Michael Jackson's music and legacy will be front and center in the upcoming Cirque Du Soleil traveling show The Immortal World Tour that will eventually make its way permanently to Las Vegas at the MGM Mirage hotel in 2012.

The show, which will debut October 2, 2011 in Canada, will be a joint effort between the Michael Jackson Estate and Cirque Du Soleil ... with both sharing the profits 50/50.

In addition to sixty international performers being featured, the show will be centered around "Michael's inspirational Giving Tree — the wellspring of his creativity. The secrets of Michael’s inner world are unlocked— his love of music and dance, fairy tale and magic, and the fragile beauty of nature."

Jamie King, who directed Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Tour in 2008, will also be directing The Immortal World Tour

The 30-city tour will include stops at New York's Madison Square Garden, the Honda Center in Anaheim and the Los Angeles Staples Center.

Ashlee Simpson posed on the redblack carpet at the Decades Denim event in Beverly Hills last night, and the blonde starlet was looking amazing from head to toe. I guess that's what hours at the gym and hair salon can do for a girl! And to think, she looks this good after having a kid...maybe big sister Jessica will have the same luck when she has children?

Christina Aguilera's personal life has been put under a microscope since she announced her divorce from husband Jordan Bratman last month, but her career is still hotter than ever! Xtina graces the December issue of REDBOOK, and the pop star talks candidly about the breakup of her marriage, motherhood and how Burlesque co-star Cher became a close confidante on the set of her new film, which is out this Thanksgiving.

These hot shots of Christina were taken just two days after she confirmed her split, and the 29-year-old Grammy winner said, "Every woman has the ability or the drive to do it all and have it all. Men aren't as strong and capable as we are. We're machines." Burn!

On balancing work and motherhood, Christina told the mag, "My life is cyclical. First it's album time, then it's touring time. I go through phases, so we roll with the punches. I'm not a 9-to-5 woman who has the same kind of lifestyle for years on end. I couldn't do it. I need the spontaneity, that thrill of change. That's part of how I get inspired. You know, this is what the cards have in store for Max. We put it into his brain early on that he's a traveling guy. He adapts well when we go from hotel to hotel."

Nicole Richie also spoke to the glossy about her best friend, saying, "It's very clear through Christina's music what a strong woman she is. But to watch her as a mother only skyrockets the respect I have for her. She is the woman who's recording until 4 a.m. and up at 7 to be with her son. Her dedication to Max is incredible."

Lookin' good, Xtina!

Now that the news of Mariah Carey's bun in the oven is out, the songstress is making the rounds on the talk show circuit to discuss her little baby due this Spring.

As for the conception process, Carey says she and hubby Nick Cannon did not use in vitro fertilization to get pregnant, but instead Cannon admits to "once-a-day" acupuncture "all over her body. I think it helped her quite a bit, because it was a good destressor," according to Us.

The singer also opens up about her miscarriage after their April 2008 wedding saying she "cried herself to sleep."

As for the moment they found out Mariah was expecting, Cannon says, "We definitely cried. We still cry all the time. It's an emotional journey."

While visiting Lopez Tonight, Mariah discussed how her hubby has been trying to convert her from wearing high heels to flats. She tells host George Lopez:

"Nick got me all these flat shoes...he's really trying to be responsible about it and I understand that. He came home, he had all these bags and I'm like 'Aww that was really sweet' and I'm looking at them trying to be nice about it because I'm a little specific about my stuff...I'm looking at them and they're really cute but every one of them had that thing...like a regular flip flop and that just doesn't work, my feet repel that..."

Divalicious! And George couldn't let Mariah go without a joke or two. He gave his audience a look at the special ultrasound of baby "Carey Cannon." Loves it!

The report of an alleged affair between Poison frontman Bret Michaels and Miley Cyrus' mom, Tish is getting shut down by the rocker's rep who made the following statement:

“This is untrue. My client is not that type of person, he has worked with Miley Cyrus and Tish on a professional level."

A source close to the Cyrus family tells X17online exclusively:

"Bret has known Tish and Billy Ray for a while now. The rumors started when Miley recorded Bret's song Every Rose Has Its Thorn. Sure, Tish has hung out with Bret, but that's it. They were just hanging out as friends. It's pretty obvious that this is a totally made up story. I honestly feel bad for Miley."

X17online videographers caught up with Miley just yesterday and she told us, "I'm sad" about the breakup. Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus are getting divorced after 16 years of marriage.

Katy Perry looks lovely on the December cover of Harper's Bazaar, and the singer spills all sorts of details to the mag on her romance with Russell Brand, her girlfriends and her public image.

On hubby Russell Brand, Katy says, “I always knew I wanted a great man of God, someone who was going to be an inspiration for people and also be a lovely husband and father. We’re at different places in our lives, but we can still grow together. He’s thought-provoking, articulate, a real advocate. I also definitely wanted to have a laugh. I have all that in him.”

When asked about her image, Katy says, “I’m kind of a good girl - and I’m not. I’m a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. I’m a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. But I like to get people thinking. That’s what the stories in my music do.”

So what about her famous BFFs like Rihanna? “We’re all unique. That’s why we all win and we all can exist. People don’t want just vanilla. They want 31 flavors. I couldn’t do what Rihanna does. I couldn’t do what Gaga does. They can’t do what I do.”
