As reported here,  the 2015 Primetime Emmy nominations were unveiled today to honor the year’s most spectacular moments and people on television.

While the historic nominations of Taraji P. Henson (‘Empire’) and Viola Davis (‘How To Get Away With Murder’) could lend the first time in history an African American woman walks away with the ‘Best Actress’ primetime Emmy, other coveted categories are looking just as good for some of entertainment’s leading ladies.

‘Telephone’ duo Lady Gaga and Beyonce are considered frontrunners in their respective categories while fellow pop diva Katy Perry‘s ‘Super Bowl’ outing  – like Bey and Bruno Mars before her, nabbed a mention in this year’s ‘Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program’ category.

See who they’ll be competing against below:

‘Real Sisters’ hitmaker Future kept it all the way real during a recent interview with Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club when quizzed on his recent comments about his sex life with Grammy winning ex-girlfriend Ciara.

Keeping it cool overall, when mention of their child – Future Jr. – arose, the rapper heated up quite a bit for Ci allowing her current boyfriend, footballer Russell Wilson, to be so involved in the 1-year-old’s life.

In addition, the proud papa of 4 minced no words with his disappointment for her keeping mum as the media continues to slam him as an absentee father and cheater.

Hear it from his mouth below:

While the world gets ready for the 2015 ESPY Awards and the courage celebration of famed athlete turned reality star Caitlyn Jenner, there’s one person she shouldn’t expect to get a standing O from on July 15th – ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star Lil Scrappy.

The ‘No Problem’ hitmaker has quite the problem on his hands after a recent interview with our buds at VladTV saw him go all the way in on the transgender community – namely Jenner – when he proclaimed:

 ”For the world of young kids, for the world of young little boys, stick to what you were made to be. If you got a penis, be a penis,” he said.

Citing racism as part of the reason Caitlyn has been so accepted, Scrappy continued:

”No Black man can stand up and say, ‘You know, my whole life I felt like a woman, but I was just holding it down for my kids and my b-tch.’ We say that sh-t, n—gga, we’d get assassinated– by us [other black people]. We [black people] don’t play that sh-t.”

See the interview below that has the LGBTQ community and supporters in an uproar:
