 All aboard Brand Beyonce.

If the above snap is anything to go by, it would appear Pepsi CO’s business dealings with Beyonce are about to get even hotter, with the shooting of a brand spanking new ad.

Surfacing online today, the pic sees the chart force in the middle of a scene, believed to come in aid of Superbowl 2013 , where she will serve as the headlining performer.

If so, it marks the latest campaign the star has whipped up with the company, who signed her on as a spokeswoman over a decade ago.

‘If I Had My Way’ wailer Chrisette Michele is making her way back to radio with the help of G.O.O.D. rapper 2 Chainz.

Enlisting her labelmate for ‘Charades’, Michele moves onto new sonic territory – tapping into autotune soul, if you will.

Lifted from her forthcoming mixtape ‘Audrey Hepburn: The Mixtape’, the December 8th due project will tide fans over until times get ‘Better’ (her forthcoming album).

Until then, see what Michele and co. have cooked up below:

 Well…meow.

‘Quickie’ crooner Miguel has quickly kept the singles coming from his sophomore set ‘Kaleidoscope Dreams‘ – already winning rave reviews for its lead singles ‘Adorn’ and ‘Do You’.

Now, the R&B beau introduces ‘P*ssy Is Mine’ (Live) – the sexually charged fan favorite lifted from that same set.  One of many fiery R&B tunes that helped lead Miguel to his first top 10 debut, see the live performance below that has had tongues wagging…

As reported here, the family of late, great pop icon Whitney Houston is forging forward (supposedly) in her memory with ‘On Our Own’ – a Lifetime reality show set to detail their lives post her passing.

Highlighting their daily happenings (and all the drama that’s ensued since Houston’s death), the show is set to make its premiere this Wednesday via the womens’ network.  Taking to ‘The View’ as one of many stops on their promo rounds, it was a little more than apparent that Babara Walters’ “view” of the Houstons was less than hospitable.

Never one to bite her tongue, the feisty 83-year-old definitely had tongues wagging with this interview (as did the Houston family).  See it all unfold above and below:

Peep these snaps of ‘Prisoner Of Love’ vocalist Mariah Carey, caught in NYC with her daughter Monroe.

Rocking shades, the pretty pair were snapped entering a waiting vehicle without the company of Mariah’s husband Nick and ‘Roe’s twin Roc, enjoying what appeared to be a girl’s day out.

Next year, the icon will release a high end nail polish  line with the folks over at OPI, set to coincide with the release of her hotly anticipated new album, which features the US dance smash ‘Triumphant‘.

For Nicki Minaj detractors, downplaying her success has become…a little hard of late.

Indeed, in what makes the potential comebacks for their favorite acts even tougher, Minaj’s rising commercial pull continues to dwarf the careers of many a lesser act, especially those of the Hip Hop persuasion.

So, just in case the multi-platinum status of her first LP and its follow up weren’t enough to tick them enough, we’re sure the success of UK arena tour will do just that.

A tour, which saw the Rapper hit Manchester to deliver the latest showing of ‘Pink Friday:Reloaded’ to fans at the MEN Arena, which holds a capacity of 21,000.

Cop a gander of Drake!

The Young Money maestro celebrated his 26th birthday early over the weekend, partying it up in Atlanta’s Compound Club. Joined by the likes of Wale, Don Cannon, and his dad (pictured below in the white jacket), the Canadian-bred rapper clearly enjoyed the festivities which precede his actual birthday tomorrow (October 25th).

When the celebrations wrap, we hope work  promptly resumes on Drizzy’s as-yet-untitled third LP, which we can’t wait to hear!

In the meanwhile, peep more pics below…
