Jennifer Lopez took time out from American Idol to visit The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

The mother of two discussed her sexy new fragrance campaign, her AI job and her memories of Whitney Houston.

JLo shared the following with Jay:

    I met her a couple of times and obviously when I heard the news I was as shocked and devastated as everybody else. She was such a big part of me growing up and musically everything I knew. She was kind of the pinnacle of a voice of our time and our generation. It's just so sad. I couldn't believe it."

Now that Russell Brand is newly single, the British comedian is putting his focus back on the comedy stage.

After a performance at The Roger Room in West Hollywood, Brand left out the back door of the venue looking rather intense. No doubt, the lean and muscular Brit is brushing up on his skills to gear up for his upcoming unscripted FX comedy series tentatively titled, "Strangely Uplifting."

Wonder if Brand is holding any grudges against ex Katy Perry? During her Grammy performance, the "E.T." singer debuted her newest song "Part Of Me." The lyrics reportedly take a jab at Brand. Katie sang:

    "You can keep the dog from me, I never liked him anyway. Keep your diamond ring/In fact, you can keep everything...Except for me."


Ouch! Actions usually speak louder than words, but in this case, these words speak volumes.

We've been having a bit of a love/hate relationship with Lana Del Rey lately -- we can't stop playing her new album, Born To Die, but her live performances are pretty weak and we're not fans of her blinged out tooth cap.

The 25-year-old singer was spotted out in Hollywood last night after appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and she signed autographs for fans before making her way to the Chateau Marmont.

So what does she have to say about her plump pout in the "Video Games" music video? Lana tells The New York Times Style Magazine, "They're real lips. I mean … in real life my lips don't look that big. I think because I cartoonized the footage of myself in the video for "Video Games" things look exaggerated." Uhh, ok...

Bomer, who is set to star opposite Channing Tatum in the upcoming stripper flick Magic Mike, is in a relationship with Hollywood agent Simon Halls.

For years, Bomer has been asked about his sexuality, but until now, he has yet to confirm he's gay. Back in 2010, he told Details, "I don't care about [rumours] at all. I'm completely happy and fulfilled in my personal life."

The actor, who has three kids, told the crowd, "I'd really especially like to thank my beautiful family: Simon, Kit, Walker, Henry. Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is. You will always be my proudest accomplishment."

Bomer's 3-year-old twins are from his relationship with Halls, while his 5-year-old son is from a previous relationship.

The 43-year-old actress, who looks gorgeous for GQ, is opening up about her recent weight gain. She tells the mag:

    "Well, I recently quit smoking, and you do put on some extra pounds. It makes a difference, especially if you're not 20. I think people maybe want me to have a kid now."


Justin Theroux's main squeeze, who's been dating the former Friends star since last year, also talks about the possibility of having kids. Jen adds:

    "I still kind of go with, if it happens, it happens. I'm calm and peaceful with whatever the plan is. It's not something where I'm going, 'I gotta have a kid!'"


Aniston admits that she's not looking for a "picture-perfect life." Looks like she pretty much has one already!

Reese Witherspoon was feeling the Valentines Day spirit as she donned a red-hot mini dress with a sleek black coat and Christian Louboutin heels to promote her upcoming romcom, This Mean War, on David Letterman's Late Show in NYC, on Monday night.

Unfortunately the film has been panned by critics, with a score of just 45% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the Oscar winner confessed they worked extra hard to ensure that the ending was a complete surprise.

'We shot endings where I could end up with Tom, or I could end up with Chris, or I could end up alone," Reese revealed. "Or I could end up with Chelsea Handler!'

Let's hope it's not the latter!

The body of Whitney Houston arrived in a gold hearse to a funeral parlor in her home state of New Jersey, where a memorial service will be held for around 18,000 people at Newark's Prudential Center, at the end of the week.

Houston's family is reportedly holding a wake on Thursday and funeral on Friday for the 48-year-old pop star, who was found dead in her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday, just hours before she was set to make an appearance at a pre-Grammy gala.

While it has been suspected that Houston's death was a result of a drug overdose, authorities are not ruling out natural causes. Los Angeles assistant chief coroner Ed Winter confirmed that the prescription bottles in her room were not "alarming" or "out of the ordinary," but toxicology reports will not be available for several weeks.

Newark's Whigham Funeral Home is handling the singer's arrangements, which is the same funeral home that organized the 2003 memorial of Houston's father, John Houston.

Dedicated dad David Beckham was in a playful mood on Monday night, as he took his sons, Brooklyn and Romeo to watch Cruz practice karate in Hollywood, while wife Victoria is still tied up at New York Fashion Week.

The Galaxy soccer star just returned from a quick trip to NYC, where he sat front row, with baby Harper in tow, at the debut of his wife's autumn/winter 2012-13 collection, which was held at the New York Public Library.

Looks like Beckham was happy to leave the fashion world behind to be back in LA with his boys!
