Linkin Park have just made public a music video for their new single "Waiting for the End". The band's members are featured in individual shots in a dark room with interlocking grids framing their whole body.

"Waiting for the End" appears in Linkin Park's latest No. 1 album "A Thousand Suns" which arrived in stores last month. Music video for the track is directed by DJ Joe Hahn, the band's member who has worked on many of Linkin Park's clips including "The Catalyst".

Michael Jackson and pop punk Pink have been named the best solo artists of all time in a new online survey. The late "Thriller" hitmaker beat Justin Timberlake and Bob Marley, who came second and third respectively, to land the top male singer accolade in the MySpace.com poll.

In the female category, Pink triumphed over Lady GaGa, Madonna and Britney Spears as the number one pop princess, while rockers AC/DC were lauded as the best band. They were closely followed by Nirvana and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were spotted on a date night again, marking their third date in a week. Hollywood Life reported that the hush-hush couple spent their Tuesday night, October 5 together at L.A.'s famous Troubadour music venue.

Insiders told the site that no one recognized Robert and Kristen that night as they all enjoyed Jenny and Jhonny's performance, despite Troubadour's tiny venue. One source said, "It's very easy for people to blend in which they did amazingly well. Almost nobody recognized the two while they were there."

Outlandish singer Lady GaGa overcame crippling shyness to launch her career as a world famous pop star, according to her first manager. Bob Leone says he first met the "Just Dance" hitmaker at an open mic night when she was 13 or 14 years old and went by her given name, Stefani Germanotta.

He worked with GaGa for several years and managed her for six months in 2006, overseeing her transformation. He tells People.com, "It was a very important six months because going into it, she was Stefani, and she was still writing pop music. By the end of that six-month period, she was officially Lady GaGa."

The Ting Tings singer Katie White has opened up after canceling the band's North American tour due to illness, insisting she knew the duo should have "stopped earlier". White and bandmate Jules de Martino were forced to scrap their trek last December after the singer was diagnosed with exhaustion, stemming from the group's manic schedule.

The star admits she was reluctant to stop performing any earlier for fear of letting their fans down - but White knew when her body had had enough. She tells Britain's The Sun, "I was so tired and lost so much weight. I kept getting chest infections and I was on antibiotics and steroids. My body was like, 'Okay, screw you, you've pushed me too hard'."

British band Take That have secretly filmed their reunion with Robbie Williams for a new movie documentary, according to a U.K. report. The "Angels" hitmaker quit the boy band in 1995 to pursue a solo career, and stunned fans earlier this year when he announced he would reunite with his former group for an album and 2011 tour.

The newly reformed five-piece let the cameras into their lives to document the reunion and the film will be hitting the big screen in the U.K. this Christmas. According to Britain's The Sun, the movie will reportedly show the band in the studio, as well as more personal aspects of their lives, such as how bandmember Mark Owen dealt with the revelations about his affairs and drinking problems earlier this year.

It's official, Lee DeWyze's upcoming debut album is called "Live It Up" and confirmed to be released in the United States on November 16. The first single, which is the title track, is scheduled to make its radio debut on Ryan Seacrest's radio show next week on October 13.

Rapper Kanye West has taken aim at troubled actress Lindsay Lohan, insisting her style collection for Emanuel Ungaro put him off launching his own fashion range. The "Mean Girls" star, who is currently in rehab in California, designed a line for the French fashion house last year, but her creations were mauled by critics when they hit the runway, and she later quit her creative consultant post at the company.

West has branded Lohan's disastrous line the fashion equivalent of the September 11 terrorist attacks, and he admits the reaction to the star's range made him axe his own clothing venture Past Tell, which was due to hit stores in 2009.

Two clips from the upcoming episode of "Bored to Death" have been released. In one clip, Jonathan is threatened and hung upside down by two men from S & M who kidnapped him to find out about their stolen hard drive's whereabout.

The episode is called "The Gowanus Canal Has Gonorrhea!" and airs this Sunday, October 10. George worries about remaining "intact" after getting some sobering news from his new urologist, Dr. Kenwood. The S & M henchmen who kidnap Jonathan demand a ransom which calls "GI" George & Ray to action.

Miley Cyrus has just debuted a music video in support of her latest single "Who Owns My Heart". Despite all the criticisms she received over her new sexy image, the "Hannah Montana" star continues to go loud in showing her mature side in this newly-debuted clip.

Waking up from a seemingly tight sleep, the 17-year-old pop singer is writhing on the bed in her undies. The temptation to go partying is so unbearable that she rushes to the bathroom and gets her make-up done. She rocks out the night in sexy outfit, grinding on male and female clubbers.

Soccer ace David Beckham has taken a pay cut of almost $3 million after his company's profits plunged. New figures for Footwork Productions show that turnover has fallen from $23.2 million in 2005 to $17.1 million this year.

The Los Angeles Galaxy star paid himself a salary of $16.2 million in 2009 but due to the decline in profits, he received only $13.5 million this year, according to documents obtained by Britain's Daily Mirror. But, despite a drop in worth of $37.5 million, Beckham is still valued at $150 million.

Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson are not going to collaborate in foreseeable future. Despite report that the "A Few Good Men" actors would reunite in "El Presidente", a rep for Cruise says the rumor is not true while a rep for the vet star tells Gossip Cop that he is not doing the film.

The Cruise-and-Nicholson-reunion rumor for "El Presidente" was first brought into attention by Los Angeles Times. The site claimed that the "Knight & Day" hunk is attached to take a role as a Secret Service agent in the upcoming film while Nicholson is offered "the presidential part".

Katherine Heigl came to L.A.'s KTLA morning show on Thursday morning, October 7, admitting that she has an "image problem." The New York Times article recently stated that Heigl is known as the not-the-best spokeswoman for herself "by being honest in interviews" and called her "unwilling diva" while the actress commented, "Yeah, I think that was fair."

Though Heigl claimed she deserved the perception of her being too honest for Hollywood, she added, "It's something that I spent a lot of time the last year thinking about and figuring out. My career is important to me and I'm really passionate about trying to keep it... I don't want to be the person digging my own grave."

Actress Halle Berry has been slammed by a top politician in Poland for her high level of security on a recent trip to the country. The "Monster's Ball" star visited Warsaw earlier this month to launch her new perfume Reveal.

The actress is said to have had an armed police escort to take her around the country's capital and senior MP Edward Siarka has reacted with fury at claims Berry's entourage sped through a red light during her trip. He tells Britain's Daily Star, "Anyone would have thought this was a president late for a meeting with The Queen."

British funnyman Russell Brand is set to avoid charges over his recent arrest in Los Angeles. The comic was detained by police at Los Angeles International Airport last month following an alleged clash with a photographer. He was charged with battery and released on $20,000 bail.

Brand insisted he was defending fiancee Katy Perry from an over-zealous snapper but American immigration officials revealed they were investigating the situation and could revoke his visa over the incident. But the "Get Him to the Greek" star looks likely to avoid charges if he attends a court hearing along with the paparazzo on November 19, to receive a reprimand from a judge.

Sir Sean Connery and his wife Micheline have reportedly been summoned to testify in a Spanish court in relation to a property scandal in the country. A property company linked to the former "James Bond" star and his wife allegedly failed to pay $2 million in tax on the sale of development rights to land on the outskirts of Malaga.

In May, Connery was named in a money-laundering investigation stemming from the sale of a seaside villa just east of Marbella, a coastal town close to Malaga. The actor was said to have sold the property for $9 million in 1999 and it was knocked down and replaced by a complex with 72 apartments - despite laws dictating only five homes could be constructed at the site.

Paul Rudd may commit to be all out for his role in "WanderLust", but he probably will not show his asset in front of co-star Jennifer Aniston. According to E! Online, the actor will use a prosthetic penis to film his nude scenes in the film.

"It's so funny," former Hollywood publicist Jonathan Jaxson, who was on the scene in Clarkesville, Ga., says about the fake organ as quoted by the site. "Everyone has been joking about his prosthetic penis."

"Lost" is not really dead after all. The cult sci-fi series will be honored at Spike TV's annual Scream Awards later this month, in a segment called "Farewell Tribute to Lost". Stars like Jorge Garcia, Harold Perrineau, Henry Ian Cusick as well as producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof will be reunited for the first time since the series ended in May.

The mentioned names are only few who have been confirmed for attendance but according to the press release, there would be more cast members to be announced soon. There will be pyrotechnics and filmed tribute during the honor. A video has been released to promote the segment, featuring Dr. Pierre Chang in his Dharma lab coat chugging on a 40 and introducing a Scream-viewing facility named The Tube.

Kanye West is branching out into footwear design once again - he's launching his own line of loafers with shoemakers Stubbs and Wooton. The "Gold Digger" rapper previously collaborated with bosses at Nike for his Air Yeezy sports shoe, and has even designed footwear for Louis Vuitton.

And now he's signed a deal to collaborate with designers at Stubbs and Wooton, known for their European-styled crested slippers and loafers. Stubbs and Wootton owner Percy Steinhart tells the New York Post, "We were honored that he approached us to do something together. We do a lot of crests. And (Kanye) loves crests." The line is scheduled hit shelves next spring next year.

Rapper Drake has been forced to keep security close by wherever he goes after a few "scary" encounters with fans and members of the public. The "Best I Ever Had" hitmaker has enjoyed a rapid rise to fame since signing to Lil Wayne's Young Money record label, but he is still adjusting to his changing lifestyle.

In an interview with U.S. newswoman Katie Couric, he says, "I must say that it is all surreal to me on a daily basis... I remember it like yesterday that I used to drive by myself in my Acura and was able to go anywhere, to the mall by myself. The way you end up missing anonymity is very interesting."

Singer/songwriter Ian Morris has passed away. He was 53. The frontman of Th' Dudes died in Napier, New Zealand on Thursday, October 7. No further information was available as WENN went to press.

Rapper B.G. has been hit with a $150,000 lawsuit from his neighbours in Louisiana after allegedly filming a video on their property without permission. The hip-hop star, a former member of Bryan 'Baby' Williams' Hot Boyz group, reportedly shot the promo for "My Hood" on his street without the appropriate city permits.

Shyrl Patterson Bagneris and John Bagneris filed documents in the Eastern District Louisiana court alleging the rapper, real name Christopher Dorsey, trespassed on their property with a film crew of more than 40 people. The couple sent a cease and desist letter to Dorsey at the time but allege the rapper ignored the warning and continued to promote the video without the proper authorization.

Ozzy Osbourne has blasted religious leaders in Kansas for using the lyrics to his song "Crazy Train" to promote messages of hate and evil. The rocker was appalled when he learned that members of the Westboro Baptist Church had paraphrased lyrics from the song at a post-Supreme Court hearing press conference in Washington, D.C. - after telling reporters the U.S. deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq are "punishment for America's tolerance of homosexuality and abortion".

He says, "I am sickened and disgusted by the use of Crazy Train to promote messages of hate and evil by a church."

Johnny Depp made a spectacular leap to the top of a newly-released Entertainment Weekly's Power List. Topping the 50 Most Powerful Entertainers list, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star was joined by controversial singer Lady GaGa who secured the runner-up place.

"Depp's career has been a long, strange trip - and ending up the most powerful actor in Hollywood is the weirdest twist of all," the mag explained. "He's rarely followed the standard playbook, choosing roles as misfits (Edward Scissorhands, Gilbert Grape) and oddballs (Ed Wood, Ichabod Crane) over the usual romantic leads and action heroes."

R&B singer Chris Brown bears no grudge against Usher after plans for a joint tour fell apart over the summer and still hopes to "work something out" for the future. Record producer Bryan-Michael Cox, who created hits for both stars, made a premature announcement in August when he took to the internet and claimed the pair was teaming up for a new trek.

The "Kiss Kiss" hitmaker fueled the rumors by asking fans' opinions about a possible double tour on his Twitter.com blog, only for Usher's management to shoot down the reports, insisting, "There are no plans for Usher and Brown to tour together." Brown has now told of his disappointment about the cancellation in an interview with New York's Hot 97 radio station, but he is adamant there was no fall out between the singers.

John Malkovich is hoping to return to Istanbul, Turkey with a new opera featuring a local critic's harsh review of the actor's last production in the city. The "Being John Malkovich" star was floored by the criticism of The Infernal Comedy, in which he starred as part of the 17th International Istanbul Theatre Festival this summer - but he has derived something positive out of it.

The theatre critic's review will be part of a new opera, "The Malkovich Torment", which the actor hopes to take back to Istanbul next year. He tells WENN, "I was sent this one review and I really regretted that decision because I so enjoyed doing it (The Infernal Comedy). I was doing a second opera this summer called The Music Critic at Julian Rachlin's film festival in Dubrovnik and the concept was to get all the most horrific reviews on Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy, Mozart, Bach etc. and read these terrible, terrible reviews and then play the piece."

Rumor has it, Christopher Nolan's third "Batman" film will feature Killer Croc as the villain. The rumor surfaces after there was a report that the movie will be shot in New Orleans and comics writer Mark Millar tweeted, "Oh, wait. Con gossip: I know who the villain(s) are in Batman 3 and the big scene outside Gotham sounds awesome. Totally timely locale."

Slash Film then connects the dots, suggesting that Killer Croc is the one hinted by Millar because the deformed crocodile wrestler resides at the Louisiana swamps. Additionally, Miller claimed, "One of the villains is from my favourite childhood run on the character," which would fit Killer Croc since it first appeared in 1983, when the author was still a teen.

Now that Derek knows Meredith had a miscarriage, it looks like baby will still be an issue for the couple. In "Can't Fight Biology", things are hostile on all fronts when a visit to the obstetrician results in some disturbing news for Meredith and Derek.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the British singer who made a duet with GaGa on the stage of this year's Grammy Awards stated further, "This is the new 'I Will Survive.' That was the gay anthem. This is the new gay anthem. Actually, it's not a gay anthem - it can apply to anybody."

Rocker Vince Neil has one less thing to worry about - an assault investigation surrounding an alleged attack on a woman in a Las Vegas elevator has been dropped due to insufficient evidence. Jessica Radowicz filed a police report claiming she was manhandled by the rocker when she recognized him in an elevator at the Hilton resort over America's Labor Day weekend, September 5, and the alleged altercation left her shaken up and bruised.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officials launched an investigation but have now closed the case, insisting surveillance video doesn't support the alleged victim's story.

U.S. reality TV star Tila Tequila has lost her legal fight to stop release of a sex tape she made with a boyfriend several years ago - a judge has rejected her request for an injunction. According to TMZ, the star, real name Tila Nguyen, filed for an injunction to stop the release of the explicit video, made during a holiday with a boyfriend more than seven years ago.

Ewing in the hit 1980s TV show, took action against company bosses in May 2009 after an unspecified incident with his Citigroup accounts and a life insurance policy he purchased through the bank.

He accused Citigroup executives of a breach of fiduciary duty, a breach of contract, fraud by misrepresentation and omission, failure to supervise and violation of federal and state law. He filed for damages of $1.35 million but was given the inflated amount after arbitrators at independent securities regulator FINRA found Citigroup heads had "engaged in serious misconduct", therefore qualifying Hagman to receive punitive damages too.

Justin Timberlake has snapped up a new high-security New York home in a bid to hide out from the paparazzi when he's in the city. The "SexyBack" singer already owns a condo in the Big Apple's Tribeca district - but the building only has a part-time doorman and photographers frequently lurk outside to catch the singer entering and exiting with his actress girlfriend Jessica Biel.

But Timberlake appears to have had enough - he's put the condominium up for sale with a listing price of $5.25 million and has already purchased a more private residence in Manhattan's Greenwich Village where he can come and go as he pleases.

But the star's attorney, John Balestriere, argues the actress was seriously underpaid and was not properly compensated for the hours of work she put in recording the voice of the hugely popular Latina character. In the lawsuit, filed in New York's Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday, October 6, it is also alleged that Sanchez, who was paid $5,115 per episode, was given a "meager travel stipend of $40 a day", despite being expected to fly around the U.S. to promote the cartoon.

Ke$ha was bored, so she spent her spare time to film an alternate version of her latest single "Take It Off" and recently premiered it for fans. The "Tik Tok" hitmaker throws a party for the freaks with all glow in the dark paint, scantily dressed dancers and elements of weird.

"Heyy to all my fans! sooooo....me n my friends were bored and we were really channeling some 80s hard (tron, David Bowie in labrynth, revenge of the nerds) and we made this new video for take it off. It was really fun to make," she wrote in an accompanying message.

Emma Stone was so anxious after landing her first lead role in "Easy A", she broke out in blemishes and transformed into a "lunatic". The actress has previously had supporting parts in comedies such as "Superbad" and "The House Bunny" and was delighted after landing the starring turn in the teen comedy, in which she plays a student who pretends to lose her virginity.

But the 21 year old admits the stress of the project took its toll on her. Stone tells Britain's Empire magazine, "I put a large amount of pressure on myself while we were shooting it. I was a lunatic. I broke out all over my face and turned into this crazy person. But I am so insanely grateful that this happened."

The rocker last month reached the top of the U.K. charts with his latest album "Going Back", a compilation of his take on classic Motown hits, but he's shrugged off suggestions he only recorded the project after running out of new ideas for original material.

He tells the Associated Press, "For me, it's not an album that suggests that I'm drying up. I mean, there was a review that I saw for a Peter Gabriel album. The reviewer said that it's what normally happens when artists get to a certain age, they start drying up with material and they start to cover other people's material."

Rihanna ensures she's never left red-faced on the red carpet by texting her pop star pals Katy Perry and Lady GaGa to find out if their outfits will clash.

Rihanna explains, "My worst nightmare would be a clash on the red carpet, so we all text each other before to make sure. We're all kind of fearless with fashion. So Katy and I speak all the time about what we're going to wear. And Gaga."
