The recently engaged Katy Perry and recently separated Avril Lavigne are said to be the two out of three new faces for the face wash brand Proactiv.  The company is looking to refresh the brand with new celebrities as well as new packaging.  If this works out well, I may go back to using the products ;).

In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Madge discussed her collaborations with Justin Timberlake on the song "4 Minutes" and with rapper Lil Wayne on "Revolver" which she referred to as "badass".

However, someone the Material Girl wanted to work with didn't accept the offer. That someone was Eminem. "I wanted to work with him, but he didn't want to work with me." Her reason for his decline, "Maybe he's shy."

Too bad Michigan's bad girl and bad boy couldn't come together for what could've been an amazing collaboration.

so M.I.A. is supposed to perform at the upcoming Oscars, but according to E! News

it's been confirmed that the couple are going their separate ways. i'm sure Madge fans don't want to believe that it's the whole A-rod situation that caused the split, but i'm sure we'll find out eventually. i have no doubt these two will do well on their own but i just hope the kids come out of it ok.

apparently this is the last season (tear) but i cannot wait for tonight!!! every time i watch this show i have a need to move to LA. the "friendships", style, boys, and DRAMA are priceless. so you all know the drill right? between 10pm-10:30pm i must be left alone.

it's rumored that Will Ferrell will be "stay[ing] classy" by reprising his "Anchorman" role. in the sequel, the out of pocket news reporter and his collegues will be going through the motions in the 1980's. i simply cannot wait!!

The Neptunes producer has a baby on the way with a “model type” woman who he met in Miami earlier this year. The New York Post reports that the unidentified woman “is very pregnant and travels with him. She hangs out with the backstage crew when he performs.” Supposedly the singer is very hush-hush about the pregnancy. But it’s too late for secrets now, the N.E.R.D. singer’s unborn fetus is already fodder for the New York Post’s ‘Page Six’ and the B.A.B.Y. hasn’t even finished incubating yet.

they're all smiles in this pic, but yesterday Puff put Naomi in her place causing the birthday girl to ring in her 38th year in tears. he held a party for Naomi in Cannes and apparently the two got into a big argument where Diddy demanded that she get thrown out of the party. well, someone had to do it.

"Yo, anybody that's not a fan; don't come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya'll two cents in? Ya'll rated my album shitty and now ya'll come to the show and give it a B+. What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn't dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can't have fun and lose yourself at this tour it's a good chance you're a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don't know shit about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. You're fucking trash! I make art. You can't rate this. I'm a real person. I'm not a pop star. I don't care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me...BOW!! This is not pop, it's pop art!" - mr. West
