As studio albums go, Leona Lewis boasts a talent which should see her selling records by the bucketload ala fellow Brit Adele. However, as her sophomore set and serially delayed 3rd album have shown, things haven’t quite played out as such for the LA-based Londoner.

Indeed, following the so-so performance of her latest single ‘Collide’ this Summer, her 3rd opus ‘Glassheart’ was bumped to next year, much to the chargin of her fans.

However, a ray of light has emerged in the form of a new EP which Lewis is lining up for release much sooner than you may think.

Say what you will about Rihanna and her ‘voice‘, but the last few years have proved that when it comes to fashion- she certainly knows how to put a mean outfit together.

Now in a further bid to strengthen her ever in tact brand, she has lent her skills to the fashion house Armani to create ‘Rihanna For Armani‘, available in stores in coming days.

Check out Ms. Fenty’s designs below…

As earlier reported, Kelly Rowland is keeping her momentum going with not one, but two new music videos.

The first of which, ‘Keep It Between Us’, is being shot in Paris as we type – with the singer sharing a shot from the set on her official website a few moments ago. Actor Lance Goss serves as the 30 year old’s lead love interest.

A clip for fellow ‘Here I Am’ cut ‘Feeling Me Right Now’ is set to be shot in London shortly.

Kelly Rowland may still be in the midst of promoting her current album, ‘Here I Am’, but that hasn’t stopped the Destiny’s Child alum from commencing work on its follow-up.

We spoke to the ‘Motivation’ singer earlier this month, a chat which saw her exclusively reveal details of the project to That Grape Juice; the most notable being that the LP will be out much sooner than expected.

Whatever the exact release date, it’s clear preparations are clearly underway to capitalise on Rowland’s 2011 success moving into 2012. And with many feeling that the ball was somewhat dropped with this project, there are calls for album #4 to right the wrongs of its predecessor. Such calls largely centre around promotion, however continued relevance in the industry often boils down to innovating and serving up something “new” with each release.

As such, we want to know what YOU think Kelly’s next album “should” sound like.

Confused?

A leggy Lady GaGa was snapped sporting this ‘out-there’ ensemble last night at the 39th International Emmy Awards in New York last night.

The singer, whose video for new single ‘Marry The Night’ is expected any day now, is currently re-structuring her team ahead of a tour next year after severing ties with creative director Laurieann Gibson recently.

Undoubtedly still high from her double win last night at the 2011 American Music Awards, fashion forward femcee Nicki Minaj is moving forward with the successor to her successful #1 debut album ‘Pink Friday’.

Speaking with Cash Money record label CEO Birdman, Billboard got the latest dish on the diva (whose first new single maybe dropping sooner than you think):

While the world anxiously awaits the victor of the ‘My Life II’ and ‘Talk That Talk’ showdown, November 21st marks another diva showdown that has had fans talking – concert dvds.  Undoubtedly hoping to capitalize from Black Friday sales, chart titans Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, and Britney Spears are all releasing concert DVDs this week (with Adele and Beyonce following shortly after on November 28th and 29th respectively).

Given that all of the ladies have lent their live shows to a major network (HBO, EPIX, VEVO, etc), you’ve already been given a sneak peek.

So tell us…who will you be adding to your collection?

Fans can certainly expect to see more of Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J. Blige in the coming weeks as her long awaited album ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues Act 1’ hit stores today.  However, with the album’s second single (‘Mr. Wrong’) video completed, Act 2 of the album looking to hit shelves in May, and 2 movies up her sleeve, its safe to say 2012 will be a busy year for MJB and fanbase.

Still glowing after her show stopping performance of ‘Mr. Wrong’ at last night’s 2011 American Music Awards, the ‘Give Me You’ diva gave fans a list of things they could look forward to seeing her in (including mentions of touring).  Find out where you can catch the Grammy winner after the jump:

‘Vision of Love’ diva Mariah Carey offers a view of her new holiday release ‘When Christmas Comes’ featuring soulful crooner John Legend.  The cut rejoins the hitmakers for a reboot of the track originally featured on Mimi’s 2010 ‘Merry Christmas II You’ collection.

As the accompanying visual is set to debut in the coming weeks, those unfamiliar with the yuletide tune can take a listen here.

Beyonce is drumming up a bevy of buzz for her ‘Live at Roseland: Elements of 4’ DVD (released today).  With her already devoted legion of fans pledging purchase of the project, the singer looks to entice to undecided with more releases from the set.

Hosting a live visual of her greatest hits (and gems from acclaimed album ‘4’), the album also contains official video accompaniment to most of the songs on the parent album.  And, as ‘Countdown’ and ‘Love On Top’ quickly became fan favorites, Bey’s succeeding venture ‘Party’ (featuring J. Cole) has surely joined the bunch.

Now you can get into all the (extended) behind the scenes action of the beloved visual below:

Hot mama! ‘Touch My Body’ diva Mariah Carey has taken every opportunity to show off her new body as she makes her rounds as the new spokesperson for ‘Jenny’.  Exciting her ever-faithful legion of fans, Roc and Roe’s mom tweeted this photo of her hard at work at her forthcoming, yet-titled album (the follow-up to 2009’s quickly forgotten ‘Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel’).

With claims that ‘pregnancy has made her voice stronger’, here’s hoping that ol Mimi can deliver on that claim.  For it is certainly unbecoming of a diva whose vocals once soared to the high heavens and shattered windows on Mt. Olympus to back-track and autotune her way through generic R&B hits.  While the world anxiously awaits her return, we definitely hope the singer is collecting an assortment of producers who can help her remain relevant with contemporary R&B while reviving the sound that made her famous in the first place.
