Nelly Furtado

It's either a not-so-good sign or a necessary evil, but Nelly Furtado's forthcoming album 'The Spirit Indestructible' has been bumped to a Sept. 18 release date. The Canadian songbird's fifth album was initially due out on June 19, where it would have been competing with Justin Bieber's 'Believe.' So why the bump?

Nelly Furtado has generously shared both the standard and deluxe edition covers for her forthcoming album 'The Spirit Indestructible,' featuring her new single 'Big Hoops (Bigger the Better.)'

Chart-topping artists Kelly Clarkson, Usher and Nelly Furtado have been added to the star-studded list of performers for the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. ABC will air the event live from Las Vegas at 8PM ET on May 20.

Nelly Furtado released 'Big Hoops,' off her upcoming album, 'The Spirit Indestructible.' It's an ode to earrings and getting dolled up to go out, in which she sings, "I bet you never heard something like that." In this case, we wish we still hadn't.

Nelly Furtado hasn't dropped an album since her 2009 Spanish effort 'Mi Plan' (and before that, the Timbaland-produced 'Loose' in 2006). While she continues work on the follow-up, the Grammy-winning vocalist has lent her voice to 'Is There Anybody Out There,' an infectious new track by Somali-born rapper K'naan.

Nelly Furtado is prepping for a major comeback in 2012, teaming up with songwriter Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins on her forthcoming album.

Hot on the heels of Lady Gaga's Twitter account being hacked, singer Nelly Furtado has also fallen victim to hacking. Where as Gaga was "offering" an iPad2 to all of her followers in the spirit of the season, Furtado's fake tweet, which has since been removed from her feed, offered Mac Book laptops. You know what they say: If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Get ready to cut some rug this summer because Nelly Furtado is coming out with a new album! She'll also be touring in addition to her new LP. We know if Timbaland had anything to do with this album like her 2006 release, it's going to be a smash! Elsewhere, Matt Nathanson was confused by this year's inductee's the the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Guess he's not a fan of the Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers or Guns N' Roses! Game got busy at a Louis Vuitton in Italy dropping almost $24,000 on items at the upscale designer. Ballin'! Sara Bareilles was thanking fans for birthday wishes in a very unusual way and Adele and her BFF got themselves a couple new hats. Josh Groban was co-hosting 'Live With Kelly,' and Drake was joining his YMCMB counterpart, Lil Wayne, in Africa. Read what your favorite stars were chirping about today!

Where is Nelly Furtado? It's been a long time since we've heard any new material from the Canadian songbird, but it looks as if she's been busy crafting new tunes.

Nelly Furtado is taking to her Twitter page to launch a new campaign that encourages young adults to make a difference and vote in the upcoming federal election, taking place on May 2.
