Rihanna‘s one-on-one with talk show doyenne Oprah Winfrey for ‘Oprah’s Next Chapter’ focused on her relationship with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. Most of the preview clips focused on RiRi crying while recounting her love for him (as opposed to her memories of the beating he handed to her), which was a smart strategy to pull viewers in. But the most striking thing about the chat was the vulnerability

There’s mashups and then there’s mega mashups. Gotye found a creative way to celebrate his No. 1 smash hit ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ by assembling and curating a host of online versions and covers of the song into one mega mashup and mix.

If the administration at the Delhi Charter School in Delhi, Louisiana suspects a student of being pregnant, they are forcing the girls to take pregnancy tests.

Singers Katy Perry and John Mayer aren’t doing anything to dispel the rumors that they are a new couple, yet they aren’t outright confirming them either. But then again, they don’t need to, since pics are worth a thousand words, if not more. They were snapped together in a car after noshing at Hollywood hot spot the Chateau Marmont, which is another name for “Where Celebs Go When They Want to Be P

Fab Five member Gabby Douglas won the gold medal in the women’s gymnastics all-around competition. While the Russian competitors were the front-runners, Douglas scored the win and nabbed one of the most sought-after prizes in the gymnastics rounds! Congrats, Gabby!

Pink is the kinda gal you want at all your parties. Even though she downplays her hellraiser image at this point in her career — she once slashed her hubby’s tires, earning 13 stitches in the process — she seems like a good time, all the time...

Pink is being associated with former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin but something tells us the sassy singer won’t mind or be cringing in this case.

Rumor has it that Katy Perry is now dating fellow musician, the well-traveled (at least in Hollywood dating circles) John Mayer. Perry finalized her divorce from comedian Russell Brand earlier this month, but that hasn’t stopped rumors from spiraling that she’s diving headfirst into the dating scene (again!) and hooking up with Mayer.

First there was a nude photo scandal where a girl with similar heavy bangs was mistaken for Carly Rae Jepsen. Now, the adorbs ‘Call Me Maybe’ singer is dealing with rumors that she starred in her very own sex tape. A video surfaced yesterday (July 23), right after CRJ’s triumphant performance at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards.

Madonna has been a rabble-rouser her whole career and it’s not like she is going to stop now. Madge brought fake firearms on stage on Saturday (July 21) in Scotland, despite pleas from authorities not to do so. Her actions were in incredibly poor taste given the recent tragic shooting in Colorado.

Miracles do happen. A church pastor who counseled parents post-Columbine has offered a detailed update about the status and prognosis of one of the victims of last week’s Aurora, CO massacre at a midnight screening of ‘The Dark Knight Rises.’ The victim survived due to a brain defect that she didn’t even know she had.

Mariah Carey has officially joined ‘American Idol‘ as a judge for Season 12, which kicks off in 2013. Congrats not only to Carey but to Fox on this major, major coup. While it seemed that producers had a challenge on their hands in trying to find a suitable A-list replacement for the departing Jennifer Lopez, they outdiva-ed the diva with this addition.
