Hawaiian hitmaker Nicole Scherzinger recently shook things up for her sexy shoot with Vegas Magazine.  The accompanying interview, which sees the vixen chat on everything from X Factor to her rise to fame and more, can be found here.

The set surfaces shortly after it was announced that Scherzinger will assume the role of Mary Magdalene in the feature film version of famed Andrew Lloyd Webber musical ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’.  Fans shouldn’t get too excited, however, as it will not debut until 2014.

R&B beauty Alicia Keys lent some of her time and talents to her alma mater (New York’s Professional Performing Arts High School) for the Western Union-sponsored ‘The World of Betters’.  Joining her already growing list of charitable efforts, the songstress used the platform to donate instruments to the school as well as announce an online contest where contestants submit stories on how they’d improve another person’s life with $1000.

See the ‘Like You’ll Never See Me Again’ singer below:

R&B heartthrob Trey Songz took to Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club to dish on the latest happenings of his career.  With the double release of mixtapes ‘Anticipation II’ and “LemmeHoldDatBeat2″ making waves on the net, the official LP ‘Chapter 5’ dropping next year,  and upcoming film projects, it’s safe to say Trigga has been quite the busy man.

Also chatting about his recent trip to Africa, the singer revealed he has an EP due November 29th (with all proceeds going to charity).  Find out what else the ‘Love Faces’ crooner found time to talk about after the jump:

In the spirit of the similarly billed, some ‘performers’ perform best when mute.  The posterchild of such notion is certainly no-time Grammy winning vocal less vocalist Cassie.  The ‘Long Way 2 Go’ singer, whose growing endorsement deals include Carol’s Daughter, saw her lend her look to a recent campaign for the beauty brand.

Needless to say, when in her native territory, the model-with-a-micserves of h-e-a-t on a platter!

Word has it the songstress is not only putting the finishing touches on her forthcoming album, but she is readying a new music video for ‘King of Hearts’ (scheduled for release in the coming weeks).  The video features choreography from none other than famed Lady Gaga choreo-craftswoman Laurie Ann Gibson.

Beyonce does a ‘take 2’ on ‘1+1’ – the critically acclaimed ballad lifted from her similarly praised platinum ‘4’ album.  Bee’s ‘buzzing’ Halloween costume is certainly fitting as the releases of the visuals for ‘Party’, ‘Love on Top’, ‘Countdown’, and others (all surfacing in a short period of time) are assuredly building buzz for her video anthology (and ‘Live at Roseland’) DVD dropping in three weeks.

While we’ve acquainted you with the behind the scenes action, fans have now been welcomed to the director’s edition.  Does the clip make the cut?  You decide after the jump:

‘Chasing Pavements’ performer Adele is sure to turn heads with her stunning Cosmopolitan cover – set to hit stands November 8th.  The chart titan, who recently underwent surgery on her vocal chords and slammed reports of throat cancer, disappointed many-a-fan with news she cancelled the remaining dates on her whirlwind tour. Fans should rest assure, however, they will still get to see the songstress lend the live treatment to her many hits.

Her live CD and DVD, entitled ‘Live at Royal Albert Hall’, was recorded/shot in September and will hit shelves on November 29th (already available for pre-order).
