Chris Brown recently took the stage with Justin Bieber during the Biebs' tour stop in Australia, where they performed "Up," and now the two will begin work on a video for Brown's F.A.M.E. track "Next 2 You."

Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, confirmed the video plans on Twitter. "NP- #Next2You w/ @justinbieber and @chrisbrown - video treatment is crazy ... yeah it's coming!!" he wrote.

With little known about what these two have in store for fans, MTV News spoke to Brown in March about working with the teen star on the track. "Being able to collab with [Bieber] was great," Brown said. "He's a young, energetic cat, so being able to work with him, with the fanbase he has, was incredible. I know a lot of little girls are going to love this record.

"I wouldn't say [he's] my protégé. He's doing his thing at a young age, and I was doing mine at a young age, so being able to see him come up is dope."

The midtempo ballad is about the power of love and making the pledge to spend your life with that special someone. The chorus says, "One day when the sky is fallin'/ I'll be standing right next to you, right next to you/ Nothing will ever come between us/ 'Cause I'll be standing right next to you, right next to you."

While it's a feel-good track, Brown joked that when recording the song, he missed his chance to hit the studio with Bieber. "I actually stood him up on accident," Brown recalled. "He was kind of mad ... I was all the way on the other side of town handling some business, 'girl business,' and I was rushing back, and by that time, he's like, 'Man, I'm leaving, bro. I did it — just check it out.' And I looked at it and listened to it and I was like, 'Man, this is crazy.' ... He's a great kid."

She?s never been one for a traditional way of thinking, and Cameron Diaz feels like marriage is a dying institution. The ?Something About Mary? babe told Maxim magazine that she?s more a fan of doing things her own way. ?I think we have to make our own rules. I don?t think we should live our lives in relationships based off old traditions that don?t suit our world any longer.? ?I think a lot of people are married to people they?re not romantic with anymore. I just didn?t ever marry anybody that I then had to get divorced from. We break up. We move on.? [gallery=754]

Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory" is a pure pop track about the glory of love, but it seems that those warm, fuzzy feelings come from a very sad place for the pop star. Co-producer DJ White Shadow — who worked on the track with Gaga and Fernando Garibay — shared with MTV News the personal tragedy that sparked the Born This Way song.

"We had just all got back to Europe, after Lady Gaga had taken a break to spend time with her grandfather who was in the hospital, before he passed away. She explained to us that she had written a song about it," he said in an email. "As she often would, she came in with the melody and lyrics. She told us about what an impact the event had on her."

The song not only was poignant for the star, but also White Shadow, who felt really moved by Gaga's track. "We worked on it backstage, changing little things with the melody and lyrics; I don't remember what city to be honest. But I remember crying when I heard her sing it the first time," he recalled. "I also remember them throwing us out of the venue because we were there so late listening to it."

"Edge" is sonically different from "Judas" and the album's title track, but White Shadow said emotionally, the songs are all very similar. "I think you will see a couple really emotional and complex songs on the album. I am so proud of her. She really put a lot of herself into the record; it genuinely hurts me when people take digs at her," he said. "You all know her as this monster, this invincible creature, but she is like my little sister.

"As a person, I know how hard she worked. I watched her put these songs together," he continued. "I know how much work and love she put into this album. I also know how much of it she had to do (to succeed by today's standard) versus what she did do (to succeed by her standard). At any rate, she gets a lot of mud slung at her, and there are a lot of real a--holes out there, trying to sh-- on her and f--- her over to make themselves look good. I just hope, when this record comes out, everyone will see, like I do, her genuine talent, vision, and love for life and her fans."

What Is Lady Gaga Like? 'Judas' Co-Stars Weigh In!

Lady Gaga is many things to many people. She's a pop star, a fashionista and a voice for those who feel they can't speak for themselves. In her video for "Judas," she took on a new role: Mary Magdalene. MTV News caught up with both Judas (Norman Reedus) and Jesus (Rick Gonzalez) from the clip, and they shared what Gaga is really like to work with.

"Gaga's a super cool girl from New York," Reedus said. "She's religious; she does prayers. We have some mutual friends, I think. She says prayers with her people before she goes out onstage, I've heard, and she's very much a group player. And she's not weird at all. She's actually an artist who believes in what she's doing and really takes the bull by the horns and is not afraid to say what she wants to say."

His "Judas" co-star, Gonzalez, said that a lot of her coolness is reflected in her partnership with creative director Laurieann Gibson. "When I first met [Gaga], she was very passionate and very driven. I was really impressed and found a newfound respect for her, because she's such a hardworking woman and so dedicated and very creative," Gonzalez said. "And her, with Laurieann, they make such a great team together.

"I think you're going to see a lot more amazing things with them, 'cause they totally have this synergy," he continued. "And I've overheard them say it: They're totally going to do a lot more things together. So I'm excited to see what that's stuff going to be. ... It's really impressive."

While a lot of the time Gaga seems to offend someone with what she's doing, Reedus said that's not her intention.

"She's cool enough where she's just not trying to offend people to offend people. I mean, who does that? She's actually super talented and she's a machine," Reedus said. "That girl works really, really hard. ... I felt sort of lazy around her. It was kind of inspiring."
