"After listening to Will [i.am] talk about how many people come to his concerts, I've decided to go into another business. It's a little disheartening when they tell me, 'You're hitting them in Palm Springs, Foxx!' And then you hear the (Black Eyed) Peas just sold out three stadiums in France in an hour. I've got to rethink my whole existence." -- Jamie Foxx

Jamie Foxx explains why he's reconsidering his path in life, after witnessing the success of Will.i.am and the Black Eyed Peas.

Is Justin Bieber Poised to Be the Next King of Pop?

Boasting a music career that spanned more than 45 years, Michael Jackson was one of the top-selling artists of all time (right behind Elvis Presley and the leaders of the pack, the Beatles). Jackson inspired a generation with his voice, dazzling dance moves and trademark white socks and glitter gloves -- a look his legion of admirers copied time and again. "MJ is still -- and always will be -- the king of pop," proclaimed Justin Bieber on Twitter recently, yet the 17-year-old Usher protege is often compared to the late icon.

It's with good reason that some speculate that the 'Baby' singer would be next to rule the pop charts for the foreseeable future. He's broken his fair share of records -- his film 'Never Say Never' trumped Jackson's 'This Is It' in the box office -- at an startlingly young age, not to mention, like MJ, he made his mark on the style frontier (who hasn't talked about that enviable shaggy-haired 'do?). But is that all it takes? Is the Canadian singer destined to be crowned the next King of Pop one day? Only time will tell. In the meantime, we've investigated some of the commonalities between the two mega-stars to shed some light on the matter. Read arguments for each and vote in our poll below!

"We could go skinny dipping. We could have a party, and it would be a dress-up-like-Ke$ha-or-Britney party. Either her place or my place, it doesn't matter. I have a small, salt-water pool that has laser beams in it and a stereo, so you can be under water listening to music. It's really magical." -- Ke$ha

Ke$ha, who recently revealed her awkward dreams about Lady Gaga, admits to People that she'd love to go skinny dipping with 'Femme Fatale' Britney Spears.

Britney Spears Previews 'Till the World Ends' Video

Britney Spears has leaked a 30-second preview of her upcoming video for 'Till the World Ends.'

The second single from her seventh studio album, 'Femme Fatale,' the video's 'Mad-Max' likeness surrounds Spears dancing with her entourage for one last last hoorah -- before the world ends. The apocalyptic setting for the video was created by Norwegian director Ray Kay, who has already worked with Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and Beyonce.

In an interview for MTV's behind-the-scenes special on Spears, 'I Am The Femme Fatale,' the singer said that the video was not the most comfortable to shoot and was filmed in a "grimy and gross" warehouse. Despite Kay's less-than-pleasant conditions, Spears remained a trooper. "I feel like I've done so many videos, I'm at the point I want to enjoy myself," she said.

Britney Spears will premiere two videos for her second 'Femme Fatale,' single 'Till The World Ends' on Wednesday.

The video, directed by Ray Kay, who worked on Willow Smith's 'Whip My Hair,' Justin Bieber's 'Baby' and Lady Gaga's 'Poker Face,' will have a choreography version featuring all of Britney's dance moves and an extended director's cut. The longer version will feature a more apocalyptic storyline.

The song, co-written by Kesha, is Spears' second single off of her latest -- and seventh -- album 'Femme Fatale,' produced by Max Martin and Dr. Luke. Her first single 'Hold it Against Me' broke records upon its release. The track had the highest number of US radio plays in one day and debuted at No. 1 in 20 countries.
