Beyonce copy cat

 Beyoncé's performance of "Run the World (Girls)" at last Sunday's Billboard Music Awards earned her a standing ovation and had fans buzzing, but some are criticizing the singer for copying another performer's routine. Italian pop star Lorella Cuccarini gave a similar performance last year.

Both singers performed in front of a screen which featured synchronized graphics and dancers. Beyoncé admits she was aware of Cuccarini's routine, and called it an inspiration. She tells AOL Music, "My makeup artist showed me the performance of Lorella Cuccarini a year ago, and it inspired me so much. I then met with the talented people who worked on it. The technology and concept were so genius. Thank God for YouTube or I would have never been exposed to something so inspiring. I never worked so hard on anything in my life as that performance for the Billboard Awards."

pippa middleton oprah

As Catherine enjoys her honeymoon with new husband Prince William after a flawless royal wedding, back home her little sister Pippa has sparked a media storm all of her own.

The two sisters had long been seen together at parties, the pair strangely interchangeable with their glossy brown hair and figure-hugging dresses.

But at the royal wedding on April 29, it was Pippa who emerged the star for many of the two billion viewers worldwide, looking gorgeous as maid of honour in a figure-hugging white Alexander McQueen dress.

Twitter exploded into a frenzy of admiration, and more than 200,000 Facebook users have now joined the "Pippa Middleton Ass Appreciation Society".

A mock-up video using footage from the wedding showing close-ups of Pippa's behind has been viewed 550,000 times on YouTube, and a US porn mogul meanwhile has offered her $5 million to star in "one explicit scene".

The 27-year-old fuelled the interest at the wedding by flirting with the best man, William's younger brother Prince Harry, sparking huge online debate about whether a second Middleton sister would soon become a royal bride.

Pippa had been a well-known figure on Britain's social circuit for years, and in 2008 she was named the most eligible singleton in society magazine Tatler. But it was not until a fortnight ago that the world caught up.

olivia wilde bradley cooper

 Bradley Cooper and Olivia Wilde were flirty and inseparable at Monday's Cinema Society afterparty for The Hangover II, held at NYC's Standard Hotel Sunday night.

Cooper (who split from Renee Zellweger after two years in March) and Wilde (who filed for divorce from Tao Ruspoli in March after eight years together) arrived together at the the VIP bash. After Cooper, 35, briefly schmoozed the crowd, he joined Wilde, 27, at a VIP table with another couple. The actor and House: MD beauty had an "intimate conversation," according to eyewitnesses.

A smiling Cooper was "really enjoying the conversation," one witness reveals, as Wilde kept her hand on the back of his seat. The duo chit-chatted with a few other guests -- she with actor Patrick Wilson, he with a flirty model and Hangover 2 costar Zach Galifiankis -- but the duo never left one another's side throughout the night.

Just before 1 a.m., Cooper, Wilde and a small group boarded a black Escalade -- headed for an unknown destination.

"The mark of a good marriage is partnership and continuing to feel inspired by your spouse. I had that with Tao," Wilde told Glamour of her union with Italian Prince Ruspoli. "But the end is not necessarily the tragedy. Staying in a relationship that is no longer working is the tragedy. Living unhappily -- that's the tragedy."
