Oprah Winfrey is making a return to the big screen!

The media mogul is set to star in new Lee Daniels movie ‘The Butler’ alongside Forest Whitaker and Terrence Howard.

Set for an October 18th release, the film is billed as a look at the life of Eugene Allen, who served eight presidents as the White House’s head butler from 1952 to 1986, and had a unique front-row seat as political and racial history was made.

Much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ segments, readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.  So in a quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday we introduced a new retrospective segment – ‘TGJ Replay’.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase albums (and eras) from a library of pop music hits.  While the masses bob their heads to her latest top-selling album 'The Truth About Love', we at TGJ want to revisit Pink's more rhythmic offerings – namely debut album 'Can't Take Me Home'… (more…)
