his KWL team, who manage the likes of Trey Songz, had been working with Burke on her much anticipated US debut. However, she has confirmed that they have now gone their separate ways.
