Cop a gander of Joe Jonas!

It may be wintertime, but the DNCE lead singer turns up the heat for GUESS‘ new promotional campaign.

Following in the footsteps of younger brother Nick Jonas, who cemented his pin-up status with a similarly racy campaign in his Calvin Klein‘s, the 27-year-old no doubt makes a bold beeline for those titillated by his sibling’s antics.

We really are in changing times; for years patriarchal society saw women objectified by (often fully clothed) men. Such is the climate today that men are doing the same for promotional gain. A lot can be said, but we’ll leave it at…interesting.

Welcome to the latest TGJ Roundtable!

Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!

Now, we give you a front row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ or ‘The Real’, TGJ editors – Sam, David, Rashad, and Joe – get real in a very candid way.

Today’s roundtable topic asks each anchor…

As the finger pointing between Mariah Carey‘s camp and Dick Clark Productions continues well over a week after her failed New Year’s Eve performance, the ‘Triumphant’ singer has finally been greeted with good news from the otherwise tragic incident.

Thanks to a week of ongoing publicity surrounding the showing – which was highlighted by “live” performances of Carey classics ‘We Belong Together,’ ‘Emotions,’ and her holiday album’s rendition of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ – the pop icon has soared on streaming outlets.  And, when we say “soared,” we mean skyrocketed!

Tuck in below for details:

LeToya Luckett serves up a slice of the cinematic in the video for new single ‘Back 2 Life.’

Written, directed, and produced by Michael Vaughn Hernandez (along with the singer), the clip sees the Destiny’s Child graduate flex her acting muscles. Apt, as she’s spent recent years racking up credits in shows such as ‘Single Ladies’ and most recently ‘Rosewood.’

Watch the dramatic visual, which is lifted from Luckett’s new album ‘Until Then,’ after the jump. Thomas Q. Jones co-stars…

The arguable Queen of Pop strikes a number of resonating poses in her feature spread, and pairs the pics with an equally engaging set of quotes. Particularly as pertains to ageism in media.
