In degrees, few careers are hotter in Hollywood than Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson’s. So, it’s entirely fitting that the duo have paired up for an comedic action-adventure.

Set to explode into theaters on June 17th, ‘Central Intelligence’ follows a one-time bullied geek who grew up to be a lethal CIA agent (Johnson), coming home for his high school reunion. Insisting he’s on a top-secret case, he calls the help of the former “big man on campus” (Hart), now an accountant who misses his glory days.

Mariah Carey is back!

At least that what it sounded like last night as she kicked off her ‘Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour’ at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland.

The diva, who has in recent years been plagued by critique of her voice, silenced the naysayers by wowing with powerful vocals and slick, stylised staging.

Much to the delight of her Lambs, the superstar also held true to her promise of performing songs that fared better in Europe. Hence, dusted off were ‘When You Believe’ and the still-lit ‘Loverboy.’

For us here at TGJ, the show was extra special because it brought with it what sounds like an entirely live version of ‘We Belong Together’ (for the Mimi-inclined: yes, including the climax).

And, as the clock counts down to the end their run, it’s a practice that continues.

Today brought with it the debut of her new song ‘This Is For My Girls.’

Granted we’d love to see the First Lady give the Pop girls a run for their money, this track doesn’t see her sing.

Instead, she leads a multitude of female stars on the track, which aims to raise awareness for the US government’s #62MillionGirls campaign. Said initiative focusses on seeking help for girls around the world who unable to go to school due to the lack of opportunities.

Penned by the iconic Diane Warren and executive produced by AOL MAKERs, the song – which features the likes of Kelly Rowland, Kelly Clarkson, Missy Elliott, Zendya, and Janelle Monae – is available to listen to below…

When will Christina Aguilera stop playing around and give us the business – namely her new album?

The vocal wonder has been teasing the follow-up to 2012’s ‘Lotus’ for what feels like forever and there still isn’t any concrete confirmation of its arrival beyond an apparent “2016” release.

Still, to whet appetites, Xtina has been showing up and showing out this season on The Voice.

The latest episode was no different.

Forming the centre-piece of an ensemble comprised of fellow coaches Pharrell Williams, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton, the songbird soared with a soulful cover of Stevie Wonder‘s ‘I Wish.’
