While fans have been enjoying ‘Boomerang’ – the latest single from guitar wielding soul singer Lyfe Jennings, the ‘Hypothetically’ hitmaker has lifted the lid on a forthcoming reality show.

Titled ‘Our Life’, the show is set to document the daily happenings of Lyfe’s life post-3 year jail stint.  Much like rapper Shawty Lo, it is said the show’s focus will be more on Jennings’ children and “baby mamas”, but unlike Lo, the ‘Must Be Nice’ maestro promises to keep the show nice and ‘ratchet-free’.

Until we see if he keeps his promise, keep it locked to That Grape Juice for more on this story as it develops.  No premiere date or network set as of time reporting.

Believe it or not, today marks the 10th anniversary of Beyonce‘s debut album ‘Dangerously In Love’- an album that redefined Pop culture for good.

The launching pad for a career that served to birth so many after hers, the R&B project saw the entertainer rise from the comfort of Destiny’s Child, and ultimately overshadow the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Ashanti, dwarfing their run at the top with a campaign that saw Mathew Knowles exercise every tool and rule in the book to ensure its success.

Now, 11 million albums later, we celebrate the project’s greatest moment….the star’s performance of its title track at 46th Annual Grammy Awards.
