Yesterday we got to see a few tiny spoilers from Madonna‘s new MDNA World Tour which kicked off in Tel Aviv, Israel last night and today we get to see a whole LOT of spoilers from the show. As you can imagine, the Internets have been flooded with photos, videos and fan reports from the first show in Tel Aviv last night. I warn you, there are quite a few major spoilers below … but if you are curious or just can’t wait to see the show in person, you simply MUST click below to see photos, watch video and read some deets about Maddy‘s extravagant new concert tour.

For a show that was originally billed as a “Concert for Peace,” the opening night of Madonna’s world tour in Tel Aviv, Israel, featured a disproportionate amount of violence. Wielding a (presumably) fake AK-47 followed by a revolver, the pop superstar sang of shooting her lover dead in the show’s first act, in between acrobatic moves that had her disarming masked bandits and killing them at close range. One might be tempted to think that the location — Ramat Gan stadium, mere miles from any number of religious landmarks and hotly contested territories that have embroiled the entire region in war and struggle for thousands of years — was appropriate. But by the same token, you could just as easily label the theatrics, which included blood splattered on a giant video screen and a gun pointing in the direction of the audience, as being in poor taste.

Such was the constant contradiction of Madonna’s MDNA tour kickoff, which was originally slated for two nights at the 41,000-capacity stadium (the first was canceled so that the singer could fit in another day of rehearsal), where her last international trek, Sticky & Sweet, ended in 2009. “I chose to start my world tour in Israel for a special and important reason,” the singer told the sold-out crowd. “You can’t be a fan of mine and not want peace in the world. People of all walks of life, we’re all sons and daughters of the universe and human beings. We all bleed the same color. We all want to love and be loved. It’s easy to say, ‘I want peace,’ it’s another thing to do it. … No conflict can ever be resolved by causing pain to another human being.” Madonna’s comments were greeted with cheers, thanks in no small part to the pure spectacle that was her two-hour show, complete with eight wardrobe changes (including a Gaultier-designed update of her iconic cone bra), 22 dancers (including one Rocco Ritchie), a gospel choir and two slackline walkers. In fact, before she even hit the stage (45 minutes later than scheduled), fans had already gotten wind of a few of the tricks she had hidden up her sleeve — namely, a seamless mash-up of her 1989 hit “Express Yourself” with Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” which the self-anointed queen called “reductive” when asked about the two songs’ similarities in January. It seems Madge, who bookended that performance with a chant of “she’s not me,” will get the last word … the MDNA tour … relies heavily on songs from Madonna’s new album and features mostly snippets of her biggest hits. On the set list, only “Papa Don’t Preach,” “Vogue,” “Open Your Heart,” “Hung Up” and the aforementioned “Express Yourself” got a nearly complete performance while “Like A Prayer” was a nearly spot-on reprise of Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime show performance from earlier this year. “Holiday,” “Ray of Light,” “Music,” and “Into the Groove,” meanwhile, were relegated to mere seconds on the scratchy turn of the radio dial, a fitting intro to “Turn Up the Radio,” one of eight songs from MDNA, including “I’m Addicted,” “I’m a Sinner” and “Masterpiece,” the latter from her 2011 film, W.E.

Set List:
Girl Gone Wild
Revolver
Gang Bang
Papa Don’t Preach
Hung Up
I Don’t Give a ****
Express Yourself
Give Me All Your Luvin’
Turn Up the Radio
Open Your Heart
Sagara Jo
Masterpiece
Vogue
The Erotic Candy Shop
Human Nature
Like a Virgin Waltz
I’m Addicted
I’m a Sinner
Like a Prayer
Celebration
It sounds like a big show … but the mixture of violent imagery with calls for world peace just seems so silly to me. I get that Madonna loves to court controversy (why else would she insist on using Nazi imagery in the show and, of course, the obvious dig at Lady Gaga) but I don’t think she is sending out this mixed message as a way to stir trouble. I think she actually doesn’t get that using violent imagery as entertainment in one breath and then urging fans to fight for world peace in the next breath is just … dumb. Still, Madge is the QUEEN of stirring conversation … good or bad, she’ll take it all. Here are a few video clips from the show last night. Watch at your own peril:

Pop Queen's inclusion of lines from her 'She's Not Me' makes medley seem more like dig than tribute.
By John Mitchell
<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/madonna/artist.jhtml">Madonna</a>'s diva rivalry with <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/lady_gaga/artist.jhtml">Lady Gaga</a> may be taken up a notch when her <i>MDNA</i> tour kicks off Thursday at Tel Aviv, Israel's Ramat Gan Stadium. In <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ToQnu34QygU#!" target="_blank">new rehearsal footage</a>, the 53-year-old legend is seen singing a mashup of her "Express Yourself" and Gaga's "Born This Way" that concludes with a few lines from Madonna's copycat-shaming "She's Not Me."</P><P>Last year, when Lady Gaga released her hit single "Born This Way," controversy erupted over the song's similarity to Madonna's "Express Yourself." (Never mind that much of the <a href="http://digitaljournal.com/article/317821" target="_blank">resemblance is rooted</a> in <i>both</i> songs' use of a pretty common disco chord progression.) At first, things seemed cool between the two singers. They'd always gotten along publicly, and <a href=http://www.popeater.com/2011/02/15/lady-gaga-madonna-loves-born-this-way/ target="_blank">Gaga told Jay Leno</a> that M's camp reached out to say all was well in the diva-verse with regard to the songs' similarities (something later denied by Madonna's people).</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Madonna - "Express Yourself"" id="vid:13328" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>The whole thing appeared to have blown over until earlier this year, when Madonna was promoting her movie "W.E." and her Super Bowl halftime performance during an ABC News interview. <a href="/news/articles/1677260/madonna-lady-gaga-born-this-way.jhtml">Madonna was asked</a> what she thought of the comparisons, and in response she called Lady Gaga "reductive."</P><P>Gaga's been pretty quiet throughout, but it's hard not to wonder if she'll stay that way once word of this latest swipe makes its way to her ears. (Gaga is currently in Asia on her <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2012/05/02/lady-gagas-born-this-way-ball-stage-biggest-ever-built-to-tour/">Born This Way Ball</a> tour, and she was recently forced to cancel a planned show in Indonesia after <a href="/news/articles/1685564/lady-gaga-islam-threat-indonesia-concert.jhtml">receiving threats</a> from fundamentalist Islamic groups in the country.)</P><P>New leaked footage from rehearsals for Madonna's own road show showcases <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2012/05/14/madonna-mdna-tour-set-list/">a reportedly planned mashup</a> of "Express Yourself" and "Born This Way," and while the resemblance between the two songs remains as striking as ever, that's not the real story. Just those two songs layered together could have been fun: The two stars certainly have overlapping fanbases, who no doubt would have delighted in the winking acknowledgement of M's influence on Gaga. But Madonna complicates things by concluding the medley with a few lines from her <i>Hard Candy</i> track "She's Not Me," a song about Madonna being emulated by another woman.</P><P>The inclusion of "She's Not Me" makes the medley seem like yet another scathing dig at Gaga. It's unknown whether Madonna was just goofing around during rehearsals or whether she plans to include that final digging refrain throughout her tour.</P><P><i>Is Madonna taking things too far, or are we misreading things? Good-natured ribbing or mean-spirited digging?

Hugh Hefner is single no longer!
Crystal Harris confirmed on Friday she's reunited with the Playboy founder and moved back into the Playboy Mansion.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's broken engagements
"Yes, Hugh Hefner and I are back together," Harris, 26, tweeted. "Yes I am his #1 girl again. Yes we are happy. Hope that clears up any confusion! XO."
Hefner, 86, also tweeted a confirmation saying it was his longtime secretary who helped them reconcile. "It's Mary O'Conner that brought Crystal Harris back," he wrote. "Crystal was miserable and said so. Mary told Crystal to write and tell me, which she did."
PHOTOS: Stars who've posed in Playboy
Harris and Hefner announced their engagement in December 2010, but the Playboy model called off the wedding in June 2011 days before the ceremony.
Their break up turned ugly when Harris spoke out on Sirius XM's Howard Stern Show about her sex life with Hefner. "[It lasted] like, two seconds," she said. "Then I was just over it. I was like, 'Ahh.' I was over it. I just, like, walked away. I'm not turned on by Hef. Sorry."

The Playboy editor responded by saying Harris was lying. "Crystal convinced me that she adored me," he tweeted. "That was the first lie."

Nick Lachey and his gorgeous wife, Vanessa Minnillo have made time for each other before their first child arrives. Babymoons have definitely become the thing to do, and Mr and Mrs Lachey just had one themselves, at Jade Mountain in St.Lucia. They both tweeted the fact that they were on a romantic break and posted some cute pics including the incredible view from their hotel room over the mountain. When is the Lachey baby due? Did this pregnancy just fly past?
Vanessa tweeted earlier this week, “#MaternityMonday: Make sure to make time for each other before baby arrives! Take a #Babymoon. Remember how you got here in the first place!” Then Nick tweeted, “Just wrapped up an incredible babymoon at Jade Mountain. Awesome place, even better people! Here’s our room view.” They also included this breathtaking view of their vacation in the Caribbean. OMG, how ridiculously beautiful is that??

Vanessa also posted this adorable Polaroid pic of her and Nick in what looks like the airport leaving or arriving for their babymoon. How cute are these two?

I really do think that the idea of a babymoon is wonderful, and Vanessa said it perfectly – it’s important to make time for each other and remember how you got here. I have to say, Nick and Vanessa really do seem like a bit of a perfect couple, they’re so gloriously in love with each other. I have no doubt that their first child together is also bringing them even closer together. It seems like just a few weeks ago that we heard that Vanessa was expecting, but months have passed and already she is in her second trimester. She tweeted this week that she is having “second trimester craving; BBQ!!!” This baby must therefore be arriving in the Fall, which also is just around the corner. Happy days for the Lachey family.

A couple of weeks ago we first learned that DC Comics is planning to reintroduce a major superhero character as gay. Today we find out which superhero DC Comics has selected. As soon as the news was first reported, fans speculated that the new gay character might be someone as big as Superman or as second tier as Robin. Today we learn that the newly reintroduced gay character is none other than Green Lantern himself. Now, those of you familiar with the character know that there are a few different Green Lanterns in the DC Comics universe (Alan Scott, Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner and John Stewart). Click below to find out with Green Lantern has been reintroduced as gay and get your first look at his reintroduction in the comic book world.

Earlier this month, DC co-publisher Dan DiDio revealed to a convention audience in England a heretofore heterosexual DC superhero would be coming out of the closet. DiDio kept mum about the hero’s identity, although he did note that it would be “one of the major iconic DC characters.” Today, DC has confirmed Internet rumors that the character in question is Alan Scott, a.k.a. the original Green Lantern, currently appearing as a lead character in DC’s Earth 2.
EW: Did you always know that you wanted a gay character at the forefront of the Earth 2 series?
JAMES ROBINSON: The original version of Alan Scott was an older man, and he had a superpowered son, Obsidian, who was gay. The fact that Scott was young now [thanks to a universe-wide reboot] meant Obsidian no longer existed. I thought it was a shame that DC was losing such a positive gay character. I said, “Why not make Alan Scott gay?” To Dan DiDio’s credit, when I suggested it to him, there wasn’t a moment’s hesitation.Can you talk about the new Alan Scott?
He’s a giant of the media industry. By getting involved in communication, the news, and the Internet, he’s become a billionaire. He’s kind of a cross between Mark Zuckerberg and David Geffen. The original Alan Scott owned a radio station in the ’40s and ’50s, so he was a media giant then. He was this bold, heroic, brave man who took control, who would risk his life for you and be this emerald knight that was always there to protect the world. The Alan Scott I’m doing now is that same dynamic, brave, honorable man. A man that you’d want guarding your welfare, your children, your life, your home. He’s willing to give his life for the world. He’s everything you want in a hero. And he happens to be gay. So really, apart from his sexuality, there isn’t that much of a difference.Last week, when news about Earth 2‘s Alan Scott being homosexual hit the Internet, I saw a few complaints which mostly came back to one fact: That we’re talking about a character in an alternate universe who’s a rebooted version of a character that has been outside of the mainstream comic book world for awhile now. How do you respond to charges that this story is opportunistic?
That was never the intention. When I was first putting together this version of the team eight months ago, and was making the team diverse and interesting, adding in a gay character seemed like the natural thing to do. Quite honestly, it was an offhand comment that Dan made at a panel in England that got everybody suddenly aware and excited. I’m as surprised by it as you are. This was not ever meant to be sensational. It’s meant to be about a team that’s well-rounded, that shows the diversity of the world around us.What can we expect coming up in the comic book?
One of the good things about the book being called Earth 2 — as opposed to The Justice Society — is that I’m really setting up the world and the characters. Yes, they will be the Justice Society. But this first arc is going to introduce a few of them. Then I have a couple of single issues. Then we have the second arc. By the end of that arc, we’ll get the whole team. I can have the characters come in organically and gradually. You’re going to see this whole team come together. They’re going to meet their first villain.Starman featured what has been referred to one of the first gay-male kisses in mainstream comics. Since that time, has it become easier to introduce a homosexual character into a superhero comic book?
I think so. It’s very gratifying to see the interest in this character and what we’re doing. But I at least hope society is moving forward sanely and rationally, where people’s diversity is accepted, not feared. I want to stress that Alan Scott is a gay man, but that’s just a part of who he is. He’s a businessman. He’s a hero. He’s a lot of different things. His sexuality is a part of him, but it isn’t his defining trait. He’s an interesting, complex character that I think people will respond to on many levels. He’s the epitome of heroism. And I hope that he’s a positive representation of a gay man.

Nice. I think Alan Scott/Green Lantern is a great choice! I’d say that Green Lantern is a pretty prominent DC Comics character so everyday folks will know him. Going with original Green Lantern Alan Scott is a way to keep the idea fresh (as opposed to going with the most famous Green Lantern, Hal Jordan). Considering how terrible the Green Lantern film turned out, I’d say that DC owes the character a fresh reboot to make us forget how horrid the movie was. I’m happy with this revelation. Here’s hoping that Alan Scott/Green Lantern and his boyfriend Sam can enjoy a long and happy life together in the DC Comcis world of Earth Two :)

Yesterday we got to see a few tiny spoilers from Madonna‘s new MDNA World Tour which kicked off in Tel Aviv, Israel last night and today we get to see a whole LOT of spoilers from the show. As you can imagine, the Internets have been flooded with photos, videos and fan reports from the first show in Tel Aviv last night. I warn you, there are quite a few major spoilers below … but if you are curious or just can’t wait to see the show in person, you simply MUST click below to see photos, watch video and read some deets about Maddy‘s extravagant new concert tour.

For a show that was originally billed as a “Concert for Peace,” the opening night of Madonna’s world tour in Tel Aviv, Israel, featured a disproportionate amount of violence. Wielding a (presumably) fake AK-47 followed by a revolver, the pop superstar sang of shooting her lover dead in the show’s first act, in between acrobatic moves that had her disarming masked bandits and killing them at close range. One might be tempted to think that the location — Ramat Gan stadium, mere miles from any number of religious landmarks and hotly contested territories that have embroiled the entire region in war and struggle for thousands of years — was appropriate. But by the same token, you could just as easily label the theatrics, which included blood splattered on a giant video screen and a gun pointing in the direction of the audience, as being in poor taste.

Such was the constant contradiction of Madonna’s MDNA tour kickoff, which was originally slated for two nights at the 41,000-capacity stadium (the first was canceled so that the singer could fit in another day of rehearsal), where her last international trek, Sticky & Sweet, ended in 2009. “I chose to start my world tour in Israel for a special and important reason,” the singer told the sold-out crowd. “You can’t be a fan of mine and not want peace in the world. People of all walks of life, we’re all sons and daughters of the universe and human beings. We all bleed the same color. We all want to love and be loved. It’s easy to say, ‘I want peace,’ it’s another thing to do it. … No conflict can ever be resolved by causing pain to another human being.” Madonna’s comments were greeted with cheers, thanks in no small part to the pure spectacle that was her two-hour show, complete with eight wardrobe changes (including a Gaultier-designed update of her iconic cone bra), 22 dancers (including one Rocco Ritchie), a gospel choir and two slackline walkers. In fact, before she even hit the stage (45 minutes later than scheduled), fans had already gotten wind of a few of the tricks she had hidden up her sleeve — namely, a seamless mash-up of her 1989 hit “Express Yourself” with Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” which the self-anointed queen called “reductive” when asked about the two songs’ similarities in January. It seems Madge, who bookended that performance with a chant of “she’s not me,” will get the last word … the MDNA tour … relies heavily on songs from Madonna’s new album and features mostly snippets of her biggest hits. On the set list, only “Papa Don’t Preach,” “Vogue,” “Open Your Heart,” “Hung Up” and the aforementioned “Express Yourself” got a nearly complete performance while “Like A Prayer” was a nearly spot-on reprise of Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime show performance from earlier this year. “Holiday,” “Ray of Light,” “Music,” and “Into the Groove,” meanwhile, were relegated to mere seconds on the scratchy turn of the radio dial, a fitting intro to “Turn Up the Radio,” one of eight songs from MDNA, including “I’m Addicted,” “I’m a Sinner” and “Masterpiece,” the latter from her 2011 film, W.E.

Set List:
Girl Gone Wild
Revolver
Gang Bang
Papa Don’t Preach
Hung Up
I Don’t Give a ****
Express Yourself
Give Me All Your Luvin’
Turn Up the Radio
Open Your Heart
Sagara Jo
Masterpiece
Vogue
The Erotic Candy Shop
Human Nature
Like a Virgin Waltz
I’m Addicted
I’m a Sinner
Like a Prayer
Celebration
It sounds like a big show … but the mixture of violent imagery with calls for world peace just seems so silly to me. I get that Madonna loves to court controversy (why else would she insist on using Nazi imagery in the show and, of course, the obvious dig at Lady Gaga) but I don’t think she is sending out this mixed message as a way to stir trouble. I think she actually doesn’t get that using violent imagery as entertainment in one breath and then urging fans to fight for world peace in the next breath is just … dumb. Still, Madge is the QUEEN of stirring conversation … good or bad, she’ll take it all. Here are a few video clips from the show last night. Watch at your own peril:

New York Magazine is today reporting that funny boys, Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell are in talks to star opposite one another in Three Mississippi, a comedy from the guys who have produced 30 Rock and Friends. We have been hearing lots about Will in relation to his work on the Anchorman sequel, but now it looks like we might have some more Ferrell in our lives.

A little while ago it looked like Mark Wahlberg was going to be starring in this new movie, but now NY Mag is saying that he has been replaced by Adam Sandler. Mark is too busy strutting his buff bod in Miami, but Alec Baldwin is reportedly attached to the project. Three Mississippi tells the story of two rival families who have an annual tackle football game at Thanksgiving but one family is the perennial loser.
Adam McKay was meant to be directing this movie, but he is now focusing on Anchorman: The Legend Continues so he is no longer doing the football comedy. Reports are saying that he has been replaced by That’s My Boy director Sean Anders. I did quite enjoy the banter between Alec Baldwin and Mark Wahlberg in The Departed, but what’s not to love about Will Ferrell? Comedian, Rob Riggle is also apparently part of the cast so I think this movie could be a whole lot of fun. Do you think this cast will work well?

The Rock & Roll cocktail
Courtesy Andaz Hotel. Inset: Courtesy Adam Shankman
Bartender Sergio Campos, a manager at the Andaz Hotel in West Hollywood, has created two drinks with their own ties to rock history – "The Golden God" and "The Rock & Roll."
The latter was inspired by Little Richard, according to Campos, who lived in a suite at the hotel in the 1980s and 1990s and once described rock 'n' roll as "boogie-woogie and rhythm & blues mixed."
"The Golden God" gets its moniker from Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, who once leaned over the balcony at the Andaz and said "I am a golden god" while gazing at a nearby billboard of the band's 1975 album, Physical Graffiti.
"I grew up listening to '80s music," Campos tells PEOPLE. "Rock of Ages is definitely on the top of my list of movies to watch this summer. I’m excited for the soundtrack alone. Plus, who wouldn’t want to watch a movie with rock, booze and leather pants?"
Want to try the drinks? Check out the recipes below to concoct your own Rock-tail:
The Golden God
1 oz. Woodford Reserve Kentucky Bourbon
½ St. Germain Elderflower cordial
2 dashes organic agave nectar
2 oz. freshly squeezed pineapple juice
Top off with Boylan Crème Soda
Combine the bourbon, elderflower cordial, agave nectar and pineapple juice in to a mixing glass, and shake well. Strain into a Collins glass full of ice and top of with Boylan Crème Soda.
The Rock & Roll
1 oz. Bacardi Superior rum
½ oz. Sailor Jerry Spiced rum
½ oz. Campari
2 oz. pineapple mint juice (blend pineapple juice and mint leaves)
½ oz. fresh lime juice
Combine light rum, spiced rum, pineapple mint juice, and lime juice into a mixing glass, then shake well. Pour into a Collins glass full of ice and garnish with diced pineapple and mint leaves.

She's back on a movie set! With her major debut movie Battlefield still in theaters, Rihanna jetted to New Orleans this week to shoot a brand new comedy called The End of the World (formerly called The Apocalypse). And we've got pics of the hot bodied chick on the set rocking her fave look--the shortest shorts in her suitcase and a revealing crocheted top. Pics inside...

The flick is starring funny folks Seth Rogen (who also wrote and is directing), Michael Cera, Jason Segel, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, Mindy Kaling, Aziz Ansari & Harry Potter's Emma Watson.
IMDB reports the plot as:
While attending a party at James Franco's house, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and many other celebrities are faced with the apocalypse.


In the scene being shot above, Rihanna and Emma Watson are running out of co-star James Franco's house party because suddenly, of course, the end of the world happens. All the co-stars are funny as hell, and reportedly they are all playing themselves, so this should be a good look for Rih. And it sounds like Kevin Hart drops by for a cameo as well as Rih tweeted a couple hours ago:
Just leaving set! Kevin Hart clearly has childhood issues! Lolololol ! This has to be one of my favorite moments in life #endoftheworld
The film is set for a June 14th, 2013 release.

Photographer claims that Bieber got into a physical altercation with him on Sunday.
By Gil Kaufman
<P>Every young star has to go through certain rites of passage: your first starring role, landing a platinum debut album, first fake tabloid headline. On Saturday, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> earned his stripes by allegedly getting into an altercation with a paparazzi photographer.</P><P>According to <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/27/justin-bieber-suspect-battery-paparazzi-calabasas/" target="_blank">TMZ</a>, Bieber is a suspect in a criminal battery investigation after he got into it with a photographer on Sunday at a mall in Calabasas, California, where the singer lives. The site reported that the unnamed photographer was attempting to snap a shot of Bieber when a physical altercation took place between them.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Justin Bieber Strives For Perfection" id="vid:765701" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>The photographer called 911 after the incident, but when the police arrived Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez had already left the scene. The camera man was transported to a local hospital by ambulance after complaining of pain in his upper torso and released a short time later.</P><P>He filed a police report naming Bieber,18, as the culprit and police are now investigating the incident as a misdemeanor battery case and are looking to speak to Bieber, Gomez and other witnesses.

Here's the skinny:
Girl has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and can’t keep still!
So you can imagine all those loooonnnggg, tedious, ear-splitting hours at the X-Factor auditions are NOT enough to keep our Britney Spears' attention!
According to an insider close to the sweet country chitlin, Brit was diagnosed with ADHD in her teens and used to take medication for it...
But since the docs created a pharmaceutical cocktail to deal with her other ‘mental issues’ BritBrit is strictly prohibited to munch on meds like Adderall and Ritalin.
The insider reveals:
"Simon was made fully aware of Britney's medical history before the contract was signed, so this certainly isn't a big surprise that she needs to take breaks during the audition process. Look, Britney basically has the attention span of a 10-year-old at times.
Her nutrition is closely monitored and so is her caffeine intake, because that can also enhance Britney's inability to focus. Simon knew what he was dealing with before he ever signed her to join the show and it's not shocking to him. Of course, it's rather disconcerting for people that see her do it for the first time but it's truly nothing to be alarmed at. In fact, Simon would have been surprised if she hadn't taken breaks during judging last week, this means she is involved and engaged in the process."
Baby girl, YOU DO YOU!
While we were speculating up a storm over these recurring audition absences, it’s wonderful to know Brit's health is taking priority over her current job.
She's gotta take care of herself before you can take care of potential X-Factors!

Album art from Pink Floyd, Blur and David Bowie also included.

<P>On Thursday (January 7), the U.K.'s Royal Mail unveiled a series of 10 new stamps, honoring the most iconic album covers of the past 40 years.</P><P>The albums featured in the new series are the <a href="/music/artist/rolling_stones/artist.jhtml">Rolling Stones</a>' <i>Let It Bleed,</i> <a href="/music/artist/led_zeppelin/artist.jhtml">Led Zeppelin</a>'s <i>IV,</i> <a href="/music/artist/bowie_david/artist.jhtml">David Bowie</a>'s <i>The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars,</i> <a href="/music/artist/mike_oldfield/artist.jhtml">Mike Oldfield</a>'s <i>Tubular Bells,</i> <a href="/music/artist/clash/artist.jhtml">The Clash</a>'s <i>London Calling,</i> <a href="/music/artist/new_order/artist.jhtml">New Order</a>'s <i>Power, Corruption and Lies,</i> <a href="/music/artist/primal_scream/artist.jhtml">Primal Scream</a>'s <i>Screamadelica,</i> <a href="/music/artist/pink_floyd/artist.jhtml">Pink Floyd</a>'s <i>The Division Bell,</i> <a href="/music/artist/blur/artist.jhtml">Blur</a>'s <i>Parklife</i> and — the most recent album on to make the cut — <a href="/music/artist/coldplay/artist.jhtml">Coldplay</a>'s <i>A Rush of Blood to the Head.</i></P><P>Meant to honor "the most potent graphic images of modern times, many of which have provided a visual soundtrack to people's lives," the series is the end result of a lengthy research process by the Royal Mail, who looked through thousands of album covers by British artists before deciding on the final list. And, during a Wednesday night BBC Radio broadcast, it was revealed that the queen herself actually approved each design.</P><P>Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page — who helped design the cover for <i>IV</i> — was on hand to celebrate the release of the stamps and recalled the mysterious nature of the album's iconic imagery.</P><P>"Almost 40 years after the album came out, nobody knows the old man who featured on the cover, nor the artist who painted him," he said. "That sort of sums up what we wanted to achieve with the album cover, which has remained both anonymous and enigmatic at the same time."</P><P>Of course, any great honor is befitting of an equally great contest, so, on the same day the stamps were made available to the general public, Coldplay decided to give one of their <i>Rush of Blood</i> stamps away. In a message on their official site, the band held a contest to send one lucky fan "a letter using a Coldplay stamp, postmarked with today's issue date."</P><P>"We visited our local post office earlier today and bought some of the Coldplay stamps," the message read. "Very nice they are too."</p>
