Unlucky in Love: Nick Jonas & Delta Goodrem Call It Quits

1:24 AM |

Tinseltown doesn't always have the best reputation for relationship luck, and Nick Jonas and Delta Goodrem have helped to continue that trend.

The "Camp Rock" hunk and "Lost Without You" singer have officially called it quits after dating for ten months.

The couple released a joint statement from Goodmen's rep that read: “Nick and Delta have decided mutually to end their relationship. At this point in time, they are both focused on their careers as they go on different paths. They remain friends and wish each other the best for the future.”

The Australian beauty and the youngest member of the Jonas Brothers first stepped out last May, shortly after Goodrem's engagement to Brian McFadden was called off.

The separation comes as the two are both busy in their careers - as Jonas is currently performing on Broadway in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" while Goodrem is working on Australia’s version of "The Voice" as both a judge and a coach.

1:18 AM |

It looks like the rumors were true.

After much speculation about whether a possible Rihanna-Chris Brown music collaboration might be in the works, the former couple tweeted remixes to their respective songs on her birthday Monday...

"@rihanna goo.gl/ttRJR YIKES!!! Cake, cake, cake!," Brown tweeted with a link to the Rihanna's "Birthday Cake" remix, which features Brown delivering some suggestive lyrics.

But that wasn't all.

Shortly after Rihanna responded with, "#RihannaNavy Come and put ya name on it!!!!! RT @chrisbrown: @rihanna goo.gl/ttRJR YIKES!!! Cake, cake, cake!", she went on to tweet her other collaboboration with Brown to the masses.

"@chrisbrown Turn up the music remix #RihannaNavy #Teambreezy enjoy!!! vimeo.com/mechanicaldumm…," Rihanna wrote.

While the pair seem pleased with the work, the question is whether fans are willing to overlook the memory of Brown's 2009 assault against the singer—which at least some people seem not inclined to do—and listen to the music.

Thoughts? Sound off in the comments.

During a recent interview, Jen opened up about her first marriage to actor Scott Foley, telling, "I did marry in my twenties and I found divorce a crushing experience. I thought the divorce statistics would never apply to me. I was beyond heartbroken when they did. But I got up and got on with it. I also kept my belief in marriage. I did not have a fairytale vision of the future but I still believed I would find someone to commit to and raise kids with."

Fast-forward to current hubby Ben Affleck, of whom the brunette star gushed, “Ben is not only my husband, he has helped me in every way. He is the base of my life.

M.I.A. She'll Be Left Holding the Bag If NBC Gets Fined

11:13 PM |

M.I.A. will end up paying any fines imposed on NBC as a result of her finger wag during the Super Bowl halftime show ... sources told TMZ. Sources say ... the NFL has indemnified NBC ... because the NFL is responsible for the halftime content.

But the NFL was smart, given the history of performers who wanted to do something shocking to get attention during the biggest TV event of the year. So we're told ... M.I.A. signed a contract with the NFL for the halftime performance, and in that contract M.I.A. agreed to indemnify the NFL for any money it might be forced to pay if the FCC comes down on the Peacock Network.

Remember, CBS was hit with a $550,000 FCC fine after Janet Jackson's famous wardrobe malfunction, but that fine was thrown out by a federal appeals court.

Sources tell us ... aside from the fact that the NFL doesn't want to pay a huge fine, the organization wants to send a message to performers -- don't you dare screw with us.

We don't know if the NFL got a similar indemnity clause from Madonna.

Judge to Amber Portwood Get Your Ass in Rehab

11:10 PM |

"Teen Mom" star Amber Portwood won't be heading to prison ... yet -- because a judge just gave the MTV reality star one last chance to clear her name ... by entering rehab.

TMZ broke the story ... Amber struck a plea deal with prosecutors in her drug case last month -- a deal that would allow Amber to avoid a 5-year prison sentence by completing a court-mandated drug rehabilitation program. An Indiana judge approved the deal today.

If Amber successfully completes the Madison County Drug Court program, her drug case will be entirely dismissed -- but if she screws up, she'll be thrown in the slammer.

Amber was arrested in December for drug possession and failing to provide a urine sample (a stipulation of her probation).

Amber will remain in custody pending a full evaluation by the Drug Court team -- which could take up to two weeks. Once accepted into the program, the judge will release her.

Madonna is expected to perform "Give Me All Your Luvin'" as part of her Super Bowl halftime performance Sunday in Indianapolis. Watch the video below!

Rihanna: Topless! Blonde! Tweeting!

3:43 PM |

An apparently topless Rihanna showed off her long blonde hair on Twitter last night. She's rocked everything from massive red curls to a platinum bob with blunt bangs in the past couple of months. Now, she's debuted yet another dramatic 'do.

Which really looks good with no shirt:

The 23-year-old singer tweeted the pic of herself sporting a long, layered blonde style (and not much else!) along with the following message: "#Back2Work 1st Cover of the year!!! #ELLE," followed by "Bleach + weave #WERQ."

Later that night she sat courtside at L.A.'s Staples Center to watch the Clippers (bet you didn't hear THAT three years ago) beat the Nuggets, turning heads with her new locks.

Adam Lambert to Front Queen Tour This Summer

3:41 PM |

He is the champion, our friends.

Adam Lambert will join iconic band Queen on tour this summer, both sides announced this week, a development that follows the singer's 2009 American Idol finale performance with original members Brian May and Roger Taylor; as well as their teaming up again at the MTV European Music Awards in November.

"The intention is to pay tribute to [late singer Freddie Mercury] and the band by singing some f-cking great songs," Lambert tells Great Britain's The Daily Star. "It’s to keep the music alive for the fans and give it an energy that Freddie would have been proud of."

Lambert, of course, admits that he has no intention of replacing Mercury, who passed away from AIDS in 1991.

"That's impossible," he said. "The way I’m choosing to view it is that it’s a great honor and one I’m in no way going to shirk."

Adam and the group will tour in May and stop at Knebworth in England, where Queen played their final gig with Mercury in 1986.

Eddie Murphy Dead? No, Just Another Hoax

3:38 PM |

The Internet is abuzz with reports that Eddie Murphy is dead. He is not.

We repeat: Twitter is not a news source. Eddie Murphy is 100% alive.

Sources close to the Tower Heist star have already debunked the hoax, just the latest in a long line of online pranks designed to fake kill a star for some reason.

The frenzy was initially sparked by MediaFetcher (dot) com, then spread like wildfire thanks to Twitter. This site is believed to be responsible for spinning bogus stories about other numerous celebrities they claim are dead but are not.

The Bon Jovi death hoax was a different guy, but Cher, Charlie Sheen, TooShort, The Rock, Kevin Bacon, Luke Perry, Jack Black, Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Tom Green, Tiger Woods, George Clooney and others have fallen victim of late.

All are still alive and kicking. Thank goodness.

Leslie Carter Ashton: Depression, Addiction, Quest For Fame Led to Tragic Death

3:35 PM |

The late Leslie Carter (married name Leslie Carter Ashton) died earlier this week.

While Leslie Carter's cause of death was an apparent overdose of prescription drugs, the 25-year-old's trouble with depression was a long time in the making.

It stemmed in large part from the fact that "She thought she would become the next famous Carter sibling," says a source who once managed her brothers.

In Leslie's case, although signed to DreamWorks Records, stardom eluded her.

Backstreet Boys singer Nick, of course, became very successful, as did younger brother Aaron. Leslie (below, right) felt great pressure to follow in their footsteps.

"She was always extremely happy for her brothers, don't get me wrong," says the source, in an interview with People magazine. "But it was tough for her."

According to sources close to the family, Leslie remained supportive of her brothers. At various family events, she would happily appear alongside them.

When all five siblings signed on for the E! show House of Carters, Leslie was an enthusiastic participant. "She really loved the attention," says the source.

But according to a police report, Leslie's stepmother, Ginger, stated that Leslie "had a history of mental illness and was on medication for her depression."

Life in the Carter family was nearly always chaotic.
