Rihanna on the set of "You Da One"
Cranking out yet another masterful music video, Rihanna was spotted shooting scenes for “You Da One” in London, England today (November 30).
The “We Found Love” songstress worked her magic in ripped denim hot pants and a white vest with a blonde wig as she danced through a raunchy routine.
Details About Madonna's New Ballad Revealed
From Madonnarama: Guy Oseary recently confirmed the rumours about a ballad Madonna recorded for her own movie W.E.
Now, we at Madonnarama can finally reveal the title; it’s called “Masterpiece” and it has been produced by William Orbit.
The song seems to be about what it feels to love and be loved like a piece of art and how fragile this love can be.
From what we hear Madonna’s voice is absolutely stunning in it, and the track is very orchestral.
The song will be featured on the soundtrack of the movie and should also be included on Madonna’s upcoming album.

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.

Nicki Minaj Readies ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ for Valentine’s Day
Roman is getting his revenge this Valentine’s Day. Nicki Minaj has announced the title and release date for her next album.
Pink Friday: ROMAN RELOADED will serve as the follow-up to last year’s platinum-selling debut Pink Friday, which spawned the hit single “Super Bass.” It is slated for release on February 14, 2012.
The title is based off Nicki’s flamboyant alter ego Roman Zolanski, described as her gay male counterpart. He can be heard rapping on the Eminem-assisted “Roman’s Revenge” and Trey Songz’ “Bottoms Up.”
The Young Money raptress took to Twitter to inform her Barbz of the exciting news. “Pink Friday : ROMAN RELOADED will be released on Valentines Day, 2012. Heeeee’s baaaacccckkkkk,” she tweeted.
It’s unclear whether the project will be comprised of all new recordings or be a re-release of her debut with additional material.
The two-time AMA winner joined David Guetta in Los Angeles this week to shoot a video for “Turn Me On,” the next single off the French DJ’s album Nothing But the Beat.

New Toy-Box album and world tour confirmed for 2012
Known by fans as Aqua’s "biggest copycat", the comparisons between Toy-Box and Aqua were uncanny. The vocals sounded similar, they both released two successful albums, and they both disbanded randomly and without warning. Since Aqua's reunion four years ago, questions began to rise as to whether Toy-Box would see Aqua’s comeback as an opportunity to reunite too. Well, whether or not Aqua’s reunion played a role in Toy-Box’s decision, we are happy to announce that the rumours are indeed true: Toy-Box have confirmed their comeback for 2012!
That’s right, Aneela Mirza has officially revealed that she and Amir will be reuniting in 2012 as the bubblegum duo Toy-Box. In a post on her official blog, Aneela revealed that they have big plans for Toy-Box next year, and will start by releasing their third studio album!
"The entire Toy-Box team is very excited about this new album, and we are working very hard to deliver the best album imaginable. 2012 will unite us with all you wonderful people once again, as we start our World tour."

Dr. Dre Plans to Take a Break from Music
Detox will have to wait. Dr. Dre is planning to take a brief break from recording, once again delaying his long-awaited album.
“I’m gonna just wrap it up for a minute because I’ve been working on music for 27 years now and the longest I’ve ever been out of the studio in 27 years has been two weeks,” the hip-hop icon told FADER TV.
But that doesn’t mean he’s hanging up the mic. “I’m never gonna stop music. It’s like air to me,” he added. “I’m gonna take a little bit of a break, enjoy some time with the family, until I get that itch to get back in.”
While Detox is not on his priority list, the business mogul has been spending his time promoting his Beats by Dr. Dre headphones and working on developing his artists Slim the Mobster and Kendrick Lamar.

No more #1s for Katy Perry
Kemosabe will become Sony’s fourth label division, with Dr. Luke reporting directly to Mr. Morris. The label is expected to become operational in January, and Dr. Luke will have free rein to hire staff members and sign artists. One trade-off: because he can now produce only Sony artists, Dr. Luke will not be able to work with Ms. Perry, who records for EMI.

Kreayshawn Wants To Mix Genres On Her Debut
In between gigs on tour, Kreayshawn is squeezing in some studio time and looking to lock down the finishing touches on her still-in-the-works proper first album. After her mixtape Kittys x Choppas spawned the viral hit "Gucci Gucci," Kreay's fans have been wondering when she will put out more musical magic on her official debut album.
"I'm on tour right now, so we've been touring everywhere," she told MTV News about grinding out new music. "But we have almost half of the album done. As the artist, it's hard cause I'm like 'Oh, I want to rerecord it; oh I don’t like this.' So it's just all about being less crucial on yourself and putting things out."
The 22-year-old plans on including a melting pot of genres on the album since she doesn't want to be pigeon-holed. "Me, personally, I listen to a whole bunch of different genres of music, so my album is definitely going to have a whole bunch of different sounds for everyone to listen to," she explained. "And to open people up to other types of music. I'm not aiming towards like being all radio hits. I just want to put my message out there and spread new music."
So, will Kreayshawn hook up with anyone and get some features on the album? It seems unlikely and she has a very specific reason why. "I do have people I want to do features with," she said, adding this caveat, "I really want to keep the album, since it's my first album, I want to keep it about me and kind of about what my sound is and my family."

More performers added for the AMAs
The performer roster for the upcoming 2011 American Music Awards continues to grow. The show, which airs on November 20 on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/PT, will feature performances from party starters LMFAO, Chris Brown and Marc Anthony. The three stars will join a previously announced group of performers that includes Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Pitbull and Maroon 5. The host-free event will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live and be preceded by a one-hour red carpet ABC special at 7 p.m. The action will start even earlier with an online pre-show beginning at 5 p.m. EST hosted by former 'NSYNC member Lance Bass, with help from Michael Buckley, Estelle, Sarah Hyland, Audrina Patridge, Josh Sussman and Xzibit. Aguilera and Maroon 5 will hook up to play their current smash hit "Moves Like Jagger."
Last month, in a nomination special hosted by Pitbull and Nicki Minaj, it was revealed that Perry would head into the show as one of the night's most-nominated acts (along with fellow females Adele, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift), up for Artist of the Year, Pop or Rock Music: Favorite Female Artist and Adult Contemporary Music: Favorite Artist. It's somewhat fitting, given not only the rather huge year she's had, but that she also delivered a full-throttle version of her hit "Firework" at last year's AMAs.
For the fifth year, American Music Award winners will be determined by online voting. Fans can support their favorites in all categories by heading over to AMAVote.com.
