Even without the aid of a video, or any live performances in the country, Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Starships‘ continues its ascent on the UK singles chart.

Indeed, after spending last week at #7, the track has risen by two spots this week- marking her highest ever chart position in the country and breaking yet another Female Rap record.

Despite being released on December 20th of last year, there are many who aren’t aware of Mya‘s new album ‘KISS’.

Renown for her many eccentricities, diva Mariah Carey is oft deemed as a living in a fantasy land. Hence, it was only apt that the singer and husband Nick Cannon posed it up with Micky and Minie Mouse when they hopped aboard Disney’s ‘Fantasy’ Cruise in New York yesterday.

The pair, who have been married for three years, left baby twins Monroe and Moroccan at  home, as they celebrated the completion of the 4000-capacity/14-deck masterpiece at the star-studded ceremony.

Many will remember 41 year old Carey’s hit of the same name which topped charts globally in 1995.

Any “festive” pic awaits after the jump…

As earlier reported, R&B diva Kelly Rowland took front-stage centre at Muhammad Ali’s 70th Birthday festivities in Las Vegas last month. There, the Destiny’s Child alum performed a rousing rendtition of Whitney Houston‘s ‘Greatest Love Of All’.

This week’s From The Vault pick  differ from previous editions, in that it comes in the form of a commercial. But not your typical commercial. No. Try the mother of all commercials.

Featuring an all-star cast of leading Pop megastars, we are talking Pepsi’s 2004 Gladiator campaign.

With such venture, Pepsi Co hit the nail on the head in more ways than one. Using a reworked version of the already immense ‘We Will Rock You’ by Rock outfit Queen, the commercial for many is Pop “nirvana”. In that it brought under the same arena four of modern times leading acts: Latin heartthrob Enrique Iglesias, Pop-royal Britney Spears, Rock-chick Pink, and of course Ms. Sasha Fierce herself Beyonce.

Journeying back to the Roman Empire, our three heroines join forces to take down General Caesar. Each of them are afforded ample time to shine; with Britney serving up sex-appeal in earnest, Beyonce displaying ‘Diva 101’ and Pink repping for the rock community with her trademark “power rasp”. Like the adorning audience, we ate this up!

From the faultless casting to the impeccable cinematography, the big-budget affair is a prime example of the force Pepsi the brand is and how it operates to stay relevant to its younger generation – after many a successful past campaign with the likes of Michael Jackson.

EPIC, quite literally!

Your thoughts?

Shortly after confirming her deal with ‘Grand Hustle‘, Aussie MC Iggy Azalea took to GoodFellaMedia for a truly insightful chit chat.

Speaking candidly on sexuality, her fallen habit of mimicking other acts and her love for 50 Cent, the interview also saw explain why signing to Interscope was a calculated risk.

Cop a gander of the Queen Bee Lil Kim!

The pint-sized femcee strikes a fierce pose in this newly released promotional shot.

And while her pink-haired foe serves as the face of MAC’s Viva La Glam, it seems Kim is channelling Viva La Photoshop, as that’s the only brush at work here.

Indeed, for all the shot’s “diva”, Kim hasn’t looked like this in at least 10 years (No shade / see: ‘La Bella Mafia’).

That said, we’re more concerned with the music here at That Grape Juice. Hence, we just hope her new material is more legit than the pic.

Speaking of new music, ol’ Kimmy is set to appear on BET’s 106 & Park next week to update the masses on her forthcoming album. Peep a preview of her showing below…
