There are no if’s, but’s, or maybe’s when it comes to how seriously Beyonce takes her craft. However, in a hilarious new clip, the industry’s top stage blazer shows that she’s able to laugh at herself when things go awry.
While performing set-closer ‘Halo’ at the Montreal stop of ‘The Mrs. Carter Show’ last night, the diva’s luscious locks became entangled in her trademark wind-machine. What followed was a vocally on-point, yet super “static” rendition of the track.
Check out the fan-footage below, where King B’s Instragram response also awaits…

That Grape Juice was one of select outlets on hand for a private screening of the summer’s newest action blockbuster ‘R.I.P.D.’ days before its July 19th premiere.
The Robert Schwentke-directed flick boasts an all-star leading cast comprised of veteran actor Jeff Bridges, Hollywood heartthrob Ryan Reynolds, and Mary Louise Parker (‘Weeds’). Recently deceased Nick Walker (Reynolds) is recruited to join an after-life crime fighting agency called the RIPD, who hunt and arrest souls or “deados” who escape eternal damnation. With the help of partner Roy Pulsifer (Bridges), the duo uncover a diabolical plot to rebuild an ancient artifact that could trigger the apocalypse. Together they comb the city of Boston in an effort to stop the end of the world.
If you’re in the mood for a metaphysical trip down ‘Men in Black’ lane, then ‘R.I.P.D’ is set to fancy. There are definitely some laugh out loud moments as well as some moments that reveal larger questions. It comes stock with rookie cop vs. veteran, good vs. evil, and witty, comedic writing to boot.
The chemistry the twosome imparted to movie screens was not by no means absent when they were on hand this week at New York’s Mandarin Hotel for an exclusive press conference. Chatting exclusively to a room of tastemakers, critics, and more – That Grape Juice was on hand to get the skinny on the film including their inspiration behind pursuing the roles, the physical preparation and demand of the action sequences, and so much more!
‘Friend of Mine’, ‘As We Lay’, and ‘You Should’ve Told Me’ are just a few of many memorable titles that have propelled R&B belle Kelly Price to prominence. Wooing music lovers into a nearly two decade long love affair with her vocal stylings (decorated with melisma, belts, and oft-lauded range), 2013, however, has proven the range of Price’s talents – as evidenced by two new television ventures – does not rest behind the microphone alone.
Chatting exclusively to That Grape Juice, the ‘Himaholic’ hitmaker dishes on her starring role in TV One’s new hit show ‘R&B Divas: LA’, new music, reality show ‘Too Fat For Fame’, and so much more. As ever, you won’t want to miss this:

Back in 2008, Urban Pop hit maker Keri Hilson came under intense fire when lyrics she penned for the song ‘Turnin’ Me Off‘ were allegedly aimed at ‘Bow Down’ performer Beyonce.
Though the negative press she received as a result did nothing to silence her success as a commercial act, they did go some way to sully Hilson’s image within the Urban arena…billed the ‘Big Bad’ to Beyonce‘s Buffy.
Now, in a shock and unsettling move, her long time collaborator Timbaland has revealed that she has joined him in penning a song- which sees them apologise to Beyonce and her husband Jay Z.

Now, after watching its first week sales amount to 8,600 units in the US, the Rapper has taken to Kanya King‘s MOBO to share her thoughts on the release and its panned sales.
