ABC’s ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ has become a TV phenomenon since blazing on to the box last Fall.

Beyond its captivating story-lines and the performances of its ensemble cast, it’s received ample praise for its edgier lean. Something largely attributable to Jack Falahee‘s character, Connor Walsh.

Subverting the expected portrayal of gay characters, Walsh’s racy antics has been the subject of ample debate – as has the network’s decision to air such scenes.

Unsurprisingly, the interest surrounding the Connor character has led to speculation about the orientation of Falahee himself.

Prior to now, the rising star has maintained an air of silence on the matter. However, he shattered it today with a piercing set of quotes in the latest issue of OUT Magazine – which he also covers.

10 million albums in the US. 190 million singles worldwide.

For Rihanna, the last decade might be described as a dream come true, rising from potential one hit wonder status in 2005 to heights some might argue are iconic, now considered competition by artists she once considered heroes.

So, ever keen to keep to let you know what’s been on our minds, we’re dedicating this edition of That Grape Juice A&R to Riri’s eighth studio album!

In 2015, the author has revealed that she is to release the book’s sequel, doing so following the murders of African-American teenagers Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown, whose deaths have oft been linked to the book’s slamming of racism.

Broadcast on this very day in 2004, Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake closed – what was otherwise an epic Super Bowl showing – with a five second incident that literally changed the face of television forever.  Not only television, but the career of the show’s leading lady.

While Timberlake arose from the media ashes unscathed and enjoying even higher successes some ten years later, the misadventure led Jackson, a pop icon whose catalog and stage presence combined have arguably yet been matched, down a road to blacklist of almost unrecoverable heights.

By now, you know the story of “Nipple-gate,” as it was affectionately coined, in its totality.  So, instead of focusing on the enormity of its backlash – a backlash, mind you, that’s still seeing its repercussion directly or indirectly impacting decisions made today regarding live television – let’s focus on words from the horses’ mouths.

As we prepare for Katy Perry‘s sure-to-be-epic Super Bowl showing, let’s rewind to 2004 to hear Janet and Justin’s thoughts on “Nipple-gate” and the event that birthed the phrase “wardrobe malfunction”:
