Rihanna was photographed leaving the Sofitel Hotel in Paris on Wednesday, and the R&B superstar dressed down in head to toe denim. Most of us would never be able to pull this off, but c'mon, it's RiRi! She could wear a Hefty bag and combat boots and still be on everyone's best dressed lists!
In other Rihanna news, she has settled her lawsuit with famed photographer David LaChapelle after he claimed that she copied his work in her “S&M†music video. LaChapelle sued Rihanna and Def Jam for $1 million in damages, and after a Manhattan federal judge stated that LaChapelle “successfully allege[d]†that Rihanna and her director ripped off his photos, the Grammy winner settled the case for an undisclosed sum of money. LaChapelle's rep told the NY Post, “David is happy with the settlement.â€
“I like RiRi,†LaChapelle previously said in a statement. “This is not personal, it’s strictly business. Musicians commonly pay to sample music or use someone’s beats and there should be no difference when sampling an artist’s visuals.â€

After two cancelled court dates this week, the Conrad Murray murder trial has resumed.

It's man vs. boy!
David Arquette, 40, and Rob Kardashian, 24, and the rest of Season 13's Dancing With The Stars cast celebrated the season's halfway point at STK Lounge in Beverly Hills Tuesday night.
But at the soiree, while David looks dapper in a suit, Rob dressed down in a sweater and baseball cap. Rob has some growing up to do!
Of course, even a celebration can be a little nerve-racking. Arquette Tweeted, "#DWTS being at a Dance Party with professional dancers is an intimidating prospect". Give yourself some credit, David! You've made it this far!
Also at the party were Derek Hough and Mark Ballas. While Hough looked handsome and playful, Ballas seemed angry (he and partner Kristin Cavallari were eliminated early on.) See the photos after the jump!

Justin Bieber has finally premiered the video for his new single, "Mistletoe", and we can't stop playing the catchy holiday-themed song!
The Biebs recently told Ryan Seacrest he wanted to do "something that people haven't heard before," and he also revealed new deets on his upcoming Christmas album, Under The Mistletoe, telling MTV that the LP was inspired by ... cookies?!
Justin said, "I was going to put out my album soon anyways, and I was thinking, 'It's near Christmas time. If I'm going to release an album near Christmas, I figure maybe I'd just do a Christmas album'. The fans get more music, and everyone's happy ... I just picked my favourite Christmas songs. I picked 'Silent Night,' I picked 'Santa [Claus Is] Coming to Town,' because everyone loves those songs. Those are classics. They get people excited for Christmas."
The 17-year-old pop phenom continued, "It's different, because you've gotta think Christmas time. You've gotta think, 'What's at Christmas? Mistletoe, reindeer, Santa, all these things.' And especially when it's not Christmas time, it's hard to really get your mind around it. But once you get into it, like, I was really thinking it was Christmas time when I was writing this album. ... We had Christmas cookies [in the studio]."
