‘V‘ magazine sets Pop culture alight in spectacular fashion this year, calling on ‘True Blue‘ icon Madonna and ‘Dark Horse’ beauty Katy Perry to rock its ‘Summer 2014′ edition with a collaborative spread.

Exciting, right?

Elevator. What elevator?

The Knowles-Carter clan continue to put on a united front following the headlines generated by “that” video last week.

Beyonce, Jay Z, Solange, and matriarch Tina Knowles were snapped posing it up together in New Orleans over the weekend.

While some will inevitably scoff at what “could” be deemed damage control, we take on a slightly less cynical stance. Families have problems and families overcome them. Perhaps that’s the case here.

More than anything, though, we’re most eager to see everyone get back to their day job. Beyonce’s blockbuster sales have meant a more laxed approach to promo – which is great for her, but not so much for her adoring Hive. Here’s hoping the weeks and months ahead bring with them more televised performances and unexpected surprises.

Billboard Icon Jennifer Lopez is hot on the promotional trail for new album ‘A.K.A’.

The fiercely anticipated set serves as the star’s 10th and has garnered buzz thanks to preceding singles ‘I Luh Ya Papi’ and ‘First Love’.

Another of the album’s cuts has also set tongues wagging – the Pitbull assisted ‘Big Booty’.

Produced by Diplo and penned by Chris Brown, the tongue-in-cheek song has commanded much intrigue since the diva dished on it during a recent interview run.

In a bid to whip up heightened excitement, the 44-year-old performed a snippet during her set at Power 106’s Powerhouse 2014 extravaganza over the weekend.

By May’s end, Def Jam starlet Iggy Azalea is set to have a Platinum single on her hands with the ubiquitous ‘Fancy’, currently cruising to sales of 1 million units in the USA.

Alas, it would seem that the performer’s profile-boosting stint at last night’s ‘Billboard Music Awards’ has seen some members of the general public question the media’s support of the rapper, despite seeing her admit to publishing-and subsequently apologise for- tweets many deemed to both racist and homophobic.

What went down last night?
