The ceremony for the event was held on September 19 and it gathered the original ‘American Idol’ judge panel – Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Paula Abdul – to celebrate.

Cowell said of Clarkson:

“I always say if someone knows their lane, you’re gonna be a star, if you got the talent. And Kelly has always known her lane.”

The ‘Since U Been Gone’ singer’s children and mother also joined her at the occasion.

Queen of Quiet Storm Anita Baker sent her fans (and Las Vegas box offices) into a frenzy earlier this year with the kickoff of her second limited engagement at The Venetian Resort.

Setting sales records for the venue after the tickets were snapped up in record time, the R&B legend not only extended her stay in Sin City as a result of the demand but eventually announced she’d be taking the act on the road via a North American tour.

But as longtime fans of the diva await official news on which cities she’ll be bringing her soaring pipes to on the forthcoming trek, she took to Twitter over the weekend to reveal she may be heading back to the Vegas Strip soon!

Cardi B is clapping back at detractors who suggest she’s not being completely forthcoming about her sexual preferences.

Having fielded criticisms for allegedly ‘queer baiting’ in the past, the GRAMMY winner is no stranger to skeptics suggesting her bisexual antics on screen are strictly performative and not reflective of her true self.

On Monday (September 19), however, the mom of two reminded her followers that although she is happily married to rapper Offset, she still identifies as a card-carrying member of the LGBTQ+ community.

See what sparked her reiterated commentary inside.

‘Talk to Me’ hitmaker Tory Lanez can expect to be talking to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) soon for his role in an alleged attack on R&B singer August Alsina.

As we reported here, Alsina took to the net to say he was assaulted by the “receding haired leprechaun” backstage at a concert over the weekend and uploaded bloodied photos of himself as proof of the altercation.

When news began to circulate about the fight, which is rumored to stem from beef between the performers regarding comments Tory allegedly made about August’s Jada Pinkett-Smith “entanglement,” the Canadian rapper (born Daystar Peterson) took to social media to deny the claims – later doubling down on the assertion via an interview with DJ Akademiks Sunday (September 18).

“I don’t even know what this kid is talking about, brother,” he told DJ before saying, “…I don’t know if he’s doing promo. I don’t know what that n*gga is talking about, brother.”

Not even a day later, video footage surfaced that suggests a story different from that of Lanez’ – a circumstance that’s caught the attention of the LAPD.

As Brandy fans, affectionately called #STARZ, anxiously await tastes of new music set to line her forthcoming album – her first effort under a recently signed deal with Motown Records – she’s giving them a taste of something else to tide them over.

Announcing a brand partnership with award-winning premium wine company Stella Rosa, the GRAMMY winner has aptly been tapped to be the face of their newest product line – Stella Rosa Brandy.

Bearing her namesake, the new drinks are said to be “a collection of hand-crafted premium fruit-flavored brandy” that includes flavors like Honey Peach, Tropical Passion, and Smooth Black.

Ahead of its official launch, B-Rocka not only took to Instagram to celebrate the boss move but also to invite a lucky fan to help her enjoy the moment.

A lesson about the power of manifestation, ‘Love in the Way‘ – the new Nicki Minaj-assisted single from rapper BLEU – dropped Friday (September 16) after years of the Alabama-born emcee indicating the ‘Super Freaky Girl’ star was one of his “dream collaborations.”

Now, with the unveiling of the tune’s official music video, that dream has become reality in the biggest way.

Seeing the two trade verses about the difficulty of moving on after the love is gone, the Primo-directed clip comes as BLEU’s most visually impressive yet.

Watch the futuristic clip inside.

For the last 14 weeks, ‘As It Was’ – the megahit from Harry Styles’ #1 album ‘Harry’s House’ – has taken residence atop the Hot 100.

Penciled in history books for being the longest-running solo male #1 single this decade when it clocked its 12th week at the chart’s summit, last week it logged its 13th print at the top and became the longest-running solo male song of the century.

Now, the Kid Harpoon-helmed hit has its sights set on the all-time record.

Usher may quite fairly lay claim to the King of R&B title, but what is equally hard to deny is that the superstar’s impressive longevity is partially a result of his embrace of other genres.

Notably EDM and Dance-Pop.

Indeed, who can forget global smashes such as ‘DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love Again’ and ‘OMG’ – both of which helped the stage blazer dominate all over again in the early 2010s.

However, for all this renewed success, Ush’s embrace of the dancier sounds ignited deep debate among his loyal R&B fanbase. For, while some took to the fresh approach, others detested it and suggested the singer had “turned his back” on his core genre. A debate that occasionally rears its head ’til this day.

With humor and charm, though, Mr. Raymond playfully acknowledged this on stage at his My Way Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live.
