"She [Contostavlos] wrote to that song [Scream & Shout] before I did -- this is the truth. But the producers of the beat -- two brothers from Belgium called Lazy Jay -- didn't want her to have it, so I wrote to it and Britney is the only person I ever had in mind." -- will.i.am

Black Eyed Peas Rapper will.i.am recently released a duet with pop princess Britney Spears for the track "Scream & Shout" but recent rumors that she wasn't the original collaborator chosen for the song were putting a damper on the track. Apparently British "X Factor" star Tulisa Contostavlos had originally recorded the song for her album, and was planning to release it as a single. However, when will.i.am heard it, he decided to record the track with Britney. At least this explains the Femme Fatale creator's affected British accent on the track?

As the nation tries to cope with the Dec. 14 school shooting that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Ct., where a gunman killed 20 students and six staff members, judges and finalists from "The Voice" made sure that the victims were honored during last night's (Dec. 18) show.

The group opened the show singing "Hallelujah," each holding a placard with the name and age of each of the 26 victims with candles surrounding the stage. Judges Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green, and Adam Levine all had solos, and were joined by this season's contestants and host Carson Daly. Christina Milian, who does social media for the show, was also present.

Those who live their lives in the public eye are accustomed to their fair share of name-calling, but one label that really rubs Miley Cyrus the wrong way is "slut." As she grew up from a child star to the 20-year-old woman she is today, Miley's changing, and often revealing fashion choices, and some racy-photo scandals have led detractors to make assumptions and insinuations about her sex life.

Now, Miley is speaking out against the "idiots" who have labeled her the nasty "S"-word, after an infographic surfaced comparing her dating life to that of her pop peer with a squeaky clean image, Taylor Swift.

E! News' journalist Ken Baker Tweeted an Instagram graphic that compared the public images and dating lives of Cyrus and Swift, 23. A caption next to a photo of Miley reads, "Is called a slut or a b---h every day. Has been with the same guy for more than three years and is engaged to him." In contrast, the caption next to Taylor's photo reads, "Is called sweet, elegant and inspirational. Has been with more than 13 guys for the past 3 years."

Chris Martin Coldplay Sandy Benefit Hurricane Concert 12-12-12 Getty Images

"I know that you really wanted One Direction but it's way past their bedtime, so that's why you get one quarter of Coldplay (instead)." -- Chris Martin

At the recent 12-12-12 Sandy Benefit Concert held at Madison Square Garden, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin poked fun at British pop stars One Direction. Although the concert had a stacked bill with rock legends like Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel, it included very few pop acts. Plus, the lengthy show went on so late it prompted Martin to take a jab at the young men in 1D -- perhaps the fellow Brit rocker is just jealous of their youth?!
