Taylor Swift Announces Deluxe Version Of Speak Now

When Taylor Swift releases Speak Now on October 25, fans will have a couple of options. An exclusive Target version of the album will feature three new tracks, three remixes and 30 minutes of additional video content. That album also features Swift in a red gown, versus the purple gown she wears on the other cover.

"I'm so excited about the deluxe edition of Speak Now that will be at Target!" Taylor Swift said. "I'm all about being able to give the fans special extras whenever I can, so I love that this version has video footage and even some additional songs."

Swift is following in the footsteps of the Black Eyed Peas, Christina Aguilera, Prince and John Legend, who have made similar deals with the retailer. "Target is very excited to partner with Taylor Swift on her new, and much anticipated, album Speak Now. Taylor is a dynamic artist that has developed a strong fanbase that spans across all ages and geographies, and we are proud to be the only retailer to carry this exclusive new content," said Mark Schindele, Target's senior vice president of merchandising. "Knowing how important Taylor's fans are to her, we are pleased to be able to deliver three new songs, plus exclusive remixed tracks and video footage, at a great price."

Swift has already released the hit single "Mine" and previewed the new song "Innocent" at the VMAs on Sunday. "Innocent," a ballad about someone who has lost their way, appears to be about Kanye West in regards to last year's VMA stage-crash.

"For me, I write everything that I live, so you got to give yourself a little bit of time to live a lot of things so you can write about a lot of things, and my only option is to write about what I've been through and what I've lived, so thankfully, in the past two years, I've experienced a lot of things that I've been dying to write about and a lot of things that I wanted to say in the moment that I didn't," she said about the October release.

Lady Gaga Beats Oasis To Set New Guinness World Record

Lady Gaga has overtaken Oasis to become the artist to enjoy the most weeks in the UK chart.

The singer's debut album 'The Fame' has now spent 154 weeks in the top-75.

She has also been named the most searched for female on the internet in the new edition of the Guinness World Records.

Meanwhile, the late Michael Jackson is the most search for male on the internet, while Madonna is the biggest-selling female act of the 21st century in the UK.

Husband and wife Jay-Z and Beyonce have been named the year's biggest 'Power Couple', earning around $122 million through June 2009.

Pixie Lott has recorded the biggest chart jump, with her song 'Boys And Girls' climbing to number one from number 72 in one week.

Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of this year's records book, said: "Almost two years ago, Lady Gaga and Pixie Lott were not even around so it's amazing they have broken these records.

"Every year, so many new music records are broken."

The latest edition of Guinness World Records 2011 is released today (September 16).

Lady GaGa: 'New album is rock crossover'

Lady GaGa hopes her new album will be a rock crossover record that will "reach the masses".

The singer, who recently debuted a song on tour called 'You and I' from the widely-anticipated LP, said the track doesn't reflect the sound of the whole record, but hopes it will have widespread appeal.

"I wrote the song just to write a beautiful song and I intend to put it on the new album, yes," GaGa told RWD.

"But it's not totally indicative of the new album sound; it's just a really big rock and roll hit. I do have these hopes that it could be a great crossover record, so I'm going to put my producer's hat on and get it to a place where I feel like it could reach the masses.

"It's a beautiful, beautiful lyric and melody."

GaGa also discussed her longevity in the music industry, claiming her 'Monster Ball' tour has become a "religion" for her fans.

"I think that I'm, in the best kind of way, as irrelevant as I am relevant and it's the timing of when the music came and when the show came. Also, the thing is, the show has become a religion for me and my fans.

"In that way it's about so much more than the music, the clothes or me. It's about the togetherness of music and culture."

GaGa's new album, Born This Way, is slated for release next year.

Justin Bieber 3-D film gets Feb. 11, 2011, release date

Good news, tweens: Justin Bieber's film debut has an official release date.

The currently untitled film will hit theaters on Feb. 11, 2011, Paramount announced on Wednesday.

Better yet, the singer and his lustrous dirty-blond locks are getting the 3-D treatment. The movie has been described as an "8 Mile"-like story of the Canadian idol's rise to stardom, although presumably without all the grit and sex.

It will also include concert footage from the singer's appearances in Nashville and Madison Square Garden this summer, and cameos from fellow teen idol Miley Cyrus and R&B star Usher.

Davis Guggenheim was rumored to be attached to the movie, but the Oscar-winning director dropped out days after a Deadline New York report stated his involvement. He has been replaced by Jon Chu, who directed the last two installments in the "Step Up" series.

This won't be Bieber's first acting gig. He's guest starring as a troubled teen on a multi-episode arc of "CSI" that kicks off with the show's Sept. 23 season premiere.
