With ‘Boo’d Up’ still blazing the charts and follow-up ‘Trip’ strutting to similar success, the setup for Ella Mai‘s self-titled album is looking all sorts of lush.

But, as the set’s October 12th release draws near, the London bred star isn’t resting on her laurels.

Fresh from unlocking the LP’s tracklist, she has premiered one of its most anticipated tracks – Chris Brown collaboration ‘Whatchamacallit.’

Speaking on working with C. Breezy, Mai said:

 “Vocally, he’s amazing. If he didn’t come out the way he did and make the music that he did, I think I would be a completely different artist. He’s influenced an entire generation.”

Christina Aguilera‘s New York ‘Liberation Tour’ stop last night was a sold-out affair. Hence, the diva made sure to show up and show out at the Radio City Music Hall spectacle. And she did so with a little help from Lil Kim. 

The pair, who have collaborate a number of times of the years, delivered a dynamite showing of ‘Lady Marmalade.’

Brought out to a rapturous applause, surprise guest Kim blazed the stage.

Check out the must-see moment below…

Tiffany Haddish is on the hottest of hot streaks.

Last summer saw her ordained the definitive breakout star of comedy smash ‘Girls Trip’ and she’s not looked back since.

Indeed, in a mere year she’s earned an Emmy, wracked up a growing list of endorsements, and added several new titles to her filmography.

The latest is dark comedy ‘The Oath,’ which hits theatres on October 12th.

Haddish takes on the role of Kari, the wife of Chris – who is played by the film’s writer and director Ike Barinholtz.

Set against the backdrop of Thanksgiving in a politically split America, the movie chronicles a man’s struggles to make it through the holidays without destroying his own family.

Juxtaposed with the hilarity is the  number of tough topics and questions.

So, when That Grape Juice met with Haddish and Barinholtz it was only fitting that we left no stone unturned.

Chatting to our Patrick, the pair spilled on the film, hit back at critics (hello Katt Williams), and opened up about Colin Kaepernick’s Nike campaign.

Perhaps most notable, though, was the solving of the long-standing mystery surrounding #WhoBitBeyonce.

As viewers of the ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ know, Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore have often been at odds.

So deep rooted are their differences that, at one time, their drama took a violent turn.

However, they now share a unique reality – in that they are both pregnant with their first child.

For Williams, her journey will be chronicled on the upcoming season of RHOA. Moore’s, however, will not after she was booted from the show – reportedly as a result of marrying in secret and refusing to share much of her life with hubby Marc Daly.

Still, despite the divide, the pair were all smiles while photo’d together last night at the Growing Up Hip-Hop ATL premiere.

Glowing with their beautiful, the ladies were joined by fellow Housewives Cynthia Bailey and Eva Marcille.
