Lady Gaga Or Britney Spears? RuPaul's Drag Queens Weigh In

WEST HOLLYWOOD, California — Reluctantly crouched behind the red carpet line, drag queens primping and taking their time, the flashbulbs go off and the cameras go up, all of them yearning for their chance at the cup!
On Tuesday night, we caught up with the stars of "RuPaul's Drag Race" as they head into battle to see who will be the top drag queen of season three. Amid the glam and sequins in the air, competition was definitely on everyone's mind, so what better time to find out who RuPaul's drag queens predict will rule 2011: Lady Gaga or Britney Spears?
"With Britney and Gaga coming out with new [albums] this year — it's going to be Gaga," Shangela, of season two, predicted. "Gaga runs the world, so Britney better take a seat and enjoy."
Tough words about a woman who has reached the #1 iTunes spot in 19 countries since her new single, "Hold it Against Me," was released a little over a week ago.
Season three's Venus D Lite, who could give Madonna a run for her money, stated, "I would probably say Britney — only because Gaga has had her spotlight moment."
However, Raja, also from season three, disagreed: "I'm going to say Gaga. ... She challenges everyone and really puts out new ideas, and I certainly appreciate that."
With both artists set to premiere highly anticipated videos in the next couple of months, fans are waiting to see what new creative visions the stars will bring to the world of pop culture.
"I would love to see [Gaga] just be an artist and not just a character," said Sonique of season two. "With Lady Gaga, you can't really expect anything other than something that is going to be controversial."
season three castmember Mimi Imfurst, who arrived on the red carpet in an epic "worldly" outfit, is definitely on Team Gaga: "Lady Gaga has all the creativity that Britney doesn't have, plus all the talent she doesn't have, so Lady Gaga all the way."
When all is said and done, one thing's for sure: RuPaul's drag queens definitely aren't shy about expressing their opinions. Season three of "RuPaul's Drag Race" premieres Monday (January 24) at 10 p.m. ET/PT, 9 p.m. Central on Logo.
Who do you think will conquer 2011: Britney or Gaga? Sound off below!

Katie Holmes and Suri's Private Jet Travels
Making good use of the family's private jet, Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise touched down at a local airstrip in Los Angeles, CA on Tuesday afternoon (January 25).
The "Mad Money" mommy toted her little darling in her arms with staffers tending their every need upon returning home from visiting family patriarch Tom Cruise in Vancouver, Canada.
During the course of their time north of the border, Katie and Suri are said to have had quite the pleasuarable time during a visit to the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park.
With the mother/daughter duo getting a behind the scenes tour, a source told People magazine, "The little guests always enjoy themselves immensely and holding the creatures is always the most popular."
And while family life is treating her well, the reception of her new movie ?The Son of No One? at the Sundance Film Festival wasn't quite what she had hoped for.
An attendee told press, "When Katie showed up on screen, there was a collective groan. She plays the wife of a Queens' cop [Tatum] and she was completely miscast. They have her cursing a lot. And when she swore, there were chuckles."
"She was wrong for it. Al Pacino's acting in the movie was intentionally over the top, and he did it with a wink. Most of the cast seemed in on the joke -- except for Katie. She was acting like she was in a dramatic Sundance indie, when it's really just a typical cop movie."

Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Other Stars Make Forbes' Top-Earning Of 2010 List
Taylor Swift, Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus also made the magazine's top 20 list of Hollywood moneymakers.

On the East Coast, revenue streams are slowly rising as banks are still cratering and trying to recover from the recession. But out West, money ain't a thing, as Jermaine Dupri and Jay-Z once rapped.
Forbes has released their list of Hollywood's 20 Highest Earners of 2010, with Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus among those rubbing elbows with the likes of power players like Oprah Winfrey.
The venerable talk-show host topped the list with a whopping $315 million haul. Winfrey's earnings were generated for the most part by her multimedia deals, which include a syndication deal for her TV show, a magazine and her soon-to-be-launched network.
"Avatar" creator James Cameron came in second, more than $100 million behind Winfrey, with a tally of $210 million. Director and playwright Tyler Perry ($125 million), blockbuster movie producer Michael Bay ($120 million) and golfer Tiger Woods ($105 million) rounded out the top five.
Beyoncé was the only pop star to break the top 10. The "Single Ladies" superstar landed at #9, sandwiched between George Lucas and Dr. Phil. Mrs. Carter, whose hubby, Jay-Z, was named Hip-Hop's Cash King by Forbes in August with a tally of $63 million, pulled down $87 million over the past 12 months.
The blond-haired trio of Britney Spears ($64 million), Lady Gaga ($62 million) and Madonna ($58 million) made their mark on the list at numbers 13, 14 and 15, respectively.
Pop tarts Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift capped the list. The young stars placed at 18 and 19 on the list, with Disney star Cyrus pocketing $48 million, and country singer Swift depositing $45 million into her bank account.
Hollywood's 20 highest-earning men and women of 2010, according to Forbes:
1. Oprah Winfrey, $315 million
2. James Cameron, $210 million
3. Tyler Perry, $125 million
4. Michael Bay, $120 million
5. Tiger Woods, $105 million
6. Jerry Bruckheimer, $100 million
7. Steven Spielberg, $100 million
8. George Lucas, $95 million
9. Beyoncé, $87 million
10. Dr. Phil, $80 million
11. Simon Cowell, $80 million
12. Jerry Seinfeld, $75 million
13. Britney Spears, $64 million
14. Lady Gaga, $62 million
15. Madonna, $58 million
16. Sandra Bullock, $56 million
17. Ellen DeGeneres, $55 million
18. Miley Cyrus, $48 million
19. Taylor Swift, $45 million
20. Judge Judy Sheindlin, $45 million

Will Lady Gaga Perform At The Grammy Awards?
Gaga's choreographer sends tweets suggesting that singer will take the stage at February 13 show.

Could Lady Gaga be performing at the Grammy Awards? Well, if Laurieann Gibson's tweets are to be believed, the answer could be yes. Gaga's choreographer may have spilled the beans about a possible performance via her Twitter account on Tuesday.
"Grammy meeting performance [extraordinaire]!!! On its way... TeamBoomkack," she wrote. She followed up the tweet with a "yes" when a fan inquired if that was a hint that the Born This Way singer would be taking the stage at the big show on February 13. She also retweeted a fan's comment expressing excitement about what Gaga and Gibson have in store for the performance.
Other than Gibson's tweets, no confirmation from Gaga or the Grammy team has been made, but the Grammy Awards do land on the same day that Gaga planned to release the first single off her May album, lending some credence to the speculation that she may take the stage at the big show.
This year Gaga is up for six awards, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for The Fame Monster, Best Female Pop Performance and Best Short Form Music Video for "Bad Romance," Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals for "Telephone," her track with Beyoncé, and Best Dance Recording for "Dance in the Dark."
Last year, Gaga performed at the show with Elton John. The elaborate performance had John, looking particularly Gaga-fied, playing piano with Gaga as they performed their tunes "Speechless" and "Your Song." Gaga also took home a prize that night for Best Dance Recording.

Lady Gaga Impresses Audience At Vegas Trade Show
'It was interesting because she was chill; she was doing her thing,' one insider says of Gaga's appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show.

When Lady Gaga visited the Consumer Electronics Show on Thursday to unveil her latest creation with Polaroid, one insider said the megastar — who was appearing at CES for the second consecutive year — unsurprisingly acted like a consummate professional.
"The vibe was perfectly chill. We were supposed to go live at 3:30, but she didn't come out until 4:05. She pulled an Axl Rose," joked Victor Borachuk, director of the Ustream webcast that covered the event. "There was a huge crowd. Everyone was waiting and waiting and waiting. Nobody really got upset that she was late. Everybody sat patiently and waited, which was interesting."
Gaga, who was on hand to introduce new Polaroid sunglasses that come equipped with cameras imbedded in the lenses, was all business, Borachuk furthered. Despite a lounge area backstage, the singer generally kept to herself before and after her public appearance. "It was interesting because she was chill; she was doing her thing," he explained. "It wasn't diva-ish. She was very laid back."
Aside from the lack of diva antics, Borachuk said he was most surprised by how much Gaga actually knew about the product and that didn't treat it like some vanity project. "She was actually into the technology. I remember thinking, 'Lady Gaga's into the Polaroid cameras,' " he recalled. "Backstage it was cool. There was a full bar, but she was in her room the whole time until like five minutes before she went out. When she was done, she peaced out. It was a cool event. Last year I heard she didn't make that big of an appearance, but this year she showed up and did her thing."
Gaga herself admitted in a sit-down about the event that she wanted to make sure that the products she put out with the company fit in perfectly with her Little Monsters' lifestyles. "It's been a really long and exciting and grueling and inspiring process with Polaroid, and we've really done everything we can to improve the instant camera to make it new and make it compatible with digital era," she explained. "I wanted to create products that I knew they would love to use."

Robert and Reese's Elephant Liplock
As one of the hottest actors in Hollywood, Robert Pattinson gets to play many roles and, as a bonus, gets to kiss a range of hot Hollywood actresses.
While shooting over the weekend (January 15) for the upcoming film ?Water For Elephants,? the ?Twilight? hunk can be seen passionately locking lips with the beautiful Reese Witherspoon.
On the topic, an always coy Pattinson recently revealed what it was like filming intimate scenes.
He told MTV News, "It's always awkward, in a way, doing it with anybody. But at the same time ... it really depends on how it's staged and stuff. It's like doing Twister."
The film, which is due out on April 22, is based on the book by Sara Gruen while casting Pattinson as Jacob Jankowski, a veterinarian-in-training who takes a position with the circus after the death of his parents.

Beyonce Working With Kanye West Producer S1
'Power' producer tweets he's 'finishing up some monsters' after week in the studio with B.
By James Montgomery
Beyoncé's already taken inspiration from the likes of Michael Jackson and Lauryn Hill, hit the studio with a list of producers that includes Ne-Yo, Sean Garrett and Jim Jonsin, and now, she's hoping to capture the surge of Kanye West's "Power."
B — who's already hard at work on the follow-up to her massive I Am ... Sasha Fierce album — just wrapped a week in the studio with producer S1, the man who co-produced "Power" and has logged time with the likes of Ghostface Killah and Erykah Badu.
S1 broke the news via his Twitter account and also posted a photo of himself and B over on his official site. And from the sound of things, the sessions, which took place in New York City, were definitely eventful.
"A couple of meetings then back in the lab with Beyonce today," he wrote in one tweet. "Excited to see what we're gonna create today after last night's session.
"Not going to bed anytime soon. Beyonce got us in here working and I'm loving every bit of it," he wrote in another post. "Finishing up some monsters ... everything is sounding really great and big!"
There's still not much information about Beyoncé's new album, though in an interview with "Entertainment Tonight" last year, she said that, this time out, she's aiming to "make [her] own genre of music." In a follow-up interview with MTV News, she clarified that statement, explaining that she's "mixing every type of genre that I love" on the new album, and added, "I'm not in a box. It's not R&B. It's not typically pop. It's not rock. It's just everything I love all mixed together in my own little gumbo of music."

Lady Gaga Unveils Polaroid Camera Sunglasses
Mother Monster also shows off portable photo printer and other gadgets from her 'Grey Label' collaboration during electronics fest.

She's adorned her shades with lit cigarettes and covered her peepers with jewel-encrusted spheres, but Lady Gaga's latest pair of sunglasses has taken eyewear to stylish and tech-savvy new heights.
The influential songstress revealed her yearlong "Grey Label" collaboration with Polaroid to a packed room and thousands of fans who tuned into the event via Ustream at the Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, in Las Vegas on Thursday (January 6), and among the spankin' new products is a pair of shades with cameras embedded in the lenses.
Gaga, who took the stage nearly an hour after the publicized start time in a black corseted gown and wispy veil, showed off the innovative specs perched on a bronzed mannequin. Once turned on, tiny twin screens appeared in each lens, and Gaga explained that the futuristic accessories can snap photos and capture video, and are equipped with Bluetooth capabilities and a USB connector.
Mother Monster also showed off a sleek, portable photo printer about the size of a clock radio that allows users to instantly print physical copies of smartphone pics using Bluetooth technology — although the device isn't iPhone compatible. Gaga said the invention was inspired by seeing the legions of concertgoers thrusting camera phones in the air at her shows. She then demonstrated the nifty printer by snapping a picture of the assembled crowd of Gaga-ites and gadget heads — playfully barking, "Smile! You're so f---ing famous! — and brandishing a glossy image minutes later from the mini-machine. According to a Polaroid executive, the product should be available in May.
Gaga also introduced a suitably stylish and social media-friendly revamp of the classic Polaroid instant camera that she said would eventually allow photogs to directly share images on Facebook and Twitter. The product is slated to hit shelves around Christmas.
The Gaga-approved gadgets cap off a year of tinkering at Polaroid, which began when the "Bad Romance" belter was announced as a creative director in January 2010.
"I love the products, I'm so proud to be here," Gaga gushed about developing the gadgets with Polaroid. "They honored me as a woman, as a creative director and they really let me [put my] hands in there and design this sh-- myself."

Katy Perry Praises Lady Gaga, Ke$ha In Maxim
The 'Firework' singer reveals, 'I've known Ke$ha forever. She's actually in the 'I Kissed a Girl' video.'

Everyone knows that Katy Perry is besties with Rihanna, so it might not be too surprising that Perry has only the kindest words for fellow female pop contemporaries Ke$ha and Lady Gaga, even if she has been critical of one of those women's artistic choices in the past.
"I love what Gaga is doing, and I love what Ke$ha is doing," Perry says in Maxim's new issue, for which she also serves as the cover girl. "I've known Ke$ha forever. She's actually in the 'I Kissed a Girl' video."
But, Perry isn't just dishing on her fellow lady celebrities, she's also showing some love for the fellas, one of whom she married in the fall. "I've said Justin Bieber [was my celebrity crush] quite a few times, but I think I'm over it now. I think it's probably safe to say I married my celebrity crush," the singer shares about husband Russell Brand. "Don't barf on this magazine."
Earlier this year, Perry was chosen to top Maxim's 2010 Hot 100 list, and she admits that the honor has really given her cred all over the place.
"It's a worldwide thing — the rest of the world makes it their standard," she says. "It's one of the questions they ask me in all interviews now, even in places where Maxim doesn't exist. I'll go to Timbuktu, and they'll be like, 'You're the #1 hottest,' and I'm like, 'Maxim said so, but thank you so much for saying so in Timbuktu.' "
So, what does Perry think makes ladies sexy? A fun-loving attitude, obviously.
"The way she presents herself and the air she has about her. You can feel her power and her confidence," Perry explains. "Also, the way she uses her ability to communicate, her brain and personality. I think that's really sexy because you all know the hottest woman can be the biggest bitch, and that's not cool."
Still riding high on the success of her Teenage Dream album, Perry shows no signs of slowing down, with a 2011 tour and a role in the "Smurfs" film on the way.
"You know, I wasn't allowed to watch 'Smurfs' growing up, ever. I grew up in a sheltered household, and my parents would keep us from certain things they thought were too much for us and our eyes," she recently told MTV News regarding her role as Smurfette. " 'Smurfs' had what my parents said was a lot of sorcery and magic."

Britney, Gaga, Lil Wayne Lead 2011's Most-Anticipated Albums
Offerings from Drake, Coldplay, Rick Ross, U2, Jay-Z and Kanye West and more also make our list of LPs to watch for this year.

2010 went out with a bang thanks to blockbuster albums by Taylor Swift, Kanye West and Nicki Minaj, but 2011 looks to top that flurry of releases with an avalanche of fresh product from some of your favorite artists.
While its release is still unconfirmed, one of the most anticipated discs of the year could drop as early as next week. That's when Jay-Z and Kanye's collabo album, Watch the Throne, hits shelves if comments made by Yeezy on New Year's Eve are to be believed.
Here's a breakdown of some other important albums on tap for 2011.
Hip-Hop
The Jigga/'Ye hookup promises to be the first of many major rap events in the first half of the year, which is also expected to bring the long-awaited new disc from Lupe Fiasco, Lasers; the full-length debut from Wiz Khalifa; as well as not-yet-titled new sets from Nas and 50 Cent.
In addition to Rick Ross' God Forgives, I Don't and a possible Dipset reunion effort, fans are also awaiting release dates for Drake's sophomore CD, Take Care, and the debut from buzzbomb MC/producer Jay Electronica, who holds the seal of approval from Roc Nation head Jay-Z. And after a delay caused by MCA's (a.k.a. Adam Yauch) cancer scare, the Beastie Boys are planning a return with their eighth studio album, The Hot Sauce Committee, Part 2, in the spring.
All of that could just be an appetizer, though, for the main event: the release of Lil Wayne's first post-prison album, the hotly tipped Tha Carter IV, which has not yet received a street date. And there is, of course, the always tantalizing proposition of Dr. Dre finally dropping his years-in-the-making rap follow-up Detox, on which Eminem has recently said he's been working with his mentor.
Pop
Since "Whip My Hair" became a viral sensation, fans have been hyped for the still-untitled debut from tween star Willow Smith, who has hinted she might remake one of dad Will's signature hits. But it's the next move from the queen of R&B, Beyoncé, that has fans really psyched.
She may have killed off her alter ego for the follow-up to 2008's smash I Am ... Sasha Fierce, but Beyoncé has some big plans for her still-untitled album. Producer Jim Jonsin said he intends to take a retro, Depeche Mode-inspired electro direction on some of the songs, while Sean "The Pen" Garrett promised some uptempo party records, with B drawing inspiration from Michael Jackson and Lauryn Hill.
The year's biggest showdown, though, could come in the emerging diva battle between Britney Spears and Lady Gaga. Britney looks to draw first blood with the upcoming release of a single from her next album, "Hold it Against Me," which is due within the week. Gaga's second full-length album, Born This Way, is one of the most anticipated of the year and currently slated to hit in May, with the title track single expected in February.
Other pop releases on tap include an album from "Glee" star Matthew Morrison, the long-awaited new disc from troubled British R&B singer Amy Winehouse, Avril Lavigne's delayed Goodbye Lullaby, a possible second CD from dance duo La Roux, more body-thumping goodness from Swedish singer Lykke Li and the debut from Sky Ferreira. Also in the studio and expected to wrap up sessions in time for a 2011 release is Kelly Clarkson.
Rock
This year will bring a bumper crop of albums from reunited rock bands, classic acts and new groups looking to capitalize on their recent success.
In addition to a dance-oriented album from U2 called Songs of Ascent, you can expect new tunes from R.E.M (Collapse Into Now) and the Foo Fighters, whose next one will feature a mini-Nirvana reunion thanks to bass on at least one track by ex-Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic.
Other artists expected or scheduled to release LPs this year include Radiohead, the Decemberists, Death Cab for Cutie, My Morning Jacket, Bright Eyes, Cold War Kids, PJ Harvey, ex-Fall Out Boy singer Patrick Stump, former FOB bassist Pete Wentz's new band Black Cards, Iron & Wine, Tennis, Passion Pit, Fiona Apple, Fleet Foxes, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Wilco and the reunited No Doubt.
Speaking of reunions, Blink-182 have been working on their first new album in seven years, while drummer Travis Barker is slated to drop his solo debut in the first half of the year. Another band returning from a long hiatus, the Strokes, also look to make their comeback in early 2011.
They've kept things quiet, but Coldplay are also hard at work on what they've described as a concept album about a couple lost in love. The Brian Eno-produced album has not yet gotten a street date.
After having a smash 2010 with Lungs, fans of Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine may also get a second album from the flame-haired singer. Although there's been no official announcement, based on comments made by singer/guitarist Jack White, this could also be the year the White Stripes return to action after a nearly three-year hiatus.

Lady Gaga Impresses Audience At Vegas Trade Show
'It was interesting because she was chill; she was doing her thing,' one insider says of Gaga's appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show.

When Lady Gaga visited the Consumer Electronics Show on Thursday to unveil her latest creation with Polaroid, one insider said the megastar — who was appearing at CES for the second consecutive year — unsurprisingly acted like a consummate professional.
"The vibe was perfectly chill. We were supposed to go live at 3:30, but she didn't come out until 4:05. She pulled an Axl Rose," joked Victor Borachuk, director of the Ustream webcast that covered the event. "There was a huge crowd. Everyone was waiting and waiting and waiting. Nobody really got upset that she was late. Everybody sat patiently and waited, which was interesting."
Gaga, who was on hand to introduce new Polaroid sunglasses that come equipped with cameras imbedded in the lenses, was all business, Borachuk furthered. Despite a lounge area backstage, the singer generally kept to herself before and after her public appearance. "It was interesting because she was chill; she was doing her thing," he explained. "It wasn't diva-ish. She was very laid back."
Aside from the lack of diva antics, Borachuk said he was most surprised by how much Gaga actually knew about the product and that didn't treat it like some vanity project. "She was actually into the technology. I remember thinking, 'Lady Gaga's into the Polaroid cameras,' " he recalled. "Backstage it was cool. There was a full bar, but she was in her room the whole time until like five minutes before she went out. When she was done, she peaced out. It was a cool event. Last year I heard she didn't make that big of an appearance, but this year she showed up and did her thing."
Gaga herself admitted in a sit-down about the event that she wanted to make sure that the products she put out with the company fit in perfectly with her Little Monsters' lifestyles. "It's been a really long and exciting and grueling and inspiring process with Polaroid, and we've really done everything we can to improve the instant camera to make it new and make it compatible with digital era," she explained. "I wanted to create products that I knew they would love to use."

Recently Beyoncé revealed that she wants to make her "own genre of music" for her next album. So when MTV News caught up with the singer at the New York screening of her concert special, "I Am ... World Tour," we asked her to clarify what exactly it is that she's creating in the studio.
"Well, I wouldn't say I'm inventing a new genre," she said. "I'm mixing every type of genre that I love and I'm inspired by every type of genre."
Beyoncé went on to say that people should throw any preconceived notions about the follow-up to 2008's I Am ... Sasha Fierce out the window. "I'm not in a box," she said. "It's not R&B. It's not typically pop. It's not rock. It's just everything I love all mixed together in my own little gumbo of music."
The singer says that quite a motley crew of musicians have inspired the album. "Definitely Fela Kuti, the Stylistics. How random, right?" she laughed. "So many people ... Lauryn Hill, Stevie Wonder, of course, Michael Jackson's Off the Wall ... all of those things I'm kind of mixing together."
For the album, Beyoncé has been hitting the studio with many of her usual collaborators including Ne-Yo, Sean Garrett and Jim Jonsin. And her mom, Tina Knowles, has given the tracks she's heard so far her seal of approval, saying, "Of course [I heard it]. It's amazing. It's so amazing!"
