Born and raised in New York’s Manhattan, Adrienne Bailon rose to fame as one third of Urban trio 3LW back in the year 2000.

The launching pad for a career which saw her join Disney’s ‘The Cheetah Girls‘, a recurring role in ‘That’s So Raven‘ and ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians‘ and a lucrative deal with Ne-Yo’s Compound Entertainment.

This year, she returned to television by way of hit series, ‘Empire Girls‘.

Airing on The Style Network, the reality TV series- which also stars media personality Julissa Bermudez– follows her as she readies her debut under Ne-Yo‘s leadership, and her day to day life as an entertainer.

So, as long time supporters of Ms. Bailon, it was our pleasure to meet with her last week for a truly insightful interview.

An interview, which saw her share exclusive details on her project, her relationship with The Kardashians, her Latin heritage… and her 3LW bandmates.

One could be forgiven for thinking that, much like the record-buying mass, Madonna had forgotten about her latest album ‘MDNA’.

However, it appears her Madgesty is making a bid to reverse the LP’s poor fortunes by shooting a video for fan-favourite ‘Turn Up The Radio’.

Still shooting as we type, the clip is being filmed in Italy – where the 53 year old is currently touring.

With stone cold silence greeting her recent efforts as of late, can ‘Turn Up The Radio’ make radio do just that? Take a listen to the cut and let us know below…

If you didn’t know who she was last year, you most certainly know who Rita Ora is now.

Rising to fame as a featured act on Craig David‘s 2008 re-release ‘Where’s Your Love‘, the starlet has gone onto become 2012’s fastest rising act, backed by the machine that is Jay Z’s Roc Nation.

Now, she has praised her mentor’s wife Beyonce, for juggling motherhood and her career all at the same time.

Chris Brown joined in the Father’s Day fun yesterday, celebrating the day with his dad Clinton Brown.

The R&B star, who is gearing up to release his new album ‘Fortune’ on July 3rd, posted the shot on his trusty Twitter account.

Your thoughts?

Here at That Grape Juice, we’re not just keen to spotlight new talent…but also to follow them on their journey.

Hence this edition of Freshly Squeezed features three faces we’ve introduced you to already – R&B powerhouse Luke James, sultry songstress Cleo Sol, and UK pin-up Angel.

As he puts the finishing touches to his hotly anticipated debut album, James keeps his buzz a’buzzing with the steamy video for ‘Mo’ Better Blues’ (a cut from his “pre-album” ‘#Luke’). Meanwhile, Cleo Sol glams it up in the visual for her summer sizzler ‘Never The Right Time’, as label-mate Angel debuts the video for ‘Wonderful’ – the lead single from his eagerly awaited LP.

All the goodies await after the jump…

We love us some Aubrey O’Day, yet can’t help but feel that she does herself no favours. At all.

With Celebrity Apprentice wrapped, the former Danity Kane doll is back on her media grind, yesterday serving as the guest host  at Rehab Sundays, a pool party at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Garnished in fake fan a plenty, the ‘Automatic’ singer was snapped her with puppies (and “puppies”) on full display.

Granted the “vixen” angle is Aubrey’s long-established playing card, it simply hasn’t been working for the longest. She’s entirely too talented to be perpetrating this “Barbie” wahala – which itself has been played out for years now. Like, how does she expect to be taken seriously?

Fingers crossed for an image overhaul ahead of another proper push at solo stardom. For her sake.

Your thoughts?

Last year saw Kelly Rowland break-out in a major way with the mega-smash that was ‘Motivation’. And in keeping her buzz a’buzzin’, the Destiny’s Child graduate is gearing up to unleash the first single from her 4th studio album…much sooner than you may think.

The audience at last night’s Lovebox Fest almost got a little more than bargained for, when Rita Ora nearly suffered an on stage wardrobe malfunction.

Taking to the Victoria Park stage to perform cuts from her debut LP ‘Ora’, the triple threat was seemingly unaware her ‘girls wanted to come out to play’, continuing on with her well received set.
