Whoa mama!

Beyonce may be glowing in her embrace of motherhood after the birth of daughter Blue Ivy, but today saw the ‘End of Time’ beauty joined by the two ladies she calls ‘mom’ – Tina Knowles and mother-in-law Gloria Carter.  Stepping out today in a stunning blue, form fitting number, the hitmaker and fam were on hand at a New York City fundraiser for the Obama re-election campaign.

As ever, the singer’s return to form post-Blue is becoming more evident and was greeted with much fanfare after the announcement of her forthcoming return to stage.  Until the Queen Bey slays lessers again, get into these snaps of she and Blue’s proud grandparents below (thanks to Rap-Up):

Your thoughts?

Following her controversial cover of The Throne‘s ‘N”gga’s In Paris‘ today, Katy Perry‘s mouth has landed her in more hot water.

For, in what can only force us to wonder just who she and Rihanna ‘chit chat’ about behind closed doors, the ‘Teenage Dreamer‘ has weighed in on Beyonce’s 2007 duet with Shakira, ‘Beautiful Liar‘.

Her remarks below…

Destiny’s Child divas Beyonce and Kelly Rowland continue to show that their friendship remains intact, as they travel down their solo paths.

‘Motivation’ singer Rowland was snapped arriving at her former bandmate’s New York apartment this afternoon for a catch up.

The 31 year old is reportedly in NYC for business, taking a brief break from recording her 4th studio album in Los Angeles – where she has and will be stationed for the duration of creation.

March 26th marks the release of ‘MDNA‘, the latest LP from Madonna.

Highly anticipated by fans and critics alike, the LP- though expected to fare poorly on the charts- precedes the icon’s ‘2012 World Tour‘, and her 12 minute set at Superbowl 2012, alongside MIA and Nicki Minaj.

Now, just days before its release, get into snippets from its deluxe edition below…

Earlier today, Beyonce set the net alight with confirmation of her return, two months after giving birth to her first child Blue Ivy.

Set to release the  single ‘End Of Time’ next month, it’s safe to say coming months will see her pick up where the ‘4‘ campaign left off in 2o11- a campaign, which many fans hoped would end with an ‘epic’ tour.

So now we ask:

If Beyonce was to announce a 2012 world tour, would you go?

Weigh in below…

Up until this year Melody Thorton was best known for the obligatory belted ad-libs found at the end of every Pussycat Dolls song. Since then Melody has been hard at work on her debut album, determined to make a name for herself as a solo artist before Nicole Scherzinger can.

On the heels of releasing her 10-track mixtape, ‘P.O.Y.B.L. (Piss On Your Black List)’ and a music video for ‘Lipstick & Guilt’, Thorton earned herself a gig singing ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ at the L.A. Marathon.

The national anthem is no easy song to sing as it requires a singer’s singer to appropriately tackle the technical complexity of its melody and the challenging vocal it demands.

Listen to Thorton belt her way through America’s favorite song after the jump and sound-off below.

In the heat of her hype, it’s  easy to forget how far Nicki Minaj has come from her days as a struggling MC.

For, putting her revival of Female Rap aside, her feats as an artist/aspiring mogul have been astounding to say the least.

From scoring a lucrative 360 deal with the folk over at Young Money , to negotiating her way into MAC‘s Viva Glam campaign, it’s clear to see that  her ‘rise to the top’ is down to her oft overlooked business savvy, and not her oh-so infamous ‘assets’.

Not convinced?

Then peep what Forbes have to say about her recent deal with Pepsi Co, below…

Toni Braxton is back!

Clad in a hot pink swimsuit, the soulful baratone shot the video for new single ‘I Heart You’ in Los Angeles last night.

The cut is the first to be lifted from the diva’s forthcoming new album, which she told That Grape Juice is being released as a “collective”. Such a setup  will see Braxton pair with different labels on a non-exclusive basis to market and distribute each single.

Exciting stuff.

He may go by The Dream, yet many of his soundbites are often a nightmare for his publicist.

And while the hitmaker’s latest comments are sure to sit in that basket, we can’t but feel it opens the floor for an interesting debate.

This is one performance you don’t want to miss.

Today, in support of her upcoming LP ‘Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection’, Katy Perry took to ‘Radio One’s Live Lounge’ for a live set of some of her favorite music.

Performing some of her own classics, the ‘Mannequin‘ belle also took The Throne‘s ‘N*gga’s In Paris’, with truly interesting results.
