Did You Hear?
:: Radio stations in Malaysia are censoring the pro-gay lyrics in Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" (particularly the lyric "No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life") to avoid being fined by the Malaysian government. Why play the song at all if you don't like it's message? [

:: Joe Jonas is single again after splitting with
Twilight actress Ashley Greene. Are there any starlets left in Hollywood for him to date that haven't already dated his brothers? [
Pink Is The New Blog]
:: The Warblers on
Glee don't have the market cornered on a capella Katy Perry covers, apparently - listen to one guy's instrument-less take on "Firework". [

Biophilia. [

:: Casey Abrams might be our favorite
Idol contestant, even though he tore apart our eardrums while
singing Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and traumatizing us with his devil faces. [

Disney singer/actress Demi Lovato cut her world tour with the Jonas Brothers short last fall when she
entered a facility to “seek medical treatment for emotional and physical issues she has dealt with for some time.” The 18-year-old posted a short video today, where she touched on the "difficult" journey that she's been on over the past few months. Watch below.

Joe Jonas is still working hard on that
solo album, and popping up in a Funny Or Die sketch without his brothers is the first step in promoting himself as a single entity. In the sketch, the middle Jonas sings "You Are So Beautiful" to a young man's girlfriend as part of her Valentine's Day surprise. But when the guy pops the question and she says no, well, things get about as awkward as Joe's
lovey-dovey photo shoot with his ex girlfriend, Demi Lovato. Watch Joe get blamed for the couple's break-up below.

Yesterday
we picked all the pop acts sure to pick up trophies during Sunday's
Grammy Awards, and today we're tackling Best New Artist. Winning the Grammy for this coveted category is a major step in one's blossoming career, fore sure, but it doesn't necessarily mean you're destined to succeed over the other nominees forevermore — is Hootie and the Blowfish still considered "better" than Alanis Morissette because they won Best New Artist in 1996? Right. So, although we may consider Esperanza Spalding to be the major dark horse of this category, hey, who knows — she could go on to become the Lady Gaga of jazz fusion by this time next year. (We're not going to bet on that, though.)
Jump below to wade through the eclectic mix of nominees and give your vote on which act you think will be thanking God, their mom, and their fans from the stage at Staples Center.

You didn't think a little inconvenience like
death would prevent Michael Jackson's brothers from realizing their longtime dream of reuniting the old family band for a couple of live performances, did you? (And why should
Glee earn all the cash?) Jackson's brothers have tapped Japanese-American pop/R&B star AI to stand in for Michael at a pair of "tribute" performances in Tokyo next year — and, perhaps, to record new music with the Jackson brothers as well. Just so long as they don't do anything
"disrespectful", right? Details below.

The Beatles and iTunes have
come together. Apple founder Steve Jobs commented, "It has been a long and winding road to get here...we are now realizing a dream we've had since we launched iTunes ten years ago." We weren't content to celebrate with elaborate puns (sadly, Lucy In the Sky With iTunes just didn't work), so we're honoring the ability to download the legendary Liverpool foursome (legally) by showcasing some of the most recent pop star covers. Jump below to hear everyone from Sara Bareilles to the Jonas Brothers taking a crack at the Fab Four's hits.

Even when John Mayer is trying to be serious — which, let's be honest, is a rare occurrence — he still can't stop joking around. The
skateboarding singer filmed a PSA for the Malaria No More campaign, and he spread the word about the millions of deaths caused by malaria in Africa by sending up his celebrity status, dropping F-bombs and namedropping the likes of Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers. (At least he had the good sense to zip his lip about Taylor Swift, unless, of course, he'd like another song
not-so-subtly written about his womanizing ways). Watch both of John's inappropriately humorous PSAs below.

Teen brother trio (
this concept sounds
familiar) Burnham have been traveling around as the opening act for Justin Bieber, and found time yesterday to swing by the
On-Air With Ryan Seacrest studio for a chat. The guys—Forrest, Andre and Alex—bumped into Bruno Mars, then sat the
current chart-topping crooner down so they could impress him with an impromptu rendition of his hit
"Just The Way You Are." So did Burnham do Bruno justice? Head below to see.
