Bella Thorne
The next generation of Disney queen is on the rise, as Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato inch towards 20. It's 14-year-old redhead Bella Thorne who is their heiress apparent, and she's about to nudge Willow outta da way with a full body check, courtesy of her sassy, hand-on-her-hip, don't play me like that anthem 'Bubblegum Boy.'
Lady Gaga, ‘Stuck on F—in’ You’ – Song Review
Happy holidays little monsters. Lady Gaga didn't wait for Santa to deliver a brand new, previously unheard song. She did it herself via a tweet issued at midnight. She posted: "Merry X-mas Little Monsters! Listen Here to my UNRELEASED SONG "Stuck On F---in' You": bit.ly/t2MVBl." And yes, this is the real thing, not a leak of an old song.

‘Glee’ Cast, ‘Moves Like Jagger / Jumpin’ Jack Flash’ – Song Review
'Glee' will really lay things down when the show returns in January following the holidays. In addition to a Rihanna cover, New Directions are lined up for one heck of a mash-up, blending the Maroon 5/Xtina smash 'Moves Like Jagger' with Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones' own 'Jumpin' Jack Flash.'
Nicki Minaj, ‘Stupid Hoe’ – Song Review
Nicki Minaj is back as her evil male alter ego Roman Zolanski in this antagonistic song called 'Stupid Hoe.' Rumor has it that this is the first single from her Valentines Day-released LP 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded' although we doubt that. We can't imagine radio embracing this harsh track but, hey, anything can happen.
