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

Today we stepped back in time and arrived in January 2001, the month and year the world was introduced to ‘Taina.’

Starring ‘Life with Mickey‘s Christina Vidal, the series followed the life of teenager Taina Morales, a student at the Manhattan School of the Performing Heights, who is determined to become a world renown superstar.

With the help of her best friend Renee Jones, the Latina musician juggles life, music, drama and culture as she navigates through life with her eyes on a platinum prize.

Before its cancellation the series pulled in ratings with guest appearances made by 3LW (who portrayed the group Blue Mascara), Kelly Rowland who played the controversial actress Nicole Burke who inspired what may be one of the strongest songs on the show’s Jive-backed soundtrack.

Ready to take that journey to the past?

2016 has already been a roller-coaster for Rihanna.

Indeed, the last two months have brought many a peak and trough for the fierce fashionista. From the botched roll-out of new album ‘ANTI,’ to the postponement of its, and of course a cancelled Grammy performance.

Still, things appear on the slight up following the chart-topping success of ‘Work (ft. Drake).’

Building on that momentum, the model features on the April 2016 cover of British Vogue.

We’re not sure about the rodeo-esque cover, but the shot below – which sees Rih sport her own Manolo Blahnik boots, is fire!

“Work,” released on Westbury Road/Roc Nation, holds atop the Hot 100 boosted by an 80 percent blast to 46.5 million U.S. streams in the tracking week ending Feb. 25, according to Nielsen Music, following the arrival of its official music video Feb. 22. Notably, the song sports 13.9 million Vevo on YouTube clicks for the week, up from 575,000 the prior frame. “Work” leads the Streaming Songs chart for a second week and tops the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart (18.1 million streams, up 19 percent) for a third frame.”
