Anyone interested in taking a trip to Dublin this summer?!

WE certainly are, especially after catching wind that for Justin Timberlake's upcoming concert date there, held in Phoenix Park on July 10, the Suit & Tie crooner will be joined by two very special guests as opening acts:

Jessie J and James Arthur!

The X Factor UK winner took to Twitter last night to announce the news himself:

Hello POWER anthem of the summer!!!

We've been SUPER souped about Jessie J's upcoming new single Wild ever since we sneaked a peek of the ferocious pop artist recording the tune in studio…

And thank the pop GODZ, cause the newly shaven-haired songstress has JUST unveiled a delightful video of herself performing a broken down version of her Wild new song!

Bask in the glory that is Jessie J (above)!

Dayum, if this is what the "slow" version is like, we can't wait to hear the official Wild single…

It's bound to be eardrum shatteringly AWEsome!

Jessie J has been working hard on perfecting a new sound that complements her fierce new look!

While she’s already teased part of her upcoming single, Wild, featuring Big Sean and Dizzee Rascal, she took to a Google+ Hangout fan session yesterday to perform a section of it LIVE!

Following up a few notes from Nobody’s Perfect, Jessie introduced the track and said:

"This is the chanty bit of the song that comes after the chorus! It's the hook. I've been told that I can't sing this but I'm going to sing it anyway!"

Ch-ch-check out the clip of performance near the 23-minute mark…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

We’re officially going Wild with excitement!!!

Jessie J took to Twitter recently to announce the first single she’ll be releasing off her second album!

Here’s the tweet:

MY FIRST WORLDWIDE SINGLE IS CALLED 'WILD' Feat @bigsean and @dizzeerascal GO to jessiejofficial.com to let the fun begin! #jessiejwild

YAYY so happy this talented and charitable UK singer and Voice coach is about to release new music!!

We also LOVE the idea of her collaborating with Big Sean and Dizzee Rascal!!!

Her songwriter, Claude Kelly, reports that the album is 98% done, and we can expect something BIG once the finished product is out.

Claude also said:

With 3 people confirmed dead and at least 154 people injured from the Boston Marathon explosions, celebs such as Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj and Alicia Keys are taking to their Twitter to send out their love and prayers.

It's not yet clear who is responsible for the bombings, but while it's investigated, #prayforboston has become Twitter's top trend.

Here's what our favorite celebrities are saying:

My heart is breaking for everyone effected or injured in the explosion at the Boston Marathon. God bless you all! My prayers are with you!

— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) April 15, 2013

Shaken… My thoughts and prayers are with the city of Boston and those affected by this tragedy.

— Alicia Keys (@aliciakeys) April 15, 2013

My heart goes out to everyone who woke up this morning to enjoy a peaceful marathon but were met w/senseless destruction. #GodBlessAmerica

Hunger magazine's S/S 2013 issue has not one but SEVEN covers, and three of our fave girls are on 'em!

Rita Ora! Iggy Azalea! And Jessie J!

What a fierce treat!

Rankin, the mag's editor-in-chief, explained the idea behind the musically-inclined cover stars:

“I had begun to notice a pattern emerging in film and fashion, but most notably in music; where people (most obviously, young women) were taking control of their creative lives and output in a way I hadn’t seen before."

For real! It's a great time for women in music right now!

Gabrielle Alpin, A*M*E, and Grimes also get their own covers with model Crystal Renn scoring the seventh cover (which hasn't been released yet).

Ch-ch-check out the rest in the gallery (below)!

Which cover is your fave???

ZOMG! We can't believe it's been 10 years!!!

Back before a wonderfully incompetent Steve Carell made blundering middle management fun, Ricky Gervais was pioneering the whole faux documentary TV trend in Britain with his O.G. version of The Office!

And now, a decade after the show ended it's run, the darling doofus David Brent returns to us for to us for one final encore!!

Ch-ch-check out his charming and charitable Red Nose Day comedy special The Return of Brent (above)!

Ha! He was brilliant as an office manager, but we like him even more managing mismanaging rappers, LOLz!!

More importantly, Ricky and the head-shaving Jessie J (and so many others) raised tons of cash for charity! Over 100 million dollars so far!!
