She's givin' us somethin' to talk about, that's for sure! Britney Spears busted out some real, live singing during her Las Vegas concert at the Hard Rock hotel Saturday night and all you haters can just go home! Girlfriend rocks!
Spears belted out her own rendition of Bonnie Raitt's "Something To Talk About" and it was amazing! Such a good fit for her Louisiana roots -- a little twangy, right on pitch and even a nice little groooowl in there.
Britney got real and opened the song with a little speech, explaining her choice to sing live: "So I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, right? This morning I woke up and I was like, ‘There’s a lot of things going on in the world’ and stuff, but basically I looked and I was like, you know what, the press and the media my whole life … you know, it's really crazy, one minute they tear you down and they’re really horrible, and the next minute you’re on top of the world, you know? I’ve never really spoke about it, you know, and I’m a Southern girl. I’m from Louisiana. I’m from the South and I like to keep it real, so I want to just make sure I keep having you m--fers something to talk about ok?"

Takin' it easy! Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux enjoyed dinner with friends Courteney Cox and Jason Bateman and his wife at Nobu in Malibu Saturday night, just a day after their pal, uber-producer Joel Silver, was served with a lawsuit for the wrongful death of his personal assistant whose body was found washed up on the beach during Aniston and Theroux's 2015 Bora Bora honeymoon!
It's pretty dramatic -- read all the deets HERE. And it's super weird that this never came to light until the assistant's family filed suit against the mega-rich Silver. Someone DIED during their honeymoon! This sh*t doesn't happen ever day, people! Thank god ...
But last night Jen and Justin put their worries aside and enjoyed some sushi with pals. It's Silver's problem now ...

Selena Gomez gets political!
The actress guest moderated a Q&A for the new film Good Time, which premiered at Cannes this year, at Arclight Saturday night in Hollywood and the triple-threat had a hidden message for President Donald Trump in her attire ...
Gomez wore a necklace that reads, "We the people" -- the first three words of the preamble to the Constitution of the United States, a document we're not 100% sure our own President has read in its entirety. Remember back in high school when you had to memorize, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Cool! We love the words and we love Selena for owning this necklace! And isn't it appropriate at this time, when our own president appears to be normalizing the hateful, bigoted, white supremacist speech of demonstrators at the University of Virginia last week -- yes, First Amendment, but let's also value domestic tranquility and general welfare and EQUALITY!

Oh no, this fight is NOT over yet ... Jay Z finally addressed his outstanding issues with Kanye West in an interview to promote his album 4:44 the other day on the Rap Radar podcast and he said everything's okay EXCEPT that Kanye brought Beyonce and Blue Ivy into the equation when he went on a tirade during his Oakland concert last year before eventually being hospitalized for a supposed nervous breakdown.
So Jay's got a single on the album, "Kill Jay Z" and it's got a lot in there about his feud with Ye: "I know people backstab you, I feel bad too / But this ‘F--k everybody’ attitude ain’t natural / But you ain’t the same, this ain’t KumbaYe / But you got hurt because you did cool by ’Ye / You gave him 20 million without blinkin’ / He gave you 20 minutes on stage, f--k was he thinkin’? / ‘F--k wrong with everybody?’ is what you sayin’ / But if everybody’s crazy, you’re the one that’s insane."
But Jay told hosts Brian Wilson and Brian "B.Dot" Miller that "It's not a diss. I'm talking to myself the whole time."
He went on to say:
"You got hurt because this person was talking about you on a stage. But what really hurt me was, you can’t bring my kid or my wife into it. Kanye’s my little brother. He’s talked about me 100 times. He made a song called ‘Big Brother.’ We’ve gotten past bigger issues. But you brought my family into it, now it’s a problem with me. That’s a real, real problem. And he knows it’s a problem."
Hova says he knows Kanye knows he messed up: "I know he knows, because we’ve never let this much space go between one of our disagreements, and we’ve had many, because that’s who we are. That’s what I like about him. He’s an honest person, he’s open and he’ll say things and he’s wrong a lot of times and he’ll confront it."
I mean ... it's kinda cool for him to talk like this. But it's just like the cheating on Beyonce thing ... how much of your dirty laundry should you air in public in order to promote and album???
The ultimate Virgin, Queen of Pop, Material Girl is pushing 60, people, and she still amazes us. She's added to her brood, redesigned the meaning of family, pulled and tightened and continued to shock us with her ability to sing and dance and contort her body into difficult yoga poses.
Of course Madge didn't celebrate quietly at home, she threw a huge birthday bash in Leece, Italy with her adopted twin girls Stella and Esther, 4, sons Rocco, 17, and David, 11, and daughters Lourdes, 20 and her first adopted child, Mercy, 11. Of course we have a feeling some other guests were there too ...
The girls were decked out in Dolce & Gabbana and the boys wore vests. It was a gypsy-themed event and we imagine there were cool Italian cocktails flowing because Madonna posted a selfie Saturday morning after the bash and admitted she had a hangover :)
Seems the night was a special one, as the singer shared this sweet selfie with daughter Lourdes -- a kiss for mom must have been the best gift she received!

Okay, we get it! Kourtney Kardashian is the oldest Kardashian sister and a mother of three, but that doesn't mean she's not hot as hell, damnit!
The 38-year-old strutted her stuff Friday as she left a Burbank studio, wearing a lace crop-top cami with a white button-down draped around her shoulders, ripped jeans and Gianvito Rossi heels. Her look screamed "Hey, look at me! I'm hot!"
KK recently returned from vacation in Egypt with boyfriend Younes Bendjima but now that the couple's back in LA, the male model was spotted out with 18-year-old Sofia Richie this week at lunch, holding hands!!! Kourtney's gotta get her man's attention ASAP before he switches gears and goes for the younger girl. What better way to do that than wearing lingerie in public!

Who knew?! Jennifer Aniston's marriage got off to a cursed start when her pal Joel Silver's assistant DIED during the couple's honeymoon in Bora Bora!
Aniston and hubby Justin Theroux had a group honeymoon, with their best friends shacking up in luxury overwater bungalows at an exclusive French Polynesian hotel back in the summer of 2015 -- super-producer Joel Silver was one such guest. He brought along his assistant and his personal chef to the Four Seasons hotel -- Carmel Musgrove, 23, being his assistant/nanny.
Musgrove's family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Silver, his company and Silver's chef -- here's why ... Apparently Musgrove was at dinner with the group the night of Aug. 18 after day-drinking during a fishing trip. After dinner, she went back to the room of Silver's personal chef Martin Herold and continued drinking and doing drugs, according to the complaint. It is alleged that Herold provided cocaine to Musgrove. The last person to see her alive was a front desk receptionist who Musgrove asked for matches around midnight on the 18th. The next morning when Musgrove didn't turn up at breakfast, a search began and after more than a day of looking, her body was found on the banks of a nearby beach. An autopsy found her drowning to be the result of overconsumption of alcohol, consumption of cocaine, fatigue, and heat stroke.

Good to know!
Aaron Carter stepped out with his lady "friend" Porcelain Black last night, and he seemed to be eating up all the newfound attention he's getting after coming out as bisexual. Before, nobody really cared about him, but now he's the talk of the town!
The pair hit up Nobu for dinner and then Delilah for an after party, and when photographers begged the singer to get out of his car and pose for a pic with his new babe, he made quite the confession. "I'm still getting my d*ck sucked," he shouted. Does that mean they were in the act on the way to to the club? Or does it mean he has no problem bagging chicks? We're confused...
His ex Madison Parker has been slammed for allegedly dumping him when he came out, but she says his gay reveal had nothing to do with her decision to end their romance.
"My split with Aaron has nothing to do with him being bisexual. Our parting of ways is something that has been coming for some time and it's the best thing for us both. Some of my closest friends and loved ones are of the LGBTQ community, people I love and support wholeheartedly, so for Out.com or anyone to label me 'homophobic' is appalling and hurtful and couldn't be more off character," she told E! News.
"I've been nothing but supportive of Aaron and his career and I'm happy for him that he's having the courage to live his truth. Breaking up is never easy for anyone, but it is my hope that we can move on from this point as peacefully and respectfully as possible. I wish him all the best," she added.
It's pretty clear he has no problem getting some action!
