Kelly Rowland Likes Kinky Adult Bookstores
Kelly Rowland visits sex shops. The former Destiny’s Child singer has a raunchy side and doesn’t worry if people judge her for visiting X-rated shops selling steamy lingerie and other sexy goods. She told Vibe magazine: “I go to sex shops and don’t worry about what people say. I go at 1am, the good ones [...]
Playmates Defend Hugh Hefner's Sexual Prowess
Hugh Hefner's ex-fiancée Crystal Harris may have trashed his bedroom skills on Howard Stern's radio show -- but other visitors to Hef's boudoir are giving him glowing reviews! While Harris claims that she only had one sexual encounter with Hugh and it lasted "like two seconds," People got the scoop from several other Playmates who speak highly of 85-year-old Hefner's prowess as a lover.
"I've heard girls say they have a lot of fun in there," says Hiromi Oshima (pictured above), the magazine's June 2004 centerfold and the second Japanese-born Playboy Playmate.
"Hef is a lover," agrees Dani Mathers, a Playmate who currently works for Playboy TV. "I think they definitely had sex more than that one time and it wasn't two minutes. Hef definitely has a sex life."
Shanna MacLaughlin, who posed for the magazine last year, didn't testify to his prowess -- but did say that he deserved better treatment. "I think the whole thing with Crystal is really sad, and Hef is such an amazing man," she tells People. "He provides so much for everyone that's around him and all of the Playmates."
Hefner has certainly been the classier one in the breakup so far, refusing to play it for publicity. He has commented periodically on Twitter, mostly to say that the split caught him by surprise and that Crystal's subsequent negative comments have been lies. He even turned down the opportunity to retaliate against her embarrassing Howard Stern interview.
"Howard Stern would like me to respond to his interview with Crystal on his show tomorrow, but I don't want to throw her under the bus," he tweeted on Wednesday.
Then again, he hasn't exactly been home nursing a broken heart; the world's most envied octogenarian announced on Tuesday that he was "happy to be in a better place with new girlfriends Anna Sophia Berglund and Shera Bechard." Berglund (Miss January 2011) is 25 years old, by the way, and Bechard (Miss November 2011) is 27. As if you couldn't guess!

Michael Jackson may have dubbed himself the King of Pop, but the late icon didn't hold the box-office crown for long. Less than a year after the posthumous MJ documentary "This Is It" became the most successful concert-themed film in U.S. history, Justin Bieber is poised to snatch the mantle.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" has earned $72.2 million in domestic box office so far, passing Jackson's $72.1 million haul. And while Bieber has racked up those impressive numbers in just six weeks, he's got a long way to go before he laps the global receipts for the MJ doc.
"This Is It" has grossed $189.1 million overseas for a global total of $261.2 million. Music films don't typically play well overseas, and THR noted that "Never Say Never" has grossed a more modest $10.8 million overseas so far, with Paramount executives predicting that it could top out around $20 million internationally.
The impressive U.S. numbers were likely goosed by the re-release of the film recently with 40 additional minutes of bonus footage from director Jon M. Chu. Bieber still has a little way to go to climb the list of the top-grossing documentaries of all time. "Never Say Never" is currently stalled out at the #3 position, around $5 million behind "March of the Penguins," according to Box Office Mojo, and well short of the all-time record held by Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," which has taken in $119.1 million to date.
Bieber set off a classic MJ-style fan frenzy a few weeks ago when he visited Liverpool, England, for his world tour. And just a week later, he posed with his new wax figure at London's Madame Tussauds, checking off another item on the list of milestones to an MJ-like career.

Beyoncé has said that she was "inspired by every type of genre" of music while making 4. But in a recent interview, she spoke in detail about how husband Jay-Z and other hip-hop artists became sonic touchstones while she recorded her fourth solo album.
"Jay had a CD playing in the car one Sunday when we were driving to Brooklyn," she tells Complex about hearing Odd Future's Frank Ocean, who co-wrote the 4 track "I Miss You." "I noticed his tone, his arrangements, and his storytelling. I immediately reached out to him — literally the next morning. I asked him to fly to New York and work on my record."
She also chose to work with Kanye West (who eventually produced "Party") after she heard "Runaway," which she admits, made her cry. "The fact that he's belting out his pain, his confusion, and his anger, with no pre-written lyrics, was so moving," she explained of her husband's frequent collaborator. "He's singing his heart out for five minutes. He is so vulnerable. I love when an artist can be so honest."
Of course, B acknowledged the direct influence of Jay's own work too. "Jay's music is more than music. His lyrics have fathered generations," she told the magazine. "All that he has overcome gives millions so much hope. There are moments when I see his lips moving, and I can see lyrics floating above his head, and I think, 'Wow! How did I get so lucky to be able to witness this level of genius so closely?' "
Beyoncé released her album in a season dominated by strong female voices, but she doesn't want any part in conversations that pit her against other divas.
"There is room on this earth for many queens," she said. "I have an authentic, God-given talent, drive and longevity that will always separate me from everyone else. I've been fortunate to accomplish things that the younger generation of queens dream of accomplishing. I have no desire for anyone else's throne. I am very comfortable in the throne I've been building for the past 15 years.
"I just want my legacy to be great music," she later added. "Someone who was a risk taker and someone who had songs that struck conversation and emotion."
