Not one to hold her tongue, Tamar Braxton has ironically emerged as the most talked about aspect of  ‘Braxton Family Values’.

Indeed, her sassy, tell-it-like-it-is manner has seen the 34 year strike a chord with viewers of the hit WeTV reality series, which focuses on her life, as well as those of her sisters, Trina, Towanda, Traci – and  the legendary Toni Braxton.

Keen as ever to break out from behind the shadows of her siblings, Tamar talks it up with That Grape Juice about many a topic including: the re-launch of her solo career, whether she feels her antics on the show will harm it, critique of her marriage, being inspired by Beyonce, season two of ‘Braxton Family Values’ and much more!

As ever, we ask the questions you really want answers to. Ms. Braxton, as you’ll see, answers and then some.

As earlier reported, R&B star Keyshia Cole tied the knot with fiance Daniel ‘Boobie’ Gibson in Las Vegas last weekend.

Bowing to pressure from fans, Gibson (a player for the Cleveland Cavaliers) shared shots from the couple’s big day on Twitter, saying:

Just like I Promised.. Me & @keyshiacole Couple Wedding Pics!!!

Always & Forever!! It’s just like a dream to Me.. @keyshiacole Moments you live for

Cole and Gibson (who is 4 years her junior) have a 14 month old son, Daniel Gibson Jr.

Do you smell what Rick Ross is cooking?

According to VIBE, it’s a pot of sexy. The rapper was chosen to grace the cover of the magazine’s June ‘Sexy Issue’.

Fierce.

Jennifer Lopez‘s ‘Love’ LP may not be getting much of that from record-buyers, yet that didn’t stop the diva from smiling as she posed for the paps in Hollywood yesterday.

The American Idol judge and husband Marc Anthony were among a number of stars who came out to support television mogul Simon Fuller – who was receiving a star on the icon Walk of Fame.

As if you didn’t know, Lady GaGa‘s ‘Born This Way’ album arrived in stores this week.

The superstar continues her quest to take the record to the top by gracing June’s issue of Rolling Stone magazine.

Randomness: One has to wonder if GaGa’s deep media penetration could lead to over-exposure in the not too distant future? Stil, unlike many who have fallen victim to such fate, the ‘Edge of Glory’ singer actually has the talent to back it up. I say, more power to her.

Ciara lit up the red carpet  in a figure-hugging ensemble at ‘The Hangover II’ premiere in New York City last night. The ‘Ride’ singer is said to be in the final stages of negotiation for a new record deal.

Jennifer Hudson sure is collecting air-miles, as she treks the globe in support of her ‘I Remember Me’ LP. The power-house vocalist is currently in Australia, where she hosted a special Ustream for fans last night.

On the broadcast, Hudson and her backing singers launched into an impromptu rendition of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ (which was recently popularised by Alexandra Burke).

Listen to Jennifer soar in this stirring showing (the vocal of which is also refreshingly refined)…

Amidst her trademark wackiness, it’s easy to forget that Lady GaGa‘s fans are just as ‘out there’ as their idol. Dubbed the monsters, some most certainly looked the part when they showed up at Best Buy‘s ‘Born This Way’ album signing last night in New York.

There the star posed for pics with her adorning admirers, signed LP’s, and was, by all accounts, very GaGa.

Pop force Lady GaGa paid a visit to the Late Show With David Letterman last night, where she continued the agressive promotional push for her new ‘Born This Way’ LP.

Notably more ‘out-there’ than her recent media outings, the eccentric talked about her success, love life, fans, the album, and more. She also, true to form, shocked audience members when she began chewing host Letterman’s notes. Only GaGa.

‘The Oprah Winfrey’ show draws to an end this week – and oh does it go out with a bang. For, superstar Beyonce took to the stage at the star-studded event, treating the talk-show host and the thousands in attendance to an electrifying  performance of new single ‘Run The World (Girls)’.

Today marks the global release of Lady GaGa‘s third studio album ‘Born This Way’.

The last 6 months have seen the Pop eccentric mount an aggressive promotional campaign for the set, which is preceded by chart smashes, ‘Judas’, ‘The Edge of Glory’, and the LP’s title track – which topped the Billboard Hot 100 back in February. And with her label Interscope having shipped 2 million copies of the record to retailers (first week), the 25 year old looks to be onto a winner.

However, as ever, we here at That Grape Juice are eager to look beyond the smoke and mirrors, and find out what you think.

Do you feel GaGa has delivered with ‘Born This Way”? Have you heard LP? Will you be buying?
