Ne-Yo is putting the poly drama behind him and pressing play on new music.

Though currently blazing North American stages as a special guest on Mary J. Blige‘s critically acclaimed ‘For My Fans Tour,’ the R&B crooner (born Shaffer Smith) is also reportedly putting the finishing touches on his next album – the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Self Explanatory.’

Presumed to be the latest taste of music set to line the tracklist is ‘I Don’t Need That.’

“It be calling me when I think about you naked / it be tempting, hard to shake / but I don’t need that,” he sings about being under the spell of a toxic woman.

Though many were bummed Cynthia Erivo didn’t walk away with the Best Actress Academy Award on Sunday night (March 2) for her showing as “Elphaba” in the blockbuster 2024 film ‘Wicked,’ fans can certainly find solace in boasting her soaring performance was easily the best of the night.

And while most continue to praise her stunning live rendition of movie’s signature song ‘Defying Gravity,’ her take on ‘The Wiz‘ classic ‘Home‘ is deserving of just as much adulation; just ask Stephanie Mills.

‘Mickey 17’ has the masses buzzing!

The seismic Sci-Fi flick, which is anchored by Robert Pattinson and directed by Bong Joon-ho, relays the compelling tale of what happens when a scientific glitch spotlights what it means to be…alive.

Serving as an adaptation of the Sci-Fi novel ‘Mickey7’ by Edward Ashton, the movie chronicles the story of Mickey Barnes (the titular character played by Pattinson).

Billed as an “expendable,” he functions as a disposable employee on a human voyage sent to colonize the icy world of Niflheim.

Taking on several dangerous tasks, his body regenerates itself (with memories intact) as – by design and assignment – he is not expected to survive each activity.

Yet, the story takes a rivetting turn when Mickey 17 is erroneously presumed deceased and meets his replacement Mickey 18. The problem? Two versions of the same being are not permitted to exist at the same time.

Ahead of its March 7 theatrical release, That Grape Juice sat down with the film’s stars Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, and Toni Collette who opened up in earnest about creating ‘Mickey 17.’
