Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber are working on another record.
The 23-year-old singer and the "Never Say Never" hitmaker previously recorded a untitled song intended for his latest album Believe, but Justin's manager Scooter Braun insists the track "didn't make sense" on the record and the pair are now planning to work on new material: "It didn't go on Believe, because there's another record they want to work on. So, it just didn't make sense at this time."

Spike Lee’s Michael Jackson Documentary in Post-Production
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Industry News, Pop,
The legendary filmmaker is in the latter part of post-production on the project, which will focus on the story of the late singer's Bad album, world tour and videos to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the record following its release in August 1987. The documentary will feature more than 40 interviews, conducted by Spike - who directed both short films for Michael's "They Don't Care About Us" in 1996 - with the "Thriller" hitmaker's confidants, choreographers, collaborators and musicians who worked on the record.
"I'm more than just a huge fan of Michael Jackson, and having the chance to actually know him and work with him, I deeply care about his legacy. With this Bad project I was able to uncover just what made this such a huge, important coming of age in his career and unearth compelling stories surrounding the making of the album, the long awaited follow-up to Thriller - the best selling album of all time - the short films and the tour that may have never seen the light of day," he said.

The "Judas" singer's last record, Born This Way, incorporated grown up lyrical themes - including addressing homosexuality on the title track and her grandfather's death on "The Edge of Glory" - but she is planning her next album to be more lighthearted.
Speaking during a performance in Perth, Australia, yesterday, she told the crowd, "Let's just say I feel that when I wrote Born This Way, I demonstrated a sense of maturity. And I feel that, on the next album, there's a lack of maturity. It's a tremendous lack of maturity or sense of responsibility."
Gaga has already debuted one new track, "Lady Die," which has proved controversial because of its lyrics, which appear to reference Diana, Princess of Wales' tragic death in a Paris car crash in 1997.

The "F***in' Perfect" singer is planning a spectacular stage show in support of her forthcoming album, The Truth About Love, but knows she will have to do something pretty drastic if she's going to upstage 2010s Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour.
"Yeah man I've gotta step it up, I'm competing with myself. I was thinking about lighting myself on fire, I've actually been doing some research and I've been going to a lot of Las Vegas shows, I'm going to bring it this time," she said in an interview recently.
Pink has also recently explained how her sixth album will explore the concept of love from all of its different perspectives: "I'm excited. I think the songs are elevated and smart and fun. The motivation for this album is love and all of the different shades of it - dark, light, happy, sad, what love can motivate you to do, just all of it. Just exploring how much it can hurt and how much it can feel good. It's not cheesy."
The Truth About Love will be released on September 18, preceded by a single, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)."

Marilyn Manson thinks it is great technology means anyone can make music.
The "Dope Show" hitmaker disagrees with his friends who find it frustrating that people can utilize special software to harness their creativity, and doesn't think there is anything difference between that and learning a musical instrument. "Friends of mine who are musicians or directors are really frustrated, and they say 'I hate iMovie or Garageband because anyone can make something.' I think the exact opposite. There's always been a piano, a guitar, a microphone and anyone can always have made something."
The rocker believes the music scene has changed a lot with modern culture because rock stars are now also seen as "celebrities."

Kanye West will bring out his sixth solo album "right after" G.O.O.D. Music's Cruel Summer is released.
The "Stronger" hitmaker is likely to release the record before the end of the year, with the target being for it to quickly follow his collective's compilation LP into stores. "He's coming right after that. I'm not working on that Cruel Summer album, I'm working on his album," said Def Jam Vice President and producer No I.D.
Though No I.D. isn't working on Cruel Summer - which features artists including Big Sean, Pusha T, CyHi the Prynce, Common, Kid Cudi, Teyana Taylor, Mr. Hudson and Q-Tip - he promises fans will enjoy the record: "This is Kanye. You know what to expect from the family. He hasn't missed yet, so don't expect him to miss."
There's no word yet as to the title of Kanye's upcoming album.
Nas Wanted to Burn Kelis’ Wedding Dress
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Hip-Hop & Rap, New Releases,
Nas wanted to set fire to ex-wife Kelis' wedding dress after they split up.
The couple separated in 2009 after a four-year marriage and the 38-year-old rapper - who has two-year-old son Knight with the "Milkshake" hitmaker - was very "hurt and angry" when he found a reminder of their big day.
"I found it in my house and thought, it's going somewhere. Either on the cover of my album, or burning in a garbage can. I was angry when I first found it. Hurt and angry - but I don't think she left it deliberately to hurt me. It's just part of the dress, so I don't know where the rest of it is. But it made all the sense in the world for me to hold on to that. I guess that's just my personality," he said, explaining why the cover of his new album Life Is Good, which depicts him alone in a club with the dress draped over his knee.

Travis Barker Plays Like He’s Going to Die
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Rock,
The Blink-182 drummer performs with as much energy and power as he possibly can at every concert, preparing for each as if he were a boxer. "It's like you're getting ready for a fight. I lock myself in my room, warm myself up for an hour and go out there and do the damn thing. I always play like I could die out there and give it my all. And there's only three of us up there - it's an awesome feeling."
Travis - who is in the band with Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus - is playing with Blink-182 at a number of European festivals, and loves the reaction the group get. "I really enjoyed our last trip to Europe. It was crazy playing for 200,000 people. It's insane. You don't have festivals like that in the US. Rock is alive and kicking ass in Europe. It's bigger than ever. It's like the ocean - you can see people for days," he added.
