It’s the news Simon Cowell had been dreading.

Indeed, despite receiving universally positive reviews for the first episode of its second season,  hit show ‘X Factor USA’ lost  out to rival ‘The Voice‘ in last night’s rating war, spurred by the latter’s  spontaneous decision to air an episode on the former’s launch night.

With an audience of 10.7 million, the series beat out Cowell’s well loved series by a cool 3.2 million viewers last night, despite an intense promo campaign for the show which saw the mogul take to the ‘Ellen’ show with fellow judge/ Pop icon  Britney Spears.

On Mark Burnett‘s ‘Voice’, the ‘SYCO‘ mastermind claimed:

“These guys have really got it in for us. It’s nothing short of dirty tricks. The reason they’ve done this is they don’t want people to see X Factor because they’ve heard how good the series is.

They don’t want their audience to see Britney Spears. They don’t want their audience to see Demi Lovato”.

 ‘The Way It Is’ songstress Keyshia Cole is still making her way down the promo trail in support of her forthcoming LP ‘Woman To Woman’.

Led by the Lil’ Wayne-assisted ‘Enough of No Love’, the album acts as one of many ventures the singer is readying for the coming months including a return to the BET reality circuit with ‘Family First’.

But first, Cole looks to share news on her new album and speak candidly on the failure of its predecessor.  Also sharing her thoughts on Mary J. Blige, Brandy, K. Michelle, Chris Brown, and more, find out how Keyshia feels about R&B’s current status below:

As evidenced by her latest single, Alicia Keys is indeed “on fire”.  After a fiery unveiling of her new single with ‘Right Thru Me’ maestra Nicki Minaj at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards last week, the song has already flown to iTunes top 10!

Following this feat, Keys jetted across the pond for engagements that will see her across the U.K. and Australia.  The first of said engagements saw the pianist lend a lesson to a host of aspiring singers on the Australian branded version of hit reality talent show ‘X Factor’.

A day before you will get your first full peek at Britney Spears on ‘X Factor USA’, see Keys dish out advice on its Australian counterpart from today!

Fans apparently could not wait to get their sights back on NBC’s top rated reality talent show ‘The Voice’ if ratings reports are anything to go by.

Despite a small dip from its season 2 premiere ratings, the hit show still managed to top other shows in its time slot an rake in an impressive 12 million viewers!

But, with news the show plans on extending its reign into 2013 for its first Spring-showing, a certain ‘What a Girl Wants’ singer has expressed to Billboard that she wants out:

For many, Beyonce‘s journey thus far has been a moving story to watch.

From her days as Destiny’s Child ring leader, her unforgettable ascent to global stardom and now the joys of motherhood.

Now, nine months after the latter began, she has taken to Anderson Cooper’s hit series ‘Anderson Live‘ to dish on her ever changing life.

Revealing, that she has fallen in love with being a mother.

Nothing, absolutely nothing can take away from Mariah Carey‘s impact on Pop culture, standing as one of the greatest vocalists of all time.

However, much like Britney‘s will to dance and Lil Kim‘s chances of landing #1 single in this reality, Ol Mimi’s voice as we once knew is no more… for one reason or the other.

So, after proving that fact with a so so performance last week’s NFL kick off in NYC, the diva took to Cafe Carlyle  to redeem herself by way of classic Jazz standards.

Standards, which saw Mariah deliver a tolerable performance for the first time in a long time.

Ever keen for attention, Rihanna sent the net aflutter this morning with a shot of her latest tattoo.

Fresh from performing at the Paralympics in London last night, the 24 year old unveiled her latest ink job on her always-active Instagram account.

Goddess Isis, as she christened her, sits in quite the interesting position and is a tribute to her recently departed Grandmother, “GranGran Dolly”…..

It goes without saying that the model’s body is hers, so on and so forth. We just wish she’d put a fraction of the time she puts into  fishing for photo opps into her actual craft.

I mean punchlines aside, she has actually made strides as a performer. Yet seven years in, those strides could easily have been made within seven months. Put simply, the hunger to better her artistic self seems low on her “to do list”. And until it rises, she’ll have to keep churning out an album a year and singles a plenty to stay “relevant”. Why? The mediocrity of her everything has birthed no (real) lasting “moments” musically. Everything is so geared towards “today” vs what could be her legacy “tomorrow”. Had the Madonna‘s and Janet‘s adopted the same mentality, they’d have burned out before being able to p-e-r-f-o-r-m into their 40’s and 50’s.

Anyway, enough of my rambling…

If we’re keeping it all the way real, Ne-Yo has never been a stranger to scoring #1 singles.

However, despite sitting atop many a global chart over the years, we’re pretty sure he won’t be taking his latest feat lightly. For today, he has scored his fifth UK #1 single with the smash hit single ‘Let Me Love You‘.

Good news below…

Looks like those who can’t get enough of ‘Crazy’ crooner Cee Lo Green will have to make more room in their schedule for the eclectic singer.

For reports have surfaced indicating that the plus sized star, already readying a new album and occupying a seat on NBC‘s hit reality talent series ‘The Voice’, is now teaming with the broadcast network for a new ‘family sitcom’.

The yet titled project is said to be loosely based on his own life and the trials of balancing his hot career and home life.  But, before fans start setting their DVRs for the comedy (with no tentative release date), they can catch Mr. Green on the big screen in the 3-D animation ”Hotel Transylvania” (due in theaters September 28th).

Brand Vivica A. Fox just broadens with every year it seems.  Already conquering comedy and drama on the big screen as well as launching her own hair extension line, Miss Fox is now ready for a reality T.V. takeover!

Reports have surfaced the ‘Two Can Play That Game’ actress has plans to play with a few unsuspecting victims on her new Lifetime series called ‘Prank My Mom’.  Fashioned after MTV‘s hit Ashton Kutcher-led series ‘Punk’d’, Fox will host the hidden camera show created to help kids play practical jokes on their mothers.

With previews set for Thursday, Sept. 27 and Thursday, October 4th (after ‘Project Runway’), the series’ official premiere is set for Tuesday, October 9th!
