Thu Feb 9 2012 by Becky Bain
We've shared our 2012 Grammy picks for Best New Artist, Song Of The Year and who we think will take all the Pop and Dance categories — now let's take a look at who's up for Record Of The Year. The nominees in this category are basically a mirror image of Song Of The Year, with Kanye West's "All Of The Lights" swapped with Katy Perry's mega-hit "Firework." Can Perry make the Recording Academy go ahh-ahh-ahh and triumph, or is the unstoppable force of Adele too big to beat? Head below for our predictions.

Katy Perry’s ‘Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection’ Details Announced
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Robbie Daw
A special candy-coated edition of Katy Perry's 2010 album Teenage Dream will be released on March 27. Called Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, the expanded set is loaded with all sorts of goodies for Katy fans. But can it earn the Grammy nominee her much-sought-after sixth #1 single from Teenage Dream on the Hot 100? And if it does, come on — will it really count, since this is technically a re-tooled version of the album?

Katy Perry’s Glamorous Grammy Style (PHOTOS)
Wed Feb 8 2012 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Katy Perry is all about the latex dresses, whipped cream-blasting brassieres and confection-themed costumes for the stage and screen, but when it comes to the Grammy Awards, the Teenage Dream is all glitz and glamor. Year after year, the pop star has stepped onto the Grammy red carpet in dazzling gowns and a glowing face. But in light of the pre-Super Bowl party performer’s new blue ‘do — and the absence of Russell Brand on her arm — what can we expect from the chart-topper this Sunday? (A mermaid outfit, perhaps?) Check out Katy Perry’s Grammy fashions from yesteryear and let us know below, or on Facebook and Twitter, which ensemble is your all-time fave. More »

Catch Katy Perry’s Pre-Super Bowl Party Performance
Sun Feb 5 2012 by Idolator Staff
Everyone may be most enthused about Madonna's halftime performance, but to hold us over until that show-stopper, Katy Perry performed a slightly-smaller scale show at the DirecTV's Pre-Super Bowl party last night in Indianapolis. The newly blue (and newly single) songbird appeared in a sporty outfit with similarly-athletic backup dancers to perform "Teenage Dream," "Hot N Cold," "E.T.," and "Peacock." (Has she finally decided to let "The One That Got Away" be the one that got away?) Let the mer-girl get you ready for some football below.

Katy Perry Poses As A Mermaid For David LaChapelle
Fri Feb 3 2012 by Becky Bain
Back when Katy Perry posted a photo of herself in mermaid garb planking as a mermaid, we had no idea what was going on. Was the pop star following in Lady Gaga's flippers and jumping on the mer-person trend for a new video? Turns out the planking pic was taken on set of a David LaChapelle photo shoot for ghd's Air hairdryer — because a mermaid, whose hair is constantly wet, is in most need of a blow-dry, right? "It's as if Lisa Frank had done The Little Mermaid," described Katy. So, are you digging her pink locks, or are you feeling blue?
Katy Perry And Coldplay To Perform At Paul McCartney’s MusiCares Benefit
Thu Feb 2 2012 by Becky Bain
Before she makes her highly anticipated appearance at The Grammys, Katy Perry will sing at Paul McCartney's MusiCares "Person Of The Year" ceremony in Los Angeles on February 10. In addition to Perry, the benefit will boast performances from Coldplay, Alicia Keys, Norah Jones, Foo Fighters and Tony Bennett — as well as McCartney, who will promote his new album Kisses On The Bottom. Tickets for the event range from $1,500 to $100,000, with proceeds donated to MusiCares, an organization that provides assistance to musicians in financial or personal crisis.
Katy Perry To Perform At The Grammys
Wed Feb 1 2012 by Becky Bain
After bailing on the People's Choice Awards, Katy Perry will finally make her first TV appearance since announcing her split with Russell Brand when she performs at The 2012 Grammys. The record-breaking pop star is up for Best Record and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Firework", the single she'll most likely sing on the show — though we have a feeling she'll also bust out "The One That Got Away" to help give it a boost up the Hot 100.

Katy Perry Lands Sixth #1 Hit… On The Pop Songs Chart
Tue Jan 31 2012 by Becky Bain
With the release of a sixth single, a remix and an acoustic version of "The One That Got Away", Katy Perry and Capitol are desperately trying to get the pop star to hold the record for the most #1 singles from the same album on the Hot 100 (an honor she currently shares with Michael Jackson). That seems less and less likely of happening — the song peaked at #3 and is currently at #5 — but at least Katy can claim the record for having six singles off Teenage Dream hit #1 on the Pop Songs chart.

Mon Jan 30 2012 by Nicole Sia
For better or for worse, UK-based music magazine NME has rolled out its shortlist of nominees for its 2012 NME Awards. Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and Adele each earned noms across the various irreverent categories — some more forgiving than others.
