Ding ding. ‘The Voice‘ vs. ‘X Factor‘ battle has officially begun, a week before the season premieres and the ratings books. ‘The Voice’ is strategically attempting to win Round 1 by adding an extra episode of Season 3 during the premiere week on Wednesday, Sept. 12, which is the same day that Season 2 of ‘X Factor’ premieres. That move has got Simon Cowell fighting mad.

Lady Gaga‘s new album ‘ARTPOP‘ will not just be an album but a “PROJECT.” The Mother Monster let us know that via a post on her LittleMonsters.com site, sharing that it will be a multimedia experience that can be enjoyed in a myriad of ways.

Taylor Swift has donated a pair of shiny red Bloch brand ballet flats to Soles4Souls, an international shoe charity. Not only are the shoes as adorable and as fashionable as Dorothy’s from ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ but the ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’ singer also autographed the inside soles of the shoes, and with a heart. So whoever bids on and wins the shoes might not want to wear them, s

Christina Aguilera is always glammed up on ‘The Voice.’ Perennially red-lipped. Always long-lashed. Totally done up. She swaps out her glamazon look for a soft, sweet and sexy, not to mention casual, pose on the cover of the October issue of Lucky.

America’s sweetheart Taylor Swift is going to need to put an addition onto her house in order to store her awards.

Lady Gaga is Mother Monster to all her fans. However, glammy U.K. rock band the Darkness considers her to be like their mothers. Literally…like the women who birthed them! No, we’re not kidding!

John Mayer‘s got a lot going on right now. The singer had surgery last week and is now musically silenced for the next six months. He is not able to sing while he recovers from surgery to remove a granuloma from his vocal cords. He was, however, spotted with reported ex Katy Perry over the weekend, as well. Never a dull moment on Planet Mayer.

Carly Rae Jepsen tweeted the track listing for her upcoming album ‘Kiss,’ which lands at retail on Sept. 18. The album is 16 songs strong, and Jepsen shared a handwritten image, featuring all sorts of bubble letters and doodling, of the track titles via Twitter. So cute, just like her.

Meow! British Ginger kid Ed Sheeran was interviewed by a large cat, courtesy of those ever-creative folks at the New Zealand publication Coup de Main. Yes, we said a cat. Sheeran was a good sport during the cat chat, fielding lots of awkward, hilarious and inappropriate questions from the bulky kitty.

While Lady Gaga was performing in Finland this week, a little monster threw a cell phone with a photo of Britney Spears on it on stage. We’re not sure why a monster would toss their valuable phone on stage, since they are expensive, contain sensitive personal information, are essential to modern communication and not something that Gaga really needs in hand-me-down form. But it did get a response

British cutie and PopCrush fave Cher Lloyd brought her sassy pop to the ‘TODAY’ show and Rockefeller Plaza in NYC this morning (Aug. 30.)

Pitbull isn’t the only superstar at the mercy of Internet pranksters. America’s sweetheart Taylor Swift appears to be falling victim to a similar “campaign” and may end up performing at a school for the deaf due to jokers on 4Chan.
