Robbie Williams terrified of fatherhood

Robbie Williams admits there were times he wanted to 'run off' when his wife got pregnant.

The British singer and his spouse Ayda Field welcomed a daughter, Theodora Rose, into the world in September. Although 38-year-old Robbie is smitten with the new arrival, he was terrified about the prospect of fatherhood.

'I know it's very natural to keep saying, 'It's a miracle, she's a f**king miracle,' but she is.

'When Ayda was first pregnant we'd have a week of me saying, 'I didn't want this. You f**king wanted this.' But that was me just being scared,' he told British newspaper The Sun. 'There have been times when I've wanted to run off. I will admit that. I start to think, 'I'm not old enough for this and I'm still a kid myself,' but I work it out.

'I don't think Ayda understands my worries sometimes. I told her I needed to change a few nappies to get my anxiety levels down.'

Robbie discusses his responsibilities as a father on his new track Be A Boy, from his latest album Take the Crown.

The singer realises there is a lot of pressure on him to succeed with this record after his last three offerings - Intensive Care, Rudebox and Reality Killed the Video Star ' failed to impress.

Robbie admits the criticism of his music contributed to his decision to reunite with his Take That bandmates in 2010 for an album and tour.

'When you have everyone telling you your album doesn't have a first single, it shoots at your confidence. So I thought, 'F**k you - if you don't think I can write a single then I'm going to rejoin Take That.' And I did,' he explained. 'I get what my purpose is and what I want to do. I want to write big pop hits, sing in stadiums and have people smile and rejoice again.'

Robbie has battled drug and alcohol demons, but is now sober and happily settled with a family. However, he admits his addictive personality means he is always looking for something to take to the extreme.

'Everything I like is addictive, destructive or corrosive. Addiction to danger is no stranger to me, it's fashion,' he confessed. 'I think having a baby has sorted an awful lot of stuff out.

'Success is addictive and I believe that I've got the album to feed my addiction for 18 months.'

Nicki Minaj explains Scary Spice accent

Nicki Minaj says her English accent is a mixture of "Scary Spice" and "Hermione from Harry Potter".

The Trinidadian-born rapper enjoys pretending to be from the UK at times. She has worked hard to perfect her tone and turned to a variety of celebrities for inspiration, including Mel B and Emma Watson.

"There are so many [I model it on], but one person was Scary Spice. I used to listen to her all the time and try to make the same faces she'd make when she was talking. [Hams it up even further] Oh I don't know... [Back into Nicki voice] Oh, and Hermione from Harry Potter!" she laughed to British newspaper The Guardian.

Nicki opened up about other areas of her life, including what she finds terrifying. She has a long-held fear of heights which she blames on a harrowing experience when she was growing up.

"When I was younger, in Trinidad, one of my cousins was really tall and he would pick me up then throw me in the air. I was so scared. I remember thinking, 'I'm a young kid, I'm going to die, why is everyone laughing?' I was three years old," she said.

The star released her first album Pink Friday in 2010 and is getting used to the polarising response her music has. People have been rude to her on Twitter in the past and while she used to react badly, she now doesn't let it get to her.

Nicki worries some up-and-coming stars don't have a true idea of what the business is like.

"It gets tough. I just tell people: don't even come in the business if you think it's going to be peaches and rainbows and unicorns. It's not for the faint of heart. It's for fighters," she warned.

One Direction 'like puppies'

One Direction are like a "box of puppies at Christmas".

The British boyband were described as being similar to newborn dogs by model-and-TV presenter Alexa Chung.

Alexa joked that what they lack in music credibility, the boys make up for with their dress sense and charm.

"They're no Beatles, obviously, but it's nice to see a boyband dress well for a change," Alexa mused to the December edition of British Vogue. "They remind me of a box of puppies at Christmas - each one more adorable than the next."

The former MTV presenter has been friends with Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan since they first found fame.

The cheeky youngsters were put together by music mogul Simon Cowell two years ago, and have since gone on to enjoy worldwide success.

They have become equally as famous for their good looks as they are for their hit pop songs.

However 28-year-old Burberry model Alexa is adamant she doesn't find the One Direction boys attractive.

The teen heartthrobs starred in their first Vogue photo shoot with 21-year-old female model Edie Campbell.

Edie mirrored Alexa's sentiments about the group and explained how unlike most of the world's teenage girls she didn't fall for the charms of One Direction either.

"They're just children," Edie explained to the magazine.

Kylie Minogue: I'd fly out of cannon

Kylie Minogue has joked she could be 'fired out of a cannon' on her next tour.

The Australian singer is celebrating 25 years in the music industry and has paid tribute to her career with new album The Abbey Road Sessions. The record features a collection of reworked versions of her classic songs including Can't Get You Out Of My Head and I Should Be So Lucky.

Kylie is known for her spectacular stage shows and she can't wait to thrill fans with future live performances.

"The big tour should be a big tour. That's what I've set myself up as. And I don't know. [I] could be fired out of a cannon across the stage Gonzo style from The Muppets. I don't know. I've already done some crazy things,' she told Yahoo! omg. "That's a challenge I'll look forward to.'

The 44-year-old star shows no signs of slowing down and still feels passionate about music.

Kylie has laughed that she may end up celebrating 50 years in the business if fans are still supporting her.

"With my zimmer frame. My bedazzled zimmer frame!.' she joked when asked if she will still be performing in another 25 years. "In many ways I feel like I'm just starting to know what I'm doing. I have joked about retiring but really, if I just look at the last year, if I'd stepped away I'd have missed out on acting in Holy Motors, the Anti-Tour in response to Aphrodite. releasing Abbey Road Sessions.

"My inquisitive nature will probably not let me rest for some time to come. Whether there's going to be K50? I don't know if I'll last that long or if people's interest will last that long.'

R. Kelly: I'm being the real me

R. Kelly says his new album Black Panties marks a return to the "old R. Kelly".

The 45-year-old R&B star is currently promoting his latest musical offering via his US Singles Ladies tour.

The controversial artist has a reputation as a ladies' man and insists this is the image his fans love the best.

"[I'm] not out to prove anything, but just be R. Kelly," he told the Los Angeles Times. "I look at my music the way Steven Spielberg as a director looks at movies. He's not going to do the same movie over. Black Panties is going back to the old R. Kelly thing because a lot of fans missed that. And I've missed it."

The singer says giving his audience what they want drives him. He is determined to offer them an insight into his true character through his music.

"I never wanted to just have a musical connection with my fans. I wanted to have a spiritual connection with them as well," he continued. "To have that, you have to be true to what you're doing."

During his 20-year career, R. Kelly has sold more than 38 million albums and had numerous number one singles.

He has also penned tracks for the likes of Michael Jackson and Britney Spears.

The gifted musician revealed how his talent is both a blessing and a curse.

"My problem is not writing the songs. My problem is I hear so many songs at once," he said. "It's a beautiful disease, I'm glad I have it. But it can be overwhelming. And it can become a curse."

Alice Cooper: I was mistaken for Pacino

Alice Cooper once had a four-hour conversation with a man who thought he was Al Pacino.

The 64-year-old American rocker shared the hilarious mix-up in an interview with Q magazine and admitted he was too kind to correct him.

The musician is known for his long dark hair, remarkable nose and piercing blue eyes framed with black make-up - but his off-duty look left him mistaken for the legendary actor.

'I flew from Phoenix to New York sitting next to a guy once. I had a little snap-brim hat on and my hair tied back. We talked for four hours and when we got off the plane he says, 'Excuse me. I really need to get an autograph, Mr Pacino.' So I signed 'Al Pacino' because I didn't want to disappoint him." he said.

Cooper added that Pacino isn't his only famous lookalike.

He explained that people often think he is legendary Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood.

"I get mistaken for Ronnie Wood, because of the nose, I think,' he said.

Steven Tyler: We''re sorcerers

Steven Tyler says Aerosmith are like "modern-day sorcerers".

The rocker claims special things happen when the five members of the band get together.

Steven, who left his role as judge on American Idol after last season to return to his band mates, gushed about his musical skills on the Today show this morning.

"It''s interesting how... the music just smacks life right in the face," Steven explained on the American breakfast TV programme. "When we get together and write, we''re like modern-day sorcerers."

While Aerosmith''s music seems to be going well at the moment, Steven put on a less convincing display of his own mental state.

The rock frontman managed to make two slip ups during the early morning broadcast.

Not only did Steven utter the F-word on live television, but he forgot which show he was on.

While the Today show host Al Roker was giving a weather update, Steven screamed in the background to the crowd, "Thanks for coming out, you crazy f**ks!"

Luckily Steven managed to pull it back together to give a sound performance with his band.

The five-piece have been together for over 40 years.

Their new record Music From Another Dimension! will be their 15th album release to date.

Khloe Kardashian blames 'nipplegate' on hurricane

Khloe Kardashian blames her wardrobe malfunction on Wednesday night's episode of The X Factor on Hurricane Sandy.

The 28-year-old reality television star kicked off her hosting duties this week on the US show.

But Khloe was left red-faced when she went braless in a blouse she didn't realise was sheer.

"I had no idea, with my dressing room lights you didn''t see a thing,' she told reporters backstage.

'I see Simon [Cowell] sort of doing something like this [points to her chest]. then I hear in my ear, ''We''ve got to fix your shirt.'' I didn''t know what they were talking about and I heard, ''Full areola is out,''" she recalled.

The incident quickly became known as 'nipplegate'.

But Khloe says this mishap was down to her wardrobe getting stuck on the other side of the country while she filmed in Los Angeles.

'We moved the show up because of the hurricane, so my stuff that was being sent was stuck on the East Coast," Khloe said. "That top [arrived] first thing."

The star was finally able to cover up between breaks.

Britney Spears' dad: Justice was served

Britney Spears' father Jamie is 'relieved' that the case filed against his family by Sam Lufti was dismissed.

The pop star's former manager Sam sued Britney and her parents for defamation and breach of contract.

On Thursday after six days of testimony, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Suzanne Bruguera found that Sam simply had no argument and threw out his case.

Jamie is glad that the drama has come to an end.

"I'm just so relieved that this is over with. That our family can finally put this behind us and move forward,' he told Entertainment Tonight.

'I am so proud of each lawyer that represented our family in this. They were so prepared. They were ready. They stood behind us and I'm just so proud of each one of them that handled each one of these cases.

'I'm also very proud of and also very thankful for the judicial system and the judge. It took her a lot of patience and took a lot of time to listen to all that was said and I want to thank her so much for the decision that she made and she made it upon the evidence and she made it upon the law and I believe justice was served."

Sam claimed that Britney owed him wages and that her father Jamie punched him. He also alleged that Britney's mother Lynne slandered him in her 2008 book and that his professional relationship deteriorated due to her abuse of prescription amphetamine Adderall.

Apparently Sam is planning to appeal Judge Bruguera's decision to dismiss.

Simon Cowell's X Factor 'a circus freak show'

Simon Cowell is afraid that the British version of X Factor lacks 'real credibility.'

The music mogul's TV talent show is struggling currently.

Apparently Simon is desperate to spark interest in the programme.

He is considering asking original judges Louis Walsh, Dannii Minogue and Sharon Osbourne to return.

'The first three series relied solely on genuine British talent and a chemistry between the judges that simply hasn't been there since Sharon left,' a source told British newspaper The Sun.

'By series three they had produced an international star with Leona Lewis and the show had real credibility.

'Now it's just a circus freak show with the ringmaster trying to pull the strings on the other side of the Atlantic.'

The show's next season is the final year of X Factor's contract with network ITV1.

Simon believes that going back to the beginning will inject the show with the energy it needs to succeed.

'If Simon can get the original judges and format back he will truly have pulled victory from the jaws of defeat,' the insider said.

Eli Roth treats RZA to mom's mushroom soup

Eli Roth brought Wu Tang rapper RZA to his parents' house for some dinner.

The pair worked together on RZA's directorial debut The Man with the Iron Fists, which opened this weekend.

The idea for the film came about organically.

'Yeah, I think it was a snowstorm that brought this movie into existence,' Eli recalled to Ain't It Cool News.

'Actually it was my mother''s mushroom soup. We were snowed in in Boston, and we thought we''d be stuck at the airport for hours, even overnight. So I said, 'My parents live in Boston. Let''s just go to my parents'' house.' So we got in a cab in the snowstorm, and went to my parents house, and my mom had dinner ready.

'So she had mushroom soup, angel hair pasta, and my dad had a nice bottle of wine. It was great. And I said, 'RZA, my dad was from Brownsville.' Brownsville is a very rough part of Brooklyn, and it turns out that RZA and my dad grew up blocks from each other. Different generations, obviously, but both had made it out, and knew how difficult that was. So there was this instant respect between the two of them.'

Bon Jovi to headline hurricane concert

Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen are headlining a concert for the victims of Hurricane Sandy tomorrow.

'There is no power, water, the devastation is off the charts. The president is in my hometown in New Jersey because of the damage. It's like Armageddon,' Jon said.

One Direction ordered onto strict fitness regime

One Direction is set to get even fitter because their music exec bosses have put them on a special fitness programme ahead of their world tour.

The boys will be hitting the road for eight months next year but recent injuries have caused concern.

Niall Horan has dislocated his knee an astonishing 14 times and Zayn Malik has just come off crutches after hurting himself while out partying.

Meanwhile, Harry Styles has a bad back and Liam Payne had a mishap with a computer while in America a few months ago.

'We're concerned about them,' a source told Britain's Mirror newspaper. 'And Liam is still healing after he broke his toe when a MacBook fell on it this summer in the U.S.'

'He never got to rest it as they have been touring and doing promotional work.

'Zayn and Niall have both been on crutches so now they're all on hardcore fitness regimes.'

Carrie Underwood makes fun of Taylor Swift at CMAs

Carrie Underwood had fun at the expense of Taylor Swift at Thursday night's Country Music Association Awards.

The American Idol winner and country music phenomenon teamed up with Brad Paisley to host the prestigious music event in Nashville.

Taylor is riding high in the charts with her hit, We're Never Ever Getting Back Together, but had a recent low with the split from boyfriend Conor Kennedy.

'Brad and I were backstage talking about what a strange year this has been,' Carrie said during the opening monologue.

'Just look at sports, I can't keep track of all these trades,' Brad said noting that Tim Tebow is now playing for the New York Jets.

'The greatest trade of the year had to be the Kennedy family, they somehow traded Arnold Schwarzenegger for Taylor Swift. I mean what they got for that.'

But Carrie stopped him mid-sentence and whispered in his ear about Taylor splitting from her summer fling.

'What? Why don't I ever hear about these things?' Brad lamented. 'I'm the last one to know.'

'Are they ever gonna get back together?'

The disgruntled former employee sued Britney and her parents for defamation and breach of contract.

After six days of testimony, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Suzanne Bruguera found that Sam simply had no case, People magazine confirms.

"I really thought long and hard about this," Judge Bruguera said in court.

"[Dismissing this case], it's the right thing to do."

Sam claimed that Britney owed him wages and that her father Jamie punched him. He also alleged that Britney's mother Lynne slandered him in her 2008 book and that his professional relationship deteriorated due to her abuse of prescription amphetamine Adderall.

Apparently Sam was overheard saying, 'I'm going to appeal,' as he was leaving the courtroom.

Britney, her family and the star's legal team are 'delighted' with the result.

The first live show of US the X Factor, the TV talent programme that Britney serves as a panelist on, airs Thursday.

Demi Lovato angry on X Factor

Demi Lovato 'was pissed' to learn that an X Factor choreographer Brian Friedman altered her acts' performances.

The US TV talent show's first live programme aired Thursday.

Demi had been working with her acts CeCe and Willie Jones extensively for over a week on their performances.

Brian reportedly changed CeCe and Willie's presentation at the last minute and Demi wasn't happy about that at all.

"Demi was pissed and told the producers this wasn''t what she''s planned and she was not putting her name to it," a source told Radar Online.

"The acts and dancers were all rushed out of the studio to make the changes 10 minutes before the show started.

"Demi had worked hard and spent all week planning performances and styling for her contestants, so to say she was unimpressed that Brian had changed things is an understatement.

"She insisted everything be changed back to what she''d planned. She''s told them all no one is to change anything on her acts ever again. She''ll be signing absolutely everything off."

According to TMZ, two performers and a handful of crewmembers fell ill after eating bad tuna and Emblem3's Drew was rushed to hospital ahead of the live show.

Kiss confirmed this week what has been rumoured for a while, with the announcement of The Casablanca Singles 1974-1982, a limited edition box set consisting of the band's 29 singles on legendary Casablanca label, to be released in December.

The band was first signed to the late Neil Bogart's newly formed Casablanca Records label after he saw and recognized their talent and showmanship during their spectacular performance at a showcase concert at New York City's Le Tang's Ballet Studio in 1973, offering them a contract on the spot.

Celebrating their 40th anniversary this year, Kiss have broken box-office records set by The Beatles and Elvis and have more than 28 U.S. gold albums, 40 million sales in the U.S. and a total exceeding 100 million worldwide.

In their early years, Kiss released a total of 29 singles on seven-inch 45 RPM records for the Casablanca label. These were available for sale to the public, used for commercial radio airplay and to promote album sales. Many of these singles had entirely different mixes, edits and material that didn't appear on their vinyl albums.

The singles will be released in two box set configurations entitled The Casablanca Singles 1974-1982, on Dec. 4. The set of 29 CDs will be available through all retail outlets. Vinyl fans can order the limited edition set of 29 seven-inch vinyl records through Universal's website.

'Even I haven't heard some of this stuff, but this is all part of our master plan to celebrate Kiss at this milestone in our careers,' says Gene Simmons. 'This box set represents us at the very beginning of our career, and documents the band's early success and subsequent growth.'

The special set comes out after the release of Monster, their 20th studio album, last month.

Ice Cube: Presidential Election is circus

Ice Cube is taking a 'political leap' with his new record Everythang's Corrupt.

The Californian rap legend released the music video for his eponymous single Thursday, just days before the November 6 US presidential election.

Cube has no qualms about jumping into a diplomatic debate about the future of his country.

"To me, it's kinda more a political leap than a first single. The timing is right," he told MTV News.

"To me I just feel like the hip-hop heads that are political will really like this record."

Cube is disturbed by presidential campaigns around election time.

He believes that running for office is farcical in many ways.

"It's really the same feeling you get almost every election cycle. It's a money game and nobody really cares, everybody just want to win," Cube explained.

"Ain't nobody want to fix the problems. It just seems like it's a whole circus and façade for money and control of a lot of money."

Despite his thoughts on Election Day, Cube urges people to reach the ballot box next week.

The star doesn't think people should regret their choice.

'I think you should vote when you got a clear cut understanding of what you're doing," Cube said. "Whether you like it or not, if they vote some s**t in [that] you don't like, you're gonna have to bow down to it."

Nicki Minaj: Hurricane Sandy is heartbreaking

Nicki Minaj 'didn't get sleep' the night Hurricane Sandy hit New York City.

The pop star was in London when the category one storm with 95 mile-per-hour winds hit her hometown.

Hurricane Sandy left millions of people across the east coast of the US without power, devastated the eastern seaboard and took the lives of over 50 people.

Nicki was absolutely beside herself with worry, as she was afraid of what the natural disaster would leave in its wake.

"It''s the craziest thing because the night before my London show I was so excited about it I didn''t get sleep,' she told USA Today.

'I was texting my mom and brother and I was so worried. All of my family and friends are out there. I couldn''t believe the storm was hitting so close to home.

'I thank God they''re alive. We didn''t have a lot of fatalities and things weren''t as bad as they could have been. My heart goes out to people who lost homes, power, lives. It''s really been heavy on my heart."

Nicki will debut her new three-part reality series Nicki Minaj: My Truth on E! this weekend.

Lopez's beau 'signed confidentiality agreement'

Jennifer Lopez's boyfriend Casper Smart is legally bound to be silent about their relationship.

The 43-year-old superstar and the 25-year-old backup dancer began dating a few months after Jennifer separated from her third husband Marc Anthony in July 2011.

Jennifer, who is still contending with legal battles from her yearlong marriage to ex-spouse Ojani Noa, is not at all interested in getting litigious with lovers again.

The star is not naïve about where things could lead should her romance with Casper become embittered.

"Casper signed a non-disclosure/confidentiality agreement when he began working for Jennifer Lopez, as she requires all of her employees to do,' a source told Radar Online.

"Jen has been around long enough to know that anyone she dates could possibly turn on her and choose to go to the press if the relationship sours. Casper had absolutely no qualms about signing the agreement, and has told Jen on multiple occasions that even if he didn''t work for her, he would have signed the contract. Jen loves him even more for that."

Kim Kardashian 'dressed for birthday proposal'

Kim Kardashian reportedly dressed in white during her birthday weekend as she was so sure Kanye West would propose.

The rapper whisked his girlfriend of less than a year away to Venice to celebrate her turning 32 last month. There was speculation he was planning to pop the question, with even Ryan Seacrest ' who is behind Kim's reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians ' claiming it was likely.

Kim was spotted enjoying a romantic stroll with Kanye, dressed in a white lace dress which was reminiscent of a wedding gown. He then presented her with a single red rose, which is reportedly not what she thought would happen.

'Kim was sure that Kanye would propose and he didn't. She was so disappointed when the weekend ended without an engagement. She couldn't hide it. Not only had she told her friends and family that she was expecting the proposal, she'd even picked out that white outfit especially as she was so sure about it,' an insider told Heat magazine.

Days later Kim was spotted wearing a giant sparkly ring on her little finger. There were claims it was an engagement band, which were quickly dismissed.

Kim is in the process of divorcing Kris Humphries, who she split from just 72 days after they wed last year. It's thought this is part of the reason Kanye is yet to get down on one knee.

'There's no doubt that Kanye loves her, but he feels uneasy about the fact that Kim is still going through her divorce. It's painful for Kim, too ' she is desperate to move on with Kanye,' the source explained.

Christina Aguilera is liberal mom

Christina Aguilera lets her son 'do everything'.

The singer takes a liberal approach when it comes to parenting four-year-old Max, her son with ex-husband Jordan Bratman.

The blonde bombshell explained that she certainly doesn't believe in having separate toys and fancy dress outfits for boys and girls.

And with a bulging wardrobe full of extravagant stage costumes, Christina doesn't mind her son playing with different looks.

'Max is obsessed with zombies, trucks and video games at the moment! But sometimes he wants to try on one of my dresses. I let him do everything,' she told the German edition of OK! magazine.

Christina added that she lets her son make his own decisions when it comes to his appearance too.

A style chameleon and lover of rainbow hair dye herself, the Your Body star insisted she wouldn't mind if her offspring followed in her footsteps.

'If Max wants to dye his hair blue tomorrow, he could do it," she said.

Rita Ora: I'm afraid to fail

Rita Ora is "scared of failure".

The 21-year-old star has had huge success with her music career.

Despite having a string of hits under her belt, the pop singer still worries she isn't good enough.

"I'm scared of a lot of things," Rita revealed to the British edition of Vogue magazine. "I'm most scared of failing, of disappointing people. That's it."

Rita, who is mentored by Jay-Z - manages to mask her insecurities with her confident public persona. But she admitted she flies into a panic if things don't go according to her career plan.

"Something's always gotta happen! You know when you've wanted something for so long?" Rita nervously said.

"You want it so much that it's not possible for it not to happen in your mind? But when it does happen you're not prepared for the actual experience."

The internationally recognised singer is still getting used to fame. She struggles to comprehend the reaction she gets from audiences at her sell-out performances.

"All these girls were coming up to me with tattoos of my name on their arm. Girls with blonde hair and red lips," Rita explained. "I couldn't believe the effect I'd had!"

Rihanna sets tough song deadline

Rihanna asked a producer to create a song for her in two days.

The pop star approached Calvin Harris to work on her new album.

The 28-year-old was unable to create the track due to the unrealistic deadline he was given.

"Rihanna has been recording the new album and she said to me, 'You have to do something for it,' and so I sat there and said, 'OK I need to do this,'" Calvin revealed to BBC Radio One. "I sat in the studio and thought, 'OK I've got two days to do this.' Two days to make one of the best records I'll probably ever make in my life."

Calvin previously collaborated with Rihanna on the hit song We Found Love. Despite having experience in dealing with the international mega star, Calvin froze under such strict deadlines.

"So obviously I didn't do anything..." Calvin admitted. "Off the record I did make a pretty decent tune, but you can't work under that kind of pressure. Anyway I can't just go into a studio and go right at it like that."

Calvin's new album 18 Months was released last week.

It features his collaboration with Rihanna along with tracks he has produced with stars such as Ellie Goulding and Dizzee Rascal over the past 18 months.

Meanwhile, Rihanna has recently announced that she will be heading on a brand new worldwide tour this month.

Her 777 tour will see the singer head to seven different countries across one week to promote her new album Unapologetic.
