In commemoration of Michael Jackson‘s 62nd birthday, the singer’s estate teamed with Spike Lee to unleash a new version of the King of Pop’s ‘They Don’t Care About Us’ music video.

Timely, in light of the rifeness of social injustice, the refreshed version of the visual spotlights the Black Lives Matter movement and more.

A life long philanthropist and social activist, Jackson used his platform to propagate the need for equality. Hence, it’s fitting that said sentiments are being continued posthumously.

Speaking on the release, Lee (who directed the 1995 original) said:

“Great Protest Songs Can’t Get Old, Stale Or Nonrelevant Because The Struggle Still Continues. That’s Why THEY DON’T REALLY CARE ABOUT US IS The Anthem During This Chaotic, Pandemic World We Are All Living In. To Celebrate Michael Jackson’s Born Day, We Have Made The THEY DON’T REALLY CARE ABOUT US 2020 Short Film To Continue The Struggle For Equality For All. That’s The Truth, Ruth. Be Safe.”

The 2020 MTV Video Music Awards air tomorrow live from New York City.

With the global health crisis still being a reality, MTV has shifted from its traditional inside venue to an outside format.

This year’s show will focus on the strength of New York City with performances taking place all around the city with limited to no audience.

With the bleak quality of 2020 this year’s show needs an extra boost of life. How befitting it is that the network announced actress, singer and philanthropist Keke Palmer as this year’s host.

That Grape Juice‘s Chet Kincaid caught up Palmer ahead of the show and spoke with her new about new EP ‘Virgo Tendencies’ and the 2020 VMAs – in which she discussed her preparation for the big night as well as sharing an exclusive with us.

Masika Kalysha has one less gig to her name.

The ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ star came under fire when she took to social media faking a kidnap plot to promote her OnlyFans account. Yes, OnlyFans.

Sporting painted-on bruises, she informed distressed viewers she was in danger and had been “beat really bad.” She added that “they are coming back.” 

As it turns out, it was nothing but a cheap (and tacky) ploy to drive attention in the direction of her pay-per-view page.

According to Kalysha, the approach wasn’t rooted in selfishness. Quite the contrary.

For, she claims it was themed after ‘Double Crossed’ – the TV show she’s currently filming about human trafficking.

Understandably, producers for the series didn’t see the humor in her behavior and have pulled her from the show.

Now, she’s issued an apology.
