Taylor Swift‘s ‘Reputation’ may be off to rocky start.

Keen to capitalise on what has been a tumultuous year, the superb singer/songwriter announced that her new LP would be called just that giving fans good reason to believe the set will see her address the decline in her Pop approval ratings.

Alas, any efforts she hopes to employ to turn things around now find themselves faced with the obstacle that is Twitter.

For, several users have expressed that they are still disgusted by Swift’s supposed attempt to publicly humiliate the African-American artist Kanye West.

Pink‘s efforts to pull the heat out of her rivalry with Christina Aguilera have been to no avail this week as their fans continue to clash online.

Why?

Aguilera’s supporters had hoped that she would receive this year’s Vanguard award from the MTV Video Music Awards and were crushed when they learned that Pink was to receive it.

Now, to ensure that the world understands why they detest her, Aguilera’s Fighters have clawed into the past to pull catty moments from their beef into the present.

‘Basketball Wives’, VH1’s answer to ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ continues to face criticism following the end of another poorly-produced season.

Fans of the series will know that its ‘Miami’ arm was cancelled following the departure of its leading lady Evelyn Lozada forcing Shaunie O’Neal and Tami Roman to seek refuge over at the Jackie Christie-fronted ‘Basketball Wives Los Angeles.’

Alas, despite serving as the show’s lifeblood for years, Christie found herself on the receiving end of on-camera abuse by her co-stars who now seem to be using her horrific treatment of her oldest daughter to tarnish her image and eventually smudge her out of the picture.

How Jackie and social media feel about this?

Toni Braxton proved a ratings draw for Lifetime last year when her biopic ‘Unbreak My Heart’ commanded a colossal audience.

Two girls. Same city…different networks.

In 1996 ABC unlocked the TV series ‘Clueless‘ following the success of the movie of the same name and a year later, with its sights set black audiences home and away, UPN built ‘Moesha’ which starred the singer Brandy.

It wasn’t long, as both shows rocked their respective networks’ worlds with superb ratings, before fans cried out for a crossover episode but saw their hopes dashed when it became clear that the rivalry between said networks meant it was impossible.

Then, the impossible happened.

Much to UPN’s delight, structural changes at ABC saw it forced to abandon ‘Clueless’ clearing the way for it to swoop down and rescue the series from cancellation. What this meant?

The ditzy Cher and the sassy Moesha were now sisters.

Two years would pass before the network answered their fans’ prayers by unlocking a crossover episode in 1999 and today, in honour of the epic TV moment, we celebrate it by making it the subject of this week’s edition of ‘Retro Rewind.’

Rob Kardashian’s nemesis Rarri True is reportedly in talks to join the cast of ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ following the departure of its ratings rock Joseline Hernandez.

Alas, sources close to the rising Urban star claim he feels production is unwilling to cough up the cash he feels his ties to Rob and Chyna make him entitled to.

TMZ spills:

Contracts have been circulated but not signed, and the unresolved issue is money. Ferrari’s moved on and has already hooked up with someone else, and that relationship will be featured on the show.

It’s official…Ryan Seacrest has returned to ‘American Idol.’

Booted from Fox after its ratings slipped, the show was recently picked up by ABC who called on Katy Perry to stand as one of its judges.

For months, producers were locked into meetings with host Seacrest with hopes of finalising a deal which worked for all parties and, much to the delight of his fans, this week has seen them do just that.

 

ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey beamed…

Much of American Idol’s overwhelming success can be attributed to Ryan, whose larger-than-life personality and laudable dedication to creating quality entertainment has made him a true master of his craft. His talent is limitless, and I can’t think of a more appropriate person to honor the Idol legacy as it takes on new life than the man who has been there through it all.

Ryan added…

It’s genuinely hard to put into words what American Idol means to me. I’m so grateful for the show and all the career and life opportunities it’s allowed me to experience. It’s been an incredible journey from day one. To be asked to return this year, at my new home at Disney|ABC, is an honor, if not a bit surreal.

Rarely do spin-off’s and sequels best the original. However, for VH1’s ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ franchise, it’s occurred not once but twice.

Ratings for the Atlanta branch of the royally ratchet series continually top that of the New York anchor and the Hollywood series is making a serious beeline for the top-spot with its sizzling storylines.

With its return set for next Monday (July 24th), an action-packed super-trailer has been unlocked for season 4 of  ‘Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood.’

As reported, R&B singers Keyshia Cole and Brooke Valentine have joined the cast – and, per the preview, are bringing drama aplenty.

Also back in the mix are the likes of Ray J, Teairra Mari, Nikki Baby, Moniece, Safaree and Lyrica Anderson.

With each passing episode it seems TNT’s breakout new series, ‘Claws,’ is leaving more and more of a mark on its legion of growing fans.  For that reason and more, the network has renewed the Niecy Nash-led dramedy for a season 2, set to kick off in 2018.

Currently just midway through its inaugural season, the critically acclaimed series – also starring Karrueche Tran, Carrie Preston, and more – follows the lives of manicurists at a Floridian nail salon who have become wrapped up in some serious illegal activity.

And, if the way Twitter is set alight when the show airs is any indication, fans are wrapped up right along with them.

Deadline reports:

Five episodes in, Claws — from producers Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, creator Eliot Laurence and showrunner Janine Sherman Barrois — has become the highest-rated TNT series launched since the cable network’s programming shift last year under the new regime.

It also is the youngest-skewing TNT drama series. Ranking as cable’s No. 4 new drama with adults 18-49 for 2017-to-date and No. 4 cable drama in social engagement, Claws is reaching a multiplatform audience of 6.3 million viewers per episode across TNT’s linear, digital, mobile and on-demand platforms and averaging 1.1 million adults 18-49 in linear Live + 7.

 

‘Claws’ airs Sundays at 9 PM, with the season finale set for August 13th.
