‘The Blackening’ has landed in the UK.

Directed by Tim Story and co-written by Tracy Oliver (who helmed ‘Girls Trip’ and ‘Harlem’), the hysterical horror flick follows a group of Black friends who head out on a Juneteenth weekend getaway.

However, they quickly find themselves trapped in a remote cabin with a twisted killer. A chaotic game plays out…only for them to discover that much more than a game is at play.

Central to the edgy plot is the question: “If the entire cast of a horror movie is Black, who becomes the first victim?”

To celebrate the arrival of ‘The Blackening’ this week, That Grape Juice hosted an exclusive pre-release screening in Central London.

The event saw our guests become some of the first in the country to see the movie – which stars Grace Byers, Jermaine Fowler, Melvin Gregg, X Mayo, Dewayne Perkins, Antoinette Robertson, Sinqua Walls, Jay Pharoah, and Yvonne Orji.

Hosted by Jay McGregor, the event saw invitees take home a TGJ games-themed goodie bag that included must-haves from Aphro Sprits and HiP Chocolate.

Since making an almighty splash on the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ over a decade ago, Porsha Williams has been a firm favorite with fans of the hit Bravo show.

So much so that there have been constant calls for her to return to RHOA. Particularly given the polarizing response to the show’s current season.

In a new interview to promote her stint on ‘Stars on Mars,’ Williams addresses what it would take to see her hold a peach again.

As Jason Derulo fans count down to news about his next musical body of work, the singer-songwriter is whetting appetites with the racy new single ‘Body Count.’

The follow-up to the June-released ‘Glad U Came,’ ‘Body’ comes as an ode to being judgment-free and sees Jason emphasize to a love interest that he’s not the kind of guy that holds people’s sexual pasts against them.

“It’s amazing when two people are drawn to one another without preconceived notions or judgments,” Derulo said about the Pink Slip and Inverness-produced tune.  “Like the song says, ‘I don’t really care about your body count cause I just want to make that body count.’”

Internet personality Funky Dineva had Twitter in a funk after taking to the popular Fox Soul talk show ‘TGIF’ to discuss the rumored pregnancy of singer Halle Bailey, which turned into a verbal smackdown of her older sister Chloe Bailey.

During the heated discussion, Dineva said:

“I don’t like her. Chloe Bailey is so g-ddamn lame.

I’m probably going to catch a lot of backlash for this, but without that makeup she ain’t cute. She should’ve never showed up on that camera with that fat a** face without no makeup. She ain’t cute, [she’s] not believable, so g-ddamn inauthentic – that’s why your sh*t ain’t selling,”

Needless to say, the commentary set off a firestorm of clapbacks in defense of the ‘Have Mercy’ hitmaker. So much so, that it led the 40-year-old gossip blogger (born Quentin Latham) to issue a formal apology at the start of the talkshow’s latest episode.
