Christina Milian‘s seven year hiatus from the charts has been defined by label changes,  a baby, boyfriends, husbands, and a brief stint as a backstage host on The Voice.

Now back in the musical saddle (and capitalising on the exposure from her new E! reality show), Cash Money‘s newest recruit serves up new single ‘Rebel’.

Carved in the vein of today’s trend of mellow “turn-up” cuts, can the track catapult her back into the favour of the masses and, most importantly, to the top of the charts?

It was the thud heard around the world.

Madonna‘s fall at the 2015 BRIT Awards this week continues to garner headlines and social media plays aplenty.

And while many found humor in the misstep, as evidenced by the myriad of memes and gifts that flooded the net, there was a very serious side to the matter which is now becoming apparent.

During a new interview on The Jonathan Ross Show (set to air in full next month), Material Madge revealed that doctors checked on her until 3am following Wednesday’s showing to ensure she wasn’t concussed.

She also explained that, having anticipated the fall after realising her cape wouldn’t de-tach in time, it was her experience falling off horses that cushioned the impact.

Ever outspoken, Kanye West is renown for staying firm is his word and walking his talk.

However, in the wake of his widely publisized rant against Beck‘s Album of the Year win over Beyonce at the 2015 Grammys, the ‘FourFiveSeconds’ rapper has been hung, drawn, and quartered by critics, artists, and countless others.

‘Empire’ director Lee Daniels believes he knows why and blames the ‘Parkers’ diva’s “reverse racism” as the cause.  Click below to hear him sound off on the unfortunate incident:

Madonna

Tonight’s ‘Brit Awards 2015’ saw Queen of Pop Madonna took a royal tumble on stage as she opened the performance of her latest chart-topper ‘Living For Love.’ Violently yanked to the ground by an apparently enthusiastic dancer, the songstress – in true diva fashion – was able to get through the rest of the performance without a hitch.

This, just shortly after news that the stage rolling singer is the face of March’s ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine.
