Before performing the Closing Ceremony for London’s Paralympic Games, record breaking singer Rihanna took to London’s Soho to nab some fresh artwork…on her torso.

Snapped leaving a tattoo parlor in the city, Fenty caught the attentions of fans and shutterbugs alike as she made her way back into her car, days after picking up the ‘Video Of The Year’ award at MTV’s Video Music Awards Thursday night.

Quarrels of the crooners!

As fans know, ‘Sexy Love’ singer Ne-Yo wasn’t getting much love from his former ‘The Way You Move’ co-star Trey Songz when he remarked about the ‘Panty Droppa’s’ singing – claiming Songz suffered from an ’emotional disconnect’ in his performances.

When asked about the ‘beef’, Trigga dished very little but did call Ne-Yo’s constructive criticism ‘a sucker move’.

Taking to radio, the outspoken ‘Miss Independent’ divo shared his thoughts on the drawn out drama with Trey, dibs on his new album ‘R.E.D.’ (and it’s recent pushback), and even thoughts on critics who claim he’s abandoned R&B.  As ever, it is an interesting watch:

Looks like those who can’t get enough of ‘Crazy’ crooner Cee Lo Green will have to make more room in their schedule for the eclectic singer.

For reports have surfaced indicating that the plus sized star, already readying a new album and occupying a seat on NBC‘s hit reality talent series ‘The Voice’, is now teaming with the broadcast network for a new ‘family sitcom’.

The yet titled project is said to be loosely based on his own life and the trials of balancing his hot career and home life.  But, before fans start setting their DVRs for the comedy (with no tentative release date), they can catch Mr. Green on the big screen in the 3-D animation ”Hotel Transylvania” (due in theaters September 28th).

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’?

Your thoughts?

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…
