Peep these shots of Pop Royals Beyonce & Jay Z stepping out for dinner in West Hollywood last night.

This week’s That Grape Juice ‘Cover Star‘ comes in the form of an archived performance of powerhouse vocalist Sasha Allen. Watch as the beauty pays homage to Whitney Houston‘s first #1 hit ‘Saving All My Love For You’:

Wow.  Just wow.

To say that Allen did this song justice is a minimalistic review of this awesome showing.  Many-a-reality talent show contestant have tried and failed to cover Whitney’s top hits, but where Sasha succeeds was her ability to make the song without overdoing it.

The melisma, the power, and easy on the eyes?  Sasha would definitely be a fierce competitor for the next generation of top vocal divas.

It’s finally here!

After sending her fan base into a frenzy upon its confirmation, Beyonce‘s March 2013 cover for ‘Vogue’ Magazine has surfaced today- two days before she attends the 55th Annual Grammy Awards.

A far cry from her scorching GQ outing, her regal cover will serve as fresh support for her forthcoming studio album and its hotly anticipated lead single, which will reportedly hit the world in the coming weeks.

This album, which features contributions from’Use Me’ siren Miguel, will come as the follow up to 2011’s ‘4’, which now boast global sales of over 2 million units worldwide and the R&B #1 single, ‘Love On Top’.
