Mike Marsland/WireImageBefore she sold more than 30 million records, created the L.A.M.B. fashion line that rakes in more than $150 million annually, and became wife to Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale and mom to sons Kingston, 5, and Zuma, 3, Gwen Stefani really was "Just a Girl" from Orange County, California. The 42-year-old rocker reminded us of her roots in '80s SoCal on Wednesday when she finally set up a Twitter account and promptly tweeted a video and pics of herself in her younger years.

Bruno Mars serenades Miss April. (Tony Kelly/Playboy)Bruno Mars has joined an elite group of only nine men, including Burt Reynolds, Donald Trump, and Gene Simmons, who have graced the cover of Playboy in its 58 years in publication. The "It Will Rain" singer appears alongside Miss April, Raquel Pomplun, for the magazine's new Sex and Music issue. Unfortunately for his fans, Mars is fully-clothed, but he does rock his usual 50s-era style for the pictorial in which he sports Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana — and one gorgeous guitar.

Allure MagazineIn a short span of less than two years, Nicki Minaj has had eight Billboard Top 20 hits, sold out concerts, and collaborated with Eminem, Britney Spears, and Madonna — but that's not enough. The eccentric rapper-singer says she wants to turn her success into a full-fledged brand, just like her male counterparts. "I never thought about music as just being the end-all, be-all," she tells Allure. "I always looked at it like a business, something that I could create an empire out of…. I had a little conversation with Jay-Z at the Victoria's Secret fashion show. He said, 'Congratulations on all your success.' And I was like, 'Yeah, I'm coming for you. I'm coming for your spot, Mr. Mogul.'"

Ne-Yo wishes he could've completed his work with Whitney Houston. (Denise Truscello/WireImage)Ne-Yo, 32, isn't just a Grammy Award-winning singer, but also an accomplished songwriter who's penned hits for Beyonce, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Whitney Houston, and more. He recently even worked on new music with Houston that they never had a chance to complete, since she was found dead of undetermined causes on February 11 in Beverly Hills. "The memory that will stay with me forever," Ne-Yo revealed to omg!, "is we're all sitting there and Whitney says, 'Here's what I need you to do for me: I need music that lets the world know that I'm happy. With everything that's gone down with [ex-husband Bobby Brown] and all that, I need the world to know that I'm not bitter, I'm not depressed, I'm happy. I got my God, my kid, and I got my music, and that's all I need. I need the music to say that.' Those are the kind of songs that we worked on. I honestly wish that we would have gotten to finish them."

Zolciak is back with another single. (Dario Cantatore/Getty Images)How could Kim Zolciak possibly top her 2009 dance hit, "Tardy For the Party"? Well, she's trying. The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star has a new song, a country ballad called "Love Me First," and a 57-second snippet of it was leaked on Monday. "My new song is so emotional," Zolciak wrote on her Twitter page two days before she debuted the track, adding that the lyrics were autobiographical. In "Love Me First," she sings (or at least that's what we think she's doing): "I'm running on empty, can't let it defeat me, I'm standing here a stronger woman making changes in my life. Now I'm learning every day, there ain't no other way, before I love somebody else, gotta love me first."

Bieber in his new ride. (Michael Rozman/Warner Bros.)It would seem pretty impossible to get a multi-millionaire who must have everything the perfect birthday present, but Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun did just that for his 18-year-old client. The singer seemed genuinely shocked — and appreciative — when Braun interrupted his interview on "Ellen" on Thursday to give him his very pricey gift. "You work really really hard," he told Bieber onstage before telling the talk show host and her audience about all the charitable things the teen does with the Make a Wish Foundation. "I always yell at you, 'Don't get anything flashy.' You know, we're not about that. Be humble, be humble and I kind of broke my own rule … So we wanted to make sure since you love cars that when you're on the road you are always environmentally friendly and we decided to get you a car that would make you stand out."

If you know anything about David Hasselhoff, you know he's a very popular musician … in Europe that is. Somehow, the former "Baywatch" and "Knight Rider" star with a penchant for the spotlight has wooed our counterparts across the Atlantic and ended up with a rather successful music career there.

Hilton is back with new music. Denise Truscello/WireImageAfter Paris Hilton's debut album, Paris, in 2006, the world wasn't really begging for any more music from the heiress. But six years later, here she is gracing our ears yet again with a new ditty, "Drunk Text," in which Hilton gives us a spoken-word account of a boozy night out on the town in which she drinks too much and sends an inappropriate message to a guy -- all set to techno music. "I went out to the club the other night to, you know, dance with my b-----s," the reality star begins in her trademark baby voice.

Hilton, 31, then gives listeners a lesson on why not to mix alcohol and technology after she takes a photo up a dancer's skirt, sends it to some guy named Adam, and then moments later the dancer confronts the famous blonde after someone forwards her the message. "I say, 'Sorry, it was just a drunk text,'" Hilton explains on the track, which also has an accompanying music video featuring close-ups of her mouth. "I should have known we knew each other. No one is safe in the
