She’s the Pop icon boasting one of the greatest voices to grace the world of entertainment.

Unfortunately, by way of a personality that only seems to function when her accomplishments are being relayed to her by doting fans, Mariah Carey‘s arrival on FOX‘s ‘American Idol’ has been anything but triumphant.

Check out Christina Aguilera!

The superstar diva looked like a bag of money and good living as she arrived at the TIME 100 Gala in Los Angeles moments ago. As reported, the 32-year-old was named as one of the world’s Most Influential People by the respected publication.

Dazzling in a floor-length black gown, the ‘Your Body’ singer’s noticeably slimmer frame was the hot topic on the carpet and beyond. And while we’re primarily here for the music, it’s great to see Xtina looking BOTH happy and healthy. She’s literally beaming beauty.

Here’s hoping there’s new music being cooked up to pair with her rejuvenated image.

With fresh year comes fresh goals; and for Mary Mary star Erica Campbell “solo success” is one of hers.

Still going strong with sister Tina as part of the Grammy winning duo, Erica is stepping out alone for a solo side-project — the first single of which receives its exclusive online premiere on That Grape Juice.

Titled ‘A Little More Jesus’, the funky cut sees Campbell once again remind that Gospel needn’t be tedious nor tiresome. Instead, the track is full of flavour and fuses the best aspects of the genre with a contemporary kick.

Fans fearing a break-up should fret not. Reliable sources (as well as Campbell herself) confirm that Mary Mary are still very much a unit and are presently shooting season 3 of their hit WE tv reality show.

For now, though, take a listen to ‘A Little More Jesus’ below…

‘When I See You’ songstress Fantasia has seen herself aboard a media rollercoaster since the turn of the decade.

Indeed, kicking it off with her Grammy-award winning, 2010 top-seller ‘Back To Me’, the singer shortly thereafter found herself back atop headlines for a spectrum of a reasons – many of which, she tells That Grape Juice, nearly led her to walk away from the very platform that brought her fame.

Now, as her fourth album ‘Side Effects of You’ hit shelves today, Tasia talks exclusively about why it is her most personal to date (addressing those issues “head-on”), the future of her once-scheduled Mahalia Jackson biopic,  and so much more.

It all awaits below…
