Who joined Jay-Z for his final Legends show in Miami? Did Toni Braxton have a wardrobe malfunction? What makes Katy Perry "Roar" in real life?

Early estimates are declaring that Lady Gaga's "Applause" was a flop. Katy Perry's "Roar" is more than doubling "Applause"'s numbers and record execs are planning on releasing a second advance single from ARTPOP before its debut. It doesn't look good for Gaga, but the song's music video and her VMA performance could turn it around. [Examiner]

Katy Perry might be celebrating the success of "Roar", but she's still fighting for same sex marriage rights. While on a radio talk show in Australia, she had to politely diss a fellow guest, an Aussie politician who favored "traditional marriage." [MTV News]
