The stylish Victoria Beckham has a "posh" new hairstyle.
The pop star-turned-designer spiced things up, so to speak, when she replaced her below-the-shoulder locks with a chin-length 'do in a pic posted to Twitter on Tuesday. (It's not clear if Beckham, 39, has committed to a new cut, or if she's only removed extensions.)
"Loving the hair! Thank u Tina Outen," Beckham tweeted, referring to her stylist.
Beckham's change in tresses confirms that the long bob is the celeb hairstyle of the day. Christina Hendricks, Jennifer Lawrence, Julianne Hough, and Nikki Reed have all sported the look lately.

How Lindsay Lohan Is Spending Her Time Before Entering Rehab

Lindsay Lohan (Splash News)Lindsay Lohan (Splash News)Lindsay Lohan should really think about taking the subway.

The rehab-bound actress was photographed picking up her Porsche Panamera after it was towed in Brooklyn, New York, over the weekend and then taken to the police impound yard after it was illegally parked.
Maybe she lost track of time partying?
Lohan, who is expected to begin court-ordered rehab for 90-days on May 2, is spending her time club hopping in New York City (naturally). The "Mean Girls" star was spotted partying at 1OAK in Chelsea while her car was getting towed.
As for Lohan's looming rehab stint, it's still unclear as to where the 26-year-old actress will be going exactly.
The New York Post reports that on Thursday, Lohan will check into rehab at the Seafield Center in Westhampton Beach, New York. However, E! News reported that as of Friday, Lohan still had not picked a location, so she has left it up to her attorney Mark Heller. Lohan was supposedly eyeing the super luxurious Caribbean island facility Crossroads Antigua, where a three-month stay costs around $70,000.
With a little less than three days to go, Lohan should probably focus on getting her life in order rather than clubbing and dishing out money at the impound. Just a suggestion.

Military Dad Makes Daughter's Prom Dress: It's Camo

This is the cutest thing you'll read all day.

When David Herron's daughter couldn't find the prom dress of her dreams, he did what any resourceful dad would do: He sat down and made her one from scratch.

The Marshfield, Wisconsin native's teen daughter Mariah had been frustrated because she couldn't find an affordable dress made from camouflage fabric. “I jokingly asked my dad if he could make me a prom dress. When he said yes, I was surprised,” Mariah told the Marshfield News-Herald. 

A former military man, Herron had learned how to sew his stripes and hem his own uniforms. But making a prom dress? Totally new territory. “I’m pretty good with straight seams and about two years ago, my wife gave me a sewing machine. I’ve made some quilts and pillows, but this dress was something else,” he said.

Neither father nor daughter could be reached for comment but Mariah told the paper, “My dad is pretty good at making things, but making a dress — that’s different,” she said.

Although David did the work, he credits the fabric store for motivating him. “Mariah and I went to Hancock Fabrics and started looking at fabric and patterns. If it hadn’t been for the ladies that work there, we would have walked out and that would have been the end of this."

“They showed us the fabric and we talked about patterns. Then we got started,” he said.

At home, Herron turned the family room into a sewing shop. One table served as the fabric station, another for the sewing machine. And he logged in hours studying the camo fabric and sewing instructions.

The result: A strapless, black satin gown made from Snow White Camouflage fabric with a white underlayer and covered with black tulle. The top of the dress is lined with a thin black ruffle and a black satin bow is fastened to the back of the dress. The waist is lined with shotgun shells. Herron topped off the look with brown and white boots which he bought for his daughter.

Eight weeks later, Mariah debuted her winter white camo dress to attend the Marshfield High School Junior Prom. “I think she likes it. She asked me if I’d make her wedding dress,” Herron said and smiled.

Is Selena Gomez Back With Justin Bieber Just in Time to Boost Both’s Careers?

It’s too early to tell if the romantic reconnection between Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez will transport the couple back into a lucrative Disney-like love story and help repair their public profiles, or if the two are destined to end up more like Sid and Nancy. But one thing’s clear: As they both grow further into early adulthood, they continue to stray from their squeaky-clean teen-pop pasts.

Last month, Gomez promoted her first adult role in the controversial Harmony Korine film Spring Breakers by posing for a gazillion photos in a revealing bikini. And now Gomez has posted a teaser for her new video "Come and Get It," in which she’s let down her hair and, uh, removed practically everything else as well.
In the 37-second-long clip, Gomez is depicted swimming Blue Lagoon-style in the ocean, dancing around a fire in a see-through red dress, nuzzling up to a man’s bare chest, and traipsing through a fiend of flowers in a flowing beige dress.
"Music video for Come and Get It coming to you guys really soon," tweeted Gomez, along with a revealing photo from the shoot of her shoulder-deep in the water, eyes closed, mouth slightly open, as if fantasizing about Bieber.
The music video will premiere May 7 at 7:53pm on MTV. Gomez debuted audio for "Come and Get It" live April 14 on the MTV Movie Awards. The racy song features the lyrics: "You ain’t gotta worry, it’s an open invitation/I’ll be sittin’ right here real patient/All day all night I’ll be waitin’ standby/Can’t stop because I love it, hate the way I love you."
Gomez has denied that the song’s about Bieber, but lyrics like "This love ain’t finished yet, so baby whenever" suggest otherwise. Bieber and Gomez have reportedly been on-agan, off-again as a couple since they broke up in November 2012. In January 2013, they were apparently over. Then Bieber started posting revealing photos of the couple together on his Instagram account, one of Gomez holding his bare back while he typed on his computer. The caption read, "Been makin music for too long babe come cuddle."
Not all of Gomez’s friends are happy that the couple is back together. "We did everything we could to keep them apart but he was so persistent,” a source reportedly Hollywoodlife.com. "It’s really unhealthy they have such a turbulent relationship at such a young age. He leaves her in floods of tears constantly. She has had a really difficult year or so dealing with the tense emotions that come with dating him. We thought she had finally broken free."
During the time the couple was broken up, Bieber seemed to unravel. He was accused of spitting on a neighbor, wrote a comment in the guest book at the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam that some found offensive, fainted at a London concert, threatened a paparazzo, and narrowly escaped arrest in Stockholm because the police couldn’t trace the marijuana and stun gun they found on his bus back to him.
"If Bieber’s erratic behavior continues, it could take a toll on his bottom line,” reported Dorothy Pomerantz of Forbes.com. "While fans will likely keep buying his music, his merchandise sales could suffer. And corporations might not want to be associated with him if he can’t maintain his brand image."
Interestingly, Gomez has reconnected with Bieber at a time when she’s ramping up to release her first solo album, scheduled for release this summer. The album coincide with a tour, which launches August 14 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and runs through November 17 in Kansas City.

Chris Brown “Can’t Win” With Rihanna

Chris Brown, Rihanna (Christopher Polk/Getty Images for NARAS)Sometimes you can almost feel bad for Chris Brown. It seems that Breezy is telegraphing his relationship status with Rihanna these days. A day after photos of RiRi getting close-and-personal with a fan in New York City popped up on Twitter and Instagram, Breezy dropped a new breakup ballad called "I Can't Win." He also revealed that his new album, X, will drop on July 16, but that song's not on it.

In a tweet late Monday night, Breezy revealed the new track, but he clarified, "Some s--- I felt like writing that's not on the album." The track includes the chorus, "She ain't bluffing/She gonna do it/I think it's time for me to face the music." Later he croons, "Going back and forth with the lies/Never compromise/Girl, if you love me better prove it/Baby, I can't win."
And who is the girl in question? Our bet is that it's RiRi. After those photos of her macking on fanboy Justin LaBoy appeared on the Web, our boy Breezy took to Twitter posting his thoughts. "S** is overrated now a days. Just remember to keep ya muthaf***in head up." He then he unfollowed RiRi, jumped back on his exes Karrueche Tran's account and posted a link to his video for "Home."

Pink: ‘I’m a Reformed Slut’

Ellen von Unwerth/Glamour

Songstress Pink has always seemed like a pretty tell-it-like-it-is kind of gal, but in a new interview with Glamour magazine she goes a step further, explaining why she chose to include tunes like “Slut Like You” and “Walk of Shame” on her most recent album, 2012’s “The Truth About Love.”
"Oh, yeah. I'm a reformed slut," she says in the magazine's May issue, explaining, "It's my very unsophisticated way of taking the power back. I've always had an issue with [the idea that] 'OK, we've both decided to do this. Why am I a slut and you're the player? You didn't get anything from me that I didn't get from you.'"


The pop star reveals a much more benign tidbit in the article: She once was the object of a certain boy bander's affection back when she opened for *NSYNC during the group's summer 2000 concert tour. "Joey Fatone was in love with me," Pink insists. "He took me to Friendly's on a date, and he bought me an ice cream. Such a sweetheart. He asked my dad's permission."


These days, Pink may be “settled down” with a husband, Motocross racer Carey Hart, and a daughter, 2-year-old Willow, but don't look to the 33-year-old for the usual gushing-over-my-spouse quotes that so many celebs constantly spew. When asked if it's hard to accept that things are finally "good" between her and Hart, considering the couple has been through multiple breakups, including a marital separation, she's quick to point out that they still argue … and that commitment isn't easy.
"Are things ever good? I don't believe that exists," the "Raise Your Glass" singer admits. "Long-term relationships are an everyday choice. It's harder to be in a marriage than it is to bounce from one relationship to the next. We're good because we communicate and we've grown up together, not because we don't fight."

While most of her interview sounds very different from that of your typical famous female, Pink’s got one thing in common with the Jennifer Garners and Hilary Duffs of the world: her insistence on how motherhood has changed her. (Though the way she explains it is a little different from how the aforementioned ladies probably would).
"Somebody asked Carey how I've changed since I had Willow, and he said my claws have sharpened. They got longer too," Pink explains, sharing a story about how little Willow once fell and wound up with concussion, which, in turn, nearly gave her mom a heart attack.

"Welcome to parenthood. I thought, I can't handle this, I'm fitting her for a bubble," she reveals. "Every time she bounces on the bed, I see stitches. Being a parent is a Jedi mind f**k. It's also the raddest thing ever."
But what about the swearing? Has she toned it down since becoming a mom? Pink says she's trying, but it sounds like she has a way to go. "Willow said, 'F**kin' hi,' the other day. I'm like, 'F**k!'"

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Jackson's struggle against drug addiction was on display Monday during opening statements in his mother's wrongful death case against concert promoter AEG Live.

Competing portraits of Jackson emerged during the first hours of the trial, with Katherine Jackson's attorney acknowledging the pop star's drug problems while also trying to show he was a caring son and father.
"His stirring voice, his musical genius, his creativity and his generosity and his huge heart was extinguished forever," her lawyer, Brian Panish, said in his opening remarks.
AEG's attorney, Marvin S. Putnam, said that while Jackson's death was tragic, his guarded private life meant the company was unaware that he was using the powerful anesthetic propofol.
"The truth is, Michael Jackson fooled everyone," Putnam said. "He made sure that no one — nobody — knew his deepest, darkest secrets."
A jury of six men and six women will determine whether AEG should pay Jackson's mother and three children for their losses after his 2009 death from an overdose of propofol. Millions and possibly billions of dollars in damages are at stake in the case that opened with private photos of the singer with his children and video clips of Jackson dancing.
"This case is about personal choices," Putnam said about Jackson's decision to be treated by physician Conrad Murray. "Also, it was about his personal responsibility. There's no question that Michael Jackson's death was a terrible tragedy.
"I believe the evidence will show it was not a tragedy of AEG Live's making," Putnam said as he ended his opening statement. Testimony will begin Tuesday.
Panish said AEG created a conflict of interest for Murray and forced him to choose between a large payday and Jackson's care. He told the jury AEG was feeling competitive pressures and wanted the Jackson tour to work at all costs.
"They didn't care who got lost in the wash," Panish told the jury.
Panish played a song that Jackson wrote for his three children, "You Are My Life," and displayed a note the singer had written for his mother that brought tears to her eyes as she sat in court.
Katherine Jackson sued AEG Live in September 2010, claiming it failed to properly investigate Murray before allowing him to serve as Jackson's doctor as he prepared for his "This Is It" shows. She is also suing on behalf of her son's three children — Prince, Paris and Blanket.
AEG denies it hired Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death. AEG's attorneys have said the company could not have foreseen the circumstances that led to the singer's death at age 50.
Panish told jurors that AEG executives ignored warning signs about Jackson's health and were motivated to push the singer and his doctor to improve their own financial fortunes.
"We're not looking for any sympathy," Panish said. "We're looking for truth and justice."
With Jackson's mother, brother Randy and sister Rebbie seated in the front row of the courtroom, jurors were shown numerous slides and several scribbled notes.
A couple of jurors nodded when the lawyer referenced Jackson's achievements, including successful concert tours and a Super Bowl performance.
Katherine Jackson dabbed her eyes after Panish read a note that her son wrote to her, detailing his feelings about her.
"All my success has been based on the fact that I wanted to make my mother proud," the singer's note said, "to win her smile of approval."
The personal touches came after Panish spent the first half of his presentation detailing Jackson's struggles with prescription drug abuse throughout the last half of his life.
He also showed jurors numerous emails sent between AEG executives concerning Jackson's health and their concerns that he wouldn't be able to perform 50 planned concerts in London.
Putnam recounted the chaotic days following Jackson's death as investigators and the public tried to figure out how the singer died unexpectedly. He urged jurors to remember that propofol killed Jackson.
"One thing became very, very clear," Putnam said. "While the world may not have heard of propofol, Mr. Jackson certainly had. The evidence is going to show you that he had been using that drug for years and years."
He said jurors will hear from Jackson's ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, who would tell them that Jackson used the anesthetic in the 1990s.
"Mr. Jackson got very, very, good at hiding his addiction," Putnam said. "He didn't let anyone see it. Not his staff, not his children. This was the private Michael Jackson."
He said physician-patient confidentiality kept Jackson's reliance on propofol from becoming publicly known.
That extended to Murray as well. "He couldn't tell anyone about the propofol use," Putnam said of the former cardiologist.
Panish, however, said AEG saw the Jackson shows as a way to make a lot of money and better compete with Live Nation Entertainment Inc.
He displayed a March 2009 email sent before a news conference featuring Jackson, in which AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips wrote to Tim Leiweke, the former CEO of AEG'S parent company, that Jackson was drunk and refusing to address fans.
"This is the scariest thing I have ever seen," Phillips wrote Leiweke. "He is an emotionally paralyzed mess riddled with self-loathing and doubt now that it's show time. He's scared to death."
Panish said Jackson's behavior was just one of several warning signs the company ignored before the death.
He told the panel that they would be the ones to assign liability for Jackson's death, but they should look at AEG's actions and not focus on Jackson's issues.
"Michael paid the ultimate price. He died," Panish said. "Michael has taken responsibility."
