Word has it Kelly Rowland is gearing up to unleash new music and visuals imminently.

Still, she took time away from her many ventures to attend the Essence Black Women In Hollywood gala last night in Los Angeles.

Looking lush, Ms. Kelly turned heads for all the right reasons and will no doubt be aiming to do the same with her new material. We’re hearing it’s EPIC.

For now, though, gander more gorgeous snaps after the jump….

Readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.

So, just as our retrospective features ‘From the Vault’ and ‘TGJ Replay’ allow us the chance to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday of one artist, our newest feature Chart Rewind – a variation of our current Retro Rewind assay – accedes salutes to an entire era of music history.

This week, we wanna take you back to ‘Wannabe’ – the debut single from history-making Brit girlband Spice Girls.  After making a splash on the U.K. side of the pond in late 1996, the single was sent to test the waters in the U.S. at the top of the following year.  History would show the girls passed the test with flying colors.

Ending the extensive reign of Toni Braxton‘s ‘Unbreak My Heart,’ the funky song shot to the Hot 100’s top spot after only 5 weeks.  Lodged there for the 4 weeks that followed, ‘Wannabe’ may have catapulted the quintet into the pop stratosphere, but interestingly it would be their first and last time occupying the chart’s top slot.

Currently touted as one of the best-selling singles of all time by any female group, the pop cult classic also remains their signature tune.  Take a listen after the jump and see what other familiar faces you remember from the top 25 this week in 1997… (more…)

…and the claws are out!

In what appears to be another episode of “Somebody Pissed in Elton John‘s Cereal,” the piano-tickling legend wasn’t exactly in a laughing mood when quizzed on his thoughts on one of music’s most celebrated stageblazers – Janet Jackson.

Slamming the songstress with claims of lip-syncing, similar to those he hurled at her fellow pop queen Madonna years ago, John went all the way in and off on Jackson in his recent sit down with Rolling Stone magazine.

The reports already have JanFans in a furor, many of whom have taken to Twitter to speak out against the ever-outspoken ‘Tiny Dancer’ divo.  Did you miss any of the action?  It awaits below:

The budding diva has confirmed the title, which she has been teasing all week, as the follow-up to 2014’s ‘My Everything.’

Much to the delight of her “Arianators,’ the starlet also had more news.

Just when it seemed ‘Single Ladies’ singer Beyonce would be left alone to find (and fund) security efforts for her forthcoming ‘Formation’ stadium tour, a few US cities are standing up for the Grammy winner, vowing to provide detail when the trek visits their respective locations.

While Tampa, FL was first to make headlines when their police department took to Twitter to slam rumors of their intent to boycott, it appears Raleigh, NC and Arlington, TX are now in agreement with the decision.  They join a number of police officials – especially black police unions – who are calling out boycotters for discriminatory behavior.

Some may argue Rihanna will never be a legend, but at the rate she’s meeting or surpassing the records of her legendary predecessors, the history books will argue otherwise.

For, despite shortcomings on the Billboard 200 side of charts, her 11 year career has seen her equal or eclipse many-a-Hot 100 record of pop music’s royalty (Whitney Houston, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, etc).  In fact, those who need a refresher should traipse with us down memory lane for a few highlights:

2010s

As of time reporting, Rihanna is the only female artist of color to top Hot 100 this decade

2011 

Rihanna outraces Madonna for most top 10 singles amassed in shortest period of time

2013

Rihanna surpasses Whitney Houston‘s Hot 100 top 10 record

2016

Rihanna ties Janet Jackson & Mariah Carey‘s top 10 record

Now, it appears the ‘Diamonds’ diva has her sights set on the Hot 100 crowns of King of Pop Michael Jackson.  With the ascension of her (not Drake‘s) latest tune ‘Work’ to the tally’s perch, the songbird is just one #1 hit away from breaking two of his prized records.

Christina Aguilera is sharing her gift with the world…online.

Yes, the ‘Marmalade’ spreading diva has teamed up with good people over at ‘Masterclass‘ to deliver an online vocal lesson for aspiring singers which sees her reveal the tricks behind her Grammy winning trade.

I met the people involved and I really felt confident that this is such a positive and great thing to do to allow people to have access to. It’s a class or courses being taught by the greats in what they do, in the fields they’ve been successful in. Allowing yourself the time to explore your passion is amazing. And at a great price. My experience with The Voice has also helped lead me to this place.

We’re sold.

Are you?
