With a storied decade long career that boasts an impressive co-star tally featuring the likes of rockers Bono and Paul McCartney, it seems Grammy-winning pop diva Rihanna is no stranger to working with some of music’s biggest legends.
Arguably en route to such status herself, if recently surfaced reports are to believed, the Bajan beauty is ready to pencil another name in her growing list – Prince.
See how and why via the report below:
Welcome to TGJ Replay!
Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest reflective segment to act as a written quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday. Unlike its retrospective predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (anderas) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.
Now, as fans continue to enjoy ‘Living It’ – the fifth full length studio album from the legendary Dorinda Clark-Cole (released February 17th), we take it back to 2002 when the gospel diva first put her heels on the beaten path to solo success.
It all awaits below:

Lady GaGa‘s status as one of Pop’s hardest workers is no dream sequence. It’s reality.
The ‘Bad Romance’ belter has only just come off the road from ‘The ARTPOP Ball’ world tour, yet is still promoting Grammy winning Jazz effort ‘Cheek To Cheek’ with Tony Bennett and recording the follow-up too 2013’s ‘ARTPOP’.
As reported, the latter has seen her return to the studio with longtime parter in rhyme RedOne.
News that Mother Monster had re-teamed with the creator of ‘Romance’, ‘Just Dance’ and many of her other hits, delighted fans in earnest – given their lengthy “break” from one another and the climate of expectation awaiting the singer’s next project.
Unlike previous LP’s, GaGa has been notable in her (relative) silence about the creation of this, her fifth, set.
RedOne, however, has – in a new interview – shared a morsel of info about their reunion and their process of recording.

If there’s any singer well equipped to make to masses wake up and pay attention it’s Jazmine Sullivan.
The vocal powerhouse showed and proved why she enjoys such status with a rousing performance on Good Morning America yesterday.
Backed by a full band, the critically acclaimed belter delivered a solid showing of ‘If You Dare’ from new album ‘Reality Show’.
Watch her rock out below…
Hours before his ‘Motivation‘ collaborator Kelly Rowland sizzled at the 8th annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood luncheon, Trey Songz welcomed Meek Mill to the stage during the latest showing of his ‘Between the Sheets Tour.‘
The pair rocked out for fans at the Wells Fargo Center, doing so as Songz gears up for the release of his ‘Trigga: Reloaded’ project and as Mill’s latest girlfriend, the rapper Nicki Minaj, stepped out in style with fashion designer Marc Jacobs.

Lil Wayne isn’t the only Hip Hop titan facing legal drama this year.
For this week has welcomed the arrival of developments in ongoing legal palava in the lives of Jay Z and ‘Stan’ lyricist Eminem.

2015 hasn’t set off to the best of starts for Pop feline Nicole Scherzinger.
For, it appears the singer isn’t only severing ties in her private life but also in her professional endeavours.
Details below…
FOX’s wildly popular new show ‘Empire’ has breathed life anew into the career of television star Malik Yoba. Best known for leading the channel’s former flagship series ‘New York Undercover,’ fans of the hit 90’s show (and ‘Empire’ alike) were so sure that the veteran actor had been off TV’s radar since the show’s unceremonious end – a belief Yoba wholeheartedly shuns.
From memorable showings on Tyler Perry‘s ‘Why Did I Get Married’ movie franchise to at least 12 other showings across television, he’s been far from out of sight over the past two decades. And, if our exclusive chat with the star is any indication, we should expect to see much more of him in the near future.
Tuck in below as Yoba dishes with TGJ editor Rashad on ‘Empire’s success, its critical backlashes (see: alleged “gay agenda,” poor representation of African Americans), and much more.
Never one to bite his tongue, it’s safe to say Malik Yoba made this a “must read”:
Looks, as they say, can be deceiving.
Indeed, in an age where almost anyone can access the tools to turn an amateur painting into a Picasso, it should come as no surprise that said tools care oft used to do just that…deceive.
Today, the ‘Story of Beauty’ singer Beyonce has learned how true that is after photoshopped images of herself surfaced online, pulled from a L’Oreal campaign she shot in 2013.
The star can be seen sporting a “weathered” look in the snaps, allegedly leaked by a fan who gained access to them before the photoshopping process.
Fortunately, it’s now emerged that the alleged “real snaps” aren’t real at all, edited to make the star look for worse for wear, seeing her join a long list of celebrities to be hit by creative photoshop wizards.
The star is yet to respond to the surfacing of the falsified photos.
Peep more counterfeit (but hilarious) snaps of the entertainer below…

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest reflective segment to act as a written quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday. Unlike its retrospective predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.
Now, as fans ready themselves for the muchly anticipated follow-up to R&B diva Kelly Rowland‘s ‘Talk A Good Game,’ we reflect on the album that really put her on the genre’s map by her lonesome – ‘Ms. Kelly.’
“‘I wrote a lot on this album and I’ve had a wonderful time recording it. It’s a feelgood record; very intimate. It’s a sneak peak into my mind and heart. I listened to a lot of Whitney Houston for her vocals. I love her. I love Beyoncé’s voice, and I love Brandy. Those are three vocalists who inspire me. I love how different they are. I love how they take themselves to the next level.'” – Kelly Rowland, 2006
Join us as we flashback to 2007…
With years of lending controversial ideas on racially charged topics (see: Travyvon Martin, “absent black fathers,” and more), 71-year-old Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera has once again found himself in the line of Twitter fire for his assessment that hip hop has been “more damaging to black and brown people over the past 10 years” than the institution of racism itself.
Taking to HuffPost Live, Rivera – who lost the ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ crown this week to fellow journalist/former talk show host Leeza Gibbons – appears to have lost his mind as well when he argued, “Hip-hop has done more damage to black and brown people than racism in the last 10 years.” Expounding, he asserted it’s impossible to “…find a youngster — a Puerto Rican from the South Bronx or a black kid from Harlem who has succeeded in life other than being the one-tenth of one-tenth of one percent that make it in the music business — that’s been a success in life walking around with his pants around his ass and with visible tattoos.”
His comments have incited a host of ongoing debates on social media, but as always, we turn to you – That Grape Juice readers – to ask:
Is Geraldo Rivera right?
Omarion is to make his way to the UK next month, signing up to headline his very own concert in the market in a bid to push his latest project overseas.
Good news for the singer’s British fans below…
