We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming….
{So sad, I’ve always wanted to say that LOL}
OK, so it’s been a slow news day until maybe a few hours ago, which believe it or not has made for one boring a** day for me. In saying that, it freed me up to surf the net on a non-“must post this now” basis the first time a while. It also got me thinking about a host of random things. Check out my ramblings below:
* Does anyone else think Fantasia‘s performance (above) at the Patti Labelle tribute is one of the year’s best. Classic!
* Can someone, anyone, please clue me up on the latest on ‘Desperate Housewives’. I keep watching religiously and then going Cold-Turkey for no reason! Note: The last episode I watched saw Lynette’s son framed for ‘the fire’. What’s popped off between then and now?
* The comments I read on That Grape Juice crack me up on the daily (even the ones cussing me out)! I swear some of y’all need to be comedians lol
* I’m such a procrastinator. There are at least three things I should be doing instead of this at this exact moment! LOL
* I am legitimately intrigued at people’s stories of how they discovered That Grape Juice, no matter how basic such accounts may be (Google, another site, a friend…)
* This message on Facebook from a childhood friend who emigrated to the US made my day:
You know whats funny Sammy….Is that some of my friends over here were showing their other friends this website (yours) a while back…..and I was like…I know the creator! ( i felt so proud! lol)
* My Rihanna debates regularly extend into discussions with my friends (half of whom agree with me and the other half think Ms. Fenty is a “baaaad b**ch”!)
* I’m completely shocked at some of the messy comments thrown my way by a couple of fellow bloggers since v.2.0 launched (go figure – begins with a ‘J’ ends in a ‘Y’ LOL). If you’re wondering who I’m talking about, I’ll just say: a random Australian weed-smoker and another UK blogger who I really respected at one point.
* Is anyone else fascinated by the many different impressions people have of you? I’ve heard that I’m quiet, too loud, friendly, ‘stoosh’, an outright ‘bitch’. Things that make you go ‘hmmm’
* Super Mario Wii looks like ‘the business’. Got it? Is it any good?
* I miss Michael Jackson 🙁
* That Grape Juice’s Trent is probably the most hot-headed person I know. Boy do Caribbean’s have a tongue on them! LOL
* Blackberry or iPhone? (My BB is in repair…damn that trackball aka wackball!)
* Relationships; what’s your take on the concept of in every relationship there being ‘the lover’ and ‘the loved’?
BOY FANTASIA CAN SING !SOMEBODY GIVE HER THE GRAMMYS SHE DESERVES.FANTASIA HAS MORE TALENT THAN SOME OF THE FEMALES AT THE TOP AT THE MOMENT.
Sam, dismiss the haters! You do what you do because it’s great. I really don’t understand haters tho…why spend the energy instead of improving one’s self? Odd.
And OMG, you have to go to http://www.sidereel.com/Desperate_Housewives to catch up on desperate housewives. I think that episode was last season but alot of shiz has gone down. and it got crazier last night.
* I’m such a procrastinator. There are at least three things I should be doing instead of this exact the moment! LOL
THIS B**** THIS, while reading your piece i’m supposed to be studying for my french exam tommorow
but you know im hooked on the juice … 50 of the hits per day are mine
Sam, I discovered your blog long time ago while I was trying to download some song in m** format and you had it in here, so google sent me to your site. God I wish I remebered what song it was. Anyway since than I am checking it for updates daily. I saved it to my favorites on 14 June 2007, but I think I was it checking regulary even before than. In case you find it interesting as well I am 30 years old, interior architect from Poland lol
Lmao!!U are crazy

Yo Sam, u missed out on A LOT from DH…. i think the fire was in the last season, the 5th one… i suggest u skip the rest of the 5th season if u don’t have the time to watch because it SUCKED ass!!! but the 6th season so far is awesome!!!! the last episode was really crazy, and i actually thought MAN I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES EPIDOSE, which hasn’t happened in a long long time!!!
SPAM
Gawd, you are an idiot. Practice what you preach ~
SPAM
LMFAO I’m actually watching Desperate Housewives now..they won’t be airing it until next year on Channel 4 so i’m forced to watch it online…Basically…..ooh what happened…Evie dies..she gets electrocuted by a pole…Dave (the blonde baddie) kidnaps susan and her son and..erm yh in the end, Mike saves the day and Dave ends up in a psycho ward…Susan and Mike get married…there is a NEW freaky family with “dark secrets” and Lynette gets pregnant with twins LOL.
WOW@ all the haters already.
As @DurtyMo on Twitter says: Eat a Dyck!
At least Sam aint like Sandra Rose (LORD I detest that woman) who constantly slags off and puts down other bloggers and celebs on a DAILY. I don’t think he slags anyone off at all :S
personally grape, I have a problem with the number of times she says ‘huh’ or ‘ha!’ #preacherville other than that, she’s a wonderful singer/performer
SPAM
I found out about this site from Necole Bitchie which I also frequent on the regular. I think your Mariah v Whitney poll really got me coming here since Im a total LAMB I had to represent for my girl Mi Mi. Anywhoo, your Rihanna debates never fail to tickle me. Even though I’m in the group that thinks of her as a BAAAD BIATCH your comments have me rolling on many occasion. You also are quick to update whats going on and I appreciate that- keep up the good work!
I don’t understand– if people don’t like the blog, why do they still visit it and have time to put trashy comments?
Anyhow, does anyone know the Australian blog he’s talking about?
thanks.
I miss MJ too 🙁
I can’t remember how I happened across this site, but I discovered it a little more than a week ago and I love it. I SHOULD be studying for my finals but I can’t seem to stop procrastinating on your site. I’M BLAMING YOU IF I FLUNK OUT OF UNI!! (j/k, lol :p)Keep up the good work. I love your honesty (don’t let these Rihanna fanatics phase you, keep speaking truth, no matter what).
I have a blog myself (well, I’m a contributing blogger on a friend of mine’s website) and your website inspires me to want to start one of my own. Is it a lucrative career path?
I have one suggestion: perhaps you should interact with the community of commenters a bit more. Call out memorable posts, or perhaps participate in the comments section.
*thumbs up*
LMAO At You Reducing All Our Comments To ‘SPAM’
If You Didnt Feel Guilty You Wouldnt Have Done That.
Immature Geek.
OH MY GOD!! YESSS FANTASIA!! I’ve always been one of the biggest Fantasia supporters and this just proves why. This girl is nothing short of AMAZING. Did y’all see how MOVED Patti was?! Lawwdd, legends don’t get moved like that!!! She tore it DOWN!
I had just finished watching this video on utube and I come here and here it is!!!! I LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE IT IS AMAZING!
Sam
You’re a mess…at times :-). Keep doing you. Sometimes, you crack me up. I don’t totally agree with you on Rih, nor do I think she’s the ISH, performance wise. Your comments on her are something else :-); Nevertheless, they don’t seem to come from a negative place. That makes a difference. Anyway, it appears Rih’s trying from her last stint on SNL. I hope she continues to push herself.
I stumble upon TGJ through another blog. I don’t remember which one exactly. Eversince, I been lurking. Then, I start to leave some comments here and there. This version of TGJ is truly an upgrade Sam. Keep up the great work, and may more success come your way young man.
“Boy do Caribbean’s have a tongue on them!” Hey watch it son 🙂
digitalspy.co.uk uses the prophet as their source.. when have they used this b****** blog? NEVER!
i miss MJ too so much 🙁 To stevieefantastic all that ish u just described abiu desperate housewives has already aired on channel 4 this yr. so maybe ur behind. i stumbled upon this site last year i think when you had the full alicia keys interview that caused some controversy i think it may have been from necole bitchie. i do like the site although sometimes i do get at u sam lol i just thinks its too biased at times neway keep up the good work
F*** off jonathan with your hating ass:
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a172192/sugababes-hit-back-at-get-s***-critics.html
^^^ haha!
burnnnn
*deading*
I like how you interact with your readers, most bloggers dont even say anything to their readers, sometimes I curse you but its all love eh, Its just like I am in real life, when I think something is unfair (like I think some of your Rihanna posts are) I just get mad xD
I visit 4 blogs everyday (that grape juice, perez hilton, concrete loop and dlisted) this one is my 2nd favourite ( ya know nothing compares with MK, blogger of dlisted, true genius, love that guy)
I dont remember how i found this blog but it was a long time ago and I think you make a great job, keep up the good work
I’m glad my comment didn’t get turned into spam. :p
You’re trash, there’s a reason why you have so many haters that only visit that poop juice to HATE on your lame asses!
I don’t even remember how I discovered this site, but I’m sure glad I did. Keep doing your thing Sam, and f*** the haters! If they don’t like what you do, they have two options: a) make a blog of their own and make it bigger and better than yours so they can focus on their own s*** and leave you alone, or b) just visit a different blog altogether instead of continuously coming back here, aggravating themselves more and more with each visit.
Let’s be real though, none of that is going to happen. They’re gonna continue to come back and hate and be jealous because that’s what they do; they know nothing else. The haters are addicted more than those of us who support TGJ, and that’s a damn shame. But as long as it creates more traffic and hits…keep ’em coming, lol. The rest of us got your back, Sam, and that’s what matters most. 😀
Wow Sam!
Each and every time I try to reach out to you, I get no response. It has been two years now, I am not here by any means to put you down like other various sites have because I have always respected you.
I still work for the same two publications as I did over 3 years ago, and I still run the site over at “Real Talk With Simply Brown” , hoping you’ll add me to your blog roll, as I have you and we can be affiliates, don’t let a few people make it so you don’t trust any of us. A lot of us are professional and above the childish drama, hopefully you will respond and if not, this will be the last message I send to you,
You are such a wanker.
Why dont you p*** off and stop being such an immature little b****.
Toya will beat your ass anyday you little b****.
I love LOVE your rhianna dissing posts, I totally agree, she is definintely NOT the biz and its nice to know im not the only one that thinks so!! love it love it
my best friend introduced me to your blog and i fell in love with it.
LYM Sam!! I’m a total lamb so you probably understand why I get angry at some of your posts (I’m still convinced Mimi doesn’t lip synch lol). Nonetheless I absolutely love TGJ and check it out way too much. I can appreciate your love for music because I am absolutely obsessed with it. I learn a new word from this blog everyday (SMH, stoosh, shade, stan, etc). Anyways, keep up the good work.
Oh and how I found this site was through my brother who went to Ali’s blog and he had linked you on one of his posts. He really liked the site and told me about it (that was sometime in 2007) and I’ve been reading this website daily ever since.
Sam in secretly in love with Rihanna 😀 😀 😀
LMAO do your thing Sam ! Haters gonna hate anyway !
Those other bloggers are just hating because they’re jealous. They need to get over it – your site is hot.
Super Mario Wii is totally the business!!
YES FANTASIA WORK !!!! she is sooooooo awesum !!!!! YES YES YESSSSSS!!!
other people n bloggers r hating because u also hate on others especially rihanna. sam u might think that your been funny but u are really spreading negative energy thats why you are getting it back in your life. wat u put in life is wat u get. u never were like diz b4, i wounder wat happened, i use to really love dis site but now its nolonger my favourite
It seems like it hasn’t been all that long since i first visited your site. I think I was on another site and thought, you know what it’s really shite, so I went to links and this sounded the most fun, and so here I am. I find myself on this website every day when i’m supposed to be revisin for resits, I need to get out of Birmingham and go to uni!!! I am so happy though that I found this site, there’s nowhere else I would go.
In terms of Desperate Housewives (man are you behind) erm it was Dave who set the club on fire cus he killed his doctor there n tried to get rid of evidence. Dave is a (little) bit mental cus his wife and daughter died in the crash that Susan and Mike were in at start of season. Erm Carlos gets his sight back, don’t know if you’ve seen it yet, and basicly they get their money back when he gets a new job. Carlos’ neice cums to stay when her mum dies but Gabby hates her cus shes a bit of a b****/s****. Linette ends up pregnant, shock horror, with twins but takes a job from Carlos and doesn’t tell him. Right now they’re in legal conflict cause he wants her out of job but she don’t wanna go… Susan and Mike get back together and remarried, but Catherine, who was going out with Mike, gets denied and goes crazy because Mike don’t love her nmore. In last episode she shanked herself. Eddie gets electricuted and dies 🙁 Brand new family turns up and season started with Susan’s daughter getting strangled. That’s sort of what’s going on, tried (emphasised tried) to shorten it but would have probly been easier to watch it.
Think this post is getting a bit too big, but just wanna say one more thing. I was wondering if we could have a look at who it is who runs the site. Would like to see who I’m talking to really. Other than alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll that, jus wanna say thankyou for the site again and hope it continues to prosper well into the future!
HAHAHA LOOK AT THIS C*** DELETING COMMENTS COZ HE KNOWS IT’S THE TRUTH.
YOU’RE NAME SHOULD BE SPAM. YOU’RE AN UTTER C***. THE ONLY REASON YOU MADE THIS POST IS TO HATE ON TOYA.
ONE DAY YOU’RE GNA GET YOURS, SPAM. YOU THINK UR ON THE TOP OF THE WORLD NOW… WAIT TILL IT COMES CRASHING DOWN. I HOPE U LOSE ALL UR VISITORS AND UR SITE SHUTS DOWN.
