Chris Brown who lands a role in the movie was among those who came early that night. He appeared in his black ensemble paired with sneakers and sunglasses. His cast mates T.I. and Hayden Christensen showed up in more formal style with complete suit.

Additionally, singer Keri Hilson was spotted among the guests of the black carpet event. She donned a black blouse matched with hot pants. After the screening, the "Energy" hitmaker as well as Brown and T.I. were scheduled to perform live.

Supported by the likes of Idris Elba, Paul Walker, Matt Dillon and Zoe Saldana on the cast ensemble, "Takers" follows a notorious group of criminals who continues to baffle police by pulling off perfectly executed bank robberies. In their one last job where more money is at stake than ever before, they find out a hard-boiled detective who is hell-bent on solving the case interrupts their plan.

Along with the Los Angeles premiere, three new clips have been debuted to promote the movie. One clip features Chris Brown as he is being chased by Matt Dillon, while another snippet shows the group on their mission. The other video, meanwhile, gives preview to the criminals planning their action.

Four days after his intimate wedding to Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz gathered some buddies – and bubbly – to celebrate.

One important person was missing from the festivities – his pregnant wife. But Swizz Beatz's new brother-in-law, Cole Cook, was by his side during the partying.

The music producer, 31, was spotted hitting up a club in Porto Cervo, Italy, Tuesday night with some friends – and by the looks of it, their guys' night out was filled with plenty of bottle popping. In fact, he seems to have been showered in the bubbly.

Dean) and his new bride, however, have been spotted enjoying lots of fun in the sun during their honeymoon in Corsica, France, over the last few days.

Plus, the rapper hasn't been the only celeb to shower himself with the beverage while vacationing near the Mediterranean Sea.

She may don her Daisy Dukes and bikini tops with pride, but Katy Perry still struggles with her self-image – and that's when she turns to her fiancé, comedian Russell Brand.

"I think he taught me a lot about inner beauty and confidence in myself," the singer, 25, tells Seventeen magazine in its September issue.

"I don't really feel pretty ever," she says. "Without makeup, I feel ugly. And so I would have to sleep with makeup on, or feel ugly and gross. He looks beyond all of that, which is such a win, because I've never felt that with anybody."

The couple may have their differences ("He's a very spiritual person, and I'm constantly struggling with the idea of being spiritual and material"), but Perry says their love is the real deal.

"He's in love with the person inside of me," she says, "and the outside of me is just a bonus."

And as the couple prepares to tie the knot, Perry stills remembers her initial attraction to Brand.

"He changed my mind about him the moment I met him," she says. "I said, 'You are a better person than how you are portrayed.'"

Ali (Christina Aguilera) is a small-town girl with a big voice who escapes hardship and an uncertain future to follow her dreams to LA. After stumbling upon The Burlesque Lounge, a majestic but ailing theater that is home to an inspired musical revue, Ali lands a job as a cocktail waitress from Tess (Cher), the club’s proprietor and headliner. Burlesque’s outrageous costumes and bold choreography enrapture the young ingenue, who vows to perform there one day.

Soon enough, Ali builds a friendship with a featured dancer (Julianne Hough), finds an enemy in a troubled, jealous performer (Kristen Bell), and garners the affection of Jack (Cam Gigandet), a bartender and fellow musician. With the help of a sharp-witted stage manager (Stanley Tucci) and gender-bending host (Alan Cumming), Ali makes her way from the bar to the stage. Her spectacular voice restores The Burlesque Lounge to its former glory, though not before a charismatic entrepreneur (Eric Dane) arrives with an enticing proposal...

Chris Brown may have shed a few tears the last few weeks, but his future is certainly looking up—the singer not only announced his plans for a new album (and a possible mixtape) to drop later this year, but he signed with Creative Arts Agency (CAA), one of the largest entertainment agencies in Hollywood. Expect the man’s IMDb profile to grow.

Another high note in Breezy’s week is his adept spin on Nicki Minaj’s Annie Lennox-sampling hit “Your Love”, complete with some brand new dirty-as-hell lyrics to match the lovey-dovey ones. Check it below.


This is probably the best thing Chris has recorded in awhile. Too bad the track belongs to somebody else. It’s also unfortunate that although his singing is as smooth as ever, much of his added rapping is uncomfortably gross.

“I wanna kiss everything from the waist down / Keep your ass up and your face down” isn’t exactly a romantic request, and telling a girl you want to “get you to my sex room, do my shit, and I don’t mean restroom” is just plain… ew.

Are you feeling this “Your Love” remake, folks? Let us know in the comments.

Jennifer Hudson has experienced a long list of firsts this past year, from having a baby and planning a wedding to tackling a meaty new role, but none have been quite as shocking as her total body transformation. After dropping from a size 16 to a 6, the fall cover girl tells InStyle
Makeover that she sometimes has to do a double take when she sees herself in photos. “I’m like,
‘Wow! This is what I look like?’” says the new mom, who slimmed down with 5-day-a-week workouts with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak and following Weight Watchers, which she is now the spokesperson for. “It’s not a diet, it’s really a way of living that teaches you better skills,” says Hudson, who admits to faltering on stricter eating plans. “For years I felt like I could never have ice cream, but I can eat ice cream occasionally now!” And with her sleek new look, the star has also developed an entirely different type of appetite—for clothes! “I have a serious shopping problem now,” Jennifer confesses. “Each city we go to, my suitcase won’t hold my new clothes so we have to box them up and ship them home.” And while change seems to be a constant for this multi-talented star, don’t expect her to drop another dress size. “I don’t want to lose any more weight, and you’re never going to see me skinny.” To hear more from Jennifer’s interview, check out InStyle.com or pick up the fall issue of InStyle Makeover, on newsstands Friday.

Sandra Bullock (Getty Images)With all the hoopla surrounding Sandra Bullock's personal life, it's easy to forget how big 2010 has been for her professionally. The soon-to-be divorced new mom topped Forbes' list of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, just months after winning a Best Actress Academy Award for The Blind Side.

At 46 years old, Bullock is at an age when most actresses would be considered "past their prime." But between 2009'sThe Proposal and The Blind Side, she's proved herself incredibly bankable: the former earned $320 million in the box office, and the latter raked in $310 million.

As for Bullock, she earned $56 million between July 2009 and July 2010, making her Hollywood's best-paid actress.

Trailing just behind Bullock are Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz, who both made $32 million. Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker came in fourth and fifth with $27 million and $25 million, respectively. 

Kim Kardashian and beauty queen Candice Crawford may not be playing the field at the moment – but they'll certainly watch their respective Dallas Cowboy hunks from their suite at the Alamodome stadium in San Antonio, Texas.

Talk about a fan base: The cowgirls visited their boyfriends at work on Sunday, as the players hit the field at the Cowboys' training camp. Crawford is dating quarterback (and Jessica Simpson ex) Tony Romo and Kardashian is cozying up with wide receiver Miles Austin (who is not her first NFL beau).

"I almost swallowed my sandwich," team owner Jerry Jones tells the Associated Press about his run-in with Kardashian. "No – it's good to have her here."

It’s been a week of ups and downs for the American Idol judges. But are there more changes still in the works?

With Ellen DeGeneres leaving the show, Kara DioGuardi reportedly out, and Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler reportedly joining the judges’ table, all eyes are on the show’s lone original judge, Randy Jackson.

The question is: Will the “dawg” be back for season 10?
“He is still under contract,” a source close to Jackson tells PEOPLE. “He’s a little fed up and torn with everything going on, but Randy is the kind of person who goes with the flow. He loves the show.”

So despite the shake-ups, Jackson is still on board – at least for now. “He wouldn’t stay somewhere he wasn’t happy,” the source adds.

The Grammy winning producer would love to continue his run on the show, says the source, but “he has a million other projects going on. Idol is a notch on his very accomplished belt.”
Meanwhile, FOX has kept mum about next season. On Monday, at the network’s presentation for the

Television Critics Association’s summer press tour, FOX entertainment chairman Peter Rice said cryptically, “No one has signed a deal yet on either side of the camera who wasn’t on the show last year. There are no specific deals with anybody.”
Jackson’s rep could not be reached for comment.

Tell us: Should Randy Jackson stay on American Idol?

She's kept fans guessing about pregnancy rumors – even coyly saying she was "just fat" – but Khloé Kardashian will soon be sporting a real baby bump if her husband gets his way.

"We would love to be able to raise children together," Lamar Odom told DIDNTINVITEME Monday at the Casio Shock the World event in New York City. "That's something that happens when you become a family. Hopefully it'll happen soon."

The reality star, 26, and NBA player, 30, are already stepmom and dad to Odom's two kids, Destiny and Lamar Jr., from a previous relationship, but they're still picking up some parenting tips from the Kardashian clan's newest member.

"[Mason] definitely gives us some insight, some practice," the Lakers forward and newly named Casio G-Shock brand ambassador says about his almost 8-month-old nephew. "[He] is a special little boy."

But for now, the couple is focused on their own relationship and looking forward to squeezing in some one-on-one time in the middle of their hectic summer schedules.

"People would be surprised about how we're big time homebodies," he says. "[We like to] just stay home, relax with a movie. Khloé loves champagne – and laughing."

It’s a girl for American Idol alum Tamyra Gray and her husband, Sam Watters!

The singer delivered daughter Sienna Marie on Saturday, July 17.

“We are overjoyed with the arrival of our little lady,” Gray, 30, tells DIDNTINVITEME. “I’ve never known love to this capacity. She smiles already and it just stills my heart.”

The couple decided upon their little girl’s name in quite the unique manner.

“We didn’t actually pick her name — she did,” says the new mom.

“I know it sounds weird, but back in February I had a dream where she told me her name. I shared my dream with Sam and we decided we’d wait and see. It took us eight hours after her birth to name her and at the end, we went with her suggestion.”

The couple, who wed in Italy in 2006, decided to wait until delivery to find out the sex of their baby, and it was actually Gray who got to make the official call. “Sam delivered her — with the help of a midwife — but he forgot to look to see what she was,” recalls the singer. “So I actually was able to make the discovery and announce it.”

Earlier this year, Watters, 39, a music producer and former Color Me Badd member, said he had a feeling that the baby was a boy. When they welcomed a little girl, “I couldn’t believe it,” he told DIDNTINVITEME this week. “I was overjoyed though.”

The same goes for mom. “I instinctively knew it was a girl but I never shared my feelings with anyone,” says Gray, who has also appeared on episodes of Boston Public. “Of course, when my feelings were confirmed I was over the moon. I will now have someone to share in my love of fairies and tea.”

MTV is going gaga for Lady Gaga. The reigning pop queen dominates the nominations for the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.


Gaga racks up a whopping 13 nods, including Best Pop Video, Best Female Video, and Video of the Year at the 27th annual show. She also claims bragging rights with the most nominations ever in a single VMA, as well as being the first female artist nominated for two different videos in the Video of the Year category for “Bad Romance” and “Telephone” featuring Beyoncé.

“I’m so honored for all the little monsters and self-professed freaks of the universe, to have more VMA nominations in a single year than any artist in MTV history. Ironically, I’m even more proud it’s an unlucky number; 13,” said Gaga. “A long time ago the world told me and my little monsters we would never be heard, together we changed the rules. God put me on Earth for three reasons: to make loud music, gay videos, and cause a damn raucous. Thank you MTV!”

Eminem follows his labelmate with eight nominations including Best Male Video and Video of the Year for “Not Afraid.” “Apparently MTV doesn’t care that I have two massive stadium shows on the other side of the country the day after the VMAs. F me, right?!?!,” joked Eminem about his co-headlining concerts with Jay-Z. “I mean, I’ll be there but don’t expect me to be nice about it.”

The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards will air live from the Nokia Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, September 12, at 9 p.m.

Those yearning to see Eminem and Rihanna’s on-screen chemistry won’t have to wait much longer. The highly-anticipated video for the superstars’ No. 1 collaboration has a premiere date.


The clip for “Love the Way You Lie,” the second single from Eminem’s chart-topping album Recovery, will debut Thursday night (Aug. 5) on MTV. “Got the new @Eminem video featuring Rihanna,” tweeted the MTV Jams account. “Very cinematic…Good shit! We’re premiering it too. This has been a good season for videos.”

Director Joseph Kahn finished editing the video on Monday and had one request of his viewers. “Watch it fully streamed, volume turned up, quiet room, turn off your phone. Thanks,” he wrote on Twitter.

In addition to Eminem and Rihanna, the blockbuster video also stars Hollywood hotshots Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan.

After lending her vocals to dozens of records and releasing her own albums with Floetry, Marsha Ambrosius goes at it alone on “Hope She Cheats on You (With a Basketball Player),” the first single off her forthcoming J Records debut Late Nights & Early Mornings, due October 26. Collaborations with Alicia Keys, Dre & Vidal, and Just Blaze are featured on the set.

The soulful songstress describes the mid-tempo record as “the reality of a bad break up.” She continues, “We wanna be decent human beings and say the right thing, you know, ‘I wish you well.’ But this is ‘Everything that could go wrong for him, I want it to because my ego is bruised and I’m acting out.’”

After serving 13 full days in a solitary cell, Lindsay Lohan was freed from a Lynwood, Calif., jail in the wee hours of Monday morning.

"She was released at 1:35 a.m.," Los Angeles Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said outside the jail. "She has been sent directly to her next destination, which is a treatment center. And she will now be under the supervision of the L.A. County probation department. This concludes her custody."

The actress had been serving a 90-day sentence for violating probation in a DUI case, but served a reduced sentence for good behavior and due to the sheriff's long-standing policy of releasing nonviolent offenders early because of severe overcrowding.

Lohan was expecting to serve her court-ordered three months in rehab at an Orange County, Calif., facility, but the judge in her case changed her mind last minute over the weekend.

"There was concern that [Morningside Recovery] was not a secure enough facility," District Attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison told PEOPLE. Robison added that Judge Marsha Revel was concerned that drugs could be easily passed onto the actress, and therefore approved of an undisclosed L.A.-area rehab center. The facility is at UCLA Medical Center.

If Lohan violates any rules during her treatment, the court could be notified and the judge could potentially throw her back in jail for violating probation, legal experts say.

She also faces a year of random drug testing. The actress must stay clean and sober until August 2011, when her probation term is over. She is, however, allowed to take a number of prescription medications.

On friday reported about Antoine Dodson of Huntsville, AL and that now famous interview from the break-in.  Now he's back and reacts to becoming overnight internet sensation in this second interview below. Really?

With a September 14th release, Trey Songz is back with his new LP. Will you be buying?

Lauryn Hill played for a crowd of more than 40,000 at the Festival Dos Oceanos 2010 in Lisbon, Portugal, on Saturday (July 31). The free concert, which also featured a set from Estelle, was to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Portuguese Republic.

After a medley of Fugees classics including “Ready or Not” and “Fu-Gee-La,” the braided-hair songstress delivered her own hits “Doo Wop (That Thing),” “Turn Your Lights Down Low,” and closed with “Killing Me Softly.”

Ms. Hill will return to the U.S. for the Rock the Bells Festival, which kicks off in Los Angeles on August 21. A previously unheard track called “Repercussions” leaked last month, causing some to wonder if the Grammy winner is about to stage a comeback.

There was no yacht or over-the-top festivities – just family and close friends as Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz tied the knot in a private ceremony Saturday in a private home on the Mediterranean Sea.

The bride wore a Grecian-inspired Vera Wang dress and carried a bouquet of purple calla lilies. The groom was decked out in a Tom Ford tuxedo. The couple's friend Dr. Deepak Chopra presided over the nuptials.

The couple, who are also expecting their first child together, have been together since fall 2008. They announced their engagement and baby news in May.

It's the first marriage for Keys, 29, and the couple's first child together: Beatz (real name: Kasseem Dean, 31) has two sons, Kasseem Jr., 3, and son Prince Nasir, 9, from previous relationships.

While the newlyweds don't know the gender of their baby, Beatz says the addition of another child will be nothing short of magical.

"Whatever we're blessed with, that baby is being born to blessed parents," he recently told DIDNTINVITEME. "Alicia is definitely one of those great parents-to-be. She's super ready. Super glowing. Super happy."

When one wedding just won't do, follow rapper T.I.'s lead. He wed his longtime partner Tameka "Tiny" Cottle in Miami Friday, only to have another ceremony Saturday.

With the legalities out of the way, T.I. (real name Clifford Harris), who wore a custom-made Prada tuxedo, and his bride exchanged vows in front of celebrity friends Chilli and Kandi from Real Housewives of Atlanta at Miami's Star Island on Saturday.

The newlyweds plan to fly Vegas and wrap up their wedding weekend with a third bash in Las Vegas on Sunday.


In nontraditional fashion, they traveled to Europe for their honeymoon last month before tying the knot.

The hip hop item dated off and on for eight years and have two children together. T.I., who is starring in Takers, has three kids from a previous relationship.
