When queens collide!  Ye should prepare yourselves for royal entertainment!

Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J. Blige‘s unceremonious snubbing from the 2012 Academy Awards nominations has caused quite an uproar with fans and industry insiders alike.  Never shy on a matter, Mary took to  Twitter Tuesday to voice her own displeasure with the diss.

Despite making rounds for ‘The Living Proof’ – her acclaimed inclusion on ‘The Help’ soundtrack, Mary is still moving on the promo trail for her ‘My Life II’ set.  Spotted on Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’ last night, the New York native was quizzed on a number of topics including her album, the Oscar snub, her thoughts on young R&B (Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Chris Brown, etc), and the dueling divas – Madonna and Elton John.

Fans may recall that Madonna’s ‘Masterpiece’ recently bested both Blige and John for ‘Best Original Song’ at its own 2012 ceremony.  And, with Blige and John sharing mutual support and multiple duets in the past, spectators have long sought the R&B beauty’s thoughts on the longstanding Madge and Elton beef.

In this hilarious interview, you can find out the ‘No More Drama’ diva’s view on the drama after the jump:

Grammy winner. Golden Globe/Oscar winner. Best selling author.  The accolades for ‘Spotlight’ singer Jennifer Hudson continue to shine (and grow) as her 2012 rolls on.  Still with two films in the pipeline and more dates booked for her now New York Times listed best selling book ‘I Got This’, its safe to say that Jen’s upcoming honeymoon probably won’t be very long given the demands of her increasing schedule since teaming up with weight loss giants Weight Watchers.

While fans at every stop of her extensive book tour gleamed to see the American Idol alum at her arrivals, those fans not so lucky have been gifted a video diary detailing her travels.
