Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson stand as two of Pop’s most potent voices. And while their paths in showbiz have veered in different directions, Xtina’s appearance on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ today saw them bond over the similarities in a warming segment.
The pair chatted it up about music (at an artistic level), motherhood, life, and much more.
Check out the fun-filled sit down below…
With over 500 awards to her credit, Beyonce‘s name is scribbled in record books for being the second most awarded female artist in history (runner-up only to the legendary Whitney Houston). But, her stride toward EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) status was dashed yet again over the weekend when her game-changing Netflix concert documentary, ‘Homecoming,’ went home empty-handed despite a whopping six nominations.
This makes the fourth year the 38-year-old’s been snubbed by the Emmy Academy. Details inside:
Naomi Campbell undoubtably stands as one of the most legendary supermodels of all-time and, for many, even defines the term.
And while others would have rested on the comfort of her well-earned status, the style icon is using her platform for a potent cause.
Case in point last night’s ‘Fashion For Relief’ presentation, which returned to London in triumphant form. Previous instalments have taken place in New York, Cannes, Moscow, and Mumbai.
Established by Campbell in 2005 to raise money for disaster relief worldwide, the 2019 show was held at the British Museum and saw the supermodel deliver her famed “Naomi Campbell Walk.’
After the presentation (which was attended by the likes of Anna Wintour, Tiwa Savage, Damson Idris, Skepta, Eve, and Edward Enniful), a gala dinner was held and auction where prized art and designer items were sold to raise money for the Mayor’s Fund for London. Funds raised are set to go towards employability programs which offer support for young Londoners from low-income backgrounds.
Head below for pics, as well as word from Campbell on the incredible movement:
Today’s From The Vault journeys back to the end of the 90’s. This week, we give you Monifah’s sassy number ‘Touch It.’
The lead single from the singer’s sophomore set ‘Mo’hogany,’ ‘Touch’ was produced by Jack Knight and Mario Winans in 1998.
It became Monifah’s biggest hit reaching Top 10 status both on the US Hot 100 and Hot Hip-Hop/R&B – #9 on the respective tallies. In Canada, the cut peaked at #15 and was a Top 30 single in the UK.
It’s fascinating hearing just how similar this song sounds to what would rule the charts a whole decade later. It wouldn’t be a stretch saying that this very track could have been featured on Britney Spears’ ‘Blackout’ LP.
****************
In the tune’s accompanying video, which was directed by Chris Robinson, Monifah and her army dancers perform for the American troops, who appear to want nothing more than to… touch them.

Unfortunately, things never really picked up following the success of this song for the talented artist whose great potential seemingly wasn’t enough to guarantee a place in the sun on the then-burgeoning R&B scene.
Still, she delivered a classic for the ages that is still being celebrated today. So for that, we give an eternal salute.
Much like the Brandy and Monica, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears, and other reported female celebrity feuds of history, the catalyst of the beef often derives from external sources. The aforementioned ladies are just a few who have cited ‘the industry’ (which also includes labels and fans) as the impetus of their rivalries which, ironically, later transformed what was once-rumored into reality.
Chance the Rapper believes that exact circumstance applies to the bad blood between rapstresses Cardi B & Nicki Minaj. The 26-year-old, still hot on the promo trail in support of his debut studio album – ‘The Big Day’ – took to ‘Big Boy’ to discuss a number of happenings in his life including fatherhood, his delayed arena tour, and more. When addressing ‘industry politics’ Chance took the chance to discuss his feelings on the beef between B and Minaj.
As he’s in a unique position to do so (having collaborated with both of them in the past), look inside to hear just what he said:
Evelyn Lozada‘s use of racist language and tropes to attack two of her ‘Basketball Wives‘ co-stars has thrown her brand into deep, dark and dangerous waters.
Now, over 10,000 people have signed petitions launched to urge VH1 to remove her from the series.
I’m convinced that Shaunie O’Neal is afraid of bully racist Evelyn Lozada. #BasketballWives Reunion

Small talk wouldn’t exactly be the best way to describe the conversation between #KatyCats as they slammed their fave, Katy Perry, for mishandling her latest two singles, ‘Never Really Over’ and ‘Small Talk’ (the first releases from her yet-titled sixth studio album). While the former initially promised to be a return to chart glory for the 34-year-old with its #15 debut on the Hot 100, the latter – with a #81 peak on the same tally – never really got off to a fighting start even after its accompanying music video premiered to critical acclaim.
For the tunes to have reached their respective peaks organically suggested, at the very minimum, the buying public was still receptive to what Miss Perry has to offer. A feat that, if aided with proper promotion – the Cats believe – would give them a much needed boost toward higher peaks and longevity on the charts. The absence of that awareness building only led their frustration from heated to boiling once it was announced the diva would be taking to television yet again to promote a venture that was unrelated to her new music.

Apparently.
While plugging their #1 hit ‘Senorita’ collaboration, the pair consistently teased the build up to a big kiss. Both in the song’s video and live. All of which saw fans weigh-in.
Now they’ve taken it a step further. See what we mean below…
Tiffany Haddish keeps the funny coming in her latest film ‘Like A Boss.’
The comedienne is joined by Rose Byrne in the flick, which sees them star as best friends (Mel and Mia) who run a cosmetics company they’ve built from the ground up.
