Lady Gaga comes from a Catholic background so it’s no shock that the devil haunts her dreams, as he factors into much Catholic lore. But the Mama Monster is not going to go mano y mano with the devil on her own. She is reportedly seeking help to expel him from her nightmares in the form of Indian doctor and spiritual advisor Deepak Chopra.

The Mother Monster reportedly said, “I have this recurring dream where there’s a phantom in my home and he takes me into a room where there’s a blonde girl with ropes tied to her limbs pulling her apart. I told Deepak the dream was so terrifying I thought somehow that a devil force was trying to take hold of me.” Yikes. That sounds scary and enough to keep us up at night.

The devil may be messing with Gaga’s dreams but it’s Chopra to the rescue. Gaga also allegedly said,
“[Deepak] laughed and told me that I should learn to embrace my own insanity. I told him, ‘The Devil is trying to take me, Deepak. I’m a good girl!’” Chopra’s reply? “Don’t worry.”

The Daily Star also reports that Gaga has requested Chopra’s assistance in helping her to levitate. Guess her signature, six inch platforms aren’t enough of a boost as she claws her way to the top of the pop food chain?

Gaga said, “I want to go into a coma and levitate. I am a very spiritual person. Deepak is the most influential person in my life. His message is a true inspiration. He helps me to reach inside my spirituality and we take it to the next level.”

Whatta ya think, little monsters? Are you worried about Gaga with the devil haunting her dreams and her desire to enter a coma state and levitate?

Four years ago Bobby Brown wrote a tell-all book about his life with Whitney Houston, now that she has left us, he is ready to publish it.

At the time when Bobby wrote the book no one seemed interested in publishing it. Things have changed now that Whitney has died.

“Back in 2008, the interest in a book on Whitney Houston wasn’t that great. Whitney had fallen off the radar back then … but now, following her tragic death, the market has changed. Now is the time for a book that details an honest look into the life of Whitney.”

It looks like two things could keep this book off the shelves. One: A confidentiality agreement Bobby signed when he divorced Whitney. Two: He has no idea how this book could hurt their daughter Bobbi Kristina.

Do we really need to know that much personal information on a celebrity? We know most of the bad things that happened to Whitney during her down moment in life, do we really need to know everything? I would much rather read a book that Whitney herself published telling her own story in hopes of helping others that battle addictions, not a book written by an Ex who may or may not be trying to make some money off the death of the mother of his daughter.

Would you be interested in reading this book? By the sound of things, it doesn’t look to be a “nice” book about Whitney.

Katy Perry is headed to the small screen again. The pop diva booked a guest spot as a — get this! — prison attendant on Fox’s ‘Raising Hope.’ The episode is set to air on Tuesday, March 6 at 8 PM ET/PT and it’s called ‘Single White Female Role Model.’ From pop star to prison attendant: Katy Perry does it all.

Perry will portray Rikki, a prison attendant claiming to be a friend of ‘Raising Hope’ character Sabrina, played by Shannon Woodward. Perry decided to take the role since Woodward is her BFF. Wait, we thought Rihanna was her bestie. Ah, well, a girl can have two best friends, can’t she?

Executive producer Greg Garcia said, “Shannon Woodward told me that her friend Katy was interested in doing an episode and I thought, ‘Why not? Let’s do your friend Katy a favor.’”

But the “favor” actually turned out better than expected, since Perry nailed it. As if we expected any less — this is Katy freakin’ Perry we’re talking about. There are no limits to the ‘Part of Me’ singer’s talents.

Garcia continued, with tongue-in-cheek, saying, “Then she came in and did a terrific job. She was hilarious. And now people are telling me that Katy is also a singer. I sincerely hope that her appearance on the show helps her get her singing career off the ground. It’s a tough business!”

Perry also commented on how her role as Rikki came to be. “Shannon Woodward is my best friend,” said Perry. “A couple weeks ago, I was home, just toasting up a frozen chicken fillet when she called me up and asked if I wanted to do something ‘fun’ for a change and try out a guest role on her TV show. I thought, ‘Sure, I have nothing else to do, and I like chillin’ with my best friend.’ Greg was nice, but I hope he’s not secretly sabotaging my potential future career by typecasting me in the role of just a looker, so that I would never be able to play anything more challenging.”

If you want more deets about Perry’s appearance, here they are. Sabrina participates in an Occupy Natesville protest and thus slapped with a two-week prison sentence. Rikki gains pleasure from making her stay in the clink utterly miserable. That is until she recalls their long-ago friendship.

Who’s going to watch Katy Perry, who previously appeared on ‘The Simpsons’ and ‘How I Met Your Mother,’ on ‘Raising Hope?’

Some more details, including a trailer, have been revealed about Demi Lovato‘s previously top-secret upcoming MTV special, ‘Demi Lovato: Stay Strong,’ which is set to air on MTV on March 6 at 10PM ET. It’s a one-hour documentary that begins in the Fall of 2011, as Lovato faces life after rehab and navigates the long, involved recovery process, which didn’t cease when she signed out of a treatment facility.

Fans will ride sidecar with the ‘Skyscraper’ singer as she enjoys Thanksgiving in Dallas, Texas with her extended family and hits the road for her first tour in recovery mode. There’s a cute scene of her doing vocal warm ups backstage in the trailer.

Viewers will also accompany Lovato as she returns to the treatment facility she initially checked into in October of 2010, speaking to the girls who are there and thanking the staff who assisted in her own journey.

In the trailer, Lovato confesses, “I never thought I’d be a role model.” She also said that she hated it when that tag was first assigned to her pre-rehab and when she first started in the industry.

She states, “I battled depression, developed an eating disorder and thought there is no way I am going to get better. It ended up driving me insane.”

Once she got over that hump, she admitted, “Why not air all my secrets?”

She continued, “I wanted to share my story but I knew it had to be honest, it had to be real. I have daily challenges but so do many kids who are struggling to feel comfortable in their own skin. If opening up and sharing my story inspires even one person to stay strong or to get the help they need, I’ve succeeded.”

That approach really has worked for her. She could have refused to talk about her situation and her issues, which many crisis PR campaigns aim to do. Instead, she embraced candor and honesty.

The last seconds of the trailer are so poignant, as Lovato says, “I am not fixed. This is a daily battle, but I continue to work my butt off. I want to be a legitimate role model.”

It’s full circle for Demi Lovato.

For some mysterious reason, February 23rd is known as International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day. It seems likely that dogs managed to get a hold of a calendar somewhere and decided to mark this day, so to speak, in order to get more treats. Clever pups.

In celebration of this delicious day for dogs and the crafty canine who must have made it so, we found a selection of videos involving dogs and treats and what dogs will do for the love of biscuits.

Little Dog Steals Biscuits From Big Dog

This brave (and treat-crazed) Yorkie steals a biscuit from a rather large, but patient, pit bull. We don’t advise taking biscuits from a bigger dog, but we can understand why the little dog would do so. Look how much more he gets.

Impressive Eye Trick

This little guy will risk having his eyes stick that way for a biscuit. We’ve never seen a dog cross his eyes on command before, so this trick definitely deserves a treat. But, please, save his eyes and teach him to roll over too.

Find the Hidden Biscuit

Victor the German Shepherd has to use his powerful sense of smell to figure out where his favorite treat has been hidden. Dogs know that the best use of their nose is for finding their delicious biscuits, no matter where the humans hide them.

Synchronized Biscuit Eating

Time to double the treat fun with more German Shepherds. This pair of pups waits serenely for the command to toss the treats off their noses and catch them. They deserve many biscuits because they have coordinated their efforts in a virtual dog biscuit ballet.

Extreme Patience Wins a Biscuit

These two patient pooches endure a long and excruciating waiting period before they get their biscuits. Certainly, they must go to some very Zen, dog happy place to sit so still and wait so patiently for the command to eat their beloved biscuits.

Tricks With Biscuits For Biscuits

Last year, we showed you this talented dog who can balance a giant stack of treats on his nose with ease. Here he is again, lying on his back, balancing biscuits on his chin and paws. Knick knack paddywack, give this dog a bone.

Even Cats Like Dog Biscuits

This sneaky little thief proves that it’s not just dogs who love dog treats. And, his dark coloring gives him a stealthy advantage, although he seems to have been caught in the act this time.

Pooch With Amazing Balloon Popping Skills

Strangely enough, this dog appears to prefer balloons to biscuits. She even holds a Guinness Book of World Records title for popping 100 balloons in 44.49 seconds. Anastasia, you deserve a biscuit.

Give a Dog a Biscuit Over Twitter

To celebrate the day, you can give the lovely Sela a treat through the miracle of modern technology and the internet with this robotic instant message treat dispenser. We can’t tell if this is actually working right now, but you can follow @seladog on Twitter and give her a treat from there.

Not a Dog Biscuit, But a Dog, “Biscuit”

This dog named Biscuit is a skilled climber. She loves rock climbing with her owner and has gotten to new heights with her talent. We don’t see it here, but we do hope she gets a biscuit after a good climb.

I’ve spent most of my days in close proximity to the mighty Mississippi. There’s something about the river – the beauty, the majesty, the nature – that I really, really love. I’ve taken many walks along many stretches of its banks but I’ve never seen a river walk like the one in San Antonio, Texas.

I spent almost two weeks in Texas in a small town on the coast but flew in and out of the San Antonio Airport. So, the last day in Texas (and the only day it didn’t rain) we walked the banks of the San Antonio River.

The San Antonio River Walk is a public park and is the number one tourist attraction in Texas. You can ride a tour boat, discover local artists, shop or stop for a meal at one of the hundreds of tables that line the water.

It was definitely pretty and you can’t complain about 70 degrees and sunshine in February. If you ever make it to San Antonio, you should visit…but I’m a Mississippi girl.

British citizens should be proud of their fellow brethren Adele, Coldplay and Florence + the Machine, thanks to their performances at the 2012 BRIT Awards last night (Feb. 21.) They should also adopt Rihanna, because the Bajan beauty also brought the house down with her performance.

Like at the 2012 Grammy Awards, Adele performed ‘Rolling in the Deep,’ which is the song that kicked off the massive success of the much-worshiped ’21.’ Adele looked classy and beautiful with bouffant hair and a black dress. Once again, she proved her voice rebounded just fine from surgery. Her performance was strong and strikingly similar to that which she turned in at the Grammys. Her lashes were so long we worried she might float away if she batted them too much. If you look close and hit rewind, you can see that massive diamond on her left hand.

RiRi performed her smash hit ‘We Found Love’ with dancers encased in block-like structures on stage. She also chose to forego pants in favor of a baggy, white sweatshirt-type top and construction boots. Despite being dressed down, it was typical sexalicious Rihanna, rocking huge hoop earrings. Given her recent remixes with her ex Chris Brown, the lyrics feel all the more autobiographical. The choreography was banging, too.

RiRi’s ‘Princess of China’ cohorts, Coldplay, brought the rock as they opened the show. With explosions going off in the background, they performed ‘Charlie Brown’ in the middle of the crowd. Few rock as flawlessly as Chris Martin and company. Their fellow countrymen ought to be proud.

Our favorite redhead Florence Welch delivered another epic performance. When doesn’t she, right? She was surrounded by peasant-like dancers that cavorted on the floor as she radiated while standing in a gold column gown. Gorgeous as always. There was also a lot of light on the stage, despite her performing ‘No Light, No Light.’ She’s another British vocal treasure.

It’s good to be Madonna‘s daughter, and not just because you can launch a teen clothing line with her at Macy’s known as Material Girl. Madge has reportedly “hired” her 15-year-old daughter as a backup dancer on her upcoming world tour in support of ‘MDNA,’ which launches at the end of May.

Lourdes will accompany her mother on a 50-country world tour. Is that nepotism? Not really, since it’s Madge’s tour and she’ll do whatever the hell she wants. Judging from the fact that Mom-donna (or is that Ma-donna?) mercilessly proofreads Lourdes’ blogs, she isn’t giving her offspring a free ride or any special treatment. In fact, she’ll probably come down on her even harder than other dancers on the tour.

According to The Daily Mail, a source said, “It is the first time Lourdes will have appeared on stage with her mum. There are risqué dancers and some blatantly sexual dance routines – but Madonna is really excited about Lourdes making an appearance.”

Come on, it’s not like Lourdes has been shielded from her mother’s sexed up past. There’s this thing called the Internet where she could have done her research and seen how her mother clawed her way to the top, based on her sexualized style. Madge isn’t the apologize-for-my-past type, either, so it’s not a case of “bad” parenting. Lourdes is growing up and this is a great chance for her to do her thang.

Will there be some mother-daughter competition? Who knows!

After she showed her latest collection at New York Fashion Week, Gwen Stefani talked about who should buy her clothes.

Gwen says that her ideal customer is fashion forward, an individual who needs her clothes to perform like classic sportswear. She enjoys fashion, loves style, likes to express herself and not look like everyone else.

After reading her comments, are you less likely to want to buy her clothing? As if we women don’t have a hard enough time finding fashionable affordable clothes that are well made and fit properly as it is, now we have Gwen Stefani dictating who exactly can wear her clothes?

I really don’t think that Gwen has any right to say who should be wearing her clothes. If that’s the case, then don’t sell them in stores. Be an appointment only retailer. When we come in to buy your overpriced rags, you can look at us, judge us, and then tell us if we’re good enough to wear your clothes.

Gwen has her own fashion label called L.A.M.B., by the way and has been designing rock and roll inspired clothing and shoes since 2003. Do you think we should expect back peddling from Gwennie any time soon?

Abercrombie

This guy was everywhere — on billboards, in magazines, on Abercrombie & Fitch shopping bags — and then he disappeared. Who was he?

In case you’re one of those people who treat hott guys as more than just a piece of meat, the male model’s name is Maxwell Zagorski. And he didn’t disappear. Zagorski was one of Abercrombie’s shirtless and sexy studs from 2006-2008, and then he was quickly picked up by International Jock in 2009 and became the face and body model for Levi’s Underwear.

We’ll be keeping an eye on this one, that’s for sure.

The ‘Birthday Cake’ remix is three times the length of the original brief ‘Talk That Talk’ track. The raunchy bedroom anthem is extra steamy considering the couple’s rollercoaster history. Based on rampant rumors of their downlow hookups, when Breezy sings, “Girl I wanna f— you right now / It’s been a long time / I’ve been missing your body,” you believe him.

Rihanna is just as reminiscent, rapping, “Remember how you did it? / Remember how you fed it? / You still wanna kiss it? / C-C-Come and get it.”

Breezy’s own ‘Turn Up the Music’ remix was released today, also featuring RiRi. While critics and fans were both wary of the collaborations (and understandably so), from a purely musical standpoint, they duo makes an effective team.

Whether you believe or agree with the allegations of a reignited romantic flame, the heat between these two is undeniable. We blame the birthday candles.

Since Whitney Houston‘s death, her life has been an open book in the media and on gossip blogs. Now a rash of digital books about Houston’s music and life have hit the Internet.

According to the Los Angeles Times, there are 14 just-released Whitney Houston Kindle e-books available on Amazon.com ranging in prices from 99 cents to $9.99. Most of the titles are fan tributes to the late songbird, a book of poems dedicated to Houston and a couple of unauthorized biographies. One book, in particular, is comprised entirely of Wikipedia pages about Houston’s life, her music and her movies. Really? Not to sound too critical, but a book composed of Wikipedia entries is not what a good autobiography is made of. But we digress.

Although none of the titles have hit Amazon’s Top 100 paid Kindle e-books list, they are attracting interest by Houston fans. One book that has cracked the threshold is the unauthorized biography ‘Whitney Houston We Love You Forever’ by Jean-Pierre Hombach. His Whitney book is selling briskly and is in the Top 20 of Amazon’s Kindle e-books list. Hombach has a good track record of writing biographies, having penned memoirs about Justin Beiber, Bob Marley and Beyonce.

We haven’t read any of these books, but the fact that those books haven’t cracked Amazon’s Top 10 shows that readers are looking for something more authoritative. And we can’t blame them.

We also believe there are probably a slew of legitimate historians and authors who are quietly writing well-researched biographies about Whitney Houston’s life. We just hope these books offer a fair and balanced look into the pop icon’s life and not the gossip.

The 23rd season of ‘The Simpsons’ will go out with a bang, as that’s when the episode featuring Lady Gaga will air.

Gaga taped her ep late last summer and just like ‘SNL’ last May, she will appear on a season finale of a long-running comedy show. ‘The Simpsons’ remains the longest airing scripted show on prime time TV, while ‘SNL’ has been airing since 1975, so Gaga has a penchant for appearing on some of the most beloved shows on the small screen.

The Mother Monster’s episode is called ‘Lisa Goes Gaga’ and Gaga factors into the plot as someone who comes to Springfield in order to cheer up little Lisa, who is often the voice of reason on the show.

The Telegraph reports that Gaga has mused about her role on the show, saying, “I play a little bit of a slut. The apple doesn’t fall far from my artistic tree.”

Uh oh. Is Gaga going to be a bad influence on the sweet and wholesome Lisa Simpson? Will she teach her how to dance? Will she whip Bart into shape? Will she give Marge hair tips? Will she eat donuts with Homer? The possibilities are endless.

The exact air date of the season finale of ‘The Simpsons’ has not yet been confirmed, but it should air sometime in May. PopCrush will certainly recap the episode for you, dear reader!

Mariah Carey, who looks as stunning as ever, appeared on ‘Good Morning America’ to talk about heart health month, Dem Babies, new music and of course, the loss of fellow diva Whitney Houston and her recently hospitalized husband Nick Cannon. Carey and Cannon had a serious scare when he went into mild kidney failure in January.

Carey was quite candid during her chat with Robin Roberts, speaking from the heart about the late, great Houston, who passed at 48 just over a week ago.

“It was great and I don’t think people could ever understand our relationship,” Carey mused. “There was this supposed rivalry in the beginning, then we did the duet and became friends. I loved her.”

It’s been a rocky month for people in Carey’s life. Roc and Roe’s mother also spoke about Cannon’s health scare, saying, “We didn’t know how big a deal it was at that moment” about Cannon’s first stay in the hospital. Then things got worse. She admitted, “It was a gradual thing. We ended up in a couple hospitals this year already.”

Carey voiced her support for Cannon, who quit his morning drive radio show last week, since he was working way too hard and neglecting his health. She said, “The best thing I think was the choice that he made to leave the radio show and just focus on ‘America’s Got Talent’ and ‘Up All Night.’ The thing is, he’s a young healthy person. It’s about changing the lifestyle and just an awareness of what can really happen to you no matter how young or in great shape you are.”

Cannon’s missus did express that she believes he will make a glass of lemonade out of this lemon, saying, “I think, like he always does, he’s going to turn something that happened into a positive thing.”

That’s great news.

A musical play based on Whitney Houston‘s 1992 film ‘The Bodyguard’ is currently in the works, reports The Guardian. Producers from the Adelphia Theatre in London are developing the stage production about a blossoming relationship between a popular singer Rachel Marron and her bodyguard (played by Kevin Costner in the film).

Tony and Grammy Award-winning singer Heather Headley will portray the Rachel character which Houston played in the movie. The play is expected to bow for London audiences in November.

The musical will also feature some of Houston’s biggest songs from the film’s soundtrack including the centerpiece ‘I Will Always Love You.’ Veteran director Thea Sharrock will helm the musical, which will have a book written by playwright Alex Dinelaris.

The project has been in pre-production for over a year, way before the late pop icon’s unexpected death. Obviously, since her passing, interest in the play has peaked.

Casting for other roles including the bodyguard character are still ongoing. No word if the London musical will travel its way to the U.S. shores on Broadway.

Conan O’Brien is pretty hard to miss, due to his 6’4 frame and bright orange pompadour. So if you happened to be watching ‘How I Met Your Mother’ last night and thought you spotted the late-night host for a brief moment in the background of the gang’s favorite bar, you certainly weren’t imagining things.

Before the show aired Monday, ‘HIMYM’ star Neil Patrick Harris gave his Twitter followers a hint that something like this was brewing.

“Watch the new episode of HIMYM tonight and try to spot the awesomest of dudes randomly hanging out at MacLaren’s. #dontblink,” Harris tweeted.

In fact, if you caught Harris’ appearance on ‘Conan’ last June, you would’ve known that an O’Brien cameo was coming. During their chat, the two revealed that Conan had won a walk-on role on ‘HIMYM’ in a charity auction they had both attended. When the show’s producers heard that it was Conan who out bid everybody for the prize, they wanted to expand the role from the cameo it had been offered as.

However, Conan told them he thought it would be funnier if it remained a brief un-credited walk on. So that’s the story behind Conan’s very short stint on ‘How I Met Your Mother.’ Check it out below, courtesy of HuffPo.

Starring: Tom Hardy, Chris Pine, Reese Witherspoon, Chelsea Handler

Summary: Lauren Scott (Witherspoon) is a mild-mannered product analyst who leads a pretty uneventful life. Suddenly she finds herself dating two gorgeous, charming men and can’t seem to decide which one to be with. What’s worse is that Lauren has no idea that the two men in fact know each other. Franklyn (Pine) and Tuck (Hardy) are best friends and partners at the CIA. There is nothing they wouldn’t do for each other, until they realize that they are dating the same woman. Now the gloves are off and it’s every man for himself as they battle it out to win Lauren’s affections.

This is definitely a good movie for couples. There’s romance for the ladies and some action for the fellas, plus plenty of eye-candy for everyone. Even though the main actors are all very good looking there really wasn’t a whole lot of chemistry between them. While Reese Witherspoon was cute and flirty and giggly, I didn’t really feel a spark between her and either of the guys. To be honest the best chemistry was between Chris Pine and Tom Hardy. Still it was very entertaining and Chelsea Handler was funny as ever.

Trivia: In the movie Chris Pine’s character talks about watching a “Chips” marathon. In real life Chris’ dad is Robert Pine, who starred in that show (he’s the blond cop).

Rated: PG-13 – For sexual content, some violence and action, and language.
