Last month saw much ado made about the “reforming” of Danity Kane.

In the time since “those pictures” surfaced, some of the group’s members confused fans by continuing to push their solo endeavors.

However, while few details are known about the “reunion” project everyone’s been waiting for, it appears Aubrey, Dawn, Aundrea, and Shannon are letting their actions speak louder than words.

Taking to Instagram, a shot of the ladies in the studio was shared by producers The Freshmen, who cooked up Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj‘s latest single ‘Love More’. The caption attached read:

“Fun session with Danity Kane. They’re dope!”

As keen appreciators of what DK brought to the table, we’re salivating at the prospect of what they sound like in 2013. Hence, bring on that album/reality show already!

Tidbit: For those wondering where D.Woods is, she has gone on record to state a) she has prior commitments and b) was not contacted about the reunion. Meow.

Despite sharing a label in Jimmy Iovine‘s Interscope and an alleged former manager in Bob Leone, it seems there was a time that Lady GaGa and Lana Del Rey were anything but kindred spirits.

For, in a track recorded in 2009 named ‘So Legit’, Rey takes a wicked aim at the heart of GaGa’s cause, referring to an incident which Lana claims saw she and friends boo the Pop icon during a performance in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Yesterday was supposed to bring with it the release of Mariah Carey‘s fourteenth studio album ‘The Art Of Letting Go’. However, as reported, the premium diva has yet master the art – instead pushing back the project to ensure it’s “just right”. 

This, though, hasn’t halted her hustle when it comes to the LP’s lead single ‘#Beautiful’. A moderate hit (which peaked at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100), the track easily serves as Mimi’s biggest success in years; a fact which likely explains why she’s milking it for all its worth.

In new audio update for fans (recorded on the day ‘Letting Go’ was supposed to hit stores), the mother of two explains that not only is she still hard at work on the album, she’s gearing up to debuted even more remixes of its breezy first offering (she’s already released more than five).

And with merely weeks to go before the inevitable “Pop event” sets sail, it’s only natural that the “Monster Machine” kicks into full swing.
