A vocal beast, we here at That Grape Juice have long loved Ledisi. As such, elated would be an understatement when relaying how we felt upon learning ‘Bravo’ is the  latest single.

An empowering anthem, the cut showcases the songbird’s soaring ability at its lofty best. And what better platform to launch on this week than The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. 

Wonder what the hype is about? The answer awaits below…

Looking every bit the diva she’s become, Kelly Rowland sizzled in a scorching pink ensemble as she arrived at the BET Honors in Washington moments ago.

The ‘Motivation’ singer is set to tribute one of the the women who motivated her to sing – Mariah Carey. We have it on reliable word that MiMi personally requested Rowland for the gig, a fact which should make her performance of ‘Fantasy’ all the more interesting.

Only in Hollywood.

Jennifer Lopez and soon-to-be-ex husband Marc Anthony have spent the better part of their separation competing for column inches with intimate snaps of their new “lovers”. A practice which has, in turn, fuelled speculation about the “bitter nature” of their upcoming divorce.

Yet, the united front the duo put on today tells an altogether different story.

Looking very much friends, Lopez, 42, and Anthony, 43, were on hand at the TCA Breakfast in Pasadena, California to plug their new Spanish talent search Q’Viva: The Chosen.

Talk about making divorce look easy. In any case, kudos to them for being adult about the situation (as much as their deliberate courting of the press with their new romances did the opposite).

Tracee Ellis Ross may have found her footing with new BET show ‘Reed Between The Lines’, but the actress saw her world rocked when the show she rose to fame on, ‘Girlfriends’, was unceremoniously dropped by The CW.

Still a ratings winner at the time of its axe, the series was seen by many as a victim of an “Urban” cull by the network.

Check out Ross (daughter of singer Diana) discuss the show’s demise at a recent conference in London.

Last week- and quite unfortunately- it emerged that Pop upstart Jason Derulo had been forced to a cancel his 2012 live concert tour after suffering a severe neck injury.

Now, the ‘Breathing’ maestro has taken to YouTube to express his sincerest apologies for the cancellation.

The arrival of Beyonce and Jay-Z‘s bundle of joy, Blue Ivy, has dominated headlines since the singer gave birth exactly a week ago.

However, along with the hoopla that comes with celebrity baby births, has been much debate about just what the ‘Single Ladies’ singer should do next.

Naturally, the assumption is that a career hiatus is imminent. Yet, the 30 year old boasts a work-ethic like no other – making an “elongated break” unlikely. What’s more, her last album ‘4’ has – for all its Platinum selling success – not performed as well as previous efforts. Ultimately leaving the star with something to prove – commercially.

Hit ‘PLAY’ to watch us probe ‘What Should Beyonce Do Next’ and be sure to let us know what YOU think!
