Up-and-coming performer Austin Mahone has faced comparisons to Justin Bieber for pretty much the entirety of his career, but this week he made a move that was decidedly un-Bieberish: He handled what might have been a subliminal diss with grace. On Monday morning — when most celebs were offering their opinions on Miley Cyrus' tongue-laden twerkathon — Harry Styles opined that the MTV Video Music Award for "Artist to Watch" had gone to the wrong person. "IGGYAZALEA should've won last nig...

After a brief prologue, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters opens on a whirling contraption of an obstacle course designed to be perilously difficult for teenagers (demigod or not) to climb. As the thing twirls and throws young challengers from its wooden handholds, it separates the weak from the strong, and the pitiless from the compassionate. Thus five minutes into the movie we learn something about Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, god of the sea, who gives up his place atop the vertical obstacle...

Update: (Tues - July 16, 2013) "Glee" actor Cory Monteith, who had struggled for years with substance abuse, died of an overdose of heroin and alcohol, the British Columbia coroner's office said Tuesday. "There is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith's death was anything other than a most tragic accident," the office said in a statement.

It looks like Fox is taking a new approach to Glee's fifth season. We already knew that Heather Morris wouldn't be returning to the hit musical dramedy as a series regular, but now TVLine reports that three other original cast members — Mark Salling, Amber Riley, and Harry Shum, Jr. — will NOT be returning to the hit TV show as series regulars as well. Brittany (Morris) said her sad goodbyes at the end of season four to go off and study at MIT. Puck (Salling), Mike (Shum), and Merce...

At this point 17-year-old performer Austin Mahone knows exactly how to deal with the inevitable Justin Bieber comparisons — with plenty of grace. During a recent appearance on Extra, he explained, "It's very flattering. He’s very successful… I hope to be as successful as him someday, but I just want people to give me a chance, see me as my own artist and as Austin.” Given how solid his latest music video is, that day is not far off. Austin works some 'N Sync-era dance moves in the cli...

Justin Bieber is precisely 640 days away from his 21st birthday, but that did not stop him from partying at three NYC nightclubs Wednesday night. TMZ reports the 19-year-old hit up Avenue, Marquee, and then 1 Oak in the Big Apple, even though he's a minor. There's also video footage of him at said venues. Hmm. TMZ did some digging and discovered that all three clubs were advertising 21+ nights Wednesday. Now, there could be a loophole — the venues could have a license to allow minors in, bu...

On Wednesday, Rihanna unveiled a special treat for her beloved Navy: The cover of her next single, "Right Now" featuring David Guetta. Sure, Rihanna still has fans waiting on the music video for "Pour It Up," but she's hoping that "Right Now" will become a summer anthem for 2013. It's the latest in a string of EDM-flavored songs about living in the moment — we should just be thankful its title doesn't come with a hashtag. Check out the song below. It's a passable club tune, but is it goi...

Give a 19-year-old boy stacks of cash, fancy cars, and a constant stream of affirmation from adoring young females, and you've got the recipe for the neighbor from hell. This week, pop star Justin Bieber allegedly refused to speak to authorities after not one but two neighbors called the cops on him to complain about the "startling high rate of speed" at which he was driving in their Calabasas, California gated community. According to TMZ, the incident occurred around 8 p.m. on Sunday night, ...

After distancing himself in order to focus on becoming the biggest movie star in the world, Will Smith is finally back to embracing the TV show and rap game that launched his career. During their appearance on the Graham Norton Show, Will and son Jaden allowed themselves to be persuaded to perform the Fresh Prince theme song, but the surprises didn't stop there. Enter none other than DJ Jazzy Jeff on the turntables and Alfonso Ribeiro, aka Carlton, in the role of hype man. If only life could ...

Actor Edward Furlong tried to hide, but ended up caught and behind bars in California for allegedly violating a protective order filed against him by an ex-girlfriend, authorities said. West Hollywood, California, deputies responded at 5:44 p.m. Thursday to a call about a possible violation of a protection order, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Friday in a news release. They found the suspect -- the 35-year-old actor best known for his role in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" --...

For all of Twitter's benefits — immediacy, connection, information — it's also given jerks a direct line to be absolutely awful to people without fear of being punched in the face. (Anybody can be a tough guy when they're an anonymous tough guy.) The result is a license for hate speech, something Miley Cyrus is all too familiar with. For some reason, certain pop culture fandom fiefdoms feel like the more they hate the competitors, the more it shows their love for celeb they've adopted as ...

Here's what you missed on Sunday if you were too busy hanging out with mom to catch Justin Bieber's cameo on The Simpsons: The Biebs tried to enter a Springfield talent show but was rejected because he wasn't under 10. After ONLY ten seconds, the pop star then storms off the screen as "All clear - The Simpsons will be Bieber free from this point" flashes in his place. But as producer Al Jean recently told Rolling Stone, Bieber was worked into an episode only because a family member of series...

Despite rumors pointing to a Justin Bieber/Selena Gomez reunion following their run-in in Norway last month, Gomez is very much a single lady. During a radio interview on Friday, Gomez put the rumors to rest when the DJ asked about her dating life. "So sometimes you may see a boy walking down the street and he says, 'let's grab a ice-cream' — you're available? Completely available in every way?" To which Gomez responded with resounding affirmative, "Yep, by the way, that'd be awesome if so...

Justin Timberlake is suiting up for a world tour this fall. The "Mirrors" singer has announced that in addition to releasing a second half of "The 20/20 Experience," he's also going to embark on a tour that will last through 2014. Timberlake hinted around the March release of "Experience" that the 10-track disc was actually only the first half of his heralded return to music. The 32-year-old has since confirmed that part two will arrive on September 30, roughly a month before he kicks off ...
