Rihanna to Tour with Ke$ha This Summer



Sorry, Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard. But your summer tour just took a significant backseat.

Rihanna has confirmed that she'll take her new album, "Rated R," on the road this summer, leading a "Last Girl On Earth" North American tour that will also include another diva burning up the charts: Ke$ha!



Which of these singers would you be more excited to see live?

The women, along with rapper Nicki Minaj, will start the proceedings in Seattle on July 2, make 25 stops altogether, and conclude on August 25 in Chicago.

Tickets go on sale at LiveNation.com on April 9. Check out the complete schedule of dates and locations below...

Nicollette Sheridan Sues Desperate Housewives Creator for Assault


As a primetime soap opera, Desperate Housewives has remained a popular ABC show due to its sordid storylines and intriguing scenarios.

But nothing that's happened on Wisteria Lane can compare to what a former star is accusing the show's creator of doing: in a documents filed today, Nicollette Sheridan accuses Marc Cherry of assault and battery, gender violence and wrongful termination.

According to TMZ, she's suing him for over $20 million, stating that Cherry acted "in an extremely abusive and aggressive manner toward the individuals who work on the show."

Specifically, Sheridan alleges that Cherry struck her across the face in 2008.



This is what supposedly went down:

On September 24, the actress questioned a development in the script. According to the lawsuit, "Cherry took her aside and forcefully hit her with his hand across her face and head."

From there, the papers read, Cherry went to Sheridan's trailer to "beg forgiveness." ABC was notified of the situation, but failed to act.

The suit also claims that Cherry once discovered that Teri Hatcher went behind his back to complain about him. His alleged response? "I hope Teri Hatcher gets hit by a car and dies."

Soon after these incidents, plans were made to terminate Sheridan from the show. Her character was killed off last season.

For now, these are nothing more than allegations. As Desperate Housewives winds down its season, though, there's a good chance the drama behind the scenes will continue through the summer.

Michelle McGee to Ref Hailey Glassman Boxing Match



Having already whored herself out for 15 minutes of fame and a couple of quick paychecks, what's left for Michelle McGee to do but ... ref Celebrity Boxing!?

No, seriously, she is. One of the bout's participants? Hailey Glassman, former Jon Gosselin plaything. Heartwarming to see these mediocre mistresses unite!

Celebrity Boxing Federation promoter Damon Feldman, who was romantically linked to Hailey at one point, confirmed to the New York Post that Jesse James' mistress will referee a May 7 bout between Glassman and porn star Gia Lynn.

Hailey Glassman and Jon Gosselin parted ways bitterly in December. He accused her of vandalizing his place, she accused him of having a two-inch package.

Michelle "Bombshell" McGee was the first of several Jesse James mistresses to cash in by blabbing to the media. Friday, the tattooed mother of two returned to work at Pure Platinum strip club in San Diego, Calif., where she performs topless.



Michelle McGee will officiate Hailey Glassman's next blowout fight - and we're not talking about when she slashes up Jon Gosselin's apartment with a butcher knife.

When she's not feuding with Chelsea Handler or getting pissed off at her haters on Facebook, McGee enjoys long walks on the beach and reading The Economist.

We totally made that up. The only real question left to ask here:

Jessica Simpson Loves Her Body

When it comes to self-love, Jessica Simpson is all about it. No, we don't mean that in a dirty way, just a high self-esteem way. She's comfortable in her own skin!

If she were to pick one favorite feature, though, what would it be?

"I like my nose, that's my favorite body part," she tells FOX News.

We'd have chosen these two body parts in a virtual dead heat.

"I do have a bump, but I like my profile," she continues. "But I don't think anyone else has my exact same nose, which I think is unique and just a little flawed."



Jessica Simpson's favorite body part on full display.

The alleged singer / actress says she "needed" last year's scrutiny on her appearance, which reached a fever pitch following those fat Jessica Simpson pics in mom jeans.

"I needed to find some light in the dark place I was in. People's judgments about me and my weight are none of my business. I found something that will help me deal."

What that is, we can't say. But she adds: "You really have to know who you are before you can truly fall in love and give your all. I don’t think a man can define you."

Okay then. Her new reality show The Price of Beauty has redefined terrible, even by VH1 standards, and has been floundering since its forgettable debut last month.

Its March 15 premiere netted just 1 million viewers, losing out to a rerun of NCIS, a TruTV series called Operation Repo and the History Channel's Pawn Stars.

Britney Spears: Our Beloved Trailer Park Bride


We've concluded the April Fools portion of our news day.

The headline above is not meant to be taken seriously. Britney Spears did not get married in a trailer park yesterday ... she's just walking around looking like that.

Shopping on Rodeo Drive, she looked as if she just did a rodeo of sorts in the sack, grabbed some dude's glasses off the bedside table and made a break for it.

Even her hot mess hair screams walk of shame. No more than the fact that she forgot two thirds of her outfit, of course. But hey, that's Britney Spears for you.

How else do you explain this unmatched fashion glory ...



WHAT A MESS: Britney Spears as only Britney Spears dresses.

Maybe she and Jason Trawick had a quickie in the back seat before rollin' to the McDonald's drive-thru? Or maybe they eloped at the local courthouse, then consummated the marriage in the back seat, then hit the drive-thru?

Oh who are we kidding, Britney Spears pictures like this are one of the biggest reasons we adore her. That would totally make an awesome wedding dress. She should sell the idea to a designer. We're thinking "Kentwood Princess" for the name.

Anna Paquin Comes Out as Bisexual


Academy Award winner and True Blood star Anna Paquin is bisexual.

The actress, who recently got engaged to Stephen Moyer, her costar on the HBO show, made the announcement herself in a new PSA video promoting the Give a Damn campaign, which features celebrities speaking out for equality.

"I'm Anna Paquin. I'm bisexual and I give a damn," the 27-year-old says on-camera, according to sources, who say they were unaware of this beforehand.

Others present at the taping for the Give a Damn PSA, on behalf of the True Colors Fund: comedian Margaret Cho along with singers Mya and Jason Mraz.

Other major names: Kim Kardashian, Elton John, Whoopi Goldberg, Cynthia Nixon, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, Judith Light, Clay Aiken and Wanda Sykes.

Taylor Swift and Cory Monteith: Supposedly Dating!


Is Taylor Swift torn between two young hunks?

We can't independently validate this report, but that's the rumor going around. The hot rumor. It all started when she spent the night of March 23 cozying up to Glee cast member Cory Monteith at Pinz Bowling Center in Studio City, Calif.

Then, the very next day, Swift reunited with former co-star and ex-boyfriend, Eclipse star Taylor Lautner, for lunch. Are both just friends - or potential boyfriends?

If it's the latter, how many heartthrobs does one girl need, and who's the frontrunner? Despite her namesake being so hot, Cory might have the inside track.

The Taylors are “good friends,” an insider tells OK!, while Cory Monteith and Swift are more than that - and have been “happily and quietly dating” for a while!
