Just because he claims to have invented sex doesn’t mean Trey Songz has any more luck in the dating field than the rest of us.  So, to remedy the issue, Songz has teamed with VH1 to find his perfect match via a new dating show titled ‘Tremaine the Playboy.’

Inviting 17 ladies to compete for his heart, the web series – hosted by Draya Michele and Steelo Brim – is set for premiere this year at www.tremainetheplayboy.com!  And, while we wait for more news on the show, VH1 has unveiled its official trailer for your viewing pleasure.

The late 2016 death of pop star George Michael came as not only a shock to music lovers worldwide, but also another low light for a year filled with the losses of some of the entertainment genre’s most memorable & game changing figures (see:  David Bowie, Prince, etc.).

Now, to the pleasure of the ‘Faith’ singer’s fans, the Recording Academy has announced Michael and Prince are to be the recipients of a full on tribute to their groundbreaking and enduring achievements. And, while 2016 saw a number of unforgettable performances in homage of The Purple One, we at That Grape Juice are hoping the performers selected for Michael’s memorial are equally as talented and appropriate.

A multi-talented singer, songwriter, composer, and instrumentalist, George’s career spanned over 30 years and birthed a number of chart-topping hits with group Wham! (‘Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,’ ‘Careless Whisper’) before striking out solo (‘Faith,’ ‘Father Figure,’ ‘Freedom,’ etc.).  The first white artist to top the R&B charts, Michael’s interpolation of jazz, gospel, and other rhythmic formats into his pop sound was by no means unheard of for the day, but it was definitely one of the more authentic attempts to do so among his counterparts.

As such, we’ve formatted a list of artists across all genres who we think would give him a Grammy tribute worthy of his legacy.  Get into our list below and weigh in:

2017 is shaping up to be a good year for a certain Kelly Rowland.

Fresh from a thumbs-up worthy performance in Lifetime’s “dramedy” ‘Love by the 10th Date’ alongside Meagan Good, Keri Hilson, and more), Rowland has her sights on finally putting the finishing touches on the follow-up to her 4th solo album, ‘Talk A Good Game’ (much to fan delight).  Add to this plans on releasing a book in March (read more on that by clicking here) and continuing to prep her ‘Chasing Destiny’ winners June’s Diary for the release of their official LP, we’d say the year will have the diva pretty busy…and we ain’t mad at it.

Taking to Essence! Live recently, Rowland dished on all of these topics and even gave an interesting answer when quizzed on her thoughts about a Destiny’s Child biopic.  Did you miss it? Get into her thoughts inside:

After a temporary dethronement by rap group Migos‘ viral hit ‘Bad & Boujee’ (read more about that by clicking here), Ed Sheeran‘s ‘Shape Of You’ has returned to the top of the Hot 100 this week.

Reigning atop the tally for the second non-consecutive week since its debut four weeks ago, the tune’s resurgence is certainly thanks to some handsome streaming radio airplay.  Billboard reports:

“With its official video having premiered Jan. 30, the song gains by 19 percent to 31.7 million U.S. streams in the week ending Feb. 2, according to Nielsen Music, and holds at No. 2 on the Streaming Songs chart. It increases by 11 percent to 115,000 downloads sold…”

Alongside ‘Castle on the Hill,’ ‘Shape’ serves as the leading single from Sheeran’s highly anticipated new album ‘÷’ (pronounced ‘Divide’) due in stores March 3rd.  But, before you rush to preorder the set, tuck in below to see who joined Sheeran on this week’s updated Hot 100 Chart Check:

When not soaring on the charts, Grammy winning songbird Rihanna is finding other ways to take to the skies – a feat evidenced by her recent spread in the 150th anniversary issue of ‘Harper’s Bazaar.’

As we reported here, the fashionista was aptly tapped to cover the mag’s ‘Fashion Issue.’  Sporting no shortage of slayage in the aviation themed shoot, Riri reminds us all how fly she is with a little help from some Emporior Armani, Dior, Salvatore Ferragamo, Stella McCartney, and Ralph Lauren branded threads (among others).

Cop a gander of Rihanna!

The Bajan belle turns blonde bombshell on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar’s 150th Anniversary issue.

Having kept a relatively low profile of late while shooting ‘Ocean’s 8,’ one has to wonder whether the cover is tied in with new material.

Because, as is customary for Rih, her appearances are often well-syncronized affairs. We’re hearing things. But what do you want to see from Ms. Fenty in 2017?
