On Gear Live: Xiaomi 17 Review: The Compact Flagship That Forgot to Act Small

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosting the Golden GlobesAmy Poehler has apologized to Taylor Swift for mocking her love life. The Parks And Recreation star insists she and good pal Tina Fey didn't mean to upset the country singer, who is renowned for dating a string of Hollywood stars, by warning her to "stay away from Michael J. Fox's son" and advised her to take "some me time" while presenting the Golden Globes in January after Taylor said she is going to "hell" for the comments.

"Aw, I feel bad if she was upset. I am a feminist, and she is a young and talented girl. That being said, I do agree I am going to hell. But for other reasons. Mostly boring tax stuff," the 41-year-old comedian told The Hollywood Reporter.

In a new interview with Vanity Fair magazine, the 23-year-old singer admitted she wasn't impressed with the jokes at her expense: "You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people, because she said to me she had heard a quote that she loved, that said, 'There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women.'"

Amanda Setton and Adam Levine

Adam Levine is dating former Gossip Girl star Amanda Setton. The 33-year-old Maroon 5 frontman - who split from Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo recently - has reportedly fallen head-over-heels for the 27-year-old actress after meeting her through mutual friends, who say they "instantly clicked."

A friend close to the couple told gossip website RadarOnline.com, "Adam and Amanda have just started dating each other, and it's still early days. They met around a month ago through mutual friends and instantly hit it off, and they have gone on several dates since. Unfortunately, Adam's reputation with the ladies precedes him. He doesn't seem to go often without having a glamorous supermodel on his arm - so there's a worry Adam could be playing Amanda. We'll just have to wait and see. At the moment, they've just started seeing each other - we'll soon know if it's serious or not."

Taylor SwiftThough the tabloids have pounced on every shred of a news involving Taylor Swift's current dating status for years now, the 23 year-old singer has broken her silence to set the record straight.

"You know, if you want some big revelation, since 2010 I have dated exactly two people," Swift claimed in a recent interview with Vanity Fair. "The fact that there are slideshows of a dozen guys that I either hugged on a red carpet or met for lunch or wrote a song with ... it's just kind of ridiculous."

When the question of her supposed involvements with stars like Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Taylor Lautner were brought up, the country popstar had even more to say:

"For a female to write about her feelings, and then be portrayed as some clingy, insane, desperate girlfriend in need of making you marry her and have kids with her, I think that's taking something that potentially should be celebrated – a woman writing about her feelings in a confessional way – that's taking it and turning it and twisting it into something that is frankly a little sexist."

Katherine JacksonKatherine Jackson's civil lawsuit against AEG Live will go to trial.

Katherine wants the concert promoter to face action as she says they were responsible for hiring Doctor Conrad Murray to care for her son Michael Jackson prior to his death from acute Propofol intoxication in 2009.

And while Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos dismissed all but one claim in Katherine's lawsuit, her allegation AEG negligently hired and supervised Dr. Murray while he cared for her son will go to trial. The ruling dismissed claims AEG could be held liable for Murray's conduct and breached its duty to properly care for the pop superstar.

The trial will start on April 2.

AEG Live was promoting Michael's This Is It comeback concerts at The O2 arena in London, but the "Thriller" hitmaker died in June 2009, aged 50, while in final preparations for the shows after Murray administered a lethal dose of the anaesthetic Propofol in Michael's bedroom.

RihannaRihanna has hired extra security to protect her. The "Stay" singer - who obtained a restraining order against an obsessed fan last week after he broke into her neighbor's home, which he mistook for the 25-year-old popstar's property - was spotted with five new bodyguards while leaving a Los Angeles nightclub on Saturday.

According to gossip website X17.com, the star was flanked by the burly men as she enjoyed a girls' night out at Playhouse without her boyfriend Chris Brown.

Her beefed up security team comes after she was assaulted upon leaving a London nightclub last month and forced to seek medical attention.
The singer was targeted in an unprovoked attack by a man, who hurled a bottle of Lucozade at her, while she was leaving exclusive nightclub The Box with her model pal Cara Delevingne. The force of the glass bottle caused the Barbados native to fall and cut open her knee. Her bodyguard's leg was also said to have been injured as he attempted to catch her attacker, who allegedly shouted something about her boyfriend Chris before throwing the bottle at her.

Tre Cool, Billie Joe Armstrong, and Mike Dirnt of Green Day

Billie Joe Armstrong's bandmate wasn't surprised by his public meltdown last year that led to him going to rehab for 30 days. Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt has revealed the group ignored warning signs that the 41-year-old "Basket Case" singer was struggling to cope with his addictions to alcohol and drugs because they were too busy.

"We all turned a blind eye to it - 'Everyone, deal with your own s**t.' Because we were working so hard," he told Rolling Stone.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye WestKanye West reportedly doesn't want Kim Kardashian to pose for a nude pregnancy photo shoot. Although the reality TV star - who is due to give birth to her first daughter with Kayne in July - is apparently keen to recreate Demi Moore's iconic Vanity Fair cover shot, her partner wants some things to be kept private.

"It's something Kim has wanted to do for years. She thinks it would be really classy - something she could keep as a souvenir forever. But Kanye believes some things should be kept private. And he has made it clear to Kim in no uncertain terms that he doesn't want her posing nude and showing off her baby bump to the world," a source said.

The 35-year-old rapper is said to want his 32-year-old partner to be "less publicity hungry" and step out of the limelight as he looks to build his dream family. "She knows it may be her last chance of being on the cover of some of those magazines, which normally turn their nose up at her. But Kanye wants her to become more respectful and less publicity-hungry. He has dreams of the kids going to the finest schools and universities. He's come up from humble beginnings and he sees this as opportunity to build a dynasty," the insider added.

Kim Kardashian showing off her baby bumpKanye West and Kim Kardashian are expecting a baby girl.

The reality TV star - who is pregnant with the couple's first child and due to give birth in early July - is said to be "over the moon" after doctor's confirmed they are having a daughter at her latest ultrasound scan. A source close to the 32-year-old beauty told USMagazine.com, "They're over the moon! Kanye always wanted a girl."

The couple, who began dating in April 2012, announced they were expecting their first child in December. The Kourtney & Kim Take Miami star previously refused to say whether she would prefer to have a boy or a girl, insisting she only wanted the baby to be "healthy." But she recently revealed that being pregnant hasn't had too much affect on her busy schedule or her diet. "I used to always say I can't wait to get pregnant because I will just eat whatever I want, but it's completely different. I'm like, OK, I want to eat as healthy as possible," she said.

"I sleep amazing, it's like the best sleep ever. I'm a really easy sleeper though, you can put me on the couch with all these people in the room and say, 'You've got 10 minutes,' and I'll take an eight-minute nap," she admitted.
