  • Ke$ha Isn’t So ‘Sleazy’

    Ke$ha brought her "sleazy" act to Las Vegas. - Denise Truscello/WireImage.com  Is there a better place to "Get Sleazy" than in Las Vegas? Ke$ha brought her aptly-named tour to Chateau (located in the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino), where the self-proclaimed dumpster diver hit the stage in a sparkling sequined top, fishnet stockings, Daisy Dukes, and beat-up biker boots.

    Despite the "Tik Tok" singer's "sleazy" reputation, she's also very passionate about animal rights. In April, Ke$ha, 24, joined forces with PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) -- and Iggy Pop -- to launch a global campaign against the clubbing of baby seals in Canada.

    Love her or hate her, the pop star certainly knows how to put on a show! - Denise Truscello/WireImage.com

    "I was lucky enough to get to watch a bunch of wild seals recently and truly fell in love with these amazing creatures," Ke$ha said in a statement. "Canada gets to be host to harp seals each year during their migration to the ice to give birth which is beautiful and peaceful. But because the babies' fur is so soft, there are people who club and brutally kill these young animals. The Canadian seal slaughter is

  • Inside Fergie Land

    Fergie strikes a pose in a Louis Vuitton dress ($3,865). - Ben Watts/LuckyFergie proves she is indeed still "Fergalicious" in the June issue of Lucky magazine, which hits newsstands May 10. Still, the 36-year-old singer admits there is one thing about her personality that could use a little improvement: She has a problem when it comes to letting things go, particularly clothes and shoes.

    In her defense, stars do get a lot of freebies, but Fergie had apparently accumulated so much stuff that when she married her husband Josh Duhamel in 2009, he let her take over the entire top floor of their Brentwood, California, home and named it ... "Fergie Land."

    "For years I held on to everything I got," she admits. "Part of me thought it might all go away."

    Fortunately, before she could be featured on a very special episode of "Hoarders," Fergie's stylist decided it was time for a wardrobe intervention. "[My stylist] said, 'Just because you get things for free doesn't mean you have to save them,' so I started letting go. I've purged 200 pairs of shoes already!"

  • Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey Hit the ‘Jersey Floor’

    Clearly, I've got to start DVRing Jimmy Fallon on a regular basis because every time I turn around I've missed another hilarious skit. On Thursday night, Jimmy aired the second episode of "Jersey Floor," which, obviously, is a spoof of MTV's "Jersey Shore." So how does it work?

    "You get on the elevator," explains Jimmy. "There's this button that says 'Jersey Floor.' When you press it, when you get off, you're transformed. Your hair is awesome, you are super, super tan, and your clothes are just amazing." While Jimmy couldn't entice Questlove, the drummer for The Roots, to come along for the ride, somehow Fallon's former "SNL" co-stars Tina Fey and Amy Poehler found themselves on the "Jersey Floor." Check it out!

  • J.Lo Spreads the ‘Love’

    Jennifer Lopez was all smiles while greeting the crowd at her album release party for Love? - Jen Lowery/Splash NewsThe multi-talented entertainer happily autographed CDs for her fans. - Michael Caulfield/Getty ImagesAlthough she's scored a hit single with "On the Floor," Jennifer Lopez's new album Love? hasn't exactly been receiving rave reviews.

    Rolling Stone writes: "Jennifer Lopez is a great idea. A gorgeous Nuyorican singer, movie star and, now, "American Idol" judge -- on paper, she's a perfect fit for a 21st-century pop culture that has collapsed old genre barriers. But the reality of Jennifer Lopez is ... blah. Love? arrives with shiny production credits -- Tricky Stewart and the-Dream, RedOne, Stargate. But it's undone by J.Lo's slight voice and slighter personality."

    The Los Angeles Times says: "It's a limp, personality-free dance-pop collection with plenty of A-list collaborations, but none of the lightweight charm she once brought in hits like 'Waiting for Tonight' and 'Jenny From the Block.'"

    Ouch!

    Still, those harsh words didn't stop the 41-year-old mother of two from thoroughly enjoying herself at her album release party, held at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood on Tuesday, where she

  • Orlando Bloom’s Son Flynn Named After Late Grandmother

    Orlando Bloom may play a cocky rock star in "Sympathy for Delicious," but in real life he's a devoted dad to his 3 1/2-month-old baby boy Flynn with supermodel Miranda Kerr.

    Orlando Bloom hit up a soiree for his indie flick, "Sympathy for Delicious," on Wednesday. - Jason Merritt/Getty ImagesThe actor was photographed while on daddy duty in February. - INFphoto.com

    The 34-year-old actor was snapped at a West Hollywood after party on Wednesday celebrating his gritty new indie film -- directed by Mark Ruffalo -- about a recently paralyzed DJ battling the mean streets of Los Angeles in his wheelchair, who gets more than he bargained for when he seeks out the world of faith healing.

    Earlier in the day, Bloom also made an appearance on "Live With Regis and Kelly" in NYC, where he promoted his flick and revealed the significance behind his son Flynn's name. Turns out, little Flynn was named after Orlando's late grandmother, Evelyn, who passed away while his wife, Miranda, was pregnant.

    "I was convinced we were going to have a girl because my grandmother actually passed when Flynn was conceived and she was really dear to my heart," he shared. "Evelyn was my grandmother, on my

  • Kim Zolciak’s Classy Baby Shower

    Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann can't wait for their bundle of joy to arrive! - David Yellen/Life & StyleWhile the National Enquirer reports that Kim Zolciak's fiance, Kroy Biermann, has called off their engagement due to her "wild mood swings," the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star tweeted in response to the story that the Enquirer was "full of BS." After all, the wig-loving diva, 32, and her NFL football player main squeeze, 25, couldn't be happier. They're anxiously awaiting the arrival of their first child together -- a baby boy -- in June, and threw a shower on April 17 to celebrate the life-changing event with 110 of their closest friends and family ... and Life & Style magazine, of course.

    "I put so much time into making it perfect," said a glowing Kim of her bash, which featured such delicious treats as mini crabcakes and "baby boy" Oreo cookies. "I'm really happy. I really wanted the baby shower to be special for Kroy," she continued, "this being his first baby -- and a boy."

    Although the "Tardy for the Party" singer already has two daughters -- Brielle, 12, and Ariana, 8 -- from

  • SJP Eats Fresh

    Sarah Jessica Parker and her son James Wilkie grab a snack at Subway. - Wagner Az/PacificCoastNews.comAlthough Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted relaxing at a luxury spa in Southern California just last week, it didn't take long for the "Sex and the City" star to get back to her regular routine. On Monday, the 46-year-old actress, who is frequently photographed taking her son, James Wilkie, to school in NYC, was snapped exiting Subway with her 8-year-old. Guess she didn't have time to make James lunch on this particular morning!

    Rumor has it that SJP and her hubby, Matthew Broderick, have bought a new abode in New York's East Village for their growing family, which includes James and 22-month-old twin daughters, Tabatha and Marion. According to reports, the couple paid a whopping $18.995 million for the 6,800-square-foot townhouse, which boasts five bedrooms, seven wood-burning fireplaces, and a high-tech security system. While we can't confirm the purchase, it doesn't seem like such a bad place to call home -- if you've got the money. Take a peek at their rumored dream house ...

  • Why Kid Rock Thinks His Name Is Dumb

    Bob Ritchie (aka Kid Rock) - Michael Caulfield/Getty ImagesSay what you will about Kid Rock, but the 40-year-old Detroit rapper/rocker -- who still lives in Michigan -- is one of the few celebs out there who seems to have stayed true to his roots and keeps it real. In the May issue of Esquire, Kid Rock (aka Bob Ritchie) reveals a few of the lessons he's learned thus far in life, as well as why he's not a fan of the stage name he chose for himself as a teen. "It's the worst name in the world," he laughs. "The only person that had a dumber name than me was the Fresh Prince. Hey, it sounded like a cool rap name when I was sixteen. But it stuck, and now it's me. I'll be an 80-year-old man -- 'call me the Kid.'"

    The "Born Free" singer has also come to the realization that life is too short to waste your time hanging out with losers. "Surround yourself with good people," he advises. "Whether they're the best or not, people are capable of learning if they've got good hearts and they're good souls."

  • Denise Richards: Sheen ‘Makes Me Sad’

    Denise Richards says she and her ex-hubby, Charlie Sheen, are not "in the best place right now." - Carmen Valdes/Ron Galella/WireImage.comOn last night's episode of Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live," Denise Richards thought she was simply going to be discussing another juicy episode of one of her favorite shows, "The Real Housewives of New York City." But, of course, host Andy Cohen wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't grill Richards a little bit about her ex-husband, Charlie Sheen.

    When asked what she thinks of Sheen's "Torpedo of Truth" tour, in which he reportedly bad mouths the mother of his two daughters, Sam, 7, and Lola, 5, Richards replied, "It's very sad for me to see him on this path. I heard he's chosen to use me in part of his tour, and that's hurtful, but that's his choice ... I just think there are places you shouldn't go."

    While the former couple had been on fairly good terms -- even after Sheen trashed his room at The Plaza Hotel last October while on vacation with Richards and their girls in NYC -- Denise revealed, "We're not in the best place right now, to be honest with you, but I do still
