    Oh, Taylor Swift. When will your reign of terror finally come to an end?! For a pop star, the 23-year-old sure does seem to bring a lot of "trouble" into other people's lives. Usually these people are ex-boyfriends, but this time The Curse of Taylor Swift has befallen an 18-year-old girl who doesn't even know Taylor personally! British college student and professional Taylor Swift look-alike Xenna Kristian was just minding her own business when another female student (clearly NOT president of the Taylor Swift fan club) attacked her for no reason (well, no reason except that she looks like Taylor Swift) and gave her a suspected broken jaw.

    “Some girls at college had started making nasty comments, but it escalated really quickly," said Kristian. "The girl came up behind me and dragged me off my chair by my pony tail, then started kicking me in the face.”

    Yikes!

    It's not every day that a judge issues an arrest warrant for someone who died about three months ago. That's just what happened this week, however, in the case of 1990's rap star "Tim Dog", whose real name is Timothy Blair.

    Best known for his song "F--- Compton", it was with great sadness in February that fans learned the rapper had died, reportedly after a seizure related to diabetes. Only now, it turns out he may not have died at all, and is merely faking his death to get out of paying court-ordered restitution to a woman whom he allegedly swindled out of $32,000.

    Could he really stoop that low?

    It looks like the audience at the Billboard Music Awards isn't the only one who can't stand Justin Bieber. Rocker Jon Bon Jovi called the Biebs an "asshole." I know. How did he read all of our minds? Only Jon wasn't talking about Bieber's pot smoking, his run-ins with the paparazzi, his abandoning a monkey in quarantine, his hoping Anne Frank was a "belieber," or any of the other myriad assholey things that Biebs has done lately. He was talking about the most assholey thing of all -- at least in music circles -- blowing off your fans!

    Well. I'd never even heard of the recording artist Miguel until the Billboard Music Awards show last night. But now? I think we all know him a whole lot better, especially one particularly unfortunate woman. In the middle of his performance, he leaped over screaming fans from the stage to the catwalk -- juuuust a little too low. Miguel landed on a woman's neck, giving her an involuntary close encounter with his crotch.

    Zoiks! No matter how hot you think a singer is, this is exactly no one's fantasy.

    So, let's say you (Kelly Rowland) are one-third of a super-successful music group (Destiny's Child). And let's say one of the other thirds (Beyoncé) goes on to get way, way more successful than your group ever was or could be. Would you support her career? Sure you would ... but there's supportive -- and then there's supportive. Like, there's Mrs. Brady Supportive: "Marcia, you made the cheerleading squad! That's wonderful!" And then there's Jan Brady supportive: "Marcia, you made the cheerleading squad. That's wonderful. MARCIA, MARCIA, MARCIA!!"

    Well, Rowland has a new album coming out (Talk a Good Game) with a new song ("Dirty Laundry"), and that song is basically Rowland's way of admitting that yes, she is Jan Brady supportive of Beyonce's career. Or to put it more bluntly, yes, Kelly Rowland is jealous of Beyoncé.

    Here is why I need to make becoming friends with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson a priority. Apparently Rob bought Kristen a karaoke machine a few weeks ago. Their very own karaoke machine! So they can have singing parties at Kristen's place without having to deal with those pesky fans always wanting to snap photos with them.

    A source told The Sun, "They both absolutely love karaoke. They used to go to bars whenever they could, but more often than not they’d get hassled by people. So Rob surprised Kristen with their own machine. It’s top-of-the-range stuff with built in disco lights, a huge screen, and even its own mini stage." OMG! Count me in, you guys. I even have a playlist for you. Here are 30 songs Rob and Kristen's karaoke machine definitely needs.

    I love me some Bruno Mars. I know every word to "When I Was Your Man." Emo song about love lost. "I should have bought you flowers and held your hand. Should have gave you all my hours when I had the chance. Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance. Now my baby is dancing, but she's dancing with another man." Oh, Bruno. You really know how to belt it out. And so does 4-year-old Kai Langer from Woodland, Texas.

    Little Kai was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last week and did his own rendition of Mars' song. It was his second visit to the show -- the first time he covered "Grenade." Watch Kai in a signature Bruno Mars fedora hat belt out "When I Was Your Man." Better prepare yourself though -- you might smile so hard, you'll hurt your face.

    So David Bowie has this new video, and -- what's that? Yes, I said David Bowie. Yeah, I'm a little surprised to hear he's still making music videos too, but wow, his voice has held up wonderfully over the years. Whatever throat-coating tea he's drinking, he needs to share some with Bob Dylan. Anyway, so Bowie has this new video for his song "The Next Day," and while you'd think his days of shocking the public would have peaked during his Ziggy Stardust days, it turns out the singer's still got some impressive tricks up his sleeve.

    Not only is the clip so controversial it was yanked from YouTube, The Catholic League has referred to it as -- I swear I am not making this up -- the work of a "switch-hitting, bisexual senior citizen from London" that "is strewn with characteristic excess." Plus, a prominent Christian evangelist from Harvest Ministries called it "offensive and distasteful."

    Oh, you KNOW you want to see it now, right?

    A crowd of screaming Bieber fans were shocked, mortified, and I'm sure quite a few almost passed out after seeing Justin Bieber attacked on stage by a crazy person at his concert in Dubai yesterday.

    Yep, the Biebs was just going about his business, doin' his thing -- when out of nowhere, some dude ran up on stage and tried to grab him, at which point a security guards came after him. He knocked over the piano -- which was literally right next to Justin.

    Talk about hard to please! One would think that if your kid grew up to be a Grammy-nominated, chart-topping pop star, you'd be pretty happy, right? Not in Katy Perry's case. The singer's dad, pastor Keith Perry -- yup, the same guy who called her divorce from Russell Brand a "gift from God" -- apparently refers to his daughter in sermons as a "devil child." Gee thanks, Dad! In fact, it seems as if the preacher has made Katy's career the centerpiece of his, um, "teachings," as he regularly asks congregations to pray for her "healing." Oh, and it gets better! Keith Perry blasts his kid's multi-platinum success with the following overblown bit of self-righteousness: "I was at a concert of Katy’s where there were 20,000. I'm watching this generation and they were going at it. It almost looked like church. I stood there and wept and kept on weeping and weeping. They're loving and worshiping the wrong thing."
