Rihanna and Chris Brown recent duets have spoken volumes about the status of their “relationship”. However, neither of the pair have verbally addressed why they decided to team up again – especially given the controversy which greets the the mention of their names collectively.

That silence ended this morning when Barbados’ Next Top Model called into Ryan Seacrest‘s KISS FM radio show.

Saturday Night Live‘s most talked about musical guest, Lana Del Rey, readies her next single ‘Blue Jeans’ by unveiling the track’s accompanying art work.

Lifted from ‘Born To Die’, ‘Blue Jeans’ was an instant standout on a LP filled with depressing funeral music. It serves as the album’s most commercial offering, appealing to both critics and fans alike. The song’s official launch as Del Rey’s third single commences April 8, 2012 through Interscope Records.

Ever wonder why, for all her looks and Diddy’s plugging, Cassie can’t seem to catch a break?

Journey back with us to the Summer of 2005.

The model’s Electro-banging debut ‘Me & U’ was inescapable on radio stations across the globe. And with her label Bad Boy enjoying what would prove to be a short-lived resurgence (after years in the wilderness), many considered the starlet (along with the then-new Danity Kane) as the key game-changers.

And then she performed on 106 & Park.

It was the performance (not) heard around the world.

Whispered vocals and even an more muted stage presence, the showing was a mucky mess. One which has plagued Ms. Ventura’s musical efforts ever since.

At least the modelling is working out, aye?

Randomness: I literally “can’t” at there being 3 background singers.
