“There’s always someone younger and hungrier coming down the stairs after you.”
Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to take our faithful readers on an exciting journey to TV and Film’s glorious past.
Recognise the quote above? That’s because it’s from ‘Showgirls’, the cult classic we’re shining a light on twenty one years after its release.
Where we’re heading for this journey to the past?
Las Vegas…
The Voice has announced two new recruits!
Starting next season, Alicia Keys and Miley Cyrus take a seat on the show’s spinning chairs.
Details below…
Have you been in serious need of a Mimi Faust, Karlie Redd, Rasheeda, or Joseline Hernandez fix? Well, if you’re like us, you answered that question with a very loud “yes.”
Thankfully, VH1 is revving up the ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta’ promo for its highly anticipated season 5 premiere. Blasting onto televisions April 4th at 8/7c, tuck in below to get your ratchet reality appetite its wettest and find out the latest happenings of the Atlanta gang of #LHH…
The day has come for Zayn Malik.
Debut solo album ‘Mind Of Mine’ has marched into stores and is poised to sell north of 200,000 copies.
With today’s streaming age in full effect and on-demand plays now a factor in chart placements, the former One Direction singer is harnessing his power in that realm by unveiling the video for promotional song ‘BeFoUr’ (his spelling not ours).
Grittier than previous efforts ‘Pillow Talk’ and ‘It’s You,’ the visual pays aesthetic homage to his British beginnings.

For many, Kelly Rowland‘s career has been a frustrating one to observe.
Undeniably one of today’s stronger vocalists, a supposed lack of creative direction and all the logistical problems sharing a manager with Beyonce might bring are often cited as two reasons the gifted star was often overlooked at the beginning of her solo journey.
Now, she seeks to carve a new lane for herself via the show ‘Chasing Destiny‘, teaming up with her longtime friend and creative director Frank Gatson to build a group they’ll lead to Destiny’s Child-flavoured glory.
So, to honour of the journey Rowland will pull from to mentor her members, TGJ celebrates her criminally overlooked ‘Simply Deep.’
After her last album ‘Point of No Return’ lived up to its title on the Billboard 200, ‘Heaven Sent’ songbird Keyshia Cole is undoubtedly looking to regain R&B prominence with her 7th official release.
With buzz around the project already brewing after rumors swirled the singer was signing to Columbia Records, Cole took to Instagram to turn the heat up on said buzz by announcing its official first single.

Just like old habits, it seems old feuds ‘die hard.’
For, in just a matter of months, a nearly 20 year feud between top-selling divas Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey has reignited and seen the two labeled as fierce rivals yet again.
Indeed, after J.Lo recently offered (what some considered) a shady rundown of the catalyst of the feud, Carey chimed in to remind fans she still ‘doesn’t know her.’
Now, fast forward a few weeks, Jenny from the Block is back on the defense reminding fans that she has no beef with the ‘Obsessed’ singer after Lambs e-attacked her over a shady tweet-gone-viral.
Details inside:
Fans of the TV series ‘Criminal Minds’ will be disappointed to learn the actor Shemar Moore has decided to leave the show this week.
Full story (and spoilers) below…
With Gwen Stefani set to top the charts with her third studio album, this week’s From The Vault pick salutes a Gwen gem from her first LP.
Cue ‘Cool’ from ‘Love.Angel.Music.Baby.’
Serviced as the fourth cut from the blockbuster project, the New Wave inspired track was released in 2005.
Produced by Nellee Hooper and Dallas Austin, the latter also co-wrote the song with Stefani.
While ‘Cool’ only reached Top 40 status overseas, was a hit in the US peaking at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #9 on the Pop tally.
The lyrics pull from real life in its centring on Gwen’s relationship with No Doubt-bandmate and former-bae Tony Kanal and how (after the ups and the challenges of life) they’ve remained more than colleagues but good friends too.
Sophie Muller helmed the video, which was shot in Lake Como, Italy and features the singer playing opposite Spanish actor Daniel Gonzàlez — and Erin Lokitz… who happens to be Kanal’s girlfriend.
It plays like a literal, yet creative take on the song’s resonating lyrics.
*************
After a series of missteps, Team Gwen finally seem to have things in check and we couldn’t be happier. For, Ms Stefani is among the few artists who rose to prominence during the golden age of the 90s but somehow still possess all that is “required” to be successful in todays climate.
Hopefully the next chapter of her solo run is as colorful, captivating and game-changing as her first swing of the bat.
Welcome to another edition of ‘Retro Rewind‘, the TGJ original feature launched to celebrate TV and Film’s glorious past.
Today, our journey takes us to 1997. Our destination? ‘B*A*P*S’, the New Line Cinema movie starring Halle Berry.
The movie tells the tale of two young women who become ‘Black American Princesses’ after auditioning for a music video in Los Angeles to raise money for the hair salon/soul food spot they hope to create.
It isn’t long before their trip to the West Coast sees them thrown into a sinister plot to milk a millionaire’s fortune.
Unfortunately, it failed to recoup its 10 million dollar budget after its release (it picked up $7,338,229) but, as many will agree, worked wonders for Berry’s diverse filmography.
It’s here!
Ariana Grande follows the soaring live showing of new song ‘Be Alright’ on Saturday Night Live last week with the release of its studio incarnation today.
The euphoric anthem is lifted from ‘Dangerous Woman,’ her third studio album (due May 20th via Republic Records) and was released to iTunes moments ago.
Really, though. What are you waiting for? A bodacious bop awaits after the jump…
Did Mel B call her Spice Girls sibling Victoria Beckham a b****?
Yes…yes she did.
Why?
