Following her controversial cover of The Throne‘s N”gga’s In Paris‘ today, Katy Perry‘s mouth has landed her in more hot water.

For, in what can only force us to wonder just who she and Rihanna ‘chit chat’ about behind closed doors, the ‘Teenage Dreamer‘ has weighed in on Beyonce’s 2007 duet with Shakira, ‘Beautiful Liar‘.

Her remarks below…

He may go by The Dream, yet many of his soundbites are often a nightmare for his publicist.

And while the hitmaker’s latest comments are sure to sit in that basket, we can’t but feel it opens the floor for an interesting debate.

It’s been almost three years since the Pussycat Dolls scattered into Pop oblivion. And yet remarkably none of the members have disclosed the exact reason for their abrupt disbanding.

That is until now.

Hot on the promo trail for her new mixtape, ‘P.O.Y.B.L (P*ss On Your Black List)”, former Doll Melody Thornton stopped by This Is 50, where she revealed the exact reason for the ‘Don’t Cha’ chanters.

The long-awaited answer awaits after the jump…

‘Hot Boys’ hitmaker Missy Elliott is looking to bring the heat on her long awaited comeback album due in June.  Reuniting with longtime collaborator Timbaland, the eccentric femcee is looking to get the party started with the new, aptly titled ‘Block Party’ LP.

As Tim’s project is also due in June, the superproducer took time from his SXSW set to show off some of the two’s new new for fans anxious for samples from the summer sets.  Needless to say, if what he imparted is anything to judge by, the lessers need to begin worrying now…

Say what you will, but it takes some kinda fierce fashionista to make a bowling alley look like a runway.  Such feat is one ‘I Decided’ diva Solange Knowles can be seen doing with ease in the latest edition of London’s ‘Evening Standard’.

Donning designer duds, the youngest of the Knowles clan was certainly on the ball as she imparted a candid interview for the mag outlining her current label situation, her thoughts on the media circus surrounding niece Blue Ivy‘s arrival, and what fans can expect for her next album.

Slowly but surely bringing the broth to a boil on the promo of the ‘Solangel and the Hadley St. Dreams’ followup, see more shots from set and find out what else Miss Solo shared below:

Monica and Brandy have been making their rounds to various radio stations and music networks promoting their latest duet ‘It All Belongs To Me’ this past week.

It’s a far cry from the teenage drama filled romp that was 1998’s record-breaking chart topper ‘The Boy Is Mine’. When ‘Boy’ was released, rumors swirled that the two R&B newcomers did not care for each other, let stand to be alone in the same room together–these reports were later fueled by their refusal to perform the song or even promote together.

Their feud allegedly reached a fever pitch during the MTV Video Music Awards when a verbal argument backstage turned dangerously physical.

Listen to Brandy and Monica open up to Hot 97‘s Angie Martinez about the night in question after the jump and sound-off below.

Lady GaGa‘s  Monsters aren’t going to be too happy.

For, in what may see them ‘separated’ from the Pop sensation for some time, she has announced a ‘media blackout’, taking a complete hiatus from interviews and other promotional efforts.

Switch that messy Kardashian nonsense off! The Braxton sisters are back and in a big way.

You can now check out episode 18 of the latest season below…

Rihanna and Chris Brown recent duets have spoken volumes about the status of their “relationship”. However, neither of the pair have verbally addressed why they decided to team up again – especially given the controversy which greets the the mention of their names collectively.

That silence ended this morning when Barbados’ Next Top Model called into Ryan Seacrest‘s KISS FM radio show.

Check out the interview after the jump…

R&B songbirds Brandy and Monica stopped by Power 105‘s Breakfast Club to plug their latest hit ‘It All Belong To Me’.

And as anyone who knows how Charlemagne and co get down, the interview was never going to be standard-fare.

A must-watch in many a way, the candid chat saw the ladies really speak in-depth on some of the online abuse they’ve received; with Brandy lamenting on being branded a “murderer” on Twitter, while Monica relayed the strife caused by a life-threatening stalker.

Of course, the seriousness of the matters we’re levelled out by the ample dose of ‘crazy’ the hosts serve up. A combo which made for a hilarious, yet insightful watch.

Video awaits after the jump…

Fom  discovering she was to join Coldplay on their latest tour,  rocking  London’s  ‘Jazz Cafe‘, to kicking off the promo for her UK single ‘RIP‘, it’s been an intense week for Rita Ora.

Now, peep her dishing on ‘RIP‘s video with KOG TV, detailing its conception, Drake‘s influence and her past loves, below…
