After a brief rest on the bench, this week sees the return of That Grape Juice Cover Star. Helping kick things off is folk popstress Jenna Andrews lending a Colbie Caillat-esque twist to Aaliyah‘s blazing 1996 groove ‘Hot Like Fire’.

Given the thump of the (Timbaland) single mix, this acoustic set comes as a surprisingly pleasant perspective.  Definitely left field – but not so much so that the song becomes unrecognizable – Andrews stamps the song as her own while still carrying it with a softness reminiscent of its original performer.  Doesn’t hurt that Jenna’s easy on the eyes.

Already making headlines for enlisting Sri Lankan singer/rapper M.I.A. and ‘Moment 4 Life’ rapstress Nicki Minaj for the album’s lead single ‘Give Me All Your Love’, ABC was given an chance to attend a private recording session involving the former and Madge.  The visual is a very intimately set showing as the two work to craft what Madonna is indeed hoping will be her next monster hit.

Jennifer Hudson has been booking appearances all across the States in support of her first book ‘I Got This’.  Debuting this week (January 10), the soon-to-be Mrs. Otunga has been on the run all week long for book signings, interviews, and the like.  The past week alone has seen her lend her looks to multiple magazine covers and dropping by ‘Dateline’, ‘Dr. Oz’, 106 & Park, ‘The Today Show’, and more.

And, as if she hasn’t racked up enough promo points for the memoir, Hudson can now be seen visiting Access Hollywood.  Despite covering her regular range of topics, the hitmaker also spoke candidly about her desire to have a little girl and her surprising decline of the lead role  for the Academy Award nominated ‘Precious’.  Though reports originally claimed the singer turned down the role due to its ‘weight requirement’, Jennifer offers the real reason why she didn’t tackle the portrayal.
