Tamar Braxton and her Dancing With The Stars part- ner, Valentin Chmerkovskiy had the top score on Tuesday night’s show. The theme was hometown dance. The duo did the Charleston.
Tamar and Valentin con- tinued to (playfully) butt heads in practice, as each dancer fought to be in control. Ulti- mately, they found a happy medium and came together in unison for their performance.
"You nailed it!" Carrie Ann cheered. "It was seamless," Ju- lianne added.
Score: 25 out of 30 (highest of the night!)
Grade: A+. Go Tay Tay!

DRAKE DR. DRE
Forbes has released their an- nual rundown of hip-hop’s highest paid entertainers. This year’s Hip-Hop Cash Kings list has familiar names, but with different rankings.
Diddy took the top spot this year with $60 million thanks to Sean John, Revolt TV, his water brand, Aquahydrate and Ciroc vodka. Jay Z came in the second spot earning $56 mil- lion over the past year due to touring with his wife, Bey- once, his Roc Nation manage- ment company and his deal with Armand de Brignac cham- pagne.
Drake made the highest debut of his career on the list and even snagged a higher spot than Dr. Dre, who topped the list last year. Touring gave Drizzy the financial boost, grossing almost $1 million a night during his last tour. Sales from his surprise project, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, and endorsement deals with Sprite and Nike also helped him bring in some extra coins.
Though Dre came in at no. 1 last year with $620 million, he slid down to the #4 slot this year due to his checks from Apple not being as fruitful. Though he released an album, Compton, and pro- duced the highest grossing mu-

Idris Elba is the epitome of cool as he guest stars in the of- ficial music video for D'Banj's hit single, Confidential.
Dressed to impress in a suit and bowler hat, the star of HBO's hit drama The Wire and BBC show Luther, showed off his super suave dance moves.
The DJ showed he has ex- actly what it takes to strut his stuff, which is why it's little wonder he's been rumored to be in the running to play the next Bond.
Kitted out in a grey suit and crisp white shirt, the 43-year- old star gets down and dirty as he raps about G-strings and his passionate sexual exploits in the black and white video. The hunky actor plays with his black bowler hat, caresses his

But it would appear the Lon- don-born star has a lot more to offer the 'street' music scene, having recently revealed that he is a dab hand at breakdanc- ing.
Rapper Azaliea Banks’ Bad Behavior Spills Over On Flight To L.A.
Empire’s ‘Tiana’ Talks About Cinderella Climb To Fame
AZEALIA BANKS
Rapper Azealia Banks launched a foul mouthed tirade on a flight attendant and tried to physically attack a man after she was unable to get off of a plane.
The 24-year-old was attempt- ing to disembark the jet when it landed in LA in the early hours of Tuesday morning, but could not leave because a French cou- ple were blocking her path.
The singer, who had been sitting in seat 6A, allegedly went ballistic at the unsuspecting pair, who had been seated in the third row for the duration of the flight from New York.
As the French man put his hand out to tell her to wait, Azealia went mad, and accord- ing to an eyewitness, spat and punched him in his face and clawed at his shirt.
Taking her frustrations out on a flight attendant, she started screaming and called him a 'f***ing f***ot.' Police spoke to Azealia at baggage claim, as well as witnesses.
However the French couple decided not to press charges - they had come to LA on vacation and didn't want the disruption.
The rapper claims that her re- action was self defense and said it was actually her who was hit.
With the premiere of the sec- ond season of “Empire” Wednesday night, fans were excitedly revving up, and the stars made their promo rounds.
Serayah McNeill (also known as “Tiana” on the show) recently chatted about the Cinderella-like story of her rise to fame out of obscurity.
In the interview, the singer- songwriter explains she was simply a college student work- ing a part time job and pursu- ing her passion for music. It was a chance audition that scored her the part of the feisty Tiana. But she wants people to distinguish her from her char- acter. “I’ve been really working hard and coming up with strategies and plans to separate the two, because I am very much so different than my character musically and per- sonality wise. So, a lot of peo- ple come up in the business and kind of go from role to role and people just see them grad- ually grow. As for me, they don’t know who I am, you know, at all. So it is really im- portant for me to distinguish

myself outside of the show,” she explained.
Her exposure gained her a part in Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” video, and the two have become great friends. She’s al- ready performed with Swift in concert and at the BET Awards, and she says it helps for her character. “I mean, she’s [Tiana] a huge pop star on TV and I’m getting to do a lot of those elements in real life and that’s the amazing part though in getting fans to relate to Ser- ayah and see more about me and really believe how that story connects,” she said.
