It may have made stars out of ‘Atlanta’s Erica Dixon and ‘New York’s Erica Mena, but it seems Mona Scott-Young‘s ‘Love & Hip Hop’ empire wasn’t as keen to welcome Urban model Sidney Starr, famed for her supposed relationship with rapper Chingy.

Why the transgender TV hopeful says she wasn’t cast in any of ‘Hip Hop’s spinoffs?

Her claims below…

It’s here!

The hotly anticipated trailer for the ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ movie was unzipped moments ago.

Rich in its ability to tease and titillate, the sneak peek at the film, which arrives on Valentines Day 2015, has many buzzing because it features an entirely new version of Beyonce‘s signature smash ‘Crazy In Love’. The high-octane number receives an almost gothic flavoured remix – featuring all new vocals from the superstar singer.

So really, what are you waiting for. All the seductive action awaits below…

Last week, ‘Stay’ star Rihanna ruffled political feathers when she chimed in on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Indeed, as recent fighting between the pair claimed more lives, the singer weighed in on the matter by tweeting ‘Free Palestine.’

Then, after being slammed by spectators who questioned how much she knew on the subject she was now weighing in on, the singer deleted the tweet, replaced it with another encouraging peace and looked on as a “source close to her” claimed “she didn’t even realise it was a tweet until she started hearing from her fans.”

Now watch as actor D.L Hughley shares his thoughts on Riri‘s supposed political stance.

Why he thinks she published the tweet on purpose?

Despite burying the beef with former foe Chris Brown, it appears Drake isn’t ditching the digs when it comes to another rival.

During his stint as host during last night’s ESPY Awards, the rapper used his opening segment to take aim at Hip-Hop’s apparent new punching bag Macklemore.

The ‘Same Love’ MC has inadvertently come under intense scrutiny from the Urban community after controversially sweeping the board at the Grammy Awards and taking home the top Rap honors in the process. Heat only intensified when Macklemore (in reference to his ‘Best Rap Album’ win) went on to proclaim that Kenrick Lamar deserved the gong instead – a move Drizzy dragged him for at the time.

Fast forward six months, and it appears Drake isn’t done with the digs.

What did he say during his skit? Find out below…

A loaded statement, perhaps, yet it’s fair to say that Shonda Rhimes is the reigning queen of the small screen.

ABC certainly concur; for they have – quite literally – given the TV producer their most coveted primetime block. As such, from the start of this Fall, three Rhimes shows will begin every hour on the hour from 8pm-10pm every Thursday. The titles awarded this sweet spot are ‘Greys Anatomy’, new series ‘How To Get Away With Murder’, and of course ‘Scandal’.

As reported, the Kerry Washington led series returns for a fourth season on September 25th. And, so as to create room for freshman show ‘Murder’ (which’ll air at 10pm) moves up an hour to 9pm.

Sitting down with the folk over at The Hollywood Reporter, Rhimes dished on what fans can expect from the latest series of the political drama – including the fate of Harrison (the character played by axed cast-member Columbus Short).

A number of interesting quotes await below…

“Tell me what you see when you look at me.”

The above may have been demanded by her husband’s former flame Christina Milian, but it’s a statement Mariah Carey needn’t ask today, as the world already the knows the answer to it.

You ready for it?

FICTION!

Yes, in giving ‘Murder She Wrote‘s Jessica Fletcher a Usain Bolt-sized run for her money, Mimi continues to serve up fiction in abundance with her recent shoot for ‘Wonderland‘ magazine.

Unfortunately, said fiction hasn’t gone do too well with the folks over at ‘Jezebel’, who have slammed the singer for her shocking use of ‘Photo Shop‘ in the snaps.

What they had to say on the matter?
