Jennifer Lopez may not be knocking anyone off the charts right now. However, she finds herself jumping into the ring during a new photoshoot with the spring sports issue of ‘V’ magazine.

The singer dons a boxer’s jockstrap, which marks a contrasting change to the cleavage-baring, glam ensembles she wore during Oscars night. Shot by Mario Testino and styled by Carine Roitfeld, Jen gets real sweaty. I don’t like it, and I think her boobs are way too itty bitty to pull off such a look in the last set.

The promotional crunch for Estelle‘s new album ‘All Of Me’ (released this week) shows no sign of slowing down. The Brit-soul chanteuse visited, not just ‘The Wendy Williams Show’, but ‘The Late Show With David Letterman‘ last night as well.

On both occassions, she delivered yet another live rendition of the album’s latest single ‘Thank You’. Husky, soulful and very rousing are words in which can be used to define these latest batch of performances.

Take a listen to Rita Ora‘s official new UK single ‘R.I.P’. The Tinie Tempah-assisted cut, was written by Young Money superstar Drake and co-produced by Stargate and Chase & Status.

The Roc Nation newcomer debuted the track earlier this morning on Twin B’s 1Xtra show. The Nneka-sampling ‘R.I.P’ has a gritty swag to it, thanks to its dubstep overtones, menacing strings, fuzzy synths, and punchy bass. Rita makes light of giving all of herself to the one she’s in pursuit of, and claiming not to be the girl she use to be.

Ameriie goes totally glam and fab in a brand new photoshoot for beauty editorial ‘Sheen’.

This is what you call gorgeousness to another level. Ameriie was looking elegant and graceful in her spread. It’s been a while since we had a new photoshoot from the stunning 32-year-old so the spread definetely serves as a nice welcome. All that luscious long hair got the chop when she debuted her bowl-style pixie cut at a Grammy party a few weeks ago.

Another day. Another Melanie Fiona leak. ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’ is lifted from the deluxe edition of her upcoming album ‘The MF Life’ (due March 20th).

Over a soulful, drum-laced beat, Melanie showcases her vulnerable side while struggling to figure out a potential love interest. She tells him: “Make your decision; Will it be rock, paper, scissors? I don’t know what you’re feeling”. It’s a hot song but my concerns grow for the talented Melanie.

Nina Sky have premiered a new music video for the mid-tempo ‘Day Dreaming’, the first single from their sophomore album ‘Nicole & Natalie’ (due in July).

It’s been quite a while for these chicks. But they’re back with their latest brand of urban-pop. The Adam Sauermilch-directed visual delivered a great artistic approach in the way that it pinpoints the twin sisters being in the same relationship but encountering two different outcomes.

Mariah Carey was snapped in the studio this week laying down tracks for a brand new album to be released later this year.

I love how playful and posey Mimi always looks when getting her photo taken. I’m just shocked she allowed her picture to be taken without a scrap of make-up on her face. We all know about her insecurities and the hilarious ways in which she will go through to have them masked. Anyway, she’s been getting into shape for her impending chart assault, and it shows.

JoJo finds her inner sexy on new song ‘Sexy to Me’. The track was released to iTunes earlier today, as some sort of promo for her upcoming new album ‘Jumping Trains’. I’m told there won’t be a video for the song, which sucks because the song is all sorts of fire in my book!

The gritty uptempo is pretty contagious and very reminiscent to Britney‘s old stuff during the ‘Blackout’ era. Danja, who produced it, definitely revisited some of his best work.

Last night, Melanie Fiona performed new single ’4am’ from her forthcoming album ‘The MF Life’ (due March 20th) on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The cut now stands at #11 on the Billboard Hip-Hop and R&B chart.

I loved the performance. Vocally, she sounded great. She looked great. And everything about her is, well, you guessed it – great! She stays exposing other chicks while singing the earth, wind and fire out of a song.

Following her “mutual” release from ‘Bad Boy Entertainment’, a brand new song from Dawn Richard‘s upcoming EP ‘Armor On’ (due March 27th) has now leaked. The track is called ‘Fly’ and it is produced by Deonté Music.

Dawn addresses the haters on this latest offering. It sees the 28-year-old using some of that Island diction to throw out some serious attitude. The bass heavy beat is so infectious and hard-hitting that it’s totally representative of a club banger. I get a lot of Keri Hilson vibes from it as well.
