Sevyn Streeter just dropped off second single “It Won’t Stop” from her upcoming debut album. Over a Diplo-produced beat, the CBE songwriter paints a sexy rendezvous with her unnamed boo.

“I love me some soulful R&B music,” she tells Vixen of what fans can expect from the studio project. “With that said, I love pop music, I love alternative music, I love pop rock. But whether I wake up and it’s a pop record that I write or an alternative record, it’s still coming from Sevyn and the core of Sevyn is urban. The core of the album is going to be urban and it’s going to cater to that side of me.”

Press play and vibe out.

Karrueche’s newly single. Well, she was. Or maybe she still is. But according to sources, the Vietnamese model is back with former beau Chris Brown. And, honestly, it’s not so flattering for her to be rushing back into her ex’s arms. (Why keep revisiting the past, right?)

Plain and simple, it’d be nice to see this petite pretty girl venture into fishing for new bait. With a new honey blonde-dipped haircut and a positive attitude despite the messy love triangle with Breezy’s ex Rihanna, the budding designer should kick her feet up and chill with five famous dudes. Not all at once, of course.

Kendrick Lamar

It’ll be poetic justice for Compton MC and one of L.A.’s It girls to settle down together. Plus, we figure she’d be a great muse for the TDE pen god.

Matt Kemp

My how the tables would turn if the Left Coast native chose this Dodgers baller as her newest arm candy. Dating Rihanna’s old news may have Breezy sic his OHB goons on the baseball star (see: Frank Ocean beef), but even worse, RiRi may come for K-Rue on more than just Instagram. Nevertheless, this duo could work.

Trey Songz

Karrueche likes Virginia boys (clearly), so why not dig in to the Commonwealth’s other crooner, Mr. Steal Yo Girl?

John Wall

Already her rumored boo, the 6’4″ Wizards b-baller could sweep Karrueche her feet. That is, if CB doesn’t mind his homie taking his (ex) girl.

Jeremih Teyana Taylor

Already besties and kissing buddies with Harlem World’s It girl, K-Rue should switch up sides in the dating field and make a play for Teyana.

While people may believe her marriage to Wissam Al Mana earlier this year elevated her tax bracket, think again. Janet Jackson is officially sitting on her own billi, according to Variety.

The iconic singer–who is prepping a new album–has entered the billion-dollar club thanks to reportedly raking in $458 million for tours, $304 million for silver screen looks, $260 million in album sales and more than $81 million in sponsorships and licensing fees.

Rich, much? Add Miss “Poetic Justice” (ahem, Miss Jackson) to the elite class that includes Oprah Winfrey, J.K. Rowling and Steve Jobs.

Our June cover Vixen channeled the 70s model and activist for a updated spin on that rockstar lifestyle. Draped in everything from Catherine Malandrino and Tom Ford to Opening Ceremony and Manolos, L-Boogie suited up for her a few–we’re totally being modest here–dope shots. Press play for Lauren’s super cute (and kickass) BTS interview, and check out LL’s beauty must-haves and summer style forecast below.VIBE Vixen: Tell me about your beauty regimen? What are some of your must-haves?
Lauren London: I have to have MAC spiked [eyebrow pencil] and bronzer.

I know you’re hiding some beauty secrets, too.
[Laughs] As long as your eyebrows are clean and you have a clean face, you’re good to go.

Any style trends you’re anxious about or that you want to die this summer?
I’m really over everyone wearing Jordan’s, even though I wear Jordans [Laughs]. But I’ve been wearing Jordans since ’92. I really want everyone to put it away.

You don’t believe the girls rocking J’s are real Jordan heads?
No. I just feel like there are certain girls that never have worn them before.

Now, the photo shoot was very 70s inspired. How does that style era influence you today?
It influences everything. I love anything inspired by the 70s, from the music to the clothes. Capricorn has this joke that I dress like Stevie Nicks.

What celebrity or influences out there are killing the style trends across the board?
I love anything Cameron Diaz. Gwen Stefani, Victoria Beckham. I like Halle’s style. Charlize, she’s effortless. But I dress more like Drew Barrymore. I want Rachel Zoe’s closet

Who doesn’t? Who are your top 3 favorite designers?
Alexander McQueen, Givenchy and McCartney.

If you could design a shoe collection or fashion line, with whom would you want to collab?
Rachel Zoe.

LAUREN LONDON IS MILES beyond Down South coming-of-age flick ATL, both literally and figuratively. The 28-year-old actress phones in from the Left Coast, somewhere in the Hills where cell service is worst than kitten heels. She sounds calm but prepared. Sugary sweet even. But the mom of 4-year-old son Cameron with rapper Lil Wayne makes no mistake about her ability to take it to a place called There when it comes to he said, she said chatter.

Despite hanging against the Hollywood ropes for a round (or three) while pregnant, L-Boogie maintained consistent work, managing to appear in quite a few silver screen features (I Love You, Beth Cooper, Next Day Air, Good Hair) and TV slots (90210, Entourage). Still, her off-screen journey is where most media attention locks in, splashing headlines of false romantic match-ups and speculations about her relationship with Weezy across the ‘net. “I’m still a human and things do hurt, but you can’t let people’s opinions define you because we’re all battling something,” she says of brushing up rumors, adding, “Me? Yeah, I’m definitely a fighter.”

While appealing to both African American-specific and mainstream audiences like a Top 40 pop record, Lauren’s personal life–the intimate details, at least–remains off-limits. Behind the curtain? A semi-vet who is admittedly in the business but not of it. “My life, my son’s life, my soul and who I am as a person means much more to me than the limelight,” she explains. “[Acting] is what I chose to do, not who I am.” No matter how much blogs try to peel back specifics, Lauren remains tight-lipped. “If they want to see more of me, go rent your movies or watch the show.”

Now, officially taking lead role reigns in BET’s fan-favorite sitcom The Game as flirty former child star Keira Whitaker, the Rachel Zoe-loving prima donna’s back on Hollywood geo-maps and rubbing elbows with Tinseltown’s brown-faced elite (see: Gabrielle Union, Loretta Devine, Regina King, Mekhi Phifer). Edit in: London’s forthcoming character as Paula Patton’s little sis and bride-to-be in David E. Talbert’s Baggage Claim, due later this year. “I’m engaged to Terrence J, which is awesome because he’s really like my brother in real life, so I love him.”

Any chance LL’s walking down the aisle anytime soon? “I’m not dating at all. I don’t know if I’ll have the time. But I’m very fiery and sassy, so I need someone to keep up with that.”

But there’s more to Lauren’s bark and bite. And apparently, we don’t know the half. — Niki McGloster

VIBE Vixen: Something you’ve mentioned about your character on The Game–“20somethings are a hot mess.” Tell me how closely similar you are to Keira Whitaker at that age?
Lauren London: I could relate to her on figuring out my placement as to who I wanted to be as a woman. I didn’t ever have a wildin’ out stage, and Keira gets drunk and belligerent. I was never like that. But in my early 20s, starting in the business, you’re trying to figure out who you are and who you want to be, where you fit in. That was more where I can relate, but other than that, not at all.

How did you get into character and tap into that wilder side?
To keep it real, it was what needed to happen for the characters, so I just tapped into it and did it. It’s acting. You just become the character.

What do you think young women can learn from other 20somethings on TV, especially on HBO’s phenomenon Girls? Are they true to the real experience of a 20something-year-old girl today?
What these characters show you is raw vulnerability, that it’s okay to not have it all together and in the process of getting it together, you’re going to make mistakes. That’s how you learn. That’s what all these characters kind of possess. In the process of figuring it out, you mess up, but in those slip-ups, that’s how you figure it out.

You say you didn’t have too many wild moments. But is there a lesson you learned in your early 20s that you carry with you now?
Starting my career, there was a lot of rejection going on. I remember my dad telling me that if you let that define you, they’ll basically make you nothing. You have to define yourself. Every time you hear a no, it’s one step closer to a yes. Jobs come and go, so I don’t get too down on myself. You have to stay self-motivated. If you wait for someone else to motivate you, you’ll be waiting for a long time. You have to really be your own cheerleader. Even if you don’t feel all that way in the moment, tell yourself that you’re enough.

Any lessons learned from your mom, ones you’ll pass down to your son?
Being resilient. No matter what, never giving up on your dreams. It sounds cliché but it’s so real. She grew up struggling, but she was always very positive, no matter how bad things came. We kept a positive outlook because your perception is everything. It is your reality. That is something I want to pass down to my child. My mom was very into inner beauty. She would say all the time, “Being cute is cute, but who are you on the inside?”

Smart woman. So, who are you?
I’m still growing and still learning. I’m okay with the process. I understand the growing pains a little more than I did. I’m more trusting with the process and it doesn’t come easy. I question it sometimes.

What is one main thing you’re still learning?
Faith and thicker skin. Not letting what people have to say about me matter so much.

You get a lot of bullshit, especially in the media. Have you always had that will to fight back in you?
I’m not going to front. I’m not a lover, I’m a fighter. I will forget that I am Hollywood and get Holly-hood [Laughs].

But a lot of gossip is just rumors since you’re so private.
I was always a private person. My business is my business. I have a small group of friends, and I just like the simple things out of life. My privacy is something that I value. I’m also socially awkward.

No way. Really?
Yeah. I get nervous in large crowds. I’m approachable though because I’m just like you. I just have a different job.

Über private megastars like Denzel Washington come to mind. You have to be able to master that kind of balance between real life and celebrity.
Yeah. When they see you, they see you. Sidney Poitier said, “Why would they come see you on Saturday when they saw you on Friday.” I’m going to take that advice and follow the footsteps of somebody like that. I love to act, I love doing films, and it’s that simple. I have more to prove to myself because I can definitely be better. I’m not stopping here. I’m still working on me and exercising my muscle called acting. I want to be great. I don’t really care for the other stuff. People get really shocked when I say that but that’s just who I am.

With you being a private person and all, when you got pregnant, what was going through your mind?
The public was the last thought. Most of my thoughts were on my family and inner circle. It was mostly how is this affecting Lauren as a person and is Lauren ready to completely put herself to the side and be a mother. My priorities were changing. My career was last.

Before ATL, people didn’t know about me. I auditioned for ATL and no one cared who I was. I was a regular girl in L.A. who auditioned and got the role. No one knew I was doing it and I did it. No one gave me that. I did that. They can’t take what they didn’t give. God has the last say, so I just trust that. Is it an uphill battle? Yes. But isn’t everything? I’m not starving.

Family – you were worried about how they would take it?
Well, you know, it’s another human being in the world. That affects everybody, and one thing I learned about life is that your choices don’t just affect you, it affects everybody connected to you.VV: Speaking of family, the set of Baggage Claim must’ve been like a mini reunion.
LL: I did most of my scenes with Paula, Terrence and Jennifer Lewis, who is awesome. We had a good time.

You’re getting married in the film. What are your thoughts on walking down the aisle?
I think it’s awesome when it’s done right. I don’t think anyone is supposed to be alone, you know. Having a partner and having somebody that is with you through the ups and downs is awesome. I’m all about connection. If I connected with someone and met a nice guy maybe, but I just haven’t ran into that yet.

Sometimes the nice guy can be too nice.
The grown man is a good alternative.

When you mean grown – no games, established?
Grown, secure in himself and who he is, aware of what he wants and willing to learn and grow with somebody else. I think everybody is waiting for me to settle down and find him [Laughs]. I’m really selective and picky.

Give us a quick synopsis of your sexiest sex story?
I’d have to kill you if I tell you [Laughs]. I can’t have my son reading this shit 20 years down the line.

Most of us know how the Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston fairytale marriage ended (see: Angelina Jolie). But in an interview with Parade magazine, the Moneyball actor, 42, details his 5-year relationship with Aniston as much less than stellar than fans and even critics could imagine. “I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic,” he says.

“It became very clear to me that I was so intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself,” he adds. “I think my marriage [to Aniston] had something to do with it: trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”

Pitt quickly released a statement to E! Online Tuesday night (May 21) following the release of the interview saying, ”It grieves me that this was interpreted this way. Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself — and that, I am responsible for.”

Now living a fulfilling life with Jolie, 36, and their six kids, Pitt tells the mag that he’s focused on being a satisfied man. “I’m satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much.”

Oops! There goes her time off.

Tweet is back and ready to drop a single and album later this year.

In a recent interview on “The Skorpion Show,” the “Oops (Oh My)” singer opened up about the new projects she’s working on. “The album is coming in September, she said. “The new single is coming out this month or next month. We’re working. We’re getting it.”

According to Singersroom, the 41-year-old scored a new recording and distribution deal with James Dubose–who’s worked with artists like Monica and Keyshia Cole–and is excited about this new work.

“It’s been a long time coming. I really appreciate y’all for supporting because it is kind of hard to come back and not know if people are going to be receptive,” she said.

Watch the rest of the interview above where she speaks on the state of R&B music and her relationship with Missy Elliot and Aaliyah.

Solange is well-versed in being an independent woman.

The mixed print-loving songbird has announced upstart record company Saint Records, a label distributed by Sony.

“Big news day for me! Wasn’t ready to announce, but since false info is spreading I will gladly do so:) Supppppperr EXCITED!” the svelte chanteuse sent through the Twitter waves before gushing about her new venture. “Super stoked to announce I’ve started my own label,SAINT RECORDS,where I’ll be releasing my music & other projects distributed through SONY!”

Sol-Angel’s third studio LP will be housed under Saint, as well as other music projects she’s whipping up but not quite ready to share. She has “100% creative/artistic control.”

Until then, Solange, who recently performed at Sweetlife Music Festival, continues to rock indie (hipster) crowds with gems from her latest True EP.

According to speculation, the music industry is buzzing that Blue Ivy’s mommy is looking to do an encore in the delivery room. The infamous gossip rag reports that Queen B’s belted Givenchy get-up at the Met Gala and hint of protruding belly in London has sent the Baby No. 2 rumors spinning into overtime.

Although she has not confirmed the chatter, the actress–who received animated treatment for new film Epic–tells Good Morning America that she does want to take the 9-month ride again. “I would like more children,” she says. “I think my daughter needs some company. I definitely love being a big sister.”

However joyous this time may be for the new (and expecting?) parents, the Beyhive only wants to know one thing: What will become of the Mrs. Carter world tour? Will millions of fans who clawed at keyboards to snag an overpriced pair of golden tickets be subjected to back-to-back postponed dates like Rihanna’s Navy?

Sure, the high-energy showstopper shut down New York City’s Roseland Ballroom four nights in a row with B.I.C. chillin’ in the womb, but a stellar multi-city I Am World Tour-like schedule is another beast. Not to mention, she’s got a slew of headlining appearances (BET Awards, Made In America Festival, The Sound of Change) to slay. The blonde-haired mom-shell has proved countless times that she’s no ordinary woman, but is she a superhero? Her cancelled show in Belgium due to dehydration and exhaustion for Tuesday (May 14) night could be the telling sign.

Reps are staying mum on Blue Ivy’s potential sibling. But if Bey’s carrying another heir, expect a grand announcement… and a few quiet concert halls.
