Premiering on April 19th, Lady Gaga’s longtime choreographer and creative director Laurieann Gibson has shared details with MTV on what the highly anticipated "Judas" music video will entail.
“I will tell you now, first off, I’m Christian, and my career is evidence of God in my life, and I think that most people are already thinking that Gaga and the blasphemy and they’re premeditating the approach and I think they’ll be very shocked to find out how huge and really groundbreaking the message is and how freeing the message is for all the right reasons,” Gibson said. “And it’s really going to shock the world.”
The cast includes some big-name cameos as well, including Norman Reedus as Judas. “He was so prolific,” she declared of his performance, adding that the video is “badass” and that Gaga will play Mary Magdalene.
The two ladies took it upon themselves to make sure the video’s direction was perfect — so they just decided to direct it themselves.

Adele Headed Back to No. 1 On Billboard 200 Chart
Adele's "21" is on track to head back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart next week, as this past Tuesday's crop of new releases aren't posing a threat to the British singer's return to the top.
"21" may sell around 85,000 by week's end on Sunday, April 9. That would easily surpass the sales of the biggest release this week, rock band Hollywood Undead's second album, "American Tragedy," which could sell perhaps 65,000.
Britney Spears' No. 1, "Femme Fatale," will likely drop to the runner-up slot on the tally, though it's too early to tell what the album's second week total might be.

Britney Spears May Have Caught The "Acting" Bug Again!
Britney Spears is looking to reboot her acting career, reports suggest.
The singer (sometimes actress) is said to be reading through numerous film scripts with an aim to securing a role in the near future.
Spears's previous acting credits include a starring role in 2002's 'Crossroads,' as well as cameo roles in American sitcom 'How I Met Your Mother' and musical drama 'Glee.'
"Britney is very mindful that she has to evolve as an artist now she is heading towards her thirties. Music will always be a part of her life but she has come to love acting, and comedy especially.
"She is currently considering a few scripts. One is a comedy and a kind of parody of the popstar she is and the other is a more serious role which is an action movie."

Gwen Stefani Talks Makeup Disasters With Elle Magazine
In the latest issue of ELLE Magazine, Gwen Stefani sits down and talks about all things hair and makeup!
“We had home economics, and they’d bring someone in to show you how to put your makeup on.” And her studies in cosmetology continued through college, where she majored in art.
“I can draw and paint. That’s my background,” she explains. When touring solo, or with her No Doubt bandmates, the L’Oreal Paris spokesmodel does all her own stage makeup.
“I learn from makeup people now, but in the past I had a real problem with makeup artists,” Stefani admits. “I remember my first experience with a makeup artist was doing the first No Doubt album, the one that was shelved. Go back and look at how ugly I look. It is the worst makeup … From that time on, I’m thinking, I’m not going to let someone do my makeup, because they don’t know how to do it.”
She’s happy to let hair stylists work their magic, though. “For the last couple tours I’ve had hair people, which is the luxury of my life,” she says.

Kylie Minogue Already Working On Her Next Tour?!
Kylie Minogue's epic, multi-million Les Folies Tour will soon be hitting the U.S., but the singer recently revealed that once she's wrapped that, she is highly considering taking a break from that type of elaborate touring, and instead do what she's calling an "anti-tour," which would be a small, intimate show featuring b-sides and rare tracks from the DIVA's extensive catalogue!
“I don’t know how soon I would rush in to doing another pop album. I’m definitely looking into opportunities of collaborations or different performances that will keep fans satisfied, keep my interest up.
"And one of those things is the possibility of doing an anti-tour. Because my tours are bigger and bigger, there’s so much talk about the spectacle—and that’s fantastic, that’s what I want to create. But I feel like, as with all parts of my life, what I try to do is find a balance.
"I’ve never done anything like that before, something like an anti-tour where there are no dancers, there are no lights. It’s just music and doing songs that are much loved by super fans but will never, ever, ever be heard anywhere—and certainly not in a live environment.

Darkchild Talks About New Kelly Clarkson Album
Darkchild has spoken out about the song he recorded with Kelly Clarkson for her upcoming album.
“A song call “I Forgive You” that me and Lauren Christy did that’s just crazy pop-rock. The first person who came into my head to do it was Kelly Clarkson. So I sent it immediately and got a response that night. She came out to record, the energy was great and I just finished mixing it. She nailed it. It turned out great.”
Darkchild also spoke on Kelly’s label pushing her album back, insisting that it’s a good move in the long run.
“I think it’s a smart decision. With Doug [Morris] coming in [as Sony Music CEO] but not until July, it’s better to wait, get cool with him, understand what he wants do and all that. But I’m confident in the record that we did. And even though the album was pushed back, I think we can get back into the studio to do a couple more things.”

Madonna's Charity Not Being Investigated By FBI
A spokeswoman for Madonna said on Tuesday that neither the singer nor a charity she backs in Malawi is being investigated by the FBI.
Some recent unsourced media reports have said that an international education charity the singer backs, Success for Kids, is being investigated by FBI agents in Los Angeles for alleged irregularities and suspicious activity.
Last month another charity backed by Madonna, Raising Malawi, had scrapped a plan to build a school for impoverished girls in Malawi due to mismanagement. The board of that charity was sacked.
"In recent days a number of wild and totally false rumors about Madonna's philanthropy -- spread by bloggers and tabloids -- have begun appearing on the Internet," Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said in a statement.
"Neither Madonna nor Raising Malawi is being investigated by the FBI or the IRS (U.S. tax authorities). It is unfortunate that people have chosen to say things about Raising Malawi and Madonna that are not true."

Songwriter Heather Bright Praises Britney For Not Faking Writing Credits
Earlier this week hit songwriter Heather Bright made headlines when she let slip in an interview that Justin Bieber faked his writing credit on “Somebody to Love,” and that other artists like Kanye West were taking publishing money for songs they didn’t actually write themselves.
Now an entry from Heather’s personal blog is gaining attention due to comments regarding Britney Spears, who used one of Heather’s songs “Trouble for Me” on her new album 'Femme Fatale.'Rather than call out Britney like Heather did with some other artists, she instead praises the pop princess for her honesty in not taking credit for other people’s work.
"The media is talking trash about how Britney didn’t write any of the songs on her album… HELLO! Wake up everybody! NONE OF THESE ARTISTS WRITE THEIR OWN SONGS!!!!!!

Madonna Kabbalah Drama In Raising Malawi Lawsuit!
Last week Madonna was slapped with an unfair dismissal lawsuit from former employees of her Raising Malawi charity, due to the fact that plans for her new girls school in the country fell apart.
Then, we heard that Kabbalah leaders were blaming former disgruntled members for Madonna's current troubles.
Now, one year after Madonna's former personal manager Caresse Henry committed suicide, new questions are being raised by Caresse's sister Yvette Dobbie, who believes that Madonna and her connection to Kabbalah played a part in her sister's suicide.
“Madonna and Kabbalah have blood on their hands. They killed my sister as surely as if they would have pulled the trigger themselves. They don’t want to hear this, but I don’t care — I’m not in the entertainment business and I’m not intimidated by Madonna.”
“The cult aspect, the all-encompassing intrusion into her life, how you think, what you eat, how you meditate … that really didn’t sit well with my sister. She was Catholic and didn’t think this was a good thing.”

Aubrey O'Day to Drop "Automatic" Single April 12th
Aubrey O'Day will release "Automatic," an electro-charged club track, exclusively via iTunes on April 12.
The song was produced by Danity Kane collaborator Adonis, who's also scored hits with Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Usher, and O'Day tells Billboard.com that even though she "wanted to come with a ballad first just to throw people for a loop," she's happy with "Automatic" as her solo career's calling card.
" 'Automatic' is the right fit for where music is headed now," O'Day explains. "It's a pop-dance track, but I wanted to go in the club and write a song about not having to put on all the glamour and the glitz. So many dance songs are about putting on Louis Vuitton, getting dressed up and everything, and I wanted to do a song about walking in the room and getting automatically noticed and stealing everyone's attention without trying to."
"Automatic" is one of "at least 50" songs that O'Day has been working on for her solo debut album for SRC/Universal Motown, a process that's been chronicled on her Oxygen network reality series "All About Aubrey."

Rolling Stone describes a scene where she caresses a male model while lying in bed. She selected her hunky co-star after viewing applicants on the Internet, handpicking the one with the best abs.
“Hi, I’m Rihanna, nice to meet you. No boners!” she jokingly told Nathan, whom she selected.

Ke$ha Wants To Skinny Dip With Britney Spears?
How should pop DIVAS Ke$ha and Britney Spears celebrate the success of their current chart topping singles "Blow" and "Till the World Ends" – which Ke$ha wrote for Spears?
"Skinny dipping," says Ke$ha, suggesting too that the splash could follow a spin on jet skis and a themed party they'd throw together. "It would be a dress-up-like-Ke$ha-or-Britney party," she says. "Either her place or my place, it doesn't matter."
Perhaps the 24-year-old's new Nashville pad would be the prime spot for such a shindig, especially since she's recently installed an underwater stereo.
"I have a small, salt-water pool that has laser beams in it and a stereo so you can be under water listening to music," says Ke$ha, who's only had time to furnish her new place with a mattress, a Budweiser lamp and a grand piano. "It's really magical."
