When it was announced a few weeks ago that actor James Franco and actress Anne Hathaway would be hosting the 83rd Annual Academy Awards together, some people were left wondering, “Huh?!” But after some careful consideration about the young and celebrated stars (those very clever Oscar promo ads and that NSFW “Funny Or Die” clip with Judd Apatow probably helped too) it seems the consensus has changed from confused to excited.

Since you can count Hollywood Crush amongst those stoked to see how James (who will be serving double duty on Sunday as co-emcee and a Best Actor nominee for his amazing performance in “127 Hours“) and Anne (who earned a Golden Globe nomination for her work in 2010′s sexy dramedy “Love and Other Drugs“) tackle the prestigious gig, we wanted to give any lingering naysayers five reasons why this unconventional pairing will make for a memorable Oscars.

The year 2011 is full of tours from a whole bunch of artists and Ke$ha is one of them. She says her Get $leazy tour will be “a ridiculously fun dance party.” Her tour will start in February in Portland, Ore.

Ke$ha says this will “be surprising because I’m going to show people a few more aspects of my musicianship and personality that you might not be expecting. I play a lot of instruments … and I can dance and I can really, really sing, so I’m going to be doing all that and, meanwhile, covering everybody in glitter.”

Nothing can stop Lady Gaga from going towards her dreams and goals and her new one is to make $100 million in 2011.  Last year, she was the seventh-highest paid musician in the world, making $1 million less than Jay-Z.

How did she pull this off? She did a 138-stop tour last year with ticket prices a little more expensive than most artists. Her last album “The Fame” sold over 12 million copies and her new album, being released in May “Born This Way” is expected to make more then that.
