Video - Who makes the final GALAXY11?

Franz Beckenbauer has chosen his all-star line-up and it features many of the planet's finest football talent but will the best of Earth be good enough?

It started in October with the sightings of mysterious circles at landmarks across the globe and was followed by the arrival at top football grounds of a group of strange robed figures. The curiosity of football fans was raised by #WINNERTAKESEARTH until the extraordinary riddle was solved... with the setting of a unique global challenge.

Franz Beckenbauer revealed last month he was compiling a team of "the world's finest" and the concept of the GALAXY11 was born. Details of its purpose remained ambiguous but Beckenbauer was clear that the mission was linked to mysterious circles beamed onto Sugerloaf mountain in Rio de Janeiro and Times Square in New York. The huge hole gouged into London's Hackney Marshes by a ball bearing was also connected.

Listen to Angel Haze's Brilliant New Song "A Tribe Called Red"

In addition to cover art for her long-awaited album, Angel Haze just released a lyric video for her newest song "A Tribe Called Red." Like her other pieces, while the song's beat pulls you in, it's the lyrics that take center stage. 

The song is a vow to fans that Haze will keep her music real despite her impending fame tin 2014. She also snuck in some Azealia Banks references, reminiscent of their on-going Twitter battle, for good measure.

Hip-hop is notoriously unkind to women, much less female artists themselves. Look around and you'll see the likes of Rihanna and Nicki Minaj, both of whom are really more pop than hip-hop. Their audiences are pop fans — not those who listen to Kendrick and J.Cole (nor the ones who complained when J.Cole's first album seriously dissed the underground hip-hop community).

Lady GaGa & Christina Aguilera in 'Do What U Want' on 'The Voice' Finale

Lady GaGa performed her single "Do What U Want" on "The Voice" on Tuesday night, December 17. The Mother Monster wasn't alone as Christina Aguilera, who's also a coach on the singing competition, joined her onstage to sing the second cut off "ARTPOP" album.

Wearing a shiny outfit and a wig, GaGa sang while dancing with some dancers. Appearing onstage mid-song, Aguilera showed off her figure in a dress with similar color to GaGa's. The two singers sounded and looked perfect together.

At one point, GaGa rested her head on Aguilera's chest. The performance ended with the two pop stars linking arms with glasses of champagne.

GaGa and Aguilera were not the only performers on that night's show. Celine Dion and Ne-Yo hit the stage and delivered the first live performance of their uplifting duet, "Incredible".

Previously, Dion sang her hit single called "Love Can Move Mountains" with Adam Levine's protege Tessane Chin, who later came out as the winner of the fifth season of "The Voice".

New 'Penny Dreadful' Teaser Shows the Demon Inside Eva Green

Showtime has released a fresh teaser of new series "Penny Dreadful", giving the first official look at Eva Green in character. Donning a black dress, she's featured humming a prayer before she's seemingly getting possessed by the devil.

On the psycho-sexual horror show, the "300: Rise of an Empire" actress portrays Vanessa Ives, a "seductive and formidable beauty full of secrets and danger." She will prove herself a force to be reckoned with and is the heroine of the series.

Created by John Logan, the show takes place in Victorian London and weaves together the classic origin stories of horror icons like Dr. Frankenstein and his creature, Dorian Grey, and several characters from the novel Dracula.

Josh Hartnett lands a role as Ethan Chandler, a fake American cowboy who impresses Victorian women, but has a dark side. He isn't afraid of violence and is more complicated than he likes to admit.

Harry Treadaway will play Victor Frankenstein, Reeve Carney is cast as the immortal Dorian Gray, and Billie Piper stars as Brona Croft, an Irish immigrant seeking to escape her dark past.

Logan serves as executive producer alongside Sam Mendes and Pippa Harris. "The Orphanage" director Juan Antonio Bayona helmed the first two episodes of the show, which is slated to debut in spring 2014.
