Star Spotting: Katy Perry Steals The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Short of first contact with an extraterrestrial, news that the Cubs won the World Series or some kind of Kanye West Twitter meltdown, it's hard to imagine what could possibly steal the show from the models walking the runway at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

But Katy Perry gave it her best shot just the same. The recently married singer, wearing a yellow PVC minidress with hearts all over it, black thigh-high boots that matched the black PVC... underwear part, sang a medley of tracks at the annual lingerie maker's shindig.

As Katy Perry, looking like an awesome, neon Little Bo Peep sang "Hot N Cold," "Teenage Dream" and "California Gurls," models like Adriana Lima strutted their stuff on the Victoria's Secret catwalk. Not to be outdone, Akon, the night's other entertainment, performed his song "Angel," while Lima walked the runway wearing a $2 million bra.

The above photo of Katy Perry will have to hold you over until the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is broadcast on CBS, on Nov. 30.

Great Scott! Why Justin Bieber Needs To Star In A 'Back To The Future' Remake

Today the upgraded trilogy set of epic flick (epflick?) Back to the Future comes out on Blu-ray. It's also the 25th anniversary of the exact date Marty McFly time traveled in the movie. Though remakes tend to be disappointing, in the spirit of nostalgia (that is, after all, the major message of the movie) and pop culture, we’ve decided a reimagining of the time-travel treasure is in order. In fact, if we start casting this situation now, we’ll be pretty much exactly on schedule for an Oct. 26, 2015 opening date--the exact date Marty travels to in the movie’s sequel. AND we’ve (in our heads) cast the perfect Millennial Marty McFly: Justin Bieber! We know, this is heavy. Stay with us.

OK, Justin Bieber was made for this role. First off, just like Michael J. Fox, who plays the main character in the original version, he’s Canadian. He also kinda-sorta looks like a teenaged MJF (who was 24, BTW, when he was cast in the part). Justin Bieber’s an experienced actor, thanks to his experience shooting the soon-to-be-released 3-D movie Never Say Never. And we don’t have to tell YOU guys that he’s musically adaptable enough to sing and play a mean “Johnny B. Good.”

We’re pretty sure this is Justin Bieber's thespian “density.” In the slightly paraphrased sage words of George McFly, he needs to get his “damn hands” ON this role.

Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale: Have your people call Bieber's people, ‘kay? To the flux capacitor!!

Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus File for Divorce


Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus -- parents of Miley Cyrus and four other Cyrus kids -- have filed for divorce.

PEOPLE broke the news of the split, as the couple plans on going their separate ways after 17 years of marriage. In a statement to the magazine, the couple said it is currently "a very difficult time for our family," and that they're "trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers."

Both Billy Ray and Tish have been instrumental in Miley's success, serving as managers for the Hannah Montana starlet. Watch a clip of Billy Ray and Miley talking about their path to fame in this 20/20 interview:

Taylor Swift Dating Jake Gyllenhaal Is SUCH An Epic Upgrade!!!

Taylor Swift has come far from the days of Taylor + Taylor (Lautner, obviously) and Joe Jonas. Lately, the 20-year-old country-pop phenom just LOVES to kick it with an older dude! And it's speculated that Taylor Swift's moved on from notorious serial dater/chronic TMI-er John Mayer. It's been reported that Taylor "Fearless"-ly called John Mayer out on his "dark and twisted games" on her new song, "Dear John." And to prove that John Mayer is SO earlier-this-year, Taylor Swift has been seen spending time with steamy Jake Gyllenhaal, who's 9 years older than her. If the rumors are true, we think this liaison is an upgrade worthy of a PARADE. Prince of Persia's Jake Gyllenhaal is mind-bogglingly beautiful.

Multiple sources spotted Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal out in New York City, and Taylor even brought him to the Saturday Night Live set where her bestie Emma Stone was hosting last weekend. The pair were also reportedly seen walking around Brooklyn together, and they just wentapple-picking together. Maybe Taylor's over rock stars as potential suitors and has returned to Hollywood for boyfriend fodder?

Are you guys into this unlikely pair? Or did you prefer when Taylor Swift dated within her age-bracket (and name, in the latter case) with Joe Jonas and Taylor Lautner? OR, were you pro "John Tayer"?

Justin Bieber And Willow Smith Have An Epic Dance-off!

In a very Step Up (2 or even better, 3-D) move, Justin Bieber and Willow Smith engaged in an epic dance-off on stage during Justin's tour in Los Angeles. Each pop sensation already has their own hair situation for which he/she is famous--Bieber for his brushed-forward bangs and Willow for her wildly popular hair-whipping. Since that's already established, naturally, they had to then figure out who is best dancer between them. So, much to the delight of squealing fans at the Staples Center, Justin Bieber and Willow challenged each other to friendly dance battle using rap group Cali Swag District's "Teach Me How to Dougie."

After watching the video, we're convinced that both the "Whip My Hair" singer AND the "Baby" crooner could pretty much teach a class on how to Dougie, complete with a syllabus. In fact, they'll teach you how to dougie and give YOU a pop-quiz involving critical thinking questions.

For Justin Bieber, this isn't the first Bieber-Smith collaboration. He teamed up with Willow's brother (and Will and Jada's son) Jaden on their "Never Say Never" duet. The duo showcase some impressive shoulder shimmying and some super get-low moves.

Who do you think emerged the victor of this Dougie-ing duel?
