When?

This is the question routinely thrown into the air during discussion about Rihanna‘s eighth studio album.

Initially due last year, the set has been marred by multiple delays, which the 26-year-old recently blamed on being a perfectionist (the hilarity).

But according to a new report by DJ Skee, ol’ RiRi could be pulling a rouse and readying a roll-out much sooner than thought.

Cheryl-Cole-Children-In-Need-ThatGrapeJuice

Cheryl Cole must have felt in a charitable mood tonight.

Because, after years of lip-syncing, she donated her live vocals to this evening’s ‘Children In Need’ broadcast.

The X Factor judge did away with the 8-counts and instead served up a stripped-back performance of the title track of her new album, ‘Only Human’.

How did she fare? Find out below….

Nicole Scherzinger is certainly a trier.

Undeterred by the blink-and-you-missed-it performance of her new album ‘Big Fat Lie’, the former Pussycat Doll is pressing on with ‘Run’ – the third single from the UK released LP.

Having journeyed to the UK to bake new album ‘The London Sessions’, singing superstar Mary J. Blige is bringing the British flare to stages across the States.

Fifth Harmony lived up to their name on Access Hollywood this week.

Normani, Dinah, Ally, Lauren, and Camila did away with the slick production on their performance of new single ‘Sledgehammer’ and instead served up an acoustic version of the track.

Here at TGJ, we have time aplenty for any act who can deliver dynamite vocals and work a stage. As such, 5H are after our hearts and coins – and are succeeding in the process.

Peep their performance below…

She did that!

And by “that”, we mean launch a brand new clothing line.

Tamar Braxton‘s aptly titled fashion range, the ‘Tamar Collection’, opened its digital doors today and surprisingly features more than the previously reported fan-apparel.

The singer, reality star, and TV host is selling branded dresses, shoes, skirts, jumpsuits, and more at as part of the line – which debuts ahead of her new studio album (due next year).

thatgrapejuice-destiny fulfilled

Welcome, once again, to TGJ Replay.

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest retrospective segment – a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.  As this week marks the 10th anniversary of the ultimate Destiny’s Child album ‘Destiny Fulfilled,’ we thought it only fitting to cater our latest foray down memory lane to one of the best-selling girl groups in history.

Get reacquainted with their final full length studio album below:

Fergie is back and blazing with hot new single ‘L.A. Love (La La)’. And it appears there’s more fire on the way from the Black Eyed Peas front-woman.

During a visit to Hot 97 today to promote the track and its newly released video, the singer revealed that she has teamed up with Hip-Hop superstar, Nicki Minaj.

With Danity Kane dissolved, the group’s members have dispersed and are pursing individual hustles.

However, as fans of the dynamite divas will remember, the ladies made it routine to make stage slayage look “easy…easy…easy”.

It was no surprise, then, that sassy track ‘All In A Day’s Work’ emerged as a favourite with the masses when debuted on tour.

However, in lieu of the departure of member Aundrea Fimbres in May, the version of the song featured on the trio’s final album ‘DK3’ (released last month) did not feature her vocals or her verse. Instead, Aubrey O’Day sole verse was repeated twice.

Interestingly, Fimbres’ version surfaced today. Take a listen below and let us know which you prefer!
