“Michael Jackson left the spirit of dance in Chris Grant” – Frank Gatson

For anyone else, such a billing would generate some discomfort. Yet for 23 year old Chris Grant, it’s not only a title he is humbled by, it’s one he’s keen to both embrace and honour.

A renown dancer and choreographer, the New York native has amassed a wealth of experience in his few years on the scene. Indeed, his choreography credits boast many a Beyonce stage-show, Jennifer Lopez‘s ‘On The Floor’ video, and most notably a spot on Michael Jackson’s ill-fated ‘This Is It’ extravaganza.

With Grant eager to emerge from the shadows as an artist himself, That Grape Juice presents episode 1 of ‘Introducing…Chris Grant’.

While pop diva Beyonce has spoken glowingly about her role in the Clint Eastwood-directed remake of famed musical ‘A Star Is Born’ in recent months (calling it the ‘biggest opportunity of her life’), the ‘Baby Boy’ singer is now making headlines for another expected birth.

And while the music world is still abuzz after her pregnancy confirmation at the MTV Video Music Awards last nite, Deadline reports Warner Bros has opted to delay production on the already delayed feature film.  Though production was originally set to start as early as February 2012, reports indicate Warner Bros is hoping to use the time to to cast an appropriate lead male.  With Will Smith, Christian Bale, and Leonardo Dicaprio all names rumored to be sought for the role, fans should expect an announcement in the coming months.

While Kohl’s is the ‘Love Don’t Cost a Thing’ singer’s latest tread into threads, fans know Lopez is no stranger to fashion lines and fragrances.  And, though busy shooting comedy film ‘What To Expect When You’re Expecting’ in Atlanta, fans can see Lopez flex those comedy skills in her latest commercials for Kohl’s after the jump:
