Umm we want to be best friends with Taylor Swift because it definitely has some pretty great perks -- LIKE GETTING A BIRTHDAY SERENADE BY DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL'S CHRIS CARRABBA! (Okay can you tell one of us at here at X17online was a Dashboard Confessional superfan back in college and this sounds like the most exciting thing that has ever happened in the history of birthdays?)
Over the weekend, Tay hosted a 25th birthday bash for her bestie Abigail and the "Shake It Off" pulled out all the stops.
At the bash, Swift said to the crowd during a toast, "Her favorite all-time band and still is Dashboard Confessional. I'm just asking a random question, do we have anyone here named Chris Carrabba?"
That's when the pint-sized emo god emerged from a sea of celebs to play his hit song, "Hands Down." And then the 19-year-old emo girl living inside of each and every one us rose from the dead, cried tears of joy and sadness and then returned to the grave until it's time for a Further Seems Forever reunion tour.
It appears as though Abigail wasn't the only DC superfan -- Paramore's Hayley Williams also got on stage for the serenade.
In addition to those notable names, Followill brothers from Kings of Leon and supermodel Lily Aldridge were also at the fun-filled bash.

Now that he's free from Kris Jenner's overbearing rule, he can do what he wants when he wants!
Bruce Jenner spent Easter Sunday whipping around Malibu on his hog, and even though the California temperatures have been mighty hot, the reality star opted to wear a heavy jacket in order to cover his new breast implants. We bet he's waiting to unveil them during his upcoming Diane Sawyer tell-all interview!
The rest of the Kardashian clan attended church services, but it's pretty clear that Bruiser doesn't want anything to do with staged family outings anymore.
Check back for more pics of Bruce sporting HUGE new lip implants and a red manicure, coming at noon PT!

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon reunited to celebrate Easter with twins Moroccan and Monroe, 3, on Sunday. After a dramatic split late last year, it seems the two are successfully co-parenting and Nick even looked cozy with Mariah, putting his hand on her back as the kids hunted for Easter eggs.
Mariah posted this snap on Instagram, with the caption: "Happy Easter!!! #ontheegghunt #NYiswild"
Nick has reportedly signed a deal to write a tell-all book about his marriage to the famous diva. It has been reported he demanded $30 million in the divorce settlement and was shot down by Mariah. Nick filed in December and even though there was a prenuptial agreement, apparently Nick's book deal doesn't violate any non-disclosure agreement, so he's set to tell all!
"Nick says he is going to tell the world about Mariah's drug use, her strange eating habits, psychosis, what she has said about other artists, her sexual proclivities and her parenting skills. It which will really be hurtful," an insider tells the DailyMail. "And Nick is also going to explain why he thinks he should have full custody of the twins. Mariah has admitted she never wanted children and Nick is going to tell the world why she felt that way."

The Kardashians went to church on Easter Sunday, but there were a few key people missing!
Kim Kardashian, hubby Kanye West and their daughter North arrived together, and since Kim was there, we figured Rob wouldn't show. Kris Jenner brought along boy toy Corey Gamble (the couple walked in with Kendall and Khloe) while Kourtney rolled up with her two oldest kids -- but baby daddy Scott Disick was not with her. While we didn't see Kylie arrive with the rest of the family, we did snap the 17-year-old Instagram addict leaving church later with her mom and siblings -- and her 25-year-old boyfriend Tyga, who brought his son with him!
Despite the fact that Scott and Rob weren't there, Kris didn't seem worried at all. Maybe this is all part of the plot for the Keeping Up With The Kardashians? We could just see the boys staging a protest and an intervention taking place after church service. Ok, maybe not, but that would be way more interesting than hearing Kim blab about how much sex she's having with Kanye!

Um, had we forgotten how hot Kate Hudson is?! Apparently!
The 35-year-old actress slipped into a super sexy outfit and grabbed a drink at Juice Crafters in Brentwood on Saturday, and she showed off her picture perfect physique in a VERY low cut top and skirt combo.
Earlier in the day Kate grabbed some eggs and dye and headed to an Easter party at ex Matthew Bellamy‘s house in Beverly Hills, and though she kept her cleavage covered, she showed plenty of leg in this short ensemble:

One Direction chatted with The Sun the other day, and this is their first interview since the Zayn Malik announced that he had left the band last month.
Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan all seem pretty bummed about Zayn's departure, but they also sound like they're ready to move forward as a fantastic foursome.
"It's been a tough few weeks, probably the toughest since the band was formed five years ago," Payne said. "We're gutted that Zayn chose to leave, but now after a few performances as a four-piece, we're feeling confident and are determined to carry on stronger than ever." Payne wrote on Twitter last week, "This last week has been some of the worst times, possibly the worst it's something we are all deeply saddened by. It's sad to think for the time being we won't grace the stage as five bros or have the same fun on a tour bus or laughs in a hotel together that we have over the years but I'm super sure us and Zayn will always remain the closest friends… it's ok to be sad and upset but I do ask everyone who is a fan of us to please keep ur faith in us I'm sure there's a lot more to come." Seems like it hit him the hardest!
"It's very exciting to be working on our fifth album," Styles said. "It shows how incredible the fans have been. A huge thank you to them for everything they've done for us. All the love to them." Tomlinson echoed those sentiments and added, "All four of us are 100 percent committed to staying in 1D."
The group will continue with a number of shows in Europe, and then they will head to the United States to close out their tour.

A makeup free Gwyneth Paltrow stepped out in Santa Monica with her kids on Saturday, and after suffering for a few minutes, she finally dug through her purse and found a pair of sunglasses. Much better!
Last week the Oscar winner and estranged husband Chris Martin vacationed in Mexico with their kids Apple and Moses, and while it seems like it was just a friendly family trip for spring break, the fact that they still haven't filed for divorce has us scratching our heads. Chris hasn't been seen with on-again girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence in a while, and Gwynnie seems to have cooled things down with her rebound, Glee producer Brad Falchuk.
In other news, Paltrow and business partner Gary Landesberg recently purchased the Hustler Hollywood store from Larry Flynt, and the two are planning to build a members-only social club in its place. There are Arts Clubs in London and Aspen, and according to TMZ Gwynnie and Gary want to open one on the Sunset Strip. In addition to a pricey membership (it's about $2,000 to join and $2,000 a year for membership dues), members are prohibited from swearing and there is a strict dress code. No swearing?! Does sound like much fun for Gwyneth!

Seeing as Casper Smart is 22 years younger than Jennifer Lopez, he could almost count as one of her kids, but we won't go there...
On Saturday J. Lo and her beau hit the road with her kids Max and Emme, and the group were headed to Mexico to celebrate the holiday weekend. Casper made a stop for insurance, and he also double checked their truck and trailer before the group crossed the border. J. Lo obviously has enough money to fly private, but we kinda dig that she's roughing it with a road trip!
The singer/actress was in Mexico City just last week to promote her new clothing line, which she designed specifically for women on a budget. "I think that, coming from the Bronx, I have a good urban mix," Lopez, 45, said at a press conference. "I'm more interested in doing (designs for working people) instead of luxury."
Funny, because after seeing her going on a totally normal trip with her fam, we kinda believe her!
