Since announcing the arrival of her new album ‘MDNA’, Madonna has ensured she be the subject of many a headline. And while her “Pop royal” status was always going to command the attention of the masses, it’s her comments on megastar Lady GaGa which has drawn the most gasps.

Indeed, the Material Girl has not held back in relaying her belief that the ‘Born This Way’ singer’s output has been “reductive” and lifted from her own.

Ever keen to hear what the masses think, That Grape Juice hit the streets of Hollywood to hear what folk are saying about the matter.

 Sheee’s baack!  The world may be anxiously awaiting first peeks at newborn Blue Ivy, but equal anticipation was lent to the awaited reemergence of ‘Countdown’ diva Beyonce.

Moments ago Blue Ivy’s mom stepped out in a smoking red dress in support of husband Jay Z‘s two night stint at New York’s historic Carnegie Hall.  The rapper, who is the first rapper to ever be granted an encore performance at Carnegie, was joined by fellow Hip Hop hitmakers Alicia Keys, Nas, and more.

Bey, on the other hand, sat as a proud onlooker to Jay (whose Carnegie appearance marks his first performance since birth of daughter Blue).  Sharing her fans excitement for her return to work, it has already been confirmed that she is soon scheduled to return to the set of her Clint Eastwood-directed next film ‘A Star Is Born’.

Even though the talentless still reign supreme, the successes of vocal divas as of late is reassurance that there is hope yet.  For, without question, what the industry has ‘needed badly’ would be the prowess of a vocalist comparable to that of ‘Need U Bad’ beauty Jazmine Sullivan.

Last year may have seen the 24-year-old announce an ill-received departure from music, but now fans can rejoice at this weekend’s Twitter announcement:

*insert excitement here!*

While not completely mute on the musical tip as recent months have seen her lend the pen to Monica‘s ‘Until Its Gone’ and other R&B numbers, we at TGJ still are ready for Sullivan to make her own splash on charts.  Overlooked gems from the singer’s sophomore album ‘Love Me Back’ are still on CONSTANT repeat at TGJ headquarters!

One’s judging NBC’s top rated talent show ‘The Voice’. One has been judged for years for being ‘voiceless’.  What happens when the two combine?  A stantasy (stan-fantasy) of epic proportion!

Fans may be getting a longtime wish come true if ‘Birthday Cake’ beauty Rihanna is hinting in such direction.  As word spread that the island diva may be gifting fans with a full version of the beloved ‘Talk That Talk’ tune on her birthday (February 20th), the singer took to her Twitter to tease fans with chances of enlisting a collaborator:

Armed with moves that would make any Bengay sponsor proud, Icy Hot hitmaker ‘Vogue’ veteran Madonna has certainly been the center of entertainment chatter since her show-stopping performance at last night’s Superbowl Halftime.  As updated reports have surfaced indicating that the singer set Superbowl and TV records by helping draw in the the largest audience ever for a television program (111 million for actual game, 114 million viewers for Halftime show), any contests to the Pop queen’s status may need to be withdrawn.

Always one to capitalize on hype, fans who have become familiar with the deluxe cover of ‘MDNA’ – her 12th LP – have now been invited to view it’s standard alternate (source):

The view comes shortly after news surfaced that her Superbowl showing was not the only touchdown the ‘Take A Bow’ beauty landed.  Not set to hit shelves until March 26th,  Itunes has reported that ‘MDNA’ (after three days of availability) has already moved 50,000 units in pre-sale with its lead single, ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’, also enjoying handsome sales and set to make to make a splash on next week’s chart.

The Nicki Minaj/M.I.A.-assisted venture joins other items from Madge’s back catalogue (Greatest Hits, LPs, etc.) that have collectively enjoyed a 1,700% sales increase (full impact expected to be revealed next week).

 ‘Stupid Hoe’ hitmaker Nicki Minaj is revving up for Roman Reloaded – her long awaited, April-set sophomore effort led by buzz singles ‘Hoe’ and ‘Roman In Moscow’.  As 2012 has seen her expanding her already lengthy collabo portfolio (Madonna, David Guetta, etc), the rapstress has promised a set of surprises to precede ‘Reloaded‘s‘ release.

As fans await such ‘surprises’, Paper Magazine gifted an unexpected treat moments before Madonna’s show-stopping Superbowl Halftime show (which Nicki nabbed a brief cameo in).  Not due to hit stands until February 20th, the Harajuku Barbie was unmasked as the mag’s Spring Fashion Issue covergirl – donning fashions similar to that of her interesting Wonderland magazine photos.

Keep it locked to That Grape Juice as more photos and behind the scenes action from the shoot are unveiled!
