In what we’re sure will benefit her new LP ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘, yesterday saw Nicki Minaj hit Radio 1’s ‘Hackney Weekend’ to deliver a set of her best cuts.

So, while you’ve seen her perform the 5x platinum release ‘Starships’ here, you may not have seen more from her explosive set.

A set, which saw her rouse the crowd with budding hits ‘Pound The Alarm’ and the digital monster ‘Turn Me On‘.

Enjoy below…

Peep these snaps of Jennifer Lopez, serving up the quite the spectacle at last night’s Pop Music Fest in Brazil.

Channeling her inner show-girl, the Latin bombshell whipped up a frenzy at the Arena Skol Anhembi in Sao Paulo, armed with a troop of suited dancers, and a diamond encrusted catsuit.

On the night she tweeted:

Just arrived in beautiful Sao Paulo. What’s up with the traffic? @kelly_clarkson @parishilton are ready to party tomorrow ‪#PopMusicFestival

Currently on the UK leg of her ‘Pink Friday‘ world tour, last night saw Nicki Minaj rock Radio 1’s ‘Hackney Weekend’ with a performance of the 2x platinum single ‘Starships‘.

Well rehearsed and well received by the crowd, Minaj’s set yesterday precedes her show at London’s Hammersmith Apollo tonight, where she is set to be joined by stylized trio ‘Stooshe’.

As if the recent box office smash ‘Men In Black III’ wasn’t enough cause for celebration, ‘Poison’ performer Nicole Scherzinger is bringing 34 in with a bang!  Taking to Tao Beach over the weekend, the former Pussycat Dolls frontwoman was front-and-center at a celebration that saw television’s Hill Harper and L.A. Clippers’ Chris Paul just two of many notable names in attendance.

While fans patiently await the follow-up to the ill-fated ‘Killer Love’, set to feature an assortment of killer producers, they can catch Scherzinger making a splash at her bday bash below:

Beyonce may have sung about needing a “soldier”, yet it’s clear she’s one herself when it comes to supporting her husband – Jay-Z.

The Pop megastar was snapped moshing, stomping, and dutty whining during the Roc mogul’s headlining set at Radio 1’s Hackney Weekend in East London tonight.

King B’s marked presence comes on the heels of multiple sightings of her on the the European leg of the ‘Watch The Throne Tour’.

Ever eager to boost his profile in the country, tonight saw Trey Songz take to Radio 1’s Hackney Weekend for what might be one of his better performances.

Serving up his single ‘Heart Attack‘, the crooner- despite some cringe worthy overacting – most certainly brought his A game.

Watch him work below…

Perhaps it was Beyonce in rear-view? That “green”? Or her all round wackness? Whatever the case, Rihanna was a mucky mess  during her surprise performance with Jay-Z at tonight’s Radio 1 Hackney Weekend.

Renown for her “rebellious” gimmick nature, the model stuck two fingers up at her vocal coach with a sluggish rendition of ‘Run This Town’.

Two weeks.

Indeed, it’s two weeks until Chris Brown‘s fifth studio album ‘Fortune’ arrives in stores. And as if anticipation wasn’t high enough, 30-second snippets of each of the LP’s tracks surfaced today.

What are you waiting for? Sample what C. Breezy will be serving up come July 3rd after the jump…

Hailed as a “music bible” by some and dismissed as an “Urban” detester by others, Rolling Stone – love them or loathe them – are undoubtedly one of the most renown and respected music outlets standing.

As such, their recent compilation of the ‘Top Female Albums Of All Time’ was always going to me a “must see”.

Using a loose metric of critical and commercial success, the publication’s tally (inclusions, omissions, and positions) makes for a fascinating read.

Hence without further adieu…

With Pooch Hall waving goodbye to The Game, it’s a touchdown for actor Jay Ellis who has been cast as the BET show’s new male lead.

According to The YBF, the NCIS star, will play hot shot Bryce -the love interest of recently cast female lead Lauren London (who replaces the departing Tia Mowry).

******

Like the masses, we’ll be keen to see how (or if) the changes to the Game are a score or a bore. Season 6 of The Game kicks off early next year.

Jennifer Lopez was all smiles earlier t0day, arriving in Rio De Janeiro with alleged boyfriend Casper Smart and a team of minders.

You’d never guess, just by looking, that she had been robbed just hours before. Robbed, minutes before she took to the stage in Buenos Aires as part of her ‘Dance Again‘ world tour.

Now that her feud with Nicki Minaj has been put to rest, Rap punchline Lil Kim has seen her brand come under fire from a number of directions in recent months.

Last month, she was billed as ‘a shadow of her former self’ by ‘212’ genius Azealia Banks and last Christmas, she found herself in hot water when a former ghostwriter exposed contracts between the pair.

This, confirming age old reports that she does not pen her own material.

Today, ‘My Neck/My Back’ MC Khia has launched an attack on the former star, mocking her alleged addiction to cosmetic surgery and her ‘ghostwritten’ material.
