jack-falahee-out-thatgrapejuice

ABC’s ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ has become a TV phenomenon since blazing on to the box last Fall.

Beyond its captivating story-lines and the performances of its ensemble cast, it’s received ample praise for its edgier lean. Something largely attributable to Jack Falahee‘s character, Connor Walsh.

Subverting the expected portrayal of gay characters, Walsh’s racy antics has been the subject of ample debate – as has the network’s decision to air such scenes.

Unsurprisingly, the interest surrounding the Connor character has led to speculation about the orientation of Falahee himself.

Prior to now, the rising star has maintained an air of silence on the matter. However, he shattered it today with a piercing set of quotes in the latest issue of OUT Magazine – which he also covers.

His words below…

The net was set ablaze last night when news of Beyonce‘s alleged performance at this Sunday’s Grammy Awards was reported by Billboard.

Consistently coy these days, the singer has remained silent but has incited excitement with her presence in LA – the host city of the show.

There for the last three weeks, it’s increasingly seeming as though there has been a reason.

Madonna-Rebel-Heart-ThatGrapeJuice

Madonna has been deemed many things, but nothing rings truer these days than “trooper”.

The diva’s new album, ‘Rebel Heart’, has been plagued by a series of leaks since last Winter and, despite efforts to spin it in her favour, the singer was today rocked when the finished LP hit the net in its entirety — a month before its March 10th release date.

Billed as a “Super Deluxe” version, the 25-track set features mixed and mastered version of the previously leaked material, but this time includes all the announced features too.

Still, in pressing on, the 56-year-old has not only confirmed her performance at the BRIT Awards (which follows news that she’ll be rocking this Sunday’s Grammy’s too), she has released a sneak peek at the video for new single ‘Living For Love’.

We’re not sure anything will be enough to salvage the catastrophe that has been the campaign, but here’s hoping the video at the very least helps.

Peep the preview below…

Last night, viewers saw the Real Housewives Of Atlanta star fired from the show by Donald Trump after an epic showdown with Vivica Fox.

Clearly still pressed, Moore stopped by the Wendy Williams Show today and dug her claws into the ‘Kill Bill’ actress and her ‘Housewives’ co-star NeNe Leakes.

A forrest of shade is thrown after the jump…

10 million albums in the US. 190 million singles worldwide.

For Rihanna, the last decade might be described as a dream come true, rising from potential one hit wonder status in 2005 to heights some might argue are iconic, now considered competition by artists she once considered heroes.

Alas, as she gears up to release her eighth studio album, the entertainer finds herself forced to push a lead single some consider to be her weakest to date, doing all of nothing to spark interest in its parent album in the way a new Rihanna single should.

So, ever keen to keep to let you know what’s been on our minds, we’re dedicating this edition of That Grape Juice A&R to Riri’s eighth studio album!

In 1960, the author Harper Lee broke sensitive ground with the release of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’, the story of a black man falsely accused of a crime he did not commit.

In 2015, the author has revealed that she is to release the book’s sequel, doing so following the murders of African-American teenagers Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown, whose deaths have oft been linked to the book’s slamming of racism.
