Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to celebrate TV and Film’s glorious past.

This week, as today’s generation of stars struggle to find conversational platforms to promote themselves and their material, we return to 1997 to revisit one of Janet Jackson‘s conversations with Oprah Winfrey on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show.’

Originally set up to discuss her project ‘The Velvet Rope’, the ladies’ interview soon saw them dig deep into Jackson’s personal struggles and insecurities.

One of them being her feeling that she was undeserving of the fame her older brother Michael had generated for her with his own Pop career.

By the end, Winfrey and her audience taught the then 31-year-old entertainer a life lesson we’re sure has remained with her since.

Some may have wondered how many drinks Grammy-winning singer Miguel had recently when he was spotted turning all the way up in the club, so much so he nearly came to blows with its owner.

Word has it Miggy was on hand to make a special appearance only, but the club owner says the ‘Coffee’ crooner had agreed to sing a hit or two.  The misunderstanding over those hits almost led to some other hits when, as seen in the video below, words exchanged were only seconds away from becoming fists exchanged.

See the drama unfold below:

birth-of-nation-thatgrapejuice-nate-parker

Earlier this year the critically acclaimed ‘Birth of a Nation,’ directed by and starring Nate Parker, was easily 2016’s most highly anticipated film.

However, this – the weekend of the film’s premiere – sees a whirlwind of bad press around him stemming from 17-year old rape allegations in conjunction with an actual whirlwind (see: Hurricane Matthew) keep moviegoers home from supporting the historical drama that tells the story of slave Nat Turner and his heroic revolt against the oppressive system.

Parker may have left the legal courts unscathed from the drama in his personal life, but it appears professionally he’s been guilty in the court of public opinion:

john-legend-top-10-itunes-thatgrapejuice-bruno-mars

Coming to the surprise of no one, Bruno Mars’ new single, ’24K Magic,’ has already sprung its magic on music lovers – a feat evidenced by his current tenure at the top of the iTunes USA charts (as of time reporting).

The retro/funk-inspired tune, which premiered last night, has been praised for being a sonic older sister to his signature hit ‘Uptown Funk.’  And, with a similarly funky Vegas-shot video – directed by Mars himself – we expect to see ‘Magic’ mirror the 2014 megahit’s success on the Billboard Hot 100.

But, as the ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’ star gets settled on the iTunes throne, he’s joined in the top 10 by John Legend and Lady Gaga – both of whom released singles this week.  Curious to see where they landed?
