Zac Efron: Sao Paulo Stud

Enjoying some time in South America, Zac Efron was spotted out and about in Sao Paulo, Brazil earlier today (February 29).

The “Charlie St. Cloud” hunk attended a photocall at John John denim boutique and showed some love to his faithful Brazilian fans.

During a recent interview, Zac chatted about his new movie “The Lorax,” which also happens to star the lovely Taylor Swift.

When asked about similarities to his character in the film, Zac noted, “He’s sort of a hopeless romantic. He’s adventurous, he’s persistent, he’s stubborn, kind of annoying, pretty funny. He has a big imagination. I’d like to think I’m all those things. He learned that all for me. I taught him everything he knows.”

Efron also shared that he’s been a Dr. Seuss fan for awhile. “Yea, I started reading them in high school. [Laughs] No, I have a lot of vivid memories of my parents and me reading these books. They would read them to me. It’s frozen in my mind, I can see them all. I still have them in what used to be my room. It's been turned into a spare room at my house. I’ve been kicked out. My little brother took over my room.”

Jennifer Lopez Packs A Serious Punch For ‘V’ Magazine

Jennifer Lopez swaps her ultra feminine Oscar gown for an androgynous hairdo and an eyebrow-raising groin protector for her V magazine cover spread. Photographer Mario Testino shot the pics for the mag's sports issue, which saw the American Idol judge putting up her dukes in a way that recalled the pop star's Enough days. In her interview, J.Lo shares the secret to surviving career setbacks, saying: "You’re not going to hit the target or the bull’s-eye every time...You have amazing moments of recognition and success. But at this point in my life, I try to take it all with a grain of salt.”

Rocking another one of her unique fashion choices, Lady Gaga made a stop by Harvard Yard in Cambridge, MA today (February 29) before launching her "Born This Way Foundation".

The "Poker Face" singer looked ready for the snowy day ahead wearing a structured long black jacket with iridescent arms, sheer black gloves and a full length black skirt with the fashion icon topping off her outfit with one of her signature wild headpieces and a red lip.

Lady Gaga’s Earliest Photo Shoot Revealed

Long before Lady Gaga was the mega pop star we've come to know and love, and even longer before the "Marry The Night" singer teamed up with Terry Richardson, she was just 19-year-old Stefani Germonatta posing for friend and restaurant coworker Malgorzata Saniewska. Judging by the black and white pics that have surfaced from their session together, the Paul McCartney smoocher may have been Born This Way, but she clearly hadn't quite evolved into the Mother Monster she is today. Check out Gaga doing her best Myspace-profile-picture pose in her parents' Upper East Side apartment in her "first ever" photo shoot. [CNN]

Katy Perry Transforms Herself for Interview Magazine's March Issue

The March 2012 cover of Interview Magazine leaked online earlier today (February 27), and it revealed a dramatically different looking Katy Perry on its front page.

Highlights from Megan's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Cosmopolitan!

On her tough-girl image:
“It’s because I have tattoos and I say curse words, and apparently, that’s crazy. I think maybe I give off this energy of seeming like I don’t give a fuck, and that’s misinterpreted. But I’m not wild.”

On first meeting now-husband Brian Austin Green:
“I didn’t know who he was, since I was too young for Beverly Hills 90210. But the first time I saw him, I got butterflies. And the first time he casually touched me? There was so much electricity. We’ve had obstacles, and we’ve overcome them. I truly feel like he’s my soul mate. I don’t want to sound corny or cliché, but I do believe we are destined to live this part of our lives together.”

Madonna’s “Girl Gone Wild” Lyric Video: Watch

Perhaps to avoid any legal run-ins with Girls Gone Wild franchise creator Joe Francis, Madonna’s second MDNA single has now had its title slightly altered to “Girl Gone Wild”. Whatever the case may be, a lyric video for the track — and the song itself — premiered today, and here we find Madge doing what she does best: turning up the heat on the dance floor. Watch below.

Madonna enlisted the production skills of Benny Bennasi and Alle Bennasi for the pulsing club jam “Girl Gone Wild”. Lyrically, the song is packed with tried-but-true sexual pop cliches like “girls they just wanna have some fun” (what up, Cyndi Lauper?), “you got me in the zone” and “I got that burnin’ hot desire”.

Jessie J Covers Rihanna’s “We Found Love”

Mellow and subtle aren’t the first words that come to mind when we think of Jessie J, but lo and behold, the Brit songbird impressively turns Rihanna’s rave-lite anthem “We Found Love” into a sensitive acoustic number for Radio 1 Live Lounge series. Since the singer revealed that her sophomore album will be more acoustic and piano-based, looks like this toned-down Jessie is going to be here for awhile. Do you like, or is “Domino” more your jam? Listen below and let us know.

Nicki Minaj Livens Up the 2012 NBA All-Star Game

Bringing her energy to the annual sports spectacle, Nicki Minaj helped open up the 2012 NBA All-Star Game in Orlando, Florida on Sunday (February 26).

The 29-year-old took to a makeshift stage at the Amway center while delving into a medley of songs including "Moment 4 Life” and fan favorite “Super Bass.”

The appearance comes shortly after Miss Minaj made headlines thanks to a controversial Catholic-themed exorcism performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards.

Responding to the critics, Nicki told Entertainment Weekly, “I don’t know, what is the big issue? You know how people write plays and movies? That’s what I did. I wrote that and I gave the world a tiny little preview of what’s to come. And I have to perform it on the set in which the movie would be, right?”
