Brandy made history when she starred as a princess in 1997’s “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” and now – nearly 25 years later – she’s slipped on a pair of royal slippers, crown, and gown again to assume the role as part of Disney’s ‘Ultimate Princess Celebration.’

Announced in late April (as we first reported here), B-Rocka’s contribution to the yearlong ode to Disney princesses came via the Oak Felder-produced song, ‘Starting Now’ (penned by Felder, Jason Mater, Jordan Powers, and Darren Criss).

After months of enjoying rave reviews for the tune, the 42-year-old has brought it to life via a magical music video that sees her take quite the journey to the past.

Kofi Siriboe may be one of Hollywood’s most promising heartthrobs, but – as reaffirmed by an exclusive chat with That Grape Juice – the ‘Queen Sugar’ star isn’t running low on his supply of substance.

At just 27-years-young, the model-turned-actor’s resume reads of impressive diversity – with roles in film and television that have seen his name listed on credits alongside the likes of  Queen Latifah, Ice Cube, Rutina Wesley, Tina Lifford, and many others.

In that same vein, the latest addition to his growing filmography, new Netflix movie ‘Really Love,’ sees Siriboe stand toe-to-toe with even more entertainment vets (i.e. Blair Underwood, Michael Ealy, Suzzanne Douglas, etc.) while also leading the charge to deliver a refreshingly honest, yet necessarily updated take on the Black Love trope.
