Omarion celebrated his 26th birthday at Marbella Nightclub in Hollywood this past weekend. He rocked his favorite Louis Vuitton Evidence sunglasses ($625), a white dress shirt, denim jeans, with a pair of loafers. Omarion accessorized his look with a black bow tie, gold costume jewelery around his neck and wrist, and a red MCM belt. Do you like his look?

"Wait ... Did I just rock out with Bon Jovi tonight???"

Yes, Rihanna, you did! The red-haired singer Tweeted after she was the surprise addition to Bon Jovi's Madrid show Saturday night. She joined the veteran rockers for a rendition of their hit "Living on a Prayer" at an intimate gig in Madrid.

And, the New Jersey rockers didn't let the 1,000-strong crowd at Teatro Circo Price down with a set list including "Wanted Dead or Alive" and their new single "What Do You Got?"

"It was so beautiful. She sang great, she's a sweetheart of a girl. She's a big fan too. It was great," Jon Bon Jovi told our friends over @PEOPLE at the 17th MTV EMAs Sunday, also in the Spanish capital, where the band received the inaugural Global Icon award.

Performers slated for the show include Kings of Leon, Ke$ha, Kid Rock, Katy Perry and Linkin Park. 


Earlier Saturday, Jon Bon Jovi also talked about the band's award – and one of his favorite new artists. 


"If Elton John and Madonna had a baby it would be Lady Gaga. I've seen her perform at a number of events. She's a college-trained musician, a student and a fantastic 
performer," he said. 
"She gives it all that she's got. When she develops with time and continues to work on her sound, she is going to have a really bright future."

Perhaps that's why most rock stars wear shades.

Lady Gaga (Getty Images)Lady Gaga will get her own likeness in eight branches of the world famous Madame Tussauds wax museum. 

The singer's doppelgangers will be unveiled in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York City, Berlin, London, Amsterdam, Shanghai and Hong Kong on December 9th. 

Janine DiGioacchino, who oversees the branches in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York, told RadarOnline: "We're very excited about Lady Gaga's imminent arrival at Madame Tussauds New York, Madame Tussauds Las Vegas and Madame Tussauds Hollywood.

"All of the styles being worked on are classic Gaga and we're sure her fans will be delighted with the unique looks when we unveil the figures next month." 

The eight sculptures -- who will each wear a different outlandish outfit -- take four months to complete and are reported to have cost $2.4 million.

Don't mess with a Black woman getting her hair did.

When 19-year-old suspect Winston Cox, entered Sabine's Hallway Beauty Salon in Brooklyn, New York, little did he know that the nice lady getting her done was off-duty police officer Feris Jones, aka "Trick Shot Jones."

Cox reportedly entered the salon and ordered Jones and three other customers to put all their belongings in a bag and ordered them into the bathroom.

While in the bathroom, Officer Jones pulled out her revolver, gave the salon owner her cellphone to call 911 and stepped out of the bathroom to face the robber. After identifying herself, Cox still wouldn't relent, so "Trick Shot" did what she knows best: shoot. Five times.

One shot knocked the gun off Cox's hand and wounded his hand. He was later arrested and charged with robbery and attempted murder.

Meanwhile, Jones, a 20-year veteran of the NYPD, will be promoted to Detective. Kudos to Officer Jones.  Glad you didn'tinviteme, But Amazing job Officer Detective Jones!  More stories like this should be front page news,  and/or be featured on the news.  Say It!

“It’s better than I thought it would ever be,” Iman told our friends over @PEOPLE about joining the cast of the TV series, The Fashion Show: Ultimate Collection at WWD‘s milestone 100th Anniversary Party at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York on Tuesday night. The Somalian-born model explained, “It’s really actually about a fashion show. Not individual designers.” But Iman has already singled out one designer as a personal favorite, modeling a custom silk taffeta Victoria Beckham dress to the bash. “I love it,” the 55-year-old said to PEOPLE of the one-of-a-kind frock that Victoria whipped up for her friend. “I think she’s one of the best designers.” The ageless supermodel continued her Posh praise, enthusing “She’s no longer an emerging designer, she’s become a real designer.” One fashion icon who doesn’t have any input regarding Iman’s sartorial choices is her husband of 18 years, David Bowie. The 63-year-old British rocker hasn’t given or received fashion advice from his confident wife. “No neither, he’s very fashionable and so am I.”

David Cassidy, the teen heartthrob and pop singer of the 1970s, was arrested in Florida on a DUI charge.

According to the arrest report, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper spotted Cassidy’s white Mercedes driving erratically on the turnpike at 6 p.m. Wednesday. The report states that he crossed the center divider line, then cut off another driver while attempting to merge onto an exit ramp.

Police say they smelled alcohol on Cassidy’s breath, and he allegedly told them that he had a glass of wine at lunch and a hydrocodone tablet later in the afternoon.

The arrest report also says that Cassidy, a Ft. Lauderdale resident, was unsteady on his feet and failed several field sobriety tests. Officers said he later blew a .14 on a breath test, well above the legal limit in the state of Florida. Police say there was a half-full bottle of bourbon on the back seat of the vehicle.

The former Partridge Family star, 60, was charged with driving under the influence, failure to maintain a single lane and having an open container. He spent nine hours in the St. Lucie County jail before being released after posting $350 bail.

Mario is in the clear. After the singer’s mother claimed that he assaulted her last month, she’s changing her tune, saying he didn’t actually lay a finger on her and was on drugs when she reported the incident to the police.


Shawntia Hardaway, who previously battled a heroin addiction, took the stand yesterday and declared she was under the influence when she accused her son of pushing her against a wall and breaking objects in their Baltimore home.

The 2nd degree assault charge against Mario has been dropped, the Baltimore state attorney’s office told TMZ.

“I’m glad to be finally vindicated,” the 24-year-old tells UsMagazine.com. “I want to thank everyone who believed in me. I will continue to love and support my mother.”

The “Let Me Love You” hitmaker is back in the studio working on a new album for 2011 and will release a mixtape within the next month.

Jay-Z (Getty Images)Jay-Z thinks he could do a great job as the leader of America with the help of future First Lady Beyonce Knowles, but he won’t put himself forward for another few years.

He said: “Give me a chance. Maybe in eight years, I'll be the president.”

Although he wants to enter politics, Jay-Z insists he isn’t disappointed with current President Barack Obama, whose Democratic Party has suffered heavy losses in the US midterm elections.

He explained to BBC Newsbeat: “In order to judge someone, you have to judge what they inherit. He inherited the worst economy, war, just a horrible time in American history. So if we think he can solve that, I mean, we don't think he's God, do we?

"He's a human being. He's going to need time to figure that out.

"In order to get to that sort of success and that dream, you have to go through some peaks and valleys. It's been two years."

Jay-Z has met President Obama since he came to office and has dined with former leader Bill Clinton.

The hip-hop mogul (real name Shawn Carter) has previously admitted he finds it "mind-blowing" that American leaders even know who he is.

Jay-Z, who grew up in a tough area of New York, said: "It's unbelievable because it's so far away from where I come from. We were the kids who were ignored by every politician. We didn't have the numbers, the vote, to put anybody in office, because no matter who was in the office, we didn't think that it would affect change where we lived. So nobody went out and voted.

"For me, being with Obama or having dinner with Bill Clinton is crazy. It's mind-blowing, because where I come from is just another world. We were just ignored by politicians -- by America in general."

LeAnn Rimes (Getty Images)LeAnn Rimes says that while she has no regrets when looking back at her affair with Eddie Cibrian, she does feel it was out of character. 

"That's just not me. What happened is not who I am, period," said Rimes, talking to ABC's Robin Roberts in an interview scheduled to air Wednesday night. "I do know how much I love him. So, I've always said I don't live my life with regret. I can't."

She says that while both she and Cibrian were married, "it happens every day to so many people," she said. "You had two couples whose marriages didn't work who really stumbled upon each other and fell in love."

Eddie Cibrian echoed Rimes' sentiments. "The truth is that we're human beings," he said. "We make mistakes and we learn from them, but we're human. We fell in love."

Christina Aguilera with estranged husband Jordan Bratman. (Getty Images)Christina Aguilera filed for divorce from husband Jordan Bratman last month, and in a new interview she hints that she was looking for a change in her life before the split.

"My life is cyclical," she told Redbook. "I'm not a nine-to-five woman who has the same kind of lifestyle for years on end. I couldn't do it. I need the spontaneity, that thrill of change. That's part of how I get inspired."

The 29-year-old singer – who has a two-year-old son Max with her estranged husband – also revealed she couldn’t wait to get back into the studio to vent her emotions about her recent woes.

She said: “I want to pour my heart out and be able to release anything I'm going through”.

Meanwhile, Christina’s friend Nicole Richie has praised the singer as an “incredible” mother.

Nicole – who has daughter Harlow, two and 11-month-old son Sparrow with her rocker fiance Joel Madden – said she has enormous “respect” for the singer’s parenting skills.

She said: "It's very clear through Christina's music what a strong woman she is...But to watch her as a mother only skyrockets the respect I have for her. She is the woman who's recording until 4 a.m. and up at seven to be with her son. Her dedication to Max is incredible."

After discovering that her boyfriend is cheating on her, Fantasia kicks him to the curb and does her in the video for “I’m Doin’ Me,” the second single off her third album Back to Me. The independent woman rounds up her girls and sings away her blues at a diner and in the park in the Benny Boom-directed clip. But don’t feel too sorry for Tasia, new love is lurking just around the corner.

Two days after he checked back into prison, T.I. unveils the video for “Get Back Up” featuring his Takers co-star Chris Brown. The two perform side by side in the emotional clip, which includes footage of Tip and his wife Tiny along with everyday people acting out his lyrics. Feel the King’s pain and look out for his new album No Mercy, which now has a December 7 drop date.

With baby on board, Mariah Carey made an appearance on Tuesday’s episode of “Lopez Tonight.” The merry songstress said that her husband Nick Cannon is trying to convince her to wear flat shoes. “My feet repel that,” said Mimi, who showed off the boots she’ll soon be selling on HSN.

She also dished about her sleeping habits, diva dogs, how she celebrated Christmas growing up, and recording with her opera singer mother.

George Lopez even presented MC with a legacy video (“I’ve already arranged for you to be married off to Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s unborn baby”) and fake ultrasound footage. Share in the laughs below:



Lil Wayne has held the title as the only musician to sell more than a million copies in his first week since Tha Carter III hit shelves in 2008, but he’s forfeited his crown to Taylor Swift.

The country-pop star’s newest album Speak Now debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart this week, selling a staggering 1,047,000 copies, the largest sales week since 50 Cent’s The Massacre moved 1,141,000 units in March 2005.

Swift not only joined the milli club, but she also earned the second-largest sales week of a country album since 1991. Garth Brooks is the only artist since then to cross the seven-figure mark, selling 1,085,000 copies of his 1998 album Double Live in its opening week.

That's a good look Taylor, now let's see Kanye try to snatch this title out her hand! Guess we have to wait until his album is released in Dec. Say It!

Relaxed, smiling and playful – that's the image of Michael Jackson's three children captured in a candid photo taken during Oprah Winfrey's visit to the Jacksons' Encino, Calif., home last month.

Prince, 13, and Paris, 12, are seen smiling as Paris reaches out to Blanket, 8, who is curled up in a lawn chair in the backyard of the home, while Winfrey and the children's grandparents, Katherine and Joe Jackson, are seated across the table.

The talk-show host was there to interview Katherine about Michael's childhood, his career, his children and his legacy a year and a half after the pop legend's untimely death at age 50.

That interview is scheduled to air on The Oprah Winfrey Show Monday, Nov. 8.

Despite making many a public show of affection, Janet Jackson and billionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana have remained tight-lipped about the nature of their relationship. That us until now.

Middle Eastern Al Mana recently opened up to VMAN magazine about his and Jackson’s status, his business affairs, and more. Certainly an interesting read.

On his relationship with Janet Jackson:

“I don’t date Janet Jackson. She is my girlfriend; there is a difference. She is a very special and talented woman who never ceases to amaze me.”

On his busy work schedule:

“I head the retail division [of the Qatar-based family empire, Al Mana Group]. I oversee new developments and I’m constantly working on interesting projects, one of them in design. I’m also pursuing an art project, and i’m involved in several charities.”

On working with Giorgio Armani:

“Mr. Armani is down-to-earth, very kind, and someone I admire for creating one of the largest luxury brands in the world from scratch.”

Halle Berry was seen arriving with her daughter at a grocery store in Beverly Hills wearing a New Peace Poncho Sweater ($168) from the LA brand Wildfox Couture. This cream colored poncho style sweater hoodie is oversized by design and features a peace symbol on the front. What do you think about her look?


Kye Allums is about to become the first openly trans person to play NCAA Division 1 basketball. And while his life hasn't always been easy, a lot of people could learn from his story.
According to Cyd Zeigler of Outsports, Allums was born a girl, but often preferred to identify and dress as a boy. His mom wasn't always supportive. Allums recalls, I've always felt most comfortable dressing like a boy, but my mom would take all of my clothes from me and she'd force me to wear girl clothes. I'd bring sweats and basketball shorts and put them in my backpack. I'd just change every day when I got to school, and I had to change back before I went home. It was annoying, but it was the only way I could go to school.

But it was a text from his mom that sparked an epiphany — his mom wrote "Who do you think you are, young lady?" and he realized "He wasn't a young lady at all." Says Allums,
I used to feel like trans anything was really weird and those people were crazy, and I wondered, ‘How can you feel like that?' But I looked it up on the Internet and I thought, ‘Oh my god, I'm one of those weird people.' And I realized they're not weird. It's all in your mindset and how you think.
When Allums told his (female) teammates about his gender, they initially made jokes. But then they began to take him seriously. Says one, We were all just talking, a bunch of teammates, and he said that he's a guy. At first I didn't understand, and then he explained that sex is how you're born and gender is how you identify yourself. Then I started to understand.

Allums was especially concerned about his coach Mike Bozeman's reaction, because of comments the coach had made about religion. And while the conversation started off tense, Bozeman ultimately said,
Why would you think I wouldn't have your back? I've had your back through everything. Our relationship has grown from nothing to this, and now you think I'd just turn my back on you because you told me this? No. I love you and I'll always be here for you.

Allums has faced some obstacles — one opposing coach said, anonymously, that "he might have a problem if a team in his conference had a player who identified themselves as a man." But his team's reaction is instructive — even though transphobia still runs rampant in some circles, we also shouldn't underestimate the ability of young athletes to accept a trans teammate. The report On the Team provides guidelines for encouraging participation of trans athletes, including a section on hormone therapy, which Allums is forgoing in order to continue playing on the women's team. It also says, "Transgender young people have the same right to participate and benefit from the positive aspects of athletics as other students do." Allums, his team, and his coach have recognized this — it's time for everyone else involved in college sports to do so as well.


Kanye West attended the 14th Annual ACE Awards presented by the Accessories Council in New York City. At the event he was awarded 2010 Stylemaker of the Year for his style and influence on fashion. Last year’s winner was the always fashionable Lady Gaga. Do you agree with ACE awarding Kanye Stylemaker of the Year?

Kanye West ACE Award Acceptance Speech


“The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, “What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?” And, “How does creativity apply across the board?” Why, if someone is good in one field can they not be accepted or given the slightest opportunity to express and be creative in other fields? I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, “You’re finished. The shoe’s finished.” When it was ready it was like the dream of putting together the fabric and having the energy that I knew of being a street kid, of being a boy out of Chicago, and enjoying every day and the way I can connect with this. It’s like, you can’t play the video game anymore. And that’s what it’s about. So many people in this room, they can’t even go on vacation without being creative. They can’t sit on the beach, they have to create constantly. And that’s how I feel with this album coming out.


I feel convicted. I feel a level of honesty. I feel a level of truth. I feel like a 5-year old. I feel like I’m getting closer to the 5-year-old inside of me and I feel like I have to represent that 5-year-old, even, even at the risk of my public … Maybe I can’t find the words right now, but we know what it is. Some people hate me. But nonetheless, my biggest moments, my biggest Internet-crashing moments were the opinion of a 5-year-old. The opinion of a 5-year-old, the spirit of a 5-year-old with the responsibility of a 100-year old. Where the truth will set you free or the truth will close doors. What compromises do we have to make? How many compromises do we have to make every day in this field just to keep things going? Just to be able to sell a product?


And looking at my project now versus Graduation, and look at what’s happening — what is the impact? What is the impact of last year? What did it have on me? Years from now, hundreds of years from now, what will be written in the history books? If you want to just understand how much I care, how selfless I am, how much I could give … For this to be the fifteen-year anniversary and for me to stand up here and be the first male to be honored for an influencer award or to be even recognized, because I sit back and as I say, “Let’s have a toast for the douchebags” … Fashion breaks my heart.


You know, when they do a magazine of No. 1 New Yorkers or something like that and I’m blatantly left out, I feel like … It hurts me. And I just appreciate the people in this room that are open-minded enough to remember when they were a 5-year-old. To remember when they could color outside the lines, to remember when they could give their opinion honestly without affecting their job, without it affecting their well-being. Or their kids having to go to the same school because they’re convicted about what they really, really believe. I thought that’s what true art was. I thought that’s what a true artist was. And to be able to stand up here in front of you guys and be recognized after all of this means a lot to me, and it means a lot for me to say this right now. Convicted right now. Thirty-three-years-old, still creating art. It’s rage, it’s creativity, it’s pain, it’s hurt, but it’s the opportunity to still have my voice get out there through music. To let my pain hit the radio and thank you for this moment of acceptance.”

Kim Kardashian might be laying off the high heels for a while -- she's nursing a broken toe! The reality star tweeted that she bailed in her hotel room and has been eating chocolate to make her feel better.

Kim Kardashian (Photo Agency)She wrote on her Twitter page: “I knew my clumsiness would catch up with me at some point! I tripped on a suit case on the floor and broke my toe :-( (sic)”

Even after a night’s sleep Kim’s toe is still hurting her but is on the mend. She added in another tweet: “Woke up today with my toe an unusual shade of purple! At least it feels better!”

Hotel staff have been trying to cheer her up by feeding her up with chocolate. In other posts she wrote: “Thank you hotel staff for the little chocolate snack on my pillow! Turn down service is everything! Sometimes milk chocolate makes everything better!”

Meanwhile, Kim is launching a pop career. The 30-year-old beauty has been in the studio with The Dream to work on some tracks in New York City. A source said: “They're working on some fun music.”
