Selena Gomez channeled another Disney darling during the Spring Breakers SXSW panel on Monday (March 11). After being asked to sing karaoke, Selena and fellow actress Ashley Benson busted out Britney Spears' hit, "... Baby, One More Time." And it looks like Brit loved the performance! "Awww @selenagomez can duet with me anytime," she tweeted. "PS- I heard @springbreakers is AAA_MAZING! Can't wait to see it!" You can check out the performance in the video below. [E! Online]

Besides being gifted with a personalized bike, Justin Bieber also received some designer swag! DJ Tay James tells HollywoodLife.com that when he celebrated the pop star's recent 19th birthday, it was the thought that counted. "I got him a nice little gift, he was happy," DJ Tay James says. "I got him something from Louis Vuitton ... with him it doesn't have to be nothing big or extravagant, he likes little stuff that's just subtle and nice." Um, isn't Louis Vuitton considered pretty fancy, DJ Tay? [Hollywood Life]

Have magazine readers had enough of Taylor Swift? Although the "22" singer recently graced the front of Vanity Fair and Elle, it looks like Tay is tanking on the newsstands! In 2012, the country crooner's covers for Cosmo, Glamour, and American Vogue all reportedly under-performed. Not everyone is concerned for the singer. "There may have been a little hiccup for her right around the 1D relationship," Glamour editor-in-chief Cindi Leive said. "But it's nothing a pro can't come back from. I'd put money on her for the long run." [Women's Wear Daily]

Despite provocative, burlesque-themed videos for "Don't Cha" and "Buttons," the Pussycat Dolls front woman Nicole Scherzinger says she sometimes wishes she were "more slutty." "I'd probably be a lot more successful if I were," Nicole tells The Independent. "This is such a tough industry, you know.To make it, you really have to sell your soul to the devil." The singer chalks her, er, clean image up to her religious, yet supportive family. [The Independent]

If Lady Gaga is going to be off her feet, she will be doing it in style! Mother Monster commissioned a 24 karat gold-plated wheelchair as her main mode of transportation while she recovers from hip surgery. The chair looks comfy, but why not just go with the egg, Gaga? [TooFab]

With just weeks to go until the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, the performers have been announced! According to a press release, Pitbull, Christina Aguilera, and Kesha will all sing during the March 23 show. "Can't wait to play the Kids' Choice Awards for the first time," said Pitbull. "Look forward for fans to also see the first performance of 'Feel This Moment' with Christina Aguilera. It's gonna be fun, DALE!!!"
