Jordin Sparks: Wango Tango 2011 Arrival!

Jordin Sparks is all smiles at KIIS FM’s Wango Tango 2011 at Staples Center on Saturday (May 14) in Los Angeles.

The 21-year-old singer wore an orange Joie dress and chatted with JustJared.com about her new album before enjoying the show.

“I’m still working on it,” Jordin told JJ. “These past six months I’ve just really been trying to figure out what I want to give to my fans. I want it to be something that they can chew on and digest, something new, and not what I’ve put out before but not so farfetched either.

On her new single “I Am Woman“: “When Ryan Tedder brought it to me, my mouth dropped to the floor and I was so excited about it. Me and him are both perfectionist so we had seven different mixes of the song before we got to the final version that is out now. We got it perfect and I’m really excited about it.”

FYI: Jordin designed two bags for 1154 LILL Studio. From now until May 31, $10 will be donated to The M.A.D. Girls Foundation for every bag purchased!

Ke$ha Meets Britney Spears - Exclusive

Ke$ha meets fellow pop phenom Britney Spears for the first time outside the Just Jared lounge at 102.7 KIIS FM’s Wango Tango 2011 at Staples Center on Saturday (May 14) in Los Angeles.

Britney is a pop icon,” K$ told Just Jared after the encounter. “She is larger than life. But it’s great to see that even Brit is just a cool laid back southern girl.”

Ke$ha wrote “Till The World Ends” for Britney but they hadn’t met and hung out – until Wango Tango!

Other pictures include Ke$ha with her kickass mom, songwriter Pebe Sebert. (They worked on a number of K$ songs together including “Your Love Is My Drug,” “Cannibal,” “Crazy Beautiful Life,” and “We R Who We R.”)

FYI: Selena Gomez was also in the hallway when Britney emerged from her dressing room backstage. “Oh my god, Britney Spears just waved at me,” she said as she clutched her heart. Selena‘s friends were trying to convince her to go back and say hello but Sel was too starstruck!

Ke$ha: Wango Tango 2011 Performer!

Ke$ha arrives at KIIS FM’s Wango Tango 2011 at Staples Center on Saturday (May 14) in Los Angeles.

The 24-year-old pop phenom is a main performer at this year’s star studded concert and chatted with JustJared.com before taking the stage.

“This is my second Wango Tango,” Ke$ha she told JJ. “The first one I only had “Tik Tok” out but for this one, I’ve already had six singles out, so I think there is gonna be a lot more people singing along to my songs this time.”

JJ: Where do you see your music going?

K: People have been asking me that a lot recently and I’m not sure sonically what the sound will be. Lately I’ve been listening to only 70′s and early 80′s music from Iggy Pop, Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath. What I know for my next record is that I really just want to spread the message of being yourself. I want to make music that is really positive and makes people want to go crazy and really be themselves.
