Since her 2001 introduction with ‘Songs In A Minor’, 14-time Grammy winner Alicia Keys has been making major moves on the music scene.  Aside from sharing stages and studio time with legends Prince, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Bono, and more, Keys has earned the respect of and played co-star to many of today’s contemporary stars (i.e. Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Timbaland, etc).

With anticipation of her nearly completed 5th album, today – her 31st birthday – That Grape Juice seeks to salute the songstress who made it cool to keep your clothes on tickle the keys again.

Her catalog may boast some of the noughties’ biggest hits like ‘Fallin’,’If I Ain’t Got You’,  ‘No One’, and more, but there are some gems that sunk in the shadows of her more acclaimed numbers.

Get into a few of these after the jump:

Pop potentate Madonna has certainly been mums about her highly anticipated Superbowl showing.  But, while news has long made headlines of rapstress Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.‘s inclusion in the set, now word has it the pop eccentric has enlisted another eccentric to complete the fold – Cee Lo Green.

When queens collide!  Ye should prepare yourselves for royal entertainment!

Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J. Blige‘s unceremonious snubbing from the 2012 Academy Awards nominations has caused quite an uproar with fans and industry insiders alike.  Never shy on a matter, Mary took to  Twitter Tuesday to voice her own displeasure with the diss.

Despite making rounds for ‘The Living Proof’ – her acclaimed inclusion on ‘The Help’ soundtrack, Mary is still moving on the promo trail for her ‘My Life II’ set.  Spotted on Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’ last night, the New York native was quizzed on a number of topics including her album, the Oscar snub, her thoughts on young R&B (Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Chris Brown, etc), and the dueling divas – Madonna and Elton John.

Fans may recall that Madonna’s ‘Masterpiece’ recently bested both Blige and John for ‘Best Original Song’ at its own 2012 ceremony.  And, with Blige and John sharing mutual support and multiple duets in the past, spectators have long sought the R&B beauty’s thoughts on the longstanding Madge and Elton beef.

In this hilarious interview, you can find out the ‘No More Drama’ diva’s view on the drama after the jump:

While fans at every stop of her extensive book tour gleamed to see the American Idol alum at her arrivals, those fans not so lucky have been gifted a video diary detailing her travels.
