Flawless, meet perfect: Ed Sheeran has recruited Beyonce for a remix of his latest single.

Sheeran announced in an Instagram post today (November 30) that he and Bey will split singing duties on the "Perfect" remix, which will be available to fans at 7 PM EST. The track's original version, the fourth single from Sheeran's newest LP, officially dropped in September, and followed the massive successes of singles "Shape of You," "Castle on the Hill" and "Galway Girl."

"Bruh...am already crying at how beautiful this is going to sound," one follower wrote in Sheeran's Instagram comments, while another noted "HOLY S--- THE HEAVENS HAVE SPOKEN."

The "Perfect" remix isn't the first time Beyonce and Ed collaborated, back in 2015, they teamed up for a live "Drunk in Love" set at the 2015 Global Citizens Festival in New York City's Central Park. Sheeran had previously covered the track during live radio interviews with Ryan Seacrest and Elvis Duran.

Russell Simmons Leaving Def Jam, After More Sexual Misconduct Charges Surface

Russell Simmons is leaving his Def Jam empire as another woman comes forward claiming he raped her in the early '90s.

Jenny Lumet, who is a filmmaker and daughter of director Sidney Lumet, says the alleged incident happened when Simmons offered her a ride to her Manhattan apartment. But instead, she says Simmons locked the SUV doors and took her to his place, despite her repeatedly asking to be taken home.

She claims he first forced himself on her in his elevator, and then once inside his place ... he took her to the bedroom and raped her. Jenny told The Hollywood Reporter, "I made the trade in my mind. I thought, 'just keep him calm and you'll get home.' Maybe another person would have thought differently, or not made the trade.

Simmons says he has a different memory of that evening, but acknowledges Jenny's "feelings of fear and intimidation are real." He apologized saying he's "been thoughtless and insensitive in some of my relationships over many decades."
​
Model Keri Claussen Khalighi has also accused Simmons of raping her around the same time.

Frank Ocean Hinting On a Release of a New Album

Does Frank Ocean have a completed new album ready?  frank hinted as much when he posted a 13-word statement overnight on his Tumblr page: “I made the album before 30. I just aint put that bitch out!”, he explained the sentences as “quotes from an interview I haven’t given.”

Ocean turned 30 last month, so his comment suggests he’s got a new record ready to go. 

A new album shouldn’t be a shock, considering Ocean has shared a string of new works this year from “Chanel” to “Biking,” “Provider” and “Lens” and he guested on the Calvin Harris track “Slide.” Earlier this week, Ocean began offering physical copies of Endless on his blonded.co web store.
