Shortly before it returns to VH1 via ‘Monami Entertainment’, hit Reality-TV series ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ dominated headlines yesterday, when reports of a bloody brawl involving ‘Shotz‘ performer Joseline Hernandez and ‘A Girl Has Needs’ vocalist Karlie Redd emerged here.

Today, footage from the showdown has unearthed, shot by a member of the general public who witnessed the incident, and subsequently handed the ‘TV gold’ to Entertainment outlet, TMZ.

This week has brought with a musical blessing – Toni Braxton and Babyface‘s blazing new album ‘Love, Marriage, & Divorce’.

A strong contender for the top spot on the Billboard 200 next week, the LP has been receiving many a promo spot – the latest being on The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 this morning.

Cop a gander of Lady GaGa!

The Pop titan serves up diva aplenty on the cover of March’s Harper’s Bazaar magazine. And while the singer looks a picture of happiness here, she reveals inside her in-depth interview that the last few months have been anything but joyous. Indeed, Mother Monster goes as far as to say that she was “depressed”.

Her words come amidst clouds of uncertainty that surround her latest album ‘ARTPOP’. Released last November, the project has been plagued by departing managers, so so sales, and the fact it’s delivered just one music video – last Summer’s ‘Applause’.

Sharing somewhat of an explanation, GaGa’s words await after the jump…

Whoa!

In an age where so many R&B belles fail to shoot and release album artwork striking enough to attract passing trade, Ashanti gets it righter than right this time around…doing so for her new LP ‘Braveheart.’

For, perhaps in realising that it takes far more than an album’s material to turn a doubting shopper into a willing customer, the ‘Happy’ vocalist takes the breath right out of our lungs with a brand new cover shot in support of the aforementioned project, still set for an independent release later on this year.

So, with the masterpiece above in mind, we ask…

Has an album’s artwork ever prompted you to pick it up?

If so, why?

Let us know below!

As she makes a polarising entry into the world of music, ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Porsha Stewart seems to have found a staunch supporter in R&B market leader Tamar Braxton today.

Confused? Well, consider yourself one of the few who didn’t tune into the star’s appearance on the ‘Bethenny’ show this morning, where she was joined by her mother and sisters…sans Toni.

It was there, after seeing Towanda quizzed on her alleged relationship with Stewart’s ex-husband Kordell, did Tamar dish out support for the R&B hopeful, who is currently readying the release of her debut single ‘Flatline.’

Shakira is Pop’s most popular artist.

No really…she is. Well, at least she is this week, after gains made on social media and streaming services forced her to the top of Billboard’s Social 50, which ranks the most popular artists on YouTube, Vevo, Facebook, Twitter, SoundCloud, Wikipedia, Myspace and Instagram!

Thanks in great part to Perez Hilton, a late 90s interview clip of the original Destiny’s Child members made its way around the net due to one awesomely gif-worthy moment.

As fans know, the clip shows a young Beyonce, Letoya Luckett, and Latavia Roberson imparting some serious side-eye action to Kelly Rowland after she introduced herself as the group’s ‘second lead vocalist’.

No member of the group has spoken out about the viral clip until now as Luckett, in hot promotion of season 3 of VH1’s hit show ‘Single Ladies’, weighed in on the clip with MTV:
