Mariah Carey is leaving no stone unturned on the promotional run for her semi-surprise of a new album.

Due any moment now (or “late May”, depending on which member of the singer’s team one speaks to), the set has seen the diva cover a myriad of magazines and will see her kick off the Today Show Summer Concert Series – as reported earlier today.

The 44-year-old’s press run also included a phone interview with international outlet Papel Pop.

During the light-hearted chat,  Ms. Carey-Cannon was quizzed about her thoughts on Ariana Grande (who many deem the new…her), as well as Madonna, Beyonce, Lady GaGa, and more. Renown for her razor-sharp wit, and even sharper shade, what response did MC offer?

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to pay our respects to Rihanna‘s last shred of class.

Hanging by a thread by a thread for several years, today saw what many assumed a myth disappear…forever.

The frail trait was wiped out by the star’s thirst for attention a-front of ‘Lui’ magazine – a top-shelf French publication aimed at “excitable” men.

Despite the 26-year-old’s voice having the personality of a dial tone, we’d long held out hope that one-day/someday she’d try to earn respect by visiting one of the many vocal coaches we’ve recommended her. However, as it’s clear to see, it was not meant to be.

The role model, who is gearing up to star in children’s movie ‘Home’, quite literally bares all in the shoot – which we will NOT be posting here on That Grape Juice as we are FAMILY-friendly site.

Please offer your fondest memories of Rihanna’s class below…

With a new album due imminently, Mariah Carey is embracing the oldest trick in the book – stripping.

The premium diva, 44, showcases her assets a-front of Wonderland magazine’s May issue.

Shot by famed photographer Terry Richardson, the cover is the latest in a long line of promotional spots planned for the star’s 14th studio LP – the release date and strategy for which remains an unsolved mystery.

Are you feeling Mimi’s scantily clad look?

Your thoughts? 

It’s going to be a scorching hot summer for The Today Show.

Annually the AM hit serves up the best in live mini-concerts as part of their ‘Today Show Summer Concert Series’ and 2014 will be no different.

The show’s producers have announced the weekly line-up for this year’s instalment and let’s just say they’re bring out the big guns.

It’s “Girl Groups” week over at our friends at Billboard!

Based solely on chart performance on the Hot 100 (and adjusted to weigh changes in music such as digital downloads, streaming, etc.), the likes of Destiny’s Child, SWV, Spice Girls, and more duke it out for top ranking.  As expected, fan favorites like TLC and The Supremes dominate the tally with multiple entries, but there are many surprises along the way.

Dynamo diva Jennifer Lopez stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to plug her ever-growing list of endeavours.

Most notable, though, was the morsels of information the star revealed about her upcoming new album.

The set, which is preceded by buzz cut ‘Same Girl’ as well as singles ‘I Luh Ya Papi’ and the newly announced ‘First Love’, arrives on June 17th.

As such, with little over a month to go, attention has turned to what the LP (the singer’s tenth) has been christened.

It turns out, the American Idol judge is still deciding.

During her hilarious interview with Kimmel, the 44-year-old turned to the audience to help her sift through her current top title picks.

Flip the hood to see what J.Lo has in mind and to watch her dish on how her twins inspired her to record Diplo album track ‘Big Booty’.
