For, after spending the last year and a half trying to claw her way back into the public eye following her war of words with Pop Princess Nicki Minaj, she is now facing criticism from her very own fans.

Fans, who accuse her of putting her friendship with boxer Floyd Mayweather before the release of the new material she had promised them at the end of 2011.

To say the last few years have been ‘difficult’ for Raz -B would really be an understatement.

Indeed, after number of  horrifying truths regarding his relationship with former manager Chris Stokes and one time friend Marques Houston emerged online three years ago, the entertainer has been forced to watch  his once flourishing career fall prey to all the wrong kinds of media attention.

Now it seems, he is ready to take everything back to where they began. His music.

Currently serving as Pop’s leading maestro can’t be an easy task for one time Elvis Presley impersonator  Bruno Mars.

Responsible for hits such as ‘Grenade‘, ‘Marry You‘ and ‘Just The Way You Are’, the entertainer’s background and personality- despite his meteoric rise to fame- remain somewhat of a mystery to any who has never considered themselves to be a fan of the performer.

Days ago, in what came as unexpected many news to many in the Popverse, it was announced that Epic executive LA Reid has signed X Factor UK Royal Cher Lloyd to the label in a bid to push both she and her music to US audiences.

After enjoying chart success in domestic territory with her debut release, ‘Sticks&Stones’, there is little doubt the folk over at Epic will be hoping her popularity in the UK is some how indicative of how fruitful her project will be when its international campaign finally comes into motion.

Now we want you to add your two cents.

Do you feel Ms. Lloyd will make it in the USA? Or will she follow in the footsteps of fellow X Factor alum JLS and fail to capture the hearts and wallets minds of American audiences?

R&B star Brandy has certainly been a busy girl as of late.

While cooking up her hotly anticipated new album, the singer has returned to her former mainstay – acting. And in a big way.

With a pronounced (and recurring role) on season 5 of BET’s ‘The Game’, That Grape Juice‘s Patrick B caught up with the stunner at the exclusive screening for show’s first episode in Los Angeles last night.

There, the 32 year old dished on her character (‘Chardonnay’), as well her new single and album, when we can expect them, and a whole lot more.

‘The Boy Is Mine’ co-stars Monica and Brandy beam in this collection of personal snapshots uploaded to the ‘Don’t Take It Personal’ singer’s Twitter moments ago.  Sending fans into a frenzy, the two spark rumors that their 1998 mega-duet may be getting a successor soon.

Mo, who joined super producer Rico Love in Miami to record the finishing touches for her ‘New Life’ album (due in February), shared a touching thought with the photo:

“We’ve been blessed beyond measure…14 years later. ##TURNTHELIGHTSON ❤Love”. 

Have long time fans’ cries been heard?  We’ll certainly be keeping our fingers crossed on that one.  The timing, if the collab rings true, couldn’t be any better given that Brandy is preparing new material for 2012 as well! This   will play out interestingly to say the least.  Until then, check out our exclusive interview with Miss Norwood here.

R&B powerhouse Jennifer Hudson has seemingly turned up the heat of her Weight Watchers-sponsored promotions with the forthcoming release of her January 10th due memoir ‘I Got This’.  Sharing titling with her one-time announced third single from her sophomore set ‘I Remember Me’, JHud looks to have forgotten that fans are still watching for her next LP, not her next pants size.

Be that as it may, the soon wed Grammy-winner is readying two forays into film – ‘Three Stooges’ and ‘Winnie’ – both due in 2012.  Until then, fans can view her gracing the cover of the January/February 2012 edition of ‘Weight Watchers’.
