Which new song did Beyoncé add to her Mrs. Carter World Tour set list this weekend? Why did Coldplay spend almost $7 million on wristbands? What was the biggest story at New York's Jingle Ball?

Miley Cyrus posted a cheeky (but censored) photo on twitter where she flashed her nipples. However, she wasn't just posting it for kicks; she was applauding New York's "Free the Nipple" stance that allows women the equal right as men to public toplessness. [Billboard]

Beyoncé has started to add songs from her new album, Beyoncé, to her set list on the Mrs. Carter World Tour. On Friday night she debuted "XO," which is slated to be the second single off the album. [Rap-Up.com]

Tours are expensive, but Coldplay reportedly spent £4.22 million (or over $6.8 million) on wristbands that changed color in time with the music for their recent Mylo Xyloto tour. [NME]

The Z100 Jingle Ball in New York City was a star-studded event that included Lindsay Lohan partying on stage with Miley Cyrus, Anna Kendrick introducing Ariana Grande and killer performances from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Selena Gomez, Paramore and more. However, all the talk on the red carpet was about Beyoncé. [MTV News]
