Fans have been getting quite the view of ‘Baby Boy’ singer Beyonce and baby bump as she’s made her rounds.  While many-a-murmur has accompanied the pregnancy since its unveiling at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, none more so the sex of the expected baby Carter.

In a revealing sit-down with Katie Couric, Bey may just be ready to deliver the news so many have been waiting for. Check out your preview after the jump:

Fashionista/femcee Lil’ Kim is back in a big way with ‘I Am Not the One’ – the latest Itune single from the rap Queen Bee.  Formerly Hip Hop’s female frontrunner, the diva now finds herself trying to catch up with the likes of another rapping wigged wonder.  Yet, while busting Paypal charts wide open with her most recent release, such presence has yet to translate into Billboard placements.  But, with new music on the horizon, that maybe set to change.

Is ‘I Am Not the One’ the one Kim needs for a hit? You decide after the jump:

‘Try With Me’ songstress Nicole Scherzinger may have seen her tries for Billboard chart entry fall on deaf ears, but where most may not be listening, they are certainly watching.  For, in more ways than one, the X Factor judge is finding spectators enamored with her assets and x factors.

So, while ‘Killer Love’ may be on its deathbed, Scherzinger is showing off her killer body in December’s ‘Shape Magazine’ and visual arts book Culo by Raphael Mazzucco (November 22).  While the former is set to put Scherzinger’s physique on display, the latter is…umm…going to bring up the rear.

See what we mean after the jump *cue Big Sean*:

While Coldplay‘s ‘Princess of China’ featuring pop princess Rihanna has fallen from reign in Billboard’s upper half,  the impressive debut of her assisted Drake cut ‘Take Care’ (the title track from his #1 album) at number 9 and ‘We Found Love’ still at number 1 have kept the islander a mainstay in the top 20.  As of the refreshing of the tally tomorrow, the cuts will be joined by a third party – ‘You Da One’ – as it blasts from 73-14.

Following the Barbadian’s triple chart check is comeback queen Christina Aguilera who plays assistant to two top 10 cuts as ‘Moves Like Jagger’ moves down to number 6 and her assistance on Flo Rida‘s ‘Good Feeling’ sits at #8.

Yet, while Adele‘s reign on the album charts top 10 just won’t let up, no other diva has dominated the Billboard charts like Katy Perry.  Her album has struggled to hit double platinum, but her singles are double placing on singles chart with her latest ‘The One That Got Away’ now sitting in the top 10 (at #10).  The sixth top 10 single from this album, the last album to accomplish such feat was Janet Jackson‘s ‘janet’ album in 1993-1994.  And, with five #1 singles from one album, Perry not only sets a record for females, but also threatens to best a single’s record set by Janet’s pop icon brother Michael Jackson.

Looks like gal pals Rihanna and Katy have a new reason to cheer.  Both album sales may fail, but Itune purchases prevail.

Ever on the rebound, ‘Genie In a Bottle’ belter Christina Aguilera is bringing a new bottled fragrance, ‘Secret Potion’, to the masses. The follow up to her ‘By Night‘ and ‘Royal Desire‘ scents, the fragrance marks ‘Brand Xtina’s’ latest foray into fragrance.   With pretty much every diva who’s recently graced the Billboard charts also lining fragrance shelves (see:  Rihanna, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, etc), the Grammy winner joins a line of songstresses attempting to embrace consumers on ‘Black Friday’.

In a bid to get a headstart on the competition, today the pop singer unveiled the behind-the-scenes look at the sexy ad for the scent.  While we’ve already shown you the finished product here, see Aguilera in action after the jump:

Grammy winning, multiplatinum diva Toni Braxton is enjoying a reignited career with the monstrous success of WeTV’s ‘Braxton Family Values’.  No time to rest on laurels, the eldest Braxton daughter is under new management and already working on new projects – including an album, rumored Broadway shows, and possibly films.

Still making promo rounds for the hit reality show, the R&B vet recently dropped by Essence magazine to tackle topics of ex-husband Keri Lewis, sibling Tamar Braxton, why Mark Wahlberg is her ideal “snowman”, and why she’s been absent for many of the Braxtons’ earlier promotional appearances.

As ever, Braxton is brazen in her responses.  Check after the jump for the read:

This past Sunday saw 20-year-old pop belter Jojo lend her soaring vocals to the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ at the MLS Cup Final in California.  While this wouldn’t mark the first time the diva-in-training put her soulful spin on the historic number, this most recent event saw a more subdued display of the her ever-maturing vocals.

How did she fare?  Be the judge after the jump:

Following the release of her sophomore set ‘No Boys Allowed‘, Keri Hilson has risen to become one of music’s leading staples- slowly but surely cementing her status as the current go to girl for mid tempo Contemporary R&B.

However, despite her undeniable success and new found notoriety ,she still finds herself coming under criticism for having what some might call an ‘off attitude’.

While we here at That Grape Juice wholeheartedly  disagree with that stance (she’s nice to us every time we see her), there are some who- quite unfairly- put their dislike for  her down to her alleged ‘beef’ with fellow belter Beyonce.

Now peep this video sent to us by a reader this evening and let us know what you think about it…
