Uh oh. Robin Thicke has gotten himself into a little trouble with the law. The Grammy winner was arrested in New York earlier today for possession of marijuana, after the cops happened upon him smoking a joint in a car. Apparently, he and another person were hanging out and indulging in a Cadillac Escalade that was parked near Third Avenue and East 21st Street. Dude, bro, getting arrested in Gramercy Park is so lame. More »

It's no secret that a lot of us get a little tingly in our magic area for Daniel Radcliffe now that he's come of age and it's totally acceptable to lust after him. Word must have gotten back to him somehow because the little rabblerouser can't seem to stop talking about sleeping with his fans and his fondness towards a hairy thicket. But now he's outdone himself by showing off a party trick on Spanish TV show El Hormiguero in what could only be described as a love letter to your vagina – the letter M to be precise. If a man has the dexterity to twist his tongue into an alphabetical shape then you know he's got some mad skills in the bedroom. That sound you just heard from your cubicle was middle management locking the doors to their office and drawing the blinds, if you hurry you can be the first one to occupy the accessible toilets.

Rosie O'Donnell and Chelsea Handler have gotten themselves into some super-sized trouble with the little person community. The two were chatting on Rosie's show when O'Donnell confessed, "I'm a little ashamed about it [but] I have a mild fear or anxiety around little people." Handler then went on to say some pretty demeaning and horrible things about people with dwarfism, even though she says she's their biggest fan. More »

Judging from the amount of pro-Chris Brown sentiment around at the moment he's going to need to punch a baby on live TV and follow it up with a statement saying how much he enjoyed it before his diehard supporters switch camps. Until then he's happy to continue antagonizing the majority who feel that he hasn't been sincere enough in his apologies and actions after beating Rihanna by Tweeting this delightful message for the benefit of those who dared to question the appropriateness of his Grammy performances: "HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now! That's the ultimate FUCK OFF!" Sensing that perhaps a verbally abusive uppercase rant wasn't the best way to shake his hard-earned girlfriend-beating, homophobic, self-pitying tag, he deleted that one and took things down a notch.

Courtney Love has gone on the attack after a new e-book, Courtney Comes Clean, charged that her hoarding habits were responsible for the death of her daughter Frances Bean Cobain's cat. And, as usual, she's doing her lashing out via Twitter in her famous nonsensical style. The cat killing allegations arose during the time that Frances was obtaining a restraining order against her, and the e-book relied on some of the documents presented in support of the order. They included details about the hoarding and also a story about how her presecription pills—which she was allegedly addicted to at the time—were scattered around and ended up killing Courtney's dog. Good god. No more pets for Courtney. More »

When most people break up with someone there are a few months of Facebook relationship demotions, awkward run-ins and a feverish return to the gym so that you can look hotter first before it all fades into an unpleasant memory. But not so for celebrities, who can be reminded of their past mistakes on an ongoing global basis for the rest of their natural lives. Take Angelina Jolie who will no doubt be thrilled to learn that her ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton has decided to make a movie inspired by his time with her. Entitled And Then We Drove, it's being positioned as an "ethereal" story about a man who picks up a "wild woman" while on a road trip and learns a thing or two about life and love – which sounds like a mix between a Reese Witherspoon rom-com and Rochelle, Rochelle aka "a young girl's strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk."

There were almost two tragedies in the family over the weekend, with sources revealing that Whitney Houston's daughter was found unconscious in a bath at the Beverly Hilton Hotel the day before her mother died in similar circumstances. Checked in under her mom's name and in a room on the same floor, friends grew concerned when she wasn't responding through the locked door and had to get security to let them into the bathroom -– where they found her asleep in the bath –- and help Bobbi out of the tub.

If you don't already know, let me be the first to apologize for ruining what should have been a placid Sunday of Grammy-snarking — Whitney Houston, the diva that even Bret Easton Ellis's misogynistic, socially-numb serial killer held in high esteem, died last night at the heart-breaking age of 48. Houston's hairdresser and bodyguard were the first to find the singer with her face underwater in her bathtub at the Beverly Hilton where she was staying. Details are still scant, but, with typical journalistic stoicism, TMZ is already reporting that a mélange of Xanax and alcohol probably caused Houston to lose consciousness and drown in the tub. With ironic cruelty, fate determined that as members from the music community gathered at the Beverly Hilton to celebrate another year in mediocre music, they would mingle with the Los Angeles County paramedics transporting Houston's body from her hotel room to the coroner's office for an autopsy. Though Houston was plagued by years of drug abuse and a tumultuous 14-year marriage to Bobby Brown, she became the most-honored female singer of all time over her 25-year career, collecting more than 400 awards — including 6 Grammys and 30 Billboard Awards — and selling more than 170 million albums worldwide. She had a movie career that includes the VH1 go-to Saturday afternoon movie, The Bodyguard, as well as the more respectable and awesomely titled Waiting to Exhale. She's also credited with influencing the generation of female singers who followed her, a group that includes the likes of Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, and Celine Dion, who, along with just about every other disconsolate celebrity, poured their sorrow and dismay through the social sluice ways late last night: More »

Macaulay Culkin has been looking pretty gaunt and disheveled lately, and last night he flaked on his monthly DJ gig at New York City's Le Poisson Rouge. A club employee said that "something just came up and he couldn't make it," and Culkin's spokesperson insists he's in good health, so it's possible he just wasn't in the mood to play music for a bunch of drunk assholes. Culkin is also rumored to be starring in an upcoming U.K film called Service Man about the military, so maybe he's preparing to play a sick soldier?

Though Lady Gaga's day wardrobe often consists of little more than some Saran Wrap and oversized sunglasses, she confessed she wasn't always so free and easy when it comes to body image and struggled with bulimia during high school. Speaking at a conference called It's Our Turn at an LA school, Gaga shared her story when a girl admitted to struggling with body issues and asked her how she got to be so confident. "I used to throw up all the time in high school. So I'm not that confident. I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night," she said, adding that she stopped when she realized the stomach acid was impacting negatively on her vocal chords. "Weight is still a struggle. Every video I'm in, every magazine cover, they stretch you – they make you perfect. It's not real life ... I'm gonna say this about girls: The dieting wars have got to stop. Everyone just knock it off. Because at the end of the day, it's affecting kids your age. And it's making girls sick."

Nothing but the best for Blue Ivy™. But here's a question: what the hell are Beyoncé and Jay-Z going to do with a stroller? That child is not going to see the light of day until she already knows how to walk, or maybe she won't even need to walk because she'll be carried aloft on a platform everywhere she goes.

First Karl Lagerfeld said she was "too fat" and then he came out and apologized, saying that his words were taken out of context and he too knew the sting of being vilified for your weight in the press. But Adele has come forward to say she couldn't give a fat fuck one way or the other because she's never aspired to be a model and is proud to offer a little balance when it comes to the representation of different body types in the media. "I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines," she said. "I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that." And it seems she's never been one to worry too much, saying last year that she tries to keep away from people who think weight is super-important. "I've seen people where it rules their lives, you know, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I just don't want that in my life," she said. "It's just never been an issue – at least, I've never hung out with the sort of horrible people who make it an issue. I have insecurities of course, but I don't hang out with anyone who points them out to me." [Daily Mail] More »

She was dragged through the mud back in November when she had the audacity to promote literacy in elementary schools, and now former adult star Sasha Grey is on trial once again thanks to a porn company who is trying to donate money to the program on her behalf. Leaving the industry last April, Assence Films are releasing one of Grey's final scenes as part of Anal Artists and wanted to donate a portion of the proceeds – without her knowledge – to the National Education Association's Read Across America program, but they don't want the green. "Sasha Grey is not affiliated with the National Education Association's Read Across America program nor has she been invited or endorsed by NEA to read at any of the association's Read Across America Day events, and NEA will not accept any proceeds from her latest, or any of her films," reads a statement. Okay, so they don't want the money, but did they have to insult her by lying and saying she was never invited to read in the first place? Was she allowed to just wander into the school on that day and read to kids unfettered? Perhaps instead of setting a bad example by being liar liar pants on fires and making it all about how much of a leper she is they should focus on the porn company who are trying to get free press off the back of her notoriety. But, of course, it will instead devolve into a debate about whether people who enjoy consensual adult sex should be allowed near children. [Huff Po] More »

His public image never quite recovered from the just fallout that came from violently assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna at a pre-Grammy party three years ago, but some idiot – or Chris Brown-hating genius – decided it'd be a solid idea to for him to celebrate that fateful evening by performing at, you guessed it, the Grammys.

She's yet to sign the divorce papers, but Katy Perry is clearly over Russell Brand because she's been making a sustained play for Tim Tebow. On stage to perform some songs at a pre-Super Bowl party, she made sure to let the virgin quarterback know that she'd be up for seeing his peacock any day of the week when she dedicated "Peacock" to him personally. But it didn't end there: Perry continued with a double-barrel assault at the NFL Honors ceremony on Saturday by singling him out when she took to the stage to present an award. "Hey Tim, my parents say hi," she said, a coy reference to the fact her minister parents have already said they want the pair to hook up because of Tebow's Christian beliefs. Slutty sources add there's every possibility that the two engaged in a frottage fiesta at the Super Bowl itself because they booked adjoining suites at the event. Stay tuned … [E!] More »

More than 20 years since she first went to rehab in 1985, Demi Moore is seeking treatment for her vague Red Bull/incense/Reddi-Whip addiction at the Cirque Lodge, a Shangri-La treatment center in Sundance, Utah for Hollywood's race of drug-addled demigods. Sources say that Moore entered the facility a week after her January 23 collapse during a party at her home in the Benedict Canyon area of Los Angeles, which means that someone at TMZ or E! spent too much time trying to come up with period jokes about Christina Aguilera's performance at the Etta James memorial and forgot to monitor the Demi Moore GPS tracker for updates on the actress's whereabouts. Cirque Lodge claims that it takes its patients' privacy "seriously" and there are probably all sorts of fancy ways that celebrities like Demi Moore have of slipping through the web of gossip magazines — maybe she took a helicopter or even teleported — but it seems like with a little bit less speculation about Moore's rumored Red Bull addiction and a little more relentless stalking we would have known that she'd gone to rehab and could have then made the appropriate arrangements to organize a vigil outside the Cirque Lodge's gates. Our well-wishes might not be welcome, though — according to one source, Moore is "on total lockdown and only talking to a small group of people." [Us, E!] More »

A woman claiming to be Drake's ex-girlfriend and writing partner is suing the rapper for allegedly ripping her off (and for pretending they never dated, although that's not technically a criminal offense). In a lawsuit filed yesterday, Ericka Lee claimed that she and Drake agreed to write the song "Marvin's Room" together and split the cash. Lee recorded the hook, and says that Drake was thankful for her contribution: according to her, he sent her texts like, "U basically made that song" and "it's shit without you" while they were working together. Aw, how sweet. But Lee says she never got paid, even though the song was the first single off Take Care and scored No.7 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Chart and 21 on the Hot 100. That was the end of the cute texts as well. According to the lawsuit, when Lee asked for more money, Drake called her and said, "What the fuck is your problem?" before trying to settling out of court for $50,000. More »

Well, the reality is just as hilarious/concerning, because they're going after our beloved Oprah 2.0, Ellen DeGeneres.

Doing press rounds for the film, he spoke about his preference for leaving a bit of hair down there and then went on to say he prefers his lady friends to do the same. "This is way too much information, but I don't like girls with nothing down there either," he said. "It freaks me out. You have to have something, otherwise it's fucking creepy." The way I see it, there are two schools of thought on the matter. The first is that some people consider a Brazilian to be clean and no fuss.

Cynthia Nixon's comments that being gay was a personal choice for her rankled all manner of folk earlier this month. And now she's weathered the shitstorm Nixon has come out to clarify her position – even though she did a pretty good job of it the first time around – and say that, for her, being gay is a choice but her bisexuality is not. "While I don't often use the word, the technically precise term for my orientation is bisexual. I believe bisexuality is not a choice, it is a fact. What I have 'chosen' is to be in a gay relationship," she told The Advocate. "I do, however, believe that most members of our community - as well as the majority of heterosexuals - cannot and do not choose the gender of the persons with whom they seek to have intimate relationships because, unlike me, they are only attracted to one sex." Personally, as a card-carrying 'mo, I must say that I wasn't riled up to begin with; it's her sexuality, let her define it how she pleases. She also had a point when she said that the whole debate has been ceded to bigots and we shouldn't let them dictate how we choose to define ourselves.

But people were like this [looks up].... So it was like I didn't think of the people downstairs and me there."  Though Celine Dion lives in Las Vegas and warm weather is probably not that big a deal to her anymore, I think if you've spent your Canadian childhood swaddled in heavy winter clothes, wearing a bare minimum of clothes because the weather's warm must still be pretty liberating.  Also, she looks fantastic and had a good chuckle about the whole thing, so if anyone's upset about this, get over it — celebrities have real human parts under their very expensive clothes, just like us normals.
