Azealia Banks continues to buzz her way into mainstream consciousness. Her latest mobilizer? The video for ‘Liquorice’ – which the femcee teased today.

Set to debut tomorrow, the cut is lifted from the 21 year old’s ‘1991’ EP.

Between Nicki, Iggy, and Ms. Banks, the female Rap scene is heating all the way up. Are you feeling the new “breed”?

Your thoughts?

For the ladies at VH1’s ‘Basketball Wives‘, the last year has been ‘intense’ to say the least.

Coming under fire for what many saw as gratuitous violence, bullying and a general lack of decorum, today saw the ‘wives’ face even more drama.

For, in what will shock many of its viewers, VH1 has reportedly given Jennifer Williams, Kesha Nicols and Royce Reed their marching orders in a bid to rid the show of ‘dead weight’.

Reports indicate that Royce‘s dismissal stems from her inability to address her ‘off screen’ drama on camera due to a gagging order placed on her the father of her son.

This, coupled with her cast mates refusal to film with  led to producers coming to this decision.

Williams, who like  Reed has starred in the show since its genesis, was allegedly given the boot after being seen as a liability by producers, after threatening to sue recurring cast mate Nia Crooks for slapping her on camera and openly criticizing the show during press rounds.

Until they are replaced, the show’s current line up consists of attempted mogul Shaunie O’ Neal, one time homey hopper Evelyn Lozada, the cantankerous Tami Roman and failed television host Suzie Ketcham.

VH1 are yet to release a statement confirming the dismissals.

Until they do, peep the middle aged bullies  ladies in action below…

This morning, Chris Brown shocked Twitter when he uploaded this image– followed by a series of telling captions.

Captions, which gave fans no choice but to believe the bloody scar on his chin had been caused by chart topping Rapper Drake.

The pair, although once publicly cordial, have been reported to have been feuding for months over Pop sensation Rihanna, the subject of Brown’s fiery remix to Kanye West’s ‘Theraflu’.

Now, an alleged eye witness at the New York club Drake and Chris are believed to have fought at has come forward.

Yes, two years after her ‘Black Friday’ mix tape was certified Triple Firewood on Hulkshare Records and one year after being outed by a number of unpaid ghostwriters, the Rap hag has returned with the ‘Return Of The Queen’ Tour.

Britney Spears was in a ‘mother mode’  yesterday afternoon, out and about with sons in Santa Barbara.

Seemingly unfazed by onlooking paparazzi, Team Spears were spotted walking in of an unnamed store with what appears to be a casually dressed bodyguard.

This, one month after officially joining Fox’s hit show ‘X Factor USA‘, alongside Demi Lovato and existing judges Simon Cowell and LA Reid.

Rising to fame as the breakout star of ‘Pop Stars: The Rivals” back in 2002, Cheryl Cole‘s story- albeit turbulent- is nothing short of fascinating.

For, by way of conveniently timed melodramas between she and footballer Ashley Cole, Simon Cowell’s ‘X Factor‘ , and the benefit of her ‘Girls Aloud’ platform, Cheryl has seen her water turned to premium wine. All, without a trace of discernible talent.

So, it should come as little surprise that in a recent interview with Pop Justice, she admitted to having no connection with her own lyrics.

Her comments and brand spanking new single below…
