Lady Gaga To Release Gay Rights Edition Of 'Born This Way'

Lady Gaga has announced that she will be releasing an limited edition of single 'Born This Way'.

The singer, whose single is currently number three in the UK charts, is planning on releasing an limited edition of the single to raise money for gay rights, reports Billboard.

Gaga has already been in talks with executives at US retailer Target, urging them to change their views after they previously supported anti-gay political candidates instead of equal rights charities.

The retailer will now support the campaign backing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights and will sell the limited edition single in their stores.

Meanwhile, the video for Lady Gaga's new single 'Born This Way' will be given its world premiere on Monday (February 28).

Girls Aloud To Reform For 2012 World Tour?

Girls Aloud are allegedly planning to cash-in on member Cheryl Cole's solo success by planning a world tour when she cracks America.

According to the Daily Star, Chezza, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding and Kimberley Walsh are said to be gearing up for the girlband's 10th anniversary next year, and want to tour the globe to celebrate the milestone.

Sources close to the group claim that GA would be back in 2012 after Cheryl makes her rumoured debut as a judge on the US version of The X Factor.

The insider told the tabloid: "Early next year is pencilled in for the reunion tour. It’s going to be absolutely massive."

“Cheryl could be a US superstar by then if her appearance on American X Factor goes according to plan this autumn, so they want to capitalise on that. It will also be the band’s 10-year anniversary in 2012, so the timing is just perfect."

They added: “And with Sarah’s wedding being the showbiz marriage of the year, the girls will be back to the height of their fame again.”

Cheryl and boss Simon Cowell are already said to have "quit" the UK series to focus on the American show, fuelling rumours that Cole has landed a role as a panelist on the programme.

MTV confirms the name of Britney Spears' next single

Just two days after Britney Spears released her highly anticipated video for "Hold It Against Me," the 29-year-old diva is back to give fans another treat with a brief snippet from her next single, "Inside Out."

"C'mon! Won't you give me something to remember," Spears sings in the barely 10-second clip, revealed by the singer and her producer, Dr. Luke, on Twitter.

"Baby shut your mouth and turn me inside," she crescendos.

For fans, the brief snippet is a welcome treat, but hardly a surprising one, considering that Spears teased "Hold It Against Me" in similar fashion for several weeks.

In an interview with MTV News, Spears' longtime manager himself, Larry Rudolph, indicated that fans were likely to hear another song before the March 29 release of Femme Fatale, the Mississippi native's first album in three years.

Of the song itself, which he would only speak of obliquely on Thursday, Rudolph had high praise.

"I don't think I've been this excited about releasing a Britney single in many, many years," he said. "It's that good. That's all I'm gonna say about it at the moment. I haven't heard a final mix of it, but I should get it in the next day or two. So far, what I've heard is just extraordinary. It really is amazing. Her fans will be very happy with it. I'm trying hard to get it out before the album comes out."

Britney Spears' Femme Fatale Is Her Ray Of Light, Manager Says

On Thursday, "Jersey Shore" star DJ Pauly D told us that Britney Spears' next album, Femme Fatale, is full of "club bangers." Her manager, Larry Rudolph, gave us even more specifics about the album when we spoke to him.

"In my opinion, this is her strongest album ever. It's somewhat of a departure from what she's done. It's more mature," he told MTV News about the March 29 release. "It's more of a dance record and this really is — and I was talking a lot about [director] Jonas [Åkerlund] and coming to Jonas because of 'Ray of Light' — and this really is Britney's Ray of Light album."

Åkerlund and Madonna famously reinvented the pop star into an earthly disco queen for her "Ray of Light" video in 1998. The Ray of Light album spawned a number of songs that were dance-floor hits as well as introspective. Madge worked on the album with Patrick Leonard and William Orbit. The album was recorded shortly after her daughter Lourdes was born, and while the lyrics are reflective, the sounds are electronic based.

While he didn't go into specifics, Rudolph did explain that the vibe of this first single and video may be a sign of what's to come on the album. "I feel like Jonas is a really good fit for her. They worked so well together so I gotta believe that they'll work again on this album project," he said. "I'm hoping that that happens and we do see more of that."

For Britney, working with Åkerlund was a passion project that, according to Rudolph, turned out to be an incredibly creative collaboration.

"She's always been a huge fan of his and his name has always come up. And there's always been something that stopped us from doing it, whether it be his availability or her timing, but we were really determined to make it happen this time," he said of hooking up with Åkerlund for the video. "He immediately had 20 different ideas and they got together and they talked about it and it took on a life of its own. We're really excited about it. In my opinion it's one of the top two or three videos of all time. It's a total departure for her. It's more mature. [There are] interesting things going on there that you have to dig deep to see."
