Lady Gaga Reveals Documentary Details and Song Leaker Going To Jail

(Radio.com) Lady Gaga has had a busy few days. In an interview with Carson Daly on Tuesday (August 13) on Los Angeles station AMP Radio (a Radio.com station), just a day after her new single "Applause" was officially released, Gaga confirmed that she will be headlining the iTunes Music Festival on September 1 in London, where she will perform an hour of all new music.

Moreover, Gaga discussed the documentary she's been working on, which encompasses the making of her upcoming album ARTPOP, her hip injury and surgery, and behind-the-scenes tour footage.

As first revealed in tweets from last Christmas and confirmed today, Gaga is collaborating with distinctive photographer/director Terry Richardson on the feature film, which is due out next year. He traveled the world alongside Gaga, capturing the highs and lows.

It seems Richardson is not the only collaborator on the film. Some of the footage that Gaga shot with New York performance artist Marina Abramović will be incorporated into the doc, and Gaga notes that it will be very, well, naked.

"That's how I work, I work naked and smoking and drinking and writing," Gaga told AMP. "I like to feel free."

Speaking on Abramović, Gaga had only positive things to say regarding the artist, who supposed "sobered [her] up a lot."

"She saved my life," Gaga said. "I felt polluted for a while by fame. My time spent with her she spent cleaning my spirit and my house."

As for less uplifting topics in the Mother Monster's world, it seems the hacker who leaked "Applause" a week ahead of its scheduled Aug. 19th release date will be going to jail… which doesn't make her feel great.

While the leak had Gaga and her team working all night to release the song officially via iTunes, she said she's pleased with the amount of spins it has received.

See what she had to say about that and more here.

Katy Perry Release Emoji Video and Her Promo Truck Hit By Drunk

(Radio.com) Though the internet at large may have jumped the gun by leaking Katy Perry's new single "Roar" over the weekend, on Monday (August 12) we still got the promised premiere. And it's a lyric video. And it's done with emojis.

Maybe she got inspiration from Aziz Ansari when he did an all emoji version of "Ni**as In Paris." Either way it's entirely fitting and you can watch the text conversation play out in the video.

The stadium-sized power anthem — rumored to be produced by her long-time production team Dr. Luke and Max Martin — is the first single off of Katy Perry's forthcoming and "darker" album Prism.

If you recall, that album was announced on a gold tractor-trailer, which, as NME reports was just struck by a drunk driver over the weekend. Watch the video and read more here.

Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke and One Direction Added To MTV VMAs

(Radio.com) MTV has added Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke to the list of acts who will be performing at the VMAs on Aug. 25. One Direction will also be at the VMAs making a "special appearance."

Thicke might not really be a surprise for anyone who has been following the Stephen Colbert/Daft Punk saga, especially since Monday (Aug. 12) the late night host revealed that the "Blurred Lines" singer, like Daft Punk, would be playing the show.

In a statement, Thicke says he has "some big surprises planned" for his debut appearance at the VMAs Cyrus, on the other hand, is a new recruit, who, like Thicke, will be making her VMA performance debut with her Top 5 single "We Can't Stop," off her upcoming album Bangerz. more on this story

Hunter Hayes Scores His Third Consecutive No. 1

(Radio.com) Hunter Hayes just pulled a hat trick. This week his single "I Want Crazy" went to No. 1 on the Country Aircheck Mediabase chart. "Crazy" follows the success of his two former No. 1 hits, "Wanted" and "Somebody's Heartbreak."

In an interview with Radio.com during his Encore album release week, Hayes recalled hearing "I Want Crazy" recently on the radio with his parents in Nashville.

"I was riding somewhere with my folks in Nashville on a day off and it came on and conversation ceased," he said. "There was pure excitement. There is pure excitement. There will always be pure excitement. That's not something you get used to or get comfortable with necessarily. It still catches me off guard a little bit and I think it always will because there's something magical about somebody else endorsing your music that way, believing in you like that. It was really cool."

Hayes revealed how the song came together in a writing session with Lori McKenna and Troy Verges. "I had this title 'I Want Crazy' and I was trying to say exactly what I said. I don't want, 'We can make this work. Sure, okay, it's good,'" he explained. "There's these moments in the right relationship where your friends look at you as if they don't know you. They're just like, 'Who are you?' But it's a pleasant surprise. It's not like, 'Dude you haven't called me in six months, kind of surprise. It's more like, 'Where's all this energy and all these laughs coming from. Who is this person?'"

Hayes said what he wants in a relationship is "probably talking a little too much on the phone, bugging everyone around you because you can't live without this person." more on this story

Surviving Beastie Boys Collaborate With Yoko Ono

(Radio.com) Yoko Ono and the Plastic Ono Band have teamed up with Beastie Boys' Mike D and Ad-Rock for the first collaboration since MCA's death in May of last year.

"Tabetai," which features Merrill Garbus a.k.a. tUnE-yArDs, is a drastically different track. The song embodies a tribal sound with maracas, a distinct bass beat and Ono chanting, "fried chicken, chocolate pudding," among other things. Listen here.

Rare Johnny Cash in New Book and CD

(Radio.com) This coming Sept. 12 will mark the tenth anniversary of Johnny Cash's death. And among the tributes and accolades that will undoubtedly mark the occasion comes a new book and CD set honoring the country legend.

Hitting bookstores yesterdat, LIFE Unseen: Johnny Cash – An Illustrated Biography is a 192-page collection featuring rare and never-before-seen photos of the Man in Black from the archives of Sony Music Entertainment (see a gallery of select photos above).

The book also includes interviews with Cash and his family, including June Carter Cash, and reminiscences by his daughter Rosanne Cash and son John Carter Cash.

"I'd seen a lot of these photographs, but the ones I hadn't seen before were really moving to me," Rosanne Cash said in a press statement about the book. "They weren't just kind of stock Johnny Cash pictures, but showed some side of him, some depth, that hadn't really been captured before. And of course I really liked some ironic things, fun things, like him in those black-and-white loafers, and he's holding his Gibson, his Johnny Cash Gibson, and he's in the pale blue socks."

Also being released yesterday is LIFE Unheard: Johnny Cash, a new music collection featuring a dozen rare recordings from throughout Cash's career, including two previously unreleased tracks.

Donna Summer Remixed By Giorgio Moroder, Hot Chip & Chromeo

(Radio.com) A year after her death, Donna Summer is being honored with a new remix album called Love To Love You Donna. The compilation, due out October 22, features classic tracks spanning Summer's nearly 40-year career reworked by the likes of Giorgio Moroder, Frankie Knuckles, Eric Kupper, Chromeo & Oliver and Hot Chip.

Though the full tracklist has yet to be released, Billboard reported that Knuckles, known as "The Godfather of House Music," and Kupper, who has remixed Usher and Miley Cyrus, re-made "Hot Stuff" for the album, while Hot Chip worked on "Sunset People" from Summer's 1979 album, Bad Girls. Chromeo & Oliver re-did "Love Is In Control (Finger On The Trigger)" off her 1982 self-titled album, which will be the first single released from the compilation.

Moroder, who is making a comeback thanks to Daft Punk, co-produced most of Summer's albums released between 1975 and 1980 and crafted a an even sexier remix of "Love to Love You Baby," a song he co-wrote with the disco diva.

Moroder recently premiered the remix at the Way Out West festival in Gothenberg, Sweden earlier this month, telling the crowd this song is "probably his biggest hit." It was Summer's first hit single on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 2 on the chart in February of 1976. This past May, Summer was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Kelly Rowland, who started her speech by saying many of her peers, were probably conceived to the sweet sounds of "Love To Love You Baby."

Watch Moroder's remix of the 1976 hit here.

Bloc Party Lead This Week's New Releases

(Radio.com) Radio.com's Dan Weiss runs down the week's new full-length music releases including his pick for album of the week from Bloc Party, as well as new released from Luke Bryan, Glen Campbell and more.

ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Bloc Party -The Nextwave Sessions EP (Frenchkiss/Co-op): Bloc Party's best since Silent Alarm. So why not a big deal? Depends how much you care about indie-rock's Incubus, an obscenely popular bunch of rhythm addicts who know great sound effects more than they know durable songcraft. But you may be underrating them. Last album's "Octopus" kept it going on too, with the great novelty of a guitar that mimicked a springy doorstop, while the previous album's "Mercury" made an aggressive chant out of Peter Gabriel's "Shock the Monkey" riff and Planet of the Apes redux video. The one before had two good songs too, the jangly up-ballad "I Still Remember" and the corkscrew-riffed Patriot Act smokeout "Hunting for Witches." So these five songs get in and out, indulging the novelty factor fast on "Ratchet" (LOL guys) and ace-in-the-hole drummer Matt Tong on "French Exit" and the clickity-clack atmospherics of "Montreal." The tender ones are called "Obscene" and "Children of the Future." Don't call it a comeback.

Luke Bryan – Crash This Party (Capitol Nashville): You'd be forgiven if you thought he was Luke Wilson instead—Bryan shares his goofy grin and tries to accomplish a similar effect in his music. "I got that real good, feel-good, stuff" he raps on the opener, as a preface for his aw-shucks-deluxe Droopy Dog schtick filling in for cleverness and detail; "Beer in the Headlights," "Drink a Beer" and "We Run This Town" (watch out JAY Z) are the limited party anthems you imagine. Except much, much slower.

Glen Campbell – See You There (Surfdog): Campbell's revisionism is grosser than most, considering Campbell has an actual Chris Brown-esque past with former girlfriend Tanya Tucker. His previous Ghost on the Canvas courted indie-rockers with selections from Paul Westerberg and Guided by Voices, but his 62nd album is likely to be his last, so he remakes his biggest hits in a McRick Rubin style ("Rhinestone Cowboy" over solo fuzzy electric, "Wichita Lineman" with the spaghetti western guitar amped up and the orchestrations gone the way of all Let It Be…Naked) alongside deathbed blues ("Waiting on the Comin' of My Lord") and minor-key tropicalia ("What I Wouldn't Give"). It doesn't not work; every piece of these arrangements is calculated to make us care, and the twisty accordion melody now appended to "Galveston" actually does. Everyone wants a shot at redemption, to paraphrase Paul Simon. Except at age 69, Simon's So Beautiful or So What had something to say about it. See what other new releases made the list.

Sharon Stone Wants Advice From Kim Kardashian

(Extra) "Extra's" Maria Menounos caught up with actress Sharon Stone for an in-depth new interview about "Lovelace," life as a single mom and why she wants advice from Kim Kardashian.

Stone appears in the new movie "Lovelace," playing mom to Amanda Seyfried who portrays the adult film legend. Stone tells Maria she advised Amanda, "That first time you take on a big league crushing role, you're either gonna pull it off or it's gonna crush you."

Sharon, a single mom in real life to three boys reveals she recently took one of them to a Fendi fashion show in Paris, "We had a sensational time…It was great for my son because I've never taken him into my public arena, I'm very cautious about that with my children…It was the first time he saw that his mom was Sharon Stone the movie star…He thought it was hilarious and wonderful…He was like, mom, you're so fun."

Stone also reveals she's impressed with Kim Kardashian's success. "She's not one of the greatest business people out there making gazillions of dollars because she's not a smart cookie! I wish she's give me an hour of business counseling, anytime…Honestly that is one smart girl."

Not like Stone needs it. For years she's had tremendous success as the Global Fundraising Chairman for amFAR. She just collected a check for $150,000 at the fourth annual Kiehl's LifeRide for amfAR. Stone tells Maria, "It's been an extraordinary way to spend the majority of my adulthood, and it has given my fame a lot of meaning for me." Sharon even sharing a touching story about the strides amfAR has made over the past 20 years, "I tortured them to create a Pediatric fund and we had a cure to a child in Atlanta…We've had in this last year some cures through stem cell research for adults. So we do feel like we're getting much closer to some kind of victory here." more on this story

Kirstie Alley Talks About Her Dream Night With John Travolta

(Extra) Actor John Travolta will make his return to TV with a guest appearance on Kirstie Alley's TV Land comedy, "Kirstie." "Extra's" Mario Lopez joined the "Look Who's Talking" co-stars on the "Kirstie" set to talk about them working together and their enduring friendship.

Alley, who said her favorite Travolta movie is "Urban Cowboy," explained about the first time they met. "When I first met John, it was in Canada. We went out the night before we started shooting and I had a little too much tequila. I said, 'Don't talk to me as John... for the whole night can you just be Bud [his character in 'Urban Cowboy']' and he goes, 'I don't want to do that.' I said, 'Okay, be Wayne.' Remember I made up that name for you?"

Kirstie continued, "So the whole rest of the night, he was Wayne, and I just kept drinking more and more tequila. I was on cloud nine. We danced the Two Step, and it was my dream come true."

Kirstie and John have been having fun together for years. Alley gushed, "When I say he is the love of my life, it's because he's the only person that I loved in a way that I would want to run off and marry him. I was able to change it into being best friends, and I'm not like that with guys."

As for his role in "Kirstie," Travolta said, "I play a stagehand, who is really not particularly bright." Alley jumped in, "He plays the dumbest person on earth. It is hysterical." Travolta added, "I know people are comfortable watching me be dumb. If I'm only going to do a guest role, that's the one I thought I would have the most fun doing."

"Kirstie" will premiere in December on TV Land. Tune into EXTRA tonight for Mario's full interview more on this story

Singled Out: Dialekt's Fortress

Today emerging Australian hip-hip star Dialekt tells us about his brand new single "Fortress" which features Xy. Here is the story:

It was near the top floor of the Meriton in Brisbane where myself, Xy Latu & Wayne Tauvao aka Wizzkidd along with a few others were raising glasses to another opportunity seized.

The Mac Book Pro with the usual studio was set up and ready to go for collaboration with Bone Thugs. A friend of ours had organised the show and also a recording session with the iconic group.

After going through a slew of different beats, we chose one and started coming up with some ideas. An hour later the phone rings, Bone ain't coming. They missed their flight, which means the show and recording session was called off.

The organizer didn't take it well and removed himself from the room. We sat there for a while in silence. Not complaining or showing our disappointment but instead looking around the room and out the window which revealed the whole of Brisbane city and surrounding areas.

It was almost in unison that the 3 of us agreed to cook something else up. The studio was there, the penthouse paid for (who knows how) and obviously the creative energy was present.

The rest of what occurred is self-explanatory. If you listen to the track, the whole record is metaphorical. There are pieces of my past which I address and there is a strong theme based on motivation and turning hardship into opportunity.

Xy nailed the hook; it complimented the verses perfectly, and with that beat!! Game over! The music video begins with a short film which symbolises some of the negative aspects to the music industry.

There are definitely a lot of layers to this record!! It was made to be picked apart and looked further into. That's the beauty of it. There's a lot of structure to a fortress, so I wanted to reflect that same structure from a lyrical point of view.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and check out the video here and learn more about Dialekt right here!

Wait there is more!
