Missed out on Justin Timberlake‘s well received ‘The 20/20 Experience World Tour‘? Fear not.

For, as to accommodate any unable to pick up tickets for its original run, the ‘Senorita‘ singer/songwriter has extended the show’s US leg this morning, and released tickets to its new shows just minutes ago!

Good news below…

If armed with the right material and management, she could be an Urban force to be reckoned with.

Alas, for one reason or another, the gift that is Ashanti continues to see her legacy ruined by poor planning and a cluelessness that’s seen her seated at the bottom of the R&B pack.

Now, almost three years after teasing fans with her forthcoming album ‘Braveheart‘, the singer/actress has announced the launch of a new Christmas EP….just weeks before the big day itself.

Interesting news below…

Lady GaGa is not just accustomed to topping the charts, she’s also blazing the ratings too.

The ‘Applause’ singer earned just that during her ‘Saturday Night Live’ takeover this past weekend, thrilling with a well-received set of performances and skits in support of new album ‘ARTPOP’.

With all eyes on how the much-hyped episode would fare, the eccentric star silenced the naysayer with season-high numbers for the show.

Pop pin-up Justin Bieber continues his foray into the world of R&B with new song ‘PYD’. So what better way to validate his new musical agenda than calling on the King of R&B, R. Kelly for the latest release in his Music Monday series.

The Pied Piper joins the purveyor of “Bieber Fever” on the slow-burning cut, with surprisingly refreshing results. Take a listen below…

Already delayed in earnest, Chris Brown‘s sixth studio album ‘X’ was dealt a devastating blow when the singer was arrested and jailed on suspicious of assault last month.

The ‘Fine China’ led set had danced around a number of release dates, yet was -at that point- scheduled to hit stores on December 3rd.

However, with the 24-year-old rushed into rehab for three months in the wake of the drama, it rendered the promo run required for a major album launch virtually impossible. As such, making the latest date likely impossible too.

Still, in recognising how important it is to consistently maintain a musical presence, C.Breezy is gearing up to roll-out a new mixtape, aptly titled ‘X Files’.

There are multiple ways to “win” and ‘The Best Man Holiday’ is achieving many of them – ironically without hitting #1 on the charts.

Despite being blocked from the top spot by the omnipotent ‘Thor: The Dark World’, the Malcolm D. Lee movie (which hit #2) is this week’s hottest topic after grossing a whopping $30.6 Million in the US during its opening weekend (November 15th-17th).

A major success on the merit of those numbers alone, its blockbuster status is cemented by the fact that it cost just $17 Million to make – meaning that the film almost doubled its production cost immediately.

Qualitatively, the dramedy echoes the message ‘Think Like A Man’ sent to Hollywood big wigs last year year:  Black audiences do support Black movies when they’re: a) well written, acted, produced, and promoted and b) aren’t stereotypical re-hashes that reek of blaxploitation.

‘Holiday, which serves as the sequel to 1999’s ‘The Best Man’, reunites the entire cast of the first film which includes Nia Long, Morris Chestnut, Terrence Howard, Regina Hall, and Sanaa Lathan. The narrative of the latest instalment sees the college friends reunite over the Christmas holidays after 15 years apart. As audiences are learning, the crew quickly discover just how easy it is for long-forgotten rivalries and romances to be ignited. {Source}

On the singles’ charts intermittent songstress Rihanna is not a force to be reckoned with, she is the forced to be reckoned with.

Surpassing or least matching many-a-Billboard Hot 100 placement stat of legendary acts like Madonna, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, and now even threatening Elvis Presley’s record, the pop princess has seen a reign unlike any of her contemporaries (or predecessors) given her less than a decade long tenure.

However, as the statistics that accompany her 7 studio albums in as many years reveals, the goat buck stops there.  For, five months ago we shared news that the ‘Disturbia’ diva had hit the 9.8 million albums sold mark.  Now, via refreshed reports, it appears she has barely passed the 10 million mark…of collective albums sold.

Is this bad news or just a sign of the times?  Weigh in below:

With pot purse nowhere in sight, pop princess Miley Cyrus still managed to get high on ‘X Factor UK’ today…by wielding a rocky performance of her latest #1 hit ‘Wrecking Ball’.

As her ‘Bangerz’ tour nears, the songstress has been spotted in a number of places delivering live performances to (what we hope is) encourage ticket sales.  If the standing ovation that succeeded this performance is any indication, Cyrus may have succeded.

The X Factor 2013 saw its 6th set of eliminations tonight. Find out who’s heading home this week…

With the Flash Vote now axed , Luke Friend and Sam Callahan were revealed as the acts who polled lowest in the public vote this week. Both would go on to battle it out in the sing-off.

Unfortunately, it was Sam Callahan who was forced to part ways with the show when he failed to win over his ever competent judges, seeing Luke continue on in the competition!

The X Factor continues on ITV1 next Saturday.
