Whether it’s depleted budgets, miscalculations, or just a general misfiring, bad videos routinely happen to stellar songs.
Join us below as we count down five times this has sadly happened…
Hard to believe it’s been four years since Kesha hit the road in any official capacity in support of an LP, but an announcement today reveals that’s set to change…and soon.
The chart-topping songstress, who recently earned a top 30 hit courtesy of her ‘comeback’ single,’ ‘Praying,’ is answering the prayers of diehard fans who are looking to see her live by unleashing the first set of tour dates in support of the tune’s parent album, ‘Rainbow’ (due in stores August 11).
Aptly titled ‘The Rainbow Tour,’ the trek will kick off September 26th in Birmingham, AL and touch major cities like Detroit, Toronto, Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, and more before wrapping up in Los Angeles on November 1st.
Keen to know if Kesha will be heading your way? See the full list of dates below:
As a Pop purveyor Rihanna is the envy of many of her peers.
Alas, the performer hasn’t had much luck as far as films are concerned. For, after watching ‘Battleship’ sink, the entertainer has learned that her latest movie project ‘Valerian and the City of Thousand Planets’ has done the same.
Billed a box office bomb by ‘Deadline‘, ‘Planets’ was built on a budget of $177 million but, by way of its failure to recoup this, has been written off by critics as a flop after earning only $59.9 million worldwide.
Movie insiders reveal that it will need to generate $350 million to break-even and is unlikely to secure a sequel as its producers seek to cut their losses.
It now has the potential of becoming one of the most expensive flops. The film stars Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen, Rihanna, Kris Wu, John Goodman and Ethan Hawke, and is based on the Valerian And Laureline comic Besson revered as a child.
With this is mind, we ask…
Why do you think the movie tanked?
The masses clearly can’t get enough of the Flosse Posse!
Universal’s ‘Girls Trip’ shows no signs of slowing its slay at the US box office.

With each passing episode it seems TNT’s breakout new series, ‘Claws,’ is leaving more and more of a mark on its legion of growing fans. For that reason and more, the network has renewed the Niecy Nash-led dramedy for a season 2, set to kick off in 2018.
Currently just midway through its inaugural season, the critically acclaimed series – also starring Karrueche Tran, Carrie Preston, and more – follows the lives of manicurists at a Floridian nail salon who have become wrapped up in some serious illegal activity.
And, if the way Twitter is set alight when the show airs is any indication, fans are wrapped up right along with them.
Five episodes in, Claws — from producers Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, creator Eliot Laurence and showrunner Janine Sherman Barrois — has become the highest-rated TNT series launched since the cable network’s programming shift last year under the new regime.
It also is the youngest-skewing TNT drama series. Ranking as cable’s No. 4 new drama with adults 18-49 for 2017-to-date and No. 4 cable drama in social engagement, Claws is reaching a multiplatform audience of 6.3 million viewers per episode across TNT’s linear, digital, mobile and on-demand platforms and averaging 1.1 million adults 18-49 in linear Live + 7.
‘Claws’ airs Sundays at 9 PM, with the season finale set for August 13th.

Nostalgia is proving a popular play in todays TV and film arenas. And Russell Simmons wants in.
The media mogul is reportedly readying a reboot of his ‘Def Poetry Jam’ series for HBO and has his sights set on Chance The Rapper to host.
If a go, the updated show would be titled ‘All Def Poetry.’
The original ‘Def Poetry Jam’ was a spoken word poetry series hosted by Mos Def on HBO; it ran from 2002-2007.
As Deadline notes, it was an off-shoot of Simmons’ classic ‘Def Comedy Jam’ which aired 1992-97 – also on HBO. Recently rebooted (as ‘All Def Comedy’), the initial incarnation of the series launched the mainstream careers of talent such as Martin Lawrence, Chris Tucker, Bernie Mac, and Steve Harvey.
The first run of ‘Def Poetry’ earned a Tony, a Peabody, and an NAACP Image honor. So, any such revival has a firm foundation to build on.

If Bill Cosby breathed a sigh of relief after his sexual assault trial climaxed in a mistrial last month, then it may have been a touch premature.
Because, as widely expected, the prosecution against the fallen icon have secured a confirmed retrial date.
Issued today, an order by Judge Steven O’Neill read:
“A retrial in the above-captioned matter is hereby scheduled for Monday, November 6, 2017 at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom A of the Montgomery County Courthouse, Norristown, Pennsylvania.” [Source]
If Montgomery County D.A’s office press the same charges as in the first case, the 79-year old ‘Cosby Show’ actor will face three felony charges of second-degree aggravated indecent assault. Should he be convicted on all charges, he’d be imprisoned for 10 years.
This particular case pertains to the alleged assault of Andrea Constand in 2004; however over 50 women in total have come forward to accuse Cosby of similar wrongs. Constand’s case is the only one to proceed to trial due to fact the statute of limitations haven’t run out.
Cosby’s reps offered a “no comment at this present time” response to the news of the new date.

Not even a collection of stage-blazing performances from the likes of Bruno Mars, Chris Brown, Future & Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige were enough to help this year’s BET Awards drum up its usual viewership figures.
For nearly the last decade Urban music’s biggest night has managed to rope in no less than a composite of 7 million viewers across the multiple VIACOM networks it’s aired across simultaneously. This year, however, the Leslie Jones-hosted affair sang a different tune.
Viewership and ratings were both down 19 percent from last year. The premiere telecast of the 2017 “BET AWARDS” drew 5.8MM Total Viewers P2+ (EDAC) , as it was simulcast live across 9 Viacom networks including MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, Logo, Spike and Centric.
Despite the drop in ratings, BET still easily snagged the title of ‘Sunday night’s most watched television program.’
Curious to see how the 2017 showing stacks up against former editions? Look below:
BET Awards Ratings
- 2008: 5.8 million
- 2009: 10.6 million
- 2010: 7.4 million
- 2011: 7.7 million
- 2012: 7.4 million
- 2013: 7.8 million
- 2014: 7.9 million
- 2015: 7.5 million
- 2016: 7.2 million
- 2017: 5.8 million

The usually outspoken Mariah Carey was lost for words when she came face to face with a political grilling recently.
In Israel to push and promote her partnership with Premier Dead Sea Cosmetics, the entertainer was quizzed on her ex-lover James Packer’s ties to an investigation into corruption and illegal gift giving centred around his friend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
How she responded?
Watch below…
Who the hell let this interviewer ask Mariah about the politics in Israel concerning her and her ex ? pic.twitter.com/LVwNi8UtwE

Oh, now they want to blame me? Someone wants to blame me for something now? What did I do? I didn’t do anything. Honestly I feel bad about that if that happened to anybody, I don’t want anyone to have any kind of bad issues for themselves and I’m just trying to be, trying to do me, and that’s it. That’s all I can do, is be responsible for my own self.
Enraged, Carey cancelled an event which was scheduled to take place hours after the interview above hit the net.
