You can never have a party with too much confetti.

Little Mix has returned with a video for their song ‘Confetti,’ which features Saweetie after they previously announced it this week.

On the track, she raps:

“So my girl hit me up about a f***-boy dude / I said ‘hold on, hold on, what he said he did to you’? / Caught him sending d*** pics and a couple of nudes / Shit, we could chop it off and I’ma body this dude.“

‘Confetti’ is the title track from the group’s sixth album of the same name (stream it here) and follows the smash ‘Sweet Melody.’

The visual, which sees the ladies make a transformation, features cameos from ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’ favorites Tayce, A’Whora, and Bimini Bon Boulash.

While some would argue that looking back doesn’t assist in moving forward, we here at That Grape Juice somewhat believe otherwise when it comes to the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta.’

With the current installment of the Bravo show at its climax, attention is quickly turning to season 14 – especially amid murmurs of a cast shake-up.

Head below to see who we’d love to see back in the RHOA mix…

As evidenced by its short stay on the Billboard 200, August Alsina fans weren’t all that crazy about his long-awaited third studio album, ‘State of Emergency’ (2020), or the Jada Pinkett-Smith “entanglement” drama that preceded its release.

Yet, a recent announcement from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) suggests they are still in love with offerings from his debut studio effort (2014’s ‘Testimony’) – namely the hits ‘I Luv This Sh*t’ and ‘No Love.’

Contemporarily, commercial comebacks don’t come any bigger than Mariah Carey‘s seismic return to chart dominance with ‘The Emancipation of Mimi.’

A legendary body of work that is now celebrating its sweet 16th anniversary.

Prior to its release on April 12 2005, the diva’s career was on uncertain terrain.

The underperformance of 2001’s ‘Glitter’ (which has become a legend in and of itself) effectively KO’d the star’s colossal Virgin Records deal; and then 2002 follow-up ‘Charmbracelet’ (her first release for Island Def Jam) did not deliver commercially either — despite favorable reviews and her omnipresence on the media promo trail.

Fortunately for the songbird, the latter LP – her first to be shepherded by LA Reid – would prove to be the calm before the showstopping storm.

For, following the one-two punch thrown by ‘Emancipation’s preceding singles ‘It’s Like That’ and ‘We Belong Together,’ Carey would go on to light the match on one of the hottest streaks of her iconic career. Unquestionably, the album saw her blaze her way to the top of the Pop cultural landscape once again.

With ‘Mimi,’ the star earned her 16th and 17th #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, was certified 6x Platinum in the US (pure sales), and sold over 12 million copies of the album worldwide. For many, the era served as a millennial mirroring of Tina Turner’s’ ‘Private Dancer.’ And arguably such a comeback story and level of success that has yet to be seen since.

In salute of the set’s 16th anniversary, That Grape Juice has tallied our top tracks from ‘The Emancipation Of Mimi.’

U got it bad took on new meaning for Usher Monday (April 12) after news surfaced alleging he paid Las Vegas strippers for their services with counterfeit money that featured his face printed on it.

Using the viral hashtag #Ushbucks, Twitter users had a field day ridiculing the GRAMMY winner for the report – which was later dispelled by the club owner and the exotic dancer who caused the hoopla (as we reported here).

Despite her backtracking on the “joke,” some commenters continued to run with the incorrect story – including Danity Kane star Aubrey O’Day who made headlines for her criticism.

Demi Lovato is baring her soul and facing her demons.

From detailing her near-fatal 2018 drug overdose to revealing she is a survivor of sexual assault, the GRAMMY-nominated diva left few personal stones unturned during the promotional period for her latest album, ‘Dancing with the Devil…The Art of Starting Over’ (which was released April 2).

Now – after taking to ‘Good Morning America’ to stun fans with the graphic preview to the accompanying visual for the LP’s title track – Lovato has unveiled a full look at the clip.

A self-directed affair (with a little help from Michael D. Ratner – the director who also helmed her recent tell-all documentary), the gripping music video recreates the hospitalization that followed her overdose and even encourages viewers who are or know sexual assault survivors to take action toward healing.

Sharon Osbourne‘s 11-year stint on ‘The Talk’ has come to an end.

The media maven had been under fire for her conduct on the March 10 edition of the daytime show – so much so that she was subject to a CBS investigation.

Osbourne fell foul of favor after a shocking eruption during a race debate with Sheryl Underwood after her support of Piers Morgan‘s widely-condemned comments about Meghan Markle.

All, it seems, has led to her exit from the show.
