Jessica Biel is looking forward to her newest role: wife. "To me, nothing will really change, because I'm almost never home," the Total Recall actress told Gala. "But when I am home, I enjoy cooking." Overall, once they tie the knot (possibly in a big summer wedding), "I don't think our marriage will change anything," the 30-year-old says. While that may turn out not to be true, she admits "it will be a challenge finding a balance between private life, family and work ... I'm ready." Biel also describes herself as "someone who lets things happen naturally," saying she is not sure if she wants to have a child right away. "For me, getting married doesn't mean limiting ourselves to some predefined idea. Rather, it's an opportunity to explore new things in life." And while fans may ogle Timberlake's good looks and hot moves, for Biel, there are three distinct qualities she finds admirable in Justin. "The ability to communicate well ... to be able to express his feelings," she says of her... - affiliate business

Guests at the surprise wedding of Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan wedding first saw the bride in her beautiful white gown, accompanied by the couple's dog, Beast. The 1-year-old Puli, an Internet celebrity in his own right (he has 570,000 Facebook fans), wore his shaggy Hungarian sheepdog hair pinned up over his eyes. Check out the photo of Beast and Chan in her wedding dress: Beast first joined Chan and Zuckerberg in their Palo Alto, Calif., house last year, a month after he was born. He has since pooped on Zuckerberg's rug, visited the Facebook offices, and met the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan, among other milestones. Most of all, he has become an important and meaningful member of the family. Both Zuckerberg and Chan, known as Dad and Mom on Beast's page, feature their beloved dog in the cover photos of their personal Facebook pages. Walking mom down the aisle to marry dad? Doesn't get better than that. - affiliate business

Madonna recently went out of her way to once again not-so-subtly remind everyone that she is, in fact, in a sense, an older version of Lady Gaga. The queen of pop was performing "Express Yourself" at a rehearsal in Tel Aviv, Israel when she suddenly trotted out a cover of "Born This Way." Of course, the two tracks blended seamlessly, reviving debate over whether Lady Gaga ripped off Madonna with her 2011 smash hit single. Madonna Covers Born This Way Although she stayed mum on Gaga's song for some time, Madge eventually referred to it as "reductive" and undoubtedly influenced by her earlier work. There is no actual feud here, but the whole thing seems to have an air of condescension, as if Madonna is wielding the cover over her head. Or, on the other hand, is Madonna merely winking at the controversy while celebrating the younger performer and the highest form of flattery? Tell us what you think in the comments below. - affiliate business

Just one day after a paparazzo accused Justin Bieber of battery, the teen heart throb has released his latest single, entitled "Die In Your Arms." While it's not a cover of "(I Just) Died In Your Arms" by Cutting Crew (sadly), the new track by the Bieb does have a decidedly retro feel to it. Scooter Braun, Bieber's manager, described the song on Twitter as having an "Old School Jackson 5 vibe." Listen below and see if you agree: Justin Bieber - Die in Your Arms "Die In Your Arms" is the eighth track on Believe, Bieber's third studio release. The much-hyped first single from the album, "Boyfriend", debuted at No. 2. Unlike this latest song, "Boyfriend" was influenced by R&B and hip-hop as Justin continues to branch out, relatively, as his career progresses. Believe drops June 19.

By popular demand, and after garnering much criticism, a Florida county is putting the racy romance trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey back on library shelves. Before reversing its decision, the Brevard County Library System was perhaps the most prominent of the many bans of the book occurring nationwide. The county pulled 19 copies of the best-sellers from its bookshelves earlier this month, calling the popular novels by EL James "semi-pornographic." Monday, the county announced that Fifty Shades of Grey would be available immediately through the library in response to requests from residents. Library Services Director Cathy Schweinsberg said that the library was against censorship and was reviewing its selection criteria after negative feedback. Public libraries in several states have banned the book, saying it's too steamy or poorly written. It's definitely the latter, though you can't ban it for that. Bottom line: Sometimes you gotta lighten up and give the people what they want ...... - affiliate business

Georgia Davis, a 19-year-old sadly but accurately dubbed Britain’s Fattest Teenager, had to be rushed from her home to the hospital last week. Rushed in a relative sense. When the 840-pound Davis collapsed with breathing problems and chest pains in the bedroom of her home in South Wales, authorities underwent an amazing eight-hour operation to evacuate her out of the house and to a hospital. Georgia Davis Hospitalized A 40-man rescue team demolished the top half of her mom’s house with sledgehammers and a circular saw to make a 10-foot by 10-foot hole. They also tore down an internal dividing wall so Georgia Davis could be removed from her back bedroom which had become her own prison. Georgia was then airlifted out by crane on a special stretcher and transported via ambulance that had to be reinforced to take her weight. She had been “effectively immobile for six months” after her weight rocketed this year, pushing her to the brink with major health problems. She had weighed in at 460... - affiliate business

On Sunday night's Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kris Jenner the momager reared her obnoxious head early and often. On Monday's special Memorial Day episode? More of the same. "I am in L.A. for literally 24 hours and my mother is on the phone handling business calls," Khloe Kardashian-Odom laments during a family dinner. Pretty much. Even Kim Kardashian, the woman without an original thought, weighs in: "My mom is losing focus of the family time that we just really want." How bad did it get? Let's find out in THG's recap! "My divorce has been really draining, really stressful," Kim laments. "I just want to leave this chapter of my life behind me." Girl, it was more like a foreword.

For Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, it's all about putting family first and being by each other's side. Sounds cliche, but it really does work. For nearly 15 years, in their case. "We make the effort to always put the family first," Smith said at last weekend's Men in Black III premiere in New York City. "Being there for each other and being present with our kids ... I take being a parent very seriously." Will is father to Trey, 19, from a previous relationship, and Jaden, 13, and Willow, 11, with Jada. He considers his marriage and children his top priority, and flew back to L.A. from New York nearly every weekend while filming MIB3. He and Jada will celebrate their 15th anniversary in December. Despite rumors of their divorce lately - which Pinkett Smith recently said were ridiculous - Will says that, as a couple, they're as strong as ever. "What's helped us is being supportive, no matter what the situation is," the actor says of his better half. "I'm so lucky to have... - affiliate business

Metta World Peace, the slightly-unhinged NBA player formerly known as Ron Artest, fired off what was clearly the best Memorial Day tweet ever yesterday: Minutes later, he deleted this and replaced it with, "Happy memorial day ... I was still sleep :))) Bout to fire up the grill.. Shout out to the veterans!!!!!!!!!" Hours later, with people still giving him a hard time, he wrote: "Hey, it's not Labor Day... Enough... I partied like three rockstars yesterday.... Woke so twisted I thought I was labor day...Mistake.move on." The coolest thing about all this? Metta spent the next few hours re-Tweeting messages from fans about what Memorial Day means to them. - affiliate business

MSNBC's Chris Hayes sparked major controversy and debate when he said that he felt uncomfortable using the word "hero" for members of the U.S. military. Hayes' point was that the word is inadvertently used to start more potentially unjust wars - not unreasonable - but now says his own word choice was poor. After speaking with a former Marine whose job it was to notify families of the death of soldiers, he said that while he means no disrespect to those who serve us all, the word "seems to be rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war." Chris Hayes Asks: Are Military Men Heroes? Hayes also said that, on the flip side, it is "noble" to join the military. While a "liberal caricature" like himself would not truly understand "submitting so totally to what the electorate or people in power are going to decide about using your body," Hayes conceded, he saw valor in it. Nevertheless, Hayes' words, on Memorial Day of all days, caused a predictable furor with some. He issued a... - affiliate business

Boxer Paul Williams has been seriously injured in a motorcycle accident near Atlanta, the fighter's promoter said, and is currently paralyzed from the waist down. The 30-year-old Williams, who was set to fight world champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, on Sept. 15 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, cannot feel his legs. Dan Goossen, his promoter, added that the left-handed fighter is scheduled to undergo surgery at an unidentified hospital. Williams resides in Aiken, S.C. Goossen said he was told by Williams' manager and trainer that Williams swerved to avoid contact with a vehicle Sunday and lost control of his motorcycle. "Riding a motorcycle can be treacherous," Goossen said of the tragedy. "I'm told Paul is in remarkably good spirits considering what has happened." Asked if Goossen has been told Williams will never fight again, the promoter said, "Our thoughts aren't there right now. He's undergoing this procedure." "We're hoping he can get back on his feet after that. That's all we're... - affiliate business

Indeed, the 12-year old has returned with another cover - he's already put his own twist on Justin Bieber and Britney Spears, among others - and this time he's focusing on the hottest single of the spring: "We Are Young" by indie pop band Fun, featuring Janelle Monáe.

The America's Got Talent auditions continued to roll on in Tampa Bay, Florida tonight - and Nick Cannon continued to hog the spotlight. The producers really need to tone down the amount of Nick interacting with the contestants. Seriously. This isn't Nick Cannon's Got Friends. Overall, there weren’t a lot of great performances. The weird acts that we watched included a haircutter that tried to be Edward Scissorhands; a stunning but stereotypical hula hooper; an above-average magician; and a "Boss" dance group that may be a little too out there for mainstream America. I don't think that any of the acts we witnessed here will win this season. Good, Great All That! - Every few years a good clogging team arrives and does decently. Any clogging team should have precision and strong formations and they strong precision but only okay formations. All That! seems to have a bit of an age issue combined with a lack of staging.

The Bachelorette ran it back with another partially-contrived, unintentionally hilarious, uber-dramatic episode tonight on Memorial Day. And what an episode. Okay, it was pretty run-of-the-mill. But between some vintage Bachelorette cliches, a romantic date with Arie Luyendyk, Jr., and some man tears, it had its moments.

In an ironic twist, Basketball Wives star Kenya Bell is being hit up for money by her former NBA player husband, as she now makes more money than him. Former Michigan State star Charlie Bell feels he supported Kenya for years with his wages, but says it's his estranged spouse's turn to get his back now. Charlie filed for divorce from Kenya months ago. She's raking it in on the VH1 show, and while he's still playing internationally, the money's not the same. Kenya Bell - Choices Despite having over $1 million in the bank, Charlie says Kenya's the one with the income - from Basketball Wives and her "music career" (see above).

An unidentified woman missed her American Airlines flight last week because staff found her choice of clothing offensive, according to news reports. That's because it bore a statement that first appeared at a pro-choice rally this year: "If I wanted the government in my womb, I'd f--k a senator." The woman, identified only as "O," said of the incident, "When I boarded, I was one of the first groups to board (did not pass by many folks)." "I was wearing my shawl loosely around my neck and upon sitting down, the lady next to me, who was already seated, praised me for wearing the shirt." Yet a flight attendant told her that she needed to speak with the captain before making her connecting flight because the shirt was offensive. The captain informed her that she shouldn't have been allowed to board in the first place, and would need to change before her connecting flight. According to the woman, this caused her to miss her connection. She says the airline called ahead to the connecting... - affiliate business

Flavor Flav needs to cough up $111,186 in child support payments to the mother of three of his seven kids or face jail time, news sources say. “It was declared a willful violation,” an official said of his failure to pay child support ... which can't be good. He faces up to 180 days behind bars. The rapper didn't show up for a hearing last week, so an Albany, N.Y. magistrate recommended his driver's license and passport be revoked. While Flav, 53, is required to pony up $837.72 a week to baby-mama Angie Parker for child support ... he clearly hasn't done so in some time. This isn't the first time the outspoken, likely insane rapper has slipped up on child support payments. Parker sued Flav in 2010 for $63,458. Before his second career as a ridiculous VH1 reality show star, Flav was a member of Public Enemy. He served 90 days in jail in 1993 for shooting at his neighbor. The Flavor of Love star and House of Flavor restaurant owner is due back in court June 19 to answer the charges ...... - affiliate business

Look, TSA, we know that terrorists flew planes into the Twin Towers in 2001, and that security has been understandably tight ever since... but come on. Can't an exception be made for Kim Kardashian?!? That's basically what the reality star wondered over the weekend, as she touched down in Los Angeles - following a PDA-filled trip to Cannes with Kanye West - and lamented the loss of a few luggage items. "Very disappointed in British Airways for opening my luggage and taking some special items of mine! Some things are sentimental and not replaceable," Kardashian Tweeted Saturday. "What happened to the days when you could lock your bags! We need to get back to that. There's no sense of security and no trust! Shame on you." Poor Kim.

Arie Luyendyk, Jr., is doing a great job wooing Emily Maynard on The Bachelorette so far this season, but a series of strange details about his past have cast serious doubt about both his character and motives. Are we looking at Mr. Here For the Wrong Reasons? While none of the revelations are that scandalous, Arie's level of success this season (see The Bachelorette spoilers for more on that topic) makes them quite consequential as a serious candidate to become Emily's fiancé and Ricki’s future stepfather. According to reports, Bachelorette producer Cassie Lambert not only knows Arie - a race car driver and son of Indycar champion Arie Luyendyk, Sr. - she's been trying to get him on the show for years, but he kept turning it down.

Beyonce is back on stage and back in shape. Not even five months after giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy, she performed live over the weekend, showing off a slender figure that belied her recent pregnancy. The megastar revealed her weight loss secrets to a capacity, awe-inspired crowd at her Atlantic City concert, with Michelle Obama and daughters in attendance. At a red carpet appearance earlier this spring, Bey had already slimmed down. During the second of her four concerts at the Revel Beach Ovation Hall in New Jersey, the 30-year-old star said, “Y’all have no idea how hard I worked." “I had to lose 60 pounds. They had me on that treadmill. I ate lettuce!” It certainly paid off for Bey who had looked sensational in all her custom-made Ralph and Russo costumes, particularly a midriff-baring two-piece. But she added: “Now tonight I'm gonna get chocolate wasted!” [Photo: WENN.com] - affiliate business

Timothy Busfield's movie date gone awry resulted in a complaint by a woman who said he groped her, and is now going to the L.A. City Attorney. That office will determine whether to charge the actor, best known for The West Wing, thirtysomething and Revenge of the Nerds, with a crime. A woman accused Busfield of groping her during a date at a Thousand Oaks movie theater. She went to the police, who have been investigating. Detectives want to interview Busfield about what happened that night, after which they will send the case file over to the L.A. City Attorney. Busfield doesn't have to oblige, but either way the case is going to prosecutors. The good news for Busfield is that the case won't be referred to the L.A. County D.A., who could file felony charges with prison on the line. The City Attorney can only file misdemeanor charges, and the maximum penalty, which he'd almost certainly not get, is six months in jail. [Photo: WENN.com] - affiliate business

Former Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon is now a married woman. The actress exchanged vows over the weekend with Christine Marinoni, the woman to whom she got engaged three years ago during a rally to support same-sex marriage in New York. A bill allowing for just that was passed in the summer of 2011. Confirms Nixon's rep to People: "On May 27, 2012, Cynthia Nixon and her girlfriend, Christine Marinoni, were legally married in the state of New York. Nixon wore a custom dress by Carolina Herrera." Nixon - who has two children from a previous relationship and one with Marinoni, an education activist - created a stir earlier this year when she said homosexuality is a choice. She then went on to amend the statement and explain she was only referring to her own experience. [Photo: WENN.com] - affiliate business

Jenny McCarthy and Brian Urlacher, star of the NFL's Chicago Bears, are totally a couple, according to reports. Reports she confirmed this weekend. The football great joined McCarthy Thursday night at Rockit Bar & Grill for the “Rescue Our Angels” event, benefiting Jenny’s autism charity. Asked about Urlacher at The Generation Rescue Foundation event by WMAQ-Channel 5, Jenny McCarthy said, “Yes, it’s true, we are dating.” Despite attempting to hit out-of-the-way meeting places, the couple hadn’t been able to hide their budding romance, try as they might. “Let’s face it, it was really already out there, everybody knew it,” she said. Also, the relationship apparently has reached a point where McCarthy feels it’s “the real deal and will last,” added a source close to her. McCarthy clearly was not hiding anywhere or anything Friday. She joined about 30 close Urlacher friends to toast his 34th birthday.

The Bachelorette star Emily Maynard's #1 priority is her 6-year-old daughter, Ricki. Kalon McMahon, a.k.a. the "villain" that ABC really wants you to hate (and a bunch of the guys probably do) this season, apparently feels otherwise. On tonight's episode, he makes his feelings about fatherhood known. "I always had believed that my first child would be one of my own, so obviously embracing you and Ricki as a part of my life ... it's not the way I wrote it up in my journal as a kid," he boldly admits to the Charlotte, N.C. single mom. Taken aback, Maynard asks the helicopter-riding douche to think of his own mother, who raised him as a single parent, but Kalon immediately cuts her off. "I love it when you talk, but I wish you'd let me finish," he snaps. That comment will put Maynard even more on edge. "I love tall, skinny and funny, but I don't love tall, skinny and condescending!" she snaps at him. Ouch.

In other words: How can we refer to someone as heroic if we disagree with the cause for which he or she died? It certainly seems like an odd way to make a point about war.

Witnesses tell The Daily Mirror that the two were locked in a minute-long embrace at one point, with Kutcher making a tearful speech that included the words: “I’ve made all these horrendous mistakes in the last year.” Ashton reportedly received applause when he was finished, while a source says Demi looked "frozen" in response. “They are still desperately in love and could be on for a reconciliation," an insider tells the newspaper.

Sasha and Malia even sang along to the old school-sounding jam "Love on Top." Michelle and Beyonce seem to be building quite the rapport of late: MTV says the two have been exchanging letters for the past few months. Michelle Obama told People last week that if she could be any other person in the world, she'd be Beyoncé "because it looks like musicians have the most fun."

Justin Bieber has been accused of battery against a celebrity gossip photographer. But questions have already risen over the legitimacy of this allegation. Here is what the paparazzi member claims in a police report: he tried to take Justin's picture around noon yesterday outside a mall in Calabasas called The Commons. Bieber, who was accompanied by Selena Gomez, reacted in anger, some kind of physical confrontation took place and the photographer was taken to the hospital after complaining of upper torso pain. Here is what actually went down according to witnesses who spoke to TMZ: The photographer was blocking Bieber's car; the singer asked him to move; and a scuffle did ensue when the "journalist" refused to do so. But an attorney then approached the photographer and explained how he could get a lot of money if he called and ambulance and pressed charges. No word yet from anyone in Justin's camp, while authorities are hoping to speak to Bieber and Gomez some time this week. - affiliate business
