Included in the line-up were divas Mariah Carey and Lady GaGa, who both earned rapturous applause from the studio audience.

It’s been no secret that since Hollywood heartthrob Ashton Kutcher replaced Charlie Sheen on the hit series Two And A Half Men a few years ago that the veteran actor hasn’t exactly been pleased with the decision.

Constantly taking to Twitter to offer critiques or voice his disapproval of Kutcher’s performance, it seems the former ‘That 70s Show’ actor had enough and took to Kimmel to lend Sheen a word of advice (as seen above).

Once word reached Sheen, he offered an official apology…then threatened to hospitalize Kutcher for telli.

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

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ segments, ‘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 this weekend marks the 10th anniversary of her epic Super Bowl showing, today’s ‘Replay’ revisits ‘Damita Jo‘ – the ensuing era of pop icon Janet Jackson.

Responsible for many a cool sound spawned by Beyonce, Brandy, Usher and Kelly Rowland, Rico Love’s habit of building R&B music that transcends genre lines has brought him more success than most maybe aware of.

Now, in an interview with ‘The Feature Presentation‘, the ‘Sweet Dreams‘ producer has detailed his journey to the top, going a long way help aspiring creatives understand the lucrative business that is music publishing, soundtrack building and his enviable arrangement with Jimmy Iovine‘s ‘Interscope.’

The above, being one of the reasons we’ve billed this interview a ‘must see.’
