Houston and Brown in happier times. (Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic)Bobby Brown is grieving the loss of his ex-wife, Whitney Houston, the best way he knows how: through song. During an appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on Wednesday, the R&B singer debuted a new track he wrote about the late superstar, strangely titled "Don't Let Me Die." As drums start out the song, Brown sings, "Been about a month since you've been gone/I guess it's pretty clear that you ain't coming home." He then goes on to croon, "I didn't realize that every breath I took was for you/You were my air" — which is particularly odd since he and Houston have not been a couple since 2006 and he is currently engaged to the mother of his youngest son. Conveniently, Brown will include "Don't Let Me Die" on his upcoming solo album.

Travolta and Preston. (Michael Tran/FilmMagic)John Travolta really wants us to forget about the many, many men who have come forward and charged him with sexual battery over the past few weeks and remember that he is a married family man. So on Mother's Day, he posted a video "gift" he made for his wife of 21 years, Kelly Preston, on his personal website with the message that she was so "happy" with it, "we wanted to share it with you." The four-and-a-half-minute video — set to the Barbara Streisand song, "That Face" — is a montage of personal photos (and a few paparazzi shots) of the couple over the years and their children, Jett, who died in 2009 at age 16, Ella, 12, and Benjamin, 19 months. At the end, a note saying, "Happy Mother's Day! With all my love, Johnny," flashes on screen.Bollywood Star Aishwarya Rai Blasted for Not Losing Baby Weight: Other Celeb Moms Who Also Feel the Pressure

After baby. (Yogen Shah/India Today Group/Getty Images)Not every woman can be like Victoria Beckham and back down to a size 0 just weeks after giving birth. These days in Hollywood, a lot of pressure is put on its female stars to snap back into shape in an incredibly unreasonable amount of time, especially considering that it takes nine months to gain the weight. The latest example of this is Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai — dubbed The Most Beautiful Woman in the World — who is being slammed by critics in India for not upholding her "duty" of returning to her pre-baby figure nearly six months after she gave birth to daughter Aaradhya.Nicki Minaj Debuts ‘Right by My Side’ Music Video, Starring Chris Brown and Nas

Brown. (Matt Jelonek/Getty Images)Nicki Minaj shows a kinder, gentler side in the new music video for her song "Right by My Side" — well, at least in the first half of it. In the beginning of the clip, the R&B singer/rapper sits alone brooding over what appears to be a breakup, before it then starts to go backwards to highlight the ups and downs of the romance between she and her onscreen love interest played by Nas. As she sings, "I'm not living life if you're not by my side," we see the rapper shower Minaj with a brand new car and shopping sprees in Beverly Hills. That's when Chris Brown pops up to sing from the male's perspective, although it's unclear if he's also the third piece in a love triangle.Actor Nick Stahl Missing: His Troublesome Past Few Months

Stahl has been missing since May 9. (Jesse Grant/WireImage)Child stars who grow up and acquire drug problems are a dime a dozen in Hollywood, and it seems the stigma may have claimed its latest victim: Nick Stahl. The "Terminator 3" actor, who got his big break opposite Mel Gibson in 1993's "The Man Without a Face" when he was just 13, was reported missing by his estranged wife Rose on Monday, five days after she last saw him. A source tells TMZ that Stahl, who has a 2-year-old daughter, had lately been frequenting the drug-infested Skid Row area of downtown Los Angeles and that "he may have gotten himself involved in some bad stuff." As of Wednesday, a spokesperson with the LAPD announced that Stahl, 32, is still missing.Joey Lawrence to Take It Off for Chippendales in Las Vegas

Lawrence, in clothes. (Allen Berezovsky/WireImage)"Whoa!" is one way to put it. Former '90s heartthrob, "Blossom" star Joey Lawrence, will be taking it all off (except for a bow tie and shirt cuffs, of course) to join the Chippendales male exotic dance revue in Las Vegas next month. The 36-year-old — who lately has been starring with Melissa Joan Hart on ABC Family's "Melissa & Joey," as well as an Old Navy commercial with "Blossom" herself, Mayim Bialik — will begin his limited guest-hosting gig on June 7 and will continue until the 24th. In addition to eliciting screams from the female-heavy audience, the married father of two will also be singing and dancing.Alec Baldwin’s Stalker Leaves Court Smiling, Claims It Is All a ‘Misunderstanding’

Baldwin. (Turgeon/BrownSplash News)For someone who has been court-ordered to stay away from the man she thought she would marry, Alec Baldwin's accused stalker looks like one happy lady. Genevieve Sabourin was all smiles as she left a New York City courthouse on Monday, after being told by a judge to keep her distance from the "30 Rock" star for the next 60 days, an extension of a restraining order that was already in place. "Je t'aime New York," the 40-year-old French-Canadian actress told the New York Post after the hearing. "I love the United States. With my lawyers, we are going to solve this misunderstanding."Lindsay Lohan Moves Into $25,000-a-Month Beverly Hills Home

In an interview with Amanda de Cadenet for Lifetime's "The Conversation" on Sunday night, the actress, who is married to John Travolta, opened up about how Scientology got her through the January 2009 death of her 16-year-old son Jett, who hit his head during a violent seizure while the family was vacationing in the Bahamas. "In Scientology, we have what's called 'auditing,' and that helps you to address things in your life and to strip them away," explained the 49-year-old. "It's a path of spiritual enlightenment. Also, it helps rid the mind of painful experience completely. Through that, the people at my church literally held my hand and got me through ... I will forever be indebted. You never forget, but I feel like the weight of the world was lifted."Jessica Alba on ‘Dark Angel’ Days: ‘I Was Being Objectified’

Alba on the June cover. (Tesh)Jessica Alba's name is always at the top of many best-dressed lists for her chic, seemingly-effortless style. But there was a time when she was more fashion victim than trendsetter. In the late '90s, the now-married mother of two dressed pretty provocatively, thanks in part to her sexy character on the Fox sci-fi drama, "Dark Angel" — but she insists it was all for the sake of ratings. Even though she was only 19 at the time, "everyone formed a strong opinion about me because of the way I was marketed," Alba reveals in the June issue of Marie Claire. "I was supposed to be sexy, this tough action girl. That's what people expected … I felt like I was being objectified, and it made me uncomfortable. I wanted to be chic and elegant!"
