‘Don’t Wanna Go Home‘ will certainly be the last thing Floridian hitmaker Jason Derulo will be singing after this recent accident left him injured.  Taking to Twitter moments ago to lend the announcement, the chart-topper has set the net abuzz with the revelation of a neck injury incurred during rehearsal for his upcoming tour:

Always good to see the young crooner is in good spirits.  With his aptly titled ‘Future History’ becoming just that a short time after its release, Derulo’s forthcoming trek would certainly bid well in extending its short shelf life.

In related news, the Miami dance machine was one of many ringing in the New Year on MTV’s NYE in NYC 2012 special.  As MTV has finally made the performances available for view, see Mr. Derulo dropping it like its hot before the ball dropped after the jump:

‘Rolling In the Deep’ diva Adele’s ’21’ album is still rolling over competition on both album and single charts despite debuting almost a year ago.   Already crowned 2011’s best selling album and spending 43 of its 44 week shelf-life in Billboard’s top 5, the songstress moved back to #1 after moving an additional 144k albums this week.  Such feat ties her with fellow female powerhouse vocalist Whitney Houston’s 1986 self-titled debut for a 14 week run atop Billboard’s album charts.  The only other female (or female led) albums to know such reign would be ‘The Bodyguard’ soundtrack (20 weeks from 1992-1993) and Carole King‘s ‘Tapestry’ (15 weeks in 1971).

On the singles front, the British beauty is commanding the lower half of the chart’s top 10 with ‘Someone Like You’ and ‘Set Fire To the Rain’ at no.8 and no.9 respectively.  At the chart’s higher end, ‘Party Rock Anthem‘ duo extend their top 10 reign at #1  and #6 respectively with their party favorites ‘Sexy and I Know It’ and ‘Party Rock’.  Filling out the top five, gal pals Rihanna and Katy Perry can be found at #2 and #3 respectively with ‘We Found Love’ and “The One That Got Away”.

Finally, while the ladies have run this motha- for quite sometime, the men are finally getting in on some of the action.  Bruno Mars makes a splash with ‘It Will Rain’ at #4, Flo Rida makes good at #5 with ‘Good Feeling’, and Jay Z/Kanye settle at #7 with ‘Ni**as In Paris’.

Discussing “operation restoration”, Brown’s manager sat down with Billboard for an insightful interview, detailing how the singer will be handled moving forward.

It’s been a whirlwind few years for Adrienne Bailon.

Having risen to prominence as part of R&B outfit 3LW in the early 00’s, the singer’s big break came when Disney snapped her up to front (what would become) the wildly successful Cheetah Girls.

Yet, as the age old adage goes, all good things must come to an end; with that ‘end’ coming in 2008 when the Cheetah’s disbanded.

And while some members struggled to find their footing (with less than ‘Spectacular’ results), Bailon was swiftly snapped up by Island  Def Jam. A deal That Grape Juice learned has since gone sour. Nonetheless, the future still looks bright for the 28 year old. Find out why below…
