Almost a month since it was revealed that Rap mogul Jay Z was expecting his first child with Pop veteran Beyonce, the ‘Big Pimpin‘ maestro has spoken on the news publicly for the first time.

Sharing  his thoughts on  his latest business venture with the one time New Jersey Jets with ‘Good Day New York’ , he also used the opportunity to   dish on gender of the year’s most anticipated arrival.

Check out ‘Orange County Girl‘  Gwen Stefani taking a quiet stroll in London’s Primrose Hill just hours ago.

Almost unrecognizable behind her shades, the shots come some time after she confirmed she would no longer continue work as a solo entertainer.

Renowned  for delivering both upbeat and intense performances, Pop Prince Chris Brown found himself in what can only be described as an embarrassing situation when he took a tumble during a performance of the song ‘Beautiful People’ on his ‘F.A.M.E Tour‘.

Watch the fall and his response to it at the 3 minute 10 mark, below….

After stopping by in the city of London to shoot the video for the single ‘Criminal‘ and promote its supporting album, Britney Spears treated fans in Moscow last night to her well publicized  ‘Femme Fatale Tour‘ showing.

The tour which is currently on its European leg, recently broke records when it was confirmed that it had grossed  $6.2 million within the first ten dates of its North American leg.

Together they’ve conjured up some of the biggest hits of the last 20 years, and by the looks of it seem to be cooking up more. Of course, we’re talking about Mariah Carey and hitmaker Jermaine Dupri.

The pair were snapped back in the studio together this weekend, presumably for Carey’s hotly anticipated new studio album.

Despite boasting a long list of smashes, both are at points of their careers where they need to serve up something fresh, new, and resonating. Qualities Carey went in search of in 2009 (to little avail) when she ditched Durpi for The Dream on chart flop ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’.

In any case, here’s hoping they whip up something more than ‘We Belong Together’ re-hashes ala the bulk of their work on their last substancial outing ‘E=MC2’. For, they are clearly capable of greatness; and oh is the industry in need of that right now.

Your thoughts?

Get familiar with ‘2 Young To Give  A Fxxx’, the latest collaboration by Chris Brown and long time friend Bow Wow.

Surfacing just days after it was confirmed they were to join forces at Brown’s ‘F.A.M.E Tour‘, the lyrics see both entertainers ‘modestly’ declare their love for life’s more superficial offerings.

Funky divas JLS today revealed the cover for ‘Jukebox’ – their third studio album. Due on November 14th, the colourful set is preceded by chart smash ‘She Makes Me Wanna’ and new single ‘Take A  Chance On Me’.

Beyond wondering which shade of MAC they use, I can’t but question what separates them musically and visually from what they were doing 3 years ago. When that answer is a resounding ‘nothing’, their longevity immediately comes back into question.

Still, they seem to be on a “strike while the iron’s hot” MO, so more power them them, ay?

Rising rapper J. Cole is getting ready to roll out his debut LP ‘Cole World: A Sideline Story’ on September 27th.  Preceded by the recently unveiled, Trey Songz-assisted ‘Can’t Get Enough’, the young emcee has most definitely been making his promo rounds.  Most recently, the ‘Who Dat’ performer can be caught on the cover of ‘Rolling Out’ magazine.

There, he covered the usual topics – his album, Jay-Z, Rihanna, tour plans, Rihanna, his rise to fame, and Rihanna.

And then, in a departure from his usual dish, the Roc nation rapper addressed Rihanna.  See the spread below via Rolling Out (Rihanna not included):

Do you guys believe that J. Cole is really the ‘heir to the throne?’

‘Pretty Girl Rock’ performer Keri Hilson is the latest mover and shaker to lend her name to First Lady Michelle Obama’s ‘Let’s Move’ campaign.  Joining the likes of fellow diva Beyonce, the Atlanta-native was most recently spotted at Educational Alliance’s Sirovich Senior Center in New York donning a t-shirt with the print ‘Pretty Girls Sweat’.

If ‘Jumping Trains’ conductress Jojo‘s promo hustle is anything to go by, her return to the pop charts is definitely on the right track.  With her single ‘Disaster’ steadily making its way up charts, the songstress is seeing her way onto the red carpet of many-an-event in conjunction with radio stops and a nationwide tour.  And, with her forthcoming album ‘Jumping Trains’ not scheduled to hit record shelves until next year, it’s safe to say that this is just the beginning.

Most recently spotted with our friends over at andPOP.com, Ms. Levesque chatted about growing up in the spotlight, her forthcoming album and more.  See the action after the jump:

The first broadcast performance of “Without You” saw ‘Nice and slow’ singer Usher slow things down a tad with super DJ David Guetta at last night’s Las Vegas spectacle “IHeartRadio Music Festival”. Hosted at the famed MGM Grand Garden Arena, the cut – lifted from Guetta’s latest LP ‘Nothing But the Beat’ – is just one of many from its parent album getting the live treatment in the past few weeks.

Joining the likes of fellow pop and R&B favorites billed for the festival (Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys, etc), find out how Mr. Raymond fared after the jump:
