Airplane food isn’t exactly cuisine reserved for the discerning palette, but it gets the job done. However, you might want to think twice before noshing on plane food and not because of nutritional concerns.

Duty calls for Azealia Banks. The up and coming rapper had to turn down the opportunity to tour with Nicki Minaj on the European leg of the latter’s Pink Friday arena tour. WTF? Is she cray cray? Nah, turns out she is still working on her debut platter, ‘Broke With Expensive Taste.’ While it has to sting to pass up to the chance to tour with Minaj, Banks needs to get the record done.

Nicki Minaj visits her native land of Trinidad and Tobago and soaks up the sun in her new video for ‘Pound the Alarm.’ But the femcee also dresses like a Carnival dancer, hitting the streets with a troupe of similarly attired ladies, complete with feathery ensembles and massive headdresses.

No wonder Lady Gaga started her own social networking site with LittleMonsters.com. If she wants to rule to a digital roost other than Twitter, she’s going to have to do so in her own space, since Facebook is clearly Eminem‘s domain. Even though the rapper has been quiet for much of 2012, he is the first person to nab 60 million likes on Facebook. Time for a status update, Marshall Mathers! Read M

A black couple planned to wed at a predominantly white church that they attended (but were not members of) in Crystal Springs, MS. A day prior to the nuptials, however, they learned that they were not going to be allowed to exchange vows at the First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs, due to a small minority of white opponents to a black couple marrying at their church.

Uber “It” rapper Azealia Banks is the face of designer Alexander Wang’s diffusion line, dubbed “T.” What a pairing, since Banks is one of the hottest, up and coming names in pop music and Wang is a favorite designer among young and stylish celebs.

Got a few minutes? Because that’s how much it’s going to take to sort out the Jackson Family Feud. Grab some popcorn and a ringside seat. Katherine Jackson has returned home to her grandkids after a traumatic week that saw missing persons reports filed, conflicting information of her whereabouts, angry grandchildren in search of their beloved caretaker, a temporary custody switch of Michael Jackso

Not one. Not two. But three. That’s how many consecutive life sentences William Balfour, the man who was convicted of murdering three members of Jennifer Hudson‘s family in Chicago back in 2008, will serve.

Maybe there is something to those pesky, percolating and pervasive rumors of the secret relationship between Rihanna and Chris Brown, thanks to some strong and convincing photographic evidence indicating that that they are rendezvousing in St. Tropez. The rumors won’t quit and they’re likely to shift into overdrive now.

Mariah Carey has officially joined ‘American Idol‘ as a judge for Season 12, which kicks off in 2013. Congrats not only to Carey but to Fox on this major, major coup. While it seemed that producers had a challenge on their hands in trying to find a suitable A-list replacement for the departing Jennifer Lopez, they outdiva-ed the diva with this addition.

James Holmes, the suspect in the Aurora, Colo. shooting during the midnight screening of ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ which left 12 dead and 58 other injured, appeared in court Monday. So, what happened?

Few pop stars party as hard as Rihanna. But like her fellow pop divas, RiRi is prone to sharing lots and lots of images of her exploits and offstage antics with her fans. The ‘Where Have You Been’ singer has been on vacation in St. Tropez and she shared plenty of photos of the good times on a yacht with her beloved Rihanna Navy.

Frank Ocean is the pop music “It” boy right now. With ‘Channel Orange’ landing this week and a recent, brave confession about his sexuality, Ocean is making headlines for both his music and his personal life. There was no time like the present for him to pose for famed photog Terry Richardson, who has shot the likes of Lady Gaga and Rihanna. A shoot with Richardson is another piece of evidence tha

Michael Jackson‘s family is making the blockbuster claim that the late King of Pop’s will was faked by John Branca and John McClain, the executors of his estate. The family is asking the men to resign from their posts immediately.

Despite three failed marriages and a high profile engagement to Ben Affleck where their Bennifer hype nearly killed her career and his, Jennifer Lopez still believes in fairytales, even if her relationship with new beau Casper Smart didn’t begin in “love at first sight” fashion.

Who run the world? Girls! Beyonce wasn’t kidding when she sang those words on her debut single from last year’s ’4.’ The singer and Blue Ivy‘s mom wrote another letter to First Lady Michelle Obama to thank her for all she does for our country and to show her support for President Barack Obama as he embarks on his bid for re-election.

Rihanna is known for her wild, party-filled lifestyle, and now her ex, Chris Brown, is reportedly worried that the ‘We Found Love’ singer may be drinking too much. RiRi’s beloved grandmother passed away two weeks ago and a source close to Breezy claims he is concerned she may be trying to numb the pain.

Wanna take a quick trip with Nicki Minaj? Well you can. The Queen of the Barbz hit her homeland of Trinidad to shoot the video for ‘Pound the Alarm’ and of course, the ‘Starships’ singer took us behind the scenes of the shoot. She proclaims, “We’re in my homeland, where I was born,” in her thick, “New Yawk” accent, mind you!

Oops! Butter smooth, blue-eyed soul crooner and ‘Duets‘ star Robin Thicke smashed his swanky black convertible Porsche into a parked car on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood last night (July 10.) Jeez, does Thicke need some driving lessons? Was he under the influence, as if often the case in these types of incidents? As it turns out,  the answer is “no.” It wasn’t Thicke’s fault.

There’s some more legal drama for Chris Brown, which is pretty common for the singer these days. During a routine probation progress report over the singer’s battery conviction for assaulting former girlfriend Rihanna (or secret and current GF, if you believe the gossip), the judge decided that Breezy needs to report in person next month to go over some of the details of his community service. Rea

Former ‘X Factor‘ contestant Marcus Canty has dropped his new single ‘In & Out,’ featuring an assist from ‘Lotus Flower Bomb’rapper Wale.

Rihanna may be mourning her grandmother, but it was as though she channeled her grief into a spellbinding performance at the Barclaycard Wireless Festival in the U.K., delivering a medley of hits and closing Sunday night’s show on July 8. The weather was not cooperating, at all, as rain fell from the skies, but most attendees stayed to enjoy RiRi while sopping wet.

Usher‘s stepson Kile Glover was critically injured in a jet ski accident yesterday (July 7), but doctors have now declared the boy, 11, to be brain dead. What a tragedy.

Rihanna is the cover girl for an upcoming issue of the high end fashion bible Harper’s Bazaar. The cover image and photo spread leaked, and there appears to be two separate covers, which these women’s mags often do. One cover is reserved for subscribers, while the other lands on the newsstand.

To celebrate the release of ‘Fortune,’ which dropped yesterday (July 3), the always controversial Chris Brown was the subject of his own BET mini-doc, dubbed ‘Defining Moments.’ Since BET has been a major part of his growth as an artist from a teen to a young man, he takes viewers through a guided tour of his history with the network, especially with the ’106 and Park’ show.
