After being signed to Jay Z’s Roc Nation label seven years ago in 2008, Rita Ora wants off of the label, and is suing to leave her contract (to which she is contractually binded until 2019).
In the lawsuit, the British singer is claiming since Roc Na- tion has expanded their focus into sports management, the music streaming service TIDAL, etc., the paperwork claims the label forgot about her. She claims she has recently been funding all of her record- ing, TV appearances, and videos.
Rita is suing Roc Nation, saying they violate California law (where she now lives) under the “seven-year rule” in which a renegotiation or settle- ment is usually reached.

Steve Harvey announced and crowned the wrong winner of the Miss Universe pageant.
TGT Is Done; Tyrese Hints It’s Ginuwine’s Fault
TGT: Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank
It's the breakout role which will forever define his career.
Now young newcomer John Boyega has revealed his friends thought he was just an extra in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The 23-year-old - who plays one of the lead roles of Finn in the science fiction movie - ad- mits his pals had no idea he had such a key role in the film. Speaking on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, he
said: 'I took them to the Lon- don premiere and after the premiere they were just like, "Yo, John, I never knew you were in the movie for so long – I thought you were an extra!"
'I’m like, all this time I was leaving from Monday to Fri- day, what did you think I was doing, man, for two years?'
Meanwhile, John even ad- mitted he was brought to tears when he realized he had such a key role in the movie.
Steve Harvey was the host of the Miss Universe pageant and boy did he screw up the ending. Harvey named Miss Colombia as the winner when the card clearly said that she was the first runner up and Miss Philippines was the
actual winner. It’s going to be hard for Harvey to live this one down.
“I want to apologize emphat- ically to Miss Philippines and Miss Columbia. This was a terribly honest human mistake and I am so regretful.”
Michael Jackson Continues To Break Album Sales Record
It’s been 6.5 years since his death, by Michael Jackson is STILL breaking album sales records!
His newest millstone is that his 1982 album Thriller has now reached 30 million al- bums sold in the U.S., accord- ing to his estate!
It was certified 29 times platinum in the U.S. less than two months after his death, and has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide.
Thriller won eight Gram- mys, more than any album ever, and spent nearly 2.5 years on the Billboard album chart.
Things are getting messy be- hind the scenes of TGT, the group consisting of Tyrese, Ginuwine & Tank.
I thought it was common knowledge fact that TGT was done (especially after Tank and Tyrese both released solo albums in the last year) but
Tyrese put the nail in the cof- fin last week (Dec. 17) with an Instagram post (which has now been deleted). At first he said it was business related but, but then he seemed to hint that fellow group member Ginuwine is responsible for the split.
Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ has sold 30 million albums in the U.S. alone.

The 20-year-old feud be- tween Brandy and Countess Vaughn has finally been laid to rest with a heartfelt social media exchange.
For four years during the ’90s, the two actresses co- started on the UPN sitcom, “Moesha,” but rumor had it that Vaughn was jealous of Brandy, the star of the show. In 1999, Vaughn, who had played Moesha’s best friend, Kim Parker, left the series to be the star of her own show, “The Parkers.” By then, the general consensus among fans was that the actresses hated one another.
In an April 1998 issue of Vibe, Brandy spilled some shocking information about her relationship with Vaughn.
“I think she’s very funny, very talented,” Brandy says. “I just feel like she wants to be in the position I’m in. People tell her, ‘You’re the reason why the show’s successful.’ And she’s told me that before. And she’s called me a b—h to my face. “She knows,” says Brandy of Vaughn. “She wakes up and looks at herself in the mirror and she gets disgusted. I don’t.”
But Vaughn now wants to put all past disagreements be- hind her and the singer. The “Hollywood Divas” star re- cently wrote a tear-jerking apology directed at Brandy on Instagram. Brandy re- sponded, accepting Vaughn’s apology and even mentioned the possibility of working to- gether in the future.
