Rihanna Gets Her Twerk On In "Pour It Up" Music Video

Yes, you read that right. After all, why should Miley Cyrus have all the fun? Rihanna dropped her music video for "Pour It Up" and showcased her own twerking skills for all to bare witness to. 

The video is delightfully raunchy. There's plenty of pole dancing, booty shaking, and money throwing to go around. 

Rihanna promoted the music video by posting sneak peeks on her Instagram account (@BadGalRiRi).

Don't believe it? Behold the madness for yourself.

Watch the music video below, but be warned. It's definitely NSFW.

Rumor Has It: Miley Cyrus Pregnant By Juicy J

Controversial publicity is turning into Miley Cyrus' best color. The singer/actress recently dealt with new rumors: She's allegedly pregnant with rapper Juicy J's baby.

Of course she isn't really pregnant… And the rumors quickly died down the next morning, especially after Cyrus joked about it. She tweeted: "Waking up to the news that I'm now pregnant with @therealjuicyj baby."

She later tweeted: "Me: 'Did you know I'm pregnant with @therealjuicyj baby this morning,' @CheyneThomas: 'What are you gonna name it?' Me: 'Juicy J Jr DUH.'"

So, another rumor laid to rest.

What does Liam Hemsworth think of it? He's heard the rumors and doesn't believe them. Actually, an insider told HollywoodLife he doesn't care and is focused on his own freedom and career.

It's only a matter of years until Hemsworth will stop being asked Miley-related questions. Sadly for him, that year is not this one.

AEG Wins Court Case Against Michael Jackson's Family

After five months of heated court talk, concert promotion company AEG Live was found not negligent in Michael Jackson's death. 

The late singer's mother Katherine Jackson and her three grandchildren (Prince, Paris, and Blanket) sued the company in 2010. They asserted that AEG's decision to hire Dr. Conrad Murray was negligent and ultimately led to the pop star's death.

AEG sees it differently. The company claims it was not responsible in hiring Dr. Murray, and that Jackson himself wanted him as his doctor.

Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter back in 2011, when he gave Jackson a lethal dose of propofol. He is expected to be released later this month after a two-year sentence. The jury found AEG responsible for hiring the doctor, but not on grounds that he was unfit to perform the duties he was hired for.

The family has not yet said if they will appeal the verdict.

Big Sean Engaged To Naya Rivera

After about six months of dating, rapper Big Sean and "Glee" actress Naya Rivera are engaged! The couple started talking over Twitter and later made their first public debut at a movie premiere for "42." The rest, as they say, is history.

As a couple, they collaborated on Rivera's debut single, "Sorry," which played on Los Angeles radio station Power 106.

Check out her new rock here!

Congratulations to this adorable couple! And to think it all started over social media...

Nicki Minaj Shoots Down "One-Night Stand" With Zac Efron Rumors

The most unlikely of pairs were brought together after Mstars reported they hooked up back in July at her place in West Hollywood… And he was the best she ever had.

Okay, a few things are automatically suspicious when a rumor like this one comes up. 

First of all, Nicki Minaj is with her longtime boyfriend Safaree.

Second, Efron was in rehab for cocaine and heroine addiction earlier this year.

Third, it just doesn't sound the least bit likely.

Minaj responded on - What else? - Twitter, saying: "Who exactly is Zac Efron tho? I'm sorry, I'm so confused." Welp, looks like another ridiculous rumor has just been executed.
