Given Rihanna‘s track-record with re-releases, it was no surprise earlier this year when it was confirmed that the Bajan had returned to the studio to revamp her latest collection of fast-food hits.

Yet, it seems Beyonce’s impending hiatus has this little model excited. For, she sensationally announced today that plans for a ‘Loud’ reboot have been shelved. Instead, the 23 year old is microwaving a new batch of material for a whole new album – which we’re sure will be rushed out before Baby Knowles-Carter hits the scene.

The power-belter thrilled with a performance of ’21’ favourite ‘Turning Tables’ and sat down for a hilarious interview with Ross.

As one whose primary knowledge of the singer was drawn from her music alone, her personality she really shone here. Insanely down to earth.

All the action after the jump…

Things are constantly on the up-and-up for once counted out diva Christina Aguilera.  Aside from working on a follow-up to 2010’s ‘Bionic’ and landing a second season of hit reality talent show ‘The Voice’, the singer can now celebrate landing her first #1 single in ten years.

Billboard reports:

“Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger,” featuring Christina Aguilera, struts to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, rolling 4-1 with Airplay Gainer honors for a third consecutive week. The song marks Maroon 5’s second Hot 100 No. 1. The band previously reigned for three weeks in 2007 with “Makes Me Wonder.” For Aguilera, the return to the chart’s apex ends an even greater hiatus. She had last ruled alongside Lil’ Kim, Mya and P!nk on “Lady Marmalade” for five weeks in 2001. “Jagger” is Aguilera’s fifth Hot 100 No. 1

Here’s hoping things ‘Keep Getting Better’.

Anybody who has found their way to YouTube in recent weeks would have found her impossible to miss.

Now a featured visual on the video sharing site, she has now generated a total of 61, 103 subscribers and a whopping 14 million views for her first video for the now viral hit ‘Gucci Gucci’.

Rising from the artistically rich San Francisco Bay, she has become one of the world’s fastest rising stars.

Armed with a   braggadociously ‘based’ sound and an almost uniform like Retro Hood-Glam swagger, her name and annoyingly  catchy sound have now become subject to polarized opinion.

Some love her, and others love her less but one thing all can agree on is the fact that she now become inescapable to anyone paying close attention to Pop Culture’s ever changing climate.

So exactly what is it about Kreayshawn that has everyone buzzing?

With Cash Money CEO Birdman recently confirming a Lil’ Wayne/Drake joint project after the release of their respective albums ‘Tha Carter IV’ (August 29th) and ‘Take Care’ (October 24) albums, the ‘Successful’ rapper may already have his eyes set on his next joint venture.

Although pal Trey Songz has already expressed a desire to do a joint release with him, the Canadian rapper took time to chat with EW to reveal another Urban heavyweight he wouldn’t mind collaborating with, reveal details about Take Care, and share thoughts on ‘Watch the Throne’:

Glam rapstress Kreayshawn hasn’t been exactly feeling the love since her recent debut.  Even though the ‘Gucci Gucci’ starlet was honored with a ‘Best New Artist’ nomination at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, her favor in the industry appears to have stopped there given the growing number of altercations the rapstress is racking up.  Rick Ross, Da Brat, and The Game are just a few hip-hop stars that probably won’t appear atop her fanclub mailing list.

To voice her frustration, the starlet recently took to Tumblr to reveal:

“All I wanted to do is create and have a good time. But, this is quickly forming into something I never would have signed up for from being accused of being racist to getting my pre-teen nudes leaked everywhere. I feel like this shit ain’t my cup of tea. Someone else want my job right about now? Im just gotta sip lean and disappear. THIS GAME IS FAKE AS ALL HELL! “

Maybe our prayers really have been answered.

‘Calling All Hearts’ diva Keyshia Cole is said to be cooking up a comeback with new music in the works, a movie, and a new reality show – ‘Family First’.  The six episode series will highlight the ‘Heaven Sent’ singer’s recording of her fifth album, the followup to 2010’s ‘Calling All Hearts’.

And though news has yet to surface on which network will carry Cole’s latest reality effort, she did share updates with Billboard.com on its progress and her latest happenings (including her recent management switch).
