When queens collide!  Ye should prepare yourselves for royal entertainment!

Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J. Blige‘s unceremonious snubbing from the 2012 Academy Awards nominations has caused quite an uproar with fans and industry insiders alike.  Never shy on a matter, Mary took to  Twitter Tuesday to voice her own displeasure with the diss.

Despite making rounds for ‘The Living Proof’ – her acclaimed inclusion on ‘The Help’ soundtrack, Mary is still moving on the promo trail for her ‘My Life II’ set.  Spotted on Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’ last night, the New York native was quizzed on a number of topics including her album, the Oscar snub, her thoughts on young R&B (Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Chris Brown, etc), and the dueling divas – Madonna and Elton John.

Fans may recall that Madonna’s ‘Masterpiece’ recently bested both Blige and John for ‘Best Original Song’ at its own 2012 ceremony.  And, with Blige and John sharing mutual support and multiple duets in the past, spectators have long sought the R&B beauty’s thoughts on the longstanding Madge and Elton beef.

In this hilarious interview, you can find out the ‘No More Drama’ diva’s view on the drama after the jump:

Madonna may be a Pop icon, but when it comes to making or starring in movies, she really is a lost cause.

From ‘Four Rooms’  to ‘Swept Away‘, Ms. ‘Material Girl‘ – in many ways- is to film what Edward Scissorhands is to cosmetology.

A nightmarish wreck.

So, in what will be sure to have much of her fan base seething with rage, today saw her creative cause face yet another blow.

Her latest movie ,’WE‘ has bombed.

Undeterred by the backlash that greeted his last lavish showing, 50 Cent is still keen to show that he’s still making it rain – even if his career isn’t.

Taking to his trusty Twitter account, the rapper – real name Curtis Jackson – tweeted the shots of him and his green. Yet, this time, was keen to show that it wasn’t to make folk green with envy.

Of the money (which he says he won betting on Sunday’s 49’ers game), he wrote:

“Just watched a 500,000 dollar foot ball game get on my level, I’m giving this money to my nana she gonna faint LMAO all she do is go to the church”.

Your thoughts?

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve heard anything fro R&B trier Omarion.

The 27 year old’s B2K exit saw him on a seeming fast-track to solo superstardom, however poor album sales led to waning interest, led to dodgy record deals, led to his current predicament. Not to mention the drama which has plagued the entire B2K clan over the last few years.

Hoping to reverse his fortunes, the singer has teamed up with the Nervo Twins (the Australian sisters most notable for co-writing Kelly Rowland‘s ‘When Love Takes Over’). Together they’ve conjured up ‘Army’.

Can it be the comeback his career is so thirsty for? You be the judge after the jump…

Quite unfortunately, reports of ghostwriting within Female Rap seem to be showing no signs of dying down.

Indeed, despite the critical acclaim awarded to the likes of ‘Left Eye’, Nicki Minaj and Missy Elliott for penning their own music, many Femcees  have come under fire for using  ‘ghostwriters‘ to discreetly create their look and  sound for them.

None more so than Rap icon Lil Kim.
