Cop a gander of Rihanna!

The ‘Work’ wailer has shaken off the “bronchitis” that K-O’ed her Grammy Awards performance and is this evening in London for the 2016 BRIT Awards.

Ms. Fenty will be taking to the stage presumably to perform the song with Drake – who recently earned a #1 of his own.

Peep more pics below…

Rihanna wendy williams beyonce thatgrapejuice

‘Queen of All Media’ Wendy Williams reclaims her position atop Rihanna‘s #Navy hitlist after she lent a less than complimentary review of the Grammy winner’s latest #1 single ‘Work’ yesterday.

Working a few nerves in the process, Williams reignited another hot pettifog around Rih’s longevity – an argument, love or loathe her, she’s already silenced in action (see:  11 years of activity, 14 #1 hits, RIAA certifications, etc).  Yet, despite the singer’s storied musical resume, many – like Williams – incite fiery debates by often pitting her against her contemporaries.

Is the comparison fair?  Hear Wendy’s review below and tell us:

It’s safe to say that Beyonce‘s brand new pro-Black sound has’t gone unnoticed.

Billed as racist by some while celebrated by others, the singer’s new direction first saw the light of day by way of the cut ‘Formation’ which features a line about the billionaire Bill Gates.

Today he weighs in on her decision to throw his name into her creative mix…and what he said may surprise many.

adele justin bieber taylor thatgrapejuice the weeknd

Despite boasting its lowest ratings in recent history, one thing the Grammys usually assures its performers is a reignition of interest in their respective projects.  And, as headliners Taylor Swift, Adele, The Weeknd, and Justin Bieber can now attest, this year was no exception.

For, in addition to our previous report of Adele recapturing the top spot with her record-breaking album ’25,’ its predecessor – ’21’ – makes its way back to the top 25 over five years after its debut.  Other notable upward moves come via Bieber’s comeback album ‘Purpose,’ Swift’s never dying ‘1989,’ Weeknd’s breakout project ‘Beauty Behind the Madness,’ and Kendrick Lamar (the night’s most talked about performer) with his ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ LP.

Pushing aside last week’s success stories, ‘Love Song’ co-stars Rihanna and Future, find out where everybody landed on this week’s Billboard 200:

kesha thatgrapejuice dr luke 2016

Courtesy of Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Anne Hathaway, and a legion of fans and supporters, ‘Blow’ singer Ke$ha has been receiving a wealth of well-wishes following a devastating blow in court last week when her bid for release from her record contract with Dr. Luke and Sony Music was denied by a New York judge.

The lawsuit, which forms part of a bigger legal showdown that sees her allege sexual and mental abuse at the hands of the producer, has taken a number of turns since originally dominating headlines – the most recent coming thanks to a video from 2011 where the songstress swore under oath Luke had not drugged or abused her (seen after the jump).

While the mess only looks to get messier, fans have not ceased their outpouring of support for the embattled star.  A host of petitions, that have collectively amassed over 300,000 signatures, continue to gain attention from the media and Kesh alike.

Read her response to the love below:
