Britney Spears may be on a break of sorts as she cooks up her next studio album, yet that hasn’t stopped the singer from keeping brand booming.

The 31-year old has teamed up with Pop maestro Dr Luke for new track ‘Ooh La La’ – a new song set to feature on ‘The Smurfs 2’ soundtrack.

Due for an iTunes release next month, the song will reportedly play at the end of the animated movie, which hits theaters in July.

Speaking on the somewhat unlikely pairing, the former X Factor USA judge said:

“I have always loved the Smurfs as a kid and now my boys are the biggest Smurfs fans EVER. I wanted to surprise them with a song in the movie. I know they’ll think it’s Smurftastic!”

Much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ segments, readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.  So in a quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday we introduced a new retrospective segment – ‘TGJ Replay’.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase albums (and eras) from a library of pop music hits.  Next up?  We ode birthday girl Janet Jackson’s (who turns 47 today) classic breakthrough album ‘Control‘.

After the wake of Destiny’s Child disbandment, “Making the Band” winners Danity Kane seemed poised to quickly fill the trio’s “girl group” void.  Armed with all the makings of a diva syndicate (i.e. – actual talent), the fivesome – comprised of Aubrey O’Day, D. Woods, Shannon Bex, Dawn Richard, and Aundrea Fimbres – flew to the top of charts on the wings of songs like ‘Show Stoppers’ and ‘Damaged’.

Despite their successes, the group barely made it out of album #2 before announcement their disbandment.  And, while the likes of O’Day, Richard, and Woods all went on to varying levels of success, fans still longed for the full effect of the quintet.

Well, fans should long no more if reports that surfaced today are to be believed.  Find out what we mean below:

As one of the few Pop stars whose success is hinged on their talent versus sensationalism, it’s not often Pink falls foul of public favour.

However, a sect of fans in Birmingham, England have been laying into the Grammy winning singer after she was forced to postpone her ‘Truth About Love Tour’ stop there after becoming ill.

Fed up with the jibes, the 33-year-old took to her official website to write an open letter. And yes, it’s as warm and witty as you’d think. Check it out after the jump…

A benefit of dominating the charts in the way Justin Timberlake is with ‘The 20/20 Experience’ is that promotion can take place at an almost leisurely rate.

As such, after a brief break from the spotlight, the Soul-Pop crooner stopped by ‘Ellen’ to perform the LP’s latest smash ‘Mirrors’. A global hit, the track rocketed to #1 in the UK (before its video was released),  and recently peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. To date, its parent album has sold 1.5 million copies in the US alone – a feat achieved in less than two months.
