Although Britney shot promos for the VMAs, we’re told the real gold is Michael Jackson. Sources close to the awards tell us MTV honchos have been working OT to get Jacko to reappear at the awards.

We’re told a deal is as good as sealed to have MJ present an award with sister Janet. {Source}

With Michael’s 50th birthday just days away, a high profile appearance at the show really isn’t far-fetched. Here’s hoping they do in fact appear.

Recently, ‘Slow Dance’, a new cut from Keri Hilson’s hotly anticipated album ‘In A Perfect World’ surfaced. Produced by Polow Da Don (and co-written by Justin Timberlake), it comes as no surprise, then, that the song bares slight resemblance to Ciara’s ‘Promise’ – also produced by the Atlanta hit-maker.

The son of legendary rap producer Dr Dre has been found dead at his home in Woodland Hills on Saturday morning.

Andre Young Jr., 20, was unresponsive when his mother went to check on him around 10 A.M., calling 911 to alert paramedics.

Young’s cause of death is pending completion of a toxicology report.

His father, Andre Young Sr, is better known to the world as “Dr. Dre”, an award winning producer who shot to fame as a pioneer of the influential gangsta rap group NWA, and becoming co-owner of West Coast record label Death Row records.

Later, he became popular for his discovery and production for white rap artist Eminem.

Condolences to Dr Dre and his family, in what is no doubt a deeply troubling time. {Source}

There is no doubt that all eyes will be on this release for many a reason, not least because of her superstar sibling.

I’m really feeling Solange’s everything this go-round. Having become well acquainted with the album, I must say she is serving up a very solid effort. More power to her.

That said, That Grape Juice wants to know if you’ll be picking up ‘Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams’…
