Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga at the VMAs

Lady Gaga is the latest star to defend Miley Cyrus after her appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards. The "Applause" singer also took to the stage at the annual event and insisted those criticizing the "We Can't Stop" singer's controversial performance should "lighten up" and understand what pop music is all about.

"I don't like to pass judgement on Miley Cyrus. Generally, people need to lighten up about pop music, it's about entertainment. It is here to make you smile and make you happy. Especially in America there is an excessive dragging of female artists and I don't want to contribute to that. I do things that are polarizing sometimes but that's what it's all about," she said.

North West

Kanye West has revealed the first picture of his daughter. During an appearance on his girlfriend Kim Kardashian's mother's chat show, he showed a photograph of North, who was born two months ago, explaining to Kris Jenner that they didn't want to sell the first pictures and he thought Kris' show was the perfect place to introduce her.

"It's all this talk about baby pictures and 'can you get paid for the baby picture or do you want to put it on a magazine.' And for me and your daughter we have not attempted to get paid for anything, we have not attempted to put it on a magazine. You just stop all of the noise and I thought it would be really cool on her grandmother's season finale to bring a picture of North," he said.

Chris Brown in courtChris Brown has branded the District Attorney in his court case a racist.

The R&B star took to Twitter last night after he was sentenced to 1,000 extra hours of community service earlier this month for submitting bogus reports for the 1,440 hours he was originally ordered to complete for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. "N***a done 6 months community service wit police and the DA racist ass crying to the judge that I didn't do it. F**k the SYSTEM! (sic)" Chris raged on the social networking site.

The 24-year-old hot-head went on to slam the American justice system for wasting so much time on his case when there are so many more pressing matters to solve: "How about y'all take care of all the homeless kids and families on skid row. Promote helping people that are really f***ed up in your city!"

Chris concluded, "Family first! The LAW ... last (sic)," before referring to his latest addition to his graffiti-sprayed car collection, quipping, "I paint pics of monsters because its a reflection of u bitcha*s n***as and this bitchass system! (sic)"

Kanye WestKanye West went shopping for wedding rings on Friday.

The "New Slaves" hitmaker, whose girlfriend Kim Kardashian gave birth to their first child, daughter North West, in June, was spotted looking at diamond-encrusted jewelry for their upcoming wedding at Cartier in Beverly Hills.

"Kanye was looking really carefully at wedding bands, like he was making a big decision. And by big, I mean, BIG -- the stuff he was looking at was the most expensive, biggest diamonds in the whole store," a source told TMZ.

The 36-year-old rapper left the store empty-handed despite handing over his credit card at the counter and it is believed he ordered a custom-made piece for the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, 32, who was married twice before.

A source previously revealed that the couple, who were spotted out together in public for the first time with their two-month-old daughter this week, are in the final stages of planning their big day, which is tipped to take place in Paris. "He wants something really cool and big and over-the-top. They'll most likely have a destination wedding. Kanye has never been married before and wants a big wedding. So Kim is getting used to the idea again," the insider added.

Fergie and Josh DuhamelFergie has officially changed her name.

The Black Eyes Peas singer, who is heavily pregnant with her first child with her actor husband Josh Duhamel, filed documents in Los Angeles last month requesting to change her name from Stacy Ann Ferguson to Fergie Duhamel and TMZ reports it became official today.

The 38-year-old star, who has been married for more than four years, revealed she wanted to change her name in order to "conform to the first name which she is commonly and professionally known as, and has been for many years." In order for the court to grant her request, the singer had to publish a notice about her new name in a local newspaper for four consecutive weeks.

Meanwhile, Fergie's husband recently revealed he can't wait to be a father:

Kanye West and Kim KardashianIn a not-so-surprising turn of events, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are rumored to be following in the footsteps of their besties Jay-Z and Beyonce.

The new parents of one are rumored to be ditching the lucrative deals thrown at them by the likes of Vanity Fair so that they can post photos of their firstborn, North, through a social media site.

Whether it's because West doesn't want to "pimp out" his child (as UsMagazine reports he said) or because Kimye wants so hard to be like beloved power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce, it's unfair that the supposed $4 million offered to them for North's photos will no longer go towards a charity, as momager Kim Jenner previously stated it would.

I guess we'll just have to keep our eyes peeled and glued to Kanye's and Kim's Twitter accounts to find out their final decision.

Kevin Federline and Victoria PrinceBritney Spears' ex-husband married his long-term girlfriend on Saturday night.

The "Scream & Shout" hitmaker's former spouse Kevin Federline, with whom she has two sons, Sean Preston, seven, and Jayden James, six, tied the knot in a low-key ceremony, just one day after popping the question to Victoria Prince in Las Vegas on Friday night. Clark County Records granted the couple, who began dating in 2008 and whose daughter Jordan Kay is set to turn two next week, a marriage license shortly after they got engaged and a source confirmed to UsMagazine.com that Kevin is now married to the special education teacher.

"Kevin told her he was going to Vegas for a job, but he surprised her by proposing and [then plans on] marrying her while they are there. Victoria really wanted this for a long time so she's gotta be blown away. She's proven herself with him from day one. Victoria is an awesome girl," a source said.

Jack White and Karen ElsonJack White has hit back at his estranged wife after she was granted a restraining order against him.

The former White Stripes' rocker's spouse Karen Elson - who separated from Jack in 2011 and filed for divorce in 2012 - claims she fears her famous husband is dangerous and may cause her harm following disagreements over parenting rights, but Jack insists she is lying.

In documents filed in response to Karen's restraining order, and obtained by TMZ, Jack claims Karen recently told a friend, "I'm completely in love with Jack and I'd move back tomorrow if he asked me." While the 34-year-old model claims Jack, 38, is not fit to be a parent and has rebuffed his requests to help raise their two kids - Scarlett, seven, and five-year-old Henry - resulting in him becoming increasingly hostile towards her, he insists she often leaves the children with him.
