Katy Perry gets quirky on the cover of ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)’, the 5th single to be lifted from her sophomore set ‘Teenage Dream’.

The LP has been a global smash, spawning a successful tour and four Billboard Pop #1’s (namely its title track, ‘California Gurls’, ‘Firework’, and ‘E.T’).  There really is no stopping Ms. P!

As if you couldn’t tell, Christina Aguilera has been on a gruelling promotional schedule for her hit NBC show ‘The Voice’ as of late.

Things came to a head for the diva this morning during a tense interview on the ‘Today Show’. For following questions about the usual topics, host Matt Lauer proceded to grill the singer on her recent arrest, divorce, and family’s supposed attempts at staging an intervention.

Given Aguilera’s much documented ‘attitude’, this certainly makes for an interesting watch. Check out how she responded after the jump…

As earlier reported, Britney Spears features in the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

True to from, though, the studio singer’s feature boasts little more than pre-approved questions and answers, providing little insight into her world nor personality. Indeed, at this stage, one has to wonder if its actually Spears or her publicist taking part in these promotional spots. Sigh.

In any case, there are a few fruitful tidbits in the piece – including Spears’ thoughts on chart rivals Lady GaGa and Rihanna, well as her special relationship with Madonna.

Check out Pop superstar Britney Spears on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar’s latest issue.

The studio singer is currently gearing up for the launch of her ‘Femme Fatale Tour’, which kicks off this summer with Young Money’s Nicki Minaj as opener.

Peep an excerpt from her feature in the publication below:

Britney Spears is on the phone from rehearsals in Los Angeles, where she is busy singing, dancing and “It’s Britney, bitch”-ing in preparation for her summer tour. She sounds energized and positive, occasionally flashing a wry sense of humor that those who see her only on TV and in the tabloids never glimpse.

“I’ve worked so hard on this album, so it’s really refreshing”

There really is no stopping Bruno Mars.

The soulful crooner, whose debut ‘Doo Wops & Hooligans’ has earned him international recognition, hit #1 on the Official UK Singles Chart yesterday with the project’s latest offering ‘The Lazy Song’.

Celebrating the feat (his third British chart-topper), Mars took to the stage to perform the song on Day 2 of BBC Radio 1’s ‘Big Weekender’.

Brandy and Ray J‘s reality series ‘A Family Business’ may have ended, but that hasn’t stopped the pair and their parents from expanding their business interests.

This week, the tight-knit unit launched the Norwood Talent Agency Corporation at The Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, California. The firm aims to represent individuals across various entertainment platforms.

Let’s just hope it fares better than R&B Productions (searches iTunes for new Brandy or Ray J material). Although, a reliable source does tells That Grape Juice that the ‘Right Here (Departed)’ singer is on the verge of inking a new record deal – the small print of which is being ironed out as speak.

Here’s hoping it’s finalised sooner rather than later, as those effortless runs, adlibs, and trademark harmonies are missed. Sorely.

Pop diva Nicole Scherzinger is riding high after being unveiled as the host of the X Factor USA.

However, with reliable sources alledging she was being lined up to judge on the Fox show, many were surprised to see the former Pussycat Doll assuming hosting duties. Co-hosting, at that.

With filming for the much-talked about show underway, Scherzinger took a moment out to address the drama, shedding light on her the recruitment process, and why she prefers presenting to judging.

Rihanna invites viewers into her ‘California King Bed’ in the video for the latest single from her ‘Loud’ LP. The nasal sensation shot the clip back in March, pacing out its release as she preps for the launch of her ‘Loud Tour’ – which kicks off next month.

Yet, with US audiences avoiding the trek like she does her vocal coach, one has to wonder if the model can stimulate interest with the release of the Nivea-sponsored video. Judge for yourself after the jump…

Any confusion as to why Lady GaGa is…well..Lady GaGa was last night as quelled as the final credits rolled on her HBO ‘Monster Ball’ Special.

The television event, which was backed by a multi-million dollar promotional campaign, saw footage from the singer’s  record-breaking tour paired with more intimate moments on the road. Moments,which really sold the star’s hustle, and ultimately legitimised her success. If legendary status is what she’s pursuing, this was yet another step in the right direction.

Ending months of speculation, it was today officially announced that Nicole Scherzinger will indeed feature on X Factor USA.

However, in a unique twist, the Pop stunner will not be a judge on the Fox show – as initially thought. Rather she is gearing up to co-host the Stateside version of the British show which launched the careers of Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke.

It was an all-legends affair at Prince‘s Los Angeles show last night. The purple one was joined at The Forum by not only Chaka Khan, but the legendary Whitney Houston.

Leaving the spotlight to the ladies, the 52 year old assumed bass duties while Houston and Khan sang that latter’s classic ‘Tell Me Something Good’.

Kelly Rowland dons her dancing shoes in the video for ‘What A Feeling’ – her collaboration with Italian DJ, Alex Gaudino.

Directed by Frank Gatson, the vibrant clip comes at the aptest of times; for, with the (Europe-only) song now playlisted at every major radio station across the UK, its visual will no doubt give it a boast as the summer approaches.

Check out Ms. Kelly soaking up and the sun and dancing up a stom after the jump…
