The release of her latest EP, ‘Suga,’ may have signaled proof Megan Thee Stallion had won a legal battle against her label, but the war is far from over.

After a failed attempt to reverse the restraining order she has against them and block the project’s March 6 debut (as we reported here), 1501 Certified Entertainment returned to the courts to request the Rap diva’s civil suit against them be dismissed.

Previously scheduled to premiere April 24, Orion Pictures has announced its highly anticipated hidden-camera comedy, ‘Bad Trip,’ will now roll into theaters on April 17.

Directed by Kitao Sakurai, the film, which stars Eric André, Lil Rel Howery, Tiffany Haddish, and Michaela Conlin, was originally planned to be unveiled at SXSW 2020 before the Austin-based festival was canceled due to concerns related to the coronavirus outbreak.

Moving full steam ahead, the project – produced by Jeff Tremaine (‘Jackass,’ ‘Bad Grandpa’) –  has an updated trailer ahead of its new release date.

While music award shows, individual artist concerts, and multiple concert festivals (i.e. SXSW, Coachella) are being suspended due to coronavirus fears (putting the music business in the position to lose billions in its wake), the music realm is certainly not the only branch of entertainment being rocked by fears of the disease (COVID-19).

After the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared the outbreak a “pandemic” Wednesday (March 11), television production companies and shows took notice and action.

Like we reported here, ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ was among the first daytime series to announce intent to exercise safety by filming without an audience.  As that news made its rounds, a number of other top-rated talk shows – daytime and primetime – followed suit.

Look inside to see if your favorite show has opted in to audience-free taping:

In addition to gracing headlines and magazine covers aplenty for being one of Rap music’s most promising breakout stars, ‘My Type’ maestra Saweetie has already seen her name typed alongside Platinum certifications by the RIAA and as a tenant of some of the Billboard Hot 100’s upper rungs.

Having made history for being one of ten female rappers to score a top 30 hit over the last decade, her entry into the exclusive club (which also includes Missy Elliott, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, City Girls, Lizzo, Iggy Azalea, Young M.A., M.I.A., and Megan Thee Stallion) is just the tip of the iceberg, the rapstress (born Diamonté Qiava Valentin Harper) told That Grape Juice in an exclusive interview.

Thanks to the enduring successes of her first two EPs – ‘High Maintenance’ (2018) and ‘Icy’ (2019) – expectations for her official debut LP (due later this year) are at their highest.  However, if her ventures into fashion and acting are any indication, the album will be just one of many ventures Saweetie showcases this year that will meet and exceed the hype.

Ahead of her upcoming London show at Heaven on May 26th, she dished on her short, but storied career, her foray into fashion, next musical moves and so much more:

Just hours after sending her faithful fans, affectionately called #KatyCats, into a frenzy over reports she was expecting her first child (click here to read), Pop star Katy Perry has unleashed the music video for her new single, ‘Never Worn White,’ to confirm the murmurs.

A gorgeous new ballad, the piano-driven tune comes as a sonic departure from the mid- to up-tempo offerings that acted as standalone singles following her commercially panned 2017 ‘Witness’ album (‘Small Talk,’ ‘Never Really Over,’ ‘Harleys in Hawaii’).

Putting the diva’s voice center stage, the wedding-inspired lyrics will undoubtedly only help to build excitement for the singer’s forthcoming nuptials to actor Orlando Bloom in Japan.

Until then, see the mom-to-be in action inside:
