Katy Perry Developing 3D Concert Movie

Katy Perry is in talks with Paramount to create a 3D movie documenting the singer's live show. The studio, along with Imagine Entertainment, are still in early stages of developing the project, which is largely dependent on the logistics of filming, staging and releasing the movie. A source close to the deal says Paramount hopes to follow the template of last year's Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, which now holds the box office record for the most successful concert film in the United States with a gross of $73 million.

Disney has also had great success with 3D concert movies in the recent past, with Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour and Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience both pulling in grosses that eclipsed studio expectations. Fox's Glee: The 3D Concert Movie, however, was a flop when it was released last year.

New Depeche Mode album to be released "no later than early 2013"

With Depeche Mode returning to the studio in March, the first word of a timetable for the band’s 13th album has emerged: Martin L. Gore tells German magazine Sonic Seducer that the record will be released “no later than early 2013,” according to fansite Home.

Gore also tells Italian Vogue that he can’t really tour his new VCMG album — recorded with ex-DM member Vince Clarke — because he’s already starting work on songs for the follow-up to 2009′s Sounds of the Universe: “It’s still all a little hazy, but I’ve written a bit of music: we’ll see each other soon and start working together.”

That follows Andy Fletcher’s revelation in late last year that Depeche Mode was slated to reconvene this month ahead of its recording session: “We got a meeting in January and it looks like we’re going to start recording a new album in March or something like that.”

Following the release of Sounds of the Universe, Depeche Mode toured the world for nearly a full year, wrapping up the “Tour of the Universe” in February 2010 in Germany. Since then, the band has released both a live album and DVD and a remix compilation, and contributed a cover of U2′s “So Cruel” to an Achtung Baby tribute album.

Britney to be featured on will.i.am's new album

The Holy Spearit will continue to bless us with new tunes in 2012–even if it’s not through her own music.

In an interview with Capital FM, Black Eyed Peas front-man Will.I.Am confirmed that Britney will be featured on his upcoming album, #willpower.

From the interview:

"Speaking about the album’s collaborations, Will.i.am said: “I have a song with Alicia Keys – me, Alicia and Swedish House Mafia. I have a song with The Beats, which is pretty grand. Me and Shakira have been trying to finish the stuff we started, and me and Britney is really crazy.”

My personal feelings on Mr. I.Am aside, I could NOT be happier to hear that we’re about to hear a new tune from The One And Only Miss Spears. Here’s hoping the song features only Britney’s vocals! (A boy can dream.)

Y’all ready for the kick drum? For the kick drum? The bass is about to get EVEN. BIG-GAH.
