Last year was full of breakout music stars, including Ke$ha, who ruled the scene with a string of dance-pop hits (and a massive overflow of glitter). But not everyone is a Ke$ha fan: The singer was snubbed when the 2011 Grammy nominees were announced in December.

The starlet recently spoke to Vanity Fair about the Grammy snub and said she's determined to score a nod sometime later in her career. And after calling the Recording Academy's award "not that big a deal," Ke$ha admitted that she was saddened by her lack of nominations.

"Of course I do," the singer said when asked if she wanted a Grammy. "I was disappointed that I didn't get nominated. But I've only been around for a year. I'm friends with the Black Keys, and they were nominated for the first time this year. And they've been around for a decade. That's like half my life, so I really can't be a brat about it."

Ke$ha isn't bitter about the situation either, telling the magazine, "I plan on making a lot more records, and hopefully one of them will be Grammy-worthy."

While she may not be gearing up for the big show on Sunday night, Ke$ha is prepping for the launch of her first North American headlining tour, the Get $leazy Tour. The country-wide trek is scheduled to kick off on Tuesday in Portland, Oregon, and continue through May.

Nicole ?Snooki? Polizzi Does ?Rolling Stone? Magazine

For some strange and totally incomprehensible reason, Rolling Stone magazine — which is dedicated to music first and investigative journalism second — decided to put Nicole Snooki Polizzi of MTV‘s Jersey Shore on the cover of their new issue. I suppose the argument could be made that Snooki is “hot” right now in terms of [...]

Watch: Lindsay Lohan?s Interview With ?Extra!? TV, Part 1

Extra! TV aired part 1 of their interview with Lindsay Lohan last night and, in comparison with all the crazy shizz going on with Charlie Sheen, it was by pretty much all accounts a very lackluster chat. While Lindsay gave good answers to the questions posed to her, you can see in the video that [...]

In a recent interview with MTV News, producer Rodney Jerkins said that, on her upcoming Femme Fatale album, Britney Spears got "hands-on," supplying him with "a lot of ideas" and helping shape the energetic sound of the project.

"She's great. She gets it," Jerkins said. "She is a top-notch veteran pro at this now."

So it should probably come as no surprise that, somewhere along the line, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker came to be involved in recording the album — because, while we're not sure if bringing him onboard was Britney's idea, he is most certainly the kind who can bring the energy.

And, as Jerkins said in a recent sit-down with Headline News' "Showbiz Tonight," the experience of working with Spears and Barker was a new one for everyone involved.

"I'm really excited. ... I did two songs on her album, and one of the songs I did, I brought in Travis Barker, and it's got this rock feel which is out of the box, out of my norm, and I think it's out of her norm as well," Jerkins said. "We had a great time making this record."

Jerkins didn't elaborate on much else about the Barker song or Britney's album, saying only that the project is "classic Britney spears, uptempo heavy, of course. It's new and different."

A spokesperson for Barker confirmed to MTV News that the collaboration happened "about a month ago" but, much like Jerkins, wouldn't reveal any additional details of the song. Spears' Femme Fatale is due March 29.
