Taylor Swift Donates Autographed Red Shoes to Soles4Souls
Taylor Swift has donated a pair of shiny red Bloch brand ballet flats to Soles4Souls, an international shoe charity. Not only are the shoes as adorable and as fashionable as Dorothy’s from ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ but the ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’ singer also autographed the inside soles of the shoes, and with a heart. So whoever bids on and wins the shoes might not want to wear them, so as not to smear or smudge Swift’s John Hancock!

Did Beyonce Give Kim Kardashian the Cold Shoulder?
Is there a rivalry (or a cat fight) brewing between the leading ladies of two titans of hip-hop? It would seem so.

It seems like everyone who’s anyone in pop and country music is in the running for the vacant judge posts on ‘American Idol.’ Diva Mariah Carey is the only judge firmly in place, as sole OG judge Randy “In It to Win It” Jackson’s future remains up in the air, dawg.

Beliebers Attack Bing for Endorsing One Direction in MTV VMAs ‘Share-Worthy’ Video Poll
There was a serious torrent of insults hurled at Bing courtesy of Justin Bieber‘s Beliebers after the Bing official Twitter account tweeted words of encouragement and endorsement for One Direction in the MTV VMAs ‘Share-Worthy’ video poll.

Why Does Justin Bieber Have a Gun?!
Whoa. An ill-advised pic of Justin Bieber made it to the Twitterverse and has caused a storm of criticism to rain down on the singer. The Biebs posed with girlfriend Selena Gomez and the father of an actor while on the set of her film ‘Feed the Dog,’ pointing a prop gun at the dad, who is between he and Gomez. Given the recent rash of shootings, namely in Colorado, Wisconsin and New York City this summer, the Biebs posing with a gun is a reaaaaalllllyyy baaaaaaad choice.
