Arriving to receive the honour in the company of close friends and family, hours ago saw the seasoned entertainer arrive at Hollywood Boulevard to pose alongside said Star and thank all who had helped her to turn her dreams into her oft celebrated reality.

Pint sized funny man Kevin Hart is doing big things.

After giving BET some of its best ratings with 2013’s ‘Real Husbands of Hollywood’, the comedian returns to the big screen for the follow-up to 2011’s hit ‘Laugh At My Pain’.  Titled ‘Let Me Explain’, the film – like ‘Pain’ – documents the happenings from one of Hart’s successful concert tours, namely the 2012 “Let Me Explain” concert tour, which spanned 10 countries and 80 cities.

Fresh from announcing his new tour, Drake keeps his promo game popping with a brand new GQ cover.

Renown for his diet-bravado approach to being a “rapper”, the multi-Platinum MC tells the publication of his laxed stance when it comes to the critics and why he is (literally) keeping it real.

Now, before you get totally taken with that Colgate smile and pleasantries, the Canadian star also waxes honest about his “beef” with Chris Brown – suggesting that things could get more heated under right (or should we say, wrong) circumstances.

Beyonce and Jay Z rubbed shoulders with many a celeb pal last night, as they celebrated the 10th anniversary of the latter’s ’40/40′ Club in NYC.

Arriving at the exclusive spot after scoring a number of respective wins, the influential pair enjoyed the company of Kylie Minogue, T.I., Adrienne Baillon, Robert Kraft and former ‘Real Housewife of New York’ Bethenny Frankel.

Britney Spears has been relatively quiet as of late, but oh is she keeping busy.

The Pop force has been diligently cooking up her eighth studio album, which has already been ordained one of music’s most anticipated releases. Indeed, the follow-up to 2011’s ‘Femme Fatale’ has been the subject of much speculation – from who’s working on it (beyond will.i.am) to when it’ll be arriving.

It comes as little surprise then that the singer’s fans are rejoicing following the star’s phone interview with Ryan Seacrest this morning.

Calling in to plug her new Smurfs song ‘Ooh La La’, the 31-year-old was refreshingly responsive when quizzed about what folk really want to know about – the album.

Flip the hood to hear what she had to say…

Drake fans may still be awaiting a release date of the Rap titan’s third album ‘Nothing Was The Same’, but the Canadian star is  gifting them a tour to tide them over.

Interestingly christened the ‘Would You Like A Tour?’ tour, the 41-stop US trek kicks off in September and will feature “special guests” Miguel and Future.

As both a chart and touring force, Aubrey continues to make the right power plays to ensure he remains a major entity. We can only hope the album will be rolled out prior to him hitting the road.

Peep official tour dates after the jump…

Alexandra Burke is evolving.

After racking up multi-Platinum success with hits such as ‘Hallelujah’ and ‘Bad Boys’, the London-bred beauty is embracing a more soulful sound on her hotly anticipated third studio album.

Fresh from rocking the stage at her US debut, we caught up with the singer who waxed all sorts of candid about a number of topics. Ever keen to the ask the questions you really want answers to, we quizzed  Burke on breaking America, signing a  management deal with Kevin Liles, and what this means for her eagerly awaited American “launch”. A wholly frank Alex also set the record straight on why she recently left her record label.

Confident, assertive, yet the same “Alexandra” the masses fell in love with, the 24-year-old not only knows the artist she wants to be, she’s grabbed the wheel and is steering herself there.

An insightful read awaits after the jump…

Fifth Harmony continue on in their bid for chart supremacy today, blasting off with their brand new single ‘Miss Moving On’- produced Demi Lovato contributors ‘The Suspex‘.

In keeping it very real, we didn’t think we’d like this cut as much as we do and have already given it 5 (or 15) spins here at TGJ HQ this morning…it’s that good.

Not sure who the mystery lady is?
