Nicole-Scherzinger-2015-ThatGrapeJuice

Nicole Scherzinger‘s latest album ‘Big Fat Lie’ may have been a truthful flop, yet the singer did find some success last year – in the London production of ‘Cats’.

In a new interview with Event Magazine, Scherzinger recounts more difficult times – specifically her battle with bulimia.

The candid conversation saw the star reveal that the illness caused a friction with her Pussycat Doll bandmates – a friction she’s keen to apologize for.

‘TGJ Replay’ is back!

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest retrospective segment to act as a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.  Next up?  Unsung R&B beau Elgin Baylor Lumpkin, better known as Ginuwine.

Get into his 1999 sophomore album ‘100% Ginuwine’ below:

With the piercing lens on civil rights seemingly at its height yet again some 50 years later, the release of ‘Selma’ – a film depicting the historic Martin Luther King Jr.-led voting-rights march from Selma, Alabama to the state capitol of Montgomery in 1965, couldn’t come at a more opportune time.

That Grape Juice was privy to an advanced screening of the Ava Duvernay film and now offer to you, courtesy of our resident editor Richard Pittman, a review of the movie that we can tell in earnest will be done a great disservice if not decorated with the award golds it so rightly deserves.

Both Rita Ora and Charli XCX enjoyed mega-success last year with their respective collaborations with Iggy Azalea.
