Just days remain until Pop force Fergie unleashes her long-awaited single ‘L.A Love (La La)’ on the masses.

Songs like ‘Love,’ ‘Half Crazy,’ and ‘Don’t Change’ may have brought Grammy-nominated R&B crooner Musiq Soulchild to fame, but fans looking for more tunes like the aforementioned from the Philly native may have to wait awhile.

For, after first testing the Urban waters with his crunk-infused number ‘Radio’ (the lead single from his 2008 album ‘OnMyRadio’), it appears Soulchild is taking things a step further with a newly unveiled rap alter ego named The Husel.

In a bid to increase his presence on charts and radio alike, the singer/songwriter argues that his former moniker rendered him less marketable.

“For whatever reason, R&B is struggling.  I’m the type of person who likes to entertain people based on what they’re saying entertains them, and right now this sound is what’s entertaining them.

As an artist, songwriter and producer I sit back and listen and say, ‘Okay, if that’s what y’all like, I can do that.’”

Will it work?  Preview some new tracks below and tell us:

There is no stopping the promo train that is Nicki Minaj.

When not banging out speakers as co-star of Jessie J‘s latest hit ‘Bang Bang,’ she’s taking a bite out of the Hot 100 with her new hit ‘Anaconda.’ As if that’s not enough, now it seems the Harajuku Barbie is looking to accompany R&B sensation August Alsina on his latest stroll up the charts with the fan favorite ‘No Love.’

Directed by Benny Boom, fans looking to catch the visual on television can tune into ‘106 & Park’ where Alsina will premiere it live. Get into the preview below:

Next Wednesday sees Halle Berry‘s much buzzed about new show ‘Extant’ land on TV screens.

Produced by the iconic Steven Spielberg, the CBS series brings an air of cinematic to the small screen with its ambitious plot.

The show, which Berry promotes a-front of the the newest issue of Entertainment Weekly, follows the narrative of astronaut Molly Woods.

Infertile before heading out on a space mission, she returns from the yearlong solo expedition – mysteriously pregnant.

Speaking on her decision to take on the role, 48-year-old told the magazine:

“I was being offered parts that I felt like I had done before. They weren’t exciting enough for me to leave my family for four months. I realized some of the best writing especially for women, was on television.

The minute I started to read (the ‘Extant’ script), I couldn’t put it down. I thought, ”Wow. This is different.” It’s innovative. Molly is a strong female character, which I really love to play. Molly is a complicated woman with a complicated family.

So as to whet appetites ahead of next week’s big launch, CBS have unzipped another sneak peek. Check it out below…
