Monica celebrated her brand new reality show “Still Standing” (kicking off tomorrow on BET) at a party last night in Atlanta at Bocado restaurant. She was also celebrating her 29th birthday and her new Upscale magazine cover:

Amy Winehouse showed off her new boobs during an appearance at London’s Q Awards on Monday (Oct. 26). While her new assets were on prominent display, Winehouse was M.I.A. when it came to presenting an award to ska-rock band The Specials. She showed up later during their acceptance speech.

Amy’s father, Mitch Winehouse, is one proud papa, saying this when asked how his daughter was doing: “Fantastic, fantastic. Her boobs are great as well. I shouldn’t have said that, should I? She looks absolutely fantastic.”

It was Taylor times two on Sunday when Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift were spotted together attending a hockey game in L.A.

Both in chic black, Lautner, 17, and Swift, 19 – who are costarring in the movie Valentine's Day together – attended the game between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Los Angeles Kings at the Staples Center.

Earlier in the day, the country singer and her driver picked up the Twilight hunk at Los Angeles airport before heading to the game.

After catching some hockey, the costars were seen in the lobby of a hotel in Beverly Hills. "Taylor Swift was all dolled up and looked super pretty," an eyewitness tells DIDNTINVITEME. "She didn't seem to mind the attention … Taylor Lautner, on the other hand, was hiding under a hoody."

The costars closeness doesn't come as a surprise to anyone who saw Swift give Lautner a very special hug at her concert in Chicago a couple weeks ago.

Reps for both did not immediately return calls for comment.

Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” film isn’t out until Wednesday, but already, one of the late pop star’s best friends has branded it a masterpiece.

On Monday, Elizabeth Taylor spent around 40 minutes posting dozens of messages on her Twitter account, raving about the film, which she saw last week during a private screening on the Sony lot in Los Angeles.

The film legend called “This Is It” — a movie put together from the rehearsal footage of what would have been the July 2009 concert series of the same name — “brilliant.”

“It is the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking I have ever seen,” Taylor, who has starred in hugely lauded films, including “Cleopatra,” “Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Wolf,” “Cat On A Hot Tin Roof” and “Suddenly, Last Summer,” wrote. “It cements forever Michael’s genius in every aspect of creativity.

“To say the man is a genius is an understatement,” she continued in another post. “He cradles each note, coaxes the music to depths beyond reality.”

Taylor, who was greatly saddened by Jackson’s passing on June 25 at the age of 50 from acute Propofol intoxication, wrote that the film brought her to happy tears.

“I wept from pure joy at his God given gift. There will never, ever be the likes of him again,” she Tweeted. “And we have this piece of film to remind us forever and ever that once there was such a man. God kissed him.”

In her posts, Taylor referred to Jackson’s lyrics as “those of a modern day prophet,” and suggested people should listen to songs like “Man In The Mirror” and “take his words of responsibility seriously.”

Taylor, herself a two-time Oscar winner, suggested the film should be “nominated in every category conceivable.”

And the 77-year-old also suggested everyone should see the film.

“You owe it to yourselves and your loved ones to see this again and again. Memorize it and say to yourselves, ‘I saw genius in my lifetime,’” she wrote. “I loved genius in my lifetime. God was so good to me. I will love Michael forever and so will you, if you don’t already.”

Before wrapping up her postings, she urged people to remember Jackson and his message of “love.”

“We cannot let his life be in vain / and always done with love,” she wrote.

Guess which team they're rooting for!

New York natives Jay-Z and Alicia Keys will perform their hit single "Empire State of Mind" before game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium in New York. Following their duet, Keys will perform the National Anthem.

"As a die-hard Yankee fan, I'm honored to perform a song that celebrates the greatness of New York in one of our city's most important landmarks, Yankee Stadium," Jay-Z said in a statement Monday.

The New York Yankees will face off against the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series, which will air on Fox (7:30 p.m. ET)

They may not have escaped on a honeymoon yet – but Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are still celebrating their recent nuptials. On Saturday, the duo got new tattoos of each other's initials, the reality star writes in a new blog post.

"When we were at dinner, I just knew I wanted a tattoo for Lamar in the web of my hand," Kardashian writes in the post. "Once we got to the shop we decided on getting each other's initials. I got "LO" in cursive on my right hand and he got "KO" on both hands."

Kardashian, who already has "I love you" tattooed in her father's handwriting on her wrist and a cross and angel wings with the word "father" written above it tattooed on her back, says the new ink is especially meaningful since it "symbolizes something or someone that is important to you."

The American Music Awards are about to get another boost of star power. Rihanna has been added to the lineup for the 2009 AMAs.

Rihanna has performed twice on the show in the past and won three awards, including Favorite Soul/R&B Female Artist and Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist.

Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, Black Eyed Peas, and Taylor Swift have previously been announced as performers. The AMAs will broadcast live from Los Angeles’ NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE on Sunday, November 22, at 8 p.m. EST/PST on ABC.

Kelly Rowland has been in and out of the studio prepping her first album since parting ways with Columbia Records and Mathew Knowles’ Music World Entertainment earlier this year. One of today’s most sought-after hitmakers, Rico Love, spoke to Rap-Up.com about his involvement with the Destiny’s Child alum’s third solo album.


“I’m actually going to be doing the majority of her record,” reveals the songwriter behind Beyoncé’s “Sweet Dreams” and Mario’s “Thinkin’ About You.” “I did three records for her album so far and she’s touring right now.”

The host of Bravo’s “The Fashion Show” won’t have much downtime during her holiday vacation as there are plans to complete the follow-up to 2007’s Ms. Kelly by January. “I believe we’re going to finish the album over the Christmas break,” says Love, whose latest work includes Leighton Meester’s first single “Somebody to Love” featuring Robin Thicke.

Rowland is reportedly close to finalizing a new deal with EMI Music, home to David Guetta, LeToya Luckett, and Snoop Dogg, but an official announcement has yet to be made. “I believe she’s doing her deal right now. She’s in the process of closing a pretty big deal. I don’t think she’s going to say yet. She’s got the No. 1 song in the world with David Guetta, ‘When Love Takes Over.’”

Her latest gig comes in the form of playing 50 Cent’s love interest in the video for “Baby by Me” off the rapper’s new album Before I Self Destruct.

The King of Dance returns? That’s what the trailer for Omarion’s new music video is claiming. “I Get It In” featuring Gucci Mane is the first single from O’s third solo album Ollusion, now due on January 12, 2010. Thanks to Terrell for sending this one in.

Britney Spears has settled a lawsuit with a photographer who claimed she ran over his foot in 2007.

On Monday, a notice of settlement was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, and while the terms of the agreement have not been released, the photographer, Ricardo Mendoza, had originally sought more than $200,000.

The Oct. 2007 incident occurred as Spears was driving her white Mercedes out of a Beverly Hills parking garage. It was an especially bad day for the singer: Earlier, a judge had temporarily suspended her rights to see her sons Preston, now 4, and Jayden, now 3.

Mendoza, who was working for TMZ.com at the time, claimed the singer intentionally ran over his left foot and told the site that Spears's handlers should have been aware that she "was not in the mental, emotional and/or physical condition to operate the subject motor vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner."

TMZ.com later auctioned off Mendoza’s tire-stained sock and donated the money to charity.

Spears, 27, has come a long way since the incident. Not only does she have joint custody of her kids again, but she has another hit song: Her new single, 3, just debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Amy Winehouse is a completely different person from who she was this time last year, her father says. The singer, 26, is doing well both inside and out – and that includes her recent breast enhancement.

On Wednesday, Mitch Winehouse told British TV show This Morning that his daughter is, "Fantastic, fantastic. Her boobs are great as well." He then smiled and said, "I shouldn't have said that should I? She looks absolutely fantastic."

Asked if the operation really cost $56,000 per reports, he shrugged, "I don't know. I didn't have to pay for it – that's all I know. Whenever I see her, she says, 'Dad can you give me a couple of hundred.' [But] I didn't have to pay for the boobs. I don't know."

It has been a turbulent year for the singer, who is now working on her third album. She has been through a divorce, cleared of assault charges and spent many months in St Lucia as she sought to get healthy. Her taxi-driver father said that she is faring well and "has not been sick now for a year."

But the battle is ongoing. "There is no total recovery. It's a recovery. It's a slow, gradual recovery," he said. "If you look back to where we were a year ago, you know we are in a different planet. We are in a different space and a different time and a different person. We all are. We're all recovering."

The singer's father spoke on TV a day after he addressed Members of Parliament, telling them that his family had been fortunate to afford the best clinics and doctors when seeking treatment for Amy. The special committee met because he is making a documentary about families coping with drug problems, and he was imparting some of his experiences and anecdotes culled during his research.

His advice for families coping with addicts? "The best thing we can do for our loved ones who are addicted is to maintain that normal family atmosphere. Why should they feel guilty? When the person has recovered and wants to reenter the family they don't want to see a family that's destroyed, and that can happen."

After hinting about it on Twitter earlier this month, Chris Brown is following through with plans for a “Fan Appreciation” tour to thank his followers for their ongoing support. The small, 16-city run kicks off November 14 at the House of Blues in Houston, stopping in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Boston along the way.


The tour’s intimate venues were specifically chosen to fit the “fans only” concept. A portion of proceeds will be donated to two non-profit organizations, Best Buddies International and the Jenesse Center, the latter of which helps domestic violence victims.

While on tour, the 20-year-old pop star plans to visit with Best Buddies participants, as well as encourage his fans to consider volunteering their time to work with those in their own communities who have intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Watch out Tiger Woods: Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry's 1½-year-old daughter Nahla could eventually bring some fierce competition to the links.

"She started playing golf! She has a little hole in the backyard," Aubry, a self-confessed golf lover, said of his daughter on Monday at the Maybach Golf Cup 2009 Tournament in Pacific Palisades, Calif.

So will the little one be the next star with clubs? "Well, let's just wait [and see]," Aubry added with a grin.

And Nahla's talents don't stop there. Aubry, who is French-Canadian, says he is teaching his little girl to speak French as well.

Here come the men in black. Swizz Beatz, Chris Brown, and Lil Wayne filmed the video for “I Can Transform Ya,” the first offering from CB’s third album Graffiti, last month in Los Angeles. The futuristic clip was directed by Joseph Kahn (Britney Spears, Janet Jackson) and features robots, lots of dancing, and a guitar-playing Weezy.

Snoop Dogg cruises through Cali in the back of a Cadillac chauffeured by The-Dream in the Paul Hunter-directed video for “Gangsta Luv,” the first single from his new album Malice N Wonderland (Dec. 8). The West Coast MC finds himself in a women’s locker room, supermarket, club, and even the sea.

It appears Beyonce Knowles is taking another cue from her 2006 hit song 'Déjà Vu.'

It was announced today that the international superstar's much-publicized Oct. 25 concert in Malaysia has been put on ice.

The show -- which drew ire from protesters detracting Beyonce's sexy performance attire -- "has been postponed to a future date to be announced shortly," Malaysia-based promoter Marctensia said in a statement.

The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, recognized as the country's largest opposition group, made international headlines when they deemed the show would be inappropriate and immoral for their culture.

Knowles canceled her 2007 performance in the Southeast Asia country due to protesters threatening to disrupt it because of her sexual enticing stage attire.

The statement denies any "external reasons" for the Knowles' most recent deferral.

"The postponement is solely (the) decision of the artist and has nothing to do with other external reasons," the company added.

According to the Associated Press, a Marctensia representative declined to say whether the decision was induced by criticism from Islamic conservatives.

Representative's for Beyonce were unavailable for comment at press time.

What’s the sweetest thing about the Simmons family? Pastry VIP, the new high-end footwear and clothing line from Rev. Run’s oldest offspring, Vanessa and Angela Simmons. An expansion of their original Pastry Footwear sneaker line, Pastry VIP will feature heels in a more sophisticated and contemporary style. “The pieces are just so original and so outside the box of what anyone is doing,” Vanessa tells DIDNTINVITEME. When it comes to fashion, the sisters have some pretty large shoes to fill. Dad Joseph “Rev. Run” Simmons created the Run Athletics brand and uncle Russell Simmons is behind mega-brand Phat Farm. “We got the best blueprints from the industry just by paying attention while growing up,” Vanessa says. The sisters run all their designs past their fashionable family, though they admit their dad and uncle aren’t always the best judges when it comes to women’s clothing. Fashion tips aren’t the only things Vanessa and Angela will be missing from Dad. The sisters relocated in January from the family home in New Jersey to Los Angeles where they film their reality show Daddy’s Girls, now in its second season. The new season will follow the sisters as they run their business on the West Coast, which will include highlighting the Pastry line. The stars will debut a series of heels and flats at Macy’s at the beginning of the holiday season. They hope to expand their brand further in the future – after all, it’s in their blood. “It’s the thing that I’ve been interested in since forever,” Angela tells DIDNTINVITEME. “I love fashion. Live, sleep, eat, breathe it.”
