porsha-williams-access-hollywood

After maintaining a silence of sorts, Porsha Williams is speaking up and out about her fight with Real Housewives Of Atlanta cast-mate Kenya Moore.

The stunning reality star sat down with Access Hollywood today to explain her side of the much-publicised brawl, which saw her drag Moore across the floor…literally.

A poised and articulate Williams came across exceptionally well as she detailed the lead-up to the collision (the catalyst of which she says was Kenya’s consistent bullying), as well as the aftermath. Most surprisingly, though, the 31-year-old revealed that ex-husband Kordell Stewart had allegedly been abusive towards her during their marriage.

The must-see interview awaits after the jump…

Powerhouse vocalist Tasha Page-Lockhart has taken the gospel scene by storm since she emerged as champion of BET’s ‘Sunday Best’ season 6.

The daughter of famed gospel songstress Lisa Page Brooks, Page-Lockhart is certainly no stranger to the game at large.  But, with a flair all her own and a dizzying repository of runs and riffs, the Detroit-native has long moved from her famous mom’s shadow.

Now, with new single ‘Different’ taking aim at the Gospel charts’ top spot, the budding gospel diva sat down for an exclusive interview with That Grape Juice to talk about the Kirk Franklin-produced tune, its parent album, and more about her inspiring testimony.

Are you ready to meet the leader of gospel’s freshman class?  The introduction awaits you below:

After a lengthy break on the bench, ‘TGJ Replay’ is back!

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest retrospective segment – a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.  As today marks the 44th birthday of TLC’s lead singer T-BOZ, our latest ‘Replay’ will revisits the group’s 1999 comeback ‘Fanmail.

Though, one would, could, and should be forgiven for wondering why the diva is divulging details, it appears there’s rationale to the randomness.

And the sales are in!

Yes, one week after unlocking the studio effort, the opening week number for August Alsina‘s debut LP ‘Testimony‘ have been released!

This, days after industry outlet ‘Hits Daily Double‘ predicted the star would shift between 50 to 60,000 units following an intense promo run that saw him tackle the press head on with interviews given to outlets from all walks of media life.

Unfortunately, those who placed bets on the sales using ‘Double’s prediction can now consider themselves losers, as he did not move numbers between 50 and 60k mark.

What he did sell?

The fourth and final season of The Boondocks premiered on Adult Swim last night and naturally whipped up a quite the frenzy.

As reported, the show’s creator Aaron McGruder did not return for the series’ penultimate run and has instead moved on to new project – ‘Black Jesus’.

Did this impact the show? And more importantly, has it impacted the perception of the series?

Well, after the Chris Brown-inspired first episode aired, it immediately became apparent that reaction was far from unanimous.
