A mere two weeks after news broke that tennis player Serena Williams was trying her hands at a rap career, a sneak peek at what she sounds like has made its way online.

Back in March, B.o.B told us what to expect of his Nelly-assisted track 'MJ,' which at the time was slated to appear on his second LP, 'Strange Clouds' (in stores this week). Turns out it's actually only available as a bonus cut at Target, and now it's recently made its way online.

Commercials may not be her thing, but perhaps television is. Mary J. Blige has signed on to be a judge on 'Opening Act,' a talent search-style reality TV show set to air on the E! network.

Mike Posner and Big Sean have a relationship that dates back before either artist blew up, and the Detroit natives are looking to exploit their shared history together on 'Top Of The World.' The Diplo-produced tune is set to appear on Posner's forthcoming second album, 'Sky High.'

While 'Good Feeling' and his Sia-assisted second single 'Wild Ones' are still dominating charts the world over, Flo Rida is showing no signs of slowing down. The 32-year old MC has just released 'Whistle,' the third single from his fourth album, 'Only One Rida (Part 2),' which is due in stores this July.

Despite the fact that follow Young Money recording artist Nicki Minaj has collaborated with French DJ/producer David Guetta, don't expect Drake to follow suit. The Toronto-bred rapper is not a fan of fist-pumping dance music.

Chances are strong that every day is a weed holiday for a celebrated tokers Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg, but today, on '4/20 Day,' they teamed up — along with country stars Kris Kristofferson and Jamey Johnson — to release 'Roll me Up,' an ode to marijuana's unofficial holiday.

Mariah Carey is hard at work cooking up tracks for her 14th album, and from the look of things, it doesn't appear that she's fiddling with a winning recipe. She sticks with what works!

One thing that's quickly becoming apparent about British songstress Rita Ora is that she's one super fashionable woman -- pulling inspirations from Gwen Stefani and Kanye West.
