On the radio and now in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

When I interviewed Donna Summer last year, she had just been passed over again for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I asked if it was, as is so often said, just an honor to be nominated.

"No, it's an honor to win," she said with a laugh. "That's a bunch of baloney. I don't care about the honor of being nominated, honor me and let me win! After about the third time, stop nominating me, I'm starting to feel like a loser." Summer, a Boston native, continued to laugh a robust laugh and added "I'm just kidding. It is an honor to be nominated, seriously."

When the inductees for the 2013 Rock Hall class were announced yesterday I was excited that Summer's name was finally on the roster. I was also sad-- and to be honest a little angry-- that she was not here to experience the moment, having passed away earlier this year at 63 after a battle with cancer. Even though she clearly understood that no one is entitled to any particular honor and had a sense of humor about it, the induction obviously meant a lot to her.

J. Lo doesn't play around when it comes to a party.

Jennifer Lopez goes hard with the color, dance moves, and Photoshop-worthy abs for "Goin' In," her video from her newly-released greatest hits album "Dance Again ... The Hits."

Madonna proves she can turn any locale into a party in her latest video, "Turn Up the Radio." The clip, which was filmed in Italy, features the pop queen escaping hordes of paparazzi and then picking up a motley cast of colorful characters - from street contortionists to streetwalkers - for a chauffeured joyride into the countryside (the dapper hitchhiker in the gray suit is her current beau, Brahim Zaibat).

What do you think about the video? Let us know!

M.I.A. has switched up her speaker-rattling single "Bad Girls" in recent days with not just one but two remixes featuring some of hip-hop's most fiery females. Days after dropping a woozy revamp with her spunky protégée Rye Rye and game-changing femcee Missy Elliott, she swapped out Rye for rising raptress Azealia Banks.
