The ever-reclusive force that is Lauryn Hill headlined the ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s’ extravaganza in New York City last night (November 13th).

Hosted by actor Michael J Fox (who himself suffers from Parkinson’s disease), the event saw Hill belt out her most loved hits including ‘Doo Wop (That Thing)’ and Fugees smash ‘Killing Me Softly’.

To our surprise here at That Grape Juice, much ado was made about former Destiny’s Child star Latavia Roberson‘s recent re-surfacing. Indeed, a select few have taken aim with her for sharing of the true depths of her story some 11 years after being booted from the group.

With so much He Say/She Say still swirling, yours truly believes it apt to present perhaps the most fair, balanced and well-rounded account of what really went down. Hence, substituting our From The Vault clip this week, will be E!’s 2006 short documentary ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ – which sees first-hand accounts from Latavia, LeToya, and even Farrah Franklin, about their stints in Destiny’s Child. The piece also features sound-bites from Mathew Knowles and other industry figures on the drama that just won’t go away.

“This should take no time” – chides a certain Rihanna during the opening scene of the making of her ‘Loud’ LP.

No surprises there, then. After all, fast food music has its name for a reason. Still, in a quest to showcase McFenty’s “artistic credibility” ‘The Making of Loud’ is set to be bundled with the album – which hits stores on November 16th.

The irony of the whole shabang is that at no point is the model seen writing or contributing anything of substance creatively. Instead, viewers see the full extent of the ‘team’ which goes into the product that is Rihanna (who was filmed smoking before a performance. I have no words).

An interesting watch, therefore, from that standpoint.
