‘Reductive’ diva Lady Gaga may resent the remarks of a once-praised Pop idol who branded her as such, but it may be safer to say she resents another, more pressing reduction – of presence on Billboard.  Despite boasting 4 out of its 5 singles as top ten hits, the singer’s official sophomore effort ‘Born This Way’ may have seen its releases find their way to Billboard’s upper rankings, but their tenure there was very short lived.

Tack on the singer’s most recent single ‘Marry The Night’ not living up to hype, those quick to write the songstress off believe that Gaga has gone a bit beyond the ‘edge’ of her glory.  ‘Night’ may have landed the diva her latest #1 dance hit, but it missed the mark on another tally…

Words lent by famed actress Gabrielle Union at her boo Dwayne Wade‘s 30th bday bash in Miami recently.  The gathering, which saw hip hop hitmakers T.I., Common, Rick Ross, and more in attendance, found its highlight when ‘Lay It On Me’ singer Kelly Rowland laid her vocals over a ‘Happy Birthday’ performance.  Needless to say,  even in January the Miami Heat star was feeling the heat!

Seemingly taking a leaf from her ‘Pon De Replay’ days, Bajan beauty Rihanna flaunts her best talent (silence) in these sizzling promo shots for Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans.  Already fronting the fashion frontrunner’s commercials and earlier campaigns, this clothing collabo is one of the many ventures Riri and Armani are said to be conjuring up for Bloomingdales and Macy’s alike.

When not imparting poses for Armani promo, the Grammy winning vocal less vocalist is said to be readying the title track of her critically ashamed album ‘Talk That Talk’ (featuring mentor Jay Z) as its third single.   While the latter of whom just made history for enlisting the help of a (much more welcomed) musical whine – newborn Blue Ivy – you can catch the former in these sizzling shots for Armani below (thanks in part to RihannaDaily):

For years, the name ‘Braxton’ has been synomous with singer Toni.

Yet, after We tv series ‘Braxton Family Values’ hit it big, it’s Tamar who’s been on the lips of everyone and their mom.

The youngest of the Braxton clan, Tamar has been the show’s break-out star, etching words such as ‘dot com’, ‘dot org’, and ‘dot life’ into public consciousness. Now, the 34 year old hopes to etch herself into the favour of record-buyers, as she re-launches her solo career.

That Grape Juice TV‘s Patrick caught up with the singer at last week’s Los Angeles screening of ‘Braxton Family Values’. During their frank chat, Braxton dished on her forthcoming single, sound, and much more. As ever, Tamar was very much Tamar!
