Since her passing last July, the issue of who would inherit Amy Winehouse‘s money has remained ever present, following confirmation that she did not leave a will.

This week, that question was answered.

Ignoring past mistakes of mixing business with boyfriends, Jennifer Lopez gets up, close, and not so personal with her dancer lover Casper Smart in the video for new single ‘Dance Again’.

Set to premiere on American Idol this Thursday (April 5th), the clip is being teased by team Lopez, who’ll no doubt be hoping the Pitbull assisted cut replicates the success of their last outing – ‘On The Floor’.

Tidbit: On somewhat of a random note, the trac is interestingly being released via Epic Records. Why is this of any relevance? Well, the label had been Lopez’s recording home since the start of her career; that is until LA Reid poached her to join him over at Island Def Jam in 2010. And yet with Reid now heading up Epic, it would appear La Lopez has jumped back home. If indeed so, it’ll be interesting to see how the whole situation plays out given Ciara is reportedly Epic’s biggest priority.

Soulful contralto Toni Braxton stopped by The Wendy Williams Show today to plug her latest projects.

As ever, Wendy didn’t hold back – quizzing the singer on everything from her new album, to her son’s Autism, to the persistent rumours that she’s to leave We tv hit, ‘Braxton Family Values’. The latter saw the ‘Unbreak My Heart’ singer offer quite the “interesting” response.

As fans know, late pop icon Whitney Houston never made it a secret about her love for gospel music.  Over her storied thirty year tenure in the business, she frequently revisited songs of praise in many of her live showings.  Add to this that 2011’s BET Celebration of Gospel was her last televised showing, it would only be fitting that this years celebration (which aired tonight) would lend a praise worthy performance in her honor.

The Voice UK blazed out of the gate last week with impressive ratings upon its debut on BBC One.

It’s an upwards trajectory which shows no sign of slowing after last night’s episode saw a rise in viewers.

The show, which sees Jessie J, will.i.am, Tom Jones and Danny O’Donoghue serve as “coaches”, pulled in almost 9 million viewers (8.9 million) – besting last week’s tally (8.4 million) by a marked margin.

And while the Dutch format was again bested by rival ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ – which pulled in 10.3 million viewers- it beat the ITV1 show during the 20-minute window in which they overlapped; to the the tune of 2 million more viewers to be exact. A fact which lends credence to suggestion that in their respective bids to out-do each other, both shows are actually helping one another.

In any case, we’re loving the show? Are you?
