Beyonce‘s hotly anticipated Levi’s commercial is here!

Today (September 30), the iconic brand unzipped details of their multi-tiered partnership with Queen Bey; one which draws inspiration from her innovative approach to art, culture, and storytelling.

Comprised of several chapters, the campaign reimagines classic Levi’s looks and films.

Lensed by Melina Matsoukas (who has directed films such as ‘Queen & Slim’ as well as music videos for Beyonce), the first film in the rollout is inspired by ‘Launderette’ – the 1985 ad that famously turbo-charged ‘I Heard It Through the Grapevine’ on the charts.

For this refreshed incarnation, Beyonce’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ hit ‘Levii’s Jeans’ aptly takes center stage.

Watch the commercial after the jump, where word from Beyonce on the partnership also awaits…

Jussie Smollett is pounding the promotional pavement in support of his new movie, ‘The Lost Holliday.’

And while the actor is looking to move beyond his highly-publicized dramas following his conviction for reporting a “hoax attack,” questions around the matter and its effect on professional relationships persist.

TMZ caught up with the former ‘Empire’ star and quizzed him on remarks made by Lee Daniels.

As reported, the creative force deemed Smollett “was a son” to me but insisted the legal melée was “confusing” and that he still didn’t know what to believe.

Head below to see what Smollett had to say in response.

Katy Perry strut back onto the scene with her seventh studio album, ‘143.’

Named after the numerical translation for ‘love,’ the upbeat set saw the Pop star dart onto the dancefloor with unapologetic gusto.

Purposefully upbeat, the project was previewed by way of singles such as ‘Woman’s World,’ ‘Lifetimes,’ and ‘I’m His, He’s Mine’ with Deochii.

The journey to the LP’s release hasn’t been without its speedbumps, however.

Indeed, sans ‘Woman’s World,’ none of the follow-up offerings have managed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

There has also been the omnipresent discourse surrounding Dr. Luke‘s contribution to the record given the headlines and legal drama that have plagued the producer in recent years. And, even though the hitmaker was never found liable for anything he stood accused of, the sour public sentiment appears to have spilled into corners of Perry’s campaign if online chatter is anything to go by.

Still, with the final numbers tallied, there’s been some reprieve.
