..at least he made it to In 'N Out before leaving California for the Brit Awards!
Justin Bieber caught a flight out of LAX yesterday afternoon, and the teen pop phenom did his best Samantha Ronson impression appeared to be in a bad mood about something. Maybe he was still bummed about losing the Best New Artist Grammy to Esperanza Spalding? Or did someone forget to do his burger and fries animal style? Either way, it's a big change to see the usually chipper singer with a scowl on his face!

Frankie Muniz, former star of Malcolm In The Middle was involved in an alleged fight with his girlfriend Elycia Turnbow last Friday and she claims Frankie "grabbed a gun and held it to his head, possibly with the intent of committing suicide."
The couple were embroiled in an argument over "prior relationships," according to the police report. Elycia also says the actor "punched her in the back of the head, and threw her into a wall while in the downstairs bedroom."
Muniz denies these claims saying, "I grabbed the case, but not the gun ... it isn't even loaded."
Reports say officers did, in fact, find a loaded gun at Muniz's home.
Muniz counters the report by saying, "I love her too much. She is the woman I want to marry." He added that he woke up to "Elycia yelling at him and hitting him in the face."
Neither Frankie nor Elycia were injured. In addition to the gun being confiscated, the couple were warned they could face jail time if the police have to return to the home.
Frankie's rep released the following statement:
"Frankie and Elycia had an argument a few days ago. The police were called to the residence. A gun played no part in the argument and was voluntarily given to the police for safekeeping. There were no bruises and neither left the residence. He was not suicidal. She was not assaulted."

So says the Grammy winner herself!
Lady Gaga phoned in to Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show this morning to talk about her "Born This Way" performance at the Grammys and why she showed up in a giant egg:
"I was in there for about 72 hours. It was a very creative experience. It was time for me to really prepare and think about the meaning of the song and get prepared for the performance. I really wanted to be born on stage. The creative vessel was helpful for me to stay focused. We had it backstage so that I was able to really stay in this sort of creative, embryonic incubation. This is what I do, Ryan. I'm so passionate about this record and the meaning of the album."
Gaga also talked about her upcoming album and a few of the track names, including "Judas," "Marry the Night," "Government Hooker" and "Hair."
Not sure if we believe the whole 72 hours thing, but LG is a dedicated performer to her craft so who knows!

Channing Tatum covers the All-American Style Issue of GQ magazine, and the former stripper looks ab-solutely delicious in this sexy shot!
Tatum, who stars in The Eagle, talks about doing his own stunts, noting that this film was a big step up from his previous work -- literally! “You know when someone is so nervous about something, it makes you doubt yourself? Like on Step Up, I was going to do this backflip off the car. That’s something I do, like, all the time. I just do backflips off things," he says. "By the time it was time to do it, I was, like, shaking, because everyone was all, ‘Are you sure you want to do this?’ But then I did it, and it was ï¬Âne.â€Â
So what does he have to say about his past stunts, like stripping? “I had wanted to tell people. I’m not ashamed of it. I don’t regret one thing. I’m not a person who hides sh*t.â€Â

Nicole Richie co-hosted The View this morning where the subject of Charlie Sheen's recent radio rant against his Two and a Half Men employers came up during the show's Hot Topics segment.
The former wild-child, who has been arrested three times and been to rehab once, says that sobriety is Charlie's responsibility and his alone.
Responding to Sheen's claim that he showed up at the set of his hit show "ready" to work, but the execs wouldn't let him, Richie said:
"I don't think he should make it somebody else's responsibility to keep him sober. That message was a little like 'you guys better give me something to do.' If he wants it [sobriety] to last for a long time it's up to him. He's an adult and he needs to take responsibility for his actions."
But Nicole wasn't the only one to have a response to Charlie's claims that the producers were keeping him from working.
On last night's episode, Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre posted a two-second card at the end of the episode that read, "I exercise regularly. I eat moderate amounts of healthy food. I make sure to get plenty of rest. I see my doctor once a year and my dentist twice a year. I floss every night. I've had chest x-rays, cardio stress tests, EKG's and colonoscopies. I see a psychologist and have a variety of hobbies to reduce stress. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I don't have crazy, reckless sex with strangers. If Charlie Sheen outlives me, I'm gonna be really pissed."
The show is set to resume production at the end of the month.

Richard Lugner, known as an eccentric Austrian businessman, is considering legal action against Lindsay Lohan after the actress backed out of a scheduled appearance.
Lugner had confirmed Lilo as his guest to last year's Vienna Opera Ball and had even paid the troubled starlet $270,000 for her appearance. After claiming she missed her flight, Lindsay was a no-show at the annual event. The 78-year-old businessman says despite not showing up, Lilo still took the money, and to this day, has returned only $13,000.
When asked about the lawsuit, Lugner said, "If we sue, we are faced with the problem of how solvent she is."

Paula Abdul's new reality show, Live To Dance is not being renewed for a second season, according to TV Guide.
Abdul has yet to release a statement on the cancellation, but CBS reportedly called Abdul on Friday to break the news, and the former American Idol judge is said to be very upset. The show ran for a full season, and last week D'Angelo Castro and Amanda Carbajales won the $500,000 prize on the season finale.
No word on what Abdul plans to do next, but there have been rumblings that her former AI colleague Simon Cowell is considering bringing her on board at The X Factor.
