Jennifer-lopez-that-grape-juice-aka-that-grape-juice-9

Yesterday evening, the ‘iHeartRadio Ultimate Pool Party’ was graced by none other than Jennifer Lopez, the stage blazing hit-maker whose performance made for an epic watch hours ago.

Introduced by Mariah Carey‘s husband Nick Cannon, Lopez fans in attendance were treated to an energetic showing with a set list which included ‘Same Girl’, ‘Get Right’ and ‘I’m Real.’

Oh…and a live vocal.

Yes, while never straying too far from her trusty pre-recorded vocals, Lopez did in fact pepper her performance with her actual voice, with said “pre-records” serving as a crutch for her live delivery.

How she looked and sounded?

Dive in!

Though she may not be everyone’s cup of tea, Rita Ora stands at the forefront of Pop’s gang of newcomers…at least to us.

For, after committing a few fails on the fashion front last eyar, this year has seen the starlet up her game on all fronts to deliver an aesthetic just as young, fresh and as exciting as she is.

Interestingly, fresh and exciting are also the words we’d use to describe her set at this year’s ‘VG-Lista Topp 20 Rådhusplassen 2014′, giving us no choice but to applaud whoever was tasked with handling choreography, styling and creative direction.

In need a Pop princess with substance and style?

omarosa-wendy-bethenny

Does Omarosa eat shade for breakfast? It certainly appears so.

The pastor, reality star, and teacher has, in recent years, made it routine to roast the hosts of the shows she visits.

Her most notable showings? Wendy Williams and Bethenny Frankel.

As many will recall, the first season of Williams’ daytime talker was defined by her infamous sparring match with the ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ star. Famed for her ability to cut even the toughest names down to size, Williams saw the table turned on her when Omarosa took her to task for claiming she’d “smooth her out”. What ensued thereafter was anything but smooth. Still, it helped cement Wendy’s foray into talk as the must-see it is today.

On the Bethenny front, her epic showdown with ol’ ‘Rosa last October may have been the final nail in the coffin for the now-axed show.

shakira-world-cup

For many, Shakira‘s ‘La La (Brazil 2014)’ has become “the” definitive song for the World Cup.

Indeed, despite Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, and Claudia Leitte‘s ‘We Are One’ being handed that honor in an official capacity, the lukewarm reaction to the track locally and globally has seen many embrace Shaki’s effort more.

As such, the masses will likely be elated to learn that the hip-swivelling singer has been tapped to perform the track at the World Cup Closing Ceremony.
