When LMFAO’s RedFoo arrived in Nice, France earlier today, it wasn’t his animal-print pants that were out of control — it was his plush zebra fanny pack. The upcoming Super Bowl Halftime performer is overseas for tomorrow’s NRJ Awards , but tonight, as per the “Sexy And I Know It” rapper’s twitter feed , he’s: “…in Cannes bitchhhhh. About to take a disco nap. Then beat rockin tonight baby babies!” Click through for a look at RedFoo’s outrageous outfit, because it’s not every day you see a grown man shufflin ‘ through the airport with a miniature zebra strapped to his waist

Believe it or not, there was more going on this week that had nada to do with Lana Del Rey — Madonna’s Super Bowl show got a shuffin’ upgrade with LMFAO (and possibly Cee Lo Green ?); Adam Lambert gave serious fierce face on his Trespassing album cover ; and Miley Cyrus surprised us all with a mature cover of a Bob Dylan song . Find out what else had everybody talking in today’s Whatcha Say comment round-up! :: Our readers were not happy (to say the least) when it was confirmed by will.i.am that LMFAO would be joining Madonna during her halftime performance. Justin M is hoping that this new addition is simply a rumor: “OH NO. I pray this isn’t true! LMFAO will ruin everything!!!!! Madonna… you don’t need them!!!!!” :: John was caught reminiscing on the past: “Nicki ‘Stupid Hoe’ Minaj and LMFAO

As Glee draws closer to its Michael Jackson tribute show (make sure you tweet accordingly with the #GleeHee hashtag), the musical dramedy has teased us with another selection from Tuesday’s episode. Naya Rivera pays homage to the original music video for “Smooth Criminal” with a fedora and zoot suit jacket, though she stays clear of attempting MJ’s signature anti-gravity lean . Instead, Dalton Academy’s Sebastian and McKinley’s fiercest creature circle two cellists in what looks like the most low stakes round of musical chairs ever. Watch below.

Lil Wayne has a book and a new album on the way (does this man ever sleep?), but he’s still rolling out Tha Carter IV singles like a mad man. “Mirror”, an introspective tune featuring every rapper’s favorite hook-meister Bruno Mars, will be the fifth single off Weezy’s latest, and the video is due on Tuesday January 31. Get a sneak peek by watching Wayne and Mars paint their set in reds and blacks in the preview clip below. Lil Wayne feat.

Before they take the SNL stage on February 11 (and hopefully receive a more positive response than other music newbie Lana Del Rey did ), Karmin sends out the second single from their upcoming debut album, due this April. On the sunny “Broken Hearted”, frontwoman Amy Heidemann slips back and forth from singing to rapping, like a glossy, glitter-less Ke$ha, minus any sign of sleaze. Check it out below. Karmin – “Broken Hearted” We doubt Amy’s heart has been broken in awhile, as she is currently engaged to her bandmate Nick Noonan.

According to a post over at Oh No They Didn’t (which sources a French music site ), Lady Gaga will not only perform at the Grammys next month, but she’s set to drop yet another single from Born This Way — and, rejoice Little Monsters, because it’s fan favorite “Heavy Metal Lover”, which the pop star recently performed during her gig on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve . Not only did we call the electro-sizzle of a dance tune one of the best non-singles of 2011 (guess we’ll have to update that status!), we thought it was one of the highlights of Gaga’s entire Born This Way era the moment we first heard it . Gaga reportedly chose the song because she ”wants to make fans dance and sweat all around the world.” We’re on board.
Adam Lambert turns the big 3-0 this Sunday, and with his highly anticipated album Trespassing in the works and Monday’s premiere of his “Better Than I Know Myself” music video, it seems as though 30 is going to shape up to be one stellar year for Glambert. In celebration of the birthday for American Idol ’s most fascinating alum, we’ve rounded up 30 of Adam’s best photos ever for your entertainment (and ours). Get ready for some major makeup, hair that could be considered art, and a whole lot of sex appeal by scrolling through these glam shots. And please do let us know in the comments or on Facebook and Twitter if we left out your personal fave photo.

The roles of Ke$ha, Wiz Khalifa, Andre 3000, T.I. and Lil Wayne in the video for “Get Sleazy 2.0 (Get Sleazier)” will be played by a large black man with a mohawk, a Pabst Blue Ribbon-guzzling drag queen, a folksy townie, a foul-mouthed old man, and a bat-wielding teen hoodlum, respectively. “This video is the product of my friends seeing how sleazy the already monumentally Sleazy Remix 2.0 could get,” writes K-Dolla. “Brace yourself because this video takes SLEAZY to a whole new level.” Yeah, she’s not kidding.

Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” — or is it “What Doesn’t Kill You (Stronger)”? (we can’t keep track) — is currently burning up the airwaves and recently became the First Lady Of American Idol ’s 10th Top 10 single on the Hot 100. But with all the nods the Texas pop diva has been getting from various country music awards associations via her Jason Aldean duet , it seems only natural Clarkson would give one of her latest hits a makeover in the style of the genre. Giddy-up below to listen to the countrified “Mr.

Mariah Carey has been pulling double duty as a doting wife and loving mother — but it’s time she reclaim her spot as pop’s leading diva. The songbird was snapped working in the studio in Atlanta last night with longtime collaborator Jermaine Dupri (”We Belong Together”). We know for a fact that Mimi looked absolutely smokin’ (thanks, Jenny !) — time will tell just how hot her new music will be. Hop below for more pics of the singer posing with Dupri.
