Charlie Sheen Declares: I'm Grandiose, Not Gonna Die!
In his latest rant - this time to TMZ, from his own backyard - Charlie Sheen insinuated that long-time publicist Stan Rosenfield lied in October when he claimed that Sheen's Plaza Hotel breakdown was due to an allergic reaction.
As a result of this statement, Rosenfield issued the following statement this afternoon: "I’m unable to work effectively as his publicist and have respectfully resigned."
Sheen's response to this decision? "Pussy. He's not allowed to quit, so you’re fired."
Yes, it's just another few hours in the life of Charlie Sheen. Shortly after he went off to NBC and ABC regarding his status as a role model for his children, the star spoke with TMZ and said he was disappointed in how those interviews were portrayed.
"I had an expectation, and the result was not something I thought it would be. And that's on me. Whatever, life goes on."
Among other topics Sheen touched on: his father, his kids and Heath Ledger...
On his 10-month old kids: "Everybody here is parenting the kids. They're running into walls, but they're screaming 'Da-Da' when they do it."
On his father's recent defense: "I respectfully allow him to maintain those beliefs and those opinions. I don't support them ... He doesn't live inside my brain. I'm the only one who does ... No disrespect, but I'm 45 years old. At some point, respect and embrace that. I have five kids."
Is he crazy? "I'm grandiose."
Does he fear suffering a similar fate to Michael Jackson and Heath Ledger? "It's not a one-size fits all. That's what people don't seem to get. That's all I'm going to say about it. Don't do drugs that are just supposed to be administered in a hospital at home. Read the frickin' labels."

Lady Gaga Previews Born This Way Tracks
Rolling Stone heard four new songs, which seem to draw from the past while still pushing the envelope.

Hours before reviving her long-running Monster Ball Tour in Atlantic City, New Jersey, recently, Lady Gaga gave Rolling Stone magazine a sneak peek at four songs off her upcoming Born This Way album ... and from the sound of things, she's not only pushing the boundaries, she's borrowing from some of the best in the business.
For example, E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons, who lends his prodigious skronk to a pair of the songs — "Edge of Glory" and "Hair" — or Nine Inch Nails, circa Trent Reznor's Broken era (on "Hair," which also apparently draws inspiration from '80s singer Pat Benatar's "We Belong" and the inspirational, all-encompassing lyrics of LG's own "Born This Way"). Another song, "Judas," which is set to be the second single off Born This Way, is described by Rolling Stone writer Matthew Perpetua as "a classic Lady Gaga pop banger," with a "thumping, house music breakdown" and a vocal hook "that borrows a bit of Rihanna's distinctive cadence."
"Edge" is "a massive power ballad with heavy club beats" that also contains "an element of cheesiness" and an "Eighties stadium rock vibe." "Scheiée" — a remix of which Gaga actually debuted last month at a fashion show in Paris — contains flavors of '90s dance hits by the likes of C&C Music Factory, Snap! and RuPaul, and a chorus that "vaguely" recalls Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger." And "Hair" features LG proudly proclaiming "I am my hair!" for reasons unknown.
On Friday, Gaga's "Born This Way" officially became the fastest-selling song in iTunes history, having blown past the million-download mark in just five days. The song is also #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and sits atop the charts in 23 different countries. The video is reportedly set to premiere this week.
Gaga's Born This Way album is due May 23.

Justin Bieber Is 'Really Growing Up,' Says 'Never Say Never' Director
Jon M. Chu says teen star is 'learning how to interact with people.'

MTV News first interviewed Justin Bieber in September of 2009, when the pint-size pop singer was on the cusp of breaking beyond his core audience into mainstream pop stardom. Then 15 years old and relatively new to the national media spotlight, Bieber wasn't nervous so much as generally tentative, a bit clipped and repetitive in his answers.
When Bieber walked into the MTV Newsroom earlier this month to promote the difference in his on-camera demeanor couldn't have been more different: He projected a breezy confidence, at times humorous or eye-on-the-prize focused, and was engaging throughout.
That Bieber has truly matured — not just as an artist, but as a person — isn't apparent only to those who occasionally cross his path. Jon M. Chu, who directed and began working with the singer in August, has noticed the change as well.
"With the movie and going to the Grammys and being respected on so many different levels beyond just his own fanbase, he's really growing up and learning how to interact with people," Chu said.
The director said he noted a great difference in the young star's disposition following the completion of his seven-month, 86-show tour.
"He's just had time to rest," said Chu, who started shooting "Never Say Never" as Bieber was in the midst of that nonstop North American tour. At first, Bieber was standoffish. Only gradually did the two establish a close creative partnership.
"Half of it was just me gaining trust with him because I was in his face with a camera," Chu said. "It was very much like 'Almost Famous,' where I was just on the bus and he didn't really want me there. Once we got past that, we were fine."

Rihanna-Ciara Beef Begins With Fashion Police Crack, Escalates on Twitter
You really gotta love Twitter. Celebrity feuds begin suddenly over nothing and spiral out of control for all to enjoy so efficiently in this high-tech day and age.
Today's star-studded social media beef: Ciara and Rihanna!
On Joan Rivers’ Fashion Police last night, the host was discussing with Ciara some absurd outfit Rihanna had worn (take your pick). That's when Ciara said:
IT'S SO ON: When diva singers attack with Blackberrys!
"I ran into her recently at a party and she wasn’t the nicest, and it’s crazy because I’ve always respected what she’s done with fashion and I’ve ran into her before, but this time it just wasn’t the most pleasant run-in, so ..."
That thought was completed by Rivers: "…a bitch. Next!"
No sooner had the show aired, Rihanna took to her Twitter page, fuming about the remarks, writing: "My bad ci, did I 4get to tip u? #howrudeofme."
It only got better from there ...
Not even an hour later, Ciara hit right back: “Trust me Rhianna u dont want to see me on or off the stage“ (notice the misspelt name….ouch).
Rihanna: “U gangsta huh? Haaa. Good luck with bookin that stage u speak of.“
Maybe because C didn't write back, Ri felt bad, offering the following olive branch Tweet a bit later: "Ciara baby, I love u girl! U hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I’m heartbroken! That’s y I retaliated this way! So sorry! #letsmakeup."
Ah, Twitter feuds. They start fast, but they also conclude promptly.

Justin Bieber Wax Statues: What Hairstyle Will They Have?
Madame Tussauds figures will debut in March.

This March, Justin Bieber's wax likeness will be hitting three Madame Tussauds wax museums. Outposts in London, New York and Amsterdam will all house statues of the teen pop sensation. And, since Bieber decided to have his trademark locks lopped off last weekend, fans may be wondering what kind of hairstyle the statues will feature. Well, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the likenesses will in fact sport Bieber's signature swoop.
"We have been absolutely inundated with requests from young fans from around the world to see him," Liz Edwards, head of PR at Madame Tussauds, explained. "We're sure his fans will be just as delighted as we are that Justin will be joining the A-list."
THR further reported that Bieber will be the headlining act at the museum's music zone, an interactive area that also features stars like Lady Gaga and Justin Timberlake. It's reported that Bieber sat for his statue late last year.
"We're capturing a moment in time," Bret Pidgeon, general manager of Madame Tussauds New York, told E! News about the statue. "Capturing what he looks like right now."
Pidgeon also hinted about the hair that would appear on the statue. "We're going to wait to see how the new haircut takes with the fans ... It'll be part of the excitement for the final launch day," he added, noting that Bieber will be on hand at one of the unveilings.
Reps for the museum never responded to MTV News' request for further information by press time.
"I'm honored to be getting my own wax figures," Bieber said in a press statement. "To be immortalized in wax alongside some of my idols — Michael Jackson, Prince, Beyonce and my mentor, Usher — is incredibly exciting and very cool."
A long line of other music stars also have had their likenesses cast in wax for display at Madame Tussauds locations. In the past few years, teen idols like the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift and even Lady Gaga have all received the honor from the famed institution.
Do plan to visit a Madame Tussauds to check out Justin's wax figure? Let us know in the comments.

Justin Bieber Reveals Birthday Plans, Talks Haircut
'I'm just going to relax,' singer says of his plans.
By Jocelyn Vena
We imagine what Justin will be doing on his birthday
Photo: Getty Images
Justin Bieber turns 17 on March 1, and he's revealing what his plans are for the big day.
"I only have, like, four days, so I'm just going to relax, because I start my world tour starting on [March 4] -- so just going to mentally prepare and just relax," Justin told "Entertainment Tonight." "No birthday bash. ... Hopefully my grandparents will be out here and I'll be able to spend time, a little bit, with them. My grandma makes the best cheesecake -- cherry cheesecake. She made that for my 13th birthday."
Of course, Bieber's birthday isn't the only thing making headlines these days. His new haircut has also been causing quite the hoopla, but Bieber seems to be brushing it off. "I just wanted to [cut my hair], that's all. Not really a big reason; I just woke up and said, 'I don't want this anymore,' so I just cut it," he said. "It's not really about that. You know, the fans really liked it, but they'll like me no matter what, because I think it's about the music. I'm really excited to see what the fans overseas think and take it day by day."
Bieber will re-release his 3-D flick "Never Say Never" this weekend. "It's 40 minutes of extra footage, so it's basically like a new movie," he says. "It's real exciting, because it shows me and my friends more and it shows a different part of the concert, so it's going to be great. Hopefully all the fans will go back and watch it."
Next week, in addition to his birthday, Bieber will also kick off his European tour. "I'm excited to see what [Willow Smith] brings to the table," he said. "We start on March 4, so she's really excited, and she told me that she can't wait -- and she's adorable -- so I can't wait.
"I have such great people around me and such good family," he added. "I just want to be a good role model to people, and to be able to just make good music. ... I'm going to make mistakes, but it's about learning from them and becoming better. ... My movie shows that anything is possible and dreams do come true. ... Remember to always stay humble and always be gracious and anything can happen."

The Black Eyed Peas promised a party at the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday (February 6), and the pop supernovas definitely delivered, with a performance teeming with lights, dancers and surprise appearances from celebrity pals.
Following a Chatter.com commercial that showed animated versions of the Peas showing off their social-media skills, the group kicked things off with their 2009 smash "I Gotta Feeling," descending from the ceiling on illuminated platforms onto a stage surrounded by a cluster of dancers clad in white bodysuits. The foursome led the team of fist-pumping troops in "Tron"-like getups, with Taboo sporting an outfit covered in flashing lights, will.i.am rocking a shiny hairpiece, Apl.de.ap wearing huge bright studs and Fergie vamping it up in bling-laden shoulder pads.
When the speaker-busting bass of "Boom Boom Pow" dropped, the dancers dispersed across the field to create arrow-shaped formations as the glow-in-the-dark lights on their suits illuminated the stadium. Then rumored surprise guest Slash of Guns N' Roses rose from below the stage for a "Sweet Child O' Mine" duet with Fergie. The GNR great rocked a finger-searing solo in a studded version of his signature black top hat as more angular platforms and dancers moved across the gridiron. The platforms were bearing scores of marching-band musicians who blasted their horns and pounded away on their drums as the Peas went into "Pump It" and blue lights splashed across the production.
Quick streams of fog heralded the arrival of the Peas' second surprise guest, Usher, who swooped in on a long chain to bust out his will.i.am-assisted joint "OMG." Rocking a sparkly collar on an otherwise all-white ensemble, the R&B hitmaker cranked out several counts of energetic choreography, enlivening moves from his "OMG" video and at one point jumping over Will and landing in a split.
A spray of pyro ushered in the collective's breakout 2003 hit "Where Is the Love?" as the oddly shaped platforms spelled out the word "Love" in bright-red letters. The team of dancers, which appeared to have multiplied to over 100, formed hearts across the field as will updated the lyrics of the smash with lines like, "Obama, let's get these educated."
Then the group jumped ahead to their most recent single, 2010's "The Time (Dirty Bit)," as several back up hoofers rocking cubed helmets joined the Peas onstage and dancers lined up along the gridiron to simultaneously bust out the Running Man, a move which drew cheers from the crowd.
The platinum-selling Peas wrapped up the performance with a reprise of "I Gotta Feeling," as the quartet triumphantly signed off amid of blitz of fog, firepower and flashing lights.
Ripping the halftime show was clearly a touching moment for will, who tweeted beforehand, "Me and apl started the peas when we were 16 yesterday we were dreamin now were livin it. Wow. I'm not crying out of sadness or nervousness its joy and pride and memories and the journey."
And once the crew left the stage, the frontman was not only proud, but pumped. "That was so freakin sick," he wrote. "Wow...!!!"

Angelina Jolie Bestows Gift, Hidden Message Upon Brad Pitt
It's no vial of blood, but Angelina Jolie has presented a very special gift to Brad Pitt, symbolizing their love and describing, intimately, how she feels about him:
A diamond pendant engraved with a microscopic love message.
Exactly what Angelina has written on it is a secret, its creator tells the Daily Mail: "I cannot tell you what it says, and you would need a microscope to read it."
The pendant is based on Ancient Egyptian amulets that contained hidden messages: "The technology is quite new ... The hidden message is lasered on."
UK-based jeweler Robert Procop says he's also partnering with her on a jewelery line called The Style Of Jolie. Wonder what style that is. Controlling?
What do you think the microscopic message on Brad's pendant says? We may never know for sure, but Star will come up with something good. Our ideas:
- If you so much as look at Jen I will castrate you.
- Sell this thing, feed 130 Haitian refugees.
- Angelina: One Oscar. Brad: No Oscars.
- I'm pregnant with triplets.

Lady Gaga Inspires Fans At Madison Square Garden Show
'She's god! This little monster loves her mommy!' one fan told MTV News.

On Monday night, Lady Gaga's little monsters put on their best Gaga as they headed to Madison Square Garden for Mother Monster's latest stop at the famed New York City venue, where she was making her first of two appearances. The fans were not only treated to her Monster Ball, but also got the chance to see Gaga's new single "Born This Way" live and be part of Gaga history as she taped the concert for an upcoming HBO special.
So, what stood out most? "When she gave her little speech about never letting someone tell you can't get a Grammy [or] you can't get an HBO special," Gaga fan Leanna told MTV News outside the show, moments after Gaga wrapped up. "I cried because it was just so meaningful ... it's like no one can tell me no."
Fellow fan Carey noted that Gaga is always thinking of her fans when she puts on her two-hour-plus spectacle. "I always feel like it's catered to her customers and her fans," he excitedly shared. "Go little monsters!"
Casey noted that being in the room as Gaga performed "Born This Way" was awe-inspiring. "I mean, it's her hometown and she just reenacted the Grammy performance," she said. "It's f---in' beautiful."
It seemed that particular song really resonated with the fans who came out to see Gaga. "My favorite was the last song, 'Born This Way.' To me, it's a great anthem for kids today, or anyone for that matter," Gaga fan Tony said.
Evie and her pal Cecelia also loved the finale. "I loved 'Born This Way' at the end," Evie said. "It was perfect. It was the perfect ending."
And two of Gaga's New York fans summed it up this way: "She is our religion," Danielle proclaimed. Her pal Joey agreed, adding, "She's god! This little monster loves her mommy!"

Lady Gaga Rocks Fans With Monster Ball Performance

Mother Monster might have been the one on stage Saturday night (February 19) belting out numbers at the top of her lungs, but it was the Little Monsters in the audience who reached impossibly loud volumes for their hero, Lady Gaga.
And they did it outside the arena.
"I swear it was the best show I've ever gone to!" a fan screamed to MTV News outside of Boardwalk Hall arena in Atlantic City, where Gaga had just finished her Monster Ball performance. "I was waiting for it!"
"I loved it!" fan Sandy Kutsu gushed at alarming decibels. "It was my second time!"
Generally sticking to her Monster Ball format, Gaga nevertheless had some new tricks and treats in store for her appreciative audience, including a performance of "Born This Way" ("She did 'Born This Way'!" a fan exclaimed!) during a second encore, just one day after the single was named the fastest-selling single in the history of iTunes.
"There was a little bit of new choreography, some new costuming. But other than that it was the Monster Ball we know and love," fan Stephanie Botton explained. "I was in tears at 'Born this Way.' It was absolutely great."
The biggest surprise, however, might have been Gaga's announcement during the show that she'd be back on tour next year with the "Born This Way Ball."
"How can one person do all that? I have no idea!" gushed fan Kaitlin Donahue.
For fans, the tour surely can't come quickly enough.
"She's changed my life," Botton said. "It was awesome!"
