Fergie has lifted the lid on the video for new single ‘Life Goes On.’

The breezy mid-tempo is the latest taste of the Black Eyed Peas belle’s long-awaited sophomore album ‘Double Duchess.’

Set for release next year, the LP comes after a somewhat staccato campaign that dates back to 2014’s ‘L.A. Love (La La).’

With this year’s ‘M.I.L.F Money’ creating a respectable buzz, can Fergie-Ferg fly to higher heights?

Forget Santa, because Mariah Carey is fast becoming most synonymous with mainstream Christmas.

Building on the annual revival of her classic smash ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You,’ Mimi has parlayed her affiliation with the holiday into big business.
Indeed in recent years she’s established a yearly festive concert series, released a Christmas movie, and issued a sequel to her mega-selling Xmas LP.

Now, she’s made a triumphant return to James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke for a sing-a-long like no other. All in the name of…you guess it…Christmas.

Over the course of 2016, Corden taped a host of notable names singing Carey’s hit; names such as Adele, Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani, Selena Gomez, and more.

Watch all the fun after the jump…

Justin Timberlake has a new reason to “dance dance dance,” a new year-end report reveals.
