Is it just me or is he hot hot hot? Many will probably disagree but I think that U2 frontman still has what it takes for – whatever. He was spotted at St. Barts without his shirt and – OMG – without his shades! TMZ says he was barely recognizable but I would recognize Bono anytime!

As Chris Brown is starting out his sentence (labor), another celebrity is being accused of abusing his ex-girlfriend. Former teen heartthrob Andrew Keegan's ex-girlfriend says that he beat her and that he slashed her tires. Kristi Parrales, the complainant is asking for restraining order against Keegan, who has supposedly been terrorizing her for over a year now. Maybe he's frustrated that his career has gone down the drain?

Michael Jackson is going to be buried today - finally. A rep from singer Gladys Knight's camp has confirmed that she will be singing at the burial. You may not know it but the two singers knew each other when they were young. The burial will be held at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, CA.

Kelly Clarkson is set to entertain the people of Los Angeles on September 14 at the Hollywood & Highland complex. She will be performing in a free concert, which is the last leg of the Samsung AT&T Summer Krush concert tour. The venue has space for 5,000 people so if you're a Clarkson fan, better get your tickets here.

The death of DJ AM has rocked the celebrity world yet again, and much like the Michael Jackson case, it seems that pain medication plays a huge role. According to Dr. Drew Pinsky, an addiction specialist, the pain medication that was prescribed to DJ AM after his plan accident last year might be the cause of his sliding back to old habits. The doctor is not pointing any fingers but is raising the point that this kind of medication slowly and subtly reawakens past desires linked to drug use.

Expecting mom Ellen Pompeo got a nice present from Katherine Heigl – a pink-themed baby shower. Katherine held the shower at Ellen’s home in Los Feliz, California, and some other Grey’s Anatomy stars were present. Sources say that the mother-to-be was glowing with a different kind of beauty – who wouldn’t be?

Britney Spears and sister Jamie Lyn Spears were seen in Miami lately together with their family. They lounged around the Mandarin Oriental Hotel pool on Monday, and they are looking pretty good. Looks like things are going well for the family.

Rumors have been surfacing that Tyra Banks is engaged to John Utendahl, her long time beau. These came about because Tyra has been seen wearing a nice ring on her left ring finger. The supermodel talk show host was quick to deny the rumors, though. In her Twitter, she wrote: “Hearing about crazy rumors that I’m engaged. Well, I’m not. The ‘RING’ is my high school class ring. It’s 10k gold, and has zero diamonds. Ha!”

Talk about conceit! Spencer Pratt is legally changing his name to King Spencer Pratt. He says that since there is a “a Queen of England and a Prince William that there should be a king of America.” So he proclaims himself as king? I feel embarrassed for the guy.

Back in the day, googling the name Heidi will take you back to your childhood storybooks of a young girl’s adventures in the Swiss Alps. Fast forward to 2009 and there’s a new Heidi who tops the search engines.

Heidi’s dirty Playboy cover for the month of September. She went from a cup A to C in a 2007 plastic surgery, but don’t expect to see her hills in this issue. Heidi didn’t go all the way for the shoot.

Love her or hate her, Heidi Montag’s road to fame has been one crazy ride. After all, reality stars have a short a life span; they’re only as good as their last reality show. They need to extend their shelf life with (a) another reality show, (b) an acting career (which tells you how real reality TV is, c) a music career (which is usually for American Idol contestants) or (d) other money-making ventures.

It has not been long since her departure from American Idol, and Paula Abdul has not “settled down” yet. She has been trying out projects left and right, but what she really wants is a talk show of her own. Watch out guys, she just might get her wish!

They say that hard times in life make people stronger and more motivated. It looks like this is the case with Shania Twain. After being out of the limelight for quite some time, she is slowly inching her way back. She has gotten divorced, and she says this was a big bump in her life. Now, she is ready to take on the world yet again. Best of luck!

Carrie Prejean, controversial former Miss California, sued the organizers of the beauty pageant for firing her. The grounds? They fired her not because of her inability to fulfill her contract but because she made a statement (in public) against gay marriage. The other party has not made a comment yet. So what do you think is the real reason behind her firing?

Renee Zellweger was involved in a car accident yesterday in Beverly Hills. Reports say that it was a minor one, however, and that she didn’t get injured. Apparently, another motorist performed an illegal u-turn and hit her car. Lucky her, she got away with nary a scratch.

It’s kinda hard to believe; almost like Megan Fox is taking “humility” a bit too far by saying that she is “completely insecure about her looks.” Then again, maybe she really is insecure. You never know. I am sure that most guys would tell her there is nothing to be insecure about!

In his first live interview since the controversial beating up of his girlfriend (ex?) Rihanna, Chris Brown told Larry King that he still loves her and that he does not remember the events of that fateful night. Maybe it’s really a strange case of amnesia, or maybe it’s a convenient memory gap. I wonder how Rihanna feels about the whole thing?

Actor-singer-comedian Jamie Foxx is currently on his “Blame It” tour, and two days before the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, he brought laughter to the people of New Orleans. Part of the proceeds of the concert will be donated to Brad Pitt’s foundation, Make It Right.

Filmmaker Spike Lee threw a birthday bash for the late Michael Jackson in Brooklyn. He would have turned 51. Countless fans were present; DJ Spinna played. At first, it looked like the weather would not cooperate but everything turned out fine for the thousands of fans who were present to celebrate the life of their idol.

Madonna has been traipsing around the world, and nothing is stopping her – not even the jeers and boos she received in her recent concert. Her latest destination? The Holy Land, where she visited the Western Wall among other things. She has two concerts slated in Israel.
