Chateau Marmiz is opening its doors to a few more WWE stars. In this clip from Wednesday's all-new episode of Total Divas, Maryse and The Miz show off their Hollywood pad to wrestlers, Carmella and Big Cass. "Maryse really wants to make this special for you guys, she took it up a little notch," the Miz gushed. Complete with a taco truck and a new California King bed, the mansion is ready for a WWE slumber party, if you don't mind sleeping outside that is. To accommodate the big man that is Big Cass, Maryse custom-ordered a California King mattress just for Carmella and Cass' visit to the Chateau. The only problem? The bed doesn't fit in the house. "So, what I did is call...

Lady Antebellum is using the release of their new music video “Heart Break” to raise awareness and money for those in Puerto Rico affected by Hurricane Maria.
Before the Category 4 storm wreaked havoc through Puerto Rico, the seven-time Grammy winners traveled to San Juan, incorporating the Caribbean island’s colorful culture and vibrant setting into the music video for their new single.
Now, wanting to give back, the country trio have donated $200,000 to hurricane relief efforts through their charity LadyAID — which was established in 2012 to help support those in need locally, nationally and globally.

Wow.
Things got heavy on Last Man on Earth Season 3 Episode 9.
Gail is still stuck in the elevator and losing hope, while the group finally decides that Melissa is a danger to herself and others and locks her up.
There were a few positive moments, and we'll talk about them below.
But first let me just say (spoiler alert) I truly hope Gail is still alive when the show returns in the spring.
Next, let me say, I hope the T-Rex suit never goes away. It makes Tandy's ridiculousness not seem so bad.
Now, Carol is upset because Gail is still gone, and she thinks she drove her away. Tandy suggests they finally take a honeymoon.
I don't want to hear that there's no magic in this world because you David Copperfielded me, bigly.

Rihanna‘s reign won’t let up. Since she hit the scene in 2008, she’s had 13 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100—tying her with Michael Jackson for the third most No. 1 songs on the chart. And she’s achieved all this before her 27th birthday, which just so happens to be today, Feb. 20. Related: Kanye West Is Executive Producing Rihanna’s New Album While we anxiously await the release of RiRi’s next album—her eighth, oh so cleverly titled, R8—to drop, we decided to take stock of her entire career so far. From Barbadian dancehall queen to a good girl gone bad to a Beatle‘s new bestie, we’re ranking every single song she’s ever put her stamp on.

In 1978, we were enticed to go see Superman this way: You will believe a man could fly. In 2013, we have been enticed to go see Man Of Steel like this: He can walk through fire. He can melt glaciers with his eyes. He can rip through metal with his bare hands. So, how does the Man of Steel shave? Apparently with a Gillette razor. Or… Fly in for Sears Memorial Day Mattress Spectacular and get up to 60% off plus an extra 10% off mattresses over $999. Plus special financing. Plus free delivery and haul-away. This is something super. This is Sears. Does Superman prefer Sealy, Simmons, Serta, Stearns & Foster, Tempur-Pedic, or Sears’s own Sears-o-Pedic? And what size mattress – twin, full, queen, king, or California king? According to a June 3rd article in Advertising Age by Maureen Morrison, Man Of Steel had already made $160 million even before it even opened in cinemas around the world.

The Top 16 is finally revealed on the Oct. 23 episode of 'X Factor' with a shocking elimination no one saw coming! Picking up where we left off before baseball ruined everything, Demi Lovato had just told Willie Jones and Jennel Garcia the good news that they both made it through to the live shows on The X Factor. Up next, rapper Nick Youngerman — whose performance wasn't all that memorable — was sent packing to the shock of… well, no one. "I don't wanna be known as the rapping toilet cleaner for the rest of my life," he said. (Yikes! Poor kid.) Rihanna look-alike Paige Thomas was up next, and as they played "California King Bed," I noticed Paige even had the same stars inked on her neck as RiRi!

Pop star Justin Bieber has been teasing his 24 million Twitter followers all weekend with vague tweets from the set of his new video, "As Long As You Love Me," featuring Big Sean. Now, Zap2it has the exclusive details on what you can expect from the upcoming vid.
For starters, expect it to be more like a short film than a music video, similar to the shorts that Bieber's idol Michael Jackson used to produce. The video is directed by Anthony Mandler, who is best known for his frequent collaborations with Rihanna -- he directed her "California King Bed," "Man Down," "Only Girl In The World," and "Unfaithful" videos.
According to our sources, the tone of the video is modeled after Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo and Juliet" -- and we hear that Bieber has been doing a surprisingly good job of pulling off the Leo DiCaprio smolder.

"She works hard for the money," Donna Summer once sang, and just as it was the case in 1983, pop stars these days have to work their butts off to earn those album purchases, downloads and concert ticket sales in this age of YouTube, X-Box and Angry Birds.
But while some singers identify with the Protestant work ethic espoused by Donna, there are others who, as Bruno Mars puts it, “don’t feel like doing anything [and] just wanna lay in my bed.” And it’s not always only those who are hardworking who find success, as the popularity of Bruno proves. Sometimes you can have your cake and eat it.

Rihanna broke Drake's heart. The pair dated briefly in 2009 after Rihanna split with Chris Brown - following his physical assault on her - and although Drake doesn't believe he was her 'rebound guy', he admitted he thought there was more to the relationship than the California King Bed hitmaker did. He said: 'I've probably been hurt more than I've hurt someone else. [With Rihanna, I wasn't] necessarily the rebound guy. At the time it hurt, but she didn't mean to. I'll never put that on her. I was hurt because I started to slowly understand what it was. I...

This morning, as the sun streamed through the crack of the velvet blackout curtains adorning his walls, rapper Lil Wayne cracked his lil eyeballs open and thought to himself: “I am finally a man.”* (*At least in the fantasy I’m painting of him.) He slipped one foot into an overstuffed possibly still living chinchilla slipper, followed quickly by the other foot, and slid his way into the bathroom, where he took the first pee of his 29th year. Something in his sheets rustled, and he whipped his luscious dreads around, only to see five, maybe six bitches, scattered around his double wide California King. He couldn’t be bothered with that sh*t now. No, Lil Wayne had bigger fish to fry. Literally, a giant mackerel for his birthday breakfast. While his meal was lightly browning in a pan, Lw cranked up the ol’ Macbook (actually brand new) to check e-mail,...

Rihanna's lawyers are gettin' loud. The pop-r&B star has sued a real estate company, the property inspector and the former owner of a house she bought in Beverly Hills for $6.9 million, claiming that those involved with the sale failed to inform her that the residence was "laden with construction defects." And that's no place for a California king bed. Before escrow closed on the property in 2009, Larocca Inspection Associates inspected the place and found a number of issues, including cracks in the exterior walls and drainage problems on the roof that could make the house susceptible to water damage, according to the lawsuit. Rihanna apparently still wanted the house after...

One of the highlights from the Wednesday concert was the live showcase of Pia's debut single "This Time". The rumored girlfriend of Mark Ballas gave concertgoers the first listen to the Ester Dean-written single after Naima finished her solo set with a rendition of Jennifer Lopez's "On the Floor".
According to USA Today, the song starts with little more than an acoustic guitar and a simple beat. It later steadily builds to a big, singalong chorus, anchored by the lyrical hook of "This time, I'm gonna do it my way." The song will officially be released on July 12, and is...

Rihanna is 'open to love'. The California King Bed hitmaker explained while she is ready for romance, she wants a man to 'earn' her affections because she is well aware they enjoy the chase in a new relationship. She said: 'I'm open to love. But guys should have to earn it. Because the minute they get it, they want something else. 'Men are like hunters; they like the chase. So you have to keep 'em guessing. Actually, I'm like that too. I get bored quickly. So if someone can make me laugh, that's the best.' Despite her willingness to find love, the 23-year-old singer...

Rihanna is “open to love”
The ‘California King Bed’ hitmaker explained while she is ready for romance, she wants a man to “earn” her affections because she is well aware they enjoy the chase in a new relationship.
She said: “I’m open to love. But guys should have to earn it. Because the minute they get it, they want something else.
“Men are like hunters; they like the chase. So you have to keep ’em guessing. Actually, I’m like that too. I get bored quickly. So if someone can make me laugh, that’s the best.”
Despite her willingness to find love, the 23-year-old singer – who was assaulted by her then-boyfriend Chris Brown in 2009 – admitted she finds it difficult to express her softer side.

Both beauties wowed in Carlo Miele, but who wore it better? Vote!
Rihanna stepped out wearing this glamorous velvet rose-colored gown by Carlo Miele on Apr. 14th’s episode of American Idol, where she performed ‘California King Bed.’ The R&B artist blew viewers away in this halter dress, complimented perfectly by her neutral make-up and firey waves.
We also weren’t surprised to see model Selita Ebanks rocking the same gorgeous mile-long frock at the Samsung Hope for Children Gala in NYC on Jun. 7. While Selita’s athletic, toned body looks totally hot, her accessories and hair just don’t make the cut!
I’m not crazy about Rihanna’s infamous red ‘do, but I have to say that the dress compliments her and looks like it was designed especially for the Barbados-native beauty!
Who do you think looked the most glam?

Pitbull has notched up a third week at pole position on the UK singles chart with 'Give Me Everything'. The rapper's team-up with Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer fought off rising rivals Aloe Blacc's 'I Need A Dollar' and Alexandra Stan's 'Mr Saxobeat' to retain the number one spot. Outside the top five, DJ Alex Gaudino claims his fourth Top 10 hit in as many years, as well as the week's highest new entry, with his Kelly Rowland collaboration 'What A Feeling' at six, just outdoing Rihanna's 'California King Bed', which leaps to eight from last Sunday's 20.

Rihanna may legally semi-forgive -- and even follow on Twitter -- but as is clear in her new video, she doesn't easily forget.
Or so it seems, anyway.
Years after her disgusting beating at the hands of ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, the Barbadian popstar released her newest music video on Tuesday, for the violent single "Man Down." The video gives quite a literal interpretation of the lyrics, featuring her, while living on a Caribbean island, getting abused by a boyfriend -- and then taking the ultimate revenge.
The song has a sort of law and order beat to it, the desperation and sadness in her voice obvious. It's an interesting counterpoint to her recently released video ballad, "California King Bed," which focuses on the much more hopeful side of love.

We're seeing a darker side of Rihanna in her just-released music video for " Man Dow n" -- when she shoots a man after he assaults her. The video stars with the sudden shooting, then goes back in time to explain the singer's motives.

After the video premiered, Rihanna took to her Twitter , writing "Young girls/women all over the world...we are a lot of things! We're strong innocent fun flirtatious vulnerable, and sometimes our innocence can cause us to be naïve! We always think it could Never be us, but in reality, it can happen to Any of us!

New Yorkers were treated to two major concerts on Friday, May 27 as part of summer festivity kick-offs. Lady GaGa stopped by Rumsey Playfield in Central Park to open "Good Morning America" concert series, and Rihanna went to Rockefeller Center for "Today" show.
GaGa had a five-song set on "Gma". Wearing white cloak on top of red and black bodysuit, she made a grand entrance by ziplining her way into the venue while singing her hit single "Bad Romance". She traded the outfit with a sheer cheetah-print-like bodysuit and a spiky jacket for the next performance, "The Edge of Glory".
For the third single "Judas", GaGa ditched the black spiky ensemble with a gold sequin jacket. Next for "Born This Way", she wore gold Viking horns, but only before she took a dip in a tank full of black water. Closing the outdoor party, the Mother Monster slowed down with an...

Rihanna has teamed up once again with director Anthony Mandler for the singer's forthcoming "Man Down" video. Having just released their sun-drenched, dreamy clip for "California King Bed," the duo will shift gears for this video.
"We've done 16 videos together; they're not all tough," Mandler said when asked about what fans can expect from the new clip. " 'If I Never See Your Face Again,' 'Hate That I Love You,' 'Take a Bow'... Yeah, I mean, I'm known for the 'Disturbia's and the 'Russian Roulette's and things like that, but 'Only Girl (In the World)' is certainly an ethereal kind of empowering, beauty-filled video and what we're coming with next ... is certainly gonna flip people's minds with 'Man Down.'

Need to find Rihanna? You could search the beaches of California, swimming in a sea of sheets and linen. The Barbadian singer is pushing her sixth single from "Loud," "California King Bed," and she's slowing it down and popping it up for the adult top 40 crowd. It's like Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry," in musical and video direction. It's replete with shirtless lovers (and in Fergie's case, it was Milo Ventimiglia, oh hello), rolling around in bed all day like they don't have jobs, a regrettable break, a hint of that '90s "Water Runs Dry" nostalgia factor and references to...
