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 2017 AMAs brought with it a number of memorable moments, including the unveiling of the first full-length trailer for Ava DuVernay‘s ‘A Wrinkle In Time.’

A re-telling of the Sci-Fi fantasy by novelist by Madeleine L’Engle in 1963, the story centers on a young girl (played by Storm Reid) whose father, a government scientist, goes missing after working on a mysterious project.

She is guided by three celestial beings (played by Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, and Mindy Kaling) to find him.

Due in theaters in March 2018, an extended look at ‘A Wrinkle In Time’ awaits below…

Last night during the 2017 American Music Awards, Christina Aguilera‘s tribute to Whitney Houston drew polarizing response.

Yours truly loved it (and will elaborate on that during our TGJ Roundtable later), however some on social media did not.

So much so that they drew on facial reactions from the likes of Pink and Ciara to support said feelings.

Pink first spoke up and out against the claims and now CiCi is too.

See what she said below…

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:

Fresh from logging a career best debut with new album ‘Beautiful Trauma,’ Pop rebel Pink is powering on with the project’s next single – its title track.

Taking to social media, following her performance at the 2017 American Music Awards, the 38-year-old shared a preview of the track’s accompanying video.

Actor Channing Tatum joins the star in the clip, which serves as the official follow-up to Billboard top 20 ‘What About Us.’

Set to arrive in full on Tuesday (November 21st), a sneak peek awaits after the jump…

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:

Ciara‘s accidentally 1,2 stepped into a shady situation thanks to what’s been deemed a GIF-worthy response to Christina Aguilera‘s stirring tribute to Whitney Houston at this year’s American Music Awards.

The highly touted showing saw the belter give her best go at Houston’s challenging ‘Bodyguard’ classics ‘I’m Every Woman,’ ‘I Have Nothing,’ ‘Run To You,’ and more.  But, when Xtina took aim at the late pop icon’s signature hit, ‘I Will Always Love You,’ it appears she wasn’t exactly getting love from everyone in the audience (as evidenced by some perceived side-eyes from the likes of Cici and P!nk).

The infraction did not go unnoticed by Aguilera’s beloved fans, affectionately called #Fighters.  See their fiery responses inside:

Russell Simmons has vehemently denied claims that he and the creative Brett Ratner molested a teenage girl in 1991.

I completely and unequivocally deny the horrendous allegations of non-consensual sex against me with every fiber of my being.

However, his strong denial has been met with condemnation and confusion from the actor Terry Crews who- after vowing to support victims of sexual abuse following his own experience at a Hollywood party- has claimed Simmons worked hard to stop him from coming forward with his story.
