This week in trending topics: Tamar Braxton releases a new album, there might be trouble in paradise on the set of “Empire”, and a Tidal concert with an all-star lineup is on the way.
Tamar Braxton is calling for all lovers
Singer Tamar Braxton released her fourth studio album, “Calling All Lovers”, on Oct. 2. The 14 track album is filled with mid-tempo’s and ballad’s. 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.
Before the release of the album, Braxton released three singles: “If I Don’t Have You,” “Catfish,” and “Angels and Demons”. While singles “Catfish” and “Angels and Demons” were not so successful on the charts, “Let Me Know” proved to be a fan favorite, peaking at number 19 on Billboard Hot 100.
The “Love and War” singer is one busy woman these days. On top of releasing a new album, she is also a contestant on “Dancing with the Stars” as well as a co-host on talk show “The Read”. She is also set to go on tour with Mary J. Blige later this month.
Is there trouble in paradise with Luscious and Cookie?
It seems as if there is a real life feud on the set of “Empire”. Allegedly, Terrance Howard and Taraji P. Henson are not getting along. According to In Touch Weekly, Taraji has become irritated by her co-stars “bigheaded attitude”.
Sources at In Touch Weekly revealed that the two can’t be around each other for more than 30 seconds without bickering.
“In the beginning, Taraji was thea key supporter and apologist for his behavior. But as his arrogance increased, she began to get annoyed,” said the source.
The feud between Henson and Howard may not be a bad thing. It is being alleged that the “Empire” producers feel that the tension between the two stars may work to the shows advantage, prompting amazing and volatile scenes, according to TheYBF.
Henson’s representative shot down reports of a feud, while Howard’s team remains silent.
Only time will tell.
