In their continued attempt to shake things up this year, the producers of The Oscars have hired Joel Madden as the house deejay. Producer Adam Shankman is a friend of Joel’s and is the one who tapped him for the gig.

“We’re friends and I asked him,” Shankman says. “I wanted there to be a party atmosphere and I wanted to make sure everyone in the room was having a great time. He’s one of the best, and knows most everyone there.”

Joel is pretty psyched about it – he tweeted:

Guess who is Dj’in the Oscars. Me. Yes i will put on a bow tie of some sort.

Thank you @adammshankman for making me a part of the show. I’ve never been to the Academy awards before. Gawrsh!

From the little bits we keep hearing, I don’t think this year will be a boring broadcast at all. Are you a regular watcher of the Academy Awards?

[HMG] – What do you get when you cross Lily Allen, Courtney Love and that micro-blog phenom known as Twitter? Answer: The most witheringly concise cat-fight in recent PR.

First, a brief recap When the two divas collided earlier this month at London’s Brit Awards [they're like the Grammys with accents.] Courtney took every chance she could find – or invent – to whine to the press that while her [free] ‘Miu Miu’ gown was all very nice, what she really wanted was some free Chanel.

But, Love mewled, naughty little Lily had put a ‘lock’ on those frocks, so she was forced to go slumming.

The only people more steamed by this tasteless review than the folks up at Miu Miu were Miss Allen and her reps. So when the two met again at the NME Awards on Wednesday, Lilly gave Courtney a piece of her mind [must be on loan?]…then ignored her all night.

Today, however, Lily denies such an act; “Courtney Love and I did -not- have a bust up at the NME’s, she tweeted.

Later chirps added, She’s upset because she got it into her head I put a lock on some dresses for the Brits. When I saw her at the NME’s I told her to shut up and stop spreading stupid rumors. That’s pretty much it.

…But then it was time to slide home the knife;

I would never fight with her – As a rule I don’t pick on crazy old ladies.”

A feathery fan later asked if rumors of her putting a ‘hold’ on clothes were ever true; No, began Lily’s reply. But it’s the sort of thing a paranoid, drug-addled lunatic might come up with.

Courtney’s response, meanwhile, sounds more like apology;

“I was told by my PR you had a lock on Chanel. This could’ve been nonsense; Its a compliment if true,” Love tweeted. “I think I know the reality – If you did not have a lock, which is more probable, I was told nonsense…So, end.”

And today, in the process of returning home to the States, Courtney had a last farewell message for her beloved Brits;

“I’m going to miss you all you Brits – with a few ‘mean girl’ exceptions,” Love tweeted this morning. “I’m taller than most girls, so when some smaller girl picks on me it looks like I’m a bully. I’m really not always -.Swear.”

And that’s probably a pinky-swear. So those who share the real-world perceptions of a child of six had better believe her – or she might hold her breath!…

Wyclef Jean was chosen as humanitarian of the year at the NAACP Award show:

The NAACP has seen fit this year to honor Mr Wyclef Jean with the Vanguard Award. The recipient of this award is chosen based on their work to improve racial and social issues. It is an honor well deserved by Mr. Jean.

[...] In 2005 Jean established the Yele Haiti Foundation with a quarter of a million dollars of his own money. Wyclef coined the term Yele and it comes from a creole word that mean to scream. He chose it because he wanted his cry for his country to be heard. The foundation was created to provide humanitarian aid and assistance to his homeland. In its first year of operation, Yele Haiti provided scholarships to 3,600 students, and has concentrated efforts on education, arts, sports, food distribution and emergency relief. Yele Haiti now has an annual operating budget of $3 million dollars.

After the devastating earthquake struck Haiti recently, Mr. Jean was on a plane to Haitialmost immediately and worked tirelessly to help during the disaster and to raise money awareness of his country’s plight.

Do you really want to know?

Look, we’re going to be honest with you. There is a crazy, shocking twist at the end of Robert Pattinson’s movie Remember Me. We know it, we’re going to tell it to you, but if you are really looking to enjoy this movie, we recommend not reading any further. We think it is worth the surprise.

So STOP READING right now, if you don’t want to know the ending to this movie.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Okay, here’s the deal:

Though viewers are led to believe that the movie is set in the present day, it’s actually set in 2001. In the final moments of the film, Robert Pattinson’s character has a fight with his girlfriend, played by Emilie de Ravin. He leaves to go to his father’s office and when he arrives, he rides the elevator up to the 92nd-floor. As he waits for his father, he looks out the window and helpleslly watches American Airlines Flight 11 hit the building and dies in what is now known as 9/11.

Movie over.

Now that’s what we call a twist! We might even see this thing now, just for the ending!

What do U think of the ending?!

Courtney Love has decided to take a break from hating on Lily Allen and turn her focus on ex-boyfriend Ed Norton.

The Tweets are a tad hard to decipher, so the best we can do is to guess that she thinks Ed owes her $300,000 and she has every intention of getting the FBI involved if he doesn’t give her the money.

There is also something in there about Brad Pitt, Enron, and “Thirsday.”

Bless her heart!

Now that Beyonce’s world tour is over and she’s ready to kick back and enjoy life, she says that she has left behind her on-stage persona “Sasha Fierce”.

“Sasha Fierce is done,” she told “Extra” host AJ Calloway. “I killed her.”

Beyonce shared how she plans to spend her time off:

“learning to paint and cook, and to do Broadway shows and museums. And learn just to be at home and just watch television.”

When asked about the possibility of having kids:

“Eventually,” she said. “When it happens, it happens.”

According to MTV, she played over 100 concerts on six continents. And that doesn’t include interviews and tv performances, etc. I’m sure she’s looking forward to just kicking back and doing some relaxing.
