Type  the name Misha B into Google Search today and the results- to say the least- are quite unfortunate.

For, in what is sure to be the reason behind her continuous run in the bottom two each week, every other story details so-called accounts of ‘tantrums‘ and ‘hissy fits‘ thrown by the singer in response to her fears of being axed from the show.

Expected to be voted off the series tonight,  there are many who feel her negative portrayal in the media will make scoring both a record deal and positive public opinion an impossible task.

Now we want to know.

Do you feel the negative press Ms.B is currently receiving have scarred her career prospects?

Nights ago, the nominations for the 2012 Grammys were announced and evoked  what can only be described as heated debate.

Debate that for the most has been centered around Pop czar Beyonce and the fact that she only scored one nomination  related her latest album ‘4’.

Or is ‘4‘ simply undeserving of the accolades the likes of ‘Dangerously In Love‘ and ‘I Am..Sasha Fierce‘ found themselves basking in some years back.

Get into it below!

Telling the story of the day she was dropped from Island Def Jam, Lady GaGa‘s video for the single ‘Marry The Night‘ is heralded by many as being one of her best pieces of work to date.

A very blonde Nicki Minaj broke out her little black dress for the red carpet yesterday in New York City.  The Harajuku Barbie, who joined country pop star Taylor Swift in accepting honors bestowed by Billboard, walked away with the coveted Billboard “Rising Star” Award in recognition of her debut efforts.

The accolade comes as the latest of many decorating the rising starlet’s trophy case.  And, in addition to celebrating the warm reception of  ‘Roman In Moscow’ (the first offering from her sophomore effort ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘), Minaj  also celebrated news of her nomination for Best New Artist for the 2012 Grammy Awards.

R&B/Hip-Hop hitmaker Rico Love was definitely feeling the love from fellow hitmakers Usher, Mary J.
