Justin Bieber’s reps are reportedly in talks with World Wrestling Entertainment to participate in the company’s biggest event of the year, Wrestlemania. I’m not sure just what kind of crossover audience that the WWE and the pop singer might have but according to sources, talks have been ongoing for several months now and a deal for Justin to perform at the event may be reached soon. I wonder if his performance would call for him to fight in the ring. I sure hope so. Maybe someone can kick his butt so I can never hear from him again. That will be a dream come true.
It looks like Nicki Minaj may have some competition when it comes to being a female rapper. During a visit to Nashville’s 107.5 radio last week, Taylor Swift showed off some rap skills when she rapped a few lyrics from Nicki’s “Super Bass”. The country singer was asked to choose any song she wanted and the radio show’s DJ would play it right away. In a surprising move, Taylor selected Nicki’s song and rapped a few of the lines for kicks. I know it’s impossible for Taylor to release an album outside the country and pop genre but if she wants to have a bit of fun, I wouldn’t rule out rapping.

After a bit of a controversy surrounding the departure of Josh Farro and Zac Farro from Paramore, it looks like at least one of them is ready to move on. Josh has actually assembled a new band called Novel American. The guitarist said “Basically, I met these guys in high school — they’re a little older than me, and that’s a big deal when you’re in high school, they were always in the cool crowd — but we connected after high school, and we got together after the whole Paramore thing, and I was like, ‘I don’t know if I want to be in another band, but I called the guys, we got together, we wrote and we jammed, and it was great, so we decided, ‘Let’s do another band.’ And, honestly, I had some ideas that just didn’t fit with Paramore, and I said, ‘Guys, we can try these,’ and they just loved them, and so that’s really how it all started.” Are you curious as to what Josh and his new band have to offer?
Well, after botching up the National Anthem at this year’s Super Bowl, it was only natural that Christina Aguilera issue an official apology and this is what it sounded like: “I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place. I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through.” Well, she certainly couldn’t have made the feeling of the song any clearer. If Christina Aguilera was being more of a ham with her singing they would’ve had to make a food commercial for her as well during half-time.

It’s been four years since the duo put out any new music but fans of The White Stripes were still hoping for the best. However, the band is no more. Meg White and Jack White have decided to go their separate ways and continue to pursue other musical ventures without the other. On their official website’s main page, they explain “The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in good health. It’s for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way… The White Stripes belong to you now and you can do with it whatever you want. The beauty of art and music is that it can last forever if people want it to. Thank you for sharing this experience. Your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful.” All good things come to an end. I wish them the best of luck with their future endeavors.
The alternative rockers have just released a new music video for their song “Never Gonna Leave this Bed” from their new album “Hands All Over”. The song is pretty much what you’d expect from Maroon 5: the pop rock, semi-melancholic, crescendo ballad with Adam Levine’s James Blunt-ish vocals. Not a bad listen. The music video is basically what its title says: Adam Levine and Russian model Anne V spending most of the clip in bed. The bed does change from time to time and they travel around in it in a glass box and Adam Levine does get up to sing with the band from time to time, but true to the song’s title: they don’t really leave the bed. Not a bad way to spend three and a half minutes… however ironical that might sound.

The rapper has recently released a new song called “Green & Yellow”. This is quite the interesting piece because it’s actually about the Super Bowl game that is coming up between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers. It would appear that Lil’ Wayne is quite the Packers fan and he has expressed his passion for the team the best way he can: through song. It’s not a bad piece, actually, a very inspired combination of an active electo/dance rhythm in the background and Lil’ Wayne’s trademark squeaky vocals. But they do go pretty well with the song itself and it’s a worthy homage to the Green Bay Packers. Lil’ Wayne even promises a Super Bowl party if the Green & Yellow manage to take home the title this year.

Lil Wayne – Green and Yellow Lyrics
What up?

Avril Lavigne’s new single “What the Hell” has debuted at the number 13 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It’s a more than respectable debut considering that it’s only backed up mainly by its digital sales. I’m sure it will go higher on the chart once the music video comes out, radio airplay increases and when the Canadian pop rock singer starts promoting the song on TV. I’m not expecting Avril to reach number 1 though with Britney Spears’ “Hold it Against me” proving to be a monster single by debuting at number 1. I have a feeling that it’s going to stay there for a while. But even after that, Avril’s going to have to settle for a lower spot on the Top 5 since Lady Gaga would be back in February.
Jennifer Lopez recently gave Ryan Seacrest the go signal to premiere her new single “On the Floor”. As announced, this is the final version of the RedOne-produced track and I’m glad to say that it’s so much better than the leaked demo. There’s more of JLo in the intro and rapper Pitbull’s minute long verse was divided into two parts, one at the beginning and another to close the song. The beat is also neater along with some improvement on the pop singer’s vocals. Overall, this version sounds and feels hotter. Now that the song is on US radio, I wonder how long it will take for her to perform it on American Idol.

Panic! At the Disco is back this 2011 with a new album called “Vices & Virtues”, which will be available on March 29th. The project’s lead single “The Ballad of Mona Lisa” was officially released earlier this week so you know that the rock band has to start with promo rounds. Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith, the only remaining members of the lineup, kicked things off with an appearance on Billboard’s “Live Q&A”, where they performed an acoustic performance of the lead single. It’s the perfect execution and I’m not itching to see how they would perform the song with the drums and electric guitars.

Jane Lynch wants Elton John to star in Glee as her love interest. Her co-star Matthew Morrison put forward the suggestion and Jane said she would be ‘all over it’. She told People, “I love that idea, and I’m all over that idea. From [Morrison's] lips to [executive producer] Ryan Murphy’s ears!” She added that her hard-nosed character Sue Sylvester would be a perfect match for Elton. “Someone Saved My Life Tonight is probably her favourite ballad, so I don’t think he would have any problem,” she added.
Fox really wants all “Glee” fans to watch the Super Bowl this year as it has recently been announced that actress Lea Michele will be singing “America the Beautiful” during the pre-game festivities of this year’s big event. Following the TV star’s lead will be pop singer Christina Aguilera who will sing the National Anthem. It sounds like a diva off to me. I wonder whose set of pipes will grab the hearts of the nation more. I think it’s a pretty tough call but if Christina messes up, she’s going to live with it for the rest of her life.
The singer has finally released the much anticipated music video for her single “S&M”. This one has been on the waiting list for quite some time now and it’s probably not going to disappoint at first glance. Rihanna’s new music video features a lot of very fast, very colorful imagery that is apparently supposed to have a deeper meaning. It’s actually some kind of a metaphor for Rihanna’s relationship with all of the press out there… of course it is pretty easily deducible what “S&M” stands for. There’s even a little shot of Perez Hilton appearing as Rihanna’s pet in the music video… quite befitting actually. All in all, it’s a rather interesting view and no more need be said about the song itself since it has already made its fair round of popularity.
