Alexis DeJoria and Jesse James at a race in Ennis, Texas, on September 23. (Mark J. Rebilas/US Presswire)Despite his reputation, serial cheater Jesse James has convinced someone to marry him. The ex-husband of Sandra Bullock, who had affairs with as many as 11 women behind his famous wife's back, is reportedly engaged to Alexis DeJoria, a drag racer and multi-billionaire heiress to the Paul Mitchell hair company.

Moving fast seems to be James' M.O.: He also popped the question to Kat Von D after roughly five months, but the two split for good a second time in September 2011 after she claims she discovered he had cheated on her with 19 women, which he did not deny nor confirm.

Britney Spears. (Getty Images)will.i.am. (FilmMagic)After months of teasing their collaboration, Britney Spears and will.i.am finally debuted "Scream and Shout" on Ryan Seacrest's radio show on Monday … and it's not exactly worthy of all the hype. The four-and-a-half minute song begins with a very Black Eyed Peas dance beat and a British female voice — there are mixed reports on whether or not it's Spears — saying repeatedly, "When we up in the club/all eyes on us." After 45 seconds, will.i.am appears, with the actual Spears close behind him when she sings back-up on the chorus, "I wanna scream and shout and let it all out" — and that's about all she contributes. Another male voice announces, "You are rocking with will.i.am and …" then we hear her infamous "Britney, bitch" from her song, "Gimme More."
