Christina Aguilera is joining the cast of Nashville.
She’s joining the show for a ‘multi-episode arc’ as Jade St John, a pop singer who wants to record a country album but her record label won’t allow it.
We’ve seen Aguilera act a little, particularly in the film Burlesque. It didn’t get the best reviews…

Pop star Justin Bieber is to be ‘roasted’ by US TV network Comedy Central.
Which basically means they’re going to bring out a parade of celebs to take the micky out of the singer.
Bieber seems pretty pleased with the idea, saying “For years I have wanted Comedy Central to roast me. They said only if I provided them w/ more material so for a year now I have worked hard Finally after all that hard work for my 21st bday it’s happening”.
Now we just await the announcement of when and where…

The film is due to be released in October.
The music world’s always tough to predict as artists don’t announce releases and tours until close to the time. But here’s some things we do know.
Madonna’s new album, Rebel Heart, will be out in early February.
She was forced to release six songs before Christmas after some early demos leaked. Is she still relevant in 2015? I guess that remains to be seen.
2015 should see the return of Adele. No news on when the long awaited new album will finally be released but surely it has to be soon?
There are constant reports that she’s in the studio working on new music so hopefully it’s only a matter of time.
Emeli Sande will also be back in 2015 with her new album, Who Needs The World.
Can she replicate the amazing success of her debut? And will we see her on every TV show possible as she promotes it?
I’m looking forward to the new Coldplay album, A Head Full of Dreams. Chris Martin has promised fans the band will tour after its release. I hope so!
One of my highlights in 2014 was their small concert at the Royal Albert Hall. I’ve seen them play some huge shows over the years so it was great to see them strip backed and in such an intimate setting.
And talking of touring – Take That will be out on their first UK tour as a three-piece.
They always put on a fantastic show for fans so I expect this tour to be just the same, with a bit more singing from Mark and Howard!
Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter from McBusted will be out and about this week signing copies of their children’s book.
The duo will be at Waterstones in Bluewater on December 16 and at the Reading store on December 18.
They’re promoting their book The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas. Lovely!
A new documentary about the Backstreet Boys will be released in UK cinemas on February 26.
Backstreet Boys: Show Em What You’re Made Of celebrates the band’s 20th anniversary and the screening will include a special performance by the band.
“We can’t wait to go back to the UK to treat our fans to a very special BSB performance alongside showcasing our film that we are so very proud of. We think the Brits and everyone who comes out to see it will love it!,” say the Backstreet Boys.
