Kyla Pratt reprises her lead role as Penny, while newcomers to the cast include Billy Porter, Keke Palmer, and EJ Johnson.

Set to premiere on February 11 in theaters and Peacock simultaneously, the film sees J.Lo star as a Latin pop force who ends up marrying an unlikely partner after a chaotic turn of events.

The Rom-Com is powered not by acting performances from Lopez and co-stars Owen Wilson and Maluma, but it’s also fuelled by all-new music too.

Jamie Lynn Spears has hit back at her big sister Britney Spears. 

The siblings have been locked in somewhat of a war of words following the performer’s emancipation from the conservatorship that has governed her life for more than 13 years.

Britney has not held back, slamming her family at large for what she says was their role and complicity in her dire predicament.

And sister Jamie hasn’t been exempt from the furor.

Matters escalated even more upon the youngest of the Spears clan hitting the promotional trail in support of her new book, ‘Things I Should Have Said.’

Naturally, her relationship with Britney formed the focus of her sit-down interview appearance on Good Morning America. And, as reported, the ‘Slave 4 U’ singer was not happy – stressing “my family ruined my dreams.” 

Now, Jamie has replied publicly and claimed that her sister’s “vague” and “accusatory” posts have led to her family receiving “death threats.”

Check out her open letter below…

Though hot on the promo trail in support of her hit ABC series, ‘Queens,’ R&B veteran Brandy isn’t being coy about how recording tunes for the musical drama has reignited her engine to return to the studio for her own music.

As her faithful fans, affectionately called #Starz, await official release news on her highly anticipated duet with Mariah Carey (as we reported here), B-Rocka – after promising ‘no eight-year wait’ between her recordings – is ensuring they keep her solo endeavors on their radar as well.

Shortly after taking to press to indicate she will be experimenting with new sounds on the yet-titled project, she visited ‘Kelly & Ryan’ to not only reiterate but also share news that she’s recording new music this year.

Years from its onset, the Azealia Banks and Kanye West saga continues.

From claims she wanted to date him to suggesting he was a closeted gay man who stole her ideas (as we reported here), her outlook on the Rap genius seems to sway wherever the wind blows.  And while he has not publicly responded to her many verbal jabs, West remains the center of Azealia’s attention – as evidenced by a series of posts on the femcee’s social media recently.

As his fans know, Kanye is reportedly hard-at-work on the sequel to his 2021 album, ‘Donda,’ a project that – according to Banks – almost featured her fiery vocals.

Hop inside to read why she’s now saying it won’t.

“They offered 30 years, I beat it on the loophole (Boss)/2 days later, n— pulled up in a 2-tone (Huh),” he raps in the Don Cannon-produced cut. “Got b*tches sleepin’ on the floor like it’s a group home/The only question I can see is where ya movin’?”

Tapping DreamDoll to assist, the new song’s arrival is accompanied by an eccentric, strip club-set music video directed by Roscoe.
