Mary J. Blige's CD release party last week was tainted by news that she slapped her husband,Kendu Isaacs, because he was flirting with a waitress. But according to Blige's rep, those facts are all wrong.

Mary and her husband Kendu Isaacs reportedly did not get into a fight, contrary to reports (Getty)
Her team told the New York Daily News, "Mary was not fighting with her husband. Her husband and her brother got into an altercation that turned into a fight. Mary went to break up the fight."

At the moment, the reason for the fight hasn't been revealed. But we do know that security at the Chelsea club helped stop the incident -- and for the record, Isaacs' lip was NOT bleeding, as was previously reported. Blige's rep confirmed, "Nobody was bleeding."

It had also been rumored that Blige angrily compared her husband to singer Chris Brown, but that claim was also shot down by Blige's spokesperson. "She never mentioned Chris Brown. Mary and Kendu went home together. They're has happy as can be."  Click Here for original post & video

John Legend and girlfriend Christine Teigen weren’t shy, showing PDA at his 31st birthday party at Simyone Lounge in New York City on Monday (Dec. 28). The Grammy winner celebrated with friends including Ludacris, Estelle, Ryan Leslie, and Consequence.

Kevin Jonas and Danielle Deleasa's wedding earlier this month was like a fairy tale – complete with a castle, an enchanted forest and glass slippers in the bride's shoe size, a gift from the groom.

"I knew that my princess needed her glass slippers and her castle," Jonas told our friends over at PEOPLE of the nuptials.

"I always wanted my wedding to have that princess feel," adds the new Mrs. Jonas. "I couldn't have imagined this," she says of her lavish wedding Dec. 19 at Oheka Castle in Huntington, New York.

Despite a blizzard blanketing the roads around the castle, the wedding went forward without a hitch, and the bride, escorted by her father Thomas "Bucky" Deleasa, walked down the aisle to "Bella Notte," from Lady and the Tramp, played on the guitar by a friend of the Jonas family. "I'm an Italian girl. It just fit me and my dad," said Danielle of the song choice.

The groom's father Kevin Jonas Sr., an ordained minister, officiated along with Danielle's childhood pastor, Rev. Ron DePasquale Jr. After reciting traditional vows, the couple exchanged Jacob & Co. wedding bands that they designed for one another.

"I've never seen a more beautiful bride," said Kevin of Danielle, who he calls his "Jersey Girl" and who wore a strapless tulle and Chantilly lace Vera Wang gown at the ceremony.

For all the details – and exclusive photos – pick up the new issue of PEOPLE on newsstands Dec. 30.

She did it again! After months as a blonde, Britney Spears has traded her flaxen tresses for a raven color. And while hair changes are nothing new to the star, who has notoriously sported everything from her signature baby blonde to, well, no hair at all — we always love seeing her change up her look.

There has been much talk about the origin of Jennifer Lopez’s first single “Louboutins.” The producer behind the track, Tricky Stewart, is setting the record straight on how the designer heels ended up on J.Lo’s feet.


“We originally wrote the song for Brandy and when Brandy’s situation kinda fell apart over at [Epic Records], there was an opportunity for us to place the record on J.Lo’s album,” Stewart explains to our friends over at Rap-Up.com. Brandy was previously signed to Epic, currently home to Lopez.

The Grammy winner describes what it was like to collaborate with J.Lo on “Louboutins,” for which she will shoot a video next month. “I’ve always been a fan of hers and have so much respect for her career, how she’s put it together, and where she’s come from,” he says. “It was a great opportunity and she sounded amazing on the record, and [Epic] obviously already loved the record ’cause they loved it for Brandy. So once we got it sounding great, it seemed like a no-brainer that it would be the first single.”

Tricky and his hitmaking partner The-Dream contributed other material to the superstar’s new project, but he didn’t know if it would make the cut. “We did do other songs, but I don’t want to say our other songs are on there and they’re not.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie felt the spirit of giving this holiday season.

The famously generous couple donated $100,000 to the American SOS Children's Villages, an alternative foster care organization with locations in the U.S. in Illinois and Florida.

"We have seen firsthand the remarkable job SOS does to raised orphaned and abandoned children and keep families together," Jolie, 34, said in a statement. "No one "ages out" of an SOS Village. Vocational training, advanced education, living assistance and more support are there forever."

Heather Paul, CEO of SOS Children's Villages USA, thanked the Jolie-Pitts for their generosity and said they were longtime supporters of the organization. "We are deeply grateful that this year they have included in their generosity our villages in Illinois and Florida and our 300 children who call SOS 'home,' " she said in a statement. "In this holiday season, many of us take for granted that we are surrounded by loving family members. The poor outcomes for foster children indicate that we must do a much better job of supporting them."

SOS Children’s Villages is the largest nonprofit organization in the world solely dedicated to orphaned and abandoned children. There are 500 villages in 132 countries.

When actress Brittany Murphy passed away last week, many of her friends mentioned her magnificent singing voice when they offered their condolences and voiced their sadness over her death.

While most of her fans never had the chance to hear Murphy's vocal stylings (save the brief "rolling with the homies" verse she sang in Clueless), friends say she was truly talented both musically and theatrically. Murphy's collaborator on No. 1 dance track "You Turn Me On," Paul Oakenfold, told People, "Brittany trained as a singer before she did as an actress...She was a great actress but she had great vocal potential."

Apparently Oakenfold had demo-ed three other singers for the song, but Brittany had it in the bag from the start.

"It's just a shame that the world is not going to hear more songs of Brittany Murphy," he said.

After five seasons, two Daytime Emmy awards and too many girl-power episodes to count, Tyra Banks is announcing the end of The Tyra Show.

“This will be the last season of The Tyra Show,” Banks tells DIDNTINVITEME exclusively. “I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past 5 years.”
Wrapping at the end of its fifth season in the spring of 2010, it will be lights out for the show that brought viewers memorable weave-exposing, cellulite-revealing and tear-jerking moments.

Banks will focus on the launch of Bankable Studios, a N.Y.-based film production company currently reviewing possible projects. Sticking to her mission, Banks aims to bring “positive images of women to the big screen,” says an industry insider.

“My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are,” Banks says.

Adds the insider: “Tyra is sad because she’ll be missing so much of the daily connection to her viewers, but excited at the same time to be taking on a new challenge.”
With encouragement from filmmaker Tyler Perry and longtime mentor Oprah Winfrey, Banks is “redefining beauty for women in film,” adds the source. “With Oprah’s big announcement this year, I think that gave Tyra the confidence to get out there and follow her longtime dream of film producing.”

But fashion fiends worry not. America’s Next Top Model is slated to return for its 14th season in February along with Banks’s ABC show True Beauty.
“There’s a lot cooking right now and a lot of fire burning in my heart,” Banks writes in an open letter on her Web site. “And I salute you my amazing family of viewers; without you there never would have been a Tyra Show. I really love you all.”

The-Dream expressed his dismay after his latest album Love vs. Money was shut out of the 2010 Grammy nominations. Another critically praised album, Ryan Leslie’s self-titled debut, was also absent from the list, but the Harvard grad is taking it all in stride.


“I feel like next year is another year,” the producer behind hits for Cassie and Mary J. Blige tells Rap-Up.com. “I think it was Michael Jordan who said, ‘You can’t get points for yesterday’s game.’ I think that’s all in the past now. We can cry, jump up, [and say], ‘Why didn’t I get nominated?’ The fact is I didn’t get nominated.”

R-Les is looking toward the future and hopes to grab a golden gramophone with the recent release of his sophomore album Transition. “The opportunity that I have is I can get nominated for future works, so that means my future work needs to be Grammy worthy.”

Mariah Carey was back on the Italian island of Capri, except this time she wasn’t vacationing. Fresh off her Christmas getaway in Aspen with husband Nick Cannon, MC attended the second day of the 14th Annual Capri Hollywood International Film Festival on Monday (Dec. 28).

Santa Claus has one more gift to give. Unwrap Mariah Carey, who dons her own sexy basketball gear, in the promos for the NBA Christmas Day games.

The greeting portrays the Cannons as a sexy version of Mr. and Mrs. Claus, surrounded by their four dogs Cha-Cha, J.J., Dolomite, and Jack. The card was illustrated by J. David McKenney. Below is what 2008’s card looked like.

Jennifer Lopez says she was nervous about dedicating Barba Streisand's "My Man" to Marc Anthony at his 40th birthday party, but she rose to the challenge and "graduated" as a singer when she nailed the song.

“I sang and he was like, you know the tears in his eyes," Lopez said. "And we were both like, ‘What was that?’ I was like, finally, I am a singer. This is what I do. I don’t ever have to doubt that in my mind, nobody can ever make me doubt it again.”

Jennifer also revealed she plans to take her 22-month-old twins, Max and Emme, with her when she tours next year. “They are going to have to go with me," she told Access Hollywood. "Sometimes we have them in studio, sometimes I’m just like, ‘Let me go in really quick and get back home really quick, but it’s always with them in mind.

“For anybody who has children, you know, your priorities change as a mom. You just have to… always work everything around their happiness… and their well being.”

Just last month, word got out that The Pussycat Dolls officially called it quits–leaving many to believe that bickering and backlash towards lead singer Nicole Scherzinger’s popularity triggered the break-up. Well according to the group’s founder Robin Antin, the Pussycat Dolls are not breaking up, instead they’re getting a major facelift. She tells MTV,

“There’s all these crazy rumors: Are the Pussycat Dolls breaking up? Everyone asks me. And the answer is no. The Pussycat Dolls are not at all breaking up. I’m the creator of the Pussycat Dolls and I own the brand. I’m the first one; I would be the one to say, ‘OK, it’s over.’ It’s so not.”

As for the group’s lineup, she mentioned that Nicole is still in the group. However, she didn’t reveal who’s been replaced. She adds,

“Nicole is going back in the studio. We’re working on new music right now. There will be a few new faces in the Pussycat Dolls. I’ve been really putting that out there. I’m really excited about it. Inside every girl, inside every woman, is a Pussycat Doll and I always want to bring in new faces to really show there are so many Pussycat Dolls out there. It isn’t about one forever. So I’m excited about that. It’s Nicole and a few … a couple new faces. Some of the girls want to go and do their own thing. We’re moving on. We’re excited. We’re looking at new girls. It’s phase three of the Pussycat Dolls because we did our first album, our second album and now we’re going on to our third. We’re touring … a lot is coming up.”

According to the New York Post Mary J. Blige punched husband Kendu Isaacs in the face at her record release party at club M2 Tuesday night. The singer slugged Isaacs, drawing blood, after she thought he was flirting with a waitress. "She turned to him and was screaming, 'You're not going to ruin my night,' " our witness says. "They got up in each other's faces before someone tried to separate them, at which point she shoved the guy aside, pulled back and popped [Isaacs] in the face." The source said Blige, Isaacs and their entourage were whisked through a door to the attached club Pink, which was closed. Our witness relates, "She was yelling at him, 'What are you gonna do, Chris Brown me?' Four of her bodyguards and two of the club's kept them apart." Isaacs was kicked out. Blige went to the bathroom to fix her hair and makeup, but soon fled, creating an uncomfortable scene for partygoers Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Busta Rhymes. Her rep said only, "People lie and don't know what they're talking about."

This year, Christmas offers some starry gifts for moviegoers – an array of movies in all genres. But which flick will you be lining up for?

Penélope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson and Fergie sing, dance and vamp through the musical Nine. Robert Downey Jr. teams up with Jude Law and Rachel McAdams in Guy Ritchie's action-adventure take on the classic Sherlock Holmes. If sci-fi is your genre of choice – and blizzards or crowds deterred you last weekend – there's another chance to see James Cameron's box office-topping Avatar. (And it's in 3-D!) Meanwhile, George Clooney plays a suave jetsetter with one tough job in his Golden Globe-nominated Up in the Air. And Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep play exes who rekindle their romance in Nancy Meyers' comedy, It's Complicated.

It's a boy for Johnny Knoxville and girlfriend Naomi Nelson.

The couple welcomed son Rocko Akira Clapp on Sunday night in Los Angeles. The baby weighed in at 8 lbs., and measured 20 inches long. Both mother and son are doing well, reports the Los Angeles Times.

In announcing the pregnancy in August, the actor and former Jackass star, 38 – whose real name is Phillip John Clapp – said he was "excited as hell" to meet his baby-on-the-way.

Rocko joins Madison, Knoxville's 13-year-old daughter from a previous marriage.

It seems like it's always a party at Victoria Beckham’s house at Christmastime. The rest of the Spice Girls, Mel B, Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton, come and celebrate the season with their former bandmate and her soccer star husband David Beckham and get silly and drink and dance.

Singer Emma is quoted by the Daily Express newspaper as saying: “We all go over to David and Victoria’s for lovely food and good wine. It’s the only time we all get to see each other, we get a bit tipsy and listen to Spice Girls songs. I can’t believe I’ve admitted that!”

In addition to preparing for their annual get together, the former bandmates have been spending a lot more time together recently as they work on their upcoming musical. Earlier this year, the group revealed they are working on a stage production called Viva Forever, which will depict the girls’ rags-to-riches rise to fame.

The musical will include 14 of the band’s biggest tracks and is due to open on November 5 next year. The singers also plan to launch a talent show to find five women perfect to portray them on the stage.

Susan Boyle could be the voice behind the theme song for the new James Bond flick. The Scottish star, who shot into the spotlight this year after being the runner-up on UK reality TV show Britain's Got Talent, is supposedly excited about the prospect of helping with the movie, which stars Daniel Craig and is due out in 2011.
Monty Norman, composer of the classic 007 theme music, thinks Susan would be a "great" choice. He said: "They'll think seriously because she's got the right kind of sweeping voice."

Lee Pfeiffer co-author of The Essential James Bond book, described Susan as "a throwback to those great days when the likes of Dame Shirley Bassey would be asked to sing."

Some of the world’s biggest music stars have recorded theme songs to Bond films, including Bassey, Sir Paul McCartney, Madonna and Duran Duran. The 48-year-old star has already shattered all chart records with her debut album I Dreamed a Dream. The LP sold an astonishing 411,000 copies in the UK in one week and over 2 million copies worldwide - making it the fastest-selling debut album by a woman ever. It is still clocking up sales at an incredible rate.

Miley Cyrus performed in front of an amazing 16,196 fans at London's 02 Arena, when she played the third of her five sold-out concerts there earlier this month. The 17-year-old star is currently on a 10-date tour of the UK and all tickets were sold out within 10 minutes of going on sale.

Miley, who shot to fame playing the title role in Disney TV show Hannah Montana, recently joked that she thinks she's the "coolest person ever" and is never scared of meeting other famous people because she is far trendier than everyone she knows. When asked if she gets star-struck, she replied: "No, I'm pretty cool. I'm pretty much the coolest person ever... no, I'm pretty cool. I'm pretty much the coolest person ever."

Miley recently gyrated on stage at the Royal Variety Performance in Blackpool, UK, wearing only a tiny pair of leather hotpants while performing her hit "Party In The USA."
