Stuntmen, foreign directors, and shoes flying through the air were all a big part of the making of  Katy Perry‘s ‘Wide Awake’ video. In honor of the clip being nominated for Video of the Year at the 2012 Video Music Awards, MTV has released nearly 20 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot.

A song called ‘Don’t Be Messin’ ‘Round’ that Michael Jackson considered for four separate albums but never released has finally surfaced. A demo version of the track from 1987 was issued as part of the rollout of new music for the upcoming 25th anniversary edition of Jackson’s ‘Bad’ album.

Sheryl Crow has tended to laugh off the onstage moments where she forgets lyrics, but it turns out her memory lapses were a sign of a serious medical issue. “I worried about my memory so much that I went and got an MRI,” she told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “And I found out I have a brain tumor. And I was, like, ‘See? I knew there was something wrong.’”

In a new clip from her upcoming ‘Katy Perry: Part of Me’ documentary, the ‘Teenage Dream’ singer shows fans what she does on her days off between concerts, which typically involves lots of thrill rides and visits to water parks with her sister.

Justin Bieber‘s ‘Boyfriend’ is a deliberate leap towards R&B and hip-hop, but just in case the track isn’t “street” enough, Bieber has enlisted rappers 2 Chainz and Mac Miller for the remix.

John Mayer can speak again!

Is Jennifer Lopez the most powerful celebrity in the world? Forbes magazine thinks so and has placed J.Lo atop its Celebrity 100 list, citing her “stunning career reinvention” as a judge on ‘American Idol’ and her renewed success as a performer.

Alanis Morissette‘s first album in four years, ‘Havoc and Bright Lights,’ is scheduled for an August release, but fans don’t have to wait that long to get their first taste of the new music. The first single from the record, ‘Guardian,’ was released online this week.

Matt Fiddes, Michael Jackson‘s former bodyguard, can’t seem to get his story straight when it comes to MJ’s youngest son, Prince Michael Jackson II, aka Blanket. Fiddes says he now believes he is Blanket’s biological father, and he wants visitation rights so his mother can see her alleged grandson.

Perhaps the reason Justin Bieber has been so outspoken in his efforts to reduce the rating for the documentary ‘Bully’ from R to PG-13 is that he was bullied himself. The ‘Boyfriend’ singer made the admission during a chat with Showbiz Tonight.

So much for Adele‘s plans to take some time off. The singer said that while her next album is still a couple years away, she wants to have a new song out before the end of 2012.
