Kevin Hart‘s filmography continues to reach higher ground.
Following the questionable and widely panned effort that was ‘Get Hard‘, the comedian seeks to create and release fun and uplifting content via Hartbeat Productions and Columbia Pictures.
The latter has teamed up with him to reboot the classic movie ‘Jumanji‘ with help from Nick Jonas and Jack Black.
Why fans of the original (which starred Robin Williams) have good reason to look forward to it?

Readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.
So, as our retrospective features ‘From the Vault’ and ‘TGJ Replay’ allow us the chance to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday of one artist, our newest feature Chart Rewind – a variation of our current Retro Rewind assay – accedes salutes to an entire era of music history.
This week we’re showing some love to Mary J. Blige‘s inaugural top 10 ‘Real Love,’ lifted from her debut album, ‘What’s the 411?’ Written by L.A. Reid, the tune – released in August 1992 – had a tough act to follow in the album’s first single, ‘You Remind Me.’ Peaking at #29, ‘Remind’ gave listeners their official introduction to the raspy voiced New Yorker. But, as time would prove, it was only a foretaste of many great things to come.
This week its follow-up, ‘Real Love,’ was hoisted to the top 10 on the back of strong airplay and sales. Finding its peak at #7 on the tally, the feat is all the more impressive given the unrelenting domination of Whitney Houston‘s ‘I Will Always Love You’ during the time.
Tuck in to see who joined Mary and Whitney in the top 25 this week 24 years ago:
Beyonce‘s tap of ‘Lemonade’ continues to pour out the goods.
Still unavailable on any streaming service not named TIDAL, the visual LP has proven a consistent seller. A reality which will likely keep the singer’s 6th set off the Spotify’s and co for the foreseeable.
Still, in a bid to keep its buzz going, the 35-year-old has released the video for ‘All Night’ on to VEVO.
Per radio schedules, it “appears” as though the moving mid-tempo is being serviced as a single of sorts. But given Bey’s out-right album seller focus, we can’t imagine there’ll be much promotional activity surrounding the track.
That said, with an ever buzzing BeyHive in her corner, there’s no doubt this will prove another winner with its views.
Check it out below…
Justin Bieber and DJ Snake called on the expertise of the director James Lee to build the video for the single ‘Let Me Love You.’
Set to elevate the song’s peak position of #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, the visual effort digs deep into the blurred lines which exist between digital fantasies and reality, forcing viewers to rethink their stances on online relationships.

Sadly for Britney Spears, recent album ‘Glory’ enjoyed a chart and single run that was anything but triumphant.
Indeed, though praised for finally injecting authentic “cool” into Brand Britney, sales have been limp and interest waned.
Thankfully for fans of the singer, it appears more newness is on the way.
Full story below…
We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.
In a letter sent to Dr. Clarence Gamble in 1939, Margaret Sanger penned the line above to detail her plans to build ‘The Negro Project’, a collaboration between she and the American Birth Control league to make abortion available to the oppressed African-American community.
How she planned to execute her vision?
It seems to me from my experience…that while the colored Negroes have great respect for white doctors they can get closer to their own members and more or less lay their cards on the table which means their ignorance, superstitions and doubts.
We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal.
Why any of this is relevant today?
The KKK-approved Sanger was the founder of ‘Planned Parenthood’, the organisation Nick Cannon and millions around the world believe uses its healthcare services to reduce the size of minority populations via abortion.

Over 18 years after the release of their history-making hit, ‘The Boy Is Mine,’ fans of R&B divas Brandy and Monica are still pitting the two against each other in online forums and more.
After B-rocka absolutely rocked the Soul Train Awards stage with a medley of her biggest hits(see that here if you missed it), some viewers found Mo’s absence alarming when the melody to the 1998 hit was played. Afterward, as support rang through social media for the 37-year-old songstress, some thought to direct their attention to Mo for alleged “shade” detected during the Soul Train showing (from Bran).
Find out how Mo responded to the hoopla below:
Lady Gaga‘s rise to fame was meteoric to say the least. But, with the adoration of her infectious pop tunes, larger-than-life stage shows, and eccentric costumes came the peril of never being able to “turn the character off.”
“I’d keep the wigs on and keep the makeup on and keep the outfits on. I was always trying — I never wanted to let my fans down. I always wanted them to see me in my art form.”
As if that’s not enough, the ‘Judas’ singer laments how fame has intruded on her private life.
“As soon as I go out into the world, I belong, in a way, to everyone else. It’s legal to follow me. It’s legal to stalk me at the beach. I can’t call the police or ask them to leave. “
After years of being unable to reconcile her two worlds, the balance between “Lady Gaga” (the character) and Stephanie Germanotta (her real life persona), she says, is best represented by who she is now during this – her most recent chart-topping era – ‘Joanne.’

Kylie Minogue is getting in on the festive action.
Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, the seasoned Pop siren has unlocked a brand new Christmas album named ‘Kylie Christmas: Snow Queen Edition.’
On it, the ‘Red Blooded Woman‘ takes on a number of festive classics before she delivers them live at London’s Royal Albert Hall on the 8th, 9th and 10th of December.
Its release has delayed the unveiling of her next studio LP.
I have started work on new material, the way the year’s panned out I won’t have that much time to work on it but my brain’s working overtime. I’m so keen to get what’s in my brain out and turn it into what I hear in my head, make that a reality. So new music is really, consistently on my mind. I’ve opened the door and stepped into the room but I’ve yet to spend as much time there as I look.

Mariah Carey may not want to deem her new E! series a “reality show,” but her real life is certainly playing out like one. Dramatic twists and turns included.
One corner of her life where this is especially apparent is romance. As widely reported, the 46-year-old’s engagement to billionaire James Packer ended in explosive fashion last month.
One of the reasons touted in some reports was Packer’s allegedly disdain for Mimi’s intimate interaction with dancer Bryan Tanaka.
In the time since, Carey – who claims to be all about music and not mess – has been spotted parading up and about with Tanaka. Notably at paparazzi prone restaurants and at her Halloween Party.
Still, no official word has been given on their status (or lack-there-of).
The diva did, however, dish on Tanaka (and her recent split) in a sit-down with Entertainment Tonight to promote ‘Mariah’s World.’
Find out what she had to say about both topics below…
Mariah Carey is renown for being music’s reigning queen of Christmas.
It’s fitting then that she was tapped to close out Disney’s Holiday Special with her festive classic.
Backed by all the expected pomp and pageantry (as well as a handy backing track), Mimi performed ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You.’
How did she do? Find out after the jump…
