(Getty Images)Britney Spears has been keeping up with current events, y'all! Although the pop star has been busy taping "The X Factor" and shooting a new ad campaign for her latest fragrance, she found time to reach out to the Mars rover Curiosity in a fun, flirty exchange.

"So @MarsCuriosity… does Mars look the same as it did in 2000?" the 30-year-old singer tweeted earlier this week along with a link to her "Oops!…I Did It Again" video.

(C Flanigan/WireImage)Although Rihanna publicly reconciled with Chris Brown earlier this year, it seems she never really fell out with him after he physically assaulted her the night before the Grammys in February 2009. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey for her OWN network (which will air on August 19), the "Where Have You Been" singer got very emotional when talking about the backlash Brown deservedly received after the vicious attack.

While the 26-year-old was in the building for will.i.am's bash at The Avalon in Hollywood on Monday evening, she wasn't the reason he ended up having a really bad night. As far as we know, she didn't even cause any fights or car crashes! Nope, will.i.am — who was celebrating the release of his upcoming solo album, #willpower — can blame his troubles on the person (or persons) who supposedly stole his white custom DeLorean while he was inside mingling. The car was the template for the auto firm, IAMAUTO, that will.i.am has said he wanted to launch this year to provide jobs in his native L.A. Do you think they rocked the Peas' "I've Got a Feeling" on the Beats by Dr. Dre sound system when they pulled away?

Brown's in treatment. (SWAP/Splash News)Six months after his ex-wife Whitney Houston died due to a combination of cocaine use, heart disease, and ultimately drowning, Bobby Brown is seeking treatment for his own addictions. The former New Edition singer, who was arrested for DUI in March, is currently in a rehab center, his new wife confirms. "He's doing great," Alicia Etheredge tells RadarOnline. Although a source tells the site that Brown, 43, is getting help for an alcohol addiction, his wife of just two months wouldn't confirm that detail.

Swift is red. (Denise Truscello/WireImage)All of Taylor Swift's exes better hide. The singer doubled her fans' excitement on Monday when she announced during a live online chat that she will be releasing her fourth album, Red, on October 22, and then also dropped its first single, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." The track, a very pop-centric song that is quite a departure for the country star, is about an ex-boyfriend who tells all his friends that he and Swift will be reuniting even though that is not in the cards.

After weeks of speculation, a photo of the Spice Girls rehearsing a performance in an empty lot was posted on Twitter on Thursday, proving the Brit girl group will indeed be a part of the big show on August 12. All five of the singers — Victoria "Posh" Beckham, Geri "Ginger" Halliwell, Emma "Baby" Bunton, Mel "Scary" Brown, and Mel "Sporty" Chisholm — are seen standing on black cars, with men in suits hanging off the backs.

To mark what would have been the "I Will Always Love You" singer's 49th birthday on Thursday, the 19-year-old had "WH" tattooed on the inside of her right wrist, adorned with four doves. But she wasn't the only one who went for the ink. Bobbi Kristina's adopted brother-turned-boyfriend Nick Gordon also did the same. "now your truly ALWAYS with us mommy," Bobbi Kristina wrote on Wednesday night along with a photo of her and Gordon's tattoos on Twitter. "we love you always&forever."
