Despite the fact that he is currently going though a divorce with Heidi Klum, Seal never stopped smiling as he made his was though LAX, and a huge pack of photogs on Thursday evening.

The newly single singer is currently on a promotional tour for his latest album, which is kind of unfortunate, considering he'll have to face constant questioning about the recent split.

But the father of four is still adamant about keeping his wedding ring on, for now. Seal told Ellen during an interview this week, "I think it’s just pretty much a token of how I feel about this woman. We have eight years. Eight wonderful years together.
Just because we have decided to separate doesn’t necessarily mean you take off your ring and you’re no longer connected to that person. We will be connected in many ways ‘til the rest of our lives."

After spending a week partying in Brazil for Sao Paulo Fashion Week and working on a catalogue shoot, a "deeply concerned" Ashton Kutcher returned home to LA on Thursday evening, and immediately rushed home to be by Demi Moore's side.

Kutcher has received quite a bit of flack these past few days after he was spotted living it up in the far away country while his ex was admitted to the hospital, when a worried friend called 911 after she suffered an apparent seizer.

The Ghost star was reportedly doing "Whip-its" when she began to convulse, and has been battling substance abuse problems for the past year. In fact, it was Moore's battle with prescription drugs and wild partying that finally pushed the Two and a Half Men star away.

Nevertheless, Kutcher has been increasingly worried about the health of his ex, and a source tells People mag, "Ashton is deeply concerned for Demi. He still cares about her and wants the best for her."

Their marriage may be over, but Ashton is still there to support his ex when she needs him the most!

Paris compared the 17-year-old to her late father, noting that he "found stardom at a very young age" and she added that MJ would have loved to mentor someone like the Biebs. When it was time to bring Justin onstage, Paris gushed, "We are all very big fans of [Justin] and his music ... I know I am."

Justin told the crowd that MJ was an "inspiration," and he then performed "Rockin' Robin," a tune which the King of Pop famously covered on his first solo album.
