Fergie‘s long-awaited sophomore album, ‘Double Dutchess,’ may have quickly double-dutched all the way to the bottom of the Billboard 200 earlier this year, but that hasn’t stopped the songstress from persevering on the promo trail in its support.

Just a day after setting the 102.7 Holiday Jam concert stage alight with a collection of her hits and some gems featured on her latest opus, Fergie Ferg took over to ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ to give fans another live taste of ‘A Little Work.’

As if that wasn’t enough, she was also spotted on Taraji P. Henson‘s ‘White Hot Holidays’ special (on a performance roster that featured the likes of Ciara, Chaka Khan, and many more) belting out the festive classic ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ with help from ‘Empire’ star Jussie Smollett.

Keen to see how she fared at these events?  It’s inside:

Welcome to the latest TGJ Roundtable!

Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!

Though comprised of seasoned writers who share a similar outlook on Urban Pop culture, the idiosyncrasies of the TGJ team members often lend for quite heated debates “behind the scenes” about the hottest topics.

Now, we give you a front row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ or ‘The Real’, TGJ editors – Sam, David, Rashad, and Joe – get real in a very candid way.

Today’s roundtable topic asks each anchor their thoughts on the…

The American Music Awards 2017 were held earlier tonight live at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California.

The Tracee Ellis-Ross hosted ceremony had many-a-highlight thanks to jaw-dropping performances from the likes of Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, Diana Ross, Pink, and many more, but the biggest star of the show – as expected – remained the awards themselves.

Curious to know who took home the coveted diamond trophies? Head below as we update the list of winners:

Those who think the beef between Christina Aguilera and P!nk (born Alecia Moore) has been reheated after tonight’s American Music Awards are sadly mistaken let the latter tell it.

As is currently trending, while Aguilera’s stirring ‘Bodyguard’ tribute to late pop icon Whitney Houston has been getting mixed reactions across the net, it’s been P!nk’s facial expressions (in responses to certain parts of the performance) that’s been turning into the night’s most GIF and meme-worthy moment.

After garnering some serious heat from the ‘Dirrty’ singer’s fans (as we highlighted here), Moore took to Twitter to clear up the confusion.  See it inside:

Serena Williams said “I do” this week!

The tennis icon wed longtime beau Alex Ohanian in an elaborate ceremony in New Orleans this Thursday – and now pics have surfaced!

Also in attendance was her newborn daughter Alexis Olympia, who she and her Reddit founder hubby welcomed in September.

Interestingly, the nuptials took place on the birthday of Ohanian’s beloved mother Anke, who passed away nine years ago.

#AMAsAreOverParty continues to trend as women flock to Twitter to voice their disapproval of the male-centric American Music Awards’ nominations for this year’s telecast, unveiled today by R&B songstress Ciara (click here to read more on that).

Slammed by some social media users as the “American Misogyny Awards” or “American Men Awards,” the show – which sees females largely absent from its roster of nods for the 2017 edition – is under fire for the underrepresentation.  While fans of Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Ed Sheeran are celebrating their faves’ leading the nomination tally for the annual awards ceremony (set to air November 19th), supporters of Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, and Taylor Swift are crying foul:

It’s that time of year again!

And folk need not wonder anymore, because the full list has just been unveiled by R&B siren Ciara.

Although the noughties (2000-2009) boasted of chart-topping hits from the likes of Mariah Carey, Aaliyah, Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Shakira, Alicia Keys, Fantasia, Ciara, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez, Ashanti, and more, as of last week Rihanna was the only woman of color to see her name printed in the top slot of the Billboard Hot 100 this decade.

Nabbing four of those entries in one year (2010), the 8x Grammy-winner sprinkled chart-toppers across the six years that followed by her lonesome and alongside top-selling rappers Eminem, Drake, T.I., and more.  Now, with the ascent of rapstress Cardi B’s breakout hit, ‘Bodak Yellow,’ Rih can finally enjoy some company.

As we reported here, B – thanks to a surge of support from fans via digital downloads, streams, and radio play – unseated Taylor Swift‘s blockbuster hit, ‘Look What You Made Me Do,’ to become this week’s chart champion.  The money move not only made her the first female rapper this century to top the Hot 100 without a feature act, but also comes with a host of other achievements including becoming the second woman of color this decade to occupy the chart’s summit.

As unlikely pairing go, few are more random than Cher and Future.

One is a legendary Pop diva and the other is a hard-edged Rap maestro.
