Michele, 27, will sing the song for the first time live on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Thursday (Dec. 12)....
Jewel Kilcher, better known simply as Jewel, looked shockingly busty in a low-low cut gown during her performance at the 81st Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in New York City. Fortunately we’ll see a lot more of her on NBC’s “The Sing Off.” The 39-year-old pop, folk, country and rock singer, who also dabbles in acting, is replacing Sara Bareilles as a judge on the talent competition show’s fourth season....
Lorde, the latest teen pop sensation from New Zealand, continues to fashion herself as a working class hero in her latest video for her song “Team,” about a close-knit group of kids living on the decaying fringes of a major industrial city. The video is equal parts post-apocalyptic vision and modern-day teen alienation....
Justin Bieber spends his waking hours cruising strip clubs and Brazilian brothels, but in his new video for “All that Matters,” all he longs for is a steady relationship. Leave it up to Bieber’s fans to sort out the contradictions. The 19-year-old singer and model Cailin Russo go one-on-one in the new video....
Selena Gomez let her skin-tight red leather hotpants get away from her during her energetic performance at the Dallas Cowboys half-time show on Thanksgiving Day. She flashed a little too much south of the border for comfort. Selena is no Miley Cyrus and usually wears padding or tights with such a risque outfit....
Miley Cyrus gave an emotional performance of her hit song “Wrecking Ball” at the American Music Awards, but her performance was trivialized by the image of a giant singing kitten superimposed in the background. Hopefully, Miley was in on the joke. She’s known to be a good sport, and judging by her outfit she was....
Justin Bieber is sticking with his promise to unveil a new song every Monday leading up to the release of his new “Believe” documentary, and this week the song is “Rollercoaster,” which could pretty much sum up his life at this point. The song is another peppy, dance-infused pop tune....
Demi Lovato does a pretty good impression of Blue Man Group in the video for her new song “Neon Lights.” Or is she a smurf? That could more be the ticket. Demi sings fiercely with blue hair and skin and shocking pink lipstick. But the 21-year-old singer is all glamour as the video opens....
Christina Aguilera showcases her crystalline voice with A Great Big World in a moving video for “Say Something,” a heart-wrenching song about love and loss. The video is as sparse and moving as the song. A Great Big World, comprised of Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino, recorded the song and it became the second single on their debut studio album, Is There Anybody Out There?, released earlier this year....
Katy Perry rolled out the special effects and sky-high production value to create her latest video for her song “Unconditionally.” At times, signing the pop power ballad, she looks like she’s in a arthouse movie. Is she angling for a movie career? A move into movies at this stage in her career makes perfect sense for the “I Kissed A Girl” singer....
Ariana Grande is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. She released a cover today (Nov. 19) of “Last Christmas,” a song first released by British pop duo Wham! on Epic Records in 1984.

Kylie Minogue, the Australian singing sensation shows she’s still got it at 45 in a stunning new photo spread in the German edition of GQ magazine.

Selena Gomez brought the stage production of her hit song “Slow Down” to the “X Factor” last night (Nov. 14). She dazzled the audience with a full complement of backup dancers, wearing a black bodysuit with a fringe style skirt and knee-high hooker boots. The 21-year-old singer has been on the road promoting her new album through her “Stars Dance” tour....
Miley Cyrus toned down her act to sing an acoustic cover of Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness” on BBC-One Radio’s “Live Lounge,” a show that features music stripped of all but the bare essentials. Miley keeps her clothes on this time, but does manage a small tongue wag when she introduces the show....
Elton John’s latest album, The Diving Board is his first solo album in six years and first recording since his collaboration with Leon Russell and T. Bone Burnett (The Union) in 2006.
