Katy Perry, Russell Brand sat face-to-face at basketball game

Katy Perry had an awkward reunion with her ex-husband Russell Brand when they were sat face-to-face at a US basketball game last night (October 30).
The former couple, who separated last December after 14 months of marriage, found themselves on opposite sides of the court at an LA Lakers clash in the Staples Centre.

According to E!, Perry and Brand did not speak to each other and avoided eye contact, despite their close proximity.
Perry was at the game with her father Keith Hudson, while her comedian ex was spotted chatting to fellow celebrity spectator David Beckham.
The 'Part of Me' singer is now believed to be dating John Mayer, and the couple have apparently annoyed their neighbours by having "very loud sex".
Though the ex-partners may not be talking, her parents have allegedly been invited to a party thrown by Brand to celebrate 10 years of sobriety.

Britney was drugged by her boss, says mum

Britney Spears was drugged by her manager, says mum Lynne
Britney Spears's mum has claimed that the star's ex-manager 'crushed up drugs' and put them in her food. During the ongoing battle with the singer's former employee, Osama 'Sam' Lufti, Lynne Spears has told a US court that he admitted to her that he did so five years ago to help her sleep.

This was thought to have been going on during Britney's public meltdown which saw her shaving her head, temporarily losing custody of her kids and being hospitalised. Lufti is suing Britney for a share of her fortune, claiming he had an agreement as her manager for 15% of her earnings before he was let go in 2008.

He is also suing over 'lies' about him in her 2008 book Through the Storm, and Britney's father Jamie for allegedly punching him. However, Lufti has always maintained he was trying to get Britney clean of drugs. It's thought Lynne Spears told the court he cut off Britney's phone, but despite her worry, didn't call the police: "I was very worried and I didn't know what to do so I tried to get her away from there."

But, admitting that she was estranged from her daughter for a while in 2007, she said how Lufti told her he wanted to help reunite them. Meanwhile, Lufti, who claims the drug crystal meth was found in Britney's home, has also been accused of planting the drugs as a 'manipulation tactic' by Britney's ex-nanny Leah Frand.

 
TMZ has reported that Leah, who worked for Britney closely for around six months in 2007, said: "I have never seen meth in that house or any type of drug." Lufti has also claimed that the 'Toxic' singer 'was so paranoid' she shaved her head so officials couldn't test her hair for drugs.

Christina Aguilera has celebrated her 31st birthday in Los Angeles with family and 50 close friends, including her fellow The Voice mentors.

The Burlesque popstar was joined by Adam Lambert and Blake Shelton along with his wife Miranda Lambert, reports US Weekly.

Cee Lo Green, who also serves as a mentor for the NBC singing competition show, was apparently not at the party.

Guests dined and played board games at her party, while Aguilera's boyfriend Matthew Rutler surprised her with a Marie Antoinette cake.

A source claimed: "Christina loves costumes and period pieces so it was perfect. Everyone had a great time."

Earlier this month, it was reported that Aguilera was thinking of proposing to Rutler.

"He gets a little embarrassed, but it's obvious they've talked about it. It's coming soon," a source claimed. "She wants to start over and thinks that asking him to marry her is the way to start."

Britney Spears, fiancé Jason Trawick celebrate engagement in Las Vegas

Britney Spears and her fiancé Jason Trawick celebrated their engagement in Las Vegas on Friday (December 16).

Trawick confirmed yesterday that Spears had accepted his marriage proposal after dating for more than a year, adding that he was "over the moon, as [was] she".

The couple were joined by Spears's two sons Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline on a trip to Sin City, with People reporting that they stayed in a "mega suite" at the Planet Hollywood hotel and casino.

Spears and her fiancé toasted Trawick's 40th birthday with Planet Hollywood chairman Robert Earl, but a source said that the popstar "wanted it to be quick because her kids were upstairs and she wanted to put them to bed".

The happy couple then had dinner with family and friends at Sugar Factory's Chocolate Lounge and partied at the Paris hotel's Chateau Nightclub until 1am local time.

An eye-witness revealed: "Britney seemed happy, holding Jason's hand."

Spears later took to Twitter to share her joy with fans by writing: "Tonight was one of the most magical nights of my life. Such an amazing time with my new fiancé and our closest friends and family."

She first hinted at the engagement on Friday morning, when she tweeted that Trawick had given her "the one gift [she's] been waiting for".

The 'Criminal' singer previously tied the knot with childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander, but their union was annulled just 55 hours later.

Spears was married to dancer Kevin Federline for two years, but their relationship ended in divorce in November 2006. Federline is the father to Spears's two sons.

Jennifer Lopez nearly cries at 2011 American Music Awards

Jennifer Lopez has performed at the 2011 American Music Awards.

The singer started off her act alone on stage, dressed in a golden gown and singing 'Until It Beats No More'. Behind her, a screen read "Love… It's a journey and I still have questions".

As she began her performance, it appeared as though she might cry, as she did during a concert in October.
However, Lopez then paused and looked up, giving the crowd a smile before shedding most of her outfit and transitioning into her hit song 'Papi'.
She was then joined on stage by her backup dancers. Lopez performed alongside them, then headed to the back of the stage to get into a Fiat 500, which the singer sponsors. She then proceeded to "drive" through projections of Hollywood at night.

Watch the live Performance

After being pulled from the Fiat by her dancers, Lopez transitioned into her final song 'On The Floor', shedding more of her outfit until she was only in a sparkly nude body suit.
She was joined by Pitbull for the performance, in addition to men and women on furry black stilts. Lopez will take the stage again later in the evening with will.i.am.
Lopez split from her husband Marc Anthony in July. He is also expected to take the stage at the American Music Awards.
The 2011 American Music Awards continue on ABC.
