Morning!

This morning, as we celebrate being one day closer to the release of Beyonce‘s new single, we’re trying something a little different. In the photo above (shared by two of the entertainer’s fans last night) she can be seen in the company of her daughter Blue Ivy at the Carroll Garden’s spot ‘Buttermillk Channel.

Our question to you is…

Exactly where in the picture is Bey?!

Let us know below!

And…the gloves are off.

Just moments ago comedian Mike Epps set Twitter alight with jabs at fellow comedian Kevin Hart for a recent episode of his hit BET series ‘Real Husbands of Hollywood’.  The particular episode had a number of gay-themed incidents in it (including a scene where basketballer Shaquille O’Neal performed “rape motions on Hart”(see photo below):

Fans may remember this isn’t the first time Mike Epps avoided using spellcheck and Hart had a spat on the social network.  Back in January the dueling standups battled it out on Twitter after Epps took offense to a comment wielded by Hart.

Epps said, “@KevinHart4Real looks like a bald headed chipmunk that slid down a dusty chimney!”

Can’t we all just get along?

The stars aligned at the El Rey Theatre last night, when they turned up to celebrate the 35th birthday party of digital trendsetter Perez Hilton.

Three of the stars, being ‘Breathing‘ Prince Jason Derulo, ‘Battlefield’ belle Jordin Sparks and ‘Overdose’ chart topper Ciara, all of whom were snapped on the red carpet by photographer David Laffe.

With just two days remaining before the first-week numbers for Justin Timberlake‘s new album ‘The 20/20 Experience’ are tallied up in total, retailers have once again revised the sales predictions.

Initially earmarked for sales of 500k, the numbers were then adjusted upwards to 750k once the LP went on sale. In more recent days, though, word of mouth has seen sales ascend; so much so that the album is on-course to almost double initial label estimates.

They’ve done it.

After five years and countless top tens, The Saturdays have nabbed their first ever #1 single with their latest effort ‘What About Us’. And on the week fellow Brit-Pop group Girls Aloud announced their split. Fairytale much?

Much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ segments, readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.  So in a quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday we introduced a new retrospective segment – ‘TGJ Replay’.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase albums (and eras) from a library of pop music hits.  Today, we rewind to the genesis of Cece Winans solo career – 1995’s award-winning ‘Alone In His Presence’:

With the mega-successes of the ‘Real Housewives’ franchises under their belt, Bravo TV is turning their scopes to another set of wives – those of Atlanta’s esteemed medical community.

The series ‘Married To Medicine’ (from the producers of ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’) follows the daily happenings of six women who are either married to doctors or doctors themselves and sheds new light on the drama that comes with being a part of ATL’s well-to-do medical society.

Set to premiere tonight on Bravo TV (March 24 at 9/8 c), That Grape Juice got the chance to catch up with Mariah Huq, the show’s co-creator and star, to get the dish on what viewers can expect from the new reality series.

Looking for a new weekly dose of drama and diva realness?  Well, if our interview with Huq is anything to go by, this may be exactly what the doctor ordered:

Christina Milian lays the foundation of her chart return this month, rocking blue for the Spring 2013 edition of ‘Unleash’d’ magazine.

Embracing her inner ‘mod’ for her spread, the ‘Us Against The World’ singer hits the mag as part of the promotional package for her Lil Wayne backed chart return. A return, we’re hoping sees her serve up her best album to date, following a series of false starts since parting ways with Island Def Jam.

So, let us know…

What do you think of the cover?
