» Sax-bothering public speaker Bill Clinton was serenaded by a Lady Gaga during a fairly tired-sounding version of what she called 'Bill Romance'. (Herald Sun)

» There's a lot of mud, straw and 'fake fucking' in this making of video for Rihanna's 'We Found Love'. (Billboard)

» Kelly Clarkson's favourite pastime is shooting one of her nine guns. (Daily Record)

» When she's not busy doing that, however, Clarko calms down by writing songs 'for' One Direction. WARNING: Story includes Ed Sheeran. (Daily Star)

» In 'to the left, to the left, everybody with a pushchair please park it in
the specially marked section to the left news because we're not going anywhere with it blocking the gangway' news, Chris Martin thinks Beyonce would be stared at even is she were a bus driver. (Daily Mail)

» The Actor Justin Timberlake has been honoured for his efforts to save the planet. (Contactmusic)

» Little Boots is not a fan of those adverts that feature chicken being put in a bag and then baked. (Twitter) 

» And finally, Justin Bieber wears a mask and creeps up behind a model in this depress­ingly unscary new advert for his perfume range. (Celebs Gather)
