Despite rising to ‘fame’ as the Roxy to Rihanna‘s Pizzazz, Mellisa Forde seems to have convinced herself that the world cares about both she and her opinions.

A little harsh on our part? Perhaps. However, perhaps in forgetting her place as the ‘No Love Allowed‘ singer’s full time shadow, last night saw her take subtle aim at Grammy winning Pop Princess, Ciara and her stunning new cut ‘Body Party’.

An aim, many of the latter’s fan base took offence to on the social networking site Twitter.

Comedian Kevin Hart sure stays busy.

The Real Husbands of Hollywood star is gearing up for the theatrical release of ‘Let Me Explain’ – a movie based on his ten country comedy tour of the same name.

Having sold-out London’s O2 Arena and grossing upwards of $30 million in total, Hart looks poised to multiply his earnings with this big-screen run. More power to him.

‘Let Me Explain’ hits US theaters on July 3rd. Before then, check out the “banned from TV” trailer above. The infamous “deerbra” makes an appearance.

It’s hard to believe now, but two years have passed since Marvel served ‘X-Men: First Class‘ to the world via ‘Layer Cake’ genius Mathew Vaughn.

Now, before ‘X-Men: The Wolverine‘ is set to drop July 26th, Halle Berry-who played Storm in the original flick- has confirmed that she is to reprise her role as the white haired wonder for forthcoming effort, ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past‘.

Set for launch on 18th July 2014, the Bryan Singer directed flick will also star the majority of the brand’s original cast, which includes ‘Les Miserables’ Hugh Jackman and HBO‘s golden girl Anna Paquin, who now enjoys household name status following the launch of the networks’ bloody series, ‘True Blood’.

On heading back to Marvel, Berry told Access Hollywood:

“I am excited. I love Storm. That’s one of my favourite characters that I’ve played. And people love that character as well.”

One is an R&B royal, the other an R&B heir. Yet together, Brandy and Luke James serve as two of the genre’s most exciting prospects.

Still on the promotional trail for their respective projects, the pair were interviewed by our friends over at The Skorpion Show this  past weekend.

The super candid chat saw James dish on his recent Grammy nomination and shocking people with his voice, while B-Rocka spilled on ‘Two Eleven‘s next single, upping her performing game, and feeling like Sasha Fierce!

With a new single soaring at radio and her stock higher than ever, Kelly Rowland‘s new album title ‘Talk A Good Game’ couldn’t be more apt.

The former frontman of the Pharell backed ‘NLT’, the 23 year old singer/songwriter steps even further into the spotlight with the release of the ‘Fashionably Late Vol.II‘ EP, executive produced Usher contributors, the ‘Stereotypes‘.

With a voice the likes of JoJo, Ryan Seacrest, Ne-Yo and Ron Fair have all fallen in love, Travis is one act we here at TGJ have been excited about for while and hope you’ll understand why when you check out his material.

Seriously, this is one new act you do not want to miss out on.
