  The "I Will Always Love You" singer - who tragically passed away on February 11th - was honored with a tribute led off by comedian Whoopi Goldberg, who said, "I adored Whitney Houston. What all performers want and need and should get is love, and many of us here loved Whitney, and even if you're one of those who didn't show the love to Whitney, now is your chance, because tonight, that's what we're doing: We're going to be giving Whitney the greatest love of all."

  With John Legend performing "Greatest Love of All" followed by Jordin Sparks belting out "I Will Always Love You", the stage efforts were followed by speeches - as Whitney's sister-in-law, Pat Houston, said, "This is truly an honor. We thank you, Billboard; we thank you, Whoopi, Jordin; we love you, John. But tonight, the one person that should be accepting this award is the one person that Whitney loved most."

  Pat then passed the spotlight over to Whitney's daughter, Bobbi Kristina,who kept her message short and sweet while saying, "I just really want to say thank you to everyone who supported us through it all. Thank you so much for showing that much love, 'cause she deserved it. There will never be another one, ever. I thank you so much."

Kristen Stewart: My Life Is Pretty Easy

Kristen Stewart


   The previews for the upcoming film "Snow White and the Huntsman" show a world that's much darker than Disney's 1937 animated classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." There's no sign of singing dwarfs, and especially no prim princess wearing a sweet little frock. This Snow White gallops on horses while wearing armor, and if she has to wear a dress, it's going to be dark. So as director Rupert Sanders explains, one young actress, known for her slightly rebellious attitude, was a perfect fit for the role: "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart. "[This Snow White's] not a damsel in distress relying on the handsome prince to save her," Sanders reveals to Elle in a new interview with Stewart, 22. "She's someone who bonds the men together to reclaim the kingdom. And Kristen was exactly what she personified: tough, independent, resilient."

  Stewart, who's also fiercely private, particularly about her romantic relationship with "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson, has been acting for more than a decade. Audiences first took notice of her in 2002's "The Panic Room," where she played Jodie Foster's daughter. And while she's pretty open about her dislike of the fame that comes along with her profession, she still really loves her craft. "Laurence Olivier was asked, 'Actors, what's the impulse? Why?'

  The image Stewart chooses to present in the Elle photo shoot, which was done by Tom Munro, is that of both a glam Hollywood siren (think Angelina) and a dapper leading man. She posed in designs from high-fashion brands like Gucci, Prabal Gurung, Balenciaga, and Tom Ford. However, one of her accessories was noticeably missing. It was the gold ring she's been spotted wearing on her index finger that's rumored to be from R.Pattz. "Everyone wants to know," she says of the ring. "Everyone knows already — it's ridiculous."

  Though Stewart's normally not one for smiling very much, she admits that she's had a pretty good life. The L.A. native confesses that, at times, she even thinks it's been too easy. "You can learn so much from bad things" Stewart says. "I feel boring. I feel like, Why is everything so easy for me? I can't wait for something crazy to f---ing happen to me. Just life.  Do you know what I mean?" She adds, "It's one of the reasons I want to act. I love living in different worlds, because a lot of times mine is pretty nice and easy."

  As for the movie, the "Men In Black" sequel is set to open in theaters Memorial Day weekend and has faced many marketing challenges since it’s last film was released more than 10 years ago.

  "With something like 'Men in Black,' a sequel is actually more difficult than the original," said Walter Parkes, who has produced all three of the films. "The challenge is to be fresh and original but also deliver on the core values of the franchise."

  Sony pictures is confident that the star power of Smith, along with Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin, will help the opening succeed.

Bobby Brown Plays Tribute to Whitney in "Tonight Show" Performance

  Bobby Brown became world famous as part of New Edition, and last night (May 16) Bobby Brown was once again flying solo on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

  The "My Prerogative" singer gave a high-energy performance of his brand new single "Don't Let Me Die," a tribute to his late ex-wife Whitney Houston.

  And from the lyrics, it was obvious that Brown is having a hard time dealing with the " I Will Always Love You" songstress' death.

  Bobby sang, “I don't know how to live without you . I need you here.I guess I messed up pretty bad . I didn't know who you were . I didn’t know what we had. Now I’m stuck living in the past, trying to get the pieces back / But I guess now you're gone."

More Shirtless, Tattooed Tom Cruise Photos in W Magazine

  For those who were left salivating after seeing Tom Cruise shirtless and tattooed on the June cover of W last week, there's more! The magazine has released three new photos, which show the actor — sporting long hair and fake ink — putting on his best rock star poses to promote his upcoming movie musical, "Rock of Ages." In the film, which is based on the mega-hit Broadway play, he plays Stacee Jaxx, a sleazy '80s-era rock star that's part Axel Rose, part Bret Michaels — but with Cruise's own special spin. After learning how to play guitar and training with the Guns N' Roses singer's vocal coach for weeks, "I was thinking about the character, and I said, 'You know what? I need a monkey,'" Cruise, 49, tells the magazine in its June issue. "Adam [Shankman, the film's director] said, "What the f--k are you talking about?' And I said, 'I'm serious — I need a monkey.' When Stacee's not onstage, he's kind of sad. And I thought this guy has to have a monkey that's his best friend."

Tom Cruise

  After an extensive casting search for Cruise's primate co-star, Shankman found the perfect match: a baboon. But it had to meet the star's approval first. "He sent me the baboon's audition tape," Cruise adds with a laugh, "and I said, 'The baboon's name has to be Hey Man.' Stacee Jaxx doesn't work without Hey Man."

  As for his character's sweet moves, Cruise didn't need too much practice. After all, he already showed us in 1983's "Risky Business" that he can bust it out, and even that memorable scene — in which the then-20-year-old actor danced around the house in his underwear and socks — was not much of a challenge. "I would sing Bob Seger — my mother worked, my sisters were out, and I'd turn the music up," he says. "I learned how to dance watching 'Soul Train.' I noticed that if a guy could dance, he'd get a lot of attention and girls would want to dance with him. I worked very hard at imitating those moves."

Tom Cruise

  Obviously, those moves helped him snag his wife, Katie Holmes. In fact, it was her love of musicals that inspired Cruise to want to star in one. And it was their 6-year-old daughter Suri's obsession with "Hairspray" (he says they watched it 15 times in a row) that first got Cruise interested in working with its director, Shankman. "So I arranged to meet him and said, 'Where's our musical?'" Cruise tells W. "He came back and said, 'Rock of Ages.' We went and saw it in L.A." — and the rest is history.

Lady Antebellum's Dave Haywood Ties The Knot

  After five years of friendship, seven months of dating and four months of engagement, Lady Antebellum's Dave Haywood has tied the knot!

  Numerous guests of the big day took to their Twitter pages sending best wishes to the newlyweds, including country trio "Mockingbird Sun," who wrote, "The Dave Haywood/Kelli Cashiola wedding was awesome. Like a movie. Wish them the very best!"

  Another fellow guest, Kyle Key, tweeted, "Back from secret wedding location. What a wedding! The whole thing was straight out of a movie. Congrats Dave and Kelli!"
  Now that the nuptials are done, the honeymoon is on the horizon! Of the plans, one source explained, "Lady Antebellum is off the rest of the month, so they will be honeymooning during this time."

  Haywood popped the question last December with a gorgeous sparkler after showing up unexpectedly to the 29 year-old VP of marketing/brand management for Warner Music Nashville's office. He then drove her home blind-folded to the front of her house - which had "Will You Marry Me?" spelled out in Christmas lights.

  This is the second recent wedding for the band, as Lady Antebellum singer, Hillary Scott, married drummer Chris Tyrell in January.

Bobby Brown: I'm "Not the Reason" Behind Whitney Houston's Death

  News come from online.Thank you for your reading.

  In his first interview since his ex-wife’s death, Bobby Brown sat down with the "Today Show's" host, Matt Lauer to say, "I'm not the reason she's gone."

  The R&B singer vividly opened up to say that he’s "very much clean and sober from narcotics," and tells Lauer about the last time he saw Whitney Houston and how he reacted when he found out about her death.

  The 54-year-old host confronted Brown about the public's speculation that he is the reason the late singer's life took a turn for the worse, and he responds, "It makes me feel terrible."

  "If anyone ever knew us, if anybody ever spent time around us instead of time looking through the bubble, they would know how we felt about each other," he added. “They would know how happy we were together."

  Lauer asked Brown about the last time he saw Houston, which was about a week before she died, and he said, "he had this glow about her that was just, you know, incredible. I'm saying to myself, you know, 'She must be ... she must be doing really well,' because she looked really well."

  Adding that he thought she was in a "good place."The two were married for 15 years and he claims that he was not the one who introduced her to narcotics, saying, "I didn't get high [on narcotics] before I met Whitney," Brown said. "I smoked weed, I drank the beer, but no, I wasn't the one that got Whitney on drugs at all."

  He added that it was painful to see her suffering and eventually lose her life as a result of the drug use.

  "I was hurt. I was hurt ... because, you know, me being off of narcotics for the last seven years, I felt that she was, you know, I didn't know she was struggling with it still. But at the same time, you know, listen, it's a hard fight. It's a hard fight to, you know, maintain sobriety that way."

  The 43-year-old performer said that based on the last time he saw his ex-wife, it had to be the result of one day of cocaine use, and not a long term effect. "It had to be that one, because that's all it takes," Brown said. "One hit, you know ... it could definitely take your life away from you. And, unfortunately, that was it."
