Tamar Braxton is doing the most right now. In addition to appearing on “Dancing with the Stars,” “The Real,” and “Braxton Family Values,” the multi-faceted star is gearing up to release her fourth album Calling All Lovers on Oct. 2. After debuting the single “Catfish” and performing “King” on television earlier this week, Tamar debuts a video for her dancehall jam “Angels & Demons,” the opening track on her album. In the colorful visuals, Tamar takes a trip to paradise. The R&B diva dons a variety of sexy looks as she sails on a boat, struts in a swimsuit by the waterfall, and dances in the streets with the local children. Following the album’s release, Tamar will join Mary J. Blige and KEM on tour this fall.
You can now pre-order Calling All Lovers on iTunes.

After cheering her on at the U.S. Open, Drake showed up during Serena Williams’ fashion show at New York Fashion Week on Tuesday. He took a front row seat as the tennis pro showed off her Signature Collection by HSN.
Models strut down the runway as Drake songs including “Hotline Bling,” “Ojuelegba,” and “My Love” blared from the speakers.
He caught up with Serena backstage and congratulated her with a kiss on her hand. The two were later spotted together at lunch at Bagatelle.
Drake was also seen sharing a laugh in the front row with Anna Wintour. He posted a photo of the Vogue editor-in-chief with the caption, “Me and bae.”
Music biopics are a hot commodity at the moment, it seems. With Straight Outta Compton making a killing at the box office, it’s not surprising that Lifetime has just given the green light to a forthcoming film about a very different ’90s icon—Toni Braxton. The original movie will be titled Un-Break My Heart, based on Braxton’s 2014 memoir of the same name. The singer herself will star and executive produce, and Vondie Curtis Hall (Abducted: The Carline White Story) will direct. Deadline reports that production will begin later this year. Un-Break My Heart chronicles Braxton’s fight against illness, her financial struggles, and the divorce she went through, as well as her son’s autism. In November, Lifetime aired the unauthorized Aaliyah biopic, Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B, followed by the Whitney Houston film Whitney earlier this year.
Following star-studded shows from Givenchy and Ralph Lauren, Alexander Wang celebrated the 10th anniversary of his label with the wildest party of the week, and music royalty turned out in droves. Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, and Mary J. Blige gathered at Pier 64 to check out the designer’s Spring 2016 collection.
Yeezy arrived solo and tried to avoid photographers by keeping his head covered up under a hoodie. Tyga cozied up with Kylie Jenner, and The Weeknd held hands with his model girlfriend Bella Hadid. Karrueche Tran and a gothic Christina Milian also filled out the front row.
“Someone was NOT having it tonight,” joked Nicki, who was seated next to Kanye. She also snapped a photo with The Weeknd and hinted at a potential collaboration: “Stay tuned.”
After the presentation, guests made their way to the strip club-themed after-party, where they enjoyed cocktails, Jell-O shots, and wings. Pole dancers performed and the designer threw Wang bills into the crowd.
The night capped off with surprise performances from Tinashe, A$AP Ferg, Ludacris, and Lil Wayne, who all hit the stage to entertain the fashionable crowd.
You read it right...In addition to starring on the big screen in The Perfect Guy, Sanaa Lathan is launching her music career. The actress teams with DeJ Loaf on her debut single “Emotional,” produced by Detail (“Drunk in Love”) and co-produced by Choppa & Sidney.
The song was inspired by a conversation between Lathan and Detail after screening The Perfect Guy where Detail commented to Lathan how emotional her co-star (Michael Ealy) was in the film.
“Life can be amazing when you step outside your comfort zone sometimes and say yes. Who woulda thought I’d have a single out,” said Lathan. “I’m thinking of this as character I’m playing singing this song. She’s my character Leah’s (in #ThePerfectGuy) ALTER EGO and her name is #BrownSugar.”
For her part, DeJ stays bossed up on her verse and doesn’t let emotion get in the way of building her brand.
It's one of 12 intimate photos that are featured in the glossy's spread of Queen Bey, who is featured poolside in bras and underwear made by designers La Perla, REHAB, and Orlebar Brown.
Any magazine Beyonce graces outsells Kim Kardashian and Rihanna covers combined or so they say? Photographers describe Beyonce as unsurpassed, deceptive and soulless. I believe it.
This month Beyonce covers Flaunt magazine. And as is her right as one of the privileged few, she mumbles nary a word inside the magazine.
The photo shoot took place in Los Angeles and was snapped by Bey’s photographer, Robin Harper.
Flaunt‘s editors convinced Beyonce to share her thoughts with their readers — on paper.

The singer recently celebrated her 34th birthday on Sept. 4th and scenes from her performance at the 2015 Budweiser Made in America concert over the weekend became an instant viral sensation.
Missing Mary Jane? It’s time to start the official countdown to season three, which EW can announce will premiere on Tuesday, Oct. 20 in its new time slot at 9 p.m. ET on BET. Next season will involve a lot of changes for our heroine, who finds herself battling interlopers in both her personal and professional life.
The new time slot isn’t the new thing about the Gabrielle Union-starrer about a cable news anchor juggling career, family and romance. Loretta Devine (Grey’s Anatomy) and singer-actress Jill Scott (The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency) will join the hard-hitting series as guest stars this season, EW has learned exclusively.
Devine — who earned an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress for her work as Adele Webber on Grey’s — will play Cecilia, a bookstore owner whose car was hit by Mary Jane’s vehicle in the OMG-what-just-happened car accident that occurred in the last moments of the season 2 finale. It seems as theirs isn’t an accident that results in MJ simply handing over her insurance info, since Cecilia will extort her for a whopping $25,000. And that won’t be the end of their relationship, as later in the 10-episode series, the two characters will unexpectedly grow close when Cecilia “offers MJ unwanted, but invaluable, pieces of advice and wisdom,” says BET.
Season 3 will pick up immediately after last season’s finale saw a newly promoted MJ discover the truth about Lisa (Latarsha Rose) and her ex David (Stephen Bishop)’s relationship just moments after she broke up with Sheldon (Gary Dourdan). The upcoming season will find an injured Mary Jane “sidelined at work when a beautiful young Latina anchor, Marisol, shines as her replacement, while she is out on medical leave,” says BET. Though Mary Jane manages to save her job (whew!), she later embarks on a “life cleanse” that makes her rethink her career path and personal life.
Art imitates life—Columbia Records has shared two new songs off the forthcoming soundtrack to the second season of “Empire,” which is almost as anticipated as the show itself.
“No Doubt About It” is an uptempo club track, with Jussie Smollett (Jamal Lyon) collaborating with none other than Pitbull. Ne-Yo has a writing credit on the song, as well. The other, “Ain’t About the Money,” features both Smollett and Yazz (Hakeem Lyon). It’s more of a slow-burn R&B track, though it has serious chart potential as well.
The soundtrack is due this fall, while Season 2 of “Empire” premieres Sept. 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FOX.
So let's see how many reality shows in Atlanta...as many as they want to. Another senseless show is making it's way to your television screens. Get ready because they’re coming soon.
The new reality show stars smothers of A- through Z-list celebrities who call Atlanta home.
The show will follow the Golden Ladies or senior citizens, which some might call as they dispense advice and love to their famous (and not-so-famous) offspring. Cameras will follow them as they share their personal lives and run their numerous non-profit charity organizations.
Leading the pack is Tameka “Tiny” Harris‘s mom (Diane Cottle, 2nd from left in top picture, and her bestie, Violeta Morgan (Rapper T.I.’s mom) far left in top picture.
“Mama” Joyce Burruss (Kandi Burruss‘ mom), 4th from right in the pic below, is desperate to flee the hot mess that is RHOA.
They are joined by Brenda Johnson (Syleena Johnson’s Mom); Shirleen Harvell (Rasheeda Frost’s mom); Lorna Wyatt (KeKe Wyatt’s mom); and the mothers of one-hit-wonders, Frances Wellington (J Holiday’s mom); Shauna Marie Campbell (rapper K Camp’s mom); and Morenika Vinnie (rapper Ca$h Out’s mom, wearing blue hairdo).
The producers promise not to sugarcoat the women’s “heartaches, laughter, drama and mentoring to others.”
Stream the title track from Janet Jackson's forthcoming "Unbreakable." Janet Jackson's summer single "No Sleep" feat. J Cole was well-received by the HNHH faithful. Now, a day after she announced the Unbreakable cover art, tracklist, and release date, Janet returns with a second single -- title track "Unbreakable."
Hip hop fans might best know Jackson from her appearance opposite Tupac Shakur in 1993 film "Poetic Justice." This new track definitely has a solid '90s R&B vibe going for it that bodes well for the rest of the album. Unbreakable is out October 2 with appearances from Cole and Missy Elliot. Pre-order the album now on iTunes and you'll get "Unbreakable" right now.
Janet unveiled the Unbreakable single just moments ago via herofficial website, and called the song a “thank you” to her fans.
Quotable Lyrics
Truth is, truth is that I wouldn't here
Without the love I stand on
Anytime I get lost in the world
You'll always be there
To care and share
In the joy and the pain
Our love wont change
If you are a fan of show then here's your cast. The full celebrity cast for season 21 of Dancing With The Stars has been announced.
The names were revealed on Good Morning America on Wednesday. Paula Deen, Kim Zolciak, Tamar Braxton, and train hero Alek Skarlatos will join previously announced stars Gary Busey, Bindi Irwin, Chaka Khan, Andy Grammer, Nick Carter, Internet sensation Hayes Grier, jockey Victor Espinoza, and the show's first married contestants, Alexa and Carlos PenaVega.
• Alek Skarlatos partnered with Lindsay Arnold • Alexa PenaVega partnered with Mark Ballas • Andy Grammer partnered with Allison Holker • Bindi Irwin partnered with Derek Hough • Carlos PenaVega partnered with Witney Carson • Chaka Khan partnered with Keo Motsepe • Gary Busey partnered with Anna Trebunskaya • Hayes Grier partnered with Emma Slater • Kim Zolciak Biermann partnered with Tony Dovolani • Nick Carter partnered with Sharna Burgess • Paula Deen partnered with Louis van Amstel • Tamar Braxton partnered with Valentin Chmerkovskiy • Victor Espinoza partnered with Karina Smirnoff
Glamour Magazine has a good breakdown of the pairings, their social media following, and what their predictions are. I gotta imagine Bindi is going far just because she’s with Derek. Other than that, the one thing I’ll say is they kinda strayed from their usual cast stereotypes. No Olympian, and no pro athlete this season.
