Christian Keyes is indeed a man of many hats.

Actor (stage, television, and movies), singer, model, producer, and writer are just a few of the titles that occupy space on his resume. Probably most remembered from his roles Tyler Perry’s hotly selling stage productions “What’s Done In The Dark” and “Madea Goes To Jail”, the Detroit born heartthrob has most recently thrilled audiences as ‘Troy’ aboard the hit BET sitcom ‘Let’s Stay Together’.

That Grape Juice recently caught up with Keyes to discuss his time on the show, music career, and clear up rumors that he will be starring in a ‘Magic Mike’ remake with an all African American cast.

Ladies, you definitely won’t want to miss this.

Call it a comeback?

It’s increasingly looking like Mariah Carey has struck musical gold with her latest single ‘#Beautiful’.

The Miguel assisted cut, which debuted yesterday, was ushered in with a colossal Clear Channel radio deal which saw it played on all mainstream and Urban stations the media giant owns — every hour on the hour all day yesterday. The result, so it seems, is chart victory. See what we mean below…

Marking the latest body of work from the former ‘Encore‘ entertainer, the release features contributions from some of the UK’s more renown contributors and cuts that already have many a critic billing it one of the strongest British releases of the year.

Check it out below!

Kendrick Lamar  has opened up on the struggle he faced become one of Rap’s fastest selling contributors, speaking on his past in an interview with Santillian and the Wild Out Wake-Up Show.

Upon announcing her pregnancy back in the summer of 2011, many would have been right to think Beyonce‘s ‘4‘- the album she was pushing at the time- would suffer on a commercial tip as a result.

However, in what cements the entertainer’s position as an album seller, the LP is currently experiencing a global sales rebirth as a result of her ‘Mrs.Carter Show’- pushing the release even nearer to the 3 million units sold worldwide mark.

Tamar Braxton is bringing the heat this Summer.

Having told her tale of ‘Love & War’ (with great commercial results), the youngest of the Braxton clan and expectant mother serves up ‘The One’ as the second single to be lifted from her sophomore album (also titled ‘Love & War’).

Though drawing on R&B’s go-to sample, Mtume’s ‘Juicy Fruit’, Ms. Braxton’s track manages to scorch on its own accord. Take a listen below…

Christina Aguilera snatched headlines left and right with her stunning appearance at the TIME 100 gala last month and, by the looks of things, she’s sticking with her new look.

The ‘Your Body’ singer was snapped out and about in Los Angeles with longtime boyfriend Matthew Rutler, sending quite the message with her happy and healthy frame. And while we’re primarily concerned with the music here at That Grape Juice, we’d be lying if we didn’t acknowledge the role image plays in making and breaking stars. It’s great to see Xtina’s back on track. Here’s hoping it’s paired with new material…pronto! Until then, *hits PLAY on ‘Lotus’*

Your thoughts?

The fierce fashion at the Met Gala 2013 may have set the net ablaze, however its snaps from inside the event that’ll likely have most talking.

Case, point, Nicki Minaj‘s seemingly innocent photo opp with music mogul and Mariah Carey‘s ex-husband Tommy Mottola. After all, while there’s every chance the Young Money star’s run-in with Mottola could have been coincidental, many will question the timing of the pic given Minaj’s recent Twitter outburst against fellow American Idol judge and ‘#Beautiful’ singer Mimi. Then, of course, there’s Tommy’s recent tell-all book on his time with the multi-octave vocalist. Hmm.

On a less controversial note, peep pics of Madonna posing it up with Beyonce and Frank Ocean below…

Stars from many a field showed up and showed out tonight at the Costume Institute Gala 2013 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The event, which is colloquially known as the ‘Met Gala’, saw a host of Hollywood talent descend into New York City in their finest fabrics for this year’s showcase – which this year boasted a “Punk” theme.

King B, Beyonce, led the pack — dazzling in a Givenchy gown that turned many a head. No signs of jet lag were present on the stage blazer who jetted in from London on a day off from her sold-out Mrs Carter Show World Tour.

Meanwhile, Madonna had folk talking too. Although we’re not sure it was for the same reasons.

Peep pics of Material Madge, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Rita Ora, and more below…

Tomorrow is a big day for Tamar Braxton.

The mother-to-be is set to debut new single ‘The One’ and so as to whip up a buzz has unwrapped its official cover.

Set for release via Epic Records, the track (which samples B.I.G’s ‘Juicy’) follows chart smash ‘Love & War’ – which is still making major gains on Urban radio. Both are set to appear on the singer and reality star’s new album, due later this year.

Still, with five months having passed since its predecessor debuted, we’re more than ready for Ms. Braxton-Herbert’s latest offering. Roll on tomorrow!
