Carmen Electra's new song is available on iTunes. (Jonathan Clay Harris)The last time Carmen Electra released new music, Bill Clinton was in the White House (for his first term as president) and the Unabomber was on the loose. But now, 19 years later, the model-actress — who was actually discovered by Prince — is finally back with a new song, the dance-electronic Fergie-esque track "I Like It Loud," which was officially released on iTunes Tuesday. Since 1993, Electra has kept herself pretty busy with modeling and acting, but the entire time, "I've had this passion to get back into music," she tells omg!. "I feel very lucky because I've been able to do so many other things, and I love that. I need a variety in my life and my career. It's never boring. It's been challenging at times, but it's also been such an amazing ride. Deep down inside, throughout everything, I just still have this passion."

Rihanna. (Mario Sorrenti/GQ)Don't expect Rihanna to be singing "Call Me Maybe" or "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" any time soon. The sexy star — who poses completely naked, save for a cropped leather jacket and strategically-placed hands on one of GQ's Men of the Year covers (the other two feature Channing Tatum and Ben Affleck) — gives a little insight into her brand new album, Unapologetic, and why her songs are not your grandmother's kind of music.Snooki becomes a redhead

Rihanna at the VS Fashion Show. (Kevin Mazur/WireImage)Rihanna's "Diamonds" music video is not very sparkly — it's downright dark! The singer debuted the nearly-5-minute video on Thursday, and in it, she broods throughout a myriad of backdrops. "Diamonds" begins with Rihanna rolling a joint filled with the gems, and then smoking before a quick visual of her hand being ripped from a tattooed man's hand ... obviously a nod to Chris Brown. She's then shown running in the darkness from a bright light before ending up in the wild with two horses (one is lame and lying on the ground until the other helps it up and they run off together). At the end of the video, Rihanna wanders through an apocalyptical scene with dirt on her face as a man on fire walks calmly through the melee.‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ stars Adrienne Maloof and Paul Nassif settle divorce

Adrienne and Paul. (WireImage)Adrienne Maloof and Paul Nassif's July split has been one of the nastiest in all of Hollywood. She accused him of physical abuse (towards both her and their three children); he said she was a drunk who once attacked him. But somehow the two "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" stars managed to put their major differences aside so they could settle their divorce — just a little more than three months later.Dogs Gone Hollywood

Swayze. (Bruce Glikas/FilmMagic)Kirstie Alley has been cleaning the skeletons out of her romance closet lately. Just days after it was reported that she told Barbara Walters in an upcoming interview that John Travolta was "the greatest love of my life," she has now revealed she had similar feelings for Patrick Swayze. And just like with her "Look Who's Talking" co-star, she was married when she fell for the now-late actor when they starred together in the Civil War miniseries "North and South" in 1985.

Mr. and Mrs. Timberlake. (Getty Images)The international vacation kept continuing for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. After a week in southern Italy leading up to their reportedly $6.5 million nuptials at the Borgo Egnaza resort in Puglia, the newlyweds then kicked back in Tanzania at the uber-pricey Singita Grumeti Reserve — where lodging can cost as much as $5,700 a night! Luckily for Timberlake and Biel, this time of year is the resort's "low" season … otherwise it would have cost $7,620 per night spent at the Singita Sasakwa Lodge's private villa retreat.Zoe Kazan on playing her real-life boyfriend Paul Dano’s dream girl in ‘Ruby Sparks’

Dano and Kazan. (David Livingston/Getty Images)Mixing business with pleasure is usually not advised … particularly when it comes to relationships. But when Zoe Kazan was working on the screenplay for "Ruby Sparks," she subconsciously wrote herself and her boyfriend of five years, Paul Dano, into the lead roles. The rom-com drama is about a struggling novelist named Calvin (played by Dano) who begins to fall in love with one of his characters, his dream girl Ruby Sparks, who suddenly appears one day as the real-life version (portrayed by Kazan). And if that wasn't already too good to be true, whatever he puts down on paper, she becomes: fluent in French, miserable without him, filled with constant joy.Chris Brown’s lawyer orders him to keep quiet after he interrupts during court hearing

Chris Brown and attorney Mark Geragos. (WireImage)Chris Brown is always opening his mouth and getting himself in trouble, and during a court appearance on Thursday, he almost did it once again. The "Don't Wake Me Up" singer was before a judge in Los Angeles to check in on his progress with his probation (for beating Rihanna in 2009) when his attorney Mark Geragos was asked a question regarding his client's upcoming tour schedule — and Brown piped up. "Hello," he said, raising his hand. "Don't talk!" shot back Geragos. "I don't dance, you don't talk." Luckily, the hot-tempered Brown took the jab well and laughed.
