Pop force Katy Perry continues to live up to that billing with her latest album ‘Prism’.

Given the pronounced promo push behind Lady GaGa‘s ‘ARTPOP’ LP of late, one would be forgiven for forgetting that the project actually arrived last November.

Check out Beyonce!

The premium diva may have wrapped her blockbuster ‘Mrs Carter Show World Tour’, yet she still commands the eyes and ears of the masses – thanks to her chart-topping tunes and her social media hustle.

Taking to Tumblr tonight, the ‘Drunk In Love’ hitmaker shared the shot of herself rocking this eye-grabbing ensemble.

Whatever she’s dressed in, we’re just eager to see Yonce’s next musical move. With her tour wrapped, does the “free time” signal the start of more traditional promo? Is there a new tour on the horizon (seems odd only Europe would get the ‘Beyonce’ live treatment)? Or, shock horror, is she really taking a…break? Time will tell.

Despite airing its final episode more than 15 years ago, ‘Sister Sister’ remains one of the most loved and lauded sitcoms of all time.

From the antics of leads Tia and Tamera Mowry, to the laughs served up by supporting characters Lisa, Ray, and of course Roger, the show set a precedent few have been able to rival.

Still, with both Mowry sisters having blossomed into womanhood and enjoying success in their solo endeavours, a reboot seemed somewhat far-fetched.

Not anymore.

During an interview to promote new show Instant Mom, Tia revealed that she wants to revisit the twins’ on-screen story, going as far as to relay the direction she’d want it to take.

‘Chart News.’

How the industry source ruffled their feathers?

Despite its lead single ‘You’re Mine’ lacking the snap, crackle and pop Mariah singles usually serve in abundance, May 6th will bring with it the launch of its supporting album!

So, as many hope the general public will show it the support its four first singles were never afforded, her fans have some some way to support its predecessor in the last year, forcing it to a Gold tinted milestone.

The film, which was originally released in Canada alone back in 2010, re-tells the narrative of Frankie – an American go-go dancer with a mental disorder. Inspired by a true-life story, the movie relays her struggles to remain her true self while fighting against two alter egos: a seven-year-old child named “Genius” and a Southern white racist  “Alice.”
