Radiohead will tour in 2012

Thom Yorke has confirmed that Radiohead will be touring in 2012.

The band, who announced two shows in New York yesterday (September 20), have so far only played one live show, which consisted of a secret show at Glastonbury, in support of their new album 'The King Of Limbs'.

But speaking to BBC Radio 1's Giles Peterson, Yorke confirmed that the band would be touring, saying: "The idea is to go out and play next year on and off during the year."

The singer also indicated that Portishead's Clive Deamer, who played with the band during their Glastonbury set, would be part of the touring band.

Yorke also spoke about his plans to release a new album as part of Atoms For Peace, his project with producer Nigel Godrich and Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, revealing that he is "finishing the album" at the moment. Source

Katy Perry announces next single

Ke$ha announces surprise project on Twitter

Ke$ha has said in interviews for a while now that she wanted The Harold Song to be released as a single, and even though it unfortunately has been confirmed that this is not going to happen, she might have decided to shoot a video for it anyway like she has done before for "Animal" and "Stephen" in the Animal era.

When she was still below the mark of 2 million followers, Ke$ha took to Twitter for the first time to announce ~something~ should she surpass that number. And now that it's done, she tweeted once again promising an unexpected surprise: a project that she is putting "finishing touches" on at this moment. Speculations are that it might be a video to "The Harold Song", but nobody really knows.

Here is what she tweeted:

Bruno Mars sues publishing company

Bruno Mars is declaring war on his music publisher --  claiming the company refuses to let him out of his contract ... even though he has already delivered on his end of the bargain.

Mars has filed a lawsuit against Bug Music, Inc. -- claiming the company failed to pick up the option on his contract after he delivered and agreed upon number of songs.

In the documents, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Mars claims he turned in all of his music by  February -- at which point, Bug had a certain amount of time to exercise its option to continue the relationship with Mars.

Bruno claims Bug never got back to him ... so he considered the contract terminated.

According to the docs, the honchos at Bug believe Mars is wrong -- and insist he is still under a contract which gives them 50% of the copyrights of any music Bruno makes. 

Now, Mars says ... he needs a judge to issue a declaration that his contract is in fact over -- so he can move on with his career.

We called Bug for comment -- but they didn't want to talk.

Leona Lewis announces album title

"Leona Lewis sat down last night with UK radio’s Alex and Lucy (of IN:DEMAND With Alex And Lucy). While on the air, the lovely “Collide” songbird revealed that her third studio LP will be titled Glass Heart. (An ode to Blondie’s 1979 hit “Heart Of Glass”, perhaps?) The Brit went on to share some more exciting news: Simon Cowell has asked her to perform on the inaugural season of the US X Factor. LL’s episode will air next Wednesday — so keep an ear out."
