Lohan, von Unwerth, and Gaga at slumber party. (LittleMonsters.com)For those who thought the Lady Gaga-Lindsay Lohan sleepover was too good to be true … now there's photographic evidence. On Thursday, the "Born This Way" singer posted a bunch of pictures from that much buzzed-about July 11 night at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, California, which also included singer Lana Del Rey, on her new social networking site LittleMonsters.com. Although Del Rey is not actually pictured (perhaps she was the one behind the camera), Lohan and Gaga do their best mugging (along with photographer Ellen von Unwerth). Too bad LiLo insisted on striking that tired finger-biting pose she always does! Although the report at the time of the sleepover was that the superstars had a PG night of watching movies and playing board games, the ladies' blurry eyes tell perhaps a different story.

Pink. (Jeff Kravitz/WireImage)Pink has never been the typical pop star, and motherhood certainly hasn't tamed her either. In the music video for "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)," the first single from her new album, The Truth About Love, the sassy singer gets her revenge on a two-timing ex by showing up to his wedding clad in black — and then arranges for a heart-shaped balloon of red wine to be dropped on him, his lovely bride, and their horrified guests. As everyone screams and runs for cover, Pink dances in satisfaction.

The Killers: Ronnie Vannucci, Mark Stoermer, Flowers, and Dave Keuning. (Steven Lawton/FilmMagic)So much for that hiatus. Two years after The Killers announced they were going to take a much-needed break, the Las Vegas-based band is preparing to release its fourth album, Battle Born, on September 18. And on Thursday, they debuted the video for its first single, "Runaways," an anthemic song which seems to describe the history of frontman Brandon Flowers' relationship with his wife. Although the song is classic Killers, the video is pretty basic: The band performs against a black background, which intermittently flashes the Sin City skyline and a highway, both of which are depicted on Battle Born's cover.

Prince, Paris, and Blanket. (Suntzulynn for LE / Splash News)TJ also wants to be permanent guardian. (JSN Photography/WireImage)Ten days after Katherine Jackson inexplicably cut off communication with Michael Jackson's three children and took off for Arizona without them, she has lost custody of them. A judge ruled on Wednesday that the 82-year-old be stripped of her guardian duties and has handed over the responsibility to her grandson, Tito's son Tito Joe "TJ," temporarily. At the emergency hearing, the 34-year-old told the court that during a phone call with his grandmother on Tuesday, "she wasn't sharp. The pauses, choice of vocabulary … she has not used certain phrases like that before."

Katherine Jackson has not seen or contacted her grandchildren since July 15. (Lester Cohen/WireImage)Just when life seemed to be getting back to normal for Michael Jackson's three children following his June 2009 death, their whole world has been turned upside down — by none other than their own family. Prince, 15, Paris, 14, and Blanket, 10, have all been banned from seeing their beloved grandmother Katherine Jackson, who is their guardian and had been raising them in her Calabasas, California, home until July 15 when she "went missing" and then mysteriously showed up days later in Arizona. Why? Greed over the King of Pop's will. All of his siblings were left nothing and now they want a cut of his fortune — and they think 82-year-old Katherine, who was left everything along with MJ's kids, is the one to help them get it.

Mariah Carey. (WireImage)"American Idol" has just replaced one pop diva with another. It was announced on Monday that Mariah Carey will be a judge on the singing competition next season, just one week after both Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler quit. "I am so excited to be joining 'Idol,'" said the "We Belong Together" singer in a surprise phone call during the Television Critics Association presentation in Beverly Hills. "I can't wait to get started in a couple months." In a statement, the five-time Grammy winner added, "I'm currently in the studio working on my new album and its first single, 'Triumphant,' which will be out early next month. I can't wait to channel my creative energy as a part of this show which is a massive global phenomenon."

Jay-Z and Blue. (Tumblr (inset)/Getty Images)Rapping about how much money he has is so old-school … Jay-Z is now using his 6-month-old daughter Blue Ivy's wealth as a subject matter for his lyrics. In the new Rick Ross song "3 Kings," Jay-Z makes an appearance and uses his time on the track to boast about his daughter's luxurious life, which she leads thanks to her famous dad and mom Beyonce. "Y'all should know by now if you don't know/Millions on the wall in all my rooms," says the rapper, who then goes on about his baby using some pretty shocking language. "N---as couldn't f--k with my daughter's room/ N---as couldn't walk in my daughter's socks/Banksy bitches, Basquiat!"

Amy Winehouse was found dead on July 23, 2011. (Getty Images)July 23 marks the one-year anniversary of the death of Amy Winehouse, who was found dead in her London home at the age of 27 after drinking a lethal amount alcohol — a sad, albeit ironic twist considering her biggest hit was a song about how she refused to go to "Rehab." Despite her massive international success, the British R&B-soul singer only released two records before her untimely death, with her second, Back to Black, being her most popular with four Top 20 singles and 11 million copies sold worldwide.

In memory of Winehouse on this day, watch five live performances of hers that particularly stand out:
