‘The Real Housewives of Dubai’ are back for season 2 and are bringing the heat.

Serving as the first international branch of the popular Housewives franchise to be commissioned by Bravo and air on the network in the US, the series fuses the trademark drama viewers have come to know and love from the shows with the unique setting and culture the ladies of the Middle East bring.

After an action-packed inaugural season, Chanel Ayan, Caroline Brooks, Dr. Sara Al Madani, Lesa Milan, and Caroline Stanbury return.

Newcomer Taleen Marie joins as a full-time cast member, replacing the departed Nina Ali.

With a June 2 premiere date set, watch the freshly unleashed first-look trailer below…

Here at That Grape Juice, we love all things ‘The Real Housewives…’

As such, when Hayu opened the doors to ‘The Real Housewives Townhouse’ in Central London, we were all sorts of buzzed to visit the immersive experience.

Toasting all things Housewives (including the upcoming premieres of the ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ and the ‘Real Housewives of Miami’), we sipped on Casamigos and took in the incredible first-of-its-kind activation.

The fun-filled experience is open to the public from October 26 to October 27.

Drew Sidora is sharing her reality on the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ but she’s not losing sight of her dream – music.

The singer/actress has made no secret of her desire to re-engage with her musical roots and is firing from all cylinders with her brand new single ‘Already Know.’

Produced by her now-estranged husband Ralph Pittman, the song sees Sidora serenade her lover and not hold back on the raciness either.

For the song’s accompanying video (which fans saw the making of on the latest episode of RHOA), Sidora is joined by the likes of co-stars Kenya Moore and Sanya Richards-Ross.

Be it for the good, bad, ugly, or downright shocking, 2022 was full of monumentally memorable moments!

Now, as the year draws to a close, That Grape Juice is reflecting on the occasions that rocked – and to some degree maybe even reshaped – the Urban and Pop cultural landscape as we know it.

First, we’re wiping tears over the TV shows we bid adieu before 2023.  Walk with us down memory lane:

Kandi Burruss is booked and busy!

From TV to music to producing on Broadway, the multihyphenate star does it all.

Next up on her plate is the hotly anticipated reality show featuring her group Xscape and fellow R&B trailblazers SWV. 

Set to premiere on Bravo next year, the series follows the ladies as they work on a joint show – while navigating internal band drama and collective clashes.

That Grape Juice‘s Shar Jossell was on-hand at the Ebony Power 100 and caught up with Kandi, who kept it candid and shared that the show was “harder to shoot than the Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

Your thoughts?

After years of silence, Britney Spears is taking control of her narrative and turning the volume up on her views.

Especially in the wake of ex-husband Kevin Federline and son Jayden James embarking on high-profile interviews about…her.

Indeed, as reported, Federline sat down with 60 Minutes while 15-year-old Jayden spoke with ITV News. The latter praised Spears’ father Jamie and claimed he was simply looking out for his daughter with the now-terminated conservatorship that governed her life for 13 years.

Now, in an emotional address on social media, the Pop royal lays bare her take on the reality of her family life – while directly addressing her sons.

Leaving no stone unturned, the ‘Overprotected’ singer told her teens: “you were just like my other family. You secretly loved looking at me as if something was wrong with me.”

Spears also stressed that she is now an atheist, saying: “I don’t believe in God anymore because of the way my children and my family have treated me. There is nothing to believe anymore.”

Echoing earlier sentiments expressed previously, the 40-year-old added: “my dad needs to be in jail for the rest of his life.”

‘The Real’ may have wrapped, but – in an odd turn of events – the departed daytime talker is nabbing more headlines in its absence than it did in the years leading up to its end.

And ironically, it’s due to the drama surrounding Amanda Seales – who only lasted for six months in her role of co-hosting the show in 2020.

While love and gratitude were the emotions flowing from most during the final episode of ‘The Real,’ one person with very different sentiments is Amanda Seales.

And she’s making her feelings known.

As some will recall, the multihyphenate served as a guest host on the daytime talker before eventually signing on as a full-time co-host. The latter was short-lived and Seales exited after less than six months in the permanent role.

Now, after being omitted from the finale montage, the 40-year-old has voiced her disapproval.

This week it was revealed that, after eight seasons on the air, ‘The Real’ has been canceled.

The confirmation of the Fox talk show’s end arrived on the heels of rampant speculation, which saw the news of its axing preempted to the point that some of the cast were forced to address the matter – seemingly before a firm decision had even been made.

With the fate of the series finalized, anchor Loni Love has opened up about the cancelation and shared insights into some of what was transpiring behind the scenes.

See what she had to say after the jump…
