For over eight years, Phaedra Parks was an integral part of Bravo hit the ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta.’

However, a colossal clash with former bestie Kandi Burruss saw the attorney ousted from the show in 2017.

Recent times have seen fans rally for her return – with even  Nene Leakes joining in the calls.

In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Parks addressed her drama with Burruss, the possibility of a comeback, and more.

Emeli Sande is digging deep and sharing some of her most personal layers yet on forthcoming album ‘Real Life.’

Due September 13th, the set is the songbird’s first studio album in three years and embeds within some of the BRIT Award winner’s most resonating lyrics to date.

That Grape Juice caught up with the star, whose new single ‘Shine’ is out today, to discuss the journey of producing the project; one she says began with a trip to her father’s homeland of Zambia. 

The candid chat with TGJ’s Jacqueline Shepherd also saw Sande wax honest about overcoming a “poverty of confidence,” wanting to work with Afrobeats titan Burna Boy, and her upcoming ‘Real Life Tour.’

‘The Real Housewives Of Potomac’ have been setting off all sorts of fireworks with their fourth season. 

Past instalments have seen etiquette serve as the center of conflict. However, the show’s latest cycle has seen the drama between the Maryland matriarchs escalate like never before.

‘Potomac’ staples Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Ashley Darby, Robyn Dixon, and Monique Samuels are back in the mix — as is last season’s addition Candiace Dillard. Familiar face Katie Rost has returned in a “Friend Of” capacity.

Thus far, the show’s fourth outing has made for gripping viewing – so much so that many have pegged it the best Housewives franchise thus far this year.

And, per a newly released midseason trailer, there’s still a whole lot more to come.

Could we be bearing witness to the comeback of Katy Perry?

After her ill-received fifth studio album, 2017’s ‘Witness,’ the 34-year-old took to press just 8 months ago to announce she was taking an extended break from music to focus on other ventures (see: shoe line, ‘American Idol,’ family, etc.).  That break was short-lived as by the end of May she was unveiling news of her single, ‘Never Really Over’ – an announcement met with surprising fanfare.

Just a day after the May 31 premiere of its accompanying, Philippa Price-directed music video the tune had already zoomed to the top 10 of iTunes and Spotify respectively.  Dominating radio with a historic opening week (as we reported here), a full week of streaming (15.8 million) added to the the handsome mix of sales (31,000) and radio airplay has proven itself lucrative for the Zedd-produced cut as it made its Hot 100 debut at #15.

Gifting the songstress the 19th top 20 hit of her career, ‘Over’ is her best charting effort since 2017’s ‘Chained to the Rhythm’ peaked at #4 on the Hot 100.  As we extend our congrats to Katy, look inside to see who joined her in the top 25 on this week’s TGJ Chart Check:

The rumor mill swirled no shortage of reports that ‘Jealous’ star DJ Khaled was incensed at news his latest album, ‘Father of Asahd,’ failed to nab the top spot of the Billboard 200 (unlike its predecessors – 2016’s ‘Major Key’ and 2017’s ‘Grateful’ respectively).

Like we reported here, ‘Asahd’ – despite its guest list of heavy hitters and padding its first week sales with a merchandise bundle – still came in second place to Tyler, the Creator‘s critically acclaimed album, ‘IGOR.’  The upset was all the more shocking as the latter set had no Billboard Hot 100 top 40 singles to precede its arrival, unlike that of Khaled’s.

Our friends at Page Six first broke the story that Khaled was “fuming” at his label, Epic Records, after losing out to Tyler and reportedly was “yelling” and throwing a “temper tantrum.” Later, the 43-year-old uploaded a video (that’s now deleted) that may not confirm his tantrum at Epic, but at least suggests he felt some kinda way about Tyler’s triumph.
