If you didn't already think Justin Bieber is about the sweetest, most non-threatening teen pop star ever, he's about to win you over. The 15-year-old whose career has blown up in the last year was asked about his plans for Valentine's Day, and it sounds like he's got someone very special in mind for the big day.

"I have one person that I’ll be sending flowers to and that’s my mom," he told theNew York Post. "She’s been there since the beginning and has given up a lot for me, I’m very blessed to have her."

Justin says he hasn't had a chance to do much dating, and unfortunately for him, his only crushes are a little too old for him. "I have crushes, but they’re all too old," he said. "Like Beyonce -- she has a husband, I might get shot. [laughs] I went up to give Beyonce a hug at the Grammys and Jay-Z said, watch out buddy! He was kidding, but you know..."

Jamie Foxx is currently single, but not for lack of manners. The actor and singer says he was brought up to be a “little gentleman” from a young age, and he's surrounded himself with women to learn how to be a good partner.

Then I was playing the piano at eight, and that helps you learn about women because most of the people I was playing for were women."

He added, “That's why I've always surrounded myself with women. I have about 20 to 25 platonic relationships with women all across the board from professional to artistic and they always give little clues on what they like."

Despite doing his best to understand women, Jamie admits they still leave him confused, and he wishes the opposite sex were as easy to understand as men.

He told Parade.com: “It's so easy to play us guys that I hate to give away secrets to women because I know they'll use them. But OK, if you just simply don't give a guy the time of day, every once in awhile, it just makes us more like 'What do we do?' Men are developed to conquer. When we can't seem to conquer, we stay in it no matter what. “

Shock waves rippled through the fashion world Thursday when news broke that British fashion designer Alexander McQueen had died at age 40.

Among his closest friends was supermodel Kate Moss whose rep issued a statement Thursday expressing her grief and sending condolences to his family.

"Kate is shocked and devastated at the tragic loss of her dear friend Lee McQueen. Her thoughts are with his family at this sad time. We would also ask that Kate's privacy is respected."

Other stars, from Kim Kardashian to Dita Von Teese, immediately took to Twitter to post tributes to the late-designer, born Lee Alexander McQueen, who died from apparent suicide.

British fashion designer Alexander McQueen, 40, was found dead at his London home on Thursday morning, his office confirms.

"Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand, has been found dead at his home," his family says in a statement to PEOPLE. "At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee's family."

"Lee's family has asked for privacy in order to come to terms with this terrible news and we hope the media will respect this," the statement continues.

According to the Scotland Yard report, "Police were called by London Ambulance Service at approximately 10:20 a.m. [Thursday] regarding a man found dead ...The deceased is believed to be 40 years old and from London. Next of kin have been informed but formal identification is awaited. A postmortem examination will be arranged in due course. The death is being treated as non-suspicious at this time."

Britain's Daily Mail reports that he hanged himself in his luxury apartment.

McQueen's death comes days after the death of his mother, Joyce, and almost three years after the May 2007 suicide of his close friend Isabella Blow, who discovered the designer and helped launch his career. The designer was so upset at his friend's death, that he dedicated his spring-summer show at Paris Fashion Week 2008 to the late Blow.

Designer for the Stars

The youngest of six children, the designer was born Lee Alexander McQueen. He was trained in tailoring in Savile Row, and in 1994, McQueen enrolled in London's Central Saint Martins fashion school. After graduation, he began his own business in the city's East End. In 1996, he was named head designer at Givenchy, before joining with Gucci, who bought 51 per cent of his company, bolstering his eponymous line.



During his career, the designer won many accolades, including being awarded Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) and being named International Designer of the Year at the Council of Fashion Designer Awards. McQueen was also named British designer of the year four times between 1996 and 2003. He was known for his exquisite, couture-quality gowns and over-the-top theatrical fashion presentations, with fashionable stars such as Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz, Sarah Jessica Parker and Katie Holmes often wearing his creations on the red carpet.

McQueen was expected to present his latest collection on March 9 during Paris Fashion Week. One of his contemporary lines, McQ, was scheduled to be shown at New York Fashion Week on Thursday afternoon, but the event was canceled.

Lost creator J.J. Abrams, who directed Mission: Impossible III, will also co-produce, and he and Tom are currently looking for a director.

Cruise in Mission: Impossible(Unrealitymag.com)The script for the film will be written by Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec, based on an idea developed by Tom and J.J. -- and the studio has set an ambitious initial release date of May 2011.

Paramount initially terminated Tom's contract with them after 2006's Mission: Impossible III had an underwhelming run at the box office, even though Tom was paid a rumored $80 million for the film. They cited his off-screen behavior as the result of ending the contract, after he made a now notorious appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show and jumped on a sofa to explain his love for wife-to-be Katie Holmes.

The Mission: Impossible franchise has grossed more than $1.4 billion globally.

Lady Gaga is heading to the studio with Britney Spears! Once Gaga has finished her current Monster Ball tour, the two have agreed to collaborate on some tunes -- and Gaga has her dad to thank for the hook-up. Her father Joseph took the opportunity to speak to Britney at a party after the Grammy Awards last month, and he told the pop beauty his daughter was a big admirer.

Gaga is a Britney fan (Getty)A source told The Sun newspaper: "Lady Gaga has made no secret of just how much of a Britney fan she is. She has even admitted she used to have posters of her on her wall and she was a great source of inspiration when she was a struggling songwriter."

The insider added, "She was delighted when she found her dad chatting away to Britney at the party. He introduced them and the three of them were locked in conversation for ages. At the end of the chat, they exchanged numbers and agreed to go into the studio and work on music together as soon as Gaga finishes her tour."

Lady Gaga previously revealed she has written songs for Britney and submitted her track "Telephone" for one of her albums, but it was rejected. The eccentric pop star instead recorded a version for her recent album The Fame Monster with Beyonce Knowles.

Gaga said: "I wrote it for her a long time ago, and she just didn't use it on her album. It's fine because I love the song, and it's exciting I get to perform it now."

The European leg of the Monster Ball world tour starts on February 18, and ends in June.

Jamie Foxx teamed up with Lost star Dominic Monaghan to unveil $500,000 worth of musical instruments he helped donate to high school students at LA's Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Dominic Monaghan helped Foxx present the instruments to the kids (Photo Agency)Fox, for one, was eager to entertain the youngsters with his hit "Blame It," but since the song is an ode to the effects of alcohol, he changed the lyrics to, "Blame it on the a-a-a-apple juice," much to their amusement. He then joked: "I changed it so you guys could sing it."

The equipment included new violins, flutes, French horns, trumpets and drums that will help students in 16 American schools, who use the Fidelity FutureStage program. The project aims to enrich arts education in public schools by providing instruments, specialized training by professional musicians, and a chance for aspiring artists to perform with renowned orchestras.

Foxx praised Fidelity for stepping in and helping out when public funding had failed, because he knows how important it is. He said: "Even if a kid is not going to be the greatest musician in the world, just the fact that you gave him something, the fact that you said, 'Hey, I care about you,' that's what it's about."

But I happen to not be one of those people.”
