Justin Bieber and Ke$ha Duet?

Justin’s next studio album will feature a track written by (and featuring) Ke$ha, HollywoodLife.com has learned exclusively!



As if you needed another reason to be excited for Justin Bieber‘s third studio album Believe, we’ve got one for you: The empress of glitter and unicorns, Ke$ha, is writing a song for Justin! A source tells HollywoodLife.com that Ke$ha ”would also be a part of the song in a duet capacity.”

We’re excited to hear what Ke$ha cooks up for the Biebs — but we’re even more excited for the potential music video. Do we need to remind you how insane the video for “Blow” was? (Rainbows and unicorns and James Van Der Beek, oh my!)

Ke$ha Gets ‘Sleazier’ with Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, T.I., & André 3000

Ke$ha is getting “Sleazy” with four of her favorite rappers. The pop star has called on Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, T.I., & André 3000 for the official remix to her Cannibal single.

“Sleazy Remix 2.0 Get Sleazier” will be available on iTunes on December 13. A version with only André 3000 appears on her remix album I Am the Dance Commander + I Command You to Dance: The Remix Album, which was released earlier this year.

“Get ready to get even $leazier with this sick collaboration I did with 4 of my favorite MCs of all time: Weezy, Andre 3000, Wiz Khalifa, and T.I.,” said Ke$ha. “I opened the ‘Get $leazy’ tour with this song every night and it always got the party started…Get ready, this is the SICKEST and SLEAZIEST version YET.$.”

Ke$ha is currently in the studio working on her sophomore album, due in 2012.

Grammy Awards Ban Britney Spears, Gaga, Rihanna from Dance Categories

Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Ke$ha and Jennifer Lopez scored some of 2011's biggest dance hits, but you won't see any of them in the Dance categories at the 2012 Grammys.

The Academy has decided to shift all of those artists to the Pop field, opening up the Dance field for DJs and more hardcore dance acts like Afrojack, Calvin Harris, Skrillex and Benny Benassi.

Though the Grammys never made an official announcement about this, several Academy members have confirmed being told about the change. The new policy is also confirmed by scanning the leaked list of 116 potential 2012 Grammy nominees for Best Dance Recording, which is missing all of those aforementioned pop stars.

Many of the songs you might have expected to see in the Dance categories - Gaga's "Judas," Spears' "Till the World Ends," Ke$ha's "We R Who We R" and Rihanna's "S&M" - were shifted to the Pop field instead.

Unfortunately, the Academy isn't being consistent with its new definition. A few less-successful dance-pop artists did manage to slip onto the list of contenders in the Dance field, including Robyn, Dev, Kat DeLuna and LMFAO.

None of these performers are as commercially successful as Gaga or Rihanna. So it seems that the new Grammy rule is that dance-pop artists are no longer eligible for the Dance categories, unless they have terrible record sales, in which case they are welcomed with open arms.

We'll find out how much of a difference the new policy makes when the 2012 Grammy nominees are announced on November 30.

Bob Dylan tribute album Chimes of Freedom reveals insane tracklist

Last month we told you of an upcoming Bob Dylan tribute album being put together in celebration of Amnesty International’s 50th anniversary. At the time, My Morning Jacket, Adele, David Matthews Band, and Ke$ha were among the confirmed participants. Now, the set’s entire tracklist has been revealed, and Ke$ha’s cover of ”Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” is just the beginning of the insanity.

Spanning four discs and 72 tracks (!!!), Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International packages together new or previously unreleased Dylan covers from artist of all different genres and generations. Obvious highlights include covers of “You’re A Big Girl Now” by MMJ, “Outlaw Blues” by Queens of the Stone Age, ”Not Dark Yet” by Silversun Pickups, “Drifter’s Escape” by Patti Smith, and “Lay Down Your Weary Tune” by Billy Bragg.

Other notable contributors include The Who’s Pete Townshend (“Corrina, Corrina”), Sting (“Girl from the North Country”), Bryan Ferry (“Bob Dylan’s Dream”), The Gaslight Anthem (“Changing of the Guards”), Elvis Costello (“License to Kill”), Mark Knopfler (“Restless Farewell”), Sinéad O’Connor (“Property of Jesus”), Joan Baez (“Seven Curses (Live)”), Fistful Of Mercy (“Buckets Of Rain”), Bad Religion (“It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue”), Cage the Elephant (“The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll”), and Pete Seeger (“Forever Young”). Dylan himself contributes the album’s namesake.

And just because, Ms. “On Melancholy Hill” (aka Miley Cyrus) takes on “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” and Maroon 5 tackles “ I Shall Be Released”. Also, Seal and Jeff Beck randomly team up for a reworking of “Like A Rolling Stone” and actress Evan Rachel Wood contributes her cover of “I’d Have You Anytime”.

The collection is scheduled for physical and digital release in North America on January 24th, 2012 via Fontana Distribution. It will then be distributed internationally through Fontana International on January 30th. All profits will go to benefit Amnesty International.

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:

Ke$ha To Play The Devil On Alice Cooper's "Welcome 2 My Nightmare" Album

Kesha always positioned herself as devilish and she takes that whole pop music’s bratty little sister thing to the next level with her appearance on shock rock god Alice Cooper‘s new album, ‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare.’ Kesha and Coop have joined each other on stage multiple times in the past few years and Cooper told Ultimate Classic Rock that he thinks Kesha will make a directional shift to the left and lean more towards rock, as opposed to polished pop, on future recordings.

Welcome 2 My Nightmare: Alice Cooper Returns with a New Album, New Nightmare, and a New Ke$ha Song

 

Alice Cooper’s widely anticipated new album, Welcome 2 My Nightmare, will be released September 13, 2011, by Universal Music Enterprises. Recorded with longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin, who produced the original multi-platinum Welcome To My Nightmare album in 1975, the album picks up right where they left off, with Alice trapped in his own warped mind.

The original release is an all-time rock classic that spawned a worldwide theatrical tour and pioneering U.S. TV special, and certified Alice Cooper as a visionary trailblazer whose influence persists today in rock, metal, pop, punk, theatre, television, film and much more.

More than 35 years later, Alice and Ezrin have resurrected the horror and humor for a new generation.
