Katy Perry Is Latest Celeb To Make Carly Rae Jepsen “Call Me Maybe” Cover Video


Katy Perry is the latest superstar singer to shoot a homemade video of herself and friends partying along to Bieber protégé and Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen's undeniably catchy hit, "Call Me Maybe." After a 

video featuring Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale and friends goofing along to the song went viral, thousands of YouTubers have been chiming in with their own videos, including actor James Franco.
While by the swanky pool of what is likely a rented house in near the Coachella Music Festival last weekend  ("Coachella!" cheers were made during the video), Katy Perry and friends danced with inflatable monkeys, posed, and acted adorably silly for the camera while blasting the song. Towards the end, Perry took over the camera, giving her friends direction to emulate the Bieber video and ended the shot with "We love you Justin Bieber!" The freshly purple-haired singer allowed herself the luxury of singing along to the song effortlessly (read: poorly), which I'm sure is always a well-deserved respite for her chart-topping pipes.

For those of you who may not have experienced the off-site Coachella phenomenon, renting a house with a pool, stuffing it with besties, and partying from morning to night is the essential way to do Coachella when you're not at the festival! Don't we all wish we were having that much fun with Katy and friends?



Morning Mail! Miley and Liam vs. Jennifer and Nick: Which Hunger Games Couple Is Here to Stay?!


Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas HoultFlynet, Pacific Coast News
Dear Ted:
Nicholas Hoult and Jennifer Lawrence are going to break up. It's just a matter of time. In the time they've been together she was nominated for an Oscar and received a role of a lifetime in The Hunger Games; now she is probably swimming in scripts. Meanwhile, two of his movies have been pushed back. The little buzz he had after X-Men is disappearing. It's for the same reason Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth aren't going to last. I bet both couples are over by the time Catching Fire comes out. Love your site!
—Sarah
Dear Negative Nancy:
We couldn't disagree with you more! Sure, both couples are pretty young, but they just sort of work. Miley and Liam have been together for almost three years now—and Liam's career has only grown in that time. As for Jen and Nick? In case you haven't been following all our love for Jen—the girl is so down to earth, which is all the more reason we don't think she needs an A-list boyfriend. We're rooting for both adorable couples—here's hoping the odds are ever in their favor!
Dear Ted:
I was wondering if Rihanna felt any backlash for working with Chris Brown not just from critics but also from fans? I'm sorry to say, I used to be a major fan but now I just don't have the same excitement about her anymore. Do you think she would dare to do it again?

LOS ANGELES: R&B superstar Beyonce gave fans some insight into her private life on Thursday with the relaunch of her website, featuring intimate snapshots of her daily routines the singer has carefully shielded from the public until now.
"This is my life, today, over the years - through my eyes. My family, my travels, my love. This is where I share with you. This will continue to grow as I do," the singer wrote on her new website.
Beyonce.com features a montage of candid shots from the singer's personal life including pictures of her on holiday, with her husband, rapper Jay-Z, and family and during her pregnancy.
One 15-second video shows the singer posing by a blue ivy tree during while pregnant, which perhaps provided the inspiration for her newborn daughter's name, Blue Ivy Carter.
"It's been a long time coming, but I finally have my own place on the web," the singer posted on her Facebook page, where she has 34 million fans.
Beyonce also took the opportunity of launching her new site to tweet her 3.5 million Twitter fans for first time.
The "Single Ladies" singer has kept her private life under wraps in the past, including getting married to Jay-Z in a shroud of secrecy in April 2008 and waiting five months after the event to debut her wedding ring.
But Beyonce, 30 and Jay-Z, 42, who were estimated to be worth $72 million by Forbes in 2011, have been slowly lifting the veil on their luxury life.
The couple released intimate pictures of Blue Ivy through social networking site Tumblr in February, shunning the popular celebrity choice of a lucrative magazine deal.



Jennifer Lopez shows off her toned legs in a hot pink skin tight dress with a VERY daring thigh high split

At 42-years-old, she still possesses a figure which would be the envy of many women half her age.
And Jennifer Lopez ensured she showed it off to the maximum yesterday as she stepped out in a figure hugging pink dress before appearing on last night's American Idol. 
The actress and singer showed off her long toned legs in the slinging number which featured a daring thigh high slit.

The outfit also showed off her toned body and world famous derrière in the floor length near-neon ensemble which she teamed with black high heels.  
Perhaps the actress and singer wore the eye-catching number to snatch attention away from her potential young rivals.
If so, it certainly worked, as she an appearance from Lana Del Rey in a pretty white number was overshadowed by J.Lo's outfit.
However it did not seem she was entirely comfortable in the outfit, as she briefly stopped to adjust the dress while strolling along with an assistant.

Last night's edition of the ratings winning show was as exciting as ever.
Wannabe Erika Van Pelt got the chop on the show, which also featured a guest appearance from Tyler's band buddy Joe Perry.
Erika's elimination came despite her chopping her hair short and dyed it black in a striking transformation on the advice of fashion favourite Tommy Hilfiger.

They were even left blushing when a few female extras in the scene were seen dancing topless. The co-stars flaunted their figures in their usual day-glo bikinis and shorts combinations.
The girls have been filming the movie for the last couple of weeks.

There has also been plenty of flesh on display with the stars mostly in their swimsuits and skimpy outfits.
Vanessa who plays the main character of Candy recently told E! News of her character: 'She's a crazy party girl. She's the one I feel kind of gets everyone going and pushes everyone a little bit.
She added: 'It's all done in the craziest manic way. There's a bit of craziness inside of me as well, so I'm excited to let loose.'

Spending some quality time with her man will have been a welcome respite for the actress, who has been filming her latest project.
Hudgens appears to be the toughest looking character out of the group in the film and has even been seen donning a balaclava to film a crazy heist scene.

katy Perry is so excited about the prospect of a collaboration with BFF Rihanna, she may have put her foot in her mouth discussing the potential project.

Perry weighed in on the forthcoming song (which undoubtedly will be a catchy #1 hit with those two working together), with an apparent dig at Beyonce:
"We've collaborated on things, just not songs yet. It's one of those things that's got so much build-up that we have to deliver," she said on BBC Radio 1.
Katy Perry is BackBeyonce in Concert
"I want it to be like that Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin song 'Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves,' not 'Beautiful Liar.' I definitely want to do something iconic."
Beyonce's 2007 track "Beautiful Liar," featuring Shakira, isn't her best song, but it did reach No. 1 on the iTunes best-seller list and U.S. Hot Singles Sales.
Perry doesn't have a reputation for starting beef with other celebs, so we're guessing she did not mean it as an insult ... even if it sort of reads that way.
Maybe Bey and Katy can collaborate next and bury the hatchet in this non-feud?
In sort of related news, KP sort of embarrassed herself covering "N****s In Paris" by Jay-Z and Kanye West at the same BBC Radio 1 appearance.see more

The teenager had her trim tummy underwraps in a white T-shirt and a grey cardigan.
But as she went to tuck in the attire, she showed off her muscular middle.
The singer and actress also paraded her slim pins in a pair of black leggings worn with flats.
Miley was accompanied by two friends during her outing, and looked happy and content to have a relaxing day just hanging out.
Throughout the day the star took her ride to a car wash and got a bite to eat.
While Miley is in Los Angeles, her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth is in the Big Apple where he continues to promote his upcoming film The Hunger Games, and will tonight attend the New York premiere.

At the Los Angeles premiere of the film last week, Miley gushed about her beau and his impending success as she chatted to E! Online on the red carpet.
When asked what the biggest challenge for Liam was while filming the drama movie, Miley said: ‘I think the hardest part for Liam was being away from me.’
She added: ‘And his brother and his family and all his friends.’
At the event Miley once again showed off her stomach in a stunning glittery black bustier and matching maxi skirt, both by Pucci, but she insisted she wouldn’t be stealing the spotlight from her Australian other half.
She said: ‘He looks way better than me, trust me. He’s got on a beautiful Dolce suit and he just looks so handsome.’

But she admitted she didn’t consult him when it came to her wardrobe choices for the evening.
Miley said: ‘It was the one time I should probably have asked Liam what he wanted me to wear but I was like, no this is amazing, I love this.’
While the hot Hollywood couple may live a glamorous lifestyle, Miley confessed that their free time is fairly relaxed.
She told interviewers: ‘We have three dogs, so that takes up most of our time. The only time we leave the house is to go to the pet store or take them to the park.’
Miley was also interviewed by Yahoo Movies as she walked the red carpet at the star-studded event.

And as she showed off her sexy outfit for the cameras, including her sky high Christian Louboutin shoes, the former Hannah Montana star sweetly said: ‘They’re my highest ones. They’re my Liam shoes.’
She was clearly thrilled for her beau’s success when she said:  ‘I think it’s just so amazing to have all these fans out here and see how excited they are for him and how excited I am for him.’
She added that she had given him some advice about the fame game as she said: ‘I’m really excited. I think just to always remember who was there for you before any of this mattered, I think that is really important.’

Miley and Liam began dating after meeting on the set of The Last Song back in 2009.
After striking up a relationship, Cyrus described him as her first serious boyfriend. They split for the first time in August 2010.
Just a month later they were back together, but parted ways again a few weeks later before rekindling their romance earlier this year.
