Willow Smith's "I Am Me" Music Video: Watch Now! » Gossip - Proclaiming her individuality in her latest song, Willow Smith has once again wowed fans with her new music video for "I Am Me".

In the track, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's 11-year-old daughter slams those who criticize her about her choices and fashion sense.

Willow premiered her "I Am Me" music video at the 2012 BET Awards, and, in the video, the "Fireball" singer moves around New York City on a skateboard pausing to sing in the middle of a busy street while belting out the lyrics: “Express myself cause it’s my liberty / I’ve been lookin’ / Your validation is just not that important to me.”

Also not important to Miss Smith is what people think of her buzzed hairstyle or what she wears, as she sings, "People don't like the way I dress, or where I'm at. I dye my hair and it's not just vanity," adding, "I am me, I am free. That's all I can be."

Encouraging others to also be carefree, Smith sings, "You have to be yourself. Be real, Be honest. Cause ain't nobody got time for that. They really don't."

After the premiere of "I Am Me", Willow took to Twitter to thank her fans while tweeting a link to her new hit, adding, "Thanks for the #IAMME Luv! This is for you guys!!!"

Chris Brown Releases "Off That Liquor"; Is New Song a Message to Rihanna? » Celebrity Gossip

The talk of the Twitter-verse is that Chris Brown is begging for forgiveness from Rihanna in a new song released online. But is it true, and if so, how will she react?

The lyrics to Brown's single "Off That Liquor" (below) include the following line: “Them other girls ain’t got nothing on ya. Patron mixed with … that’s your recipe.”

Rihanna is a known fan of Patron tequila, BTW. Also, the line “If it’s loving that you need,” from her 2005 hit “If It’s Lovin’ That You Want” is mirrored in Chris’ new song.

He sings, “Come, if it’s loving that you need, from me!”

Chris Brown and Rihanna

Could it be that Chris, whose fans have been in the news as much as he has lately for their threats against Chrissy Teigen, is really pining for his ex this time?

Maybe, maybe not ... but it's hard to believe this was penned for Karrueche Tran.

He continues, “Whenever you’re ready, I’mma give you my heart,” to which he almost explicitly demands Rihanna to come back to him ... and get naked ASAP.

“Right now girl, baby come over, so we can make love,” he croons. “So when you’re leaving that party baby / Come on over, we can get it started baby.”

Your move, Rih. Your move.

Colbie Caillat Swarmed By Bugs, Runs For Cover During Live Performance » Celebrity Gossip

Colbie Caillat - Bubbly (Live, With Bug Attack)

Colbie Caillat, best known for her hit single "Bubbly," was performing that very song in Pittsburgh this week when she asked the crowd to join in.

They obliged. A crowd of insects took a strong interest in her, as well.

Around the halfway point (2:00 below), bugs swarmed Caillat to the point where they interrupted the song, forcing the beautiful singer to run for cover.

Gamely, she returned and had the crowd help her finish the tune:

Colbie Caillat - Bubbly (Live, With Bug Attack)

"My goodness. I am traumatized from the bazillion bugs that were literally raining on me from the sky while singing on stage," she wrote afterward.

Caillat, who's touring with Gavin DeGraw, may be a girly girl, but she's a good sport. One who will advocate for indoor venues from now on.

Justin Bieber Releases "Die in Your Arms" Single: First Listen! » Celebrity Gossip

Just one day after a paparazzo accused Justin Bieber of battery, the teen heart throb has released his latest single, entitled "Die In Your Arms."

While it's not a cover of "(I Just) Died In Your Arms" by Cutting Crew (sadly), the new track by the Bieb does have a decidedly retro feel to it.

Scooter Braun, Bieber's manager, described the song on Twitter as having an "Old School Jackson 5 vibe." Listen below and see if you agree:

Justin Bieber - Die in Your Arms

"Die In Your Arms" is the eighth track on Believe, Bieber's third studio release.

The much-hyped first single from the album, "Boyfriend", debuted at No. 2.

Unlike this latest song, "Boyfriend" was influenced by R&B and hip-hop as Justin continues to branch out, relatively, as his career progresses.

Believe drops June 19. What do you think of "Die in Your Arms"?

Lady Gaga Fears Terrorist Attack, Cancels Indonesian Concert » Celebrity Gossip

Lady Gaga is so terrified that Islamic terrorists might attack her and/or her mega-concert in Indonesia, she cancelled the upcoming show, her reps confirmed.

Gaga's management team announced today there were major security concerns regarding the June 3 gig in Jakarta, the nation's capital city.

Extremists were calling to ban Gaga, fearing that her risque costumes, song lyrics and embrace of homosexuality would corrupt Muslim youths.

Lady Ga Ga

The Indonesian Council of Ulema chairman, Cholil Ridwan, fervently urged a boycott, saying Gaga "intends to destroy the nation's morality."

Security concerns for the concert skyrocketed from such beliefs, so much so the Jakarta police refused to issue the star's tour a permit.

This in spite of the fact that 52,000 tickets had already been sold.

Given the current lack of permit, and the rising security threats, Gaga's team threw in the towel and decided to officially cancel today.

Gaga then released a statement Sunday via Twitter saying, "I'm so very sorry to the fans and just as devastated as you if not more."

"You are everything to me. I promise I will try to put together something special for you. My love for Indonesia has only grown."

The 26-year-old has courted controversy everywhere in Asia.

South Korean critics also called for a boycott; She sang in the Philippines amid death threats, and most recently performed and shopped for a fake Rolex in Bangkok.

Cheryl Cole Pumps Up "The Voice UK"

Showing the world that she's still got it when it comes to a dazzling stage presence, Cheryl Cole churned out a high-energy performance on the UK's version of "The Voice" on Saturday (May 26).

The 28-year-old English pop star donned an eye-popping, multi-colored ensemble as she treated audience members and viewers at home to a rendition of her new single "Call My Name".

During the course of her appearance on "The Voice UK", Miss Cole took a moment to dish out a little advice to the show's semi-finalists, as she encouragingly told, "Don't forget why you've come to the show... just live the dream."

Cheryl also offered up a backstage interview in which she opined about the talent competition series by saying, "The initial stages of the show were really interesting I thought because it was a really different take having the judges face away from the auditioner. Then you're based solely on your ability and not on your image or your look, which a lot of people don't have down in the early stages, you know, they don't even know about - it's just raw talent."

Lastly commenting on her Black Eyed Peas judge pal, will.i.am, the brunette beauty gushed, "Mr I.am has always been amazing for me. So, to me it's just been like what he does and says to me in our private time but onscreen now everyone's getting to know him. It's been actually been really nice watching his journey. I think all the judges are great."

Phillip Phillips Loves Girlfriend, Embraces Talent » Celebrity Gossip

We're sorry to say it, ladies, but: Phillip Phillips has a girlfriend. And he's head over heels for the unnamed brunette.

"She is so excited for me," the 21-year old told reporters in a conference call yesterday. "She supported me throughout all of this, and I love her to death."

Phillip Phillips Finale

Phillip added that his gal pal has helped him immensely through his kidney ailment - it came out this week that Phillips underwent EIGHT surgeries during season 11 and is due for one in the near future - and if female voters out there have a problem with his heart being taken, well...

... too bad!

"If a girl [voted] for me because I'm cute, and then gets mad that I have a girlfriend, then she doesn't really like the music," he said. "I'm not some cute guy who is trying to be successful off that. I really want the music to come first."

So, why did YOU vote Phillip Phillips for American Idol winner?

Chris Brown "Sweet Love" Music Video: First Look! » Celebrity Gossip

That sound you hear is Team Breezy taking a momentary hiatus from sending incredibly disturbing death threats to "haters" and collectively shrieking.

The video for Chris Brown's latest single, “Sweet Love,” has just dropped.

The 23-year-old R&B singer goes shirtless showing off some dance moves, while getting cozy with his on-screen love interest in bed. Swoon?

Watch Chris do his musical, sensual thing in the music video below:

FUN FACT: While Chris walked and sang through the lot’s NYC streets, a production crew set up a flying structure to levitate three models.

None of them were assaulted in the process.

Just kidding. Sorry, Team Breezy. We admit, the song is pretty good and he's been on fire this year with one hit after another. Give credit where it's due. You know what they say, if you can't beat 'em ... you're not Chris Brown.

Should Fox Cancel American Idol? » Celebrity Gossip

The ratings for American Idol were way down this season, about 32 percent lower than those of season 10.

The winners on American Idol all appear to be from the same mold, as Phillip Phillips follows in the Caucasian, guitar-playing footsteps of Lee DeWyze, Kris Allen, David Cook (pictured) and Scotty McCreery.

So, it must be asked: is it actually time to cancel American Idol?

David Cook on American Idol

Yes, Allen told TMZ this week. He believes the plug should be pulled on a competition that has clearly grown tiresome on the eyes of viewers.

But another former winner disagrees.

American Idol is a juggernaut," Taylor Hicks told TMZ in response to Allen. Because of my American Idol win, I am able to do the thing that I love most, which is to be an entertainer... the fact that I am headlining Vegas six years after auditioning there and then ultimately winning AI is testament to the incredible platform the show continues to provide for me."

What do YOU think? Should American Idol get the axe?

Phillip Phillips & Jessica Sanchez's Last "American Idol" Performances » Celebrity Gossip

Phillip Phillips & Jessica Sanchez's Last "American Idol" Performances

Rounding out the 11th season of “American Idol,” the final two contestants of Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez took the stage for one final time before a winner is named.

On Tuesday night’s (May 22) episode, Phillips and Sanchez went through three different rounds rocking out the final performance episode to win the hearts of America and the judges one last time.

The evening began with song selections from creator Simon Fuller. Up first, the 16-year-old songstress sang her rendition of Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” while the 21-year-old jammer gave his version of Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me.”

During the second round, the former pawn shop employee gave his sexy take on Billy Joel’s “Moving Out” while Jessica sang Yolanda Adams’ hit “The Prayer.”

Finally, finishing off their third round were the songs that will be released as the crowned winner’s first single. For Sanchez, that was her tune "Change Nothing", which the judges weren’t thrilled with. Randy Jackson was blunt with his opinion, saying, “"Let me be straight up, I did not love the song,” while Jennifer Lopez also gave her advice, explaining, "You have to be able to say to someone, 'This is not me', you can change songs. Those are your options as an artist."

The final performance of the night could be described with the old saying “save the best for last” - as Phillips closed things out while getting a standing ovation for his tune “Home,” in which Jackson applauded and said, "Dude, I loved the song, I loved you, I loved the marching band, everything about that was perfect!"

Making the night even more performance packed, last season’s winner Scotty McCreery and Jason Derulo both took the stage.

Tune into FOX tomorrow night at 8/7c to find out who will be this year’s “American Idol” and check out tonight’s performances below!
