The gods of platinum blonde smiled upon the massive iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas Friday night when opening group No Doubt (No Doubt an opener? Really?) brought on a fellow superstar surprise guest: P!nk! The crowd went wild as the awesomely coiffed singer and fellow mom emerged from backstage.

When Miranda Lambert rolls into Las Vegas to play the iHeartRadio music festival, she'll definitely be all warmed up and ready to go. The country superstar has been busy on the road with her own solo headlining tour--and just jumped into touring this month with her other musical project, "Hell On Heels" girl-trio the Pistol Annies.

It's a good thing she's keeping her muscles warm, because the remainder of 2012 in general isn't slowing down one bit for Lambert. She's nominated for four trophies at the Country Music Association Awards in November, she's got a TV series in the works, she's working on new music for both herself and the Annies--and, of course, she's got to keep up with fellow celeb husband Blake Shelton's doings on the hit reality show The Voice. One definitely has to be the "Fastest Girl In Town" to keep up with all of that! However, Lambert managed a few minutes to catch up with Yahoo! Music about everything she's juggling at the moment.

LAMBERT: You know what, we're just going to do what we've been doing. We've been touring all year since January, we're winding down, and it was an amazing tour. So I think we're just going to bring what we've been doing! It's worked all year and it's been awesome. And I've got the Pistol Annies coming out, so that's a special extra little something that people get from us. I'll do my set and then have the girls come out and do two songs, and we're gonna do what we do and move on.

Multiplatinum rockers Bon Jovi are gearing up to play the iHeartRadio music festival in Las Vegas this month, but that's not all the guys in the band have been up to lately. In addition to working on music for their next album (release date to be announced), they've also been helping some of their buddies hammer out new tunes as well. In fact, they assisted one particular duo in a way that even the most hardcore of fans would not be able to expect!

How's that? Well, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora are friends with Nashville upstarts Big & Rich (yup, Rich as in John Rich, who won Celebrity Apprentice last year). Having worked with the pair a few years ago on a songwriting project, B&R's Big Kenny called up JBJ and Sambora to see if they'd like to help out on Big & Rich's upcoming album, which will be released September 18.

Kenny told Detroit's 99.5 WYCD that the Bon Jovi guys were "incredibly excited" to collaborate, and that they all met up in New York to get to work. While hard at work recording, Jon Bon Jovi made a comment that would prove to be integral to the project.

Sounds like a joke--but it ended up being the title of Big & Rich's album. However, the title almost never came to be. Big & Rich's record label vetoed the idea, since famed Star Wars director George Lucas owns the rights to the term "jedi" and it was doubtful he'd grant permission for its use.

When Big Kenny broke this disappointing news to Jon Bon Jovi--the star didn't even skip a beat. He whipped out his phone and called Lucas, himself, right then and there. Unbelievable? Well, Lucas apparently couldn't resist JBJ's charms--Big & Rich's new album is now formally titled Hillbilly Jedi.

Linkin ParkLinkin Park has been getting huge media attention for the band's latest video, "Lost in the Echo," which is being described as a breakthrough in interactivity. Contrary to some previous interactive music videos, where you had to take the initiative of uploading imagery to become part of the clip, this "personalized film experience" does all the work for you, as long as you allow it to connect to your Facebook account and borrow imagery from what you have stockpiled there.

Of course, when Linkin Park plays the iHeartRadio Festival—a multi-superstar show in Las Vegas that will be streamed live over Yahoo!—home viewers won't have to worry about seeing themselves in the footage, unless it's in the reflective glare of the laptop or smartphone screen. For those of us who'd rather see prettier and/or more talented people than ourselves on-screen, this may be cause for a sigh of relief.
