TODAY'S MUSIC NEWS:

Whether she’s pregnant again or not still remains a mystery, but Beyonce did present a new song on Monday, delivering the track “Grown Woman” online. Beyonce teased the empowering tune a few weeks back in her Pepsi commercial, and she’s been performing it on her current The Mrs. Carter World Tour. Meanwhile, in a newly released video clip shot before her April concert in Croatia, Beyonce revealed she was nervous about doing the show because the day before she had been diagnosed with tonsillitis. The show in Zagreb went off without a hiccup.

Veteran rocker Jon Bon Jovi had some choice words for 19-year old pop star Justin Bieber, berating the young superstar for his infamous tardiness at a show in London earlier this year. The Bon Jovi frontman, one of the top-selling live acts in the world, told the London Evening Standard, “Every generation has guys that do that, none of that is new. They run the risk of disrespecting their audience members who have worked hard to pay for their ticket, to give you the permission to take two or three hours of their lives – or in that kid’s case, 80 minutes of their lives.” Bon Jovi went on to say, “Do it once, you can be forgiven. Do it enough times and shame on you. They won’t have you back. Then it just becomes a cliché. It’s really not cool – you’re an a**hole. Go to f***in’ work!”

Meanwhile, Bieber’s abandoned pet monkey, Mally, will now be adopted by Germany after he failed to meet a deadline to reclaim the baby capuchin. The pop star’s pet was seized on March 28 when Bieber entered the country with his pet without proper paperwork. Mally has been housed in a Munich animal shelter, and now Bieber is stuck with a large bill to pay for its care.

Chris Brown was involved in a collision on Tuesday when he rear-ended a Mercedes with his Range Rover in Los Angeles. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and cops weren’t even called to the scene. But what makes this story a bit juicier is the fact that Brown’s former girlfriend, Karrueche Tran was in the car with him at the time of the fender bender.

Eight Mile Style, the song publishing arm of rapper Eminem’s empire, has filed a lawsuit against Facebook and an ad agency, alleging they copied portions of his 2000 song “Under the Influence” for use in an online Facebook ad. The suit, filed Monday in Detroit, claims Portland, Oregon ad agency Wieden+Kennedy copied Eminem’s music “in an effort to curry favor” with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Though everyone agrees Linkin Park is singer Chester Bennington’s priority, he says his surprise appearance fronting Stone Temple Pilots last Saturday in Los Angeles was not just a one-time thing. In a radio interview, Bennington said, “Now the cat’s out of the bag and we’re going to go out, make more music, play more shows and have some fun.” Comparing the two bands, Bennington said, “Every band has its own vibe. Stone Temple Pilots has this sexier, more classic rock feel to it; Linkin Park is a very modern, tech-heavy band.”

TUESDAY'S MUSIC NEWS:

After multiple unnamed sources reportedly confirmed to E! News Friday that Beyonce is pregnant with her second child, her husband, Jay-Z, has reportedly denied his wife is expecting. A New York City DJ said Monday he sent Jay-Z a congratulatory email, and received a reply, saying: “It’s not true. The news is worse than blogs.” Neither Beyonce or an official spokesperson have publicly confirmed or denied the singer is pregnant.

Longtime Elton John lyricist Bernie Taupin was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence near his Santa Barbara, California home. The Santa Barbara Independent says Taupin was taken into custody on May 5 after crashing his truck into a wooden fence. No one was injured, but police took Taupin into custody for suspected DUI. A court date has yet to be set.

Mary J. Blige has been hit with a new $3.4 million tax bill. TMZ reports Internal Revenue Service officials have filed a federal tax lien against the singer for unpaid income tax from 2009 through 2011. The new IRS bill is separate from the $900,000 Blige is accused of owning the state of New Jersey. In February, she was sued for allegedly defaulting on a $500,000 bank loan, and last summer Signature Bank took her to court claiming she failed to make a $2.2 million payout.

Maroon 5 cancelled a planned European tour over “scheduling conflicts.” Singer Adam Levine, whose role as mentor on NBC’s The Voice is turning him into a major celebrity, is not named as the reason for the band scrapping six shows in the UK and Ireland scheduled for next month, and more slated for Paris and Amsterdam in July. But in a message on the band’s website he said: “We are truly sorry for any inconvenience we have caused our European fans and promise that when we come over in January we will put on a show to remember!”

Cee Lo Green confirmed he will be very busy this year. Backstage at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, he confirmed that he will be returning to NBC’s The Voice, as well as putting out a new Goodie Mob album, Age Against the Machine (due August 27), a new solo record, and a new Gnarls Barkley album. As if that wasn’t enough, he said he plans to tour in support of all three releases.

Could jealousy have been the reason for Taylor Swift’s public display of animosity towards her BFF Selena Gomez and on-again-off-again boyfriend Justin Bieber’s PDA backstage at Sunday night’s Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas? Cameras caught Taylor sticking her tongue out after catching Gomez plant a kiss on Bieber’s cheek.

In a new interview with Britain’s Mirror, Jon Bon Jovi once again laid to rest rumors of Richie Sambora no longer being a member of Bon Jovi. Although he admits he hasn’t seen his longtime guitarist since Sambora failed to show up for a concert in Calgary, Bon Jovi said, “He’s not fired, we didn’t have a fight, it certainly isn’t about money. He can return when he’s ready to die every night the way I walk on the stage. No one’s mad, no one’s sad.”

Ray Manzarek, a founding member of The Doors, died yesterday morning in Germany after losing his fight against bile duct cancer. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer died with his wife, Dorothy, and his brothers, Rick and James, at his side. Manzarek formed the Doors after a chance meeting with fellow UCLA film student Jim Morrison on the beach in Venice, California in 1965, and The Doors went on to become one of the most successful and influential bands in the history of rock. Ray Manzarek was 74.

E! News claims that Beyonce is indeed expecting her second child with husband, Jay-Z, according to multiple sources, though Beyonce is yet to confirm the news.

Rihanna is determined to put a stop to British retailer Topshop selling unlicensed t-shirts bearing her image. A source told the New York Post, “(Topshop’s owners) buy the pictures from a photographer, but they do not pay the artist licensing fees. Unfortunately, UK law does not protect the artist…” Rihanna has spent over $1 million in litigation at this point. So far, both sides have failed to reach an out of court settlement.

Cops are investigating possible death threats against singer Chris Brown. According to TMZ, multiple threatening calls were made to his lawyer Mark Geragos’s office, although details regarding the calls are not known. Geragos represented Brown after his 2009 arrest for beating up girlfriend Rihanna.

Despite his much-publicized onstage claim of not being a “muthaf***in’ celebrity” last week, Kanye West asked a store in which he was shopping to play his own music. According to the New York Post, before his performance last week, West stopped in at Atrium in Soho to do a little shopping when his new album in hand and asked the store to spin it while he browsed. A source said, “He sang along to some songs for a few shoppers.”

Justin Bieber’s pet monkey is still in a German animal shelter, and The Biebs is reportedly responsible for the cost and care of food and vet visits, which will run him several thousand dollars. The capuchin named Mally was quarantined by customs officials in March when Bieber arrived in the country without the proper paperwork. The shelter housing the animal claims Justin’s management has asked that the monkey be put in a zoo.

Britney Spears’ The Smurfs 2 song “Ooh La La” made its debut online Friday. The movie arrives in theatres of July 31. Last week, will.i.am told Billboard he and Spears would begin working on her next studio album this week.

Fans attending Saturday’s annual concert put on by a Los Angeles radio station were treated to a huge surprise when Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington appeared onstage with surprise guests Stone Temple Pilots. Bennington, filling in for the recently fired Scott Weiland, sang the band’s big hits, plus the band debuted a new song, “Out of Time,” which can be downloaded for free at stonetemplepilots.com. Stone Temple Pilots knows Linkin Park is Bennington’s top priority, and he’s not thinking of jumping ship to join STP.

The Rolling Stones Saturday played the second of their two-nights at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, and as with every show on their 50 and Counting tour they counted on a couple of special guests to share the stage. On Saturday, former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman and guitarist Dave Grohl got to trade guitar riffs with Keith Richards and share vocals with Mick Jagger. The tour moves back to the Staples Center in Los Angeles tonight.

FRIDAY'S MUSIC NEWS:

Shakira and Usher will not return to The Voice this fall, but according to EW.com, they will be back next spring. The fall edition will feature the original lineup of mentors Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and CeeLo Green, but in the spring, it will switch back to the current lineup, with Usher and Shakira once again replacing Aguilera and Green.

Radaronline says Kim Kardashian is furious because baby daddy Kanye West has already planned to go on an international tour not long after she gives birth next month. Word is, Kanye’s new album will drop June 18th and he’s planning a fall tour to promote it, which means the baby will only be a few weeks old when he hits the road. Meanwhile, Kanye played a surprise show in New York Wednesday, and went off on a foul rant against paparazzi, in which he said he is not a celebrity.

Bound and determined to get back onstage after already having to cancel one concert, Beyonce made good on her promise to put on “a great show” Wednesday in Antwerp, Belgium. The singer told the crowd that her doctors told her not to perform, but there was no way in the world she would cancel again. Earlier Wednesday, she posted a letter on Facebook apologizing for having to cancel Tuesday’s show, which will be rescheduled.

The Rolling Stones welcomed John Mayer as their special guest Wednesday night in Anaheim, California, marking the third time Mayer has jammed with the band on their 50 and Counting tour.

British boy band One Direction announced Thursday they will embark on their Where We Are world tour on April 15, 2014 in Bogota, Colombia. The pop quintet will rock soccer stadiums in South America before returning to the UK for five more stadium shows next May. In addition, the group promised their next as-yet untitled “more edgy” and “rockier” album will be out before the end of the year.

Dancer-choreographer Wade Robson called Michael Jackson "a pedophile and a child sexual abuser" on Thursday's Today show. Robson, who's seeking money from Jackson's estate for alleged child sex abuse, said he didn't come forward sooner because Jackson had intimidated and brainwashed him to lie about their relationship. Meanwhile, Michael's nephew, Taj Jackson just revealed he was molested by a family member on his mom's side when he was a kid, and says Michael personally consoled him after the incident. Tito’s son says he's in a unique position to judge Robson's sexual abuse allegations because he knows what it's like to have gone through such a traumatic experience. Debbie Rowe, who is the mother of Jackson’s two eldest children, told TMZ that she was angered that Robson reversed his sworn testimony from court in 2005, and thinks his publicity-seeking attempt is opportunistic and just oozes falseness.

As previously reported, will.i.am will serve as executive producer for the forthcoming Britney Spears album, and according to the Black Eyed Peas leader, his new job will get underway next week. He told Billboard they’ve already spent some time discussing and working through some of the new songs.

Diddy tricked his Twitter fans Wednesday when he said he was joining the cast of Downton Abbey.

This came just weeks after PBS announced it would be adding its first black character to the series.

THURSDAY'S MUSIC NEWS:

An unidentified 22-year old man was taken into custody and booked for trespassing after ending up too close to Taylor Swift’s newly purchased beachside home in Rhode Island. The man was first spotted by Swift’s security guards in the early hours of Wednesday morning, and told police he was just out for a midnight swim and drifted onto the pop star’s property. According to cops, the obsessed Taylor fan from Chicago admitted he had just swam to meet Taylor, but after spotting security got back in the water and swam back to his original location, about one mile away.

Noting that she’d “never postponed a show” in her life, Beyonce took to Facebook to write a letter apologizing for cancelling Tuesday’s planned concert in Antwerp, Belgium. The singer promises to make it up. She cancelled her concert due to exhaustion and dehydration, sparking more rumors that she may be pregnant.

Former Idol champ Carrie Underwood refused to underestimate her own potential even as a high school student. Underwood, who graces the cover of the June issue of Marie Claire, told the magazine, “You were supposed to say what you would be doing in 10 years, and I said, ‘I will be rich, famous, and married to a hot guy.’ I guess I should have added a few more things.”

L.A. County Sheriff's deputies pulled over Diddy's $500,000 Maybach vehicle after someone called 911 and said someone in the car had a gun.

The car had just come from being serviced.

The home has eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a pool, pool house, sauna, steam room and private theater. Meanwhile, J-Lo says she would consider saying “I do” a fourth time, Lopez said, “As a girl, you never really give up on that fairytale completely.”

Four debuts highlight this week’s top five on the Billboard 200 album sales survey, with country crossover trio Lady Antebellum’s Golden coming in at number 1, closely followed by the Jay-Z executive produced movie soundtrack to The Great Gatsby, and the new Now That’s What I Call Music 46 hits package. For the second week in a row, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with “Can’t Hold Us”. P!nk’s “Just Give Me a Reason” featuring fun.’s Nate Ruess held on to number two.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, former R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills nixed any rumors of an R.E.M. reunion, saying, “We said we’re done and we’re done. It was time to break up. The idea of breaking up and not reforming for a reunion tour is kind of attractive to us. I doubt you’ll see us touring as R.E.M. again.”

---------------------------------

WEDNESDAY'S MUSIC NEWS:

Christina Aguilera will return for the fifth season of The Voice, meaning Shakira isn’t likely to come back.

She is scheduled to perform in the same city and venue tonight, and the statement said she was “awaiting word from her doctors before making a decision” about tonight’s performance.

A Los Angeles prosecutor has asked a judge not to overturn Conrad Murray’s involuntary manslaughter conviction in connection with the death of Michael Jackson in 2009. Murray, who is currently serving a four-year sentence, has appealed his conviction, claiming the judge overseeing his trial made several serious legal errors, including failing to sequester the jury and allowing television cameras inside the courtroom. If he serves his full sentence, Murray will be released October 28.

Troubled Puddle of Mudd singer Wes Scantlin was arrested again late Monday, this time for domestic violence. The rocker was taken into custody in Los Angeles stemming from an incident with his ex-wife at a business in West Hollywood and is being held on $20,000 bond. Scantlin is already on bail after being pulled over for speeding earlier this month, when police learned two warrants were out for his arrest in connection with another traffic violation and cocaine possession.

A Massachusetts Appeals Court judge reinstated a defamation lawsuit filed by the guitarist of the classic rock band Boston. Tom Scholz claims Micki Delp, the ex-wife of the band’s late singer Brad Delp, made comments to the Boston Herald which could be interpreted as blaming him for Delp’s death. Delp committed suicide in 2007. A judge ruled a jury should decide whether a plaintiff has met the burden of demonstrating malice.

Chris Brown is about to release a new single called “They Don’t Know,” which features previously unheard vocals by the late Aaliyah. Brown took to the streets of Los Angeles to shoot a video for the new track, a snippet of which was released via a video clip on the Vine video sharing site. At a BET Awards 2013 press conference on Tuesday, Brown said of the video, “I shot it in the ‘hood. [I’m] bringing both worlds together and trying to uplift the poverty side of the community and show them where I’m from.”

Green Day and California skateboard makers Real Skateboards have partnered to create a line of boards inspired by the band’s trio of new albums and documentary, with proceeds benefiting Children’s Hospital & Research Center in Oakland, California. Real Skateboards co-founder Jim Thiebaud told the New York Daily News that singer Billie Joe Armstrong’s sister works at Children’s Hospital, and Billie Joe was the one that suggested it.

KISS singer/guitarist Paul Stanley is telling fans to expect a revamped stage for their next tour. Bassist Gene Simmons says the band’s new stage features a massive spider that will shoot fireballs out of its tentacles. He says it’ll be able to be flat and come up and walk almost to the front of the stage, adding, “it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.” The super-spider will make its debut on the band’s European tour, which begins June 1.

Sculptor Scott Eaton has been commissioned by Amy Winehouse's parents to create a life-size bronze sculpture of the late singer, which will be displayed at the famous London music venue The Roadhouse, the last place Winehouse performed at before her death. E! News says that the singer's family will remain a part of his creative process every step of the way. Unlike many of Eaton's works, this sculpture will not be a nude. In fact, he has been combing through Winehouse's wardrobe to find the perfect inspiration. And, of course, no statue of Winehouse would be complete without her famous beehive.

RYAN CABRERA GETS A TAT OF RYAN GOSLING
Ryan Cabrera played a game with a friend of his where they were both blindfolded and had to randomly pick the tattoo that the other would receive. And raising the stakes even higher is that neither could see the finished product until the tattoos were done. It’s called Tattoo Roulette. And it’s every bit as stupid as it is permanent. Cabrera was surprised to discover that on his calf now rests the likeness of film star Ryan Gosling.
