  • Jermaine Jackson Unveils the ‘Michael Jackson Experience’

    Jermaine Jackson was all smiles at the unveiling of the Michael Jackson Experience exhibit at Madame Tussauds in Hollywood. - Tommaso Boddi/WireImage.comSaturday, June 25 marks the second anniversary of Michael Jackson's death, which is why Madame Tussauds in Hollywood is hosting a special traveling exhibit celebrating the King of Pop, titled the Michael Jackson Experience, which will be on display in Los Angeles this summer before heading to Las Vegas in September.

    MJ's older brother Jermaine was on hand Monday -- along with his third wife, Halima, and sons Jaafar, 14, and Jermajesty, 10 -- to unveil three wax figurines from Europe depicting the musical superstar at three stages in his career: The Jackson 5 years, the Invincible era, and the "This Is It" Michael.

    "We lost an incredible human being and his spirit is with us," Jermaine, 56, told the crowd. "We feel him every day and I'm pretty sure you do as well."

    The singer also revealed that his family is planning a Jackson 5 reunion tour. "Michael would want us to continue on," said Jermaine. "The brothers now are ready just to keep the legacy going and the music. We're meeting

  • Beyonce: ‘I Always Want to be a Powerful Woman’ in Videos

    Patrick Demarchelier/WBeyonce is gearing up for the release of her fourth studio album, 4, on Tuesday, which is why she's gracing the July issue of W magazine. "The fans have named the album 4," she explains in her interview. "Four is my favorite number. It's an important number in my life: the date of my birthday [September 4, 1981], my mom's birthday, my husband's birthday [December 4, 1969], the day I got married [April 4, 2008]. Barack Obama is the 44th president, and I performed 'At Last' by Etta James at his inauguration."

    In honor of 4, the 29-year-old singer sat down with W and commented on seven looks from her music videos that helped shape her career. "In my videos, I always want to be a powerful woman," she notes. "That's my mission." That's probably why she was so excited to team up with Lady Gaga to record the song "Telephone" and star in the 9-minute Tarentino-esque video.

  • Meet Katy Perry’s Nerdy Alter Ego

    T.G.I.F.! OK, it's only Monday, but Katy Perry's new '80s-inspired music video for "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" will make you either long for the upcoming weekend, or a John Hughes teen movie marathon!

    Photos: Katy Perry's Crazy Costumes

    Although I would typically get a little antsy while sitting through an eight-minute video clip of anything on the Web, Katy's vid is definitely worth watching as the pop singer gets to show off her goofy side while portraying her geeky 13-year-old alter ego, Kathy Beth Terry, who wakes up the day after throwing a crazy house party ... she can't remember. Not only do viewers get to see the typically sexy "I Kissed a Girl" singer sporting dorky glasses, braces, and yes, even headgear, but they are also treated to a slew of celebrity cameos, including "Glee" stars Darren Criss and Kevin McHale, "Friday" singer Rebecca Black -- who plays Kathy's cool BFF -- and even saxophonist Kenny G, who rocks out with Hanson -- one of Kathy's favorite bands according

  • Christina Aguilera Bares All in W Magazine

    Daniele Duella and Iango Henzi/WAlthough Beyonce and Christina Aguilera have dueling W magazine covers for the month of July, it's Xtina who literally bares all in the publication, which hits newsstands June 21. Not only does the 30-year-old singer pose rather provocatively for the spread, but she opens up about the incredibly rough year she's had, which included canceling a concert tour due to low ticket sales, getting divorced from music producer Jordan Bratman, flubbing the lyrics to the "Star-Spangled Banner" at the Super Bowl, and being arrested with her current boyfriend Matt Rutler for being "extremely intoxicated."

    Beyonce: Fierce, Fearless, Female 

    "I don't mean to martyr myself, but I think I was a victim of celebrity," Aguilera tells the mag of the incident. "I don't drive, I wasn't driving, and I committed no crimes, but they put me in jail. They called me a 'political hot potato.' They said, 'What are we going to do with this woman?' I think they were bored that night."

  • Jennifer Hudson Rocks ‘GMA’ Despite Food Poisoning

    Jennifer Hudson had two morning show appearances scheduled on Friday to promote her latest album, I Remember Me. Unfortunately, she became ill after performing on ABC's "Good Morning America" and never made it to the CBS "Early Show." According to her rep, Hudson "went to the hospital due to severe abdominal pains" and "was treated for food poisoning and released."

    Jennifer Hudson managed to belt out a few tunes on "Good Morning America" Friday before being struck by food poisoning. - Janette Pellegrini/WireImage.comLooks like Jennifer's adorable 22-month-old son David wants to grow up to be a performer just like his mama. - Janette Pellegrini/WireImage.com

    Fortunately, all of the 29-year-old singer's fans who gathered in NYC's Central Park for the "GMA" appearance still got treated to a mini-concert by the "American Idol" alum, who looked absolutely fabulous in a flowing white top and high-waisted black mini skirt.

    Jennifer -- who has shed a whopping 80 pounds -- also chatted with hosts Robin Roberts and Lara Spencer to discuss her upcoming movies ("Winnie," "The Three Stooges") and memoir, which she hopes will "inspire others in their weight loss journey."

  • Gwen Stefani Ends Solo Music Career

    Gwen Stefani apparently doesn't want to fly solo on stage any longer. - Francois Durand/Getty ImagesShe prefers rocking out with her bandmate (and former boyfriend) Tony Kanal. - Jun Sato/WireImage.comGwen Stefani continues to be photographed everywhere she goes -- usually with hubby Gavin Rossdale and their two adorable tots, Kingston and Zuma -- but we haven't heard a whole lot from her musically in a while. It's been five years since she released her last solo effort, The Sweet Escape, and 10 years since No Doubt's last album, Rock Steady. But not to worry ... in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly (on newsstands Friday), Gwen and the boys of No Doubt, including guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal, and drummer Adrian Young, reveal their future plans for the band. (Hmmm ... sounds like someone might be dropping a new album or going on tour!) As for the "Hollaback Girl's" solo careeer, that's another story. Gwen is apparently calling it quits.

    "That was a moment in time," she tells EW. "It went on a little longer than we all thought it would because it was inspired and you have to go with wherever you're at in that time in your life ... [but] everything works out how it

  • Kim Cattrall: ‘I Have the Same Issues as Every Woman’

    Kim Cattrall is still fabulous at 54! - Samir Hussein/Getty ImageAnyone who was a fan of "Sex and the City" knows that Kim Cattrall, who portrayed the sexy Samantha Jones, has a phenomenal physique. After all, we got to see quite a bit of it every week for six seasons of the HBO hit series. Still, the actress, 54, admits to omg! in this exclusive interview that she's not as comfortable with her body as her incredibly confident alter ego was. When it comes to filming scenes in the buff, Kim says she doesn't "think of it as [viewers] seeing me naked. I think that you're seeing a character naked. I can't do it as Kim," she adds. "I'm too embarrassed."

    "I'm a real girl, who lives in the real world, who has cellulite and body image problems," she continues, "and is inundated with visions [of other women] -- that are nowhere near any kind of reality -- that you look at and think, 'Well, I should have a leg like that,' or 'I should have a stomach like that,'" she notes. "And I don't. I have the same issues as every woman on the planet does and I deal with

  • Kelly Rowland: ‘Here I Am’

    Although Kelly Rowland hasn't necessarily achieved the level of fame that fellow Destiny's Child singer Beyonce Knowles has, she's still managed to keep herself in the spotlight. She currently serves as a judge on the U.K. edition of "X Factor," and her hit single "Motivation" (featuring Lil Wayne) hit #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts, and climbed to #21 on the Hot 100. That's probably why the 30-year-old singer is so excited about the rest of her album -- appropriately entitled Here I Am -- which is set to drop this fall. When asked about the title, Kelly laughed, "I want people to know I'm here. This is the record I've been working for forever." Check out the rest of her interview with "Access Hollywood" to get the dish on Here I Am. Looks like her solo star is on the rise!
