Fergie’s “L.A.LOVE (la la)” makes its way into the top 40 after rising 41-36 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.

She previously notched five top 10s, including three No. 1s, from her solo debut The Dutchess, in 2006-07.

In between, she added two top 40 hits in featured roles: on Nelly‘s “Party People” (No. 40, 2008) and David Guetta and Chris Willis‘ “Gettin’ Over You” (also featuring LMFAO) (No. 31, 2010).

Danny Trejo’s latest project will have a different kind of reach…

The 70-year-old Mexican American actor, who often stars in action films as hypermasculine characters, villains and anti-heroes, is starring opposite Sylvester Stallone and Kelsey Grammer in the dramedy Reach Me.

Trejo portrays Vic in the film, which centers on a group of people who all have a connection to a self-help book authored by a reclusive former football coach.

Directed by John Herzfeld, the indie film also stars Lauren Cohan, Terry Crews, Nelly, Kevin Connoly, Tom Sizemore, Ryan Kwanten, Kyra Sedgwick, Danny Trejo, Tom Berenger and Danny Aiello.

“It’s a feel-good movie with an upbeat, inspirational story. It’s about a dozen broken characters who get a second chance in life by coming into contact with this book,” says Herzfeld.

The project initially launched a Kickstarter campaign, but later switched to a similar yet more flexible platform, Indiegogo, which allows international contributions and pledges beyond $10k.
