Cover art for Rihanna's new single "Wait Your Turn" has been found, featuring her topless like what she did for "Russian Roulette" artwork. However, this new picture does not include metal chain and barbed wires but sees her donning ragged jeans and covering her breasts only with her left arm.

Written by The-Dream, "Wait Your Turn" was previously referred to as "The Wait Is Ova" and is used as a promotional song for Rihanna's forthcoming studio project "Rated R". Its music video is directed by Anthony Mandler and has been premiered earlier this month.

Taylor Swift laid bare the issues that paparazzi keep hounding her for in the monologue she did for "Saturday Night Live". She took a jab at Kanye West who interrupted her MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech, Joe Jonas who broke her up over the phone and the media who questions her relationship with Taylor Lautner. The country singer did it all in the best way she knows it, singing.

She began by making fun of herself, saying that when she feels excited about something, she writes a song about it. So it became "The Monologue Song (La La La)" where Swift sang "You might think I'd bring up Joe, that guy who broke up with me on the phone/ Hey, Joe, I'm doing real well, tonight I'm hosting 'SNL' "

"A Christmas Carol (2009)" has brought holiday cheer all the way to the top of the North American box office. Opened in theaters across the country on Friday, November 6 with nearly $9 million in its pocket, the 3-D movie from Walt Disney Pictures went on to collect an estimated total of $31 million over the weekend, knocking off former champion "This Is It".

Although winning over the Michael Jackson's documentary, this Robert Zemeckis' movie didn't score an opening number as big as what Disney was hoping for. It also opened below 2000's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", the previous holiday movie in which Jim Carrey also toplined and bowed to $55.1 million. Still, it scored better than "Polar Express", which had an opening weekend of $23.5 million.

Starring as protective and romantic vampire Edward Cullen in drama-romance-thriller "Twilight", Robert Pattinson says he is completely unromantic off screen. "I can't think of a single romantic thing that I've ever done," so he confessed while promoting the highly anticipated "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" in Los Angeles on Friday, November 6.

"I would never serenade someone to be romantic - you have to have so much balls to do that," stated the British actor. "I put a flower in someone's locker when I was 15 years old, this girl called Maria. She thought that it was someone else and the other guy claimed it as well, which is great."

Publicly confirming his sexual orientation earlier this year, Adam Lambert says he pays no attention to the negative comments addressed to him. "I tried not to pay attention to the negative reaction because that's a waste of my energy," he is quoted as telling the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

"There were a couple of people who felt turned off by that," he goes on stating. "Quite frankly, if my sexuality is enough to deter you from the art that I'm creating, then you probably shouldn't be my fan anyway, because I'm looking to create fun music that's entertaining and sometimes makes you want to dance."

Lady GaGa gives away a snippet of her "Bad Romance" music video during an appearance in German TV show "Wetten, Dass..?" Saturday, November 7. In the sneak peek, she is seen sporting a white outfit and struggling to free herself from the grip of two females.

The video is scheduled to come out in full on November 9 on Lady GaGa's official website. "We worked with Francis Lawrence, he's a movie director, and he almost never does music videos anymore, and I'm really impressed, even with myself - it's so amazing," the singer told Rolling Stone about the video shoot.
