A crowd of Justin Bieber fans was thrilled to see their hero skateboarding outside his recording studio in Miami last night -- then he took off his shirt and they went BALLISTIC.Bieber was at the Hit Factory and a crowd of about 60 fans gathered…

Looks like someone's pulling a Lindsay Lohan!
Just without the free ride at the Chateau Marmont!
Following an incident last week where a strange man rang the doorbell of her Beverly Hills home with luggage and insisting that he had invited her to stay with him, Kim Kardashian is reportedly so terrified that she's actually selling the property, and looking for a new place in gated communities around Bel Air and Mulholland!
Heads up, potentials! She requires around-the-clock gated security!

Gaining quite the passion for the halfpipe, Justin Bieber was back out for another skateboarding session in Miami, FL on Friday night (February 3).
Decked out in red gear, the 17-year-old "Never Say Never" star showed off his fancy moves for a gathered crowd of onlookers during a break from studio work on his new album Believe.
Tweeting about his Sunshine State doings, Bieber wrote earlier in the week, "“In the studio working on #BELIEVE - I GOT SO MUCH LOVE FOR THE FANS...you are always there for me and I will always be there for you. MUCH LOVE. thanks” Also voicing his appreciation for those who support him, Justin added last night, "just did an interview with a reporter. good dude. i explained to him i care less what people think of me. but what my fans think matters."Photo Credit: INF Daily
Exactly what we like to hear our potential presidential nominees involved in!
Edward Dillard, a man from Florida, has filed a lawsuit against Newt Gingrich and his security team after they apparently roughed him up outside the Florida Republican Presidential Primary on January 31st - for supporting Ron Paul!
According to the legal documents, Gingrich and his wife, Callista, approached him outside the polling place and shook his hand, but when he noticed Dillard wearing a shirt expressing his support for Paul, the nominee "immediately turned his back" and went to greet other people. His security team then apparently approached him and tried to "intimidate him into moving from the spot."
When that didn't work, he asserts that one of the agents "lifted his heeled shoe over Dillard's right foot and dug the back of it into his skin, twisting it side-to-side like he was stomping out a cigarette, causing a fracture to Dillard's right foot," and then shouted to other members of the team, "Everyone step on his toes!"
What on EARTH?! What is this, a group of schoolyard bullies running a political campaign?!
If true, this is absolutely DESPICABLE - and shameful!
We'll be very curious to hear what kind of response Newt has for this!

Although Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump shot a pilot for her own spin-off show, Bravo has reportedly passed on it!
"Lisa was hoping to follow in the footsteps of New York housewife Bethenny Frankel who had her own successful spin-offs focusing on her wedding and new baby but the network decided not to pick up her show."
Well, we adore her, and certainly think she has what it takes to carry her own show, but if worst case scenario here is that she just sticks to Housewives, then that's fine with us, too!
We hope you're not too bummed, gurl!

Give credit where credit is due, but if there is any truth behind a lawsuit against Drake, the rapper doesn't really like to do that.
A woman named Ericka Lee dated the hitmaker from 2010-2011 and says she helped him write his hit single Marvin's Room. She was reportedly offered $50,000 by Drake "to go away and not file a lawsuit against him," instead of given a credit as a co-writer.
Well, now she's suing for that credit, along with unspecified damages, attorney's fees and punitive damages after alleging in court documents:
"They traded poems, song lyrics and discussed untertaking creative projects together. Lee candidly shared her life story and creative ideas with Drake and trusted him as a confidant, lover and friend."
To make her case, she's even got text messages from the music star which appear to recognize she had a part in writing the song, reading things like, "U basically made that song," and "it's s**t without you."
So far the song sold over half a million downloads, while accumulating 38 million views on YouTube.
What's the deal, Drake? Did you screw this young lady over or is she just pissed that you dumped her?

The New York Giants quarterback shares one of his favorite childhood treats
Despite initial reports that Lily Collins would take the part, Jane Levy is said to be in talks for the lead role in the upcoming "Evil Dead" remake.
According to Deadline, the "Suburgatory" star will act as a replacement to "Mirror, Mirror" actress Collins, who was forced to drop out of the Fede Alvarez-directed film due to scheduling conflicts.
The report adds that Jane will play the part of Mia, originally fronted by Bruce Campbell, who is described as "one of five young people who head to the remote cabin where evil awaits." As for the film itself, production is scheduled to get underway in New Zealand sometime in the near future, with hopes for an April 12, 2013 theatrical debut. Photo Credit: Getty Images

Start saving your pennies now. People spend $300 on crazy things all the time, things like handbags. So work all year, scrape the money together and come to my show. I'm worth it.

We knew Charlie Sheen really wanted to get Selma Blair for his new show, and now we're hearing that he got her…
… AND Shawnee Smith!!
They'll be playing ex-wife and therapist, respectively. We couldn't think of anybody better for the roles!
Shooting starts in March, so we'll get to see Anger Management debut in June. We're just wondering if he'll be able to keep it together. He said:
“At this stage of the game, to deliver a turd? It’s not going to happen. It’s going to be an absolute f—in' rocket ship to the moon.”
We guess what we're trying to say is that anything's possible at this point, because that quote is classic Sheen, but the fact that he was able to keep quiet on the potential stars for as long as he did when they asked him to shows us he trying!
Here's the breakdown for Smith's character:
Smith will play Charlie’s ex-wife Jennifer, a role billed as a sexy woman who doesn’t exactly have it together. Married young, she never found an identity outside of Charlie. They divorced after he spent years cheating on her, but they remain close and are raising their teen daughter together.
And Blair's:
The other woman in Charlie’s life belongs to Blair, who has been cast to play his therapist, Kate, a character described as beautiful, if a bit neurotic. As his former team psychologist, she helped Sheen’s Charlie control his anger. Now, she is both his friend and his therapist with benefits.
We hope it all works out, guys, and that you have a hit on your hands!
Good luck filming next month!
And Charlie — keep it together!

Sultan of sleaze Joe Francis is threatening to sue Madonna if she performs her new song called "Girls Gone Wild" at the Super Bowl tomorrow. Yes, really.
Francis, creator of the infamous Girls Gone Wild franchise, in which he films drunk girls exposing themselves on spring break, is apparently dead serious.
He has issued a cease and desist letter claiming he will take legal action against Madonna if she sings that particular song at this weekend's festivities.
The letter (sent to Madonna, NBC Universal and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell) from Francis' Nevada lawyer David Houston, states that:
"[Francis] became aware of Madonna's new track based on the presales of her new album MDNA, as the #1 song on the album is 'Girls Gone Wild.'"
"Mr. Francis and Girls Gone Wild have worked tirelessly for an excess of two decades to build his brand and to protect his trademark Girls Gone Wild."
"Girls Gone Wild's trade identity and trademark are both extremely valuable assets which my client must protect vigorously," the letter continues.
The letter claims Madonna has "violated Federal and State trademark laws by making unauthorized use of Mr. Francis' trademark Girls Gone Wild."
For what it's worth, it looks like she wasn't going to sing it anyway.
Madonna's set list reportedly includes "Give Me All Your Luvin'," "Ray of Light" and "Vogue," along with "Music" and "Holiday." No GGW action.
Houston tells E! News regarding the set list, "That would be a wise choice on her part." Good luck getting it off the album and iTunes, though.

It's been nearly two weeks since she was rushed to the hospital after going into convulsions, however Demi Moore's whereabouts following her emergency visit to a Los Angeles, CA medical facility are still unknown.
While speculation over the location of her recovery has had the Internet abuzz, friends of the 49-year-old are staying mum. telling People, "Demi is such a private person and where she is now is being kept top secret," while another pal added that only a "very close" circle of the star's friends know where she's currently residing.
Several reports claim Moore is undergoing "spiritual counseling," while others suggest that she's being treated at the Cirque Lodge in Sundance, Utah. Despite the rumors, the only confirmation Demi's camp has given since her medical emergency is that she was seeking "professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health."

Tending to afternoon daddy duties, Gabriel Aubry was spotted picking up daughter Nahla from her Los Angeles, CA school on Friday (February 3).
Looking quite tuckered out after a long day of learning, the adorable 3-year-old could be seen resting her head on her father's shoulder as the two quickly made their way to an awaiting car.
And according to a TMZ report, the latest sighting of the daddy/daughter duo comes after a ruling in the custody battle between Gabriel and ex Halle Berry. While all the details of the decision have yet to be revealed, the website tells that Aubry will not lose custody of Nahla while he's being investigated on accusations of child endangerment.

The young singer stars in a new video for a track titled "Hot Stuff," which is produced by Ark Music Factory, the same company that made a star out of Rebecca Black.
And, no offense to Lexi, who may be perfectly nice and innocent in all this, but the song makes Black's "Friday" sound like a Grammy winner.
In it, Sullivan appears to be singing about some cute boy who isn't very nice, so his glasses break and some other stuff happens and, really, you just need to watch for yourself. But do it with ear plugs, folks. You've been warned...
Ben Gazzara, a popular character actor, passed away Friday at the age of 81. The cause of death was pancreatic cancer, his lawyer told The New York Times.
His powerful dramatic performances brought an intensity to a variety of roles and made him a memorable presence in iconic productions over the years.
From the original Cat on a Hot Tin Roof on Broadway to the movie The Big Lebowski and countless others, he made an impact on stage, screen and film.

Accomplished as an actor, and known as dapper and irresistible to women, Gazzara (also known for Roadhouse) came by his many streetwise roles naturally.
He began his career on Broadway productions, later moving to California to appear in movies, including Anatomy of a Murder and The Young Doctors.
He also played his most famous role on TV, as a doomed attorney on NBC's answer to ABC's The Fugitive. Called Run for Your Life, it ran from 1965-68.

Receiving yet another accolade thanks to her performance in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," Rooney Mara looked glamorous in green as she arrived on the red carpet at the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara, California on Friday night (February 3).
The 26-year-old actress was on-hand to be presented as one of this year's recipients of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival's Virtuosos Award - with the tribute having been created to "recognize a select group of actors who have distinguished themselves through performances in film."
With other 2012 Virtuosos Award honorees including Shailene Woodley, Patton Oswalt, Andy Serkis, Demián Bichir and Melissa McCarthy, Festival Director Roger Durling said of the selections, “I’m ecstatic about this strong line-up of Virtuosos. They all gave us indelible performances.” The SBIFF evening comes as Miss Mara was recently interviewed by Vanity Fair for their March 2012 Hollywood Issue (watch below) - in which she spoke about how her taste in film isn’t usually satisfied by the mainstream entertainment industry. “Most of the actors I admire the most don’t get that much press, but on purpose. I think usually throughout the year, some of the best performances are sort of the ones that are under the radar," Rooney opined. "I usually think the most interesting work is the work that is not viewed by the masses.” Photo Credit: FameFlynet.comProving he's got what it takes to bring in the cash outside of "Harry Potter," Daniel Radcliffe's new movie "The Woman In Black" spooked its way atop the box office to begin the weekend of February 3-5, 2012.
The thriller/horror flick about a young lawyer and a vengeful ghost in a remote village has edged out the competition by garnering an estimated $8.1 million on opening day while projected to take $19.8 during its first weekend of release.
Making for a tightly contested battle, another newcomer nabbed itself the runner-up position, as the Josh Trank directed drama/sci-fi motion picture "Chronicle" took home $8.0 million on Friday with a predicted debut weekend take of $19.7 million. Rounding out the top five at the box office in estimated weekend totals are last week's winner "The Grey" ($9.4 million) and the Drew Barrymore/John Krasinski starring whale tale "Big Miracle" ($8 million) in third and fourth while fifth place is a stalemate between Kate Beckinsale's "Underworld: Awakening" and Katherine Heigl's "One For the Money" ($4.9 million).It's always one of the hottest stops on the pre-game party circuit, and GQ, Lacoste and Patron Tequila teamed up once again to throw a star-studded Super Bowl celebration in Indianapolis, Indiana on Friday night (February 3).
With several hundred stylish party guests packing into the arty Stutz Building venue, model/actress Brooklyn Decker mingled with fellow ladies such as Erin Andrews and Catt Sadler on the arrivals carpet before joining back up with her tennis pro hubby Andy Roddick to partake in the fun-silled festivities.
Also in attendance were Hollywood stars including David Arquette, Adam Levine, Joe Manganiello and Peter Berg, as well as pro athletes like Terrell Owens, Hines Ward and Greg Jennings. Partygoers kept busy by hitting up the foosball and pool tables while sipping on an array of Patron infused cocktails, all the while enjoying musical entertainment provided by LL Cool J and The Roots drummer Questlove, who manned the deejay booth.

The L.A. Galaxy footballer and the royal redhead both turned up at The Arts Club, with David's "best friend" Dave Gardner and Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins also among the partygoers.
Taking the UK festivities into the wee hours of Saturday morning, Becks and Harry both turned up at the Charles Dickens founded private members club at around 10 PM while being spotted making separate exits at 3 AM. The night out comes after David pre-taped an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show earlier in the day, during which he revealed that he and wife Victoria are pondering the possibility of adding on to their brood of four. Of the potential family expansion, the 36-year-old dished, “We might have one or two more [kids], you never know. We’re not thinking about it yet, but if it happens, great. We’re enjoying the kids as it is. It’s always a thought. We might keep going.” Also talking about his baby girl, Beckham lovingly said, ““[Harper is] seven months now. I can’t even look at her without welling up.

It's a doubly great day to be an Adam Lambert fan today.
First, the singer announced that he would front an upcoming tour with the remaining band members of Queen, hitting up various arenas and stadiums in honor of late singer Freddie Mercury.
Now, Lambert has released the official music video for his latest single - off his soon-to-be-released album - "Better Than I Know Myself." In it, we see two sides of the singer, as a pair of personalities square off; one is all dark and leather-y, the other calm, serene, sipping on tea even.
Which will win out? Watch and see what happens:
Enjoying an afternoon lunch date, Tinseltown love birds Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were spotted together at Studio Cafe in Studio City, CA on Friday afternoon (February 3).
Channeling her inner grunge while out with her beau, the "Party in the USA" songstress dressed in a blue flannel top, black bustier, vintage cut off jeans and mid-calf leather boots while Liam kept it cool and casual in a red t-shirt, relaxed denim and white sneakers.
The week-ending lunch date comes as Ms. Cyrus has once again taken a stand on gay marriage and equality, dishing her opinions on a recent Glamour.com post. "I believe every American should be allowed the same rights and civil liberties. Without legalized same-sex marriage, most of the time you cannot share the same health benefits, you are not considered next of kin and you are not granted the same securities as a heterosexual couple. How is this different than having someone sit in the back of the bus because of their skin color?," she wrote. Miley continued, "My dad, who is a real man's man, lives on the farm and is as Southern and straight as they come. He loves my gay friends and even supports same-sex marriage. If my father can do it, anyone can."Photo Credit: Wenn.comMiley Cyrus has gone very public with her defense of gay marriage.
In July of last year, the singer got a tattoo (below) on her finger that she posted on Twitter, along with the caption "All LOVE is Equal." She got a lot of flak for the move, criticism she's now responding to via an editorial in Glamor.
"A lot of people mocked me," Miley writes. "They said, 'What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!' And I said, 'Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.'"
Cyrus is speaking out now on the topic, she says, due to the "unnecessary threats" leveled at both her and her supporters. She adds:
"I believe every American should be allowed the same rights and civil liberties. Without legalized same-sex marriage, most of the time you cannot share the same health benefits, you are not considered next of kin and you are not granted the same securities as a heterosexual couple. How is this different than having someone sit in the back of the bus because of their skin color?"
It's just not right, Miley concludes of the argument that homosexual couples are somehow held to a different standard than heterosexual couples.
"We all should be tolerant of one another and embrace our differences," she writes.
No doubt Cyrus will fall under fire once again for making her beliefs on this controversial subject well known, which is exactly why we admire her so much for doing so.
As speculation mounts, the location "is being kept top secret," a source says

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.
In 2003, Aaron Carter went so far as to file for legal emancipation from his mother, Jane Carter, after accusing her of mismanaging his money.
The next year, Jane Carter was arrested and charged with battery in an alleged attack on her estranged husband's then-girlfriend, Ginger Elrod.
In 2005, big brother Nick was arrested for DUI in Southern California.
In 2008, 20-year-old Aaron was charged with marijuana possession.
Leslie, who was married and has a one-year-old daughter, remained close to both brothers, but felt increasingly lost in her own life. Says the source:
"This is a family who has had a lot of problems. At any given time, I didn't know who was speaking to who, who was in trouble, who was clean."
Leslie (she was estranged from her husband) was living with her father, Robert, in Buffalo N.Y., as she tried to wean herself off of medication.
Tragically, she couldn't in time.
Three prescription bottles were found at the scene were she was unresponsive: Olanzapine, used to treat schizophrenia and/or bipolar disorder, the muscle relaxant Cyclobenzaprine, and the anxiety medication Xanax.
Sources close to the Carters say the tragedy has hit the family hard. Just hours after Leslie's death, Aaron Carter posted on her Facebook page:
"RIP my dearest sister. I love u."
We "were actually really good," Khloé writes on her blog
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.
