Kanye West may have lost out on a few million by giving Kris Jenner first access to the first pics of North West, but he made up for it by performing at a wedding in Kazakhstan, where he apparently made $3 million at the president's grandson's ceremony on August 31. He had to play some of his... less abrasive hits for the occasion, but hey, he cashed in.
From TMZ:
Our Central Asian sources tell us ... Kanye was invited by President Nursultan Nazarbayev to perform at his grandson's wedding Saturday night in Almaty at the Hotel Roya...
Okay, here's the deal: Apparently Justin Timberlake said that *NSYNC was better than One Direction during some interview on The Breakfast Club and now he's trying to backtrack and claim that that question was really who would win at a pie eating contest. Uh... LOL. Here's the comments in question:
"I have not seen them on stage, but I'd be willing to say that we're better than them.
"But I don't feel like I'm laying down any gauntlet. I've seen them a couple times and I like those guys. ...
I enjoy Britney Spears as a personality. She's slightly slow in a charming way (don't play, you know it's true), can't sing a note under the seven layers of autotune but still makes killer songs AND enjoys a good deal at Walmart. What's not to love? Her music isn't as good as it once was, of course - the days of 'Boys' and 'Slave 4 U' are long gone - but at least she's still trying and somewhat managing to remain relevant well past the late '90s teen pop boom. Good for her.
Speaking of which, she...
Can you believe Little Richard is 80 years old? He's had a long and illustrious career, extending back to 1948. That's over half a century! Wowee! Who doesn't love a bit of 'Tutti Frutti"? Since I don't know all that much about Little Richard, I fell into a black hole reading his Wikipedia page. Little Richard was a FREAK (in the best way) back in the day - he got into voyeurism at 15 and was even arrested for having sex with a couple in a car shortly after. He also did drag for a good many y...
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell that Miley Cyrus is pretty fucked up, right? Especially after that VMAs nonsense, it became clear that she needs some serious help and for someone to hold a gigantic mirror up in front of her so she can see the bullshit she's been doing over the past year. Is this nonsense a form of PTSD from her childhood? An extreme reaction to Liam Hemsworth running far, far away from her triflin' ass? Who can say?
In any case, turns out Miley actually knows she's "fuc...
Last night Lady Gaga did a concert in London as part of an iTunes festival, meaning that if you have iTunes or the iTunes festival app, you could watch Gaga do her first live show in a bazillion years. Pretty incredible that we have the technology to watch live concerts across the world in real time in color on our cell phones. That amazed me more than her performance.
Jennifer and I watched it from across the country and we both had the same sense of, "WTF is this?" I liked her opening numb...
Lance Bass is engaged to be married to Michael Turchin, who looks like some hot combination of Adrien Brody and someone hotter than Adrien Brody. Us Weekly says they have the exclusive details, so here they are:
Dating since December 2011, the couple got engaged in New Orleans after Bass proposed to the aspiring actor and model with a black diamond band. He even texted his future husband's parents to ask for their permission first.
"They're such a great couple, everyone is so happy for th...
What a week it's been. We came off of She Who Must Not Be Named and all other kinds of hot mess outfits at the VMAs and ended with Daniel Radcliffe doing this (above). A lot going on. Here are the best, worst, and WTF celebrity looks of the week -- end of August.

Amanda Bynes has had one dramatic summer. After setting fire to a stranger's driveway, Bynes got a court-ordered psychiatric hospital stay where she's being treated for PTSD. She hasn't tweeted since July 19 when she tweeted, "Drake is gorgeous." Bynes has been tweeting about Drake a lot. The rapper finally talked about her tweets in an interview with XXL. Spoiler alert: he's not thrilled.
Well...sorry, Drake. She's back. Though she's still undergoing mandatory psychiatric care, Bynes broke her twit...
David Bowie and Mick Jagger should totally play roommates who don't get along, with Lou Reed as their landlord, and Iggy Pop as the cat lady down the hall. This totally isn't going to happen, but a fictionalized show around Bowie and Jagger's experiences in 1970s might, and with Martin Scorsese on board. This sounds way too good to be true. Here's what Daily Mail is saying:
The drama will be based on a fictional account – first compiled decades ago by the rock stars – of the sleazy recor...
Cate Blanchett is known for her super sharp fashion tastes. She's always the face of something or other, and for high end labels. Oh and she's also an Oscar winning actress or whatever. She's also known for taking daring fashion risks that sometimes do not pay off. I think this is one of them.
This is the dress Ms. Blanchett wore to the Blue Jasmine screening at the Deauville Film Festival in France.

Justin Bieber is not the most beloved celeb in the world right now and I guess someone decided he's had enough of that darn kid. Mr. Beeby Beebs was randomly attacked at a nightclub in Canada. Because it was in Canada, I'm guessing his attacker opened with, "I'm so sorry, but I'm gonna have to attack ya now, eh?" This is based on repeated viewings of How I Met Your Mother, which I can only assume is based on real life. Bieber defended himself by kicking the dude until his bodyguards rushed i...
