Drake has just dropped a new track, and we can't get enough of it.

The rapper has teamed up with Beyoncé for his new song, Can I, two years after the pair first worked together on Bey's own album.

Drake played the track on his OVO Sound radio show on Apple Music's Beats 1 over the weekend, and we can already tell it's going to be a hit.

A leaked, unpolished version of the song first went public back in May, though neither Drake or Beyoncé made any comment at the time.

Though Can I primarily features Drake rapping, it's based around a sample of Beyoncé saying, "Can I baby?" on repeat.

Drake and Beyoncé's work on the 2013 track Mine from Bey's self-titled album got mixed reviews from critics, with one saying the rapper turned an otherwise good song into a "a six-minute slog."

Speaking around the time of the song's release, Drake said he was thrilled to get to work with such a high-profile star.

"I really believe strongly in her talent and her position in our generation," he told Vibe. 

"I think she’s one of the biggest stars ever, but especially for these girls right now. I feel like they need Beyoncé."

The singer came under fire earlier this year when it was revealed she had refused to give any interviews or "answer a direct question" in over a year. 

But Drake's definitely not one of her critics… he's a self-confessed "Beyoncé believer."

Jennifer Lopez has just announced she has joined the ranks of women fighting for gender equality. 

The singer has just joined the front lines of the gender equality fight, starting a new position as global advocate for women and girls at the U.N. Foundation, a role which both Beyoncé and Emma Watson acquired before her. 

But J Lo is adopting the cause for a personal reason, as she told U.N. President Kathy Calvin at an event on Friday. 

"Having boy-girl twins really opened my eyes to how different men and women are and makes me think about how I treat my boy and how I treat my girl."

The U.N. set goals last week to achieve gender equality in 15 years – and Jennifer is determined to get to that finish line because of her family. 

"At the end of the day, when I picture 2030 when we reach these goals, I want my twins standing side by side and I want them looking at a landscape that has the same opportunity for both of them," she said.

"That the world is as much of an oyster for Emme as it is for Max."

Viola Davis and Patricia Arquette's speeches hot home for the 46-year-old, according to The Cut, and motivated her to use her own following to make a difference. 

"As an artist, I strive to inspire so people can aspire to do bigger and better things with their lives," she said.

"And for me, women should have all of those opportunities and should aspire to be the President of the United States…it could happen soon!"

Naughty Boy might be getting along well with Beyoncé right now, but in not so distant past he was in the middle of very public feud with Zayn Malik.

The two were reportedly working on music together that would launch Zayn’s solo career after he left One Direction, but things took a turn for the nasty. Now Naughty Boy is speaking out for the first time on his apparently ongoing feuds with the boyband and one former Directioner.

He sat down with Lorraine Kelly to talk about his recent collaboration with Beyoncé but when Zayn and the boys came up, he couldn’t hide his irritation.

Talking about how it became “a bit of a circus,” Naughty Boy explained that the reason it all came about was because of how 1D fans accused him of trying to split up the band.

He did admit that he got “a bit caught up” in the whole ordeal.

"When Zayn left the group, I was accused of being the reason why he left. People thought he left because he wanted to work with me.”

He compared the row with Zayn and the band as being in primary school and said he doesn’t feel that One Direction are a band:

"One Direction aren't even a band. They're more like an economy. Not a band.”

He added that he’s not “a tabloid guy” and he doesn’t want to be in the papers, he just wanted to be known for his music, not celebrity feuds.

"I hated the [One Direction spat]. I want to put it all to one side now and move on,” he said before adding that now that he’s working people like Beyoncé he feels like he’s doing his masters.

"This whole year has been such a journey and to end on a note like this – I couldn't ask for more.”

Not too long ago we lucky enough to be witness to two thirds of the super-groups that was Destiny’s Child reunite for a very special musical moment.

Minus Bey. Kelly and Michelle got together to serenade Kelly’s 10-month old son, Titan Jewell and it was adorable and sounded incredible too.

 

A video posted by kellyrowland (@kellyrowland) on

Before that Kelly had said that while she was working on new music and hoping to record something soon, it was no longer her first priority as Titan, her first child with Tim Weatherspoon had taken that spot.

However, Matthew Knowles, father of Beyoncé and former manager of the musical trio has recently told the Huffington Post that Kelly’s words shouldn’t make us too upset.

"I am extremely hopeful that the ladies will come back with an album and a tour,” he said, "I'm working on a few Destiny's Child projects right now." 

Amazing.

The ladies haven’t released any new music together since Beyoncé and Kelly featured on Michelle’s 2014 track Say Yes but things could be different in the future seeing as the next projects would be spearheaded by Matthew himself.

He added: “My second book will be the autobiography of Destiny's Child. I'm talking to the film and TV community right now, regarding a Destiny's Child movie or TV series of some sort.”

Bey’s dad and music mogul also made the prediction that “within the next two or three years we’ll see something major from it.”

She's undoubtedly one of the most gorgeous women in the world.

And on stage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas last night for the iHeart Radio festival, the audience was left in no doubt that Jennifer Lopez is also one of the hottest performers around.

Donning a tiny criss-cross white leotard with nude fish-net tights, the 46-year-old wowed the crowd with her incredibly energetic presence. 

It seems that J-Lo is also eager to get in on another hot trend-of-the-moment: namely the thighbrow crease beloved of Beyonce, Rihanna and the Kardashian-Jenners.

Created when your thigh meets your hip, it allegedly looks an eyebrow, hence the name. And with the growth in popularity of high-riding swimsuits, it's pretty much all over Instagram right now.

Certainly, Ms Lopez's high-cut on-stage attire was perfect for embracing the look last night – and she even exaggerated the appearance of her thighbrow with the use of cleverly-positioned straps around her bum.

Also yesterday, Jenny From The Block announced that her forthcoming Las Vegas residency will be entitled, All I Have.

She kicks off the stint in January at the AXIS Theater and it is being billed as a "high-energy production," which features "Lopez’s iconic hit performances, as well as a combination of ballads, Latin music, funk and more".

Oh hello there Bey!

Beyoncé managed (sort of) to surprise her legions of fans last night when she brought them a brand new track for their listening pleasure.

Naughty Boy, the DJ/producer managed to get Bey on board for a collaboration on his new track Runnin’ (Lose it All). The dance track has quite a soulful sound to it, no doubt helped by having Bey’s vocals all over the chorus.

The single also features British singer Arrow Benjamin. Reports from the Sun suggest that Bey had first heard the song back when it was still unfinished on YouTube. She liked it so much that she asked Naughty Boy to take it down so they could work on the track together.

Bey has been the news already this week for reasons not music related. Photographs of the star on holiday with her family prompted some fresh pregnancy rumours to begin floating about.

However, the star apparently dismissed the whispers with one Instagram snap, because when you’re Beyoncé that is just how you do things.

She left the snap without a caption and chose to let the photo speak for itself, as the saying goes.

Beyoncé is seen looking very pleased with herself sitting a board a fancy yacht and sipping on some chilled champagne.

The 34-year old and her husband Jay-Z, along with daughter Blue Ivy are enjoying themselves on the Amalfi coast. The singer has been quite candid with her holiday snaps of late, sharing them with her fans on her website.

It looks like they are having a ball, although who wouldn’t when your holiday is cruising around on a private yacht, NBD.

Muttering that she is expecting her second child – a sibling for three-year-old Blue Ivy – never seem far away.

Indeed, earlier this week when bikini snaps emerged of the star on a family holiday in Italy, Beyonce was hit with a fresh round of pregnancy gossip.

However, she has now answered the rumours in rather spectacular fashion: holding aloof a chilled glass of champagne.

Significantly, she has left the snap captionless, allowing the image itself to do all the talking.

The 34-year-old and her rapper husband, Jay Z, are currently on the Almafi coast (a favourite spot of theirs), enjoying time on a luxurious yacht.

Ms Knowles has been particularly candid with her holiday album too – sharing numerous snaps of her and her family during their well-earned break abroad.

As well as pictures capturing their stunning surroundings, the multi Grammy Award-winner can be seen lounging around with a floral head-dress.

Meanwhile, one black-and-white snap shows Jay gazing out at the Mediterranean Sea. And in a more recent video, she and her gorgeous family can been seen dancing around their villa while eating fruit.

With 45.7million, Beyonce remains some half a million Instagram followers behind first placed Kim Kardashian – who now boasts 46.3million fans on the social media platform.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are house-hunting again this week, just four months after moving into a swish new home.

The couple ditched New York for a permanent home in Los Angeles back in February, but they've had a run of bad luck since then. After first being outbid on a $70m (€62.5m) Beverly Hills mansion, the superstar pair decided to rent in the area instead.

Since February they've dropped $150k (€134k) a month on a lavish mansion in Holmby Hillls… but they've already been given their marching orders.

The couple's landlord is kicking them out in favour of a mystery buyer who wants to purchase the seven-bedroom home for a cool $35.5m (€31.7m).

Bey and Jay were given the option of outbidding the buyer but chose not to, and so will have to vacate the premises in the next 60 days. 

As well as all those bedrooms, the plush white mansion has eight bathrooms, a tennis court, an infinity pool and even two libraries. It's also located within the 'Platinum Triangle' of Los Angeles’ priciest and most exclusive neighbourhoods – Holmby Hills, Beverly Hills and Bel-Air.

If they don't find a house soon, it will be back to hotel life for the couple and their three-year-old daughter Blue Ivy – they moved into a private suite in a Beverly Hills hotel in early 2015 while house-hunting.

Despite their struggle to find a permanent LA home, the superstars seem intent on continuing the search.

They've even enrolled Blue in an infant program at an exclusive, unnamed private LA school, where tuition fees are believed to be in excess of $15,080 (€14,000) a year.

Only the best for the Carter-Knowles crew.

She may be only three years old, but Blue Ivy Carter certainly knows how to charm an audience.

The celebrity tot joined her mum at dance rehearsals ahead of the Budweiser Made In America festival, and didn't hesitate to strut her stuff.

Proud mama Beyoncé shared some sweet Instagram snaps from Blue's debut, and we have fallen in love. Check her out mimicking Bey's chereography:

Another snap shows little Blue singing into her own microphone, personalised with Dora the Explorer stickers.

And we adore this mum-and-daughter photo of the pair climbing the stairs together while holding props and dancing shoes:

Blue's dad Jay-Z has spoken before about his daughter's love of music, saying she is her parents' "biggest fan" and loves listening to their songs.

"She does like her mother’s music—she watches [Beyoncé’s concerts] on the computer every night," he told Vanity Fair recently. 

"But my album [Magna Carta Holy Grail] came out and… she loves all the songs. She plays a song and she goes, ‘More, Daddy, more … Daddy song.’" 

Too cute.

Beyoncé came under fire earlier this month for her refusal to give an interview alongside her Vogue cover shoot, but if these recent photos are anything to go by she'd rather open up on social media instead.

BTW, we're totally in support of that decision, if it means more adorable snaps of her and Blue.

Last week best friend of Khloe Kardashian, Malika Haqq revealed just how serious she was about her new love.

Malkia sat down with E! News and for a chat and revealed that Khloe and James are “very happy.” The pair haven’t been saying much, nothing at all really, about their relationship. Malika however confirmed Khloe is certainly moving on from her divorce drama with Lamar Odom.

According to Hollywood Life, sources are saying about James: “he has told close friends that Khloe is the one.”

Other media outlets are saying that Khloe is adding to her security team in efforts to avoid any further confrontations after she was “blindsided” by Lamar when she was leaving the gym.

“Nobody was going to take any chances with Khloe’s safety, so the decision was made to hire bodyguards,” a source tells RadarOnline.

Meanwhile, as things continue to get serious between James and Khloe, another celeb seems to be catching his attention.

On Saturday Beyoncé performed at the Made In America festival and fans were beside themselves with joy.

One fan in particular couldn’t help but comment on her outfit choice.

 

Bey got too much swagger in that jersey!! @beyonce #MadeinAmerica #H-Tiinnnneeeee

A photo posted by jharden13 (@jharden13) on

James took to Instagram to compliment Queen Bey saying: “Bey got too much swagger in that jersey!!” Beyonce donned a Houston Rockets jersey with his number on it customised as a swimsuit. 

We think Bey’s fans will be quick to point out that she could probably never have too much swagger but that is beside the point. Also important to note, Houston is Beyoncé's hometown. 

We wonder what Khloe would think about her new man and his appreciation for Bey herself. To be fair, Beyoncé is flawless, so you can’t blame him for sharing the love.

Celebrity make-up free selfies are taking centre stage at the moment as more and more Hollywood stars are going bare-faced for Instagram. 

Whether they are completely cosmetic-free, we don't know, but we have to say, most of them do look damn good. 

We look at the best of the best from some of the hottest stars; but let us just consider – are they real or fake? 

Beyoncé – Real

We figure Queen Bey is definitely make-up free in this one. 

 

Kylie Jenner – Fake

Well, apart from the fake eyelashes, plumped lips and HD brows – we think the rest of her face might be make-up free.

 

Miley Cyrus – Real

Miley is a wild one and clearly doesn't care if people see her with or without make-up – because from last weeks antics she clearly doesn't care if people see her with or without clothes. 

 

Rosie Huntington-Whitely and Kate Hudson – Real

These bare-faced beauties look so good, they might as well go without make-up to all their red carpet events. 

 

Cara Delevingne – Real

We all know Cara is probably the most low-maintenance model around so this selfie is certainly cosmetic-free. The rat is kind of creepy though. 

 

Georgia May-Jagger – Real

Not a scratch of face paint here! But there is a really cut puppy to make up for it!

 

Tyra Banks – Real

Tyra shows how it's done with the ultimate #WokeUpLikeThis selfie. It's good to see she has a sense of humour about it. 

 

Sofia Vergara – Undecided

She is very gorgeous but we can't help but think there's a little coverage here – or perhaps it's just a great IG filter. 

 

Gigi Hadid – Real

She's young and beautiful; why would she even need make-up?

 

Kim Kardashian – Fake

Same deal as Kylie. With her luscious lashes and plucked-to-the-core brows, we say she might she's in the middle of the #WokeUpLikeThis scale. 

 

Drew Barrymore – Real

We don't think we've seen Drew this fresh faced in a while; and she looks a lot younger without make-up too!

 

Lady Gaga – Real

She is a COMPLETELY different person. We think she even looks better without all the flashy war paint that she constantly wears!

 In case you missed it yesterday, Beyoncé turned 34-years old.

To honour Queen Bey on her special day, which many are advocating should be an international holiday, friends and family had a very unique way of wishing her happy birthday.

They got together and curated a very special Beyoncé themed playlist. Not to be outdone, Bey also released a previously unheard remix of Crazy In Love on Spotify.

The Beyoncé birthday playlist came with messages from those closest to the star, including Jay-Z and Blue Ivy, because of course, and a lot of them will probably make you emotional.

Such as Jay explaining why he chose Coldplay’s track Yellow:

“’Look at the stars, look how they shine for you’… It’s us in our own world, away from work and totally lost in love.”

Kelly Rowland chose What’s The 411? by Mary J. Blige because obviously that was one of their favourite tracks to sing together when they were younger.

Then comes Blue Ivy’s pick. Her selection came last because whoever was putting this list together knew that her contribution would be the ultimate mic drop:

"Mommy you sung this to me all the time! Happy Birthday, Mommy!”

What song is she talking about exactly? Part of this World, from The Little Mermaid.

Many other celebs, and members of the ultimate fan club the Beyhive, took to social media to wish the star a happy birthday. These included Taylor Swift, Lena Dunham and Michelle Obama, naturally.
