Ashanti continued her comeback campaign yesterday, stopping by BET’s 106 & Park to premiere the video for ‘The Woman You Love’. 

Beyond showcasing the “interesting” visual, the former INC singer dished on the track’s housing album, ‘Braveheart’. And while she was keen to talk up the LP in the way of sound, experience and the like, she remained coy about its surprise guests.

However, ever keen to pour you that Lipton, we’ve got the names.

In 20 days, Nicki Minaj is set to unleash her sophomore effort ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’.

And so as to give the set one last push ahead of its April 3rd arrival, the Young Money major jetted out to Hawaii to shoot the video for the LP’s current single ‘Starships’.

The Pop flavoured cut currently sits at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100; a number set to rise on the back strong radio play and its upcoming visual – which judging by the pics above and below is a major production.

We’re not entirely sold on the song (though we don’t deem it as criminal as some folk). However, credit where it’s due. Ms. Minaj is making it rain and pour. More power to her.

Madonna‘s sex appeal may be stuck voguing in the 90’s, yet that hasn’t stopped the 53 year old from stripping off in support of her latest album ‘MDNA’.

Aided with best brush money can buy (see: Photoshop), Material Madge poses in her bare essentials for the racy shot, which she’ll no doubt be hoping helps shift copies of the hotly anticipated set.

And yet yours truly is puzzled. For, physical agility aside, Maggie’s “siren” status expired at least 100 years ago. Putting to one side the unfortunate industry age bias, the “sex” angle isn’t one she should be peddling at this point of her career. Then again, the same can be said for the horrible nursery rhymes she’s been releasing of late.

Still, with a tour that is looking to make it both rain and pour, I guess she’s still “winning” regardless.
