Last year American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez had a major comeback by urging us to get on the floor . Now she wants to “Dance Again” . Critics are divided on J.Lo’s latest, which once again finds her teaming up with rapper Pitbull and producer RedOne. Some say the tune is a bit too reductive.

Justin Bieber’s new single “Boyfriend” not only showcases the Biebs’ more adult-sounding pipes, its romantic lyrics could make even a non-Belieber want the Juno Award winner as their man. As if that’s not enough, just watching a preview to the track’s fire and ice-themed music video has us practically melting into a puddle on the floor. So to celebrate “Boyfriend” as we prepare ourselves for the full-length video, we’re giving away some “swaggie”, a signed iPhone 4 case to be exact.

Favorites is our recurring video series on the personal preferences of the pop artists who inspire us. Because the artists we love love stuff too. While America at large is busy jibber-jabbering about the handsome boys of the British Invasion happening in pop (see: The Wanted and One Direction ), we thought we’d focus for a moment on one of the lovely ladies. “Lights” singer Ellie Goulding has been busy over the past year with touring , entertaining the royals and working on her sophomore LP

When last we checked, Demi Lovato’s “Give Your Heart A Break” was meant to premiere tomorrow, but — April Fool’s! — it’s here now instead. In addition to curtains and skin, the clip tells a pretty typical story of young love followed by heartbreak, as Demi thinks back on better times with her handsome beau via some old pictures. (Printed ones — because this just wouldn’t work if she was staring at Facebook.) But the Stay Strong diva is up to something with all that photo-gazing — creating a giant collage outside her ex-boyfriend’s apartment! Like many romantic gestures in music videos, it’s super creepy if you’re a regular person, cute and sweet if you’re a pop star. Watch below.

Selena Gomez is the only woman in the world for whom Justin Bieber’s song “Boyfriend” is not wishful thinking. (Though it’d be even more appropriate if it was called “Fiance” — right?) Yesterday she traversed the orange carpet at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards to share her thoughts on the single, calling it a “great song.” Additionally, E! asked Skrillex’s buddy about being arrested in her new movie Spring Breakers — and how exciting it was to be fake-arrested in the film. Watch below. Should Selena make “Boyfriend” her ringtone?

Thank god Justin Bieber is officially 18 , so we can say in all honesty that the 20-second teaser for his “Boyfriend” video is all kinds of hot . In the clip, the pop star looks straight into the camera (though we like to think he’s staring right into our eyes), doing his best whisper pillow talk as a light source swings back and forth overhead. When the first verse finally kicks in, pairs of female hands — adorned with some dangerous-looking jewelery — grab at him. The Bieb remains unaffected, since he’s used to this kind of attention (at least when Selena Gomez isn’t around)

Woah! Talk about a teaser. Yesterday, with the latest preview for Demi Lovato’s “Give Your Heart A Break” video, we commented on the fact that nothing much happened between her and the handsome guy she was standing with. But the latest clip gives us a lot more to talk about: mainly, the 19-year-old singer is lying in bed with the object of her affection, both of them sans clothes. Watch below, and when you finally tear yourself away from the lovey-dovey clip, enter our contest to win a chance to catch Demi live in L.A.

Nicki Minaj’s LP Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded was scheduled to arrive a full week after her pal Madonna ’s new album MDNA , alas the Internet had a different idea in mind.

We decided to round up some of these early assessments, which you can catch after the jump. :: MTV News feels Nicki deserves her own genre with the new album: “Sure, Nicki is a pop icon, but these days, so are Jay-Z and Lil Wayne.
