With Beyonce having given birth, it’s back to work for the bodacious star. And first on the agenda is her aptly titled new movie ‘A Star Is Born’.

Initially set for shooting last year, production on the Clint Eastwood directed clip was delayed to accomodate the singer’s pregnancy. However, all systems are now go and filming is set to commence this Summer.

During a recent interview, 81 year old Eastwood lifted on Beyonce’s musical contributions to the movie, which tells the tale  of promising starlet and the fall of the fading talent who discovers and helps her reach her goal.

Looks like The Herberts are hoping to introduce fans to a new side of their love.  We may already know the two from their appearances on the WE Tv hit series ‘Braxton Family Values’, but, as reported here, the lovebirds are flying the coop and migrating to their own reality show – aptly titled ‘Tamar & Vince’.  To dish on their latest happenings, the two took to JET magazine to share stories about their 9 year relationship, Vince’s recent health scare, and, of course, Tamar talks about…well…Tamar.

Though not spilling much on the youngest Braxton’s forthcoming album, they did reveal that she is indeed signed to Interscope and also maybe looking to hear the pitter patter of little Herberts making way around their new $6.9 million home.

Until the late 2012 debut of their new reality show, you can find the two – and all the rest of the Braxtons – on WE Tv, Thursdays at 9p.

Oh Britney, Britney. We were never supposed to know…

And yet how could we not after peeping these digitally enhanced shots of the singer in V Magazine? Spears is almost unrecognisable in the snaps, which were published to celebrate some of last year’s biggest tours and the folk who put them together.

However, it’s safe to say the shots are as legit as her “live” vocals.

The slimmer frame, head from another body, all ridiculous. One really has to wonder when this farce will end.

As has plagued most of ‘Baby Boy’ singer Beyonce‘s pregnancy, rumors have swirled around the birth of  her newborn daughter Blue Ivy.  And while attempts to mitigate such by the well wishes of hospital staff members and fellow celebrities have come multi-fold, some fans are still not as easily convinced and have bombarded social media outlets with theories and even ridicule.  But, despite remaining mum throughout most of the ordeal, Beyonce’s sister, ‘I Decided’ singer Solange Knowles, decided to break her silence (much like family friend Michelle Williams) today.

Taking to the very same front that has seen its last days filled with naysayers, Solange unleashed her thoughts via Twitter saying…

Love her or loathe her, Amber Rose is one woman the world just can’t seem to get enough of.

Rising to fame as the lover of Hip Hop Royal Kanye West, recent years have seen the one time dancer become more renowned for her work as a model, more recently in association with Smirnoff in support of their latest line of whipped cream flavored Vodka.

Now, in a bid to both boost her public profile and follow in the footsteps of fellow socialite Kim Kardashian, she has tried her hand at music, with ‘Fame‘.

Earlier today, footage of R&B upstart Teairra Mari recording her upcoming album surfaced online, setting the promotional campaign for the project in full motion.

Set to hit stores in coming months, the project’s success- if we’re really going to be honest- could reward  Mari with the stardom and notoriety some say she was robbed of back in 2005.
Or see her follow in the steps of many an R&B belle before her and face a perpetual struggle to convince the world that she is worth paying attention to.

So, as open supporters of Teairra and her cause, we here at TGJ HQ are curios:

Do you intend on buying her album when it comes out and if not- why not?
