Speaking to Top of the Pops magazine, the 'Young' songstress explained that it's exciting to be coming back for a second year and she thinks it will be better now as she knows what to expect from the role:

"I don't know if I'm allowed to answer. I suppose it doesn't really matter, so let's just say (I've known for) quite a while. Would it be cheeky to say I think I did a good enough job to keep my place?"

"I'm growing as a person, so you might see a change in me simply because I'm growing up, but I'm just going to be me. Whatever comes out, comes out."

The star was forced to cancel his world tour earlier this year after sustaining a fractured neck, but revealed to Seventeen magazine that he is ready to return to work:

"I'm excited, but I'm a little nervous, too. I haven't moved my neck in over three months. I'll be ready for it!"

"Starting in two weeks, I'll begin rehearsals for the show, finish recording my album, and record the winning lines from Perfect Harmony."

"I’ll be focusing on those three things. Rehearsals are eight hours a day. There will also be a lot of hardcore dancing."

He also opened up about his new album and explained that it's "definitely a little different" in terms of the style and sound:

"Every song will always sound like me because it’s me singing and writing it, but the new album is definitely a little different. I’m always trying to reinvent my sound. Also, I haven’t done any collaboration in the past, but this time around, I’m inviting some friends over to help me with the album, so there will be some guest appearances. That’s something really cool."

The lads are hard at work on their fourth studio album and member Marvin Humes explained to the Daily Star that getting the 'Take Care' superstar to guest on one of its tracks would be incredible:

"We'd love to do a record with Drake and we're going to approach him to feature on our next single as it has to be our best yet. I really want to see both him and Rihanna at Wireless Festival."

The heartthrobs are really excited about this record and Humes added: "Options are not good enough - we need an out-and-out smash. We're going to Scandinavia and America over the next few weeks to put pen to paper."

"Our fourth album is pivotal to our career. While we're very proud of what we've achieved – we've sold five million albums so far – the next album has to take us international."

The Daily Mirror has quoted 20-year-old member Louis Tomlinson as saying that it's important to be able to relate to a partner and age is a big factor in that so he would be reluctant to pursue anyone older than 24:

"We're young lads, and you can date older women when you're older. But when you're older, you can't really get away with dating 18 or 19 year olds."

"We have been asked that before, I think it was around the time of Harry's little fling. In particular, how old's too old? For me, probably 23 or 24."

The 'Pass Out' hitmaker is hard at work on the follow up record to 'Disc-Overy' and explained to Capital FM that it will have a more "indie and underground and raw" appeal, and he's particularly excited about the collaboration with Dizzee Rascal:

"I've got something on there with Dizzee Rascal, which is amazing. I've been listening to Dizzee since I was 12-years-old so that means a lot to me. I'm really, really excited about that."

"It's very hard, it's very grimy. It's the complete opposite of what people would think we were gunning for. When I played the instrumental to Dizzee he was like, 'Thank god you didn't try and get me on something that you want to make a big hit'."

Although the offering hasn't yet been given an official release date, Tinie recently confirmed its title as 'Demonstration'.

The 'Young' singer and N-Dubz member is set to release her first solo album later this year and explained to Capital FM that it showcases her ability with a range of styles and sounds:

"I think fans can expect a wide range of music. For me, I didn't want it to all be the same sound. You're going to have a track for every mood."

"I want it to be like a journey so you'll have everything from if you want to party on a night out, to big ballads if you've broken up with a boyfriend to more UK urban music."

She added: "There's a real mix on there. So variety would be the word."

Tulisa's debut solo single, 'Young', will be released on May 18 and you can watch behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot for the track below:

The 'Judas' superstar took to Twitter last night (April 18) and talked her 23.1 million followers through the items she was packing for the extensive run of dates, and explained that her "Britney thermos" was a must have:

"Leaving for Korea in the morning. Bandana. Check. Leather Jacket. Check. Machine gun. Check. Pushup bra. Check. Yep. All packed! ah yes! May also need to pack my Britney thermos (yes I have one)"

She then shared a photograph of the flask and added: "Real fans never turn their back on you #WillAlwaysLoveBritney Some stars really are as sweet as you thought they were."

Spears saw the tweets and responded: "Wonder what @LadyGaga keeps in that thermos??? Cant WAIT to see you on tour. MISS YOU!!!"

In a new interview with ITV's Daybreak, the Queen of Pop was asked if she'd like to work with the 'Set Fire To The Rain' songstress in the future and she explained:

"Yes, I would love to. I would love to meet her, I think she's brilliant, I love her. I wanted her to be in the Super Bowl with me, but I think she was having her throat problem or throat operation or something."

Back in March, Madonna publicly defended Adele after fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld made an unwelcome comment about her weight and said:

"That's ridiculous, that's just the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I don't like it when anybody says anything bad about anyone - I don't like it. Adele's a great talent and how much she weighs has nothing to do with it.''

The 'Better Than I Know Myself' powerhouse has built an incredible career for himself since leaving the televised competition and has now spoken out about his support for the stars from the current series:

"Jessica Sanchez better sing. Jeeeeeez. That first run was nuts. #futurepopmegastar. Gotta say, ALL these kids are dope this year. Love all the young musicians onstage too. Great energy."

Following 16-year-old Sanchez's (pictured above) performance on last night's episode of American Idol, Lambert added "Sanchez!!! Holy f**k daaaaaaaym" and then tweeted a public message to her that simply read, "werk!".

Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, Jessie J explained that constant praise and adoration starts to get to her after a while and so it's important to remain grounded:

"You live in a bubble when you are travelling, touring and in the studio or on stage. You wake up and don't know what country you are in and you have people around you saying: 'You are amazing' and 'let me do this or that' and you completely lose yourself."

"It is going to affect you, even if you don't want it to. You have to be careful that you don't surround yourself with yes men. I need people who say 'You are being an idiot today, shut up'."

The hitmaker is currently working as a vocal coach on The Voice and is set to return to the studio to begin recording her sophomore album.

Tom Fletcher said: "We've been wanting to do that for years and years and years and years. But we've just never had the opportunity, or something else has come up.

 "We have some fans in America that have been fans for like eight or nine years -- right from the beginning -- so much so that they fly over to see us in the U.K. It's amazing that they are so dedicated. So I think we owe it to them to come over."

McFly have only released one album Stateside, 'Just My Luck' which tied in with the film of the same name starring Lindsay Lohan in which the band played a cameo part.

The plan is to pop over to America after the current tour is finished, and after the band have recorded some tracks for their sixth studio album this June.

Watch McFly perform new song 'Red' in Portsmouth last month (March 2012) below:

The likes of Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith achieved the feat after their cover version of Gotye’s current chart-topper, ‘Somebody That I Used To Know,’ and their mash-up of Duran Duran’s 'Hungry Like The Wolf' and 'Rio' entered at No.26 and No.98 respectively in this week’s official chart.

The cast have reached the milestone in less than three years, having first appeared on the Hot 100 with their rendition of Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ (No.4) in June 2009, and are expected to add to their tally with the songs from last night’s disco-themed episode, next week’s Whitney Houston tribute and the upcoming graduation finale.   

Their impressive record far surpasses the number of hit singles clocked up by their nearest competitors, Elvis Presley (108), Lil Wayne (101) and James Brown (91), although only 33 of their tracks have spent more than a week on the chart, whilst only a handful have been original compositions. 

The 42-year-old, who has been largely absent from the pop scene since giving birth to twins Moroccan and Monroe in April last year, told Shape magazine that she can’t wait to get started on the follow-up to 2009’s 'Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel':

"I've started writing songs for a new album, which I hope will come out in 2012. Getting back in the studio and making music again — which I truly love doing — is the best way to end this crazy year."

The ‘We Belong Together’ singer, who was last seen lending her vocals to Christmas singles with Justin Bieber and John Legend, also revealed that husband Nick Cannon is on the mend following his recent stints in hospital.

Discussing his battles with kidney failure and lupus nephritus, Carey said: "It was really frightening, but he's feeling much stronger and is definitely on the right track. He's taking better care of himself, eating a diet low in sodium and sugar, and getting more sleep."

Jackie Jackson, who along with siblings Jermaine, Tito and Marlon, recently announced their first full-scale tour in over 20 years, told E! News that the band are open to using the same technology that brought Tupac back to life during Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s Sunday evening set at Coachella.

Commenting on a bigger tour planned for next year, he said: "It could have Michael—absolutely. Wouldn't that be wonderful? As a matter of fact, we had that idea two years ago for Michael's Cirque du Soleil show."

The 60-year-old went onto admit that the group are struggling to narrow down the setlist for their Unity tour which kicks off in Louisville, KY on June 18, but that they will definitely be paying tribute to their late brother:

"There are so many songs. That's the hardest part because we want to include all the favorites and not leave anything out. We're going to sing some of Michael's stuff, too. We're going to honor him on the stage. He'd want us to do our thing to the best of our ability."

The 35-year-old, who has previously written songs for the likes of Kylie Minogue and Gwen Stefani, told MTV News that the decision to go back-to-basics for their first full-length album in four years has paid off:

“The emotional directness and passionate heart of this record is something that I think is a bit different from Perfect Symmetry and Night Train - probably closer to Hopes and Fears in that respect.

“It's also more hopeful and philosophical than Under The Iron Sea I think, although the sonic landscape is quite similar to that album in that it's quite ethereal and 3D.

“This is the first time I felt we've made a really great album…and that's as much as you can do really!”

The multi-instrumentalist also hinted that more material from the album’s sessions could be on its way when asked about the tracks that were left off the record:

“I think there's enough 'good' stuff for a 'good' album, but it's a question of whether an album's worth of really great stuff would come together quickly.

“Maybe we'll do another EP - that's a nice way to put out a few songs that's a little less intense. We still feel an album is a major journey in its own right, and I think we feel better about taking our time with that and trying our best to make something that's the best possible thing we could do at any given moment. I've got a feeling it might take us a while..!”
