Hmm … yeah this news doesn't really come as a shock. Britain's Got Talent winner Susan Boyle just revealed that she has Asperger's Syndrome.

"Some articles have said I have brain damage. It's been something else. I have Asperger's," the 52-year-old singer told the Guardian.

Asperger's Syndrome is a high-functioning form of autism, which mostly affects a person's social interaction and communication skills. Boyle has had a series of erratic episodes since first being discovered four years ago. But she is hoping that the diagnosis will bring positive changes.

The singer calls the diagnosis a "relief." "Asperger's doesn't define me," she continued. "It's a condition that I have to live with and work through, but I feel more relaxed about myself. People will have a greater understanding of who I am and why I do the things I do."

Lady Gaga performed at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball in London on Sunday night, and after a wild performance in an outfit that left little to the imagination, the pop star checked out of her hotel on Monday morning and headed to Heathrow Airport.

We're not sure how long it took her to throw together this colorful ensemble, but she nearly missed her flight! She tweeted just before takeoff, "Thank u London for the amazing trip I am late for the airport! Big kisses from me I love u! Xxx."

Gaga is going to be taking it easy over the holidays, but she will be back on the road this spring with her artRave: The ARTPOP Ball Tour, which kicks off in May in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Before her tour officially begins however, Gaga will close out New York's historic Roseland Ballroom, performing the final seven shows at the venue from March 28 to April 7. Way to make history!

LAX Shakira

We don't care if her hips DO lie -- we love us some Shakira! The Columbian firecracker was all smiles when she jetted out of LAX on Sunday night.

The hot mamacita turned some heads in her all-black ensemble -- black pants, black boots and see-through shirt. The 36-year-old's famously fit form is looking better than ever!

While at LAX, the "She Wolf" singer was anything but an animal. The singer smiled and signed autographs for fans while en route to her terminal.

Apparently LAX was the place to be last night for celebs. Our photogs caught Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Charlize Theron, Jake Gyllenhaal, Aaron Eckhart and Christina Applegate at the Los Angeles airport. Sounds like a star-studded night at the airport if you ask us!

Who knew they were such good friends?!

Nicki Minaj celebrated her 31st birthday at Philippe Chow in West Hollywood last night, and while it didn't surprise us that she arrived to the restaurant in a pink Lamborghini, it was a little bit of a shock that Kylie Jenner attended the fete!

We know the rapper and the reality star hung out recently at the Drake concert in late November, but we thought they knew each other through Miss Jenner's big sister Khloe Kardashian. Guess they're pals in their own right!

The "Pink Friday" chanteuse was gifted with a cake in the shape of boobs, as well as a stripper pole!

Sounds like quite the wild bash!

Jennifer Aniston had a party and everyone came! And we mean everyone -- including Gwyneth Paltrow! Who knew both of Brad Pitt's exes were pals?!

Jen's bash kicked off around 6pm on Sunday night, and from Gwyneth and her hubby Chris Martin, to the usual suspects (Chelsea Handler, Courteney Cox, Tobey Maguire and his wifey Jennifer Meyer), the party was totally A-list. Gwynnie's Iron Man co-star Robert Downey and his wife Susan were there, along with Jen's Horrible Bosses co-star Jason Bateman.

Jen and fiance Justin Theroux went shopping for a Christmas tree last week, so it looks like the house was fully decked out, and she even got her hair done on Friday night.

A photographer on the scene tells X17online exclusively:
    "It was one of the most star-studded parties I've ever seen. Even people you didn't think knew Jen were showing up. To get Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin to come together was a miracle in itself."

Jessica Alba and hubby Cash Warren took their daughters Honor and Haven to Mr. Greentrees in West Hollywood on Sunday, and the happy family picked out a tree and a basket full of Christmas ornaments. After they were done, Cash picked up lunch at Mulberry Street Pizza and M Cafe in Beverly Hills. Sounds like a perfect day to us!

And speaking of her little girls, Jess revealed that they still aren't entirely sure what it is that she does for work. ''When it comes to doing movies, Honor will come on set and see that I sit in a trailer and get different hair and make-up done," she told Britain's OK! Magazine. She thinks I play dress-up for a living.'' Awww!

So how does she feel about them following in her footsteps in the entertainment biz? ''They can do anything they want when they graduate from college," she said. "I'm going to be very insistent that they take time to study and learn about the world before they choose what they want to do with their lives.''

Another day, another interesting outfit for Amanda Bynes!

The 27-year-old actress stepped out with her mom Lynn near the family's home on Sunday, and she wore skinnies, sneakers, a quilted jacket and her favorite oversize sunglasses. We definitely dig the darker 'do on Bynes too -- we've seen her with so many different colors of hair/wigs over the last year, but this shade looks like it's here to stay...

While Bynes has been going to outpatient rehab and doctor's appointments since she got released from inpatient rehab late last month, she's going to have to face the music in approximately 4 weeks when it comes to her DUI charges. Bynes will appear before a judge on January 7, and she also faces charges back in New York for marijuana possession and for allegedly throwing a glass bong out of her 36th-floor Manhattan apartment.
