Scott Thorson and Michael Jackson

Liberace's lover Scott Thorson claims he had a "six or seven" year romance with Michael Jackson.

The 54-year-old former partner of the legendary pianist has alleged he grew close to the "Billy Jean" hitmaker and described him as generous: "Liberace introduced me and Michael in the late 1970s. It was right around the time 'Thriller' was coming out and Michael and I became lovers. Our relationship went on for six or seven years. Michael was very generous too. He treated me well."

Chris Brown and RihannaChris Brown dumped Rihanna because she was too dramatic.

The "Fine China" hitmaker - who is still on probation for beating Rihanna up in 2009 - reportedly called time on his relationship with her and got back together with his ex Karrueche Tran because he was sick of the drama with Rihanna, 25.

"Karrueche isn't all hype and crazy like Rihanna and that's probably why Chris chose her in the end. She's drama free and real and she's a good girl," a source said.

Chris, 24, also prefers Karrueche because she isn't jealous when he talks to other women. "She loves him and she was even cool with him being with Rihanna while they just kept their relationship on a business level. She was fine with that but in the end, Chris came back to her. She didn't force a thing. Karrueche isn't upset with Chris! Not in the least. She's out in New York having fun and enjoying him, the city and the nightlife. She knows how many girls want to be next to Chris. In the beginning, when she first met him, she was taken back by all the crazy attention girls gave him, but now she's used to it. They're just a bunch of groupies who don't hold a candle to her," the source added.

Jon Bon Jovi and Justin BieberJon Bon Jovi thinks that Justin Bieber should be left to make his own mistakes.

The "Livin' On a Prayer" singer knows how hard growing up in the spotlight can be, but doesn't think young stars such as Justin - who has displayed erratic behaviour of late, upsetting his neighbors and being caught smoking marijuana - needs a "lecture" from him.

"Having lived it myself, there's lots I could say to One Direction or Justin Bieber - to any young band at a crossroads, kids who are not even 20 years old and have the whole world looking at them, and are scared because they don't know any better. But you can't give them a lecture. They have to learn it their own way and find their own path. The only thing you can tell young guys like that is that it's going to be OK."

Jon - leader of rockers Bon Jovi, who started their career in 1983 - also says the music industry nearly got too much even for him at one point and he thought about giving it up.

Justin Bieber and Kid RockKid Rock believes that Justin Bieber will go off the rails.

The 42-year-old musician - whose real name is Robert James Ritchie - says fame will eventually take its toll on the 19-year-old singer and he will embrace the darker side of celebrity. "It's just a matter of time before someone puts a huge line of cocaine in front of Bieber and he's going to be like, 'Yes! This is f**king awesome!'" he said.

The rocker also spoke out about Britney Spears, admitting he felt sorry for the "Toxic" hitmaker: "Poor girl. Turned into a space cadet. That dead stare, just f**king like someone stole her soul... "

Kid isn't the only star who is worried about Justin, Channing Tatum recently revealed he thinks the "Baby" hitmaker - who was discovered at the age of 14 - found fame too young and hopes he doesn't go off the rails like many child stars do: "I do believe that whatever age you become famous, you end up staying that age. I worry about Bieber, man. That kid's wildly talented. I hope he doesn't fall down into the usual ways of young kids because it' so hard for someone to be responsible when they're not asked to be. We're not asked to do things ourselves."

Kanye West and Kim KardashianKim Kardashian may have won the baby shower battle, but it looks as though her baby daddy Kanye West won't be around to see her give birth to their first child.

A source close to the couple have revealed that the rapper won't be present at the hospital when the reality star brings their daughter into the world, on account of him being too squeamish. “He won’t be in the delivery room. Kanye’s very squeamish and doesn’t want to be around blood and pass out. This is Kim’s worst nightmare," said the source.

Considering that the high-profile pair haven't even been with each other for the duration of her pregnancy, it's not all that surprising that the "New Slaves" hitmaker won't be there to see his first kid be born. Or perhaps he just knows that he just might pass out and doesn't want the Keeping Up with the Kardashians crew to film it (he does, after all, kind of hates that show).

Russell BrandRussell Brand was always faithful to Katy Perry.

The comedian insists he never cheated on the singer - whom he split from in December 2011 after 14 months of marriage and divorced in 2012 - even though the former sex addict struggled with the idea of committing to one person for the rest of his life.

"When I'm in a relationship I'm diligently monogamous and stick to the principles agreed on within that relationship. You've got to. I tried it [marriage] and I loved it. I really think she's a lovely beautiful person. It's just hard isn't it? She's got a lot of options, I've got a lot of options, so you've got to really, really want it."

Russell, 38, and Katy, 28, hardly spent any time together in the first few months of their married life as Katy jetted off on her mammoth California Dreams world tour soon after the ceremony. Nevertheless, the British actor doesn't just blame their work schedules or long-distance nature of their union for the breakdown of their relationship and admits he found it difficult to prioritize her needs.

Bobbi Kristina BrownWhitney Houston's daughter has been evicted from her apartment in Alpharetta, Georgia.

Bobbi Kristina Brown - whose father is singer Bobby Brown - was asked to vacate the building following a series of noise complaints against her from neighbor Joshua Morse and his wife and the aspiring singer was so furious, she left an angry note for them.

According to TMZ, the note reads, "Thanks, you are s**t at the bottom of our shoe. Thank You for making a hard year harder. You are a miserable couple and always will be. You were honored to have us living above you and you couldn't stand such a young beautiful couple far more successful than you ever will be. I pray your misery doesn't rub off on your innocent little baby (sic)."

It is believed Bobbi Kristina was living at the apartment with her on/off boyfriend Nick Gordon. Mr. Morse then reported the note to the Alpharetta Police Department to have the incident documented "due to the ongoing issues he has been having with the couple."
