Madonna will perform at the Grammy Awards.

The "Material Girl" singer had kept her inclusion on the star-studded bill for the huge music event on Sunday a secret until this morning.

She accompanied the announcement with a picture on Instagram of her dressed all in black - including leather gloves - and strumming a black guitar. "It's official. I'm off my crutches and looking for the perfect pair of heels to wear to the Grammys," she wrote underneath.

The singer had to be assisted with walking when she bruised a bone in her foot, which she claimed was "from dancing in high heels."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Upcoming Releases, Pop, Rock,

Lindsay Lohan is making music with Kate Moss' husband.

The troubled actress is determined to get her life back on track following her stint in rehab in the summer, and has teamed up with Jamie Hince to work on a mystery project. The 27-year-old star posted a number of teasing photographs on her Instagram account, which saw her sitting at a mixing desk in a New York studio, as well as a signed copy of The Kills record, along with the hash tags "Jamie Hince" and "Studio time."

The blonde beauty, who released two albums when she was a Disney star, is keen to revive her music career and has been seeking advice from Jamie and Lily Allen's ex-boyfriend Robertson Furze in a bid to turn into a "rock chick." "Lindsay's really embarrassed by [her previous] music, it was really poppy and cheesy. She sees herself as far more credible now. Jamie is one of her idols - she loves The Kills and sees herself as a bit of a rock chick," a source said.

The "Little Things" hitmakers have revealed the name of their new record - the follow-up to last year's Take Me Home - in a video posted on their Instagram account today. The clip showed Harry Styles rearranging pieces of paper - each with a letter on - to spell out the album's title. The caption for the video said, "So did you get it...? 1DHQ x #1DAlbumTitle. (sic)"

The band confirmed the name and release date for their third studio album, and added fans can pre-order it from Monday 9. "YES - 1D's 3rd album is MIDNIGHT MEMORIES & is out Nov 25th! AND you can pre-order Mon! 1DHQ x #RememberRememberThe25thNovember. (sic)" they wrote on Twitter.

The record will feature their hit single "Best Song Ever," which recently won the "Song of the Summer" prize at the MTV Video Music Awards. Zayn Malik teased fans earlier in the day when he posted a cryptic video which featured the first few seconds of the final clip, showing his band mate starting to move the pieces of paper into place. Along with the clip, he wrote, "What is @harry_styles up to? (sic)"

Rihanna Hits Out at Ciara

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Rumors, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop,

Rihanna slammed long-term rival Ciara for allowing the media to "play her."

The 25-year-old pop star hasn't always seen eye-to-eye with the "Body Party" singer and has taken a swipe at her for always mentioning her in interviews. "Why am I still the main topic of her interviews!! She don't be shame tho? How she let em [the press] play her like that everytime?? It's like, 'yea I know you're here to talk about (insert album title) but we wanna talk about a more relevant topic...Rihanna!!! Like she sits there and falls for it everytime!!!! #whurrisyopublicist (sic)" Rihanna posted on Instagram.

The bitter row between the singers initially began two years ago when Ciara accused the Barbadian babe of not being "the nicest" when they met at a party. Rihanna sarcastically replied," My bad ci, did I 4get to tip u? #howrudeofme.(sic)"

The spat between the pair has fizzled out over the past year but Ciara recently re-started the argument when addressing Rihanna on an episode of Fashion Police saying she was "nuts" for ignoring her.
