OK NOW TO THE BITZ THIS WEEK
Madonna divided critics and the internet alike for her tribute to the late, great Prince during the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday.
Madonna, who collaborated with the Purple One and allegedly had a brief relationship with him, paid homage by donning a Gucci lavender brocade and paisley suit and ruffled blouse while carrying a cane, and belting Nothing Compares 2 U onstage at the T-Mobile Arena.
She was then joined by another living icon - Stevie Wonder - for an organ-heavy rendition of Purple Rain.
Yet despite her personal and professional connection with the rocker, who tragically died last month aged 57, social media was quick to round on Madonna.
While the audience appeared to enjoy the duet, waving their purple-glowing bracelets in the air, those watching at home were less kind.
Among the angry was rapper Chuck Inglish, who tweeted: 'Madonna just sung purple rain. And it was horrible. 2016 is off the Percs.'
Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade chimed in, tweeting: 'If that's all Prince got..The rest of us are in trouble.'
Several turned pictures of an unamused-looking prince 'throwing eternal shade' in the direction of Madonna.
Twitter user SaVonni Yestanti asked: 'Really? We couldn't do better for Prince?'
Another user @moisturizeds added: 'Maddona is really ruining everything for me, while @TheNFL_Chica2 added: 'Let me be the first to say... she sounds awful'.
And Santiago Restrepo wrote: Dearly Beloved, we r gathered here today to see a horrific flat version of my music.'
Comedian Margaret Cho was kinder to the twice-divorced mother-of-four, writing: 'Crying. Great tribute. @Madonna and #StevieWonder are beautiful. #Prince.'
Madonna herself responded to the criticism on Monday morning, with an Instagram post saying: 'Anyone who wants to do a tribute to Prince is welcome to. Whatever your age Gender or skin Color. If you loved him and he inspired you then show it!!!! I love Prince 4 ever.'
Here is our thing...OK, Madonna may have not been the wisest choice, but maybe she should have been part of an ensem with other artists during his heyday such as Cyndi Lauper (who remade his song When You Were Mine on her album She's So Unusual), Chaka Khan (who remade his song I Feel for you), and of course Morris Day and The Time, But the one to blame for this is the producers of Billboard Magazine. All MAdonna did was be Madonna and to add Stevie Wonder to add more credibility to it.
And speaking of Madonna on Prince. It was reported that the duet that Prince recorded "Love Song" that was on her 1989 album Like A Prayer was supposed to have an accompanying music video but he refused to do one,
Anna says she was there when Madonna propositioned him to shoot a music video for the track. She claims Madonna tried to play the sympathy card by telling Prince she was in the middle of divorcing Sean Penn and Prince was not having any parts of it.
Madonna and Prince had a heated feud over the one song they ever recorded together, and the showdown involved one of Madonna’s divorces … according to Prince’s ex-gf Anna Fantastic.
Well, after hearing the song, we cant much blame Prince.
Looks like the Tamartians are upset that their leader will no longer be part of The Real.
Tamar Braxton got fired from the Emmy Award nominated talk show this week after it was rumored on various blogsites (including LoveBScott) that reported it before it actually happenned.
Tamar Braxton got fired from the Emmy Award nominated talk show this week after it was rumored on various blogsites (including LoveBScott) that reported it before it actually happenned.
She hinted at the firing when Tamar Braxton, took to Instagram with a picture of her sister singer Toni Braxton hugging her and a caption that began, "I love u all but I have been stabbed in the back by someone I stupidly trusted...."
Her posting came amid reports that she had been fired from the talk show, leading some to speculate all was not well among the co-hosts, which also include Tamera Mowry-Housley, Loni Love, Jeannie Mai and Adrienne Bailon.
The Fox show, which debuted in 2013, has since confirmed that Braxton will not be returning for the third season.
Braxton is said to be leaving to focus on her music career.
But viewers have noticed that in her final days Braxton did not appear to be willingly leaving her talk-show gig.
One viewer wrote, "LOOK at Tamar. She ain't faking it," in a tweet that included a video of the show's opening with a less-than-enthusiastic Braxton taking the stage with her co-hosts.
Some who are unhappy with the decision have trolled the social media of the other co-hosts, including Loni Love. On Tuesday, Love posted a video on her official Facebook page saying she received a group text from Braxton saying she had heard she was being fired.
The comedian denied she had anything to do with Braxton being asked to leave the show or knew anything about it.
"When we wrapped our show for season 2 we had a photo shoot, Tamar was part of that," Love said. "We were planning on going to Essence (Music Festival this summer in New Orleans), she was part of that so there was no indication that Tamar was going to be let go."
Fans have definitely been split into two camps: those who think Braxton was stabbed in the back and those who are happy to see her go.
Speculation of her getting the pink slip was becasue of her diva attitude toward advertisers and the staff and that potential guests didnt want to be on The Real because of Braxton.
The battle between Nene Leakes and Lunelle is continuing. Since last week and Lunelle speaking her mind about Leakes doing a comedy tour at comedy clubs, (mainly saying it wasnt fair that people who havent paid dues can just come and do comedy a show and call themselves a comedian), TMZ got the comments from Lunelle after her attending Nene's show at The J Spot in Los Angeles (where Nene called Lunelle , "Sisqo's auntie) and said that Nene was right when she said that she wasnt a comedian and that she didnt have time to deal with that 'man." When Nene was asked for her comment she was very empathetic and wished Lunelle well and her fingernails.
We see right through all of this. This is publicity for both camps. Both will get some exposure of the controversy and build off it. We can agree with Lunelle that Nene trying to do comedy and she is not a comedian (more of a novelty) should not be equated to comedians who paid dues on the stage and is in it as a career and not a fad......But at the same time, many can argue that there is money to be made with popular personalities and Nene has a right to tell jokes just like anyone else if people come to pay money to see her--as well as Lunelle. And the person who really cashed in was J Spot owner Jay Anthony Brown!
The creator of a buzzed-about Whitney Houston hologram is speaking out in the wake of a major setback.
The Whitney Houston Estate and NBC canceled plans to air a previously taped duet between the hologram and Christina Aguilera, which was originally scheduled to debut during the season finale of The Voice this week. In a statement issued exclusively to ET, estate executor Pat Houston said: "Holograms are new technology that take time to perfect, and we believe with artists of this iconic caliber, it must be perfect. Whitney’s legacy and her devoted fans deserve perfection. After closely viewing the performance, we decided the hologram was not ready to air.
"It did work, it just was incomplete," Greek billionaire Alki David, who created the hologram with his company, Hologram USA, tells ET on Friday.
Earlier this week, footage surfaced online appearing to show Aguilera performing with the hologram. David says that what fans saw was "incomplete work."
"Certainly there was more enhancement to the face that needed to be done on the final close-ups that were chosen for the TV show, because there is a difference between seeing a live performance and seeing an extreme close-up," he explains, pointing to those who were lucky enough to witness the performance in-person.
"There were people in the audience that were crying," he says.
The Houston Estate had nothing but rave reviews for Aguilera in its statement, calling the 35-year-old singer's performance "absolutely flawless."
We saw it and didnt see anything wrong with it, but her family whos been around the late superstar would know more than all of us as far her look. But we still think its creepy to have these holograms on stage.

A cleverly written two-act stage satire that explores the "attitudes of relationships". Audience interaction helps tells this salacious story where all opinions matter. Heard it all before, but never like this! Sadie a business professional is finally fed up with the ways of her alleged cheating boyfriend, Don. She is eager to work it out with a therapist who pushes the envelope just a bit too far! It's quick. It's witty. It's the conversation "before I do".

Why does the Kloe Kardashian divorce to Lamar Odom seem part of the Kardashians reality show plot? Why are people blaming Loni Love for the firing of Tamar on The Real? And Why cant The St Louis Blues win a Stanley Cup?
