Can anyone else hear that? Yes- you’d be right in guessing that is the sound of the Beyonce promotional train making its way to a venue near you.

Peep the showing below…

Check out Beyonce on the cover of the latest edition of Time magazine. The singer 29, is poised to make a splash with her new LP ‘4’ – which hits stores on June 28th.  Hotly anticipated, the set is preceded by the singles ‘Run The World (Girls)’ and ‘Best You Never Had’.

Ironically, more ‘time’ is something yours truly feels the ‘4’ project needs. However, the wheels are clearly in motion. For her sake, they need to be driving to the top of the charts.

R&B diva Jennifer Hudson strikes a pose on the set of the video for her new single ‘No One Gonna Love You’. The Rich Harrison produced cut serves as the second single to be lifted from her sophomore set ‘I Remember Me’.

Looking at the sales of the project to date, Hudson will no doubt be hoping record buyers remember it after the release of this song.

Renown for her silence on her personal life, an album to promote means that’s all set to end for Beyonce. Well, somewhat.

Taking a brief break from her X Factor and musical endeavours, Nicole Scherzinger was snapped looking loved up with her longterm boyfriend, race driver Lewis Hamilton at the ‘Cars 2’ premiere in Hollywood yesterday.

The 33 year old stunner is wise to get her smooching time in while she can, for her quest for solo stardom isn’t an easy one. Former Pussycat Doll Scherzinger resumes filming for the auditions stage of X Factor USA this week.

Lady GaGa brought her trademark brand of crazy to the MuchMusic Video Awards in Canada last night. Pop’s most frequent flyer rocked the Ontario audience with stunning renditions of her chart smashes ‘The Edge of Glory’ and ‘Born This Way’ – both lifted from her Platinum selling LP of the same name.

Randomness: Hair, most certainly, grows, in the weirdest of places.

It’s been almost a month since Cheryl Cole was sensationally sacked from the X Factor USA – after just four days on the job. And after a lengthy silence, the 27 year old released a statement today addressing the matter and media circus that has surrounded her since she was given her marching orders.

This week’s From The Vault spotlight’s Pharrell Williams and Jay-Z‘s 2003 classic, ‘Frontin”.

The song, which was a worldwide Top 10 hit, was the 1st single released from ‘The Neptunes Present: Clones’ album, but most importantly Mr Williams’ first strike as an headlining solo act.

What’s interesting about the track is how simple it is. Simple, yet effective. Despite the hitmaker’s lack of vocal prowess, the cut evokes an air of ‘Off The Wall’, particularly the bassline throughout the song. Even Skate Board P’s high-pitched delivery gives a nod to classic MJ. As ever, Jay-Z comes in and delivers his rap effortlessly.

The video may yet another house party, yet with a ‘is more’ approach taken to both the production and visual, this is hands down one of The Neptunes’ finer moments!
