With a career as towering as Steve McQueen‘s, each new project brings with it ample expectation. And his latest effort, ‘Small Axe,’ has not disappointed.

Met with rapturous applause worldwide, the anthology series is comprised of five films – each of which share compelling stories of West Indian immigrants in London during the 1960s and 1970s.

To bring the stories to life, McQueen tapped a talented blend of names including John Boyega, Letitia Wright, Malachi Kirby, and Micheal Ward.

Praised for its raw, nuanced, and human storytelling, it’s made for a magnetic weekly watch on BBC One (and Amazon’s Prime Video in the US).

Ahead of the latest instalment, That Grape Juice‘s Jacqueline Shepherd sat down with McQueen (who created and directed ‘Axe’) to discuss his goals with the project and the future he hopes it inspires.

It may be the holidays, but Little Mix aren’t slowing down with the push for their new album ‘Confetti.’

Their latest stop was Strictly Come Dancing, where they belted out the LP’s lead single ‘Break Up Song.’

Given that the track originally premiered back in the Spring (at the onset of the global health crisis), the ladies weren’t afforded the opportunity the ability to perform it – as their campaign had progressed to follow-up offerings by the time the TV sphere returned to some semblance of normality.

Still, as the age old adage goes, good things come to those who wait. Because, the Pop ensemble finally delivered a televised live rendition.

With member Jesy recovering from illness, watch Perrie, Jade, and Leigh-Anne take vocal flight after the jump…

Snoop Dogg may have rapped some of Hip-Hop’s most provocative lyrics, but that hasn’t translated into support for Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion‘s smash hit single ‘WAP.’

An acronym for for “Wet A** P*ssy,” the racy track has been praised and critiqued. And it seems like the Rap veteran surprisingly aligns with the latter.

The 10th annual YouTube Streamy Awards rocked digital screens December 12 to recognize the year’s excellence in online video acting, producing, writing, and directing.

And while globally renown creators like David Dobrik, James Charles, Camila Loures, Tabitha Brown, and more were on hand to present and/or accept honors, the ceremony’s standout moments came courtesy of its live entertainment:  Doja Cat, Lewis Capaldi and Tones And I.

The former is quickly on her way to becoming an awards show darling of sorts as she’s rendered some of the year’s most memorable performances on platforms like the Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, and MTV EMAs – all this year alone. Now, she’s adding the Streamys to her collection!

Season 5 of the ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ has been an unmissable watch. So much so that many have billed it the show’s definitive break-out moment.

Candiace Dillard has been a key component of the show’s heightened profile and that trajectory looks set to continue in the wake of the explosive finale episode and upcoming three-part reunion.

Ahead of the latter, That Grape Juice‘s Patrick Buchanan caught up with the 33-year-old star.

Having dished on new BET movie ‘The Christmas Lottery,’ Dillard spilled on all things RHOP. And she did not hold back!

Indeed, a candid Candiace addressed the on-air fight with Monique Samuels and the season-long fall-out, which adversely affected her relationships with Karen Huger and Ashley Darby. 

She also opened up about the reunion and says that she’ll never film will Monique ever again.
