For whatever reason, Solange– at least in the public eye-  is perceived the wild child of the Knowles family.

Maybe down to her ‘eccentric’ sound or her standout style, her personable nature has made for interesting viewing over the years, carving her own identity in front of our every eyes.

Now, in an interview with Complex, the ‘Cosmic Journey’ star has spoken openly on controversy, defending her family and her sister’s pregnancy.

Despite being welcomed by so so reviews, Nicki Minaj‘s latest LP ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘ is well on its way to becoming the LP of the year.

Indeed, despite being released in the country yesterday, it has sold enough copies to secure it a #1 spot on this week’s UK Album Chart.

After whipping up a frenzy with her debut ‘Pink Friday’ in 2010, this week sees Nicki Minaj stake her claim as a formidable chart force with the arrival of her eagerly awaited sophomore set ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘.

A pick ‘n’ mix of genres, the project is split loosely in two; a musical melee, the set finds itself divided between songs rolled in Hip-Hop grit and others soaked in Pop fantasy.

Boasting a tracklist as polarised as the artist performing them, the question on the lips of many remains: beyond the wigs, schtick, and “eccentric”, does Nicki deliver on the most important release of her career?

As is the case with many acts, Nicki Minaj is eager to avoid the infamous sophomore slump.

So in response the concern, Minaj shared her ambitions with Power 105.1‘s ‘DJ Clue Show’, explaining how she feels it will do.

Hard to believe it’s nearly been two months since the music world lost ‘The Voice’, pop icon Whitney Houston.  And while fans continue to grieve, inarguably, no two people were affected more by the loss than Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina and her mother Cissy.

Always very vocal about the closeness of each relationship respectively with the ‘I Will Always Love You’ singer, Bobbi K. took to Oprah last month to update fans on her status.  But, while niece Dionne Warwick has kept viewers in the loop on Cissy’s well-being, Whitney’s mom has been mum from the time surrounding and following the singer’s death…until now.

For the first time in a televised showing, the diva’s mother tells all in a revealing, yet touching interview.  See it all after the jump:

While most entertainers gloss over their career lows, Halle Berry embraced hers.

A catastrophic flop at the box office, the actress’ 2004 role as ‘Catwoman’ saw her hit rock bottom professionally (despite pocketing a cool $12.5 million for the lead).

Costing $100 million to produce, the movie made a paltry $17 million in the US during its first weekend. And while its global gross (+rentals) saw it eventually recoup $82 million, it is still universally cited as one of the worst big screen disasters in recent memory.

Yet instead of hide, the feat saw the Oscar winner hold her head high as she accepted the award for Worst Actress at the 2005 Razzie Awards – a show which annually recognises the biggest crimes against film.

With wicked wit and charm, Berry offered a speech which ultimately saw her have the last laugh. Peep the hilarity above!
