• Grammys 2015 Best Urban Contemporary Album Nominees, Who Should Win & Who Will Win: Beyoncé, Pharrell, Chris Brown, Jhené Aiko, & Mali Music Battle For Award

    The 57th Annual Grammy Awards hosted by LL Cool J will air live from the Los Angeles Staples Center this Sunday, Feb. 8 at 8 p.m. EST on CBS. We've examined the biggest categories and have put in our two cents on who we think should win and who we think will win each award. Vote for your pick in the poll at the bottom of the page. Although we don't predict G I R L winning Album of the Year, the effort could fare well in the Urban Contemporary department, which in its third year as a category celebrates albums that include "the more contemporary elements of R&B and may incorporate production elements found in urban pop, urban Euro-pop, urban rock, and urban alternative." Pharrell is the face of contemporary production, and his latest effort splashes pop, funk, and dance onto its R&B canvas. The album also features heavyweight contributors Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, Daft Punk and Miley Cyrus, adding to its mainstream appeal.

  • Chris Brown Probation Revoked Following Night Club Shooting, New Progress Hearing Scheduled For March

    Since being released from jail in July, Chris Brown dropped a new album, performed at some awards shows, made a cameo at the ESPYs, and started and squashed beefs, among other things.

In August, Suge Knight was shot multiple times at his Party in Los Angeles and earlier this month, five people were shot at a private party, where he was performing in San Jose. Now the "Loyal" crooner's probation has been revoked in connection to the recent nightclub shooting.
