Destiny’s Child stars Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams shone boisterously bright last night at ELLE’s Women In Hollywood gala.

The ladies, who have gone on to achieve successful solo careers since the group’s disbandment, showcased their sisterhood as they arrived together at the Los Angeles event.

Slaying as ever, the duo looked stunning and, once again, have us salivating for a DC3 reunion.

It appears that folk will have not a wait a while before any such regrouping takes place.

Kelly is hard at work on her fifth studio album, Michelle is getting entrepreneurial hustle on with Believe At Home, and Beyonce is still working her ‘Lemonade’LP and rumoured to be readying a joint effort with Jay Z.

For now, though, peep more pics below…

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!

Though comprised of seasoned writers who share a similar outlook on Urban Pop culture, the idiosyncrasies of the TGJ team members often lend for quite heated debates “behind the scenes” about the hottest topics.

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 sees us review…

It’s no secret that rap has had its share of high profile beefs over the years. From lyrical jabs on on baby mamas and kids to finances, girlfriends, and sexual tendencies, rappers usually leave no stone unturned when trying to “one-up” their opponents.

But, let Twitter tell it, the beef between Grammy winning rappers Drake and Kid Cudi may have seen the former take it a step too far when he dropped a line about the latter’s mental status.

Indeed, Cudi’s self-check in to a facility for help with ongoing issues with drugs and depression was highly publicized earlier this month.  The move was given a fresh douse of gasoline when Drizzy, via his recently unveiled song, ‘Two Birds, One Stone,’ took a jab at Cudi’s reportedly life-threatening condition.

Twitter was not pleased:

The decade long wait for an official LP from JoJo came to a close last week when the songstress unveiled ‘Mad Love’ – the first of (what we are hoping will be) many offerings on new label home Atlantic.

Featuring the likes of Remy Ma, Alessia Cara, and Wiz Khalifa [who guests on the set’s lead single ‘F**k Apologies’], the project – if the thumbs up from critics and fans alike is anything to judge by – was certainly worth the wait.

Now, those anxiously awaiting news about its official first week sales sum have finally seen their wait come to a close.  Check below for the reveal.

Many things are questionable in the music business, but Fantasia‘s anointing isn’t one of them.

The soulful songbird hatched new album ‘The Definition Of…’ earlier this year and, in doing so, added to her catalogue of critically acclaimed offerings.

A multi-dimensional project, the LP houses the roof-raising ‘I Made It’ featuring Gospel superstar Tye Tribbett.

Taking to the stage on BET‘s ‘Joyful Noise,’ the pair delivered a dynamite showing of the song.

Watch em rock out with a whole lot of soul after the jump…

Adele‘s latest live show is making beaucoup bucks overseas.

Epic news for the Sony star below…

Mary J. Blige is in the ‘Thick Of It’ with soon-to-be-ex-husband Kendu Issacs.

As reported, the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul filed for divorce from her manager-bae in August citing irreconcilable differences.

In the time since, headlines have been rife about the demands Issacs is making on the singer’s fortune. Specifically his colossal claims for spousal support.

Never one to hide her pain, MJB kicked off the European leg of her King & Queen Tour with Maxwell this week and actually incorporated the drama into her set’s opening.

Since the onset of Lady Gaga‘s career, comparisons to Madonna have been both plentiful and plaguing.

Matters weren’t helped when her Madgesty slammed the star for being “reductive” and taking the ‘Express Yourself’ a little too literally.

In the years since that 2012 jab, the Pop titans appeared to have mended fences – even posing for a picture together earlier this year.

Their respective fans, however, haven’t been so civil.

As such, when Gaga made a spirited plea for the comparisons to stop during a recent radio interview, some took it as a shade grenade. Especially when the singer cited her status as a songwriter as one of many key differentials.

Never one for silence, it appears Madonna has offered a subtle response.

Booking stages has never been a problem for Beyonce.

Indeed, as music’s most sought-after performer, her name validates any bill she’s on.

And according to new reports, the Grammy committee agree.
