\"\"<\/a>This week in trending topics: Tamar Braxton releases a new album, there might be trouble in paradise on the set of \u201cEmpire\u201d, and a Tidal concert with an all-star lineup is on the way.<\/p>\n

Tamar Braxton is calling for all lovers
\n<\/strong>Singer Tamar Braxton released her fourth studio album, \u201cCalling All Lovers\u201d, on Oct. 2. The 14 track album is filled with mid-tempo\u2019s and ballad\u2019s. As you listen to the album, she takes you on a journey through the stages of love as she passionately croons about the highs, the lows, and the in-betweens of being in a relationship.<\/p>\n

Before the release of the album, Braxton released three singles: \u201cIf I Don\u2019t Have You,\u201d \u201cCatfish,\u201d and \u201cAngels and Demons\u201d. While singles \u201cCatfish\u201d and \u201cAngels and Demons\u201d were not so successful on the charts, \u201cLet Me Know\u201d proved to be a fan favorite, peaking at number 19 on Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n

The \u201cLove and War\u201d singer is one busy woman these days. On top of releasing a new album, she is also a contestant on \u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d as well as a co-host on talk show \u201cThe Read\u201d. She is also set to go on tour with Mary J. Blige later this month.<\/p>\n

Is there trouble in paradise with Luscious and Cookie?
\n<\/strong>It seems as if there is a real life feud on the set of \u201cEmpire\u201d. Allegedly, Terrance Howard and Taraji P. Henson are not getting along. According to In Touch Weekly, Taraji has become irritated by her co-stars \u201cbigheaded attitude\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sources at In Touch Weekly revealed that the two can\u2019t be around each other for more than 30 seconds without bickering.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the beginning, Taraji was thea key supporter and apologist for his behavior.\u00a0 But as his arrogance increased, she began to get annoyed,\u201d said the source.<\/p>\n

The feud between Henson and Howard may not be a bad thing. It is being alleged that the \u201cEmpire\u201d producers feel that the tension between the two stars may work to the shows advantage, prompting amazing and volatile scenes, according to TheYBF.<\/p>\n

Henson\u2019s representative shot down reports of a feud, while Howard\u2019s team remains silent.<\/p>\n

Only time will tell.<\/p>\n
