After performing in Rio last night, Beyonce was spotted this morning on the balcony of the Fasano Hotel waving to the fans who were waiting outside to see a glimpse of Beyonce.

Rihanna rides the beat like…a zebra in the video for “Rude Boy,” the third single from her Rated R album. The clip was directed by Melina, who helmed the militaristic-couture “Hard,” and will premiere this Thursday on VEVO.

Lady Gaga has created some visual masterpieces in the past, but according to the pop superstar, her latest work will top them all.


The music video for “Telephone,” the second single from The Fame Monster, features Beyoncé and was shot in Los Angeles the week before the Grammys. The two singers previously collaborated on the song and video for Beyoncé’s “Video Phone (Extended Remix).”

Gaga recalled going in front of the lens with B for the second time. “It was really amazing,” she told Johnjay and Rich on Phoenix’s 104.7 KISS FM. “Beyoncé’s incredible and I had a lot of time with her, so I was able to put her in quite a bit of the video.”

The Jonas Åkerlund-directed clip reportedly picks up where “Paparazzi” left off, but surpasses its predecessors. “I feel so bad for the ‘Bad Romance’ video ’cause the ‘Telephone’ video’s so much better,” she said.

The Grammy-winning pals had a blast on set. “[Beyoncé's] really a great friend of mine. We have a lot of fun working together. We’re so very different in our approaches, but somehow when we come together it’s really magical. I’m very excited for everyone to see the video.”

The anticipation is building for the premiere, scheduled for this month. “What I like about it is it’s a real true pop event, and when I was younger, I was always excited when there was a big giant event happening in pop music and that’s what I wanted this to be.”

A long-standing television record was rewritten last night, as CBS’s broadcast of Super Bowl XLIV became the most-watched TV program in history.

Nielsen says 106.5 million TV viewers watched the New Orleans Saints defeat the Indianapolis Colts, according to reports by the Associated Press. That surpasses the 105.97 million who watched the series finale of M*A*S*H on Feb. 28, 1983, which was also aired on CBS.
The previous record viewership for a Super Bowl was set just last year, when 98.7 million people watched the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Arizona Cardinals.

While Drew Brees and Peyton Manning certainly attracted plenty of attention on Sunday night, Hawkeye and Klinger can be comfortable knowing their mark was made in an era with fewer TV sets and a smaller population.

Beyoncé brings her A-game to VIZIO’s Super Bowl commercial promoting the LCD HDTV company’s new line of Internet-connected televisions. The multi-million-dollar spot, which debuted during the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLIV, was directed by Oscar-nominated cinematographer Wally Pfister (The Dark Knight) and co-stars YouTube sensations.

Wedding bells could be in Kevin Federline's future.

Britney Spears's ex-husband, who is currently dating former college volleyball star Victoria Prince, hasn't soured on marriage, even though his divorce from Spears led to depression that fueled his overeating and made him "borderline obese."

"Anything is possible," he told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS- FM radio show Monday. "Would I get married again? Definitely."

Asked if his divorce from Spears had made him wary of marriage, he said, "No, I'm not. I just want to be happy. Right now, I really am happy. Victoria's a great person. She's an incredible person."

In the continuing saga of Michael Jackson's death, a major development has surfaced:
Dr. Conrad Murray has been charged with the involuntary manslaughter of the late King of Pop. The doctor is due in court later today to answer the charges, but is expected to plead not guilty to causing the death of the 50-year-old singer, whose passing last June was ruled a homicide by drug overdose last month, with the anaesthetic Propofol, administered by Murray, considered the primary factor.

Dr. Conrad Murray (NewYorkDailyNews.com)According to the criminal complaint, Los Angeles' District Attorney alleges the star's personal physician "did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson ... in the commission of an unlawful act, not a felony; and in the commission of a lawful act which might have produced death, in an unlawful manner, and without due caution and circumspection."

If convicted, Murray faces a maximum of four years in prison. Murray is expected to be accompanied to court by a bail bondsman who will post bail, which is expected to be $25,000 and will not waive his right to a preliminary hearing. Law enforcement officials previously revealed that prosecutors planned to charge the doctor with involuntary manslaughter, alleging he gave Michael the powerful anesthetic to help him sleep but that instead led to his death.

Singing sensation Rihanna is a pro on the stage, and now she's thinking she might try her hand at dropping the mic and picking up some acting gigs in the future. She's already given it a shot when she appeared in a digital short on Saturday Night Live, and now she might be ready to step it up even more. After her performance at the Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam in Miami, Rihanna confessed to Extra's AJ Calloway that she would "love" to get into acting.

Rihanna (Getty)"After the tour, we're definitely going to focus on that a little bit more," she dished. The pop star also knows who she wants to share the screen with! RiRi calls beauty Charlize Theron a "perfect 10" and thinks funnyman Jonah Hill is "hysterical."

Rihanna is currently hard at work getting ready to kick off her world tour this spring. "I've never done a tour to this capacity and the production level is really exciting," she said. "I can't wait for the world to see it!" 

Audiences during the Super Bowl last night were highly amused by a Snickers advertisement featuring The Proposal star Betty White. In the commerical, the actress played a touch football player feeling out of sorts -- until, of course, she enjoys a delicious Snickers bar.

White stars as "Mike," a player who's performing so badly on the field that his team compares him to Betty White. Mike's girlfriend pulls him to the sideline and hands him a Snickers bar, which instantly transforms him from Betty White into a young, handsome, athletic football player type and gets him ready for the next play.

We’re assuming Ke$ha has grown so bored of giving sassy-tongued interviews, she’s trying out new ways to get attention in this town. The animalistic pop singer and some pals trespassed into the Hollywood hills last night to grafitti the iconic Hollywood sign. Don’t believe this is real?

Robin Thicke and Nicki Minaj pose backstage at the Ed Sullivan Theater on Thursday (Feb. 4) before taping the “Late Show with David Letterman.” Watch as Young Money’s First Lady makes her big debut performing “Shakin’ It 4 Daddy” with Thicke.

Fabolous continues to promote last summer’s Loso’s Way. He appeared on Wednesday’s “Lopez Tonight” to perform “Throw It in the Bag” with Song of the Year Grammy winner The-Dream, who’s expecting a baby girl with Christina Milian this month.

Questlove of The Roots Twitpic’d this foolishness today. Apparently this was the sign hanging outside of the NBC cafeteria (The Roots are the house band for Jimmy Fallon–on NBC). And folks are up in arms about the racist and stereotypical tone of this menu.

"Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane" Season 3 Trailer from Kimora Lee Simmons on Vimeo.

Kimora’s third season kicks off March 21st at 9PM EST/PST on the Style Network.

Queen Latifah is turning 40 in March — not that she’s focused on the numbers. “To me as long as you’re young at heart, it really doesn’t matter how old you are,” Latifah tells PEOPLE. “To me, age is really how you feel on the inside.” But with time, she has learned valuable health lessons that she wishes she’d practiced earlier. “I wish I had known more about nutrition and exercise and how really good it could affect you at a younger age. Then I would have kicked it up a lot sooner,” says the Jenny Craig spokesperson, who has kept off the 20-plus pounds she shed using the weight-loss program for almost three years. Nutrition is key: “I don’t really diet. I kind of keep everything in moderation, exercise and eat right. I eat a lot of vegetables and lean meats, and I drink a whole lot of water,” Latifah says, before admitting her weakness: “Mac and cheese…I gotta have it!” Beyond her dedication to staying healthy, the star is also committed to the Haitian relief effort, co-hosting the BET Network’s “SOS Saving Ourselves — Help for Haiti” telethon with Diddy and Pharrell, airing this Friday, February 5 on BET, Centric, MTV and VH1 at 8 P.M. EST. The Procter & Gamble- and Pepsi-sponsored event will benefit charities including Wyclef Jean’s Yéle Haiti. Latifah also hopes to give on a more personal level by building orphanages, and possibly even adopting: “I would love to, but it’s going to take some time because things are in a bit of disarray down there. That is definitely something I would try to do. There are a lot of kids who are in need of a good home now, and I definitely think I can provide that.”

Ke$ha's first hit single "TiK ToK" soared up the charts to become the No. 1 pop song – and now People.com has a first look a the singer's new video for "Blah Blah Blah."

The video, shot last week in Los Angeles, tells the story of the singer going on dates with guys who keep talking and talking – "blah blah blahing" – so she finds ways to shut them up.

The song and the video both feature an appearance by the members of 3OH!3, but they don't play Ke$ha's love interests. "The guys in the band 3OH!3, [are] like legitimate friends, and they're really, really nice guys," says Ke$ha.

As for her real love life, the singer is single and looking. "It really takes a strong guy to have a successful girlfriend who's as mouthy as I am, she told PEOPLE last month. "I've yet to find someone who can handle the sass. I just want somebody who's really cool – a really cool musician with a big beard."

Following her Oscar nomination this week for Best Actress, Precious star Gabourey Sidibe is now facing a tough decision: Who to bring to the March 7 ceremony.

That's not to say that the actress, 26, hasn't been giving this some thought already. "I want to make Justin Timberlake and [The Hurt Locker actor] Anthony Mackie fight it out for the honor of being my date," Sidibe told the Canadian entertainment TV show eTalk this week. "I'm just going to throw them in the ring and make them do it!"

But if Sidibe had to narrow it down to one guy, her heart is set on Timberlake. At one point during the interview, Sidibe turns toward the camera and makes her direct appeal. "Justin," she says, "if you're not doing anything on that night, maybe you could be my date or something. It's fine. No pressure!" (What would his girlfriend Jessica Biel think?)

This is not the first time that Sidibe, a self-professed 'N Sync fanatic, has expressed her awe at Timberlake. "Oh my God, Justin Timberlake just said my name," the actress told PEOPLE after the singer helped announce the Golden Globe nominations in December. "I told my roommate, and I literally said, 'Oh my God, Justin just said my name. He finally said my name.' "

The 15-year-old girl charged with teaming with her boyfriend to murder her mom threw out a surprise in court Monday: a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity.

During the brief hearing in a Northern California courtroom, Tylar Witt furrowed her brow and entered the insanity plea. Her boyfriend, Steven Colver, 20, pleaded not guilty to the murder last June of 47-year-old Joanne Witt.

Witt's defense attorney declined to explain the plea to the media. Colver's defense attorney, Dain Weiner, says he's not sure what's going on. "I don't know what facts they will be basing that defense on, or how those facts will mesh with our defense," Weiner says.

The couple are accused of plotting to murder Joanne Witt in her El Dorado Hills home after she showed sheriff's deputies her then-14-year-old daughter's diary and accused Colver of statutory rape.

Prosecutors say Tylar drugged her mother and then Colver stabbed her 20 times and slashed her throat with a butcher knife. A judge recently ruled that Tylar's apparent role in the horrific crime warrants her being tried as an adult.

Both defendants also pleaded not guilty to special circumstances of lying in wait and of killing a witness – enhancements that could mean life in prison if they are convicted. More could come out about the insanity plea when the court holds a hearing March 26 on numerous pretrial motions.
