The cat-walk may have been blessed with its fair share of angels, but not even they could perform the miracle of saving the ratings for this year’s ‘Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.’

Tuck in below to see exactly how many tuned in:

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.

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?
