Demi Lovato Gushes Over MTV's Best Fans Of The Year 'I love you so much, and you truly are not just fans, you're my friends, you're my family. I love you,' Lovato told MTV News about her Lovatics.

Even though Demi Lovato was the only mentor during last night's "X Factor" finale without an act in the competition, that didn't mean she walked away empty-handed. On the red carpet, after Tate Stevens was announced the winner of a $5 million recording contract, MTV News presented the "Skyscraper" singer with the award for having the Best Fans of the Year.
"My Lovatics, thank you so much, I'm so honored. You guys are such an incredible force and an amazing army," she said holding her trophy. "I love you so much and you truly are not just fans, you're my friends, you're my family. I love you."

From winning her first VMA — "So amazing," Lovato told MTV News when asked her top moments from 2012 — to topping the pop charts — "I was very, very thrilled, and it was there for two weeks, which was crazy," she said about "Give Your Heart a Break" landing at #1 on the Billboard charts — there's no question the last 12 months have been tremendous for Lovato. And none of it would have been possible without her trusty Lovatics by her side. "I'm so blessed," she said smiling. "So thanks!"
The award was announced during "The Big & Best of 2012: A Year End Celebration Presented by T-Mobile" during the "Last Fans Standing" competition. The challenge began with 16 different fan armies and then the field was narrowed to the top seven groups (BeyHive, Selenators, Directioners, Beliebers, Little Monsters, Team Britney and Lovatics), five social-media-fueled challenges via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Get Glue were administered over the eight-hour livestream.

Justin Timberlake: Singers are like athletes

Justin Timberlake says touring is like being a professional athlete ' without the private plane.

The star has enjoyed success in both the music and movie industries. Although Justin loves performing live to fans all over the world, the schedule can be gruelling.

'Being on the road, the hours aren't as crazy; but it is a seven-day-a-week job. I compare being on tour for music to being a pro athlete,' he told UK magazine GQ. 'You show up, and for two hours you're exerting yourself, then you go straight to the next place. Or like being a pro footballer. But they probably travel a lot more nicely than I do ' I get on a bus, they probably get on a private plane.'

Justin also revealed that although he spends hours on movie sets shooting scenes, he has more free time than when he is on a music tour. This helps him stay in shape.

'Acting is a different process, in a way; you work 12-hour days at least, but you get two days off,' he explained. 'Then when filming starts you do things that aren't as vigorous because you're working so much, but you can get in short work-outs.'

Axl Rose bans Slash t-shirts at O2

The feud between Axl Rose and the rest of the classic Guns N' Roses lineup has gone to absurd lengths over the years, but the singer's latest stunt may have set a new bar.

During the British Guns N' Roses tour, the group's management has been instructing all security guards to make anyone wearing a t-shirt that includes Slash to remove the shirt or not be allowed in the venue. A source for NME told of a concert goer who was bare-chested under his jacket. When asked why, he said he was told to ditch the Slash t-shirt if he wanted to see the show.

A security guard than confirmed the policy to the source, saying "We were told by the management not to allow anyone into the O2 Arena who is wearing a Slash T-shirt and we are asking anyone who is to remove it and if they refuse they will be turned away."

Of course, that wasn't the only problem for the concert goers. The band went on over an hour late and many fans had to leave after just a few songs to catch the last trains of the night.

Music-News.com was sitting next to the teenager and can confirm all.

Justin Bieber lucky in love

Justin Bieber has never experienced heartbreak.

The 18-year-old singer is happily dating Selena Gomez and has never had a romance which has gone sour. This means that he disagrees with Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am, who says all singers need to have been through hard relationships to sing about love.

'I haven't gone through it, so I don't really know what it's about. I don't think anyone wants to have heartbreak. I haven't been in that deep a place yet, but I'm still looking. I'm still learning every day,' he told Seventeen magazine.

Justin enjoys his job but it has impacted some areas of his life. He finds it hard to trust people, so he hasn't made many new friends since hitting the big time.

'I don't let anybody close to me. I just rock with my old friends, Ryan and Chaz. I'm happy with the friends I have,' he has explained.

Usher: My album is a diary

Usher's new album is an "art-in-motion diary" which reflects on some of the "heavy transitions" in his life.
The singer has had a tumultuous few years. He got divorced from Tameka Foster in 2009, and is still embroiled in custody issues over their two sons, Usher and Naviyd.
Usher says his upcoming record Looking 4 Myself is about his personal life.
"There's an emotional side to it. Over the last three years of my life, it's no secret I went through some heavy transitions and in that I really came out new. I came out feeling a sense of entitlement and a sense of ownership of all of that I went through to become better and in being able to survive it. So I was looking for something in the music," he told MTV News during MTV First.
"I was looking for something in life. I was looking for something in it has always been right here. It has always been there. So I kind of used the music as a diary in a way, but a creative, artistic, art-in-motion diary."
Usher has explained the concept behind the lead single from the album, Climax.
The promo sees him as a jilted lover who is contemplating shooting his girlfriend's other interest. Usher insists the song isn't about sex.
"Climax was an interpretation to really give people a better understanding 'cause I felt like people really looked at the record for what you heard first, which was Climax. So, people thought sex. It's not about sex. Well, climax is about sex, but not the song. Just so we're clear," he smiled.
"The song is really about kind of the crescendo of a relationship, where you've reached a place where you're gonna dive in or let it go. And the Climax is what it is."

Kelly Clarkson: I'm a crier

Kelly Clarkson admits she''s a "crier" when asked about her talent show judging qualities.
The singer is a mentor on upcoming US reality TV show Duets and says she can't help but get emotional over the contestants' performances and back stories.
Kelly is judging alongside Sugarland star Jennifer Nettles, soul sensation John Legend and singer Robin Thicke and added that she is too passionate about her role to keep her feelings under control.
'There's two criers ' that would be me and Jennifer,' she told Access Hollywood. 'That's OK ' we're in it together. I just can't help it! I get so passionate about it [and] it's so touching, the stories.'
Kelly also admitted that her experience on American Idol hasn't helped her as much as she thought it would.
The 30-year-old won the talent show in 2002 and has enjoyed a high-flying career since.
'I will admit it's been hard, the first three episodes. But yesterday we shot the fourth episode and it's getting way easier,' she said. 'I think that I came in thinking I was from '[American] Idol' and I had all this like, expertise on it and [thought] 'Oh, this is going to be easy'. No- it's a lot of work!'

Slash: I prefer to noodle in private

Slash has joked he''s a "very private noodler" when it comes to experimenting with his guitar.
The former lead guitarist of Guns N'' Roses is famed for his impressive instrumental abilities. However, Slash isn''t satisfied with his skills and regularly uses his down time to improve.
"Playing guitar is what I do and it''s what''s been driving me through hell and high water for the best part of 30 years. I don''t know how to put it without sounding pathetic but I''m still madly in love with trying to get better at the guitar and making things happen with it," he told Kerrang! magazine.
"I sit and noodle on the guitar pretty much all the time but I don''t drive people to distraction because I''m a very private noodler.
"I''ll noodle on the bus or in the dressing room or in a hotel room but I''ll do it quietly because I don''t necessarily like people hearing me practicing or working new stuff out. I don''t noodle obnoxiously!"
Slash''s other passion is horror movies.
The star has his own film production company called Slasher Films, and hopes to put the "tension" element back into new releases.
"The movies coming out in the ''60s, ''70s and early ''80s had a psychological edge that would really grab you by the short and curlies," he explained. "The gore factor can sometimes be used to cover up the fact that there''s really nothing else there. Even though it''s called Slasher Films, it''s the antithesis of the slasher gore ethos. It''s more about the tension and the drama of what makes things scary than it is about splatter and dismemberment."

P. Diddy takes entourage 50 to Cannes

P. Diddy has arranged for 50 of his friends to fly to the Cannes Film Festival.

The glitzy annual movie event kicked off last night, with the premiere of Wes Anderson's movie Moonrise Kingdom.

Hip-hop star Diddy has moved into film recently and enjoys attending the prestigious occasion. He's known for bringing along an entourage, although it's never been quite as big as this year's.

'Diddy has been a regular at Cannes over the years and is always welcome,' a source told British newspaper The Sun.

'However, this year he's arrived with more people than normal, which has proved a bit of a headache to the people in charge of the guest lists.'

Diddy is well known for splashing the cash when he is at the event.

That is said to be part of the reason why festival bosses are determined to get the group into all the major parties.

'Diddy is good value, though, and his bar bill always makes an interesting read,' the insider added.

Many of Hollywood's elite are in the South of France for the 65th annual festival, among them Robert Pattinson and his girlfriend Kristen Stewart.

They are understood to have forgone an upmarket hotel in favour of renting a villa away from the hustle and bustle of the event.

Among the stars to attend the Moonrise Kingdom premiere yesterday were Eva Longoria and Diane Kruger, who both wowed with their lavish dresses.

Eva's gown was pale pink and covered in crystals and beading. The huge tail was made of feathers, with Diane's mint green ensemble also boasting a long train.

Also on the red carpet were Freida Pinto, Tilda Swinton, Jessica Chastain, Eva Herzigova and Alec Baldwin and his fiancée Hilaria Thomas ' who Alec carried up stairs to ensure she didn't slip.

Jason Mraz interview

Jason Mraz Interview

The American singer-songwriter, born June 23, 1977 in Mechanicsville, Virginia, (that name always makes me chuckle) has slowly but surely won over the world with his particular melange of acoustic reggae, pop, rock, folk, jazz, and hip hop.

Mraz released his debut album, Waiting for My Rocket to Come, which contained the hit single "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)", in 2002, but it wasn't until the release of his second album, Mr. A-Z, in 2005, that Mraz achieved major commercial success.

The album peaked at number five on the Billboard 200 and sold over 100,000 copies in the US.

In 2008, Mraz released his third studio album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.

The album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and was a commercial success worldwide, peaking in the top ten of many international charts.

His fourth studio album, Love Is a Four Letter Word, was released in April and sees the singer continuing to ride the crest of this musical wave.

Music-News.com met up with the man himself in the comfortable surroundings of his Atalantic record label to find out why he doesn’t like selling CDs, sunshine is a state of mind, and his personal top three Mraz tracks.

You can next see Jason Mraz in the UK headlining the 20,000 seater O2 Arena on December 1st.

Will Smith: My dreams are a reality

Will Smith's dream of 'building a family' around his acting career has come true.
His aspirations have been realised since he became the father of three children. Will has son Willard from a previous marriage and son Jaden and daughter Willow with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. His kids and wife are his first priority.
"The joy [of life now] is watching an idea that I had at seven. coming into fruition,' he told Parade.
'I am actually building the family that I''ve always dreamed about... Building a family around the entertainment business. I love watching my kids and my family blossom from something that was a seed from a seven-year-old''s mind."
Will has tried to keep his children grounded as they have grown up in the spotlight. His youngest kids Willow and Jaden are following in their parents' footsteps by showing interests in acting and music.
"The most difficult part of the whole thing is emotional management,' he said of teaching the youngsters about handling fame.
'To have them connect to the artistry of what they create rather than connecting to the success or the adoration. Jada and I have been talking a lot about pulling back during teenage years because they are very formative.'
Willow, 11, joined Justin Bieber for the European leg of his My World tour last year. She thoroughly enjoyed performing on stage, although Will has laughed he is unsure whether she realised how big the commitment was.
'In the middle of the Justin Bieber tour she saw a Russian ballerina or something and she was riveted,' Will said.
'She wanted to go home and take ballet and it was like, ''No, honey, you have seven more tour dates.'' [laughs] But now she is way gone on ballet. So it''s the difficulty of letting the business go and let them develop in the way that is more natural for them."
Jaden, 13, has risen to fame as an actor after starring alongside his dad in The Pursuit of Happyness and then in The Karate Kid. He is now engaged in some friendly competition with his father.
"Jaden has a little bit of a predatory look in his eye. He is so coming for me,' Will said.
'I tell him all the time, ''Son, I am going to teach you everything that I know and if you work hard, you can be the second biggest movie star in the world.''"

Lady Gaga: Love is terrifying

Lady Gaga admits that her 'career became more important than anything' as she matured. The Poker Face singer had been dating Shameless star Taylor Kinney for about ten months but it has been claimed they have now broken up. Gaga has been focused on her professional and charitable pursuits for years and romance was hard to squeeze into her schedule. 'I dated a couple of older men. Then, as I got older and more mature, my career became more important to me than anything,' she told British newspaper The Sun. 'Anyone that got in the way or was being destructive in my life, I just cut them off and concentrated on my music. Love is still the most terrifying thing in life for me.' Although Gaga hasn't found the perfect mate for her yet, the star won't allow her romantic mistakes to make her bitter. 'I'm still working on finding love,' she shared. 'I know that feeling - that feeling of the impossible. But the only thing I don't have that feeling about is my work. It's not dependent on someone else. At the same time, it is an amazing feeling that you can love somebody and that you can share your life.'

Michael Jackson 'romanced Whitney'

Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston had an 'ultra-secret affair', it has been claimed.
The King of Pop died in 2009 from acute Propofol intoxication, while Whitney passed away earlier this year. She accidentally drowned in the bath of her hotel room and it was ruled that sustained cocaine use also played a part in her death.
According to Michael's former bodyguard Matt Fiddes, the pair enjoyed a passionate romance before she married Bobby Brown in 1992. They kept their relationship secret but Matt insists Michael never came to terms with it ending.
'One of the many stories that has never been told about Michael is that he had an ultra-secret affair with Whitney Houston that he never got over,' Matt told British newspaper The Sun.
'They met because they were two of the biggest recording artists on the planet and mixing in the same circles. They instantly connected as kindred spirits because they understood each other's massive fame.
'Whitney practically moved in to Michael's ranch and they had a fling like any other young couple. But Michael said later he had always hoped the relationship had gone further, and I know he dreamed of marrying her.'
Despite the depth of Michael's feelings for Whitney, the pair were only an item for two weeks.
Once they split up they didn't see each other for many years. Eventually they met in 2001, when concerts were being staged at New York's Madison Square Garden in honour of Michael's 30th anniversary in music.
'They shared what would be their final hugs and Michael begged Whitney to get off the drugs that were destroying her life,' Matt claims.
'The two of them whispered that they loved each other as they hugged. The emotion was written all over their faces.'
Matt met Michael via psychic Uri Geller and was in touch with the superstar right up until his death.
The singer was renowned for his unconventional personal life. He once had a pet monkey and his children would always wear masks to cover their faces when he took them out.
According to Matt, many of the rumours about the star were actually generated by Michael.
'The story about him sleeping in an oxygen tank to maintain his youth was a stunt, he had the pictures sent out himself,' Matt told the publication
'He thought it was great press though everyone warned it was making him look strange. adding to the 'Wacko Jacko' nickname he despised.
'He would also strive to create an air of mystery around himself.'

Spice Girls hit back at feud rumours

Mel C and Mel B have slammed claims they have been arguing about the upcoming Spice Girls musical.

The theatre show was reportedly facing delays because the former bandmates could not agree on anything.

However the singers have taken to their Twitter accounts to deny the accusations.

'Starting to get very irritated with reports that myself and @OfficialMelB are 'bickering' over the Spice Girls musical (sic),' Mel C said.

Mel B chimed in, '@MelanieCmusic tell me about it! Why do the press keep saying this BS,we all get along fine!! (sic)'

The Spice Girls have long had to fend off claims they don't get along. Their feuding was reportedly to blame for the demise of the group in 2000. They got back together in 2007 for a reunion tour.

The musical, Viva Forever, is being penned by Jennifer Saunders and will include the girl group's biggest hits including Wannabe and Who Do You Think You Are.

Former Spice Girl members Mel C, Mel B, Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton will not appear in the project but are all giving ideas to Jennifer.

Mel C added, "The Spice girls musical is coming along beautifully and all of us girls, [Jennifer Saunders] and Judy Craymer are very happy!!! (sic )."

The musical was scheduled to begin this year in London's West End but has been postponed.

Katy Perry 'shows off cat pictures'

Katy Perry continually shows people pictures of her cat on her phone.

The American singer has been romantically linked to model Baptiste Giabiconi recently, although it's thought she has now ended the romance. Before the split, Baptiste discussed how down to earth Katy is.

'Katy's not this big, out-of-touch star, she's someone who you immediately feel as if you are friends with and have known for years. But what I love about her is that one minute she's discussing the Autumn/Winter Chanel collection and the next she's showing your pictures on her phone of the pet cat her brother looks after for her at home,' he laughed to Look magazine.

Baptiste has previously said he finds Katy attractive and enjoyed getting to know her better. He knows how hard she finds it to confide in people.

'Katy is so much fun to be around. Whether she's sitting at a fashion show or in a café, she's always laughing. She's a lovely girl,' he explained.

'She says she finds it very hard to trust new people and so I feel touched she's let me in and we're so close after such a short time.'

Rihanna: Tattoos are scary

Rihanna says it took her a year to 'grow the balls' to get a tattoo.

The Barbados-born singer is renowned for her love of body art. She has 16 inkings at the moment, among them two guns near her armpits and stars down her back.

She loves the feeling of having artwork committed to her body.

'I have an addictive personality and I love tattoos. When I was 16, I was curious about them and started hanging out in tattoo shops in downtown New York, watching people get tatted and pierced,' she explained. 'I finally grew the balls to get one when I was 17, then started getting more. I still want another now!'

Although her style is rocky, Rihanna has a sentimental side. She cites her favourite belonging as something her grandmother gave her. It's so important to her the singer is never without the item.

'My grandma and I have exchanged infinity rings and mine is always on me, so I guess that's the most valuable thing in my wardrobe,' she told Company magazine.

Kurt Cobain demoed solo album

Kurt Cobain was working on a solo album at the time of his death, it has been revealed.

Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson tells Fuse.TV that the Cobain record would have been Kurt's 'White Album' (a reference to the creative Beatles double album).

In the interview to promote his new book 'Letters To Kurt', Erlandson said, ''[Kurt] was headed in a direction that was really cool. It would have been his White Album.'

Cobain also covered a well-know song for the project but Erlandson would not say which one.

'That's really what he was going towards, a solo album but working with different people. I was really excited about some of the stuff he was working on. I got to see him play it in front of me. That's why I was really sad [when he died]. I was like, 'Oh man, not only are you cutting off a life, but a message to the world, a musical path is just left with . Bush and all this other stuff [laughs]. He was cut short. Who knows where the music would have gone,' he continued.

There are currently no plans for the release of the Cobain demos.

Britney Spears' fiancé to become conservator

Britney Spears' fiancé Jason Trawick is reportedly set to become the singer's legal conservator.

The 30-year-old pop star has been under the conservatorship of her father Jamie Spears for four years following her very public mental breakdown.

TMZ reports that Britney's conservators will file a legal petition Friday asking the court to list Jason as co-conservator.

Sources inform the website that Britney's father is 'thrilled' about the move, but it's rumoured that Britney desires an end to the conservatorship altogether.

'Britney has said that she feels she is ready to resume control of her life,' an insider told Radar Online in recent weeks.

It is unlikely that Britney's conservatorship will be completely lifted for a long period of time.

'It looks like it won't be ending anytime soon, but Britney feels that she is powerless to fight it,' the source explained. 'She has been on two wildly successful worldwide concert tours, has gotten engaged, and is now in talks to join a major television show, what more does she have to do to prove to people that she is ready to resume control of her life? Britney has been told Jamie's lawyers could petition the judge for the conservatorship to end later this year, and not anytime sooner."
