In a recent interview, Lady Gaga talks about working with Cher and their duet, “The Greatest Thing.”

She tells MTV News, “I wrote that song a long time ago, and I’ve never put it on one of my own albums for, really, no particular reason. I always write these concept records, and it just didn’t fit in. But it’s always been, like, this big, massive, beautiful hit record and everyone always says, ‘Why don’t you put that on your album?’ And I said, ‘I don’t know, it just doesn’t fit with everything else.’

“Cher heard the song and loved it and wanted to do it together. And I said, ‘F**k yeah, it’s Cher!”

Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine will collaborate on a new Maroon 5 single, reports Billboard.

The two music artists, who are judges on NBC’s ‘The Voice,’ will collaborate on the track ‘Moves Like Jagger.’

The single is set to be released next week on iTunes. They also plan to perform the single on the June 21 episode of the show.

Levine said in a statement that it was “great” getting to work with Christina, while Aguilera called the collaboration a “wonderful opportunity.”

The song is described as a quintessential Maroon 5 pop song, with an upbeat tune. This isn’t the first time Levine has teamed up with a pop icon, previously jamming with Rihanna on ‘If I Never See Your Face Again.’

I’m excited, I’m sure the song is great! It will be interesting to see how Aguilera’s powerful voice mixes with Levine’s softer, serenading voice. Great publicity for ‘The Voice,’ too.

Could a Britney Spears and Lady Gaga collaboration be in the works?

MTV News is reporting that Spears is desperate to work with Gaga, who has previously written three songs for her. Guess the tables have turned!

“Britney is desperate to work with her again. She is very aware of that Gaga is a big threat to her in terms of her longevity in music. She’s fascinated with her and blown away by her music. So far there has been no indication that a collaboration will ever happen. Britney feels like with artists like Gaga and Katy Perry, her days in pop are coming to an end,” says the source to ShowbizSpy.

I die over this news. Unlike Britney’s collaborations with Rihanna or Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha, this would actually be fire. Pure greatness. Gaga would not let her release some crappy collaboration. I think it needs to happen. Now.

Although they obviously have very different styles, Lady Gaga wants to work with Susan Boyle. Canoe.ca reports that Gaga has claimed Susan Boyle “women of the year”. Gaga became a fan after seeing her appearance on Britain’s Got Talent on the Internet, and loved Simon Cowell’s reaction of seeing the British singer.

“I love Susan Boyle. She is my woman of the year. She has achieved more in this year than most artists will in a lifetime. This time last year nobody even knew who she was and now she is knocking the world’s most established artists off the album and singles charts.”

Additionally she sees a huge opportunity for a duet with Boyle. “Our styles are different. I don’t know if we could work together, but never say never. It would be great to work with somebody of that talent.”

Wilco have confirmed that Canadian chanteuse Feist will make an appearance on their latest, as-yet-untitled album, which is slated for release in late June.

“Rumors and blogs regarding a guest appearance on (the track “You and I”) are, amazingly, quite true,” a posting on the band’s website stated Friday. “Feist does indeed lend a great vocal.”

It was reported earlier this month that the two acts hit it off when they met at last year’s Grammys and have kept in touch over the past year. “(Wilco singer Jeff) Tweedy is a huge fan of duets, and wanted to work a duet into the new album. Feist was their first call,” Rolling Stone’s Smoking Blog revealed.

According to Wilco’s recent posting, the alt-rockers have spent the last few weeks working on the album in Valencia, California. So far, the band has produced ten songs with producer/engineer Jim Scott, who also mixed their previous album, 2007′s “Sky Blue Sky.”

Wilco fans can also look forward to another release – the band’s live DVD, “Ashes of the American Flags,” which will be available exclusively at indie retail outlets on Record Store Day (April 18). It will be released to all retailers two weeks later.

Feist is up for two awards at this Sunday’s Juno Awards, the fan choice award and video of the year for “Honey Honey.”

The heat is on as the tension and conversation topic of Chris Brown and Rihanna getting back together circulates throughout the press and dominates the hours of daytime television. Dr. Phil, Tyra Banks and Oprah Winfrey are among the major heavy weight daytime talk show hosts that have stepped forward to comment on domestic violence and explore the issue and the specific case of Chris Brown and Rihanna.

Now, as mtvnews.com reports, a spokesperson for producer Polow Da Don has stepped forward and confirmed that Chris Brown and Rihanna have indeed recorded a duet just days after Brown was charged with two felonies after his alleged Feburary, 8th altercation with Rihanna.

An unnamed source reported to Us Magazine on Wednesday that the song had themes of getting through tough times in a relationship and growing stronger with each other. “The song was originally created for Rihanna before the fight. However, it wasn’t initially slated for Chris to be on the song,” the source explained.

The source goes on to explain that “the song expresses the emotions that both Chris and Rihanna are feeling at this moment — facing challenges and overcoming the ups and downs of a relationship in which you become stronger.”
