Kevin Hart‘s filmography continues to reach higher ground.

Following the questionable and widely panned effort that was ‘Get Hard‘, the comedian seeks to create and release fun and uplifting content via Hartbeat Productions and Columbia Pictures.

The latter has teamed up with him to reboot the classic movie ‘Jumanji‘ with help from Nick Jonas and Jack Black.

Why fans of the original (which starred Robin Williams) have good reason to look forward to it?

Welcome to another edition of Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature launched to celebrate TV and Film’s glorious past.

Today, we revisit Madonna‘s seminal ‘Truth or Dare‘, the documentary she shot while on her ‘Blonde Ambition Tour’ in 1991.

In it, the ‘Bad Girl’ offered fans access to her life on the road, her friendships with members of her team and, more importantly, the truth behind their painful childhoods and how it shaped them as they delivered the show to fans all over the world.

Its moving nature saw the project generate $29,012,935 and go on to inspire Lady GaGa’s ‘Lady GaGa Presents the Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden’ in 2011.

That isn’t all.

The movie also features appearances from Lionel Ritchie, Warren BeattyAntonio Banderas, the “neat” Kevin Costner and…(drumroll) an unforgettable Janet Jackson dig.

Unfortunately, it also showcases some of the crueller parts of the icon’s personality.

How so?

50-cent-wwhl-gay

50 Cent and Vivica Fox dated over 13 years ago, but the fallout flames from their brief relationship continue to burn.

Indeed, they heated all the way up earlier this year when the pair’s respective shows ‘Power’ and ‘Empire’ went head-to-head in the court of public opinion.

During the peak of the pettiness, Fox insinuated the former G-Unit general may be gay – due to his willingness to let her play with his ass-ets. That and his interestingly themed VIBE cover with Soulja Boy.

Now, 50 is responding. Ironically on the same show Aunt Viv made her claims – Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live.

Peep the ‘P.I.M.P’ MC tell his side below…

Scribbled in history books for some good and not-so-good reasons, 2016 brought with it some of modern music’s most memorable moments.

Now, as the year draws to a close, TGJ is reflecting on 31 moments that rocked – and to some degree shaped – the Urban and Pop entertainment landscape as we know it.

Next?  We reflect on how ‘Clueless’ should’ve been the name of Stacey Dash‘s autobiography…

11 years after taking home an Academy Award for his portrayal of music legend Ray Charles in the biographical film ‘Ray,’ singer/songwriter/actor/comedian Jamie Foxx is taking on the role of executive producer for the biopic of another legendary story:  Marvin Gaye.

Coming in the form of a “limited series” about the Motown star, best known for hits ‘What’s Going On,’ ‘Sexual Healing,’ and ‘Let’s Get It On,’ the showing comes as the first authorized recount of his storied life and times.

Billboard reports:

F. Gary Gray, Cameron Crowe, James Gandolfini, Scott Rudin and actors including Jesse L. Martin and Lenny Kravitz all have tried to bring Gaye’s story to screen, but until now none had been authorized by Gaye’s family.

The Alt-Right’s Tomi Lahren made her controversial way to Trevor Noah‘s ‘Daily Show’ last night with hopes of reaching out to those who may have turned off by her views on ‘Black Lives Matter‘, Colin Kaepernick and Beyonce.

Unfortunately, her hopes of doing so were crushed Noah, by way of questions we’d all like answers to, exposed how little the political commentator knows about the topics she often discusses on her platform.
