Fierce femcee Azealia Banks Pop’s it up for Paper magazine’s latest issue.

The colour-burst shoot sees the 21 year old strike many an outlandish pose, as she continues her steady penetration into the mainstream.

Ms. Banks may currently be without management, yet whoever is steering her ship is doing an impeccable job. From the MET Ball to the mixtapes, to the magazines. Come the September release of her debut LP ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’, the industry may have another female Rap force on their hands. Look out, Nicki!

For fans of the Rapper DMX, the footage below may be a little difficult to swallow.

During a brief visit to radio station Hot 97, the ‘Dog Man’ engaged in conversation with Peter Rosenberg, who is still dealing with the aftermath of his attack on Rap Empress Nicki Minaj.

However, while X’s ‘remarks’ on the matter make for a ‘colorful’ listen, it’s his behavior during the interview that has many fans concerned for his well being.

Not sure what we mean?

2012 is shaping up to be Lil Kim‘s year.

Launching the long awaited ‘Return Of The Queen‘ tour to welcoming audiences across the US, and landing a number of guest spots on the BET network, the last few months have given the star a lot to smile about.

Now, one more reason’s been added to that list. For, if the snap above is anything to go by, she has fallen in love.

Born and raised in New York’s Manhattan, Adrienne Bailon rose to fame as one third of Urban trio 3LW back in the year 2000.

The launching pad for a career which saw her join Disney’s ‘The Cheetah Girls‘, a recurring role in ‘That’s So Raven‘ and ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians‘ and a lucrative deal with Ne-Yo’s Compound Entertainment.

This year, she returned to television by way of hit series, ‘Empire Girls‘.

Airing on The Style Network, the reality TV series- which also stars media personality Julissa Bermudez– follows her as she readies her debut under Ne-Yo‘s leadership, and her day to day life as an entertainer.

So, as long time supporters of Ms. Bailon, it was our pleasure to meet with her last week for a truly insightful interview.

An interview, which saw her share exclusive details on her project, her relationship with The Kardashians, her Latin heritage… and her 3LW bandmates.

One could be forgiven for thinking that, much like the record-buying mass, Madonna had forgotten about her latest album ‘MDNA’.

Still shooting as we type, the clip is being filmed in Italy – where the 53 year old is currently touring.

With stone cold silence greeting her recent efforts as of late, can ‘Turn Up The Radio’ make radio do just that? Take a listen to the cut and let us know below…

After weeks of anticipation, Oprah Winfrey‘s tell all interview with The Kardashians aired last night her ‘OWN’.

Discussing everything from Kris Jenner’s role as their “momager”, Kim‘s short lived marriage to Kris Humphries and their ever growing brand, the interview-though insightful- may be a tad frustrating for any hoping Winfrey would dig up any ‘dirt’ on the family.

Not sure what we mean?
