November 3rd brings with it the season 12 premiere of the ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta,’ but it looks like the sparks are flying already.

Cameramen recently caught up with a returning Kenya Moore during a promotional event for her haircare line and she didn’t hold back when quizzed on her foe Nene Leakes. 

During her candid chat, the newly single reality staple branded her co-star a “bully” with “very few friends.”

Fantasia is hot on the promo trail to ensure her October 11th-due new album, ‘Sketchbook,’ sees her name penciled atop R&B charts upon its release.

Most recently taking to New York to visit The Breakfast Club to dish on it being her first effort as an independent artist and so much more (click here if you missed it), Fannie preceded the appearance with a slew of interviews to discuss the LP and what fans can expect from it.  Already letting them down with news Jazmine Sullivan and Brandy will not appear (as we previously reported), the 35-year-old is opting to focus on the upside by sharing the positive aspects of this era of her musical journey.

She also spoke about her career at large which includes a desire to return to acting.  Once touted as a name on the shortlist of actresses set to portray Aretha Franklin in her biopic (alongside Halle Berry and others), Fannie was later selected to bring the life story of Mahalia Jackson to screens before that opportunity fell apart as well.

Now, the ‘Free Yourself’ singer is looking to free her schedule for a call that may see her flexing her acting chops in Patti Labelle‘s biopic or even a revisit to the Broadway stage.  Hear her dish on this and much more inside:

With B2K back on the scene, so too are the dramas that have long followed the group.

And while other members have spoken up and out, whether it be to the press or on reality TV, the group’s lead Omarion has been pretty much mute. Notably showing up, turning up, then tuning out.

Now, O is sharing his take on the ‘Millennium Tour,‘ the possibility of new music from the group, and much more.

During the visit to ‘Sway In The Morning,’ the 34-year-old also spoke on issues with his former label, his upcoming solo music, and starting his own label – Omarion World Wide.

All roads lead to the August 23rd release of ‘Lover’ for Taylor Swift.

The Pop titan’s sixth studio album is billed as one of the year’s most anticipated and serves as her first project to be released as part of her new multi-year, multi-project deal with Universal Music.

Ahead of its arrival, she makes a notable stop on the cover of Vogue Magazine‘s September 2019 issue.

Beyond a striking shoot (lensed by Inez and Vinoodh), Swift sat down for a tell-all interview, which saw her wax honest about the fallout over Scooter Braun buying her catalogue, her position on LGBTQ rights, cancel culture, and of course her LP.

The fallout between Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun is raging on.

As widely reported, chaos ensued when news hit that the mega-manager had purchased the singer’s former label Big Machine – in the process snapping up the masters of her entire catalogue.

Swift reacted with a scathing indictment of Braun and Big Machine – both of whom have denied her take on the episode.

Big Machine’s Scott Borchetta took it a step further and stressed that the star was given the chance to bid on her music.

Her lawyer says otherwise. His words below…

‘Look What You Made Me Do’ may be exactly what Scott Borchetta, the founder of Big Machine Label Group, was thinking when he dug up receipts to refute Taylor Swift‘s claim that she was blindsided by Scooter Braun‘s acquisition of her masters (valued at a whopping $300 million).

After the Grammy winner took to Tumblr to slam Braun for purchasing her catalog – an acquisition her reps claim she didn’t find out about until it went to press – Braun’s wife and fellow celebs weighed in on the PR disaster (click here to read).

Borchetta, among the attacked by Swift’s devoted fans, is trying to clear his good name and has proof he says will show the singer did know about the deal ahead of time.  It should be noted, the 29-year-old – in her lengthy Tumblr post (that can be read by clicking here) – did reveal she was given the opportunity to purchase her masters but only “one album at a time.”  Per his newly unveiled documents, Scott says this isn’t true.
