With a groundbreaking world tour on her hands, and year’s worth of planning to ensure its campaign runs smoothly, Beyonce now readies the release of her fifth studio album far sooner than most of the world is even aware of.

With December 6th locked in for his new LP ‘The Gift‘, Master P surprises the world with a brand new single this morning- featuring none other than Maybach ‘Monster’ Rick Ross!

Named ‘Two Three‘, the cut does make for a decent listen, seeing P showcase his skills to a generation more familiar with his son – Romeo Miller– than they are with him.

Since its genesis, the fashion that has filled Lady Gaga‘s ‘ARTPOP’ era has caused quite the stir – even for her.

From motherboards to prosthetic arms, Gaga has left few stones unturned in her effort to bridge the gap between music and pop art.  And, while the looks are still the subject of much banter, the songstress unveils a runway-inspired look behind the scenes of some of the now famed photoshoots that have accompanied the album.

The short film awaits below:

Rihanna frightened many-a-viewer (for unintended reasons) with her latest video ‘What Now’, but she may not be done with her antics yet.  Now re-teaming with her ‘Love The Way You Lie’ co-star Eminem, the duo shared the snap above on Instagram today from the set of their ‘The Monster’ video.

The song, which has already skyrocketed to the top of charts and sitting pretty at #2 this week, is featured on Em’s latest album ‘Marshall Mathers LP 2’. Celebrating a monster debut itself after blasting straight to the top of charts with over 775k sold its first week, the album pushed just enough numbers this week to mark platinum status.

As we await what is sure to be a chatter-worthy visual from Em and Ri, those unfamiliar with the song can take a listen below:

‘Bonnie & Clyde’, ‘Crazy In Love’, ‘That’s How You Like It’, ‘Deja Vu’, ‘Lift Off’, and ‘Forever Young’ are just a few of the titles the past decade has afforded fans of music royals / married duo Jay Z and Beyonce.

But, if you thought that list was ending anytime soon, you are sadly mistaken.  Well, that is, if reports by a certain Irv Gotti are to be believed…

As Trey Songz continues to craft his hotly anticipated new album, his former hero R.Kelly jumps into R&B’s ring and rocks the competition with a brand new number named….‘Lights On.’

Tugged from his new album ‘Black Panties’, the explicit number sees the performer land on ‘baby making’ territory and serve as a bonus track that comes as part of ‘Panties’ packaging!

Last week Eminem & Rihanna scared away the competition with their ‘Monster’ debut on Billboard Hot 100.

Alas, their roar – nor the ‘Roar’ of a certain Katy Perry – has managed to frighten the likes of Billboard champion Lorde as her breakaway hit ‘Royals’ claims the throne for its 8th week.

But, as the gap between ‘Monster’ and ‘Royals’ closes, there are others newcomers on the prowl for the top seat as well.  Cue Lady  Gaga…

Justin Bieber joins his manager Scooter Braun on the cover of Lynne Segall‘s ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ this month, dominating its pages for a tell all spread!

What he’s saying?

Well, his time with the publication saw him take on his critics head on and explain why he has very few damns to give to those who believe he’s spiralling out of control.

Along with the success of VH1’s top-rated biographical film ‘CrazySexyCool:  The TLC Story’ has come much analysis and debate about artist rights, contracts, and the like.  A story not uncommon in the industry, but never any less striking when such a narrative reaches the media.

Ask ‘Baby It’s You’ beauty Jojo.

The songstress has long been vocal about her situation with label Blackground Records – a situation that has seen her take to outlets (i.e. social media, interviews, etc.) to voice disdain for the label and her contract there.

But, even after years of protest, a recent quote from the ‘Demonstrate’ diva may just be the most damning yet.  It’s not even 10 seconds long, but it packs the most powerful punch:

Your thoughts?

With Britney Spears‘ new single ‘Perfume’ in free-fall on the charts, the video shoot for the track has come right on time.

After (not quite) working up a storm in this Summer’s ‘Work B*tch’ visual, the Pop force returns to the desert for her latest clip – which is the second to be lifted from upcoming album ‘Britney Jean’.

The singer has tapped dynamo director Joseph Kahn for vid, which -at this point- is the only thing that can save the song from its dismal run. Time will tell.

In the meanwhile, peep more pics below…
