The lovely Ms. Katy Perry will soon be making the jump from pop superstar to queen of 3D with her upcoming concert movie, Katy Perry: Part of Me.

The voluptuous, Grammy-winning artist is offering fans the chance to walk the red carpet with her when the film premieres this summer, to boot.

Check out a video of Katy promoting the “Golden Ticket” to the film below ...

From Paramount Insurge Pictures, the same studio that brought us Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, it's safe to say this film won't disappoint the faithful.

The studio, Perry and Twitter have combined forces to offer her legion of fans multiple opportunities to help shape the film as it is being put together, too.

That's even more exciting than our gallery of Katy Perry pictures ... or at least it's pretty close. It's a pretty awesome gallery we've compiled at THG.

Madonna has come under attack from Deadmau5, one of the world's most famous DJs, for glamorizing ecstasy use, allegedly, during a recent concert.

Her Madgesty took the stage at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami this weekend, asking crowd, "How many people in this crowd have seen molly?"

"Molly" is a slang term for MDMA, one of the key ingredients in ecstasy, a drug hugely popular within the electronic dance music community.

Incidentally (or not) Madonna's new album, which drops today, is called MDNA. Watch her address the crowd at the 45-second mark below:

The crowd apparently loved the veiled inquiry from Madonna, but Deadmau5 is not a fan at all, going on Facebook and tearing her a new one.

"Very classy there madonna. 'HUR DUR HAS ANYONE SEEN MOLLY???' such a great message for the young music lovers at ultra," he wrote.

The Mau5 added, "Quite the f'n philanthropist. but hey, at least yer HIP AND TRENDY! f*cking cant smack my head hard enough right now."

Bottom line: Mind-altering drugs are not cool, ravers. So says a man-mau5 whose fan base is probably on them 97 percent of the time.

Katy Perry channeled two of her contemporaries this weekend with a cover of Rihanna's "Only Girl" and Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" in Manchester (UK).

The singer has teased an upcoming collaboration with Rihanna - though it's unclear what that will entail specifically - and paid homage to her BFF here.

Perry has been touring Europe, where she's been linked to model Baptiste Giabiconi, in the wake of her surprising divorce from zany comic Russell Brand.

Take a listen to the live Gaga-Rihanna medley below ...

It's here.

Following weeks of hype, Justin Beber has released "Boyfriend," the debut track off the singer's upcoming album, which is rumored to include Kanye West and Drake.

“seeing all the comments on #BOYFRIEND is amazing. #MUCHLOVE. now let’s get it to #1!!! BIEBERBLAST!! thanks” Justin Tweeted last night, soon after the single hit the Internet. Give it a listen now:

So... what do you think? We've posted the lyrics to "Boyfriend" below.

Haley Reinhart returned to the stage that made her famous on last night American Idol results show.

The fun, growling singer donned some wild hair and incorporated some cages into her debut of the single "Free," which is now available for download and which is off Haley's debut album. It comes out on May 22.

Take a look and a listen at the third-place finisher from season 10 now:

Did Haley outperform Lana Del Rey, who sang a version of her hit "Video Games?" Watch both renditions and decide for yourself.

Is Madonna's new album MDNA one giant shot at ex Guy Ritchie?

The icon's eight-year marriage to the director  ended bitterly in 2008. One year later, she opened up to Rolling Stone, admitting the union was "challenging."

Had their marriage not ended, the singer said she might have "thrown [herself] off a building." That's a bit extreme, but it sounds like ending it was best.

Still, is her bitterness at Ritchie on display in her 12th album?

Madonna - Girl Gone Wild (Lyric Video)

Madonna, who's now dating dancer Brahim Zaibat, 24, has come up with an intense set of pumping synth-pop and electronic dub-step tracks for MDNA.

The lyrics contain the really hard-hitting material, however, and not just in the cryptically titled "I F*%ked Up." There appear to be overt shots taken.

"Didn't have a prenup," she bemoans in "I Don't Give A." On the blistering "Love Spent," Madge cracks, "Would you have married me if I were poor?"

Ouch. Looks like the Queen of Pop always gets the last word. MDNA drops on Monday morning. Will you be purchasing Madonna's latest release?

SPOILER ALERT: It was not a good night for Erika Van Pelt on Thursday. This American Idol hopeful was sent home after a disappointing Billy Joel cover the evening before.

But what about Lana Del Rey? Did she redeem herself on one of the country's biggest stages, after she so memorably flopped on another (Saturday Night Live)? In a word: meh.

Del Rey simply might not be suited for the live stage, considering how breathless she sounds at times and, yes, just how boring she comes across as a performance. Make like Randy, Steven and J. Lo and judge for yourself now:

Katy Perry's official "Part of Me" music video has just been released, and it's an homage to all things girl power. Specifically, the few, the proud, the Marines.

It starts with Miss Perry sitting in a car, watching her beau attempt to work it with another girl. She storms into a gas station and a confrontation ensues.

While storming out, she lays eyes on a bumper sticker on the community board that reads, "All women are created equal, then some become Marines."

Perry, who wrote this song two years ago (it's not a slap at Russell Brand) enlists and dons some camo gear and boots. It's a pretty hot look on her, no?

Katy Perry - Part of Me

Katy, who has recently been linked to model Baptiste Giabiconi, has performed her latest single live on numerous occasions in the U.S. and in Europe.

Madonna's big new album MDNA finally drops next week, and her latest offering from it has leaked online. In "I F*%ked Up," she sings about ... how she did just that.

As the title indicates, her Madgesty contemplates a past misdeed.

“I f*%ked up,” she sings. “I made a mistake ... Nobody does it better then myself ... I’m sorry ... I’m not afraid to say ... I wish I could take it back, but I can’t.”

For what, she doesn't say, but deep stuff, right?

She soon kicks up in a notch to a mid-tempo dance groove, so it's not entirely a downer of a track from our favorite "Girl Gone Wild." Take a listen to it below:

Madonna - I F*%ked Up

Looks like that douche Joe Francis can rest at ease.

The music video premiere of Madonna‘s “Girl Gone Wild” (girl singular, not girls plural) has just occurred, and contains no topless drunk girls on Spring Break.

No copyright infringement here. Just uptempo artistry.

Instead, fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott directed the 53-year-old icon in a black-and-white video for the song, her second off of MDNA.

“Girl Gone Wild” and the rest of Madonna‘s new album will be released next Monday (March 26). Take a look at her latest effort here and see what you think:
