Brand Vivica A. Fox just broadens with every year it seems.  Already conquering comedy and drama on the big screen as well as launching her own hair extension line, Miss Fox is now ready for a reality T.V. takeover!

Reports have surfaced the ‘Two Can Play That Game’ actress has plans to play with a few unsuspecting victims on her new Lifetime series called ‘Prank My Mom’.  Fashioned after MTV‘s hit Ashton Kutcher-led series ‘Punk’d’, Fox will host the hidden camera show created to help kids play practical jokes on their mothers.

With previews set for Thursday, Sept. 27 and Thursday, October 4th (after ‘Project Runway’), the series’ official premiere is set for Tuesday, October 9th!

Will you be watching ‘Prank My Mom’?

Despite a decade long-tenure on the urban pop amassing a collection of hits, it proved that the 5th time was the charm for ‘Bottom’s Up’ beau Trey Songz‘ attempts for the top spot.

Indeed, ‘Chapter V’ (the singer’s latest effort) was his first to see his name written atop Billboard’s 200.  And, with an accompanying U.K. top 10 showing to match, Songz’ brings his promo efforts to this side of the pond to keep the project afloat.

In a recent interview with our friends at DigitalSpy, the opinionated maestro not only gave fans info on what to expect from the project, but also gave his 2 cents on Nicki Minaj‘s rumored ‘Idol’ gig and (once again) reminded us of how much he is eyeing a duet with global superstar Beyonce.

Hear this and more after the jump:

One of the most successful songs of all-time, Mariah Carey‘s 2005 hit ‘We Belong Together’ is undoubtedly a classic. Hence, it was only fitting that one R&B’s most revered voices – in the form of  Joe – was picked to perform the song at last night’s BMI Urban Awards.

Watch as Carey’s ‘Thank God I Found You’ comrade soars like only he can below…

As one of the nation’s brightest stars, Rita Ora in many respects has become an national treasure in Kosovo.

For all her vocal prowess, Mariah Carey also serves as one of the music industry’s most seasoned and successful songwriters; a status which earned her the Icon Award last night at the BMI Urban Awards in Los Angeles.

The star-studded affair saw the likes of Fantasia and Joe celebrate the 42 year old diva with rendition of some of her biggest hits – including ‘Hero’ and ‘We Belong Together’.

Check out more pics from the night below. What’s more, That Grape Juice were in the house at the event, so be sure to keep it locked for exclusive red carpet interviews.

Last year saw Cheryl Cole at the centre of one showbiz’s biggest stories. Indeed, after ample hype, the singer signed up to judge on the season premiere of The X Factor USA only to be unceremoniously dumped one episode in.

Since then, the Girls Aloud star has focussed on strengthening her brand on home-soil – with varying results. For, while comeback single ‘Call My Name’ serves as one the biggest UK singles of the year, its housing album ‘A Million Lights’ and follow-up singes have underperformed.

In a bid to reverse her so-so fortunes, the 29 year old has headed back to the platform that catapulted her to solo stardom – The X Factor UK.
