Taking a brief break from rocking audiences on the European leg of Beyonce’s ‘Mrs. Carter Show’, Luke James stopped by BBC 1Xtra radio recently, delivering a performance that more than answers why King B hand-picked him to join the jaunt.

Appearing on the CJ Rocks show, the Soul-filled singer wowed with an acapella medley of new single ‘I.O.U’ and fan-favorite ‘I Want You’.

With a brand that’s deep routed in her skill as an entertainer and humanitarian, accolades given to Beyonce on the grounds of her look really just are added bonuses.

A rarity in age where many a model poses as a performer, this month saw these mic’d models lose to the ‘Chime For Change’ beauty in a poll launched to gauge British opinions on celebrity looks.

Today sees Eve‘s long-awaited LP ‘Lip Lock’ strut its way into US stores.

The comeback collection is the fiery femcee’s first studio album in over ten years and has, itself, been in the making for almost seven.

In a bid to leave no promo stone unturned, the ‘She Bad Bad’ rapper stopped by Hot 97 radio today to chat about the album, how love saw her move to London, and her Fetish clothing line. And while largely laid-back, the interview certainly had its “moments” particularly when the topic of ex boyfriend Stevie J (of Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta fame) was brought up. Let’s just say Ms. Jeffers proved that she’s still all sorts of Philly.

For, days after returning from LA, Rita Ora arrived at the party hand in hand with ‘I’m Not Alone’ producer Calvin Harris.

Escorted in the spot by police, their sighting comes two years after the entertainer crafted the smash hit single ‘We Found Love‘ for Rita’s ROC sister Rihanna and days after fans caught the ‘ORA’ singer in brand new movie ‘Fast & Furious 6′.

After the wake of Destiny’s Child disbandment, “Making the Band” winners Danity Kane seemed poised to quickly fill the trio’s “girl group” void.  Armed with all the makings of a diva syndicate (i.e. – actual talent), the fivesome – comprised of Aubrey O’Day, D. Woods, Shannon Bex, Dawn Richard, and Aundrea Fimbres – flew to the top of charts on the wings of songs like ‘Show Stoppers’ and ‘Damaged’.

Despite their successes, the group barely made it out of album #2 before announcement their disbandment.  And, while the likes of O’Day, Richard, and Woods all went on to varying levels of success, fans still longed for the full effect of the quintet.
