Zac Efron suited up to film scenes at the Iowa Speedway on Friday. - Jeff Steinberg/PacificCoastNews.comLadies and gentleman, start your engines!

Zac Efron, 23, set hearts racing Friday when he donned a uniform to shoot scenes for his upcoming movie "Heartland" at the Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa. The flick stars Zac as a rural Iowan teen named Dean Whipple, who has dreams of becoming a professional race car driver, which doesn't sit too well with his farming father played by Dennis Quaid.

Interestingly enough, there was an actual race -- the Prairie Meadows 200 ARCA Series -- taking place on the day of filming. According to Iowa Speedway president Jerry Jauron, "Efron's character catches a big break to race, and it just so happens that he races in the ARCA races at the Iowa Speedway. The goal is for Zac to look as if he's been racing his whole life."

Of course, Zac didn't actually get behind the wheel and compete, but footage from the race -- including infield shots and the fans in the grandstand -- will appear in the actual flick.

The rest of the film is primarily being shot in

I never thought Chris Brown would be able to resurrect his career after assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna in February 2009. Turns out I was very wrong. Brown's fans (known as teambreezy) stood by him throughout the ordeal -- for which he was sentenced to five years probation and six months community service -- and came out in full force for his "Today" show performance Friday, which broke Lady Gaga's previous record for the biggest "Today" concert ever with over 18,000 fans in attendance!

Diehard members of teambreezy started camping out along NYC's 5th Avenue Wednesday in order to catch the show. The predominately female crowd screamed as the 22-year-old R&B singer performed several of his hits, including "Can Transform Ya," "Yeah 3X," "She Ain't You," and "Forever," all while showing off his smooth dance moves.

Wherever Kid Rock goes, he seems right at home. Monday night was no exception. After making an appearance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," the 40-year-old singer, who is currently on tour with ex-girlfriend Sheryl Crow, headed to a party at the top of the Hotel on Rivington in NYC looking as if he were going to a backyard barbeque. I guess that made sense since he threw the bash himself to celebrate his Men's Journal cover, as well as his Born Free album going platinum.

"We had a little excuse to throw a party, so we gotta' take advantage of that," Kid Rock told the New York Observer. As one would expect, the shindig wasn't fancy. The Detroit native served his guests, who included country couple Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, Jim Beam and his own beer, Badass American Lager. Although he's getting older, he still knows how to have a good time, but admits he's had to slow things down a bit when it comes to partying and touring. "We didn't give a sh** when we were 27," he says in

Flavor Flav - Tiffany Rose/WireImage.comWilliam Jonathan Drayton -- better known as Flavor Flav -- has experienced a lot in his 52 years. He was a founding member of the groundbreaking '80s rap group Public Enemy, where his flamboyant style and sayings put him on the map as the ultimate "hype man."

Omg! got to speak with the clock-wearing star about everything from his battle with drugs to being a grandpa.

OK, I have to ask you this, as I'm sure nobody ever has. What time is

Kim Zolciak poses with her baby boy Kroy Jagger, affectionately called K.J. - Life & Style"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak is proudly showing off her new baby boy, Kroy Jagger (whom the family has nicknamed K.J.), in the latest issue of Life & Style.

The "Tardy for the Party" singer -- who also has two daughters, 13-year-old Brielle and 9-year-old Ariana -- says the birth of her first son with Atlanta Falcons defensive end Kroy Biermann on May 31 was "very private [and] personal. To be in such a happy place with Kroy there, it was definitely very emotional," she tells the magazine. "It couldn't have been more perfect."

And neither could her little boy K.J. "It's unimaginable -- I'm so blessed, so lucky," Kim says. "I'm just so crazy in love with K.J. -- I'm always kissing his big old lips."

As for the future of their family, Zolciak -- who claims to be 33 -- believes that she and Biermann, 25, will live happily ever after. "I'm 100,000 percent certain that Kroy is the one for me," she gushes. But for some reason, before they tie the knot she says she

Beyonce rocks the Glastonbury Music Festival in England. - Dave J Hogan/Getty ImagesBeyonce made history on Sunday night when she became the first woman to ever headline the Glastonbury Music Festival's main Pyramid Stage in England.

"I wanted you all to know, right now you are witnessing my dream," the 29-year-old singer told the crowd, which was estimated to be around 175,000 people. "I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for having me and my band here. I always wanted to be a rock star, and tonight we are all rock stars. I still can't believe I'm performing at Glastonbury."

Backed by an all-female band, Beyonce -- who sported a sequined gold blazer over a skimpy black leotard for the occasion -- received rave reviews for her 90-minute set, which included everything from hits such as "Crazy in Love" and "Single Ladies," to covers of Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire" and Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know." While Rolling Stone described her performance as a "bold, crowd-pleasing spectacle," Billboard went as far to call it "career-defining." All the while,

"This campaign has been so beautifully collaborative," Mendes told omg! "I really can honestly say I've never felt so creatively satisfied with doing a campaign before. From the costuming to the music to the fact that I sing on the commercial to the overall look, I just feel like it's been a true partnership and I couldn't be happier."

While the perfume commercial will mark Eva's singing debut, don't expect the brunette beauty to be releasing an album any time soon. "A few years ago I started taking professional vocal lessons," she shares. "It's not a goal of mine, to make an album or anything like that. With my singing, I was just doing it as a fun exercise. That was always the goal. Try to hone a skill and have
