Gomez covers Elle. (Carter Smith/ELLE)Justin Bieber is certainly a heartbreaker, but according to his girlfriend of over a year, Selena Gomez, he also has a soft, sweet side. But we already guessed that after he rented out the entire Staples Center in Los Angeles — which is big enough to house 20,000 people — in September so he and his gal pal could have a private romantic date and screen the Leonardo DiCaprio-Kate Winslet classic, "Titanic." In the July issue of Elle, Gomez reveals a little more about the memorable night. "If I'll share anything with you, it's that he really is a hopeless romantic. I had just mentioned it in the car — all I said is that I really want to see 'Titanic' again, and then…"

Octomom says she's been sexually liberated after porn shoot. (Splash News / Wicked Pictures)Put away those dollar bills. Nadya "Octomom" Suleman will not be stripping in a Florida gentlemen's club after all — because the employees at T's Lounge made fun of her to the local news station. After the news broke on Monday that the single mom of 14 was going to dance topless at the nightclub, CBS affiliate WPEC-TV went to T's to interview the workers there, and they didn't have very complimentary things to say. "She's got a lot of mouths to feed so it was only a matter of time," joked Michelle, a bartender. "She must be a little crazy, normal people don't have that many children, but we're all curious. You gotta pay the bills and we'll be happy to help there."

Mayer. (Tommaso Boddi/WireImage)Swift. (Denise Truscello/WireImage)It's common knowledge that Taylor Swift writes songs about the men she dates, but that didn't stop John Mayer from having a brief fling with the then-19-year-old in 2009, and then dumping her cruelly — at least according to her song "Dear John." So then why is he now acting surprised that she used their romance to inspire one of the best songs off her 2010 album Speak Now? In the new issue of Rolling Stone, Mayer complains how "really humiliated" he was by the country superstar's song. "It made me feel terrible," he says. "Because I didn't deserve it. I'm pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do."

Marshall. (Jim Spellman/WireImage)Odom. (Jim Spellman/WireImage)Penny Marshall is paying the price for being such a huge Los Angeles Lakers fan. The film director and "Laverne & Shirley" actress was reportedly scammed out of $5,000 by a man claiming to be the personal assistant of Lamar Odom, a former Lakers star best known for being the husband of Khloe Kardashian. The bizarre story began last month when Marshall, 69, was approached by the mystery man at a home game and given what he told her was Odom's phone number. Over the course of the following days, the two exchanged friendly text messages before "Odom" asked her to loan his assistant the money — and she did.

The Band Perry: Neil, Kimberly, and Reid. (Rick Diamond/Getty Images for CMT)Most of the nominees at the Country Music Awards on Wednesday night will be keeping their fingers crossed hoping for a win — but not The Band Perry. They'll just be happy to be there. The country trio comprised of sister Kimberly and her two brothers Neil and Reid tell omg! that although they're excited to be up for Group Video for their song "All Your Life," they're just "going to go and have a good time," says Kimberly, who sings and plays guitar and piano. "More than the wins or losses of award shows, just the fact that the country family is under one roof [is exciting to us]. We're the biggest fans in the room, so to see all the other performers is something we're really looking forward to."

Scout. (Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images)Demi Moore and Bruce Willis' middle daughter Scout is giving them trouble once again. The 20-year-old Brown University student was arrested on Monday night in New York City after a police officer saw her drinking an eight-ounce Pakistani beer out in the open in the city's Union Square just before 7 p.m. After she was caught, Willis presented an identification card with the name Katherine Kelly, but then admitted, "My name is Scout Willis," according to the criminal report. "The first ID isn't mine. My friend gave it to me. I don't know Katherine Kelly."

Is that a smile? (Mario Testino/Vanity Fair)If there's one thing you can say about Kristen Stewart, it's that she's unconventional … and unapologetic. The actress, who rarely ever smiles and often chooses sneakers over heels on the red carpet, gets a glam makeover in the July issue of Vanity Fair, but just because her outside was polished for the photo shoot, her true inner self remained the same. "I have been criticized a lot for not looking perfect in every photograph," she complains. "I get some serious s--t about it. I'm not embarrassed about it. I'm proud of it. If I took perfect pictures all the time, the people standing in the room with me, or on the carpet, would think,' What an actress! What a faker!' That thought embarrasses me so much that I look like s--t in half my photos, and I don't give a f--k. What matters to me is that the people in the room leave and say, 'She was cool. She had a good time. She was honest.' I don't care about the voracious, starving s--t eaters who want to turn truth into s--t."

Rihanna performed with Coldplay at the Grammys. (Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic)Gwyneth Paltrow may not want to watch Coldplay's new music video for "Princess of China" — because her husband Chris Martin gets pretty cozy with the very sexy Rihanna. The Asian-themed video begins with the British singer walking through a desert and arriving at a heavily-guarded city, where his former flame (played by Rihanna) resides (the song is about the regrets of a broken relationship). After Martin sword-fights a ninja, he moves closer to Rihanna, who has described her look in the video as "gangsta goth geisha." After her verse — during which she dances seductively clad in a tight black dress with a thigh-high slit a la Angelina Jolie — the two emotionally sing to each other nose-to-nose while kneeling in the same desert he had earlier walked. At one point, Rihanna even runs her hand through Martin's hair and caresses his cheek as he stares into her eyes.
