‘Bang Bang’ belter Jessie J blazes the November 2014 cover of Cosmopolitan magazine.

The feature forms the latest in a long line of promo spots for the singer’s new album ‘Sweet Talker’ – which arrives on October 13th.

Needless to say, the ‘Burnin’ Up’ singer looks fierce. Werk!

Your thoughts?

‘The Breakfast Club’ had the pleasure of catching up with Jason Derulo recently, inviting the star to dish on all things Derulo-rated as he continues to morph from squeaky clean Pop prince to Urban Contemporary boy next door.

What they discussed? Guess Jordin Sparks? Then you’d be right, digging deep into the pair’s recent breakup as he continues to build bops for his brand new studio album?

What he had to say on the hot topic?

After a brief break on the bench, ‘TGJ Replay’ is back!

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest retrospective segment – a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.  As September brought with it the 17th anniversary of Mariah Carey‘s groundbreaking ‘Butterfly’ album, this ‘Replay’ is set to take a flight in time back to 1997.

The entertainment business can be cut-throat. Just ask Porsha Williams.

Yesterday saw Bravo announce her demotion (and effective axing) from the cast of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta. And it appears the news came as a surprise to the aspiring singer and business mogul too.

For, despite putting on a brave face on Instagram ahead of the unveiling of the shows’s seventh season trailer yesterday, Williams has revealed that she found out about her predicament when everyone else did.

Awkward.

Lil Kim continues to grind the promotional trail in support of her new mixtape ‘Hardcore 2K14’.

And after wrapping a number of radio spots, the rapper took to TV yesterday, dropping by BET’s 106 & Park to talk her career, impact, and – as is becoming routine – Nicki Minaj.

In all fairness to Kimberly, it was stand-in hosts Ray J and Erica Mena who brought up the topic of her nemesis.

Interestingly, Onika was discussed in the context of a collaboration. Find out who Kim responded below…

‘Hot Right Now’ collaborators Rita Ora and DJ Fresh seem to have taken different paths since releasing the single in 2012, according to the latter.

In an interview with ‘Digital Spy‘, Fresh revealed that why he and rapper Tinie Tempah have placed music at the forefront of their careers, Ora’s continued work in fashion and film have seen her become more interested in being a celebrity than a musician.

Chris Brown has been taken over by the remixing spirit.  Having already blessed ILoveMakonnen’s ‘Tuesday’ and Snootie Wild’s ‘Made Me,’ Breezy brings his ever artistic touch to French Montana’s ‘Don’t Panic.’

Produced by DJ Mustard, the tune surfaces as his latest studio album, ‘X,’ continues to dominate R&B charts.

Mary J. Blige is set to bring a taste of the UK to the world when she releases her new concept album ‘The London Sessions’ on December 2nd.

Conceived and recorded in the British capital, the LP boasts a beefy list of Brit-bred collaborators such as Emeli Sande, Naughty Boy, Disclosure, and Sam Smith.

The latest track to surface from the set is ‘Nobody But You’. And, though not a single, the track serves as yet another taste of what folk can expect from the album as a body of work. Take a listen below…

Lady GaGa has done it again.

Jordin Sparks rarely finds her name in drama-drenched headlines. However, since splitting with Pop star boyfriend Jason Derulo (who she dated for 3 years), the American Idol winner has been the subject of ample discussion. Especially, following Derulo’s candid public stance on what caused the union to end.

Looking to set the record straight, Sparks stopped by The Wendy Williams Show today – where she answered the host’s expectedly direct questions. She also talked up her new projects.

Peep the interview below…

There are just some people whose talent seemingly know few bounds.  And, if his storied acting, modeling, dancing, and now singing career suffice as evidence, then Miami dance machine Alvester Martin is one of them.

Already building quite the buzz after seeing his talented feet dance alongside some of music’s biggest names from Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez to Rihanna and Beyonce, now Martin is making his own moves in the recording industry.

As fans lay in wait for his official debut release via Emagine/Universal Music Group, the multi-talented crooner lets That Grape Juice in to get a peek at his first official music video and find out more about the man known to many as the “industry’s best kept secret.”

Since it’s the arrival of its music video, Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Anaconda’ has seen now fewer than 100,000 units moved with every passing chart week.

Alas, not even the sweet smell of success could mask the brewing stench omitted by drama weighed in on by singer/songwriter Eric Bellinger, responsible for Chris Brown‘s smash hit single ‘Fine China.‘

This week, before it surpasses sales of 1 million units in the US, the single has found Minaj’s story behind its conception thrown into disrepute, now Bellinger claims that she is refusing to acknowledge his production work on it.

Why? His decision to tease fans with the single before the rapper had given him the OK to do so.

So, what Eric intends to do about it?
