Madonna's "Glee" tribute episode might have been titled "The Power of Madonna," but it was the show's tribute to Britney Spears that reigned supreme. The broadcast, which featured cameos from the pop princess herself, drew 13.3 million viewers, leading the 8 p.m. hour and posting its best-ever rating among adults 18-49.
Tuesday night's episode, appropriately titled "Britney/Brittany," had a 5.8 rating and rose 4 percent from last week's season-two premiere. The feat made history for "Glee," as it becomes the first series since NBC's "Seinfeld" in 1993 to debut as the top series of the week and then spike in ratings the following week, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The episode, which highlighted Heather Morris' character Brittany S. Pearce, revolved around the McKinley High students' fight to perform Britney Spears numbers. Through anesthesia-induced sequences, the Gleeks tapped into their inner pop star to perform renditions of the singer's hits, including " ... Baby One More Time" and "Me Against the Music."
In addition to Spears' appearances on the hit Fox show, the singer took to Twitter during the West Coast premiere to thank fans for campaigning in support of the episode. "I loved it! Thank you guys SO much for making this happen!" she tweeted. The pop princess also gave props to the many song and video re-creations, including "I'm a Slave 4 U," saying, "Slave: Oh ... My ... God ...! Those little boys are SO cute! I know how hard it is to dance with that snake! Nice job."
Spears' manager, Adam Leber, also showed his appreciation for the episode, which spawned multiple trending topics on Twitter. "So glad you guys loved the GLEE episode! The Overwhelming worldwide response has been insane.3 of the top 10 worldwide trending topics.Sick! Big big big thank you to Ryan Murphy, the incredible cast and Brit's fans for making it happen...."
After such success, it wouldn't be surprising if the rumors of a second Spears-devoted episode came true, since "Britney/Brittany" only included hits from the first few years of the singer's career.

Rebecca Gayheart Is Out With Baby Billie
I think this is the first time I've seen Billie! Adorable! Don't you want to pinch those cheeks? Rebecca Gayheart was spotted out with the baby yesterday afternoon. They went to a private residence.
Can you make out Billie's personalized booties (click through the pictures below for a better look)? Too cute :) It looks like Rebecca is focused on being a full-time mom while Eric Dane is still busy with 'Grey's Anatomy.' As you other stay-at-home moms know, getting out is so important!
I hope they had a good time :)

Ben Affleck And Jennifer Garner Grab Coffee Together
As all of you married couples out there know, once kids come along, you have to grab couple time together whenever you can! Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were spotted having coffee together yesterday morning.
I hope they make some time to go out and celebrate this evening: Ben's new movie, 'The Town,' is projected to be the #1 movie this weekend! It was expected to come in #2 behind the teen movie 'Easy A,' but unless the teens turn out in force tonight, 'The Town' is expected to win the weekend.
After all his ups and downs, I'm sure Ben is a happy guy today :)

Yet another new song from the upcoming first posthumous album from Michael Jackson, Michael, has appeared online, and it should appease fans who feared that the 10-song effort would draw primarily from the singer's less-fruitful later years. "Much Too Soon" dates back to the late King of Pop's legendary 1982 Thriller album.
Like the melancholy "Hold My Hand," another song from the album due out on December 14, the latest track is an earnest love ballad. "Much Too Soon" premiered on the iTunes' social networking site, Roger Federer Brad Pitt Floyd Mayweather Michael Bay Donald Trump

Taylor Swift's Post-Coffee Date Work Duties
Continuing to spend time in her hometown, Taylor Swift was spotted making her way around Nashville, TN on Tuesday afternoon (November 30).
Joined by her mom, the "Mine" singer braved the rainy weather in a blue jacket as she returned to a local recording studio to work on her musical endeavors.
Earlier in the morning, reports tell that Miss Swift was able to sneak in another rendezvous with actor Jake Gyllenhaal.
The pair met up at the Frothy Monkey coffee shop while chatting over a java beverage as they sat across from one another at a tiny table.

Britney Spears' 'Me Against The Music': 'Glee' Vs. The Original
Watch Brittany and Santana's version side-by-side with Britney and Madonna's.By Jocelyn Vena

Heather Morris, who plays hilariously ditzy cheerleader Brittany on "Glee," got to channel her sort-of namesake on Tuesday night's "Britney/Brittany" episode. And the professional-dancer-turned-actress didn't disappoint as she re-enacted Spears' videos for "Toxic," "Slave 4 U" and "Me Against the Music." She tackled all of them with her spectacular dance skills and a pretty killer singing voice.
The anesthesia-induced dream sequences followed one of Brittany's stellar reveals: "My name is also Britney Spears. Brittany S. Pierce. I've lived my entire life in Britney Spears' shadow." Well, on Tuesday night she stepped out of her shadow.
Of all the video reinterpretations in the episode, the Madonna/Britney team-up, which saw Santana playing Madge and Brittany playing you guessed it, paid homage to the original 2003 video, directed by Paul Hunter. Aside from a few artistic tweaks in the "Glee" version's choreography, Morris and company do the original justice.
"The 'Me Against the Music' montage, it's literally copied exactly from the video, the shots and looks, but the choreography is made so much more for a dancer — none of it is from the video," Morris told New York magazine about the "Glee" version. "You just have to wait to see it. It's insane."
Hunter spoke to MTV News last year about his original concept for Britney's "Music" video. "I try to play opposites, when you have Britney in dark and Madonna in white," he said. "And then we see them kind of dance around the bed .. and you think they're gonna get on top of each other and do something crazy."

Cher Recalls Holding Lady Gaga's Meat Purse At The VMAs
'Here, Cher, will you hold my meat purse?' singer/actress remembers Gaga asking onstage.By Kara Warner

For the Cher fans out there old enough to remember her famous "Turn Back Time" outfit, the fact that the 64-year-old is still able to rock the heck out of that very small piece of fabric stood out as one of the highlights of this year's Video Music Awards.
When MTV News caught up with the legendary diva while she promoted her new movie "Burlesque," we had to ask what inspired her attire that night.
"Well, I wear that every night in Las Vegas, so I just whipped it out. I didn't have time to think of, like, getting a costume," she explained. "So I had it and thought it would just be fun to just take off on myself, not knowing I was going to be handling the meat purse," she said, referring to Lady Gaga's now-famous meat dress and accessory. "But, you know, there's those moments you just remember [forever]," she said with a chuckle. " 'Here, Cher, will you hold my meat purse?' "
For someone who has been in the business for so long, Cher is very down-to-earth about her fame — no matter how big the freak-outs of fans (and a few journalists we watched try to contain their excitement at the "Burlesque" press day). We asked what it feels like to experience such unbridled enthusiasm and love from her fans.
"You know, I would tell you the truth, and it's going to sound so awful, but I'm kind of used to it," she said. "I've been around so long. This guy said, 'My grandmother loves you.' If somebody's grandmother loves you, they've known you for a long time," she said, adding that the fans who have known her via a grandmother or mother have more of a history with her, which translates into being totally starstruck.
What did you think of Cher pulling out the "Turn Back Time" outfit for the VMAs? Let us know in the comments!
Check out everything we've got on "Burlesque."

Lindsay Lohan Admits To Failing Drug Test
And THIS is why early discharges from rehab are generally a bad idea {sigh}. Lindsay Lohan confessed on twitter that she had, indeed, failed a drug test.
Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test and if I am asked, I am prepared to appear before judge Fox next week as a result.
TMZ is now reporting that Lindsay actually failed two drug tests. In addition to landing her in jail, this setback could also further derail Lindsay's career, according to TMZ.
Lindsay is now relying on Judge Elden Fox to allow her to leave California to shoot "Inferno" in Louisiana and possibly fly to New York City for "Saturday Night Live."
Here's the problem. Sources connected with the case have been telling TMZ ... if Lindsay were to fail a drug test the judge would probably pull the plug on out-of-state-travel -- a privilege for Lindsay, not a right.
...But all bets are off now that Lindsay has flunked two tests.
And sources close to Lindsay somehow already know the big wigs on "Inferno" are pissed that she may have screwed up again, so flying to Louisiana may be a moot question.
You can't really blame the 'Inferno' producers for being upset. It looks like the best thing for Lindsay at this point is a long-term stay in an inpatient facility that focuses solely on drug abuse (not drug problems and psychiatric problems, which is what the UCLA program did).
This is really just TOO sad.

Beyonce Jokes She's Been Pregnant With Concert Special
'I was pregnant with this DVD,' she laughs to MTV News as 'I Am ... World Tour' is set to air Thanksgiving Day on ABC.By Jocelyn Vena

Beyoncé never really seems to slow down, so when the time came to choose a director for her concert special DVD "I Am ... World Tour," the singer decided to take on those duties too. It's an accomplishment the singer jokes may have sparked those pregnancy rumors.
"I was pregnant with this DVD, yes!" she joked to MTV News.
The DVD hits stores on November 30, but fans can catch the 90-minute "I Am ... World Tour" TV special when it airs on ABC Thanksgiving night at 9:30 p.m. ET. Beyoncé opened up about what it was like to sit in the director's chair.
"Well, I've done some co-directing for music videos [but] this was definitely a big step for me, and I'm so thrilled," she said at the New York City screening for the flick.
Beyoncé said she was completely hands-on, deciding which moments made the final cut and which ones wound up on the cutting-room floor. "It was hard work," she said. "I learned so much. I have a new respect for directors and I think I would like to do more of it."
Her parents, Mathew and Tina Knowles, who also attended the screening over the weekend, said the film gives B the recognition she deserves after years of collaborating on many of her own videos.
"I'm really excited about this because Beyoncé has been making little short films and really helping to direct her videos," Tina told us. "So it's nice that she'll get credit for doing something that she really loves doing and that she's very talented at."
Dad Mathew recalled all of the effort his superstar daughter put into the special. "I'm so proud," he said. "I had an opportunity [to see the film], I've been to Houston with a screening; I've been to Bentonville, [Arkansas], with a screening, and to see the excitement from the audience, what an incredible job Beyoncé did as a director in the editing, I'm just so proud. Hopefully, all the fans go out and get the DVD and soundtrack and look at that ABC special coming on Thanksgiving."

Katy Perry Stands By Her Man
I told you yesterday about Russell Brand being arrested after allegedly getting into an altercation with a paparazzo. Here are the pictures of Russell and Katy Perry arriving at the airport before the scuffle broke out.
And here's what Katy had to say on twitter about the incident:
If you cross the line & try an put a lens up my dress, my fianc� will do his job & protect me. #standbyyourman #don'tf**kwiththeBrands.
If it's true that the paparazzo was trying to get a picture under Katy's skirt, then the paparazzo is the one who should've been arrested! Talk about crossing the line. And I've heard of paparazzi trying to do that, so it doesn't sound so improbable to me.
Hopefully this will be resolved without too much fuss.

Michael Jackson's Michael Track Listing Reveals Akon, 50 Cent Collabos
Akon collaboration, 'Hold My Hand,' will debut Monday.By Jocelyn Vena
Michael Jackson's <i>Michael</i>

Michael Jackson fans are eagerly awaiting the December 14 arrival of his posthumous release, simply called Michael, and on Friday (November 12), the album's official track listing was unveiled. Michael will feature appearances by 50 Cent and Lenny Kravitz, as well as a collaboration with Akon called "Hold My Hand" that's set to debut on Monday (November 15).
"Hold My Hand" will be Michael's lead track. According to an official announcement, Jackson had intended for the song to be the first official release off the album. His label, Sony, and the executors of his estate reportedly have a handwritten note from the singer in which he shares that wish. Another tune, "Breaking News," began streaming on his website this past Monday as a preview for the album.
An early take of "Hold My Hand" was leaked in 2008, but Akon says the version that appears on Michael is the definite one. "The world was not ready to hear 'Hold My Hand' when it leaked a couple years ago. We were devastated about it," Akon explained. "But its time has definitely come; now in its final state, it has become an incredible, beautiful, anthemic song. I'm so proud to have had the chance to work with Michael, one of my all time idols."
In 2007, Akon spoke to MTV News about working with Jackson on music, including "Hold My Hand." "Just to be in the same room [with him], I felt like everything I wanted to achieve in life had already been achieved," Akon said. "That's how incredible that aura [is]. We about to shake the world up, man ... You know how you be with somebody and you can't even explain [the feeling]? I used to always sit and wonder, 'How does somebody sell so many records and dominate a whole business genre to a point where nobody can't be a part of that without associating [with him]?' The way he thinks ... some artists think regional, some think national, I was thinking international, 'til I met him. He thinks planet. It's on another level."
The cover art for Michael was released earlier this month. The painting by Kadir Nelson takes fans on a fantasy ride through the greatest moments of MJ's solo career. MTV News recently decoded the Jackson images and references that make up the album art including several iterations of Jackson ranging from Thriller-era Jackson right through to the singer wearing a crown, an obvious reference to his moniker as the King of Pop.
Here is the complete track list for Michael Jackson's Michael, according to Sony Music Entertainment:
»"Hold My Hand" (Duet with Akon)
»"Hollywood Tonight"
»"Keep Your Head Up"
»"(I Like) The Way You Love Me"
»"Monster" (Featuring 50 Cent)
»"Best of Joy"
»"Breaking News"
»"(I Can't Make It) Another Day" (Featuring Lenny Kravitz)
»"Behind the Mask"
»"Much Too Soon"

Beyonce Says She Takes Pregnancy Rumors In Stride
'I just hope that one day, when I decide to be pregnant that people are happy for me,' superstar jokes about year-round bump-watch.By Jocelyn Vena

In 2010 alone, Beyoncé was pregnant at least twice, if you believe the rumors.
While the singer shot down the talk both times, she says that at this point she's pretty much to used to people speculating about potential baby bumps. "I mean, it's a part of it. At this point they said I've been pregnant like eight times, so I'm kind of used to it," Beyoncé told MTV News at a screening for her concert DVD, "I Am ... World Tour," in New York City.
"I just hope that one day, when I decide to be pregnant that people are happy for me, 'cause I'm like gosh, like, everyone's like, 'Oh god, please! She's been pregnant 100 times.' One day, hopefully, I will be. So whatever; it's a part of being a celebrity, I guess."
Her mom, Tina Knowles, was also at the screening and when asked if she thought that 2011 might be the year we give up gossiping about Bey's pregnancy status, she played it cool. "You have to ask her those personal things," she said. "I don't know!"
But Tina was also the lady to shoot down the baby-bump rumors last month when she sat down with talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres.
"I heard that, but I'm here to clear the rumors up. The truth is it's not Beyoncé that's pregnant, it's me," she joked. "No, it's not true. Not right now. I'm looking forward to it. With all the rumors, by now I should have about five or six grandchildren."

"I just hope that one day, when I decide to be pregnant that people are happy for me, 'cause I'm like gosh, like, everyone's like, 'Oh god, please! She's been pregnant 100 times.' One day, hopefully, I will be. So whatever; it's a part of being a celebrity, I guess."
Her mom, Tina Knowles, was also at the screening and when asked if she thought that 2011 might be the year we give up gossiping about Bey's pregnancy status, she played it cool. "You have to ask her those personal things," she said. "I don't know!"
But Tina was also the lady to shoot down the baby-bump rumors last month when she sat down with talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres.
"I heard that, but I'm here to clear the rumors up. The truth is it's not Beyoncé that's pregnant, it's me," she joked. "No, it's not true. Not right now. I'm looking forward to it. With all the rumors, by now I should have about five or six grandchildren."

Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian Stage Online Death For World AIDS Day
Alicia Keys recruits Justin Timberlake, Usher, Ryan Seacrest, more for Buy Life campaign.By Gil Kaufman

If you see headlines this Wednesday about Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian giving up on social media, don't be alarmed. Along with Usher, Elijah Wood, Justin Timberlake, Khloe Kardashian and Jennifer Hudson, they're participating in a stunt to promote World AIDS Day in which they will kill off their cyberselves for one day as part of a Digital Life Sacrifice.
The idea was hatched by singer Alicia Keys to raise money for her charity, Keep a Child Alive, and as part of the Buy Life promotion the celebrities will urge fans to donate to the charity in order to buy back their online presence. Fans can text the first name of the celebrity they are mourning to 90999 and $10 will instantly be donated to the cause.
Kardashian is among the participants who have posed for a poster to bring attention to the effort. In it, she lies in a casket while wearing a cocktail dress and clutching her cell phone. Celebrities such as mega-tweeter Ryan Seacrest have agreed to sign off all social networks on Tuesday until they raise $1 million for World AIDS Day. Seacrest has even videotaped a "Last Tweet and Testament" representing his digital death for his Facebook page that will be linked to from his final tweet early Tuesday morning.
In another taped plea, Jennifer Hudson says, "Come on, y'all. Buy my life back. Go on a shopping spree and buy as much of it as you can." Keep a Child Alive helps provide money for medical care and support services for children and families impacted by HIV and AIDS in Africa and India.
Janelle Monáe and Keys' husband, producer Swizz Beatz, have also filmed "Last Tweet and Testament" clips and been photographed in coffins.
"It's so important to shock you to the point of waking up," Keys told The Associated Press. "It's not that people don't care or it's not that people don't want to do something, it's that they never thought of it quite like that. ... This is such a direct and instantly emotional way and a little sarcastic, you know, of a way to get people to pay attention."
Keys founded Keep a Child Alive in 2003, and on September 30, she and co-founder Leigh Blake launched Buy Life. As part of the campaign, they've issued a $35 gray T-shirt with a barcode on it, and users who've uploaded the Stickybits or Wimo applications to their smartphones can donate $10 to the charity by scanning any Buy Life shirt with their devices.
"This Shirt Fights AIDS," reads the back of the shirt. "Scan the bar code or text 'BUYLIFE' to 90999 to join the fight."
It's unlikely that Gaga and the others will be digitally deceased for long — Gaga has 24 million Facebook fans, and collectively, the celebs have nearly 29 million followers on Twitter.

Let's hear it for Gillian McKeith, the new queen of the jungle
I'm A Celebrity . . . gives us Gillian McKeith, someone to unite the nation in these troubled timesThis week, Lost in Showbiz must commence with an apology to its readers in fear that it may already be out of date. Events in Queensland's Springbook National Park ? or at least the bit of Queensland's Springbook National Park currently occupied by Gillian McKeith's brain ? are progressing at a dizzying rate. At the start of the week, the TV nutritionist merely appeared to have a succession of phobias that brought on a kind of fainting fit hitherto unknown to medical science, in which the syncopal individual is still somehow capable of adjusting their clothing. At the time of writing, she is now claiming to be both pregnant and suffering from rabies: the former assertion made in scenes deemed "too disturbing to broadcast". By the time you read this, who can honestly predict to what stage her medical condition will have progressed? Perhaps she will have sprouted an extra arm and contracted bovine malignant catarrhal fever.But one thing that never changes is Lost in Showbiz's ardent admiration for McKeith. It thumbs its nose at those who suggest her career could only have resembled a 19th-century medicine show more closely had she conducted it from the back of a horse and cart with a couple of minstrels and a banjo player called Peg Leg Sam. It scorns the 2006 ruling by the Medicine And Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) regarding her range of herbal sex pills. Who cares if Gillian McKeith's Fast Formula Horny Goat Weed Complex tablets were actually legal for sale in the UK or indeed worked at all? Indeed, who needed to actually take the tablets? What greater incitement to tumescence is there for any red-blooded gentleman than the sight of the good doctor herself, grinning alluringly from the packet?It frowns upon the naysayers who claim she's spent her entire time in the jungle talking cobblers, noting that her career offers absolutely no precedent for her doing anything like that whatsoever, and believing wholeheartedly that she might well be pregnant: after all, there are probably a lot of unsold Fast Formula Horny Goat Weed Complex tablets knocking around her gaff since that MHRA ruling.It frowns, too, on those who reacted with scorn to her suggestion that she couldn't quit I'm A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here because if she did, "I'll never work in television again." It knows there are those who simply guffawed in response or screamed: "But you've behaved in a way considered too disturbing for transmission by people who think Shaun Ryder eating a crocodile's penis counts as prime-time family entertainment! Frankly, the only way you'll work in television again is if someone successfully pitches a programme called Crackalackadingdong Nutjob Makes Things Up."To those people, Lost in Showbiz can only respond: that's as maybe, but have you seen Richard Desmond's plans for Channel 5?Indeed, Lost in Showbiz's admiration has grown to immense proportions since she entered the jungle camp. Not merely for her quiet stoicism, her impregnable dignity and point-blank refusal to make a fuss, but for her incredible effect on the nation as a whole. It can hardly have failed to escape your notice that we live in troubled times. The country is scarred by recession and facing austerity. The kids are rioting in the streets. What we need is something to unite the country and we seem to have found it. At last, something we can all agree on, from the Independent ? which ran a learned essay quoting the services manager of Anxiety UK and Dr Allan Norris, a consultant clinical psychologist at Birmingham's Edgbaston hospital, that wondered aloud about "the authenticity or otherwise of her fainting fits" ? to the Sun, which ran an equally learned essay concluding that she was a "budgie-faced jobbie-botherer". Heat magazine has taken to quoting "crusading soldier of science" Ben Goldacre, a state of affairs that prior to McKeith's arrival in the jungle was no more probable than George Monbiot rocking up on Celebrity Juice and cracking wise with Fearne Cotton and Dappy from N-Dubz.If she stays there much longer, Lost in Showbiz fully expects to see a photo of the leader of the English Defence League playfully high-fiving Anjem "Hate Preacher" Choudray: "We got on to the subject of Gillian McKeith and we just . . . clicked."It's certainly not the first time in history that a single figure has united Great Britain in a time of adversity, but the last one had to launch an indiscriminate Luftwaffe attack on the Polish city of Wielun and command the battelship Schleswig-Holstein to open salvos of broadside fire on the Polish garrison of Westerplatte. The doc's just achieved exactly the same thing simply by making Stacey Soloman cry and telling Shaun Ryder off for eating a crocodile penis too noisily. Heat's down with Goldacre! The disparate strands of our country are being drawn together as one! We're all in this together! This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius! Break out the Fast Formula Horny Goat Weed Complex! Raise in toast a foaming goblet of refreshing, nutritious and delicious Organic Berry Chi Juice, high in antioxidants and phytonutrients with botanical influences!

Usher Remembers Being A 'Pizza Face' On 'When I Was 17'
'I had really, really bad acne ' he admits in Saturday's episode. By Mawuse Ziegbe

He's known as one of the smoothest R&B sensations to grace the stage, but when Usher was 17, he grappled with a far less flattering image.
"I went through this phase where I had really, really bad acne," the singer admits on the latest episode of "When I Was 17," premiering Saturday at 11 a.m. Usher, who was 17 in 1995, reveals with a grin that his nickname was "Pizza Face."
"His acne was so horrible," recalled one of Usher's more blunt friends, Keith. "His face was so jacked up."
Music mogul and producer Jermaine Dupri remembered how the entertainer's spotty complexion led him to shy away from the spotlight.
"He didn't want to go out. He wanted to stay in," Dupri says. "He was a little ashamed of what was going on with his face."
The singer went to extreme, and ultimately unsuccessful, lengths to disguise his breakouts.
"As a dude, you're not gonna put makeup on your face, right?" Usher said. "I tried that, it didn't even work."
He may have experimented with cosmetics and spent a few more nights at home but the multiplatinum star didn't let his acne hold him back from wooing the ladies. "I was 17, so I would still try to talk to girls [and] get past it," Usher reasoned.
He even had some smooth lines to drop when he wanted to draw attention away from his skin. " 'Don't look at that, look at my eyes, baby. I'm trying to say something real serious to you right here,' " Usher recalled, reenacting his complexion-deflecting dating moves. "I know I have pizza face, I don't care."
In the end, his skin cleared up and the singer said it was just a matter of riding out a rite passage that many teens are forced to endure.
"This is something that all 17-year-olds have to deal with," Usher said. "You can't run away from it."

Beyonce Says She Takes Pregnancy Rumors In Stride

In 2010 alone, Beyoncé was pregnant at least twice, if you believe the rumors.
While the singer shot down the talk both times, she says that at this point she's pretty much to used to people speculating about potential baby bumps. "I mean, it's a part of it. At this point they said I've been pregnant like eight times, so I'm kind of used to it," Beyoncé told MTV News at a screening for her concert DVD, "I Am ... World Tour," in New York City.
"I just hope that one day, when I decide to be pregnant that people are happy for me, 'cause I'm like gosh, like, everyone's like, 'Oh god, please! She's been pregnant 100 times.' One day, hopefully, I will be. So whatever; it's a part of being a celebrity, I guess."
Her mom, Tina Knowles, was also at the screening and when asked if she thought that 2011 might be the year we give up gossiping about Bey's pregnancy status, she played it cool. "You have to ask her those personal things," she said. "I don't know!"

Nicki has found herself in the rap and pop spotlight thanks to her unique style, over-the-top personality and anticipation for her first album, Pink Friday, out Friday. This was an opportunity not only for her to thank fans for their support, but also for them to thank her for giving them a voice.

"It's her style, it's her flow," said 19-year-old Jean Carlos. "Some people won't get it, but the people out here supporting her, all of these people that have been here since who knows what time, those are people that get her. Those are her real fans and that's why we're here, because we love her."
Most fans knew that they would only get three seconds to let Nicki know how much they loved her, but that fact did little to dissuade them. Admirer Anthony Dominguez said that when he got a chance to meet her, he would congratulate her on her success and tell her how much he appreciated her.
"I'm going to tell her 'I love you so much, keep up the good work,' and 'I love you Mama Barb.' "

Portrait of the artist: Ronni Ancona, comedian
'Satire is in danger of becoming strangled because celebrity culture has become so extreme'What got you started?I was a bit of an oddball at school, so I used humour to get people to like me. I did impressions of Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and various TV newsreaders. It was very sad.What was your big breakthrough?Winning the Time Out/Hackney Empire new act of the year award in 1993 allowed me to give up my day job; I was working as a teacher at a boys' school.Who or what have you sacrificed for your art?Peace of mind. This is a very superficial business, and a lot of the people in it are sensitive souls.What's the biggest threat to the arts today?The fact that satire is in danger of being strangled, because celebrity culture has become so extreme. On The Big Impression we had a sketch in which Salman Rushdie begged Jordan to write his new novel because he knew it would go to No 1. Now she does write books, and they do go to No 1.Stage or screen?Stage for the bond you get with the audience. In television, your material is often mediated by some young guy in an edit suite in a trendy T-shirt. But TV is brilliant for comic acting.What advice would you give a young comedian?Aim to be like a pair of brogues. They may not be the height of fashion, but they're too useful to dispose of.Is it more difficult for women to get ahead in comedy? Yes and no. You do get given certain opportunities just because they need a woman. But audiences are more comfortable with men being funny. I wonder whether, subconsciously, they're worried about a woman humiliating herself ? which, as a comic, you have to be prepared to do.What's the best advice anyone ever gave you?A fellow comedian once gave me a great heckle putdown. He said to me: "If someone shouts 'Bollocks' at you, you say back, 'You should know all about that, because you've only got one, and it's between your ears.'"Complete this sentence: At heart I'm just a frustrated . . .Fairy. I'd love to have wings or a tail.What's the worst thing anyone ever said about you? I've had many terrible things written about me ? often in the Guardian.In short Born: Troon, Ayrshire, 1968.Career: TV includes The Big Impression, Fist of Fun and Skins; theatre includes The Hypochondriac at the Almeida, London. She performs in the 24 Hour Plays at the Old Vic, London, on Sunday. Details: 020-7401 9280.High point: "Ronnie Barker told me I was very funny. I just stood there shaking: he'd been my hero since I was tiny." Low point: "How many pages have you got?"ComedyComedyCelebrityLaura Barnettguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More FeedsRobert Pattinson

Jessica, Cash and Honor's Beverly Hills Family Bonding
Keeping up with their routine weekend family outings, Jessica Alba and husband Cash Warren were spotted making their way around Beverly Hills with daughter Honor Marie on Saturday (November 27).
The adorable trio first dropped by a local park to work up an appetite on the playground equipment before proceeding on to grab up brunch at Jack n' Jills restaurant.
The Alba/Warren family excursion comes shortly after Jess spoke with press about her desire to give Honor a sibling.
"Honor is so beautiful and I feel so enriched by being part of her life. She's my main priority now and I want to give her the best life possible. Before she was born I was totally focused on my career, but now with Cash and our daughter I feel that I'm building a wonderful family. I would like to have more children at some point," Alba revealed.
The 29-year-old actress added, "We didn't plan on starting a family so soon but when it happened we realized what a beautiful moment it was. We're a lot closer. The beauty of marriage and having a family is knowing you're sharing everything with someone else and are committed to being part of each other's lives. Cash and I understand that and together with our daughter, we want to have a wonderful life."

Help for Heroes Day | Radio review
For pledges of cash, Eamonn Holmes was happy to self-deprecate. 'I want your money,' he said simplyHosting a show yesterday as part of the 18-hour Help for Heroes Day on Smooth, Real and Rock Radio networks, Eamonn Holmes (below) joked that he was being spread thinly. "That's a first," he quipped. It was one of several jokes, indicating that for pledges of cash, he was happy to self-deprecate. "I want your money," he said simply.His was a celebrity-filled programme, and every guest donated something for the charity auction. You could bid for Susan Boyle's signed scarf, or the chance to meet Barry Manilow. The day's script from This Morning was up for grabs. "We've got a sex clinic," Phillip Schofield explained, as if to increase bids.The show was full of sobering stories from those injured in Afghanistan and Iraq ? one soldier, shot in the face, lost most of his sight and endured 100 hours of surgery, but described himself as "one of the lucky ones" ? as was the very moving Fallen Heroes documentary broadcast across the networks on Remembrance Sunday.Some well-known guests came across better than others. Cliff Richard told Holmes that he wakes "in a sweat" some days, worrying about whether he has enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his days. "I'd be OK if I died tomorrow," he added, with crashing insensitivity given the cause.RadioCharitable givingCelebrityRemembrance Dayguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More FeedsManny Pacquiao

Chef Gurpareet Bains' "Indian Superfood" is a book whose time has come.
Combining traditional Indian cuisine with superfoods and what he calls 'superspices' Bains "brings Indian food bang up to date," says well-known British Indian comedian Sanjeev Bhaskar OBE.

Rihanna Bested By Susan Boyle, Jackie Evancho On Billboard 200
Two "Talent" show singers top the charts, while Rihanna's Loud debuts at #3.By Gil Kaufman

Though it's an American holiday, Thanksgiving must be turning into Susan Boyle's favorite. After setting records last week with her second album, The Gift, former "Britain's Got Talent" runner-up Boyle will retain the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart next week thanks to sales of another 335,000 copies, and despite challenges from nine new competitors, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan.
Last week, Boyle became the first woman, and only other artist besides the Beatles and the Monkees, to land two straight #1 albums within a calendar year in both England and the U.S. She retains the crown as another reality singer from a Simon Cowell-produced show, 10-year-old "America's Got Talent" runner-up Jackie Evancho, comes in just behind with her debut EP, O Holy Night (#2, 239,000).
That means Rihanna has to settle for a #3 debut for her fifth album, Loud, which sold 207,000 copies. It marked her best U.S. chart sales debut to date, besting the #4 bow of last year's Rated R, which came in with sales of 181,000. She leads a parade of new names in the top 10 which also includes Josh Groban's Rick Rubin-produced Illuminations (#4, 191,000), Kid Rock's Rubin-produced Born Free (#5, 189,000), Rascal Flatts' Nothing Like This (#6, 165,000), Keith Urban's Get Closer (#7, 162,000), the "Glee" Christmas album (#8, 161,000) and Nelly's 5.0 (#10, 63,000).
The only other hold-over from last week's top 10 is Taylor Swift, whose Speak Now figures dropped by more than 30 percent to 146,000 as her first month of sales crossed the 1.7 million mark. Pink's greatest-hits collection, Greatest Hits So Far!, comes in at #14 (53,000), just beating out the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's Darkness on the Edge of Town outtakes collection The Promise (#16, 47,000).
Season nine "American Idol" winner Lee DeWyze set a new record for "Idol" champs, just not the kind he probably wanted. His first major-label effort, Live It Up, is officially the poorest-selling debut from an "Idol" champ in history, notching a lowly #19 chart bow on anemic sales of 39,000. The title was previously held by season-eight winner Kris Allen, whose debut hit the charts in 2009 at #11 on sales of 80,000.
It was a very rough second week for Kid Cudi, whose Man on the Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager plummets nearly 80 percent to #21 on sales of 34,000, while Eminem's Recovery drops 12 spots to #23 while holding steady on sales at 34,000 and crossing the 3 million mark. It was also a big comedown for Cee Lo, as his solo album The Lady Killer nosedives 30 spots to #39 after sales shriveled by 40 percent to 25,000.
Despite selling 2 million digital tracks and 450,000 digital albums in their iTunes coming-out party, the Beatles have only one album in the top 50, with Abbey Road slipping in at #50 (19,000). Thirteen other digital albums chart in the lower regions of the top 200.
The Fab Four are having better luck on the iTunes album chart, where Abbey Road comes in at #6 and a special box set closes out the tally at #10. But it is all Rihanna on that chart, as Loud holds the #1 slot, followed by the "Glee" Christmas album, Rascal Flatts, A Day to Remember's What Separates Me From You, Urban, Swift, Groban and Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
iTunes doesn't release sales figures, but "Glee" rules the singles countdown thanks to guest Gwyneth Paltrow's cover of Cee Lo's "Forget You," followed by Ke$ha's "We R Who We R," Cee Lo's own sanitized version of his profane hit single, Katy Perry's "Firework," Pink's "Raise Your Glass" and the "Glee" cast's recording of "Singing in the Rain/Umbrella." The rest of the singles chart includes #7 song "What's My Name?" by Rihanna and Drake, the Black Eyed Peas' "The Time (Dirty Bit)," Rihanna's "Only Girl (In the World)" and Far East Movement's "Like a G6."
Things will get shuffled all over again next week with chart debuts from Kanye, Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, My Chemical Romance, Ne-Yo, Jay-Z, Akon, Alan Jackson, Ke$ha and the "Burlesque" soundtrack.

They've booked the Cox Green Community Centre, everyone's bringing a bottle and they're waiting to hear back from Dean Torkington, The UK's No 1 Tribute to Meat Loaf, re: availability.Lost in Showbiz had just about decided that its favourite aspect of the royal wedding was Kate's naughty Uncle Gary, who lives somewhere in Ibiza called La Maison de Bang Bang ("crude French slang for the house of sex," advised the Daily Mail, for the benefit of anyone who thought it might be French for the Institute of Medieval Research), has a tattoo reading "It's Gary's world ? you just live in it" and told an undercover News of the World reporter, "I'm going to be the Duke of Slough" before chopping out a load of coke and offering to set him up with a �600-a-night Brazilian prostitute.But that was before the figure of William's Old University Friend Jules hoved into view. Lost in Showbiz had never heard of William's Old University Friend Jules before Tuesday, but now it struggles to imagine life without him, because once William's Old University Friend Jules hoved in view, he doggedly refused to hove out again. At one point on Tuesday evening, he appeared to be on every one of the 614 channels on the Sky+ planner, including price-drop TV and the Sikh Channel. On all of them, William's Old University Friend Jules favoured the world with his three no-holds-barred anecdotes about life on campus with the royal couple: "Kate was the prettiest girl at St Andrews", "William and I once jumped in a fountain", "William once grabbed a pellet gun and two bodyguards ran in".And so it went on. There was a moment on Wednesday afternoon when William's Old University Friend Jules briefly disappeared from the schedules, leading to widespread panic, a desperate Twitter campaign and the sneaking suspicion that William's Old University Friend Jules might have somehow availed himself of a list of households without access to radio or television and was now going door to door, like a Jehovah's Witness, shouting through people's letterboxes about how Kate was the prettiest girl at St Andrews and William once grabbed a pellet gun. Happily, he soon returned to our screens, sometimes appearing with his fellow members of Blake ? who seem to be a kind of Boujis version of operatic man-band G4 ? serenading the happy couple and the nation alike with an acapella version of Chapel of Love. There are doubtless some among you who would decry this kind of thing as erring on the crass side, to whom Lost in Showbiz can only respond: look, it's exactly what Radiohead would have done had they had the good fortune to go to university with Prince William.Nevertheless, the media blitzkrieg seemed a little out of keeping with William's Old University Friend Jules's past form: he's very much kept the whole business of having been at university with Prince William on the downlow, mentioning it only in a series of interviews when Blake released their debut album, somehow finding time to bitterly complain to the Daily Mail that Kate Middleton had turned her back on her old university friends during their heavy promotional schedule for 2008's And So It Goes, and last year leaving their third album to stand entirely on its own merits, without the profile boost of an interview in the Sunday People in which he demonstrated his profound insider knowledge by announcing they wouldn't be getting married until 2012 and that Blake "might be performing at the wedding".Lost in Showbiz can only give thanks that he's finally decided to stick his head above the parapet. It furthermore notes that the wedding is supposed to be happening in March, looks forward to his continuing media omnipresence over the next 112 days and urges: come on William's Old University Friend Jules! Don't be shy! Tell us the one about the pellet gun again!CelebrityPrince WilliamKate MiddletonRoyal weddingAlexis Petridisguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More FeedsAngelina Jolie

The Evolution Of Emma Watson: Photos Of The 'Harry Potter' Star Through The Years
Maybe you were one of the people who called it way back in 2000, that the then 10-year-old Emma Watson, a.k.a. Harry Potter's best platonic gal pal, would one day be hot. If you were, well, that's kind of weird. But at least there's some solace to be had in the knowledge that you were [...]George Lopez
