"Dinero" Is Finally Here! Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B and DJ Khaled Premiere Their New Song. The Bronx is in the house! Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B and DJ Khaled just premiered their infectious summer anthem "Dinero." And we've got to warn you now; this one will be on repeat because it's pretty amazing. While this collaboration might come as a surprise to many, it's been a long time coming. We first got a whiff of this collaboration when J.Lo was in the studio with Khaled. Then in February, the singer confirmed that Cardi would also be on the song. "I feel like you already know that I collaborated with Cardi B," Lopez told Latina. "I do have a record coming out with her, and it's coming out soon. The name of the song is 'Dinero.' I don't know what the video is going to be yet, but we'll see what we come up with." Then just last months we saw photos from these three superstars on set together for the "Dinero" music video. We can't wait to see this music video! (Eonline)
Elton John will take the stage at the royal wedding ... a fitting choice given the singer's history with Prince Harry, Princess Diana and the Royal Family. Sources close to Elton tell TMZ the singer is set to perform during Saturday's event ... it's still unclear whether he'll get behind his piano at the church ceremony or at the reception later in the night. Elton's been tight with the Royal Family for years ... he was an extremely close friend of Princess Diana. The two worked together to raise money for AIDS research and awareness of the disease. The singer was also a tremendous source of support for Prince Harry and Prince William when Diana died in 1997. Elton famously performed "Candle in the Wind" as a tribute for Diana at her funeral. Elton had originally booked shows in Vegas for this weekend, but they were rescheduled months ago due to a "scheduling conflict" ... guess now we know the conflict. (TMZ)
The Backstreet Boys released their new single, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," at midnight Thursday, marking their first song debut since "Show 'Em (What You're Made Of)" off their 2013 album, In a World Like This. "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" -- written by Stephen Wrabel and produced by Stuart Crichton and Jamie Hartman -- was recorded immediately after the first leg of the band's successful 26-show Las Vegas residency, Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life, which will kick off again with an additional 21 shows in July until November. Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson, A.J. McLean and Howie Dorough had been teasing the song's release throughout the week and celebrating with a three-day social media countdown until the premiere. And fans of the boyband turned manband will not be disappointed as the group also dropped the single's video in which the quintet shows off some impressive interpretive and synchronized dance moves that harked back to their heyday. The boys dance with a light show as their backdrop while McLean does his best to serenade what appears to be a hologram of a very attractive woman. The new single release comes nearly a month after the Backstreet Boys celebrated their 25th anniversary. And they're still going strong. Their music was given a country-fied remix following a series of collaborations with Florida Georgia Line including the No. 1 hit "God, Your Mama and Me." "I want to create new memories. We've been singing the same songs for almost 25 years," Littrell recently told PEOPLE. "It's not that we're not excited to sing our old hits, but we want to grow, too. We don't want to be stuck in what was. We want to continue to grow with our fans." (People)

Madonna Teases New Music: 'Coming Soon'. This is not a drill. Madonna hasn't gifted fans new music since 2015, but it looks like she has something up her sleeve.

Jennifer Lopez Drops Bilingual Banger 'Dinero' With DJ Khaled & Cardi B. "Cardi from the pole and Jenny from the block." Jennifer Lopez's "Dinero" dropped Thursday (May 17), and the DJ Khaled and Cardi B-assisted track is a dance floor anthem. The song's title translates to "Money," and it's a fiery proclamation of everyone's love for cold hard cash that's brimming with witty bilingual word play. Over the bass-rumbling trap beat, Lopez repeats: "Yo quiero, yo quiero dinero," which means "I want money" for those who haven't already caught on by now. "They say money talk, but my talking bilingual," Lopez explains in the second verse -- a statement that's definitely true in this song's case. During the latter half of the song, Cardi takes over, declaring: "Y'all can kiss my ass/ Dame un beso" on a characteristically feisty verse. Khaled's unmistakable ad-lib is heard throughout the three and a half minutes as he hypes up the "two bad bitches that came from the Bronx/Cardi from the pole and Jenny from the block." "Dinero" follows Lopez's last single, the unabashedly blunt "El Anillo." The Latina powerhouse will be featured on the star-studded lineup of performers at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards this Sunday (May 20). (Billboard)
