2022 has already proven that Snoop Dogg is easily one of the busiest men in show business.

Kicking off the year as part of a historic, Hip Hop-heavy ensemble at the Super Bowl, the legendary rapper went on to announce he would be sharing hosting duties with Kelly Clarkson for NBC’s ‘American Song Contest.’

Now, Dogg is joining forces with Peacock for the new original series ‘So Dumb It’s Criminal.’

Executive produced by the 50-year-old himself, the eight-episode series calls on some of the world’s funniest comedians to weigh in on the stupidity of “the world’s dumbest criminals” and the compilation of real-life surveillance and cell phone-captured videos that landed them in trouble.

‘Vogue,’ ‘Capital FM,’ ‘ET,’ ‘Kelly Clarkson Show,’ ‘The Tonight Show,’ and ‘Access Hollywood’ are just a few of the many stops on Camila Cabello‘s promo express in support of her April 8-released third album, ‘Familia.’

Leaving few stones unturned over the last two weeks in her quest for yet another top 10 placement on the Billboard 200, the GRAMMY nominee’s whirlwind press tour has seen her field questions about everything from the album’s content to her highly publicized breakup with Shawn Mendes, former group Fifth Harmony, and much more.

One pesky topic that managed to slip into one of the conversations is the “infamous nip slip” – an on-air wardrobe malfunction that happened while Cabello was showing off dance moves on BBC‘s ‘The One Show’ in March.

Look inside to see Camila’s casual and cool response to the subject.

In an ever-changing world, convergence has emerged as one of the central engines powering the entertainment landscape. Indeed, more than ever before, combination offerings are taking center stage as some of the globe’s leading entities champion the fusion of multiple mediums for a maximized experience.

At FIVE Palm Jumeirah, there is a magnetic synergy between music, partying, and creating unforgettable memories by way of these pillars.

That Grape Juice visited the stunning Dubai hotspot FIVE Palm Jumeirah recently and witnessed the magic in motion. From the buoyant bliss of BLING Sundays (which serves up the best in sizzling Hip-Hop & R&B) to the one-of-a-kind beach festival Bohemia (which serves up melodic House all day long), to techno and house music-infused nights during Skyline Thursdays at The Penthouse, music is unquestionably the nucleus of the operation.

Mobilizing this is the aptly titled FIVE Music, which encompasses a record label and various live components to connect those from different walks of life from all around the globe. Indeed, as the age-old adage goes: music is a universal language. And FIVE is most definitely fluent.

We sat down with Sam Starks, Music Director and Resident DJ of FIVE Hotels and Resorts, who opened up about the world-renowned venue and his own journey too.
