Before dropping the first single from his fourth studio album, Justin Bieber gifts his fans a brand new cut today, celebrating their spirits with ‘We Were Born For This.’

Flaunting the voice that oft finds itself overlooked in the hype that is his celebrity, the ballad was reportedly record during studio sessions arranged for his aforementioned new album, set to compete with new LPs to be launched by the likes of Usher, Rihanna, Kanye West and Nicki Minaj, all of whom have set 2014 release dates for their new material.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta - Season 6

Shed Media‘s ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ served up the second helping of their season 6 reunion last night, bringing with it a debate between old pals Cynthia Bailey and NeNe Leakes.

Quite interestingly, while Leakes seemed eager to keep mum on their onscreen drama, Bailey seemed eager to discuss said problems...months after the ladies had buried the hatchet on camera and reconciled off camera.

Now, unfortunately for Ms.Bailey, her motives for pushing the feud have been exposed by Leakes, who took to social media to share pictures and messages taken with/sent to her by the former model proving that they had not only kissed and made up but had conspired to stage scenes for the reality TV show.

After bidding adieu to actor Collins Pennie in its second season, season three of ‘Revenge’ continued to rock & shock its audience yesterday evening with an episode that saw one of its leading characters “slice” an unwanted foe out of the picture.

Not the faint-hearted, the episode is set to be followed up by one just as captivating this coming Sunday, seeing Emily Thorne and Margaux LeMarchal come closer to exposing/learning the truth as they deal with the bloody aftermath.

Why the ladies may just have found a common enemy in Conrad Grayson?

Powerhouse vocalist Tasha Page-Lockhart has taken the gospel scene by storm since she emerged as champion of BET’s ‘Sunday Best’ season 6.

The daughter of famed gospel songstress Lisa Page Brooks, Page-Lockhart is certainly no stranger to the game at large.  But, with a flair all her own and a dizzying repository of runs and riffs, the Detroit-native has long moved from her famous mom’s shadow.

Now, with new single ‘Different’ taking aim at the Gospel charts’ top spot, the budding gospel diva sat down for an exclusive interview with That Grape Juice to talk about the Kirk Franklin-produced tune, its parent album, and more about her inspiring testimony.

Are you ready to meet the leader of gospel’s freshman class?  The introduction awaits you below:

 And the plot thickens; yet sadly for Mariah Carey, it’s into a muckier mess. Or so it seems.

For, despite the singer’s team telling Billboard quite directly that the star was planning an “all-at-once” digital roll-out for her 14th studio album (with a physical addition arriving a week later), reps from the diva’s record label Def Jam are now singing an altogether different tune.

Diva supreme Mariah Carey is hot on the promo trail for her upcoming new album.

The set, which serves as the singer’s 14th studio effort, will – as reported – be released in a unique “all at once” capacity, with its title, artwork, and music all rolled out digitally first, with a physical edition arriving a week later.

To plug the release, which comes on the heels of a slew of unsuccessful singles, the star beams a-front of  The Observer – a subsidiary of UK newspaper The Guardian.

During the insightful piece (which you can read by clicking here), it’s confirmed that Carey (who turned up 3 hours late for the interview) is indeed eyeing a “late May” release date for the “surprise” project. Although, we here at TGJ, wouldn’t be shocked if this was a ruse of sorts to throw folk off.

Why? Find out below…
