Shirtless Justin Bieber Shows Off New Religious Ink



Move over Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber is the latest underage celeb to be showing off some new ink. The 'Baby, Baby' singer isn't a baby anymore -- a shirtless Bieber, 17, revealed his second tattoo
while catching some rays in Hawaii with girlfriend, Selena Gomez.


The tattoo reads 'Jesus' in Hebrew and runs along the pop phenom's left side, according to Hollywood Life. Talk about wearing your faith on your sleeve, Bieber has always been very vocal regarding his religious views, remembering to thank God in his numerous acceptance speeches.


This is the second tattoo for Bieber, his first is the outline of a seagull on his hip -- a tattoo that several members of his family also don. We wonder what Disney good girl, Gomez, thinks of her man's new ink.




Michael Jackson Collaboration With Bee Gees' Barry Gibb Unearthed



With the world clamoring for posthumous Michael Jackson material, most of what has been unveiled so far has been mired in controversy for one reason or another. The Bee Gees' Barry
Gibb, who is an official Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) lest you forget, is hoping to change that. Turns out, he's been sitting on an undisputed but largely unknown collaboration with Jackson that dates back to 2002.


"Michael Jackson and I were the dearest of friends, that's simply what it was," writes Gibb in a statement on his website. "We gravitated towards the same kind of music and we loved collaborating and he was the easiest person to write with. The more we got to know each other, the more those ideas entwined and it all came to this song, 'All in Your Name.'"


On Wednesday (May 25), Gibb also released a 34-second teaser video of him and Jackson working on the song in the studio, as shown below. Gibb revealed that there's more than two hours of footage in all, filmed by his son Ashley Gibb, during the December, 2002 recording sessions. The sessions took place at the Bee Gees' once-renowned but now defunct Middle Ear Studios in Miami, Fla.


"'All in Your Name' is, in fact, the message that Michael wanted to send out to all of his fans all over the world, that he did it all for them and for the pure love of music," writes Gibb. "I hope and pray that we all get to hear it in its entirety. This experience, I will treasure forever."




Lady Gaga Penned 'Fashion' Song In Memory of Alexander McQueen



Lady Gaga revealed that one of the tracks on her new 'Born This Way' album is about the late, legendary fashion designer Alexander McQueen.


Gaga was deeply affected by McQueen's tragic death and her song 'Fashion of His Love' her personal tribute to the couturier.


Gaga posted a note on her Twitter page saying, "Fashion Of His Love is about Alexander McQueen." McQueen committed suicide by hanging on February 11, 2010 -- news that shook the fashion and entertainment industry to its core.


That same month, Gaga performed at the 2010 Brit Awards wearing one of McQueen's couture creations (pictured here) and honored her friend saying, "This is for Alexander McQueen." She also commemorated McQueen after accepting her awards that night.


From the red carpet to her music videos and live performances, Gaga has made McQueen's creations a staple in her high fashion wardrobe. In addition to dedicating 'Fashion of His Love' to McQueen, Gaga released her new lead single 'Born This Way' on February 11 2011, exactly one year after the designer's death.

Kim Kardashian's Parents Gave Permission for the Engagement



While Kim Kardashian was caught off guard when Kris Humphries proposed to her, Kim's parents, Kris and Bruce Jenner, were aware of Humphries' proposal plans because he asked for their permission a few days earlier.


PEOPLE is reporting that Kris revealed this information to the press conference.


"He came to Bruce and myself and asked us for Kim's hand in marriage, and it was really just so cute the way that he wanted to surprise her," Kris Jenner said.


Humphries reportedly was in Kim's bedroom on bended knee with red rose petals spelling out the all important question, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?"


The New Jersey Nets player proposed to the reality star with a $2 million rock from Lorraine Schwartz. The ring boasts a 16.5-carat emerald cut diamond in the center of two 2-carat trapezoid shaped stones, totaling 20.5 carats of "the highest clarity and color."


Kris said that she decided to host a family dinner in honor of the occasion without revealing the real reason to the rest of the family. "[Kim and Kris] were going to come over to my house, join the party, and then tell the rest of the family."


Even Kim's sisters, Khloe and Kourtney, were unaware of the engagement and were caught by surprise, just like the rest of the family, when the announcement was made.


Khloe revealed everyone else was in the dark. "None of [the rest of] us knew," she said. "We were all sitting there like, 'Kim is so late for dinner and we're starving.' And we're like, 'Where the hell is Kim?'"


"Then she walked in, and we're like, 'Oh my God!'" Khloe said. "But we just thought we were going to a family dinner."


Kourtney said, "We had no idea! We were both surprised at the dinner when Kim came out with her big rock and she started waving it in the air."


An entertainment insider has revealed that Kim could make millions thanks to her wedding, especially for the exclusive wedding photos.


And since we are talking about the Kardashians here, there is also the possibility of a spin-off TV show that would follow her getting ready for the big day, culminating in a televised ceremony.


Arnold Schwarzenegger's Mistress Threatens to Sue Over Story



Arnold Schwarzenegger's mistress, Mildred "Patty" Baena, has threatened to sue Entertainment Tonight over an interview with her ex-husband, Rogelio Baena.


In an interview with ET, Rogelio revealed that Patty led him to believe her 13-year-old child with Schwarzenegger was his own and only learned the truth last week ago when the news of the affair and Schwarzenegger's confession came out. Rogelio said he felt 'betrayed' by the news.


TMZ is reporting that after the interview was aired, Patty's lawyer sent a letter to ET claiming that Rogelio always knew that the love child wasn't his and said that the entertainment channel ran the interview without doing any research into Rogelio's history with his ex-wife.


The one time Schwarzenegger family housekeeper is also claiming that ET paid "in excess of six figures to spew lies."


The letter stated that they can prove that Rogelio was out of the country when the child was conceived and only returned after Patty was carrying the child.


The lawyer states, "Thus, Mr. Baena knew then, just as he knows now, that he could not possibly have been the boy's father."


The letter also claims that Rogelio was residing in Colombia until ET paid to fly him into the country and "lie on television for a six figure paycheck."


Patty's lawyers are demanding an apology and a retraction of the story on grounds that "our client has been outrageously defamed." They are also threatening legal action against the show, should ET not comply with their demands.


Kim Kardashian's Wedding Will Be Royally 'Massive'



Kim Kardashian's surprise engagement news gave the world a welcome breather from the Arnold-ultery scandal on Wednesday, and now sources tell me the reality starlet will look to command even
more attention by making hers the biggest celebrity wedding ... ever.


"Kim's wedding is going to be bigger than Tom and Katie," a friend of Kim's tells me. "In fact, she wants it to be bigger than William and Kate's."


On that grandiose note, a source also told OK! Magazine that Kim "sees herself as a bigger celebrity than Kate Middleton."


New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries popped the question in her Beverly Hills home May 18th by waiting in her bedroom on bended knee with four words written in red rose petals: "WILL YOU MARRY ME?"


Then he gave her a custom-designed, 20.5-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond sparkler valued at about $2 million. (Kris' salary on the Nets is $3.2 million.) But this is just the beginning of the pomp.


"The wedding is going to be massive. They are talking about having multiple weddings around the world. All of which will be recorded to air on TV and have hundreds of celebrity guests attending," an insider tells me. "Kim is not a low key kind of person."


Indeed, Kim sees herself as part of an American royal family of sorts, and her wedding will reflect that. "Just like Kate," my source continues, "Her dress will be kept a huge secret until she steps out of her limo or maybe she will have horse driven carriage."

Madonna's Appearance On Oprah's Surprise Spectacular Show

Kevin Federline Packs on the Pregnancy Pounds (Photos)



Kevin Federline and his very pregnant girlfriend, Victoria Prince, headed out to the ball field Monday and we can't help but notice how these two are starting to look a little, err, shall we say ... similar?


Prince and Federline announced they were bringing the fifth Federline into the world back in March and it seems the pair have been collectively eating for two.


Once an uber-fit dancer, Federline packed on the post-marriage pounds after his split with ex-wife Britney Spears and begrudgingly became known as 'K-Fat.' He joined the 7th season of 'Celebrity Fit Club' and dropped back down to the slimmer K-Fed that exploded onto the scene as the man who married, and impregnated the famed pop star.


Federline was tipping the scales at 232 lbs. when he started 'Fit Club' and was quoted as saying, "I look like a pregnant man right now." He had one of the most notable and successful transformations that season, but it looks like the father of five has ballooned back up.


Federline spends his time coaching son Sean's baseball team, where the family was photographed here. On occasion, Spears has even been spotted sitting in the stands with beau Jason Trawick.


Prince is due with their new baby girl this summer, rounding out Federline's baby total to 5.








Justin Bieber is Highflying in Fragrance Commercial (Video)



Talk about a scent that will take you to a whole new atmosphere, Justin Bieber's new fragrance, 'Someday,' has the Biebs flying high. In the commercial for Bieber's latest venture, after smelling
the neck of his video love interest, the pair is lifted above the clouds.


The bottle, which will hit stores on June 20, features a heart shaped flower top and will set you back $45 -- a portion of the proceeds going to charity.


"Justin created Someday to give fans a personal invitation and intimate access to his heart," the fragrance's official website touts. "It's a fragrance he can't get enough of and can't stay away from, making those who wear it irresistible. So take the experience past the music, beyond the performer, and journey deep into a world of possibilities. Into the world of Justin Bieber."


Selena Gomez better keep an eye on her man -- we have a feeling that more than a few Beliebers will be bathing in the fragrance.




Prince William Races Home to Kate Middleton on His Motorcycle (Photo)



Fresh off his 10-day honeymoon in the Seychelles with his new bride, Kate Middleton, Prince William spent some time with the boys playing football (or soccer for those of us stateside) on
Monday evening. But he was clearly eager to reunite with his wife -- photographers snapped the 28-year-old royal racing home afterwards on his motorcycle.


William and Kate, now officially the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge since their nuptials on April 29, jetted off to the Seychelles, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, following their lavish wedding for an equally lavish honeymoon that reportedly cost over $700,000. They came back just in time to meet another kind of royal couple, Barack and Michelle Obama, today while the President and First Lady toured the U.K.


See the photo below!


But William did get a chance to squeeze in some time to unwind and bond with friends the night before when he was snapped playing soccer in Battersea Park. Afterwards, he hopped on his Ducati and sped home to see his lady.








Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Join Chris Brown and Demi Lovato for Movie Date



It's not enough for Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez to be the most glamorous couple in the tweensphere -- they're apparently looking to ratchet up the star power with celebrified movie-going hang-outs.


According to Hollywood Life, Biebs and Gomez "met up with Selena's renewed BFF Demi Lovato and Justin's friend Chris Brown for a midnight showing of 'Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides' at ArcLight theaters in Sherman Oaks, Calif. We spoke to four eyewitnesses who all confirmed they saw the gaggle of celebrity friends."


One source says the singing quartet were "so amped up to be hanging out they kept jumping up and down."


They were so thrilled to hang, in fact, they left the movie early.


"Barely anybody bothered them," a bystander tells Hollywood Life. "One girl approached Selena and said she was a 'Wizards of Waverly Place' fan. Selena smiled and took a picture with her. It didn't look like any of them even had bodyguards."


Another moviegoer called it "surreal, and a little random," adding that the pop stars could have easily passed for "a bunch of regular high schoolers." Just, y'know, prettier, famouser, and apparently louder.




Julianne Hough Bikini-Clad & Locking Lips With her new boyfriend (Photos)



That's certainly not boyfriend, Ryan Seacrest, that Julianne Hough is locking lips with. But the 'American Idol' host shouldn't fret -- Hough got her flirt on with co-star, Diego Boneta, while the
two were on-set of their forthcoming flick, 'Rock of Ages,' according to Just Jared.


Hough rocked a purple high-cut bikini while Boneta sported an interesting water garb choice -- jeans. The pair also caught some rays as they relaxed on the beach between takes.


"Rise and Shine! It's the first day of shooting #rockofagesmovie @Adammshankman & @Diegoboneta are you ready to get your love montage on? :)" the former 'Dancing with the Stars' pro tweeted before heading to the Miami beach.


We wonder what Seacrest thinks of Hough's steamy on-screen trysts.






Beyonce Criticized for 'Run the World (Girls)' Performance



Beyonce is catching flack for her performance at the Billboard Music Awards last Sunday.
Before accepting the honorary Millennium Award, Sasha Fierce lively-uped the stage with her first
television performance of 'Run the World (Girls).' As she danced, images projected on a giant white screen behind her. However, some say the production looked too similar to one put on by Italian pop star Lorella Cuccarini last year.


Media artist and film director Kenzo Digital designed the graphics for the performance and admitted Beyonce and co. were inspired by Cuccarini, but charges the concept has been around since the '80s. "[The Cuccarini artists] are awesome and do incredible work as well, but there are a lot of different inspirations for where our piece came from," Kenzo explained to The Amp.


"...It's just a bare white screen. It's a technique in video art since the '80s in terms of frontal projection and interactive things. That's really nothing new. It's not even a new technology. It's just an incredibly simple, awesome storytelling device, and with a performer like Beyonce it becomes incredibly powerful."


Kenzo also commended Beyonce on her work ethic. "There was no visual guide," he points out. "Her eye line was straight into the crowd, engaging the crowd. That's just her amazing abilities as a performer."


'Run the World (Girls)' is the lead single from Beyonce's forthcoming album, '4,' slated for release this summer. Another track from the album, titled 'Till the End of Time,' surfaced online yesterday.

Angelina Jolie Takes Kids to 'Kung Fu Panda 2' Premiere (Photos)



Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt hit the red carpet for the premiere of Jolie's new film, 'Kung Fu Panda 2' yesterday, and although the pair went into the theatre alone, they came out with a few extra things. Four of their six kids!


Maddox, Zahara, Pax and Shiloh snuck into Grauman's Chinese Theatre to hear their mom's voice in the DreamWorks animated film, and exited hand-in-hand with their very famous parents.


The only things missing from this family outing were the youngest two of the stylish Jolie-Pitt brood, twins Knox and Vivienne.






Zsa Zsa Gabor Awakens from Coma



After going into a coma following an emergency stomach surgery, Zsa Zsa Gabor awoke late last week with her husband, Prince von Anhalt, at her side. Although the 94-year-old actress is on the
mend, she is still having difficulty speaking and has been placed on a feeding tube.


"She's the only think I have, if she dies I don't have anybody else to live for," von Anhalt told OnTheRedCarpet.com. "She does not want to be left alone. I sleep in a couch with my feet dangling but that's ok, we made promises that we would take care of each other until the end. I know she would do the same for me."


As of last Friday, it was reported that Gabor may be heading home to continue her recovery early this week. But the legendary actress would still require intensive home care. According to von Anhalt, she can only say four words: "yes, no, hurts me, and darling."


A complication with a feeding tube due to an emergency stomach surgery is reported to have brought on the coma. But even with her series of health problems -- she has battled pneumonia, suffered a partial stroke and had one leg amputated in January due to infection -- von Anhalt says that it's her strong heart that keeps her going.


Teresa Giudice and Hubby Hit the Beach (Photo)



'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Teresa Giudice hit Miami Beach with her 'juicy' husband Joe over the weekend.


The mother of four girls wore a sparkly green bikini as she and her hubby enjoyed the warm weather and cooling off in the water. The pair were down in Florida as a part of the reality star's book tour for her family cookbook, Fabulicious!


Giudice has always said she puts family first, but that didn't seem to be the case on the premiere of this 'Housewives' season. She got into an explosive argument with the newest cast member, Melissa Gorga, who happens to also be her sister-in-law.


It looks like it will be yet another season full of fireworks for the 'Housewives' in the Garden State.






Lady Gaga Talks About Being Bullied at School on 'The View' (Video)



Lady Gaga said today on 'The View' that she was bullied at school as a kid, even though she had a "nice group of friends." It was an experience that has stuck with her as an adult, influenced her
decisions and her self-esteem, and even had an effect on how she communicated with her fans.


"I don't think I realized how deeply it affected me until I started to become more successful," said Gaga. "And suddenly there's lots of pressure and I had to be a role model and look inside myself and say, well, what do I have to offer?"


Gaga said she felt like she didn't have much to offer for a long time, and she recognizes that some of her fans are having similar struggles. In the music, she said, both Gaga and her fans "find liberation from our challenges and our identity struggles." In her previous identity, Gaga would not have been able to wear 10-inch platform shoes. Now the only problem is not falling.




LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian Honeymoon in Mexico



Newlyweds LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian finally left on their honeymoon Sunday-one month after they tied the knot, PEOPLE reports. The couple is vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.


Rimes and Cibrian weren't able to take an immediate honeymoon due to Rimes' work schedule but the country crooner told the magazine they were hoping to squeeze one in not long after the wedding.


"We have to go back to work right away. The next four to five weeks hopefully, we'll be able to take a honeymoon. That's the plan," she said.


The couple was photographed at Los Angeles International Airport as they prepared to depart on their trip. They were spotted Monday walking hand-in-hand on the beach at Esperanza Resort, where they are staying.


"Beautiful night on the beach!!!!" Rimes Tweeted Sunday night. "Going to sleep to the waves tonight!!!!" she added later.


On Monday, the singer also took to her Twitter page: "We've been out for 2 hrs on the beach and in the pool!"


Justin Bieber Is Seeking a Jay-Z Collaboration



Besides driving teenage girls crazy, Justin Bieber also has a few fans in the hip-hop world. The 17-year-old collaborated with Kanye West and Raekwon for the 'Runaway Love' remix and is hoping to raise the stakes for his next album.


"I would love to work with Jay-Z," Bieber told the BoomBox. "Just a cool fun record."


Coming off of an amazing couple of years that provided him hit records and a hit movie, Bieber, who took home a total of six awards at the Sunday (May 22) night Billboard Music Awards, remains humbled by his accolades. "I'm amazed to get any awards, but I really like the [Top] New Artist [award]. It's great to be acknowledged anywhere, but just to have that respect, it feels good."


As for that future Jay-Z and Bieber collaboration, that might not happen for a while considering the 'Blueprint 3' singer has been hard at work on a joint-album with West. Titled 'Watch the Throne,' the two rappers are reportedly finishing up the effort, so Bieber might have to wait a little before Jay-Z can pencil him into his schedule.


This year's Billboard Music Awards featured performances from the Black Eyed Peas, Cee Lo Green, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna, the latter two who both performed with Britney Spears. The night's big winners included Usher and Rihanna who each took home three awards, and Beyonce who received the Millennium Award.


Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Jet Off on a Romantic Vacation



After their public display of affection at the Billboard Music Awards, where Justin Bieber officially called Selena Gomez his girlfriend, the couple have reportedly gone off on a romantic vacation.


The Daily Mail is reporting that the Bieber and Gomez are taking some well deserved time off in Hawaii. The couple was spotted walking to the beach in Maui on Monday.


"After working their asses off, they've carved out some serious time to hang out," a source told E! Online. "They're taking a well-deserved break together."


Bieber and Gomez are also planning to spend some quality time with their families, after the vacation.


Bieber just wrapped up his concert tour in Japan last week and Gomez was seen finishing the music video for her latest single, 'Love You Like a Love Song', last week.


Gomez's used pink tinted horses in the video shoot, which angered fellow singer Pink who tweeted, "If there are any animal activists around Malibu- at Leo Cabrillo State beach, there are horses being painted for a stupid music video. Shame."
