Mariah Carey may be M.I.A on the charts these days, but that hasn’t stopped the diva’s fan-base from remaining fiercely loyal.

Case, point, the verbal daggers the group (who Carey deems her Lambs) have been throwing at R&B singer Kelly Price for the last 24 hours.

Like most drama in the modern era, the issue started on Twitter following comments Price made about an artist who had a concert special on TV at the time. Call it co-incidence or call it shade, whatever the case, Carey had a special airing at the exact same time.

The initial comment, the Lambs response, and Kelly’s clapback after the jump…

 As a proud representative of the Jewish community, ten minutes ago saw Grammy Award winning chart topper Drake share a moving snap of his family celebrating the beginning of Passover, in memory of Jewish liberation from Egyptian slavery and their birth as a nation under the leadership of the Goshen born Moses.

However, in what will no doubt disgust any who sees them, the uploading of the picture via his personal Instragram page saw him face anti-semitic taunts from a number of digital spectators.

Having spent much of last year conquering the UK, Roc Nation’s Rita Ora is blossoming into quite the International diva.

The 22-year-old stunner was tapped to perform in Monaco over the weekend at the private birthday party of the country’s Princess. And, as if that wasn’t enough, the ‘How We Do’ singer was styled and ushered into the event by fashion icon Karl Largerfeld.

Needless to say, it’s great to see Ms. Ora making major power movements ahead of the release of her sophomore album – which she recently told That Grape Juice she’s hard at work on.

Peep more pics of Rita rocking out below…

Much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ segments, readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.  So in a quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday we introduced a new retrospective segment – ‘TGJ Replay’.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase albums (and eras) from a library of pop music hits.  Today, we press play again on Tweet‘s 2005 criminally underrated sophomore album ‘It’s Me Again’… (more…)

Alexandra Burke is one busy busy girl.

The Pop powerhouse is currently hard at work on her third studio album (which will also serve as her American debut), however she is set to take brief break from recording this June to take up residency at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall.

In what appears to be a strategic move to re-position Burke as a Soulful siren, the 24 year old will pay homage to the soundtrack of  classic Diana Ross movie ‘Lady Sings The Blues’. As many will note, the 1972 original told the story and celebrated the songs of Billie Holiday.

More on Burke’s live re-imagining of the ‘Blues’ after the jump…

After taking a minute to recoup after the mis-shot that was their TLC cover ‘Waterfalls’, British R&B outfit Stooshe are back with new single ‘Slip’.

The Supremes flavoured cut is the fourth to be lifted from the trio’s self-titled debut which, following a brief re-working, is now slated for a May 27th release.

Having already racked up two top tens out of three releases (see: ‘Love Me’ and ‘Black Heart’), can Alexandra, Karis, and Courtney do it again? You decide after the jump…

Since her arrival last year, we were hoping Rita Ora‘s immaculate vocal stylings would rub off on her older yet far less skilled ROC sister, Rihanna.

Unfortunately, between not writing her own songs and patrolling the mean streets of Instagram, the ‘Fading’ singer seemingly hasn’t found the time to learn from Rita live outings.

Anyway, in joining Elijah Blake to prove the label does have an ear for authentic talent, March 19th  saw Rita rock ‘Premium Live’ in Japan with a performance of her song ‘Been Lying’, putting the ‘We Found Love‘ bleater to total shame.

He’s the Brit Pop mastermind responsible for hits released by Jessie J and Grand Hustle’s Chip.

So, as to expand her own reach in Pop’s arena, Nicki Minaj wowed fans last year when she hand picked Parker to be the first act signed to her ‘Pink Friday’ Music group.

Later this year- and with her full backing- he will release his debut EP ‘Young, Dumb & 21′, featuring the rising single ‘So Beautiful‘. A single, whose video awaits you below.

Want to know why we’re super excited about him?

Morning!

This morning, as we celebrate being one day closer to the release of Beyonce‘s new single, we’re trying something a little different. In the photo above (shared by two of the entertainer’s fans last night) she can be seen in the company of her daughter Blue Ivy at the Carroll Garden’s spot ‘Buttermillk Channel‘.

Our question to you is…

Exactly where in the picture is Bey?!

And…the gloves are off.

Just moments ago comedian Mike Epps set Twitter alight with jabs at fellow comedian Kevin Hart for a recent episode of his hit BET series ‘Real Husbands of Hollywood’.  The particular episode had a number of gay-themed incidents in it (including a scene where basketballer Shaquille O’Neal performed “rape motions on Hart”(see photo below):

To which Epps had this to say:

To which Kevin Hart replied:

Mike Epps continued, stating:

Fans may remember this isn’t the first time Mike Epps avoided using spellcheck and Hart had a spat on the social network.  Back in January the dueling standups battled it out on Twitter after Epps took offense to a comment wielded by Hart.

Epps said, “@KevinHart4Real looks like a bald headed chipmunk that slid down a dusty chimney!”

Can’t we all just get along?
