Angelina Jolie is perfectly accessorized on the red carpet, whether she’s wearing dainty earrings or statement-making gems. And now, the actress will always have something to pair with her pretty dresses thanks to her new jewelry line, Style of Jolie. The collection, which she designed over the course of the last nine months with jeweler Robert Procop, is currently on display by invitation only at Julien’s Gallery in Beverly Hills, but we have a sneak peek! In the clip above, Procop says the line is made of “artistic forms using gemstones as a centerpiece.” And there are already celebrity fans: Robert Downey Jr.’s wife, Susan, wore earrings from the collection at the Oscars in February. Though Jolie won’t be on hand to showcase her jewels, proceeds from the exhibition will benefit Children in Crisis, the charity of her choice. Check out some of Jolie’s gems in the clip above!

Sade lets the orchestra do the talking on the previously unreleased “Love Is Found,” one of four new songs included on the band’s two-disc offering The Ultimate Collection, due May 3. Introduced by an emotive string section, the song unfurls into a sinister, electric guitar-powered jam, with the British songbird discovering love. “I got the radio on/ I know it won’t be long/ I can hear you baby/ I can feel your sound/ I’m getting closer now,” she allures.

With less than a month to go before he becomes a father, Nick Cannon pens a letter to his unborn children on “Pearls,” another release from his forthcoming mixtape Child of the Corn. The anxious dad-to-be cautions his twins of the burdens that come with being born into a family with famous parents.

“They gon’ hate your skin tone, hate your income, hate your homes, and even hate on your moms,” he warns on the personal tune, which samples Sade’s “Pearls.” He tells his daughter to “be careful,” but advises his son to go “hard in the paint.”

Listen as Nick shares his words of wisdom.

Us Magazine reports that Pia Toscano has already signed a record deal, just a few days after being eliminated from American Idol. And she didn’t sign a record deal with just anyone — the 22-year old struck a deal with Jimmy Iovine and Interscope. You know, the same label that signs the eventual winner of Idol. Did they just give away the show’s main prize?


Earlier this season, ousted tearjerker contestant Chris Medina (the same one who made J-Lo cry when she had to tell him he wasn’t going through to the Top 24) worked with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins to record a single, “What Are Words.” But Toscano’s deal, with Interscope and Idol mentor Iovine specifically, is exactly what the Season 10 champ would get — and she didn’t even have to win.

“Pia is being signed to a deal with Interscope Records who are rushing her into the studio to record an album ASAP,” a source tells Us. “Starting [Thursday] night after the show, Interscope told her they wanted her and first thing [Friday] morning Interscope brass started calling every top songwriter and producer in town to get an album together and rush release it.”

Though we don’t expect every eliminated Idol contestant to fade into obscurity — may we remind you that Jennifer Hudson and Chris Daughtry didn’t win the competition and are doing just fine — never has there been a finalist pick up a record deal with a major label while the season was still in process.

We blame the current strategy to strike not only while the iron is hot, but boiling. For example, Greyson Chance’s video of him performing “Paparazzi” went viral on a Tuesday. He had a record deal two weeks later. His lead single came out six months later, and he’s now off on tour — less than a year after he was discovered. Youngsters Rebecca Black and Savannah Robinson (the pint-sized powerhouse who had a diva-off with Jennifer Hudson) also scored record deals almost instantaneously.

But since Pia’s tunes are now being rushed out, it’s entirely possible she could have a hit song before this season of American Idol is even over. Doesn’t that take away from the whole point of Idol — win this show, and get something extremely difficult for an aspiring musician to obtain? Except it doesn’t seem all that difficult anymore, does it?

Then again, record deal or not, Pia may not be allowed to release any new music at all. “When you compete on Idol, you must sign one of the strictest contracts in the business,” a former contestant tells PopEater. “Not only does Idol own you for the entire show and live tour that follows, it also controls everything you can do professionally for a long period after that.”

“No way do the producers want a contestant who was kicked off having a hit record when the winner hasn’t even been announced yet,” say another former contestant. “This is about protecting the brand, not about protecting Pia. She can record as many songs as she wants, but Idol will refuse to allow them to be released for now until the show is over.”

Prince has revealed his first set of concert dates for his Los Angeles residency-style Welcome 2 America tour, which he’s calling his “21-Night Stand”. The Purple One and his pals (not yet announced) will perform at The Forum on April 14, April 21 and April 22, with the first batch of tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10am. And in case you think it may break the bank to go see some pop royalty rock the stage, at least 85% of tickets will be made available only for $25. Including service fees! Wow!

The Jersey Shore crew go for a stroll. (Bauer Griffin)Life just got a lot more green for the guidos and guidettes of everyone's favorite Jersey Shore. Entertainment Weekly isreporting that the main members of the cast will be paid $100,000 per episode this coming season -- giving the reality stars enough money to buy their own personal in-house tanning salons, as well as a lifetime supply of hair spray and other cosmetic essentials. 

Compared to their Season 2 wages, this year's salary bump is enormous. Last year they were only getting $10,000 per episode on MTV's hit show. Not that the cast was struggling financially. Members of the house cashed in on lucrative endorsement deals, as well as public speaking offers -- Nicole "Snooki" Polozzi got paid $32,000 to speak at Rutgers University in New Jersey just last month. 

Season 3 of Jersey Shore will begin filming in May and is being shot on location in Italy... as if anyone would ever want to be paid a million dollars to live and party in Europe. 

Tori Spelling (Getty Images)Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are expanding their family -- again! The couple is expecting their third baby, as announced on Twitter today.

The former 90210 star tweeted: "I know there's been a lot of speculation, so I wanted everyone to hear from me. it's official. Dean & I are PREGNANT!!!!"

The 37-year-old blonde actress and actor Dean, 44, already have son Liam, four, and two-year-old daughter Stella.

They have been married for almost five years and are currently starring in reality TV showsTORIbook Weddings, in which they give advice to couples who are about to walk down the aisle. Maybe now they'll have to do the same for expectant parents -- they will certainly have the experience after this! 

It's no real surprise that the actress is prego again. She previously said: "We have our perfect family - a little boy and now a girl, so we're blessed. But we love having babies so I will have more."

Keri Hilson seems to have lost control of her clothes in her photo shoot for the latest issue of Allure magazine. The “Pretty Girl Rock” singer flaunts her pretty perfect figure for the mag’s Body Issue. Past pop stars to pose for the annual issue include Kelly Rowland and Jill Scott. Check out the body-baring pic from what we assume was a No Boys Allowed (except for photographer Patrick Demarchelier) set.

In episode 41 of “Gagavision,” Lady Gaga confronts a protester outside her “Monster Ball” show in Anaheim, Calif. During their intense dialogue, the man tells the pop superstar that she and her Little Monsters are going to hell and hands her a “Get Out of Hell Free Card.”

“It’s gonna happen one day, darlin’,” he taunts before a cordial Gaga responds, “We really believe in God at my show.” But he fires back, saying, “Your pervert ways don’t quite equate to what God is all about. … You know, the homo stuff.”

After the heated exchange, Gaga showed footage of the rehearsals for her “Judas” video, shot over the weekend with director/choreographer Laurieann Gibson. The RedOne-produced record, which serves as the second single from her upcoming album Born This Way, will debut on April 19.

Ester Dean has penned tracks for everyone from Rihanna and Nicki Minaj to Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, but her songs don’t always end up where they’re supposed to. Her 2009 solo smash, “Drop It Low” featuring Chris Brown, was originally intended for another R&B songstress.


“‘Drop It Low,’ honestly, was for Ciara, but she didn’t come get the song. And then Britney [Spears] wanted it,” the hitmaker told the Los Angeles Times. “During the demo [Polow Da Don] kept telling me, ‘You’ve gotta believe it’ as I was singing it. A week later he asked if I wanted to hear my new single.”

The 24-year-old singer-songwriter is parlaying the single’s success into her upcoming debut, with songs like the Euro-flavored “Gimme Money” and pop ballad “Hero” already in the can. But if another artist happens to come along and like what she’s got, she isn’t averse to passing off a hit.

“Look, these songs are for me, but I ain’t stupid,” she explained. “If somebody wants them, they can have them.”

Dean is currently seeing success on the chart with songwriting credits on Rihanna’s “S&M” and “What’s My Name?” as well as Katy Perry’s “Firework.”

Looks like Angelina Jolie's new ink may be for partner Brad Pitt rather than a new baby.

Jolie's latest tattoo led to much speculation Tuesday, but a source tells DIDNTINVITEME that she has no plans to adopt.

Perhaps the tattoo is in honor of the father of her children instead?

The actress recently revealed a new set of map coordinates on her arm, just underneath tattoos of coordinates of the birthplaces of her six children. The seventh line of coordinates begins with the latitude N 35°10'44". While the longitude is obscured, it appears to be 96°56'34," likely reflecting Pitt's birthplace in Shawnee, Okla.

Mariah Carey is about to give birth, but before she brings her twins into the world, the pop diva is posing nude for Life & Style. A glowing Mimi bares her pregnant belly on the magazine’s cover.


“I was feeling very vulnerable about taking pictures at all right now, but then I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to document this once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Mariah tells Life & Style. “My ultimate goal was to share this incredibly personal moment with my true fans.”

The boy and girl are not due for another few weeks, but they are eager to meet their parents. “The babies were kicking almost the entire time; it was unbelievable,” she shares. “Especially the girl—clearly she’s a diva in training! We didn’t start shooting until 1:30 a.m. because I was in the hospital from the night before until the day of the shoot with contractions five minutes apart!”

Her doting husband Nick Cannon is singing his wife’s praises. “I thought I couldn’t love Mariah more,” he gushes. “But I have a whole new appreciation and admiration for her.”

The mom-to-be adds, “Now I have so much respect for mothers everywhere, especially those who’ve had difficult pregnancies or given birth to multiples. We need to have Mother’s Day once a week!”

Game grabbed a seat next to Keri Hilson as they made the long trek to Australia. The labelmates smiled for a TwitPic on the plane before taking off from LAX. “15 hr flt & she gone be singin the whole way.. STAY TUNED,” tweeted the red-haired rapper, who was fresh off a 24-hour shoot for his “Red Nation” video.

They will both perform at Supafest 2011 along with Nelly, Snoop Dogg, Ciara, Timbaland, T-Pain, Busta Rhymes, Bow Wow, and more. The four-date urban music festival takes place in Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, and Melbourne, and is expected to draw over 100,000 people.

Game and Keri would make a cute couple, don’t you think?

Following up his “One Night Stand” with Keri Hilson, Chris Brown is giving props to all the ladies of the stripper pole with his “Spend It All” video. The clip comes with the warning “All you nasty’z must be 18 years or older to view this” before chart-topping Breezy himself appears at the beginning and says, “I always like to do all kinds of music. So now I gotta give y’all the strip club record. So I would advise 18 and up to watch this.” In other words, “Spend It All” is NSFW.

The booty-filled vid is comprised of live footage of a shirtless Brown in concert, scenes of him running around in front of graffiti-covered buildings and, of course, strippers doing their thing. Repeatedly. And with many cheap camera effects being used while they bounce.

“Spend It All” probably won’t be winning Chris any MTV VMAs anytime soon. But, at the very least, it should serve as a nice addition to his soft porn collection.

Janet Jackson is about to make history in the city of love.

Miss Jackson will be the first female pop artist to EVER perform under the I.M.Pei glass Pyramid at Paris’ famed Louvre Museum, for their biannual fundraising event, “Liaisons au Louvre.”

“The President of the museum said, “Janet Jackson is one of the world’s greatest artistic treasures. Accordingly, we are profoundly honored, and believe it most fitting, that her performance in the Louvre Museum will be yet another masterpiece captured under our glorious glass Pyramid. I believe the evening with Janet Jackson will be a great ‘coup’ for our institution!”

Janet herself was just as flattered, saying, “The Louvre and its stunning glass Pyramid are equaled only by the priceless treasures that are housed within its impressive walls. It is an honor to be asked to participate in such an incredible evening at this historic location. ‘Liaisons au Louvre’ will be an unequaled event, raising much needed funds for this institution and the preservation of art that moves the soul.”

A white-hot Toni Braxton, along with her four sisters and mother, dazzled on the pink carpet at the premiere of their WE tv docu-series “Braxton Family Values” at The London West Hollywood on Wednesday (April 6). The ladies, including Tamar, Evelyn, Traci, Towanda, and Trina, chatted with the press and posed for the flashing cameras.

The reality program, which premieres April 12, gives viewers an inside look at the tight-knit family’s lives as they face drama including sibling rivalry, relationship struggles, bankruptcy, and a DUI.

Toni was hesitant about doing the show at first, but gave in after convincing from her youngest sister Tamar. “She said you should tell your story because they know you as an artist, but they don’t know you as a sister and a mom and a friend, and you should expose that side,” she told “Access Hollywood.”

Super-producer Jerry “Wonda” Duplessis has lent his Midas touch to records for the Fugees, Whitney Houston, and Shakira. But for his next high-profile project, he’s taking it back to the beginning.


The Haitian musician has a heavy hand in Mary J. Blige’s 10th studio album My Life II: The Journey Continues, having already helmed the lead single “Someone to Love Me (Naked)” featuring Diddy and Lil Wayne, as well as four or five other songs including the follow-up single. While recording a sequel to the 1994 classic could be daunting, the Grammy-winning producer is teeming with excitement over what they’ve already laid down.

“It’s like My Life, but with a 2011 sound to it,” he told Rap-Up.com. “Everything is all lovely with a hard bottom, but very melodic, clean music. You know Mary, she always comes with bangers. That’s why she called this one My Life II.”

Wonda, who is also working with Justin Bieber, Estelle, Melanie Fiona, John Legend, and Alicia Keys on their forthcoming LPs, originally produced the beat for “Someone to Love Me” for Diddy-Dirty Money’s Last Train to Paris, but passed it off to the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul after the Bad Boy mogul gave her his blessing.

“I just played the record. Mary was like, ‘Hold up! That’s my record!’ You know those two. They’re like brothers and sisters,” he said. “Puff came through Platinum Sounds—that’s where I’m at—and Mary’s like, ‘I need this record.’ Puff was like, ‘Yo, that’s it! You want it, no problem mama. Let’s go!’”

MJB decided to tack on a verse from Weezy and rename the tune to suit her mood. “The reason she called it ‘Naked’ was because she was like, ‘I’m just going to let it out, whatever’s inside of me,’” continued Wonda, who worked with Swizz Beatz on a few tracks for Mary. “That’s the record, my God! Everybody’s talking about it.”

With My Life II landing in stores in September, Wonda is currently focused on his upcoming projects, with credits as executive producer on Musiq Soulchild’s MusiqInTheMagiq and producer on Akon’s forthcoming single.

We’ve always loved Gwen Stefani‘s immaculate makeup: the signature bright red lips, those luscious long lashes. So it’s no surprise to hear that the singing star learned the tricks of the trade at a young age. “I started in seventh grade,” Stefani shares in the latest issue of ELLE. “We had home economics, and they’d bring someone in to show you how to put your makeup on.” And her studies in cosmetology continued through college, where she majored in art. “I can draw and paint. That’s my background,” she explains. When touring solo, or with her No Doubt bandmates, the L’Oreal Paris spokesmodel does all her own stage makeup. “I learn from makeup people now, but in the past I had a real problem with makeup artists,” Stefani admits. “I remember my first experience with a makeup artist was doing the first No Doubt album, the one that was shelved. Go back and look at how ugly I look. It is the worst makeup … From that time on, I’m thinking, I’m not going to let someone do my makeup, because they don’t know how to do it.” She’s happy to let hair stylists work their magic, though. “For the last couple tours I’ve had hair people, which is the luxury of my life,” she says. “I’m like, ‘Why did I do it myself this whole time?’” And in an industry where looks mean everything, Stefani isn’t ashamed to admit she cares about her ultra-glam outward appearance. “I mean, I’m very vain. That would be my middle name,” she says. “Of course I am, you know what I mean? I love the visual.” For more on Stefani and other women in music, visit ELLE.com or pick up the May issue of ELLE, on newsstands April 12.

Tina Fey has some big news to talk about!

During a taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show Wednesday, Fey revealed that she's expecting her second child.

The 30 Rock star is five months along, her rep confirms to DIDNTINVITEME. Fey and her husband, composer Jeff Richmond, also have a 5 ½-year-old daughter, Alice.

Fey, 40, shared the news during an appearance to promote her new book, Bossypants, and an upcoming Saturday Night Live reunion. Oprah's chat with Fey is scheduled to air April 12.

Ashley Judd (Getty)Ashley Judd explores the darkest moments of her childhood in her just-released memoir All That Is Bitter & Sweet—and, from the sound of it, the actress is not particularly complimentary of mom Naomi Judd's parenting skills.

"My mother, while she was transforming herself into the country legend Naomi Judd, created an origin myth for the Judds that did not match my reality," Ashley wrote in an excerpt published to RadarOnline. "She and my sister [singer Wynonna] have been quoted as saying that our family put the 'fun' in dysfunction. I wondered: Who, exactly, was having all the fun? What was I missing?"

Among Ashley's painful revelations: After her parents' divorce, Naomi invited a "full-blown heroin addict with a criminal record" into their home. She also suffered sexual abuse at the hands of a stranger.

"I was taught to believe that our lifestyle was normal and never to question it or complain, even when I was left alone for hours, sometimes days at a time, or when I was passed without warning to yet another relative," Ashley wrote.

Charlie's #1 in Cleveland (Pacific Coast News)First came boos, then came applause - now Charlie Sheen's receiving a full on standing ovation! After struggling mightily in his first live performance in Detroit a week ago, Sheen left the stage in Cleveland last night to a roar of approval.

Performing again with the help of a "moderator," TMZ reports that Sheen took the stage wearing a Cleveland Indians jersey, sending the partisan crowd into rapture, while making Charlie's failure in Detroit seem a thing of the past. In case that city of sky-high crime rates and soaring unemployment needed more coddling, the Sheenster's fans were there to help, chanting "F**K Detroit!"

Despite the crowd's approval, there were a handful of hecklers on hand, not that they posed a problem to Sheen. He sarcastically replied to one: "Leave already, I've got your money!" 

It's not all together surprising that Sheen found such praise in Cleveland, as the actor made a name for himself playing the loveable, bad-ass pitcher for the Cleveland Indians in "Major League." Is Sheen's grand slam in Cleveland a sign of things to come? 

LeBron James's mother, Gloria, was arrested early Thursday after an alleged altercation at the Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach.

"There was an incident involving Mrs. Gloria James and an employee of our valet parking provider while she was exiting the hotel early Thursday morning," a spokesperson for Fontainebleau Miami Beach, said in a statement. (Lebron, meanwhile, had a game that night.)

According to a source on the scene, Gloria and some girlfriends came to party at club LIV at the Fontainebleau, where she was being "sweet as pie" during the the night out. When it came time to leave around 5 a.m., a security guard escorted her to the valet area to collect her car. The escort was not because she was behaving badly, the source says, but because it's a Fontainebleau policy to provide their VIP guests with an escort.

"When Gloria went to get in her car, she said she couldn't find her keys which she was told were in the car," the source tells DIDNTINVITEME "She got angry quickly and swung her bag at the valet person who brought the car."

But her aim was off, and Gloria missed the valet with her bag, the source says, so she slapped his face a minute later. That's when, the source says, the police were called, and Gloria was taken into custody early Thursday morning.

The Miami Beach Police Department processed James and charged her with simple battery and disorderly intoxication. The Miami Herald first reported that she would likely face a misdemeanor assault charge.

The Herald also says Gloria James has been in trouble with the law before, having faced a DUI charge in Ohio in 2006.

Gloria raised LeBron, 26, an NBA star, as a single mother. He sports a "Queen James" tattoo in her honor and has described her as a strong-willed woman who kept him humble in the wake of his super stardom.

"She doesn't hold her tongue," he told GQ last year. "If she sees something that she believes isn't right or is right, she's going to speak about it."

The I Am Music II tour is currently trekking through Florida, and Nicki Minaj decided to make it ladies’ night in Orlando last night. Minaj invited both a male and a female fan on stage, with the idea that one of them would receive a lap dance from the Elle Women In Music featured artist. “Should I give it to the girl or the boy?” the be-wigged MC asked the audience. And, come on—you know which one they went for. Watch things get girlie at Orlando’s Amway Center below.

Bow Wow throws a bone to the ladies on “She Got It Goin’,” a potential cut from his Cash Money debut. Over a synth-splotched mid-tempo beat, the 24-year-old rapper showers his girl with lavish gifts, bragging about his bedroom game on the romantic tune. “Anything she want, she know daddy’ll get it/ Screamin’ out my name, every time I hit it,” he rhymes. Listen to him gush below.
