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.

Cop a gander of Kelis!

The eclectic songstress, who recently released independent album ‘Food’, has been unveiled as the new face of Grey Ant eyewear.

60’s themed, the promotional shoot borrows elements of Mad Man and does so magnificently.

Though Ms. Rogers clearly doesn’t sell by the bucketload these days, it’s great to see her still “booking” stages and campaigns.

Hustling chanteuse.

As British Pop stars go, few come as renown as Cheryl Cole.

The stage blazer’s catchy songs and fire-filled performances have cemented her as one of the region’s most celebrated (and debated) talent’s.

Currently gearing up to release fourth solo album ‘Only Human’ in November, The X Factor UK judge made a major promo stop at Capital FM’s Summertime Ball at Wembley over the weekend.

That Grape Juice caught up with her briefly backstage, quizzing her on the sound of the ‘Crazy Stupid Love’ led project.

The flames from TLC and Rihanna‘s supposed “beef” seem to have quelled following the group’s insistence that their “comments” about the singer’s routine nudity were taken and used out of context.

However, it appears the media aren’t prepared  to stick a fork in the meaty matter just yet.

For, TMZ keenly grilled TLC’s T Boz about the issue recently. Clearly angling for a certain response, did T Boz serve it or swerve it?

Unfortunately for her, talk that she left the company has now been silenced by reports that she was in fact fired by none other than ‘Prismatic‘ Pop princess Katy Perry!
