While R&B’s market continues to dwindle by the year, it seems Hip Hop continues on to do the opposite- spawning at least two or three cash cows per year.

That Grape Juice was on-hand at the 28th Annual Stellar Awards last night, shot live at Nashville’s famed Grand Ole Opry.

There, we had the pleasure of speaking with Michelle Williams – who was seen reuniting with fellow Destiny’s Child alum Letoya Luckett.

While we quite hushed about the “new” Destiny’s Child number ‘Nuclear’ and forthcoming Superbowl performance, the ‘Do You Know’ diva did share news about her forthcoming Broadway run and new album. As ever, keep it locked for more Stellar Awards coverage and news on Miss Michelle as she is looking for input on the set’s title from none other than you – That Grape Juice faithful.
