Marsha Ambrosius Spills Sophomore Album Details
British soulstress Marsha Ambrosius is readying her faithful Marshians (pet
name for fans) for the follow-up to her critically acclaimed solo debut ‘Late
Nights and Early Mornings’. The Grammy nominated set, led by the buzzworthy
‘Far Away’ single, saw the former Floetry frontwoman gain a whole new set of
fans. A feat only capitalized upon after joining fellow R&B crooner Miguel
on a stateside tour.
Now the songbird is lifting the lid on her second, long-awaited offering. Find out what she’s dishing below:
Via Essence:“It’s cooked. It’s a well prepared meal with gorgeous side dishes and snacks. With Late Nights and Early Mornings I was very precise in how I wanted it to be, but with this one, I don’t feel like I’m taking chances. I feel like I can be me now.”

“The first time around it was me showing and proving that I had a lane and
an avenue to cover. But this album, I definitely had to live it to write
it.”
”The sound and authenticity is still there. As far as a difference, you
will be able to tell I experienced more this time. There is this expectancy
there; I know who I’m talking to. I get to target the people I’ve met along the
way.”
Set for a Thanksgiving release, the singer has yet to reveal who fans should expect to guest the album. Read more here:

John Travolta Gay Lover Writing Tell-All
Ish just got real. The pilot who claims to have had a six year affair with
John Travolta is writing a tell-all book.
The latest bombshell in the John Travoltasex scandal is that the pilot he had a six-year gay affair with is negotiating to reveal all the juicy details in an explosive tell-all book.
Don Gotterba was John's pilot in the 1980s, and according to his former secretary and Don's ex-boyfriend, the two were lovers, the National Enquirer reported last week.
The Enquirer didn't get comment from Don, only confirmation that he worked for John, but now the publication reports Doug already has two writers lined up to help him tell his story!
The Enquirer reports Don confirmed his desire to write the tell-all book.
"It could be a marriage-ender," an insider told the Enquirer, expressing that the book could not only be career-crushing, but devastating to John's wife, Kelly Preston.
"Even though she wasn't married to John at the time, she's already been terribly humiliated by this ugly scandal that doesn't seem to end. A book by a man who John carried on with for multiple years would simply be too much."
Two masseurs stepped forward in May slapping John with lawsuits claiming he was sexually aggressive with them during massages and inappropriately propositioned them.
Since then, more men have stepped forward claiming much of the same, but John's powerhouse attorney Marty Singer vehemently denies all allegations.

The last two years have been all sorts of tumultuous for Grammy winner
Fantasia Barrino.
However, as seems to be the case between each of her releases, the vocal powerhouse is hoping to confine the drama to the past as she gears up to unleash new material.
During a new interview with Go Memphis, the mother of two revealed that she’s putting the finishing touches to her fourth studio album with hitmakers Chuck Harmony and Jerry Wonder. She confirms that the set is currently slated for release at the end of the year, with its lead single due in the Summer.

Speaking on her return to the charts, the singer said:
“Of course, the pressure is always on to give the fans more of Fantasia and to allow them to see my growth. This time around, I have more creative input and am writing a lot. I think everyone will be quite pleased with where I am going this go-’round.

However, the 27 year old was swift to add that music -regardless of when
its due- takes a backseat to motherhood:
“I’ve learned how to balance my time between being a single working mother
and an entertainer. My children mean the world to me, and that’s what helps me
to make my career my No. 2 priority after being a mother first.”
We, quite literally, cannot wait for Ms. Barrino’s return! Regardless of her trials and trouble, she remains one the industry’s most gifted talents. As such, we’re ready for her to shine all over again.

Sick!
Classically Rankin but truthful to Banks, ‘Liquorice’ is one of a
few videos out there with the power to stop a viewer in their tracks.
In short, it’s stunning-serving up enough beauty shots to up Azealia’s aesthetic stock, breathtaking when placed against the varying scenarios.
