Pint sized pop starlet Willow Smith has been whipping up her debut album for over a year.  Preceded by the top ten smash ‘Whip My Hair”, the album hosts such gems as the aforementioned and the moderate hit “21st Century Girl”.

However, to bring the project back to the public forefront, the songstress enlisted rap eccentric Nicki Minaj for the blazing track “Fireball”.  Already bumping through many-a-speaker, the youngest of the Smith clan took to X Factor USA to debut its introductory live performance.

If Willow Smith set them up, Jessie J knocked ’em down.  For, in a stunning performance the British bred beauty has brought another taste of her infectious pop across the pond to X Factor US.  Dropping by to unveil another scorching performance of her hit single ‘Domino’, the young starlet looks to have won over another group of fans with her stirring live set.

Fans are undoubtedly itching for tastes of what R&B beauty Brandy is serving up on her next LP.  Boasting contributions from Chris Brown, Bangladesh, Sean Garrett, and more, the ‘He Is’ hitmaker is steadily gaining buzz for the yet-titled project (due 2012).

And while no stranger to leak, a particular “Silent Night” – rumored to be included in the next album’s final set – has been making rounds on the net for weeks.  Looks like the news just got to Brandy:

With the microwave timer on pop tart Rihanna‘s ‘Talk That Talk’ dish counting down at a rapid pace, fans of the Navy commander are getting treated with more and more whiffs of her forthcoming offerings.  Promo schedule finalizing, new single dropping, and the like coming full speed in the coming days, that Rihanna reign just won’t let up (on letting so many down).

Documenting the creation of her latest LP, the singer has been inviting fans into ‘webisodes’ filled with behind the scenes glimpses at herself on tour.  In this latest webisode unlocked by fans, the Barbadian beauty meets up with famed hitmakers/longtime collaborators Stargate and gives fans a clip of a cover of one of her professed idols.

The countdown to Talk That Talk continues.  See Riri after the jump:

Though reportedly upset by the leak of her new single ‘Give Me All Your Love’, pop queen Madonna is still in the spirit of giving.  For, shortly after the song (which the singer’s camp is claiming is a demo and ‘nowhere near’ the finished version) made its rounds on the net, fans were given the chance of seeing ol’ Madge landing the latest Harper’s Bazaar cover.

Speaking on new music, her (neverending) love life, being young, and her movie about another royal figure ‘W.E.’, the interview comes shortly after news the superstar will be taking her talents to the SuperBowl (joined by rapstress Nicki Minaj) to precede the February release of her next LP.

Albeit photo-shopped to the heights of an attic on Mount Olympus, with starlets half  her age getting just as much retouch, credit should still be given where it is due.  Madgestic indeed.

Contrary to this snapshot’s implication, the last thing R&B diva Kelly Rowland has been doing is keeping quiet.  On quite the promotional promenade, the native Texan has traipsed many-an-outlet since reemerging on the UK scene following a recent illness. Similarly revisiting the X Factor UK judging panel with her brand of feist and fierceness, fans are seeing new sides of the ‘Down For Whatever’ diva.

Recently speaking with our friends over at PunchBowl blog, the songstress touched on a number of topics including the international release of her acclaimed ‘Here I Am’ album, being inspired by Beyonce and Michael Jackson, future collabs, and biting back at critics who claim she’s complacent in her current success status.

Needless to say, Miss ‘Lay It On Me’ laid it all out! See what we mean after the jump:
