In support of fellow entertainer Lil Wayne,  ‘Goodies’ singer Ciara was one of the many attendees at the release party of the Rappers latest album ‘The Carter IV’ which was released on Itunes last night.

Dressed casually and armed with her trademark smile, the Grammy winning songstress enjoyed the company of many of her peers, some of whom had been present  at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards hours before.

Sporting an interesting choice of footwear and a smile possibly brought on by the #16 position of her latest single ‘Collide‘ on Billboard’s US Hot Dance Club Songs chart, the X Factor UK alum was met with fans and paparazzi alike as she graced the airport with her presence.

Many thanks to Leona Web.

The MTV Video Music Awards 2011 was certainly one of the year’s most electrifying events on the industry calender, with show-stopping performances from Jay-Z & Kanye, Beyonce, Adele, Brown, among others.

Chart titan Katy Perry may have led the race with a whopping 10 nominations, but did she take home the most moonmen?

That Grape Juice caught up with Pop belter JoJo at Perez Hilon‘s Pre-VMA bash hosted by Carrera and Cut The Rope in Los Angeles last night.

There the 20 year old chatted it up with us about many a topic including her new album, its release date, and its lead single ‘Disaster’ – which she gave us an impromptu taster of on the red carpet.

The track, which she describes as a not-too-distant cousin of 2006’s ‘Too Little Too Late’, hits US radio this week coming.

It’s 2006 and Diddy’s super-group Danity Kane were finally ready to prove that the vocal training and “book kacks” had paid off. Composed of Dawn Richard, Shannon Bex, Aundrea Fimbres, Wanita “D.Woods” Woodgette and Aubrey O’Day, the ladies embarked on a short-lived, yet ultimately impressive adventure.

This week’s From The Vault relives the group’s biggest hit, the Stereotypes produced ‘Damaged’.

Released in early 2008 as the Making The Band winners’ first single from sophomore set ‘Welcome To The Dollhouse’, the track is a definitive homerun, serving as one of DK’s finest audio-visual moments. With its seamless fusion of Urban and Electro-Pop , the upbeat cut allows the ladies to truly show the masses that they are more than capable vocalists. Underscoring the fact that after only 3 years being bandmates, their chemistry as a recording act was off the chain.

Unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said for their chemistry off the record. Indeed, in-fighting rumors were whipped into overdrive, ultimately proving more than accurate. As such, Mr. Combs decided to put an end to his own creation, sacking star-member Aubrey O’Day as well as D.Woods -rendering many a fan…well…damaged.

Three years down the road, there seems to be no turning back for Aubrey and co. as a collective. However, we seriously hope the budding divas  put their talent to good use, for it would be a crime against the  industry if they were to ‘sleep on it’.

Still, we’d like to know:

Do you think it is essential for band members to be friends in order to succeed?
Was disbanding the group Diddy’s biggest mistake? (… after signing Cassie of course)?

Now one of Rap’s leading debutantes, Big Sean has made quite the impact on the charts in recent weeks with his #1 album ‘Finally Famous‘ and his single ‘I Do It’ both dominating urban radio.

However, long before signing to Kanye West‘s ‘GOOD Music‘ group and rubbing shoulders with the likes of Chris Brown and Pharell Williams , the California born personality was a struggling lyricist who once found himself in hot water when he ‘forgot’ to pay for a meal he had eaten.

Confused?
