Alicia Keys

Earlier this week, Alicia Keys posted a video message on YouTube assuring fans that her new record will be coming soon. Keys said the album comes from an emotional place, inspired by her marriage to producer Swizz Beatz and the birth of their son in 2010. "It's like I'm a different person, a new person," Keys explains in the clip. "Everything is new, from being married and having a baby, and what that's done for me in just giving me a sense of real stability, real connection, grounding, reason, and purpose. So much of the music that you're going to hear is talking about what that feels like, what we're all going through, all of us... That empowerment, that freedom is definitely something that's reflected in this album." After releasing the video message, the singer leaked an upbeat track called "New Day," though it's unclear whether this will be the first official single.

Katy Perry has been doing interviews everywhere lately to promote her upcoming 3D movie, Katy Perry: Part Of Me, and in the new issue of L'Uomo Vogue, the singer says that she will use the recent heartbreak in her personal life as inspiration for her next album. "It will be a much darker album than the previous one. It was inevitable, after what I went through," she said in the fashion magazine. "If I had a time machine and could go back in time, I would. But I can't, so you'll discover another part of me." But before she hits the studio to work on new music, she plans to take a little break. "I'm going into hiding. I want to go and write songs in the woods or something," she told MTV News earlier this week. "I'm gonna unplug, take my hair extensions out, feel my head again. I'm gonna unplug and recharge, if that makes any sense. I'm gonna go away."

Their album Up All Night only recently came out in the States, but the group may be finished recording the next one by the end of the summer. "We’ve been recording already, actually," 1D member Niall Horan told MTV. "When we came back from Australia, we had a couple weeks off and then we went straight into the studio to get cracking on the next album. We wrote an absolutely cracking song that we’re all kind of very excited about, and then last week we were in L.A. and we had five days off the tour to record in L.A. so we recorded more there." He added that the band is spending all of July and August "getting the album done" and a lead single may be released in September.

Bob Seger was reportedly robbed by a family friend after a party at his home. CBS Detroit reports that a 20-year-old friend of Seger's daughter was arrested and charged on Tuesday with stealing cash and other items, including sneakers autographed by Shaquille O’Neal and a Rolex watch. Seger's 1978 Gibson Les Paul guitar that was featured on his Greatest Hits CD also went missing, although it turned up on the family's dock after the theft and the accused denies that he took it. "It mysteriously showed up right after I talked to him, but he denied he took it," Orchard Lake Detective Darrell Betts told CBS. "That was my main goal, getting that guitar back… It's priceless." The guitar is now in a police storage locker, awaiting the prosecutor's order that it's safe to return. "I hope he (Seger) locks it up when it’s returned," Betts said.
