Anyone interested in taking a trip to Dublin this summer?!

WE certainly are, especially after catching wind that for Justin Timberlake's upcoming concert date there, held in Phoenix Park on July 10, the Suit & Tie crooner will be joined by two very special guests as opening acts:

Jessie J and James Arthur!

The X Factor UK winner took to Twitter last night to announce the news himself:

Remember? She's NOT a home wrecker!

We kid, we kid.

But LeAnn Rimes is reminding everyone she's not only just a girl, but she's also still a singer!

LeAnn has debuted her music video for her new song Just A Girl Like You which shows us a very different LeAnn than we've been seeing on Twitter!

The upbeat singer let her vocals do their thing while dancing around and having fun in her rocking new video.

We must admit, it's nice seeing her get back to music with a light song instead of getting into an online feud!

We even almost see a glimpse of the young LeAnn we once loved so much!

Ch-ch-check it out …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

We’re used to Ke$ha shocking us with her usual out-of-the-box antics — ahem, tasting her own urine — but we weren’t expecting her to share her newest track, Machine Gun Love so soon!

The singer, currently on her Warrior World Tour, hit up Boston and gave a live performance of the full single! What’s more, she ordered her fans to pull out their recording devices and get the track on tape! This lady’s all about sharing!

Ch-ch-check out her live performance …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Avril Lavigne's latest single may be called Here's To Never Growing Up, but apparently, the Canadian songstress has spent the better part of the last few years doing just that…and it seems to be doing wonders for her personal life AND career!

In the June/July issue of Nylon magazine, she not only discusses what to expect from her soon-to-be-released fifth studio album, but her unplanned romance with fiance Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, past troubles over creative freedom with record labels, and her incredibly close friendship with former X Factor judge L.A. Reid!

Ch-ch-check out some HIGHlights …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

As we've all seen by now, it was certainly not as #Beautiful of a morning as it could have been for Mariah Carey!

The diva took the Good Morning America stage in Central Park this AM for their summer concert series, and between her on-air s-bomb, a SERIOUS wardrobe malfunction, and her general wacky one-liners and quips scattered throughout the set, it was pretty much controlled chaos from the get-go!

And that's NOT even factoring her, ahem, surprisingly "off" vocal stylingz!

However, those folks watching west coast feed

So gorgeous, this girl is bringing us to tears!

Damn, Emeli Sandé is AH-Mazing!

We knew we loved it when she gets down with songs like Next To Me, but ballads like Easier To Cry hit us freakin' hard.

Her powerful voice, the pure emotion and those ridiculously spot on lyrics are almost too much to handle!

This song is destined for success…and will most definitely be played by a few people suffering some heartbreak!

Ch-ch-check it out (above)!

Carrie Underwood may have been Blown Away by a tornado made from special effects in the music video for her smash song of the same name, but when it comes to the real life consequences of such a devastating force a nature, she's wasted no time jumping right into action!

In the wake of the lost lives and mass destruction at the hands of the tornados that ravaged Oklahoma, the country superstar has followed in the footsteps of Kevin Durant, Blake Shelton and countless other heroes by donating $100 MILLION to the American Red Cross for relief efforts in her native state!

She says in a statement:
