Cee Lo Is Recording Music With Gwyneth Paltrow
How much did Cee Lo like Gwyneth Paltrow's cover of his song "F**k You" on Glee? This much: "We're actually working on something [together]," he told E! "We've been considering a few things actually. You know, we'll see what pans out. It's a little too early to commit to a statement and I won't ruin the surprise because whatever we're going to do is going to be extra cool ... keep your toes crossed." In fact, Cee Lo says he'd love to appear on Glee himself, but only if things can get significantly less kid-friendly in his episode. "They gotta keep it real with me. If they're ready to go there and get down and dirty, then we got ourselves a deal!"

Cher Lloyd 'signs to Jay-Z's record label'
Cher Lloyd has signed a deal to join Jay-Z's record label, it has been reported.
The X Factor singer, who came fourth overall in the ITV reality show, has joined Jay-Z's Roc Nation, which currently houses artists such as Willow Smith and Lil' Kim.
"Even though Cher didn't do terrifically well in the X Factor finals, there's been a hell of a lot of interest in her," a source told The Sun. "All the labels are on the lookout for sassy, young female artists with bags of attitude, and Cher fits that bill perfectly."
Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am previously revealed that he wanted to take Lloyd "under his wing", but it now appears that he has lost out on her signature.
"Will.i.am's backing only intensified the battle to get her signature," the source added. "After weighing up the pros and cons, it was thought that the team at Roc Nation would be best placed to turn her dreams of stardom into a reality."
Jay-Z was first linked with a move for the 17-year-old in November after admitting that he was a fan of her X Factor performances.
