‘U Don’t Have To Call’ crooner Usher has called upon R&B superproducer Pharrell for yet another thumping collaboration.  The song ‘Twisted’, listed on his June 12th due ‘Looking 4 Myself’, is an ode to a time before both performer’s dominated charts.  Stepping away from the Urban pop sounds of the song ‘Scream’ that precedes it, Ush looked to wet fans’ appetites with the many sounds they can expect on the summer set.

Going onto ink a deal with TI‘s ‘Grand Hustle’, the MC- by way of Twitter- led many to believe she was  the proud owner of a joint deal between both groups, readying  her debut album ‘The New Classic’ for this June.

However, in a shock twist, TI has revealed that Iggy is a free-agent and has not inked a deal with Interscope, despite earlier claims that she did.

After scoring her second UK #1 single on Sunday, Rita Ora hit London Town with alleged boyfriend Rob Kardashian in celebration of the feat.

Joined by a small group of friends, the pair hit the city’s ‘Whisky Mist‘ greeted by paparazzi before they made their way in.

Ora’s sighting came hours after she beat Rihanna to become the first ‘ROC’ act to land two consecutive UK #1s, with her first two singles.

This, down to the fact Fenty did not score #1 in the country until 2007 with ‘Umbrella’, two years after the release of her debut single ‘Pon De Replay‘.

And with the June 19th release of his ‘Believe’ LP drawing nearer, the “adult” ‘Boyfriend’ singer attempts to whip up heightened buzz by stripping off for Viddy.
