Pop superstar Katy Perry suited up for a high-energy performance of "Part Of Me", at the 2012 Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday (March 31st), where Perry also collected a blimp for Favorite Animated Voice for her work on 'The Smurfs'.

While her energy and the performance set were both commendable, her vocals, on the other hand, were (once again) running behind the action as the superstar completely sounded winded and out of breath by the second verse. Watch below:

'American Idol' champion Kris Allen returned to his old stomping ground to talk about his sophomore album 'Thank You Camellia' and the direction of the set's lead single "The Vision of Love", which is now available on iTunes. Watch below:

R&B songstress Monica kicked off the NCAA Final Four match-up with a low-key rendition of the National Anthem on Saturday, March 31st, where the Louisville Cardinals were defeated by the Kentucky Wildcats with a close score of 69 to 61.

The singer, who will release 'New Life' on April 10th, delivered a mellow rendition of the classic that was both subtle and powerful (at different times). Watch below:

Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of music stars Beyonce and Jay-Z, makes a big splash on our fourth annual countdown of the Top 10 Celebrity Kids, but does the adorable newborn have what it takes to dethrone Halle Berry's cute toddler Nahla, who has topped the list for three straight years. View the list after the cut:

She is hot on the promotional trail for her feature film debut 'Battleship', but that did not stop Rihanna from taking time out of her busy schedule to strike a pose for the new issue of Friday magazine, a publication that is available in Switzerland.

On Friday (March 30th), Stacey 'Fergie' Ferguson was spotted celebrating her birthday with her friends at the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Three days earlier on March 27th, the Black Eyed Peas front-woman turned 37 and while her actor husband Josh Duhamel was not present at the celebration, she reveals that her brief time out of the spotlight with him has been "wonderful".

The Queen is back on the prowl! Lil' Kim readies her attack in a newly-released promotional photo shot by Mike Antonio, who also shot the artwork for her new singles "If You Love Me" and "Keys to the City", with Young Jeezy. Fierce!

His new single "Boyfriend" currently holds the top position on the iTunes charts and now, Justin Bieber has released a 20-second teaser of the single's visual, which was directed by Colin Tilley in Los Angeles. Watch Bieber's teaser below:

T.I. is gearing up for his big return and as a result, the star has released a short snippet of "Love This Life", the first single from his upcoming album 'Troubled Man'. Produced by Mars of 1500 or Nothin', the full track is slated to premiere on Monday (April 2nd) at 8PM ET. Listen to a thirty-second preview after the cut:

R&B singer Chris Brown has unveiled the single cover for "Sweet Love", the sexually-charged new single from his fifth studio project 'Fortune', due May 8th.

It appears that CNN was falsely informed when they reported 'The Shanertance' as the title of Usher's new album, because the R&B superstar has revealed that his seventh project is entitled 'Looking For Myself' and will arrive on June 12th.

Preceded by the breathtaking new single "Climax", the album is also expected to include the songs "Scream", "Euphoria", "Numb" and "Sins of a Father", as well as, production courtesy of Salaam Remi, Jim Jonsin, Rico Love and Diplo.

One year after releasing the worldwide smash "On the Floor", Jennifer Lopez reunites with Pitbull and producer RedOne on "Dance Again", her new single.

Who says lightning doesn't strike in the same place twice? Although "Dance" is not as lethal as their original outing, it is still very much a monster of a track with a palpitating and infectious aura that is sure to make it a main fixture on stations.

With her new project 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded' hitting stores on April 3rd, Nicki Minaj appeared on 'American Idol' to perform "Starships", from the set.

In terms of energy, this was a much better effort from the rap phenom, but sadly, nothing can camouflage the fact that Minaj has very little stage presence. Below:

With its June 8th release date drawing closer, Magnolia Pictures has released a new poster for the forthcoming drama 'Bel Ami', which stars Robert Pattinson, Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas. [Watch the Trailer]

In the film, the 'Twilight' stud stars as a young man named Georges Duroy, who rises to power in Paris through manipulation of the City of Light’s most influential  and wealthy women.  It was  directed by Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod.

We're use to seeing Rihanna stripping down for magazine covers and videos, so it would be safe to assume that the star is confident in her body. Not so much. In an interview with 'Daybreak', the star reveals she is never one percent confident.

She also dished about her first feature film 'Battleship', growing up in Barbados, getting teased for being biracial and how her culture influences her. Watch below:

Alabama native Lionel Richie has re-recorded thirteen of his biggest singles as country songs for his new album, 'Tuskegee', and the first video to be released in support of the set is "Endless Love", a record that earned him two Grammy nominations with the iconic Diana Ross in 1982, but now features Shania Twain.

Starting with positives... The video is visually a triumph and Twain looks stunning at 46-years-old. With that said, the remake in no way, shape or form compares to the original with Ross and its mostly due to Twain's flaccid vocals. Watch it below:

Big news for Kris Allen fans!! The season eight 'American Idol' champion has revealed the album title and the expected release date for his sophomore album.

The "Live Like We're Dying" singer will release 'Thank You Camellia', which features songs all co-written by Allen, on May 22nd via RCA Records. Listen to a few (amazing) live snippets of songs that will be included on the new album here.

In a revealing and candid interview, Dawn Richard opens up on Power 105.1's 'The Breakfast Club', to discuss her involvement in music groups Danity Kane and Dirty Money, her relationship with Que and going the independent direction with 'Armor On', which currently holds the No.1 spot on iTunes R&B/Soul charts.

Watch the budding star, who made waves with her 'Bombs' video, open up below:

Fresh off the release of the second installment in his 'Art Dealer Chic' collection, Miguel unveils the official video for "Arch & Point", one of the set's three sets.

In the video, the "Sure Thing" singer channels his inner Prince by playing the electric guitar and the single is simply to die for. Watch the new clip after the cut:

As Miguel continues to prepare his sophomore studio project, the R&B crooner continues to wet the appetite of his fans by releasing the first two volumes of his 'Art Dealer Chic' series, which feature a total of six new songs. Download below:

Toni Braxton has premiered the video for "I Heart You", the first release from her upcoming studio album 'Heartstrings & Synagogue Vibes', which will also air following the annual sophomore season reunion of 'Braxton Family Values'.

Directed by Bille Woodruff, who has crafted the majority of her videos, the clip is lackluster in every form from the overall look down to Braxton's awful wigs and lack of choreography. That said, the single is still a gem. Watch the visual below:

Jennifer Lopez has unveiled the smoking-hot single cover for "Dance Again", her brand new single, which is scheduled to invade Itunes on Friday, March 30th.

Listen to a preview of the RedOne-produced and Pitbull-featured single below:

With 'The Hunger Games' currently dominating the box-office, it should come as no surprise that Jennifer Lawrence covers the April 12 issue of Rolling Stone.

The film took in a staggering $152.5 million over the weekend, which outranks all of the 'Twilight' movies and claims the third-biggest opening weekend of all-time, and having seen the movie, I can honestly say it is a great reflection of the book.

The-Dream introduces his latest Radio Killa Records signee Casha in the video for "Kill the Lights", a duet from his forthcoming fourth album 'Love IV MMXII'.

For those unfamiliar with Casha, she previously collaborated with Yung Berg on "The Business", which peaked at No.6 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and No.33 on the Hot 100. Get briefly reacquainted with the new star below:

R&B singer Chris Brown keeps the 'Fortune' train rolling with "Sweet Love", the first of two dual singles that will serve as the next releases from his fifth album.

The song is easily the best offering to surface from the upcoming album thus far, yet it still offers no progression from the singer in the form of its lyrical content or his vocal approach. It is pretty much a 2012 version of his 2008 smash hit "Take You Down", just not nearly as good or memorable. Listen to the single beneath:

Yesterday (March 28th), Rihanna joined forces with her co-stars Taylor Kitsch and Brooklyn Decker at the Corinthia Hotel in London for a photo-call meeting to promote their upcoming film 'Battleship', which is due in theaters on May 18th.

During the meeting, the Barbados-born star got irritated when a reporter asked her about the rumors that she's dating Ashton Kutcher [Watch Her Response].

Her 'Armor On' set arrived on Itunes today and now, Dawn Richard issues the video for the project's lead release "Bombs" - written and produced by Druski.

The clip is visually stunning (and well thought out), especially when you consider that Richard is an independent artist that doesn't have the funds at her exposal that artists funded by major labels do, yet she delivers a video that is superior to most. Peep the newly-released video from the former Danity Kane star beneath:

'Basketball Wives' diva Evelyn Lozada covers the Decades issue of Kontrol, which sees the 36-year-old rocking a hot pink Dolce & Gabbana sequined dress.

The vixen is in the process of planning her forthcoming nuptials to New England Patriots wide receiver Chad Ochocinco, for their new spinoff show 'Ev & Ocho'.

Curvy rapper Trina takes on a new direction to match her new image on "Outer Space", featuring Kid Cadet and Vinny Venditto, from her forthcoming album.

While its hard to blame the veteran for trying to adapt to a sound that is currently dominating the charts, with "Outer Space", she simply comes up empty-handed and its mostly due to her delivery, or better yet, inability to delivery her lines with at a pace that actually coincides with the track, which was produced by Venditto.

As we have seen with the majority of her songs, the beat changes between each track, but Taylor's flow never does and it often makes the songs feel disoriented, an on-going issue that is even more apparent in her latest release. Listen below:

Hip-hop veteran Lil' Kim has unveiled the single artwork for "Keys to the City", featuring Young Jeezy, which was shot by famed photographer Mike Antonio.

The rapper recently revealed that legal troubles prevented her from releasing a follow-up to her critically-acclaimed studio project, 'The Naked Truth', for which, she famously became the first and only female rapper to earn a 5-mic rating from The Source magazine. As for the single cover, I have no positive words to share.

Australian phenomenon Iggy Azalea is out for blood on the T.I.-assisted "Murda Bizness", the lead single from her forthcoming debut album 'The New Classic'.

Simply put, the Bei Maejor-produced track and its star are a breath of fresh air. While Iggy's delivery was uneven at times, the production makes up for it and the song should serves as a proper introduction for her. Listen to the song beneath:

Country superstar Carrie Underwood has unveiled the official track list for her fourth album 'Blown Away', which is slated to arrive on May 1st. Take it in below:

She has two huge films on the horizon with 'Prometheus' and 'Snow White and the Huntsman', but ahead of their releases, Charlize Theron graces the cover of the South African edition of Women's Health for the publication's April issue.

In the new issue, the 36-year-old actress chats about her unpopular high school days, her definition of femininity and her Africa Outreach Project. Simply stunning!

Country crooner Luke Bryan has premiered the video for his new single "Drunk On You", which serves as a sequel to his "I Don't Want This Night to End" video.

Directed once-again by Shaun Silva, the video serves as good conclusion to its predecessor as it sees the Bryan struggling to forget a girl that he briefly crossed paths and had the night of his life with. See the dramatic conclusion after the cut:

Lil' Kim released to her last album 'The Naked Truth' in 2005 to stellar reviews, but in the seven years that followed, the music vet has yet to release a follow-up and in a new interview, she finally sheds light on the reason behind her absence.

See what the star, who recently performed on 'Rip the Runway', had to say below:

R&B songstress Toni Braxton teamed up with her mentor Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds for a performance of her 1997 release "How Could An Angel Break My Heart", at their joint concert at Caesar's Palace in Atlantic City on March 24th.

It would be really amazing if the "Unbreak My Heart" beauty would link back up with her mentors (Babyface and L.A Reid) for a new studio album, because she hasn't been able to create the magic alone that they created with first two albums.

Watch the stars, who have a combined 16 Grammy Awards, hit the stage below:

Underrated star Ameriie has released a new track in the form of "Every Time", which is the first release from her forthcoming EP, 'The Prelude'. The mini-LP is expected to lead into her fifth studio album 'Cymatika, Vol.1', due later this year.

Produced Focus, the record recalls work from her debut album 'All I Have' with its rich R&B sound and while it is a solid outing, it is also sounds extremely dated.

R&B crooner Trey Songz is looking to cure his broken heart on "Heart Attack", the first single from his upcoming fifth studio set 'Chapter V', due later this year.

Crafted by Benny Blanco and Rico Love, the emotionally-charged song is solid in every aspect (vocals, production, lyrical content), but it simply doesn't register as a strong single release. With that said, Songz deserves props for choosing to switch it up from his usual sex driven records. Take in his new single after the cut:

Pop heartthrob Justin Bieber returns with "Boyfriend", the highly-anticipated first release from his forthcoming studio album 'Believe', due out later this year.

Produced by Mike Posner, the track boasts more of an urban sound as it sees the 18-year-old choosing to rap more than he sings, and while it is a bit of a risk, it is one that pays off beautifully for the star as "Boyfriend" is a certified winner.

Not only is it infectious and destined to be a radio hit, but it accurately blends the two genres and marks a welcomed change from Bieber. Listen to the single below:
