    Jam: Spotlight on Music Stars
    • Matthew Morrison - Jordan Strauss/WireImage.com"Glee" star Matthew Morrison is preparing for a busy summer. With the recent release of his self-titled debut album, the 32-year-old star is setting off on a solo tour. He'll also be joining New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys as a special guest on their highly-anticipated tour. Check out his interview with Parade.com, where he discusses the future of "Glee," his friendship with Gwyneth Paltrow, and how he deals with the negative side of fame.

      On his first solo album: "I'm really excited. It's been a tough road just because of the beast that is 'Glee.' That's my real job and it's a lot of hours, so it was hard finding the time to just record on the weekends and try to bang this thing out. I'm just happy that it's out and off my chest and I'm getting good feedback. The best part for me is coming up, and that's going to be the live performances. That's what I do for a living, and I can't wait to be on stage singing my own songs."

      On his duet partners Elton John and Sting: "That was

    • Is Lady Gaga a Madonna rip-off? - Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImage.comFrom her shocking outfits to her bleached blond hair to her penchant for headline grabbing, the "Poker Face" singer draws heavily on Madonna's trail-blazing influence.

      But from "Alejandro" to "Born This Way," some claim that Gaga borrows a little too liberally from her icon.

      Why 'Born This Way' May Save the Music Industry

      Claims that the pop star has outright plagiarized from Madonna continue to dog Gaga in her pursuit of music industry dominance. To see just how closely "Alejandro" resembles "La Isla Bonita" and how similar "Born This Way" is to "Express Yourself," TheWrap pulled mashups of the hit songs from YouTube.

    • Nicki Minaj and Britney Spears Keep It Clean

      The dynamic duo: Britney Spears and Nicki Minaj - Ethan Miller/Getty Images for ABCNicki Minaj got a little taste of what going on tour with Britney Spears is going to be like this summer at Sunday's Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas.

      The rapper's sexy alter ego, "Lap Dance Nika," got the party started with "Super Bass," then segued into her "Till the World Ends" remix, which Spears joined her onstage for. Although Brit's performance was a little lackluster, she looked great and I have high hopes for her Femme Fatale Tour, which kicks off June16 in Sacramento, California.

      Interestingly enough, every one involved with Britney's tour has agreed to stay 100 percent drug and alcohol free while on the road. "I think it's a great thing," Nicki, 26, informed Life & Style magazine of the decision. "It's definitely not a negative thing. It's not going to affect me in any way. If that's the way Britney wants it, so be it. She's the queen of her castle. It trickles down and makes everyone responsible. I should add that there were no drugs and alcoholon the Lil Wayne tour I

    • Katy Perry Lists Her Home (and We Like It)

      Russell Brand and Katy Perry are ready to move on ... to another home that is. - Jon Furniss/WireImage.comMost guys give their girlfriends flowers, chocolates, and if they're lucky, a piece of jewelry. Comedian and actor Russell Brand, on the other hand, bought pop singer Katy Perry a stunning piece of Los Angeles real estate as a Christmas gift when they were dating.

      Best known for her catchy chart-topping hits, Perry, 26, married Brand, 35, star of recent movie "Arthur," in a private ceremony in 2010.

      Two years after Brand's $3,250,000 purchase, he and his wife are listing their piece of Los Feliz real estate for $3,395,000.

      Katy Perry and Russell Brand's home is remarkably free of the whimsical style that Perry seems to prefer. The Los Angeles Times describes the property as "stately" with a "classic exterior that belies its white contemporary interiors."

      Although Perry apparently has a vintage pink refrigerator in the updated kitchen and Brand has a "25-foot love tepee" in the yard, neither are included in the sale. The only other eclectic part of the 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath property is

    • Lady Gaga Tops Celebrity 100 List

      The men and women on Forbes' annual Celebrity 100 list -- the most powerful people in the entertainment business this year -- earned $4.5 billion over the last 12 months by starring in films, playing basketball, walking the catwalk, and more. But they also rose to the top by garnering influence.

      In Pictures: The Forbes Celebrity 100

      These days that means mastering social media. Lady Gaga topples Oprah Winfrey from her No.1 spot on our list, which she's given up for only the third time in seven years. Gaga is there not just because of the $90 million she earned with a monster tour, but also because of her 32 million Facebook fans and 9.5 million Twitter followers -- aka Little Monsters -- who helped move 1 million digital downloads of her recent single "Born This Way" in only five days. They're also happy to buy the MAC makeup, Monster headphones, and Virgin Mobile phones she features in her videos.

      According to Forbes , Lady Gaga is the world's most powerful celebrity. - Dave Hogan/Mission Pictures/Getty ImagesAlthough he's only 17, Justin Bieber earned $53 million over the past year! - The Image Gate/Getty Images

    • Alexi Lubomirski/Harper's BazaarBritney Spears endured a couple of rough years in the Hollywood spotlight. (Remember the head-shaving incident? Her bitter custody battle? The stints in rehab?) Fortunately, with a little help from her parents James and Lynne -- she was placed under the permanent conservatorship of her father in 2008 -- the 29-year-old pop star appears to have turned her life around. She's received the best reviews of her career for her new album, Femme Fatale, is in a happy relationship with agent Jason Trawick, and loves being a mom to her two sons with ex-hubby Kevin Federline: Sean Preston, 5, and Jayden James, 4. Hmmm... maybe things have actually settled down for Brit because aside from her millions, she's really kind of normal.

      For example, in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar, Spears describes her perfect day as: "Getting up with coffee -- two cups of coffee. Having a good workout, taking a swim, my boys being there, and just having a good day at the pool -- we

    • Lady Gaga rocks the cover of V . - V magazineSince she's an icon herself, Lady Gaga clearly knows a thing or two about pop culture. That's why V magazine has given the 25-year-old singer her own monthly column.

      In her debut piece -- which appears in The Asian Issue -- the pop star writes that, "Glam culture is ultimately rooted in obsession, and those of us who are truly devoted and loyal to the lifestyle of glamour are masters of its history. Or, to put it more elegantly, we are librarians." She continues, "I myself can look at almost any hemline, silhouette, beadwork or heel architecture and tell you very precisely who designed it after them, and what cultural and musical movement parented the birth, death, and resurrection of that particular trend." This is just an excerpt from Gaga's long-winded entry, which continues on for two full pages!

      In fact, the woman born Stefani Germanotta takes over V's entire issue, from the three-headed Lady Gaga cover to her interview with Elton John about her concern for Japan.

      But on Wednesday, Chris got back down to business with ... Justin Bieber. The two are reportedly shooting a music video for "Next 2 You," a track off Brown's F.A.M.E. album featuring JBiebs. In March, Brown told MTV News that "being able to collab with [Bieber] was great. He's a young, energetic cat, so being able to work with him, with the fanbase he has, was incredible.
