It's been one of the worst-kept ''secrets'' in television and pop culture since their cover was blown on the streets of New York a couple month back, but NBC has made the ''official'' cast announcement for the latest installment of CELEBRITY APPRENTICE. As always, DONALD TRUMP will host a cast of 18 apprentice hopefuls from all corners of ''celebrity'' - though some questionable at best.

One of my favorite remixers/mashers/bootleggers has delivered a six-song set to close the books on the year that was. DJ LOBSTERDUST presents 2011 MASHED brings together NICKI MINAJ, BEASTIE BOYS, BON IVER, BRITNEY SPEARS, CHILDISH GAMBINO, and more. Check out the tracklisting and download details below the break.

LADY GAGA has made good on her promise of releasing a new song for Christmas. At midnight, Gaga released Stuck On Fuckin' You as a gift to all of her little monsters. Those expecting a polished dose of pop may be surprised by the lo-fi approach. ''I wrote it in Minnesota after the Monster Ball on the tour bus,'' stated Gaga about the track.  ''We recorded it in one shot. Fernando on guitar, Paul on Drum Machine. I wrote, sang it, and freestyled the last minute + a half of the song.'' Hear it below, right here on Kik Axe Music™.

If you thought that you'd already seen this one here on Kik Axe Music™, you're right - I featured it when the record was released this past October. But how could I not include JOHN ZORN's version of The Christmas Song in our 2nd Annual 25 Days of AXEmas? With vocals by MIKE PATTON of FAITH NO MORE, MR. BUNGLE, FANTOMAS, and many other great projects - this one comes in for Day 23.

In a handful of brand new behind-the-scenes clips, Scott Weiland sits down to share his inspiration behind his Christmas album The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (read the Kik Axe Music™ review here), as well as the techniques behind the making of the video for Winter Wonderland.

Pop songstress JOJO has given a pop spin to The Christmas Song, the holiday classic most-associated with the late Nat King Cole.  ''I wanted to give this to you guys because I'm so grateful for your support,''  says JoJo in a special video message with the song, which is streaming below, right here on Kik Axe Music.™ The song premiered earlier today on That Grape Juice, an apparently popular website that I've somehow never surfed into before.

Los Angeles psych-pop artist Red Eye Fugu has released a new video for the track Prophecies (I Don't Mind) from his latest album Watchers. The video, written and directed by Jhovany Quiroz, takes us through a racy narrative of a young couple played by Leila Perry and Agostino Bommarito.

KE$HA has just slipped a new track onto iTunes with a sleazy remix. Sleazy Remix 2.0 features appearances by LIL WAYNE, WIZ KHALIFA, T.I., and ANDRE 3000. Packed with southern flavor, this track is hot and slippery.
