41-year-old Toni Braxton unveiled a very glamorous album cover for her sixth studio album, titled ‘Pulse‘. The much-delayed album is expected May 4th and will be supported by singles ‘Hands Tied‘ and ‘Make My Heart‘.

It's the new and improved Sophie Ellis Bextor

Sophie Ellis Bextor’s new single ‘Bittersweet‘ premiered on Gaydar Radio last night, and it’s an even bigger rave tune than ‘Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)‘. We’re not quite sure of this is the original or the Freemasons remix, but then again they produced the original track, so it can’t be radically different.

We wouldn’t normally post lots of stills in the run up to a video premiere, but this is Lady GaGa and Beyonce we’re talking about, so get excited!

Here are yet some more stills from GaGa’s ‘Telephone‘, which premieres Thursday at 11.30pm East Coast time on E! and Vevo. (That’s Friday 4.30am UK time, little monsters.)

Lady GaGa revealed that the video for ‘Telephone’ picks up from where ‘Paparazzi’ left off, but will surpass its predecessor. Let’s remind ourselves what happend in Paparazzi, shall we?

WAPS' roving reporter Erin McQuinn

On Friday night we followed Dalston’s cool kids to Wah Nails for the first playback of Uffie’s debut album ‘Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans‘.

22-year old Uff made her name on the French electro scene back in 2005, though the intervening years have seen her sound grow to encompass a chic 80’s influence (most notably on her fab Siouxsie Sioux cover.)

We got our nails did as the open bar flowed, and a good time was had by all. Well done, Uffie.

Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans is slated for a Spring 2010 release.
