Rihanna Is Aces In Her “You Da One” Video
After teasing us with pictures of her grill and smoke billowing from her luscious lips, Rihanna is finally ready to release her “You Da One” music video in all it glory. And it is indeed pretty glorious. The clip features the queasy songbird writhing around in a body suit with various trippy shapes projected onto her person, along with a Clockwork Orange-inspired getup (not nearly as menacing on a pop star as it is in Stanley Kubrick’s film) — all in black-and-white, with crotch-grabs in spades. Plus, if you ever wanted to see RiRi Talk That Talk, you can do no better than the close-up of her disembodied lips with several of the song’s lyrics flashing by. Watch below.

Melanie Amaro Wins Inaugural Season of "The X Factor"
Beating out millions of hopefuls, the winner of the inaugural season of "The X Factor" was announced during the results show airing on FOX on Thursday night (December 22).
During the course of the evening, Chris Rene was the first of the three finalists to be eliminated, leaving Melanie Amaro and Josh Krajcik as the last two remaining contestants on the FOX competition show.
With Simon Cowell standing beside Miss Amaro and Nicole Scherzinger alongside Mr Krajcik, Melanie was announced as the big winner of the $5,000,000 prize and a recording contract.
Of the triumph, Amaro was completely overwhelmed to the point in which she could barely speak, only uttering, Oh my God, Oh My God!"
The finale show also featured performances by Justin Bieber with special guests Drew Ryniewicz and Stevie Wonder, along with Leona Lewis, 50 Cent and R. Kelly, whose duet with Melanie on the song "I Believe I Can Fly" can be watched in the player above!
Nicole Scherzinger Covers Cosmo South Africa January 2012
Gaining worldwide popularity after transitioning from the Pussycat Dolls to judge on "The X Factor," Nicole Scherzinger was selected to cover the January 2012 issue of Cosmopolitan South Africa.
The 33-year-old brunette beauty looks striking in a spread shot by photographer Pavel Havlicek while speaking with the magazine about topics including body confidence, being anti-diets and her supposed feud with British singer Cheryl Cole.
Highlights from Nicole's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Cosmopolitan South Africa!
On whether she's always been body-confident:
"I was so awkward and lanky, and only felt comfortable when I escaped to my room to listen to Whitney Houston and sing at the top of my voice."
On whether she and Cheryl Cole are enemies:
"I have to consciously distance myself from what is said in the tabloids, because I'm highly sensitive to that stuff. How do they come up with it? I think they were trying to start a rivalry between us. But it's all silly and, at the end of the day, you just have to laugh about it because it's not real."
On her averseness to dieting:
"I don't believe in diets very much. I have tried every one out there and I've realized they don't work. It's more about having a consistent diet in everyday life. I don't believe in depriving myself of anything. Balance, moderation and staying active - that is what works."
On the standing of the Pussycat Dolls:
"I'll tell you as much as I know. I've never left the Pussycat Dolls. I'm still the lead singer of the group. I do know that a few girls have left to pursue solo careers. I wish them only the best. I'm happy for them."
Lady Gaga Gets Mobbed In Tokyo
Lady Gaga wasn't just spotted leaving the Shabu Shabu restaurant earlier today in Tokyo — the pop star was flat out mobbed. Reportedly, Little Monsters were tipped off to Gaga's whereabouts and camped out in the cold to see the recently named Entertainer Of The Year. (And judging by the "Marry The Night" singer's blindingly gold getup, we don't get the impression she was trying to slip away undetected.) Hopefully, a good dinner and signing autographs for screaming fans helps Gaga cope with her jet lag-induced insomnia. Speaking of sleep, is Lady Gaga's outfit giving you sweet dreams or nightmares?

McFly’s Harry Judd Shirtless & In His Underwear [PHOTOS]
Pop star drummer Harry Judd from the UK band McFly recently participated in a photo shoot for Attitude magazine. Lucky for us, the photo shoot featured him shirtless and in his underwear.
Harry recently participated on the reality show Strictly Ballroom (the UK version of Dancing With the Stars) and won! His McFly bandmate Dougie Poynter also just happened to win the top prize on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here as well. So the band is feeling the fruits of those successes.
The Sun alleges that the band’s new offer is “worth millions”, and that both ITV and the BBC are keen to get the group on board for a new TV project.
Harry, 25, has also apparently been flooded with modelling offers, after flashing the flesh on a weekly basis on the BBC dancing contest.
The boys have been enjoying the high life following their TV victories, with Dougie apparently tweeting the praises of royal newlywed Kate Middleton.
He wrote yesterday: “The royal babe was at the military awards last night, as is tradition. So so elegant, so lovely, so hot in the face”.
Madonna’s Truth Or Dare Fragrance: Coming Soon
Feast your eyes on the press kit for Madonna's new fragrance line Truth Or Dare — yes, the same title as her provocative 1991 documentary. (And, yes, that's a Kiki de Montparnasse designed blindfold.) The scent hits Macy's this April, and Madge describes the aroma as, "narcotic florals, balanced with addictive woods and vanilla, ...Something honest and yet daring — hence the name Truth or Dare." (Personally, we hoped the icon would draw inspiration from, say, "Hanky Panky" or "La Isla Bonita".) The start of the new year is shaping up nicely for the Material Girl: first, a Super Bowl halftime show, two Golden Globe noms, an upcoming album and now a perfume! What do you think of the racy packaging?
Prince William & Kate Middleton's Centrepoint Charity Visit
They’re already known for their philanthropic tendencies, and newlyweds Prince William and Kate Middleton were spotted at the Centrepoint charity earlier today (December 21).
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge looked to be enjoying themselves as they made their visit to the homeless aid organization in Camberwell as the paparazzi looked on.
And of course, Catherine was stunning as always, sporting an olive green jersey dress by Ralph Lauren, cinched with a thick black belt and black tights with black boots.
Meanwhile, Prince William kept things simple and handsome in a blue v-neck pullover with a white shirt and navy trousers.
