Drake made a fan’s lucky day when he joined her on stage to sing karaoke to one of his songs. The fan uploaded the video to YouTube of her singing “What’s My Name?” with Drake. It all went down at the Saddle Ranch.

“Excuse my voice but I was kinda nervous. Lol,” YouTube user Dee wrote below the video.

How do you think she did? And whose that assh*le yelling in the background?

Lil Wayne was a big fan of Nirvana when growing up.

“I was a real big fan of that,” Weezy told MTV News’ Sway after his MTV “Unplugged” taping earlier this year.

“Because I was young and I actually listened to the lyrics, and I probably felt at that time that I was rebelling and I could associate myself with that and relate to the things [Cobain] was talking about and speaking about in the song,” Tunechi remembered. “I probably couldn’t, but I thought I could.”

Russell Simmons spoke with Hollywoodlife.com where he said how Justin Bieber is a down to earth guy.

“Justin is a very down-to-earth and gracious kid,” Russell told Hollywoodlife at the premiere hosted Cinema Society with Dior Homme & GQ. “He hangs out with Diggy [his brother Rev. Run's 16-year-old son] a lot so he comes to my house. He’s very nice, same way he is, he’s great. He’s an example, an inspiration because a lot of kids can look at him because he is still grounded and he doesn’t seem to be affected in any way and it’s really up to you to be affected or not, he’s a gracious good kid.”

This is just another example of some important people backing the Biebs.

It turns out that Amy Winehouse was inspired to get into music by the band Hanson.

Isaac Hanson, the oldest of the brothers, only learned this recently and was touched by the news.

He tells WENN, ”It is tragic to see people not be able to fully deal with that inner turmoil, which unfortunately, most artists, including myself, have. You have this tortured element within you and you’re throwing yourself out there emotionally.

“God rest her soul. I feel so bad for her that she was not able to reconcile whatever was going on inside her… It sounds like there were so many lovely, lovely elements of who she was and unfortunately there were some darker elements that clearly got the better of her.

“I didn’t know that she was a fan.”

We can’t say we are surprised – Britney Spears is pretty awesome at lap dances. To demonstrate her skills, Britney took to the stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles to strut her stuff.

Britney was playing the Staples Center to promote her new album. During the performance of “Leather and Lace,” Spears performed a lap dance for one lucky fan.

Not bad for a Mom in her thirties. We of course love Britney’s performance, but we are more humored by the reaction of the lucky fan.

Lady Gaga Fan Resuscitated After Heart Stops Mid-Concert

Showstopper Lady Gaga stopped a fan’s heart on Tuesday night.

Literally.

CNN reports that on Tuesday night, two of the artists little monsters, Crystal Thornton and best friend Christina Tugman, headed off excitedly to Gaga’s Monster Ball in Nashville, Tennessee. They had only experienced part of the opening act before Thornton, 33, suffered a seizure that resulted in her heart literally stopping.

“She stopped breathing, her eyes rolled back in her head, and her body started twitching,” Tugman said. “I was asking if she was OK, and she wasn’t responding.”

Us Magazine reports that Tugman ran out to the venue’s lobby to find help, and within a minute, an EMT had reached Thornton, who was “unconscious with no heartbeat.”

Equipped with a portable automated external defibrillator, paramedics on the scene tried resuscitating Thornton for more than five minutes, before her heart began beating again.

After being immediately rushed to the hospital, by Friday, Thornton was in stable condition, though the cause of her frightening seizure was cited as an undetectable genetic condition.

Though I would probably be a little more worried about this ‘undetectable genetic condition’ causing me to have heart-stopping seizures, Thornton was more concerned about missing the much-anticipated Monster Ball.

“I am so mad I missed the concert,” she said.

Lady Gaga has always made it a point to show her fans love, so who knows? Maybe she’ll help this little monster out with tickets to another show.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Bathroom Pix!

An overzealous Jake Gyllenhaal fan crossed a line at SXSW yesterday when he snapped a picture of the star…in the bathroom!

In what TMZ is calling a “major guy code violation,” the fan snapped a pic of Jake while he was…erm…using the facilities during a screening of his new movie “Source Code.” Jake calmly talked to the fan about the inappropriateness of the incident.

Peaceful conflict resolution! So hot right now!

The picture was eventually deleted, so if you’ve ever wanted to see some “sexy” urinal shots of Jake in action, you’ll have to wait for the next creepy fan to come along. Sorry!

Looks like Selena Gomez isn’t the only teenybopper that can look forward to a full mailbox of death threats!

16-year-old heartthrob Justin Bieber was snapped making out with a female fan in Toronto a few months ago and the pictures are finally out. Apparently a tween watched the Biebs make out with her BFF and managed to catch the moment on her camera!

“Justin and my friend Michelle kissed behind the Four Seasons Hotel downtown a few months ago while he was in town for a concert,” the amateur photog said. “I didn’t feel right about releasing it before, but now it’s fine cuz it’s been a while.”

Ouch! Getting the cold bite of rejection from Justin Bieber is sucky enough, but to watch him make out with your best friend?! Girl’s gonna need HELLA therapy!

Leonardo DiCaprio told the stars of MTV reality show Jersey Shore that he’s a fan of the series, which follows the lives of eight young adults of Italian-American descent as they live together in a house in New Jersey, reports E! News. He ran into the group at a Vida launch party held at Voyeur in West Hollywood.

“I was hanging out in Leonardo DiCaprio’s VIP area,” said Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino. “He came up to me and said, ‘Vinny, you’re a good Italian kid.’ I guess he saw the episode where my family comes. They were all saying I’m a good kid, level-headed, have a good family and stuff like that. He was trying to give me some advice about riding the wave and not letting things get to me. I’ve never been to L.A. before, so this is pretty crazy. It was my first club experience last night, so it was wild.”

Jenni “JWoww” Farley was the only housemate not present at the party. Even Angelina “Jolie” Pivarnick, who was evicted in episode three made it out to party with her former roommates.

The finale of Jersey Shore will air Jan. 21 on MTV, followed by a one-hour reunion special.

Michael Jackson Fan Hacks Iranian President’s Website

This is absolutely hilarious! MTV is reporting that on Monday an Iranian dissident hacked Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s website, and then posted a message addressed to God.

“Dear God, in 2009 you took my favorite singer — Michael Jackson, my favorite actress — Farrah Fawcett, my favorite actor — Patrick Swayze, my favorite voice — Neda [a reference to Neda Agha-Soltan, an Iranian who was killed during last year's protests of the country's presidential election],” the message read. “Please, please, don’t forget my favorite politician — Ahmadinejad, and my favorite dictator — [Iranian cleric Ali] Khamenei in the year 2010. Thank you.”

Unfortunately the website is currently offline so you can’t see this for yourself. The Internet continues to be heavily monitored by Iranian officials as they created an Internet ban during last year’s Iranian Presidential election.

However in an interview with a LA Morning show, James Cameron explains that he will sign an autograph for any fan. See below for the video:

It seems that Amy Winehouse made a triumphant return to England after vacationing in the Caribbean and getting rehabilitated and rested, away from her crazy and chaotic lifestyle that left her unhealthy and sinking into a downward spiral.

Yet it seems that she didn’t escape all of the bad news and troublesome past behaviors as she has been slapped with assault charges after allegedly physically assaulting a fan. The incident was said to have taken place on September 26th when Winehouse was performing at the London’s charitable and posh End of Summer Ball, according to eonline.com.

The fan stated that Winehouse punched her in the eye after she approached her to take a picture. Winehouse is slated to appear in court to face the charge on March, 17th.
“Amy voluntarily attended a police station in London yesterday morning,” the singer’s rep said. “She was questioned by appointment in relation to an accusation made after the Berkeley ball last year.”
