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.’

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.

The singer’s summer 2016 hit, ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling,’ may have been snubbed for major recognition at the 2017 Grammys, but it appears Timberlake will have the last laugh as the ‘Trolls’ tune has beat out The Chainsmoker‘s ‘Closer,’ Drake‘s ‘One Dance,’ and even Rihanna‘s massive hit ‘Work’ to lay claim to the title of 2016’s best selling single.
