The model’s eighth album ‘ANTI’ has been marred by such messy roll-out that radio silence is the only thing that’s saved the fiasco from being bigger than it’s been.

Now, four months after unveiling a cover for an album that wasn’t even finished, Ms. Fenty has officially waved the final flag on the embattled LP.

In a bid to re-rev the hype machine, the 27-year-old took to Twitter moments ago to share the following…

The web is still buzzing over Lifetime’s ‘Unbreak My Heart’ – Toni Braxton‘s long-awaited biographical film that set Twitter alight when it aired Saturday night.

Recounting the ‘You’re Making Me High’ singer’s highest highs over her storied career (and well documented lows), the flick was a critical homerun and earned thumbs up from viewers, fans, and media alike.

No exception to the many who have lauded the production for its brazenness and willingness to share intimate details about the life of one of music’s most celebrated songstresses, That Grape Juice has compiled a list of 5 reasons why the movie was an absolute knockout!

In a mere matter of weeks, Coldplay and Beyonce will blaze the stage at the Super Bowl 50 Half-Time Show.

Fans have largely been left to speculate about what they can expect come February 7th. However, many assume the pair will naturally perform their new duet ‘Hymn For The Weekend,’ which appears on Coldplay’s recently released LP ‘A Head Full of Dreams.’ 

Such a stance was lent added value moments ago, after the Chris Martin fronted band made a special announcement on Facebook.

Toni Braxton earned praise aplenty for her recently aired Lifetime biopic, ‘Unbreak My Heart.’

Final ratings are due imminently, but in the court of public opinion – at least – the seven-time Grammy winner scored a unanimous victory.

By no means resting on the laurels of her name, the sultry songstress hit the promotional trail hard in support of the project – which she executive produced. One of her more notable stops was Shade 45’s Sway In The Morning.

Beyond dishing on the movie, Ms. Braxton also spilled on new music.

lady gaga 2016 pga awards thatgrapejuice

She may have earned some bad press for her awkward tardiness at the 2016 PGA Awards, but one thing ‘Bad Romance’ beauty Lady Gaga didn’t earn was a bad review for her heart-wrenching performance of ‘Til It Happens To You,’ the Academy Award-nominated theme song from the film ‘Hunting Ground.’

Co-penned with legendary songwriter Diane Warren, the tune – like the movie it supports – explores themes around the aftermath of sexual violence.  This, Gaga noted before her performance, hits close to home as her aunt was a victim of rape in college.

Tuck in below to hear the singer wail the chilling number like only she can:

Welcome to Retro Rewind, the new TGJ original feature that invites our readers on a journey to Entertainment’s glorious past.

As a powerful minority in Hollywood continue to deny the important of diversity on-screen, the brains behind the hit show ‘Dynasty’ learned just how lucrative it could be for ratings when they introduced to the African-American character Dominique Deveraux to the series in 1984.

Created by the writing duo Richard and Esther Shapiro, Dominique, portrayed by Diahann Carroll, stepped on to the scene as a secretive woman with a keen interest in the lives of the show’s leading family, the Carringtons.

Eager to slay in the face of the stereotypical, offensive and one dimensional roles often dished out for actors of colour, the Shapiros teamed up with Carroll to create a character just as complex as the show’s villain Alexis Carrington, played by Joan Collins.

The result? A moving story about a young African-American girl from modest beginnings who exposes the plight of biracial children rejected by a society and fathers infected by prejudice, classism and racism.

Watch below…
