Oxygen’s breakout new reality hit ‘Preachers of L.A.’ may be a ratings winner for the network, but that has certainly come at the expense of unflattering reviews from critics and viewers alike.

To add to the drama surrounding the show, Pastor Deitrick Haddon (seen above) – who has battled rumors of infidelity over the past year which was reignited by alleged nude pics leaked this week – seemed most surprised by the show’s well-publicized slamming from fellow megapastor Bishop T.D. Jakes.

After hearing Jakes labelling of the show as “junk”, Haddon phoned into PRAISE 102.5 to respond:

“I have the absolute utmost respect for Bishop TD Jakes and what he represents. I considered him one of our generals in this generation,” he said.

“I was a bit taken back and shocked when I saw his view on the show, being that he’s a forefather in unorthodox, unconventional methods of sharing the Gospel, whether it be through MegaFest or partnering with comedians or Oprah.”

Portraying a real life character in a film probably comes with ease when half of your life has been played across T.V. screens.  Just ask Adrienne Bailon, she’ll tell you.

Depicting the life of “church girl” Vanessa Leon in the new faith-based movie “I’m In Love With A Church Girl” (in theaters October 18th), Bailon walks a well-scripted mile in someone else’s shoes for the feel-good film already winning rave reviews from critics.

We caught up with the singer/actress recently for an exclusive sitdown to dish on the new movie, working with rapper Ja Rule, the future of ‘The Real’ talk show, 3LW, and so much more.

As always, Miss Bailon keeps it all the way real.  Tuck in below to see the interview in its entirety:

All roads lead to November 4th for UK chart titan Tinie Tempah.

The rapper is set to unleash his hotly anticipated sophomore album on the day, marking almost three years since its multi-Platinum predecessor ‘Disc-Overy’ hit stores.

Having served up a taste of the LP with preceding (and contrasting) singles ‘Trampoline’ and ‘Children Of The Sun’, the South Londoner is giving fans a window-peek into what else they can expect from the project.

Boasting an All-Star cast of producers and features (including Diplo, Emeli Sande, Naughty Boy, 2 Chainz, and Paloma Faith), the project is easily poised to serve as one of the year’s most musically diverse.

That Grape Juice were lucky enough to hear the album earlier this month at an exclusive playback and feel the MC is onto a winner. Do you agree? Preview ‘Demonstration’ after the jump…
