Little Mix, in many ways, have remixed the “girl band” narrative.

Having won The X Factor in 2011, the Pop quad have amassed eight-years of non-stop success – seemingly growing more potent by the project.

Their trajectory deviates from the tried and true story of such collectives, which – by now – would have seen the ladies dabble in solo careers, reality shows, and indefinite hiatuses. None of which has been the case.

With 2019 underway and latest album ‘LM5’ still in promo cycle, the Little Mix have their eyes on cementing themselves Stateside.

If one fancies him or herself any level of “Pop culture fanatic” over the last 20 years, the name Touré Neblett is one that should ring a bell.

A respected author, music journalist, cultural critic, and more, Neblett – beyond his contributions as a television personality to MSNBC, BET, VH1, etc. –  has interviewed a number of music’s biggest acts in his tenure.  Included on his resume is a now infamous 2008 sitdown with R.

True Mariah Carey fans are no strangers to the name Walter Afanasieff.

The celebrated songwriter, famous for his work with the likes of Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, and more, is probably most known for helping pen some of Carey’s biggest hits including ‘Hero,’ ‘Anytime You Need a Friend,’ and one of the most well-known holiday songs of all time, ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You.’

The latter, which reached its Hot 100 peak this week (24 years after its release), has become a staple during the yuletide season – a bittersweet fact for Afanasieff as he and the diva have not spoken for over 20 years and she (according to him) continues to take sole credit for its creation.

Recently taking to press to not only outline the status of his relationship with the pop icon but also dish on what led to their fall out and how he believes she is trying to erase him from the historic holiday hit. Look inside for some jaw-dropping quotes:

Cop a gander at Jennifer Lopez!

“Dramatic” and “bold” are undoubtedly understatements when describing the popping pink Giambattista Valli gown the diva rocked in New York City to the Wednesday night (December 12) premiere of her latest film, ‘Second Act.’
