In recent years, the Wireless Festival has become one of the UK’s most celebrated. It’s super fitting, then, that this year organizers have tapped two of music’s biggest royals to headline –  Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z.

Prince Michael Jackson, son of late King of Pop Michael Jackson, is indeed following in his famous father’s footsteps in his pursuit of the entertainment industry.  However, as this week will prove, the young Jackson is looking to make his mark on a different side of the lens.

Lending his talents to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, today saw the announcement of the 16-year-old’s new gig as media correspondent.  While it is yet known how often he will contribute, Prince is certainly hoping this is just the beginning of his love affair with media as he’s quoted saying:

“I’m looking to become well-rounded as a producer, director, screenwriter and actor.”

Time will certainly tell if he gets there, but given his family history of successful acts, we’re sure he doesn’t have much to worry about.

The snap above could not be more fitting for the succeeding story as the last month has seen New York-bred beauty Azealia Banks serve (and be served) a seemingly neverending platter of beef.

From newcomer Angel Haze to Perez Hilton and other highly documented showdowns, the ‘Van Vogue’ vixen has definitely dished a dollop of PR disasters that seem to grow in number weekly.

Now, after the backlash received from last week’s renewed tweet beef with Hilton, a recent interview saw Banks come to her own defense in a tirade aimed at gays rights organizations and sensitive readers.  Read the rapstress’s rant below:

While there is no denying Ms. Fenty’s stunner status, her record sales remain subject of ample debate. Put simply, she simply is not selling what the “power in her name” demands that she should or could be. Indeed, four months after the release of her latest LP ‘Unapologetic’, the ‘Diamonds’ led set has shifted 679,500 copies in the US. “Decent” given the current sales climate, yet shocking when considering that many of her chart rivals sell this in the first week (see: Lady GaGa, Beyonce, Adele).

Clearly, it’ll take more than fierce magazine covers and flaunting a relationship that is ‘Nobody’s Business’ to upgrade her from a singles artist to one who shifts albums. Slowly but surely, ay?
