Celine Dion doesn't have the guts to ask Adele to sing with her

ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG!!!!!!!
This would be the most amazing thing EVER!
Celine Dion recently revealed in an interview that she LOVES Adele.
Like love-love-loves her!!
Basically equal to how much we fangirl over Queen Celine!!!!
BUT not only does she love her, Celine was asked whether Adele influenced her album Loved Me Back To Life and she revealed that:

"She has an influence on my life. Period. I love her. I’m taking hot tea everyday and I’m hoping she’s going to pop up and have tea with me."

LOLzz!!! Could you imagine that tea party?? We WISH we could be witness to it!
But that's not all!!
Could there possibly be a mega awesome, super legendary, AH-MAZING collaboration coming?!!?
Celine said:

Third in command: Abu Zubaydah was only behind Osama Bin Laden and the group's

current leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri

Attack: Zubaydah was thought to be one of the planners of the 9/11 attacks and also involved in every other major attack perpetrated by al-Qa'ida in the past decade

The US government have released private diaries of a Guantanamo Bay prisoner thought to be third

in command in terrorist organisation al-Qaida. Translated journals, belonging to Abu Zubaydah, were made public under a Freedom of Information request by Al Jazeera and give a startling insight into the inner workings of the operation.

The diaries start in 1990, span the decade leading up to the 9/11 attack and end just day before Zubaydah is captured in March 2002 in Faisalbad, Pakistan.

One-ton satellite to crash into Earth - but scientists do not knowWHERE!

A one-ton satellite is expected to crash down to earth this weekend - but scientists don't know where. The European Space Agency (ESA) says the craft, which has been in low-Earth orbit since 2009, has run out of fuel, ending its mission.

It is expected to disintegrate on re-entry, with most of the fragments burning up in the atmosphere.But around 20% of the satellite's mass - about 200kg - is expected to crash to earth in various fragments and it's impossible to predict where they will land.

Prince William might not be a scrub, but that didn't stop him from rocking the uniform like McSteamy!

William, who is also President of the Royal Marsden National Health Service Foundation Trust, scrubbed up and headed to the Wolfson Surgical Suite where he stood in on not one, but TWO procedures!

Usher's Got Himself Caught Up In A Lawsuit!

Poor Usher is heading back tocourt!
And this time, it's for a work related incident!
WordsmithsZacharia Edwards,Mitch Moses andVince McClean are claiming they wrote the song Caught Up back in 2002, therefore accusing the 35-year-old R&B singer of stealing the huge hit!
Usher recorded a track nearly two years later by the same name and subject matter---so something seems a little fishy!
Apparently, the group played the jam for for an executive at Usher's label, Arista Records, and never heard from them again. Flash forward two years, and the same tune is a mega-success on the radio!
The guys are suing for unspecified damages, and hopefully this lyrical snafu will get all figured out ASAP!
Throw it back to 2004 by ch-ch-checking out the song they're feuding over after the cut..

Everyone stop what you’re doing and helpJennifer Lawrence look for her Oscar! The Silver Linings Playbook best actress apparently has no idea where it is!
Check under your bed, between the couch cushions, or maybe just check Jessica Chastain’s house…
Yeah, that’s right. We saw you eyeing that trophy on Oscar night, Jess! Lolz!
JLaw admitted earlier this year that she sent her Academy Award to Kentucky to live on top of her momma’s piano. But the golden guy might now be M.I.A.!
Jen explained this week that she hasn’t a clue where it is now, saying:

"I don't know where it is. I think it might be in Kentucky. I hope it's in Kentucky. If not, it's gone. I don't have it.”

What the WHAT?!
That’s the most coveted award in Hollywood! Not some hunk o' junk that you just misplace!
Oh well. We hope she eventually finds it. But if not, maybe Jennifer will just have to win herself another one!

Looks like somebody's flouting her good-girl image!
Selena Gomez's long-awaited spread for Flaunt magazine has officially hit the Internet, and it definitely delivers on the promised "bedroom intimacy."

In fact, the image (above) of her in black lace lingerie lying in bed with a shirtless man is downright NAUGHTY!
We'll let you draw your own conclusions!
And for a second, it made us forget all about her bangin' bobbed wig. She looks so pretty with short hair, doesn't she?

Brooke Mueller To Be Granted FULL Custody Of Boys By Xmas! CharlieSheen Is Furious!!!

brooke mueller denise richards charlie sheen kids taken custody

Look out!
Charlie Sheen is gonna blow!!!
That's because his ex Brooke Mueller is totally on the right path to gaining total custody her twins - Bob and Max - who were taken away from her months ago over her drug abuse problems!
Charlie Sheen has been freaking out recently since he is totally against his ex wife gaining custody of their children again, and had originally wanted Denise Richards to keep taking care of the boys.
But that option was recently removed from the table, and it seems like the boys really have no where else to go!
Unless Charlie wants to take care of them. Something he's never really talked about despite his criticisms against Brooke Mueller!
Since Brooke has apparently been completely clean since she's left rehab, the DCFS doesn't really have a valid reason why she shouldn't be granted custody of her children again. Something which many expect to happen real soon!
Here's what a source said:

Jennifer Hudson has recently joined the list of celebs we love who've chopped off their long locks and we're feeling the new look. In a video interview with Hip Hollywood, the singer/actress explained why she decided to go super short with her new 'do.

Why Texting Ruined Dating

Dating in the 21st century is akin to getting stabbed in the eye with a fork. Nails on a chalkboard, a rusty cheese-grater on your face, ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife (hat tip, Alanis Morissette) — it's uncomfortable, painful and downright ironic.

Ice Prince's sophomore album, Fire of Zamani, hit the market sometime last week, but we had to hold off on posting any of the tracks due to "contractual obligations". The album is now available on iTunes, Amazon, and everywhere on the streets. Personally, I love #FOZ.

Eminem has become the first artist to have 4 singles in the top 20 of the Billboard charts since The Beatles in 1964.

Eminem narrowly edged out the Beatles to become the best selling artist of the last decade, and it seems he's still competing with the band, now matching a Billboard record previously set by the fab four. Em is the first artist to have 4 singles simultaneously rank within the Billboard top 20 since 1964, with "Berzerk," "Rap God," "Survival" and "The Monster" all charting high. It should be noted that this is for "lead" artist, and not featured.

mila kunis ashton kutcher airport loving

The day of reckoning is coming!
Ashton Kutcher is nearing the finalization of his divorce withDemi Moore, which has the actor giddy!
Not because he hates Demi that much, but because he really wants to move on with his life with Mila Kunis!
The two, who have been dating for a while, are definitely talking marriage and what's more - they want to have babies together!
They've even reportedly stopped talking precautions against Mila getting pregnant!!!
Here's what a source said:

“Ashton has been getting a lot of pressure recently from his family who have been asking whether he and Mila intend on having children. Ashton has made no secret of the fact that he wants to have a baby and he’s told his family that they’re not taking any ‘precautions’ against having a baby. In other words, he and Mila are ready to be parents. They don’t really care if marriage comes before baby, in fact, they don’t think they have to be married to have a child.”

[Forbes.com] What’s an active social-media user worth? You might think the answer would vary widely for Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, given their different approaches (and different success levels so far) at monetizing traffic. But you would be wrong. Today’s stock market values each site’s users at surprisingly similar levels of about $100 apiece. In fact, Twitter’s devotees, who generate the least revenue, are currently deemed most valuable, at $110 apiece.
