May 4th marks the spot for singer Ciara.

Her latest collection of jams, ‘Jackie,’ struts into stores on said date and has many buzzing ahead of its arrival.

The hype continues to spike as the masses have yet to hear what else it’s serving up beyond lead single ‘I Bet.’

Now, with just two weeks remaining before the LP’s release, Ci has previewed new track ‘All Good.’ And what better way to sell its dance-ability than with a clip of her 11-month old son Future moving to the beat.

Fun awaits after the jump…

Rihanna may still be scrambling to salvage her new album behind the scenes, however she has no problem wowing with her beauty.

Keri Hilson is coming!

The singer-songwriter hasn’t released an album since 2010’s ‘No Boys Allowed’ and has maintained a relatively low profile in the years that followed.

It appears the hiatus has come to a halt.

It’s no secret that viewers of Lifetime’s shambolic ‘Aaliyah:  The Princess of R&B’ shuddered when greeted with news that the women’s network would tackle an unauthorized biographical account of pop icon Whitney Houston.  While comforted by thoughts that the film’s director, Houston’s ‘Waiting To Exhale’ co-star Angela Bassett, at least knew her personally, the absence of familial support or involvement (just like the Wendy Williams produced affair) discouraged some fans from lending support.

At That Grape Juice, we initially shared that same skepticism.  After one view of the emotional rollercoaster that is Lifetime’s ‘Whitney,’ however, we can say with certainty that this could very well be the TV event of the season.

With the piercing lens on civil rights seemingly at its height yet again some 50 years later, the release of ‘Selma’ – a film depicting the historic Martin Luther King Jr.-led voting-rights march from Selma, Alabama to the state capitol of Montgomery in 1965, couldn’t come at a more opportune time.

That Grape Juice was privy to an advanced screening of the Ava Duvernay film and now offer to you, courtesy of our resident editor Richard Pittman, a review of the movie that we can tell in earnest will be done a great disservice if not decorated with the award golds it so rightly deserves.

It all awaits below:
