love-hip-hop-season-7

The ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ franchise continues to defy the odds.

Dismissed upon its debut as a momentary dose of ratchet, the show (in its many guises) has become a staple of VH1’s primetime programming.

It’s little wonder, then, why anticipation is high for the 7th season of its first incarnation – ‘Love & Hip-Hop: New York.’

Due to premiere Monday November 21st, the latest run of the Mona Scott Young hit welcomes back the likes of Remy Ma, Papoose, Cardi B, Peter Gunz, and Yandy Smith for a chapter of definite drama. Also in the mix this go round are rappers Cam’ron and Juelz Santana. 

To whet appetites, VH1 have uncaged a super-charged supertrailer. Check it out below…

grace-jones-that-grape-juice-2016-191919000

Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature launched to celebrate TV and Film’s glorious past.

Today, we honour the creative force that is Grace Jones. In recent years, the entertainment industry has often found its creativity stifled by tight budgets and the short attention spans of a Snapchat generation.

The price it’s paid for these problems?

The demise of the multi-hyphenate star.

Gliding through music, film, fashion and television, the multi-hyphenate acts of yesteryear came armed with the talent and skill the industry would employ to rake in cash at record stores, movie theatres and runways alike.

With this in mind, the Jamaican Jones undoubtedly stands as one of the best to do it.

So, in honour of her work, we revisit some of her career highlights via the clips waiting below…

The stunning shoot serves as one of the final looks the world see of the dynamic figure in her role before she vacates the White House in January.

With uncertain times ahead following Donald Trump‘s shock victory, we can at least be comforted (even if momentarily) remembering how phenomenal this woman is.

More snaps after the jump…
