Madonna talks M.I.A. and Britney

Madonna called in to “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” to discuss her Super Bowl performance including the controversy around M.I.A.‘s digit malfunction, and whether or not we can expect Britney Spears on her upcoming single “Girls Gone Wild.”

Katy Perry, Coldplay, and More to Perform at MusiCares Benefit Concert Honoring Paul McCartney

Not only will Katy Perry and Coldplay be performing on the Grammy Stage Feb. 12, the two popsters will be honoring Paul McCartney two days prior at this year’s MusiCares tribute concert. Alicia Keys is also listed as a performer.

Part of an annual tradition dating back to 1991, this year’s MusiCares Person of the Year concert will be held in Los Angeles, with tickets ranging from $1,500 to $100,000. It sounds awfully pricey, even with that lineup, but it’s for a good cause: MusiCares offers a safety net for musicians who need assistance in times of financial, personal, or medical crisis.

In addition to Coldplay, Perry, and Keys, this year’s list of performers includes Foo Fighters, Alison Krauss, Norah Jones, and past Person of the Year honorees James Taylor and Tony Bennett — as well as McCartney himself, who’ll be promoting his latest album, the collection of pop standards ‘Kisses on the Bottom.’

Confirmed: LMFAO Will Be Performing with Madonna at the Super Bowl

Will.i.am has confirmed that LMFAO will perform with Madonna at this year’s Super Bowl in America.

The duo, who are signed the Black Eyed Peas star’s Will.i.am Music Group, had been rumored as one of the surprise guests at the event on 5th February.

Speaking to Capital FM about Madonna’s set, Will.i.am, who performed last year’s Half-Time Show with Black Eyed Peas, said he was going to attend the game to watch LMFAO.

“I’m going to the Super Bowl this year to see my group LMFAO perform with Madonna,” he said.

“Check that out, Will.i.am Music Group is pretty freaking two for two. One year the Super Bowl the next year another group part of the Super Bowl in collaboration with Madonna. That’s still happening.”

Nicki Minaj and M.I.A have also been linked to Madonna’s Half-Time Show performance as they feature on her new single ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’.

But Madonna has so far refused to confirm the acts, only hinting recently that the performance will feature pom-poms.

Trailer to Adele's "Live At The Royal Albert Hall" DVD

Madonna set to play Olympics gig?

Madonna is to play a huge concert in London next year to coincide with the 2012 Olympics.

The 53-year-old singer will perform to 60,000 fans in Hyde Park next July when the UK capital will host the prestigious sporting event.

A source close to the ‘Hung Up’ hitmaker – who recently took a break from music to direct new movie ‘W.E’ – told The Sun newspaper: “Madonna is planning a huge comeback and was determined to do it at Hyde Park while the Olympics are on.

“She’s been out of the limelight musically for a while but is ready to jump back into the saddle and thinks there’s no better time to do it than when London hosts the Olympics.”

Earlier this week, it was also revealed Madonna is to perform at next February’s Super Bowl.

In headlining the prestigious sporting event, Madonna is following in the footsteps of stars including the Rolling Stones, Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake and the late Michael Jackson.

Adele Live At The Royal Albert Hall album and DVD to be released

Adele is to release a live album and DVD featuring her performance at the Royal Albert Hall last month.

The entire 90-minute concert at the prestigious venue will feature on the Live at the Royal Albert Hall CD and DVD collection as well as tracks from the singer's two wildly popular albums, renditions of Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make You Love Me and If It Hadn't Been for Love by the Steeldrivers will be featured.

Behind-the-scenes footage shot throughout the day of the concert on the DVD will make for an extra treat for fans.

The director behind the film is Paul Dugdale, who has worked with acts including Florence and the Machine and The Prodigy in the past.

Adele fans keen to get their hands on the new offering will have to wait until the release date on November 28th, but it can be ordered in advance from the singer's official website.

The DVD and CD combo may go some way to satisfy the unlucky US fans, who missed out on their chance to see the soulful songstress after she cancelled her tour of the States due to illness earlier this month.

On October 4th she wrote on her blog: 'Guys, im heartbroken and worried to tell you that yet again im experiencing problems with my voice. its ridiculous i know! i cant believe it myself.' (sic)

Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green Set to Perform at Michael Jackson Tribute Concert

Finally! It's been about two weeks since it was first announced that a Michael Jackson tribute concert was in store for the people of Cardiff, Wales, but we hadn't heard who would be performing.

Until now, that is. E! News confirms that The Voice stars Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green will be participating in this sure-to-be memorable event along with a couple of others...

Although it'd be super cute if Blake Shelton and Adam Levine also joined in so we'd have the whole NBC series involved, they're not—at least not yet anyway.

Two other artists that will be taking part in Michael Forever—The Tribute Concert on Oct. 8 are Leona Lewis and the band Alien Ant Farm (might sound odd at first, but remember, they did a cover of "Smooth Criminal").

No other announcements have been made, but what do you think so far? Who else would you want to see or expect to participate?

BET planning tribute to Aaliyah next month

BET announced in a tweet Wednesday night that a tribute to fallen Detroit star Aailyah is in the works and will air on the cable channel next month.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Aaliyah's death; the rising R&B singer-movie star was killed in a plane crash on August 25, 2001 in the Bahamas after a music video shoot.

At the time of her death, Aaliyah had just released her third album and had completed production on "Queen of the Damned" based on the Anne Rice novel. She had been in talks to star in an updated version of the 1976 girl-group flick "Sparkle" -- which is now nearing production here in Metro Detroit with a new cast.

And, as 411Mania.com points out, that's not the only thing Aaliyah had planned during those days.

411Mania: Perhaps the strangest collaboration that we almost got was one between the late AALIYAH and NINE INCH NAILS, well TRENT REZNOR at least. Aaliyah was a huge Nine Inch Nails fan and had asked Reznor to collaborate on a song with her on what would become her last album, Aaliyah. There was some discussion, but scheduling conflicts prevent Reznor from the collaboration. In August 2001, the collaboration was prevented from ever happening as Aaliyah died in a plane crash. Like others taken too soon, Aaliyah's career seemed limitless at that point as she was supremely talented and naturally beautiful.

BET did not give an airdate or any other details for their Aaliyah tribute.
