‘I’m Going Down’ diva Mary J. Blige may have been bested by fellow music monarch Madonna for ‘Best Original Song’ at the Golden Globes this year, but there was hope yet as, unlike Madge, Blige had been shortlisted for a potential Academy Award nomination.  Her song, ‘The Living Proof’, was a fan and critic favorite of the year and accompanied an equally moving and critically acclaimed movie ‘The Help’.

Despite insiders thinking she was a shoo-in for at least a nod, the Academy stunned spectators when it unveiled only 2 mentions for the ‘Best Original Song’ category.  Much to the surprise of many, Mary was not one of them.

Taking to Twitter to express her grief about the snub, see the ‘Share My World’ singer share her thoughts below:

And yet it seems the turbulence is far from over; for it has today been revealed that ”Heart’ won’t be hitting stores for  another 11 months.

Even when she’s not at her best, Nicki Minaj sits head and shoulders above the rest.

As cliche as that may sound, this is one fact that continues to be proven right time and time again. Case, point example: ‘Stupid Hoe’, the Rapper’s latest video.

Because, despite coming under heavy criticism for its ‘unique’ style, it has rewarded her with  a feat of epic proportions.
