We talk a lot around here about all the records Lady Gaga is breaking, but as of Friday (July 15), there was one title that even Gaga's ferocious Little Monsters couldn't help her win: Queen of Facebook.

Though Mother Monster has an impressive 40,575,791 Facebook fans at press time, she was just pushed down to #2 in the bid to be the most popular woman on Facebook by Rihanna, who slipped into the lead with 40,616,457 fans, or around 40,000 more Facebook admirers than Gaga.

The passing of the torch was noted by Facebook's marketing director Randi Zuckerberg, who tweeted on Thursday, "Sorry, Gaga! As of today, Rihanna has passed Lady Gaga as the #1 most popular woman on Facebook."

Of course Gaga still rules the roost on Twitter (with 11.6 million followers, she bests Rihanna, who is down at #13 in Twitter followers), where she was the first person to surpass the 10 million mark. And that's just one of the many records she's smashed on her way to the top.

She can also breathe easier now that her personal YouTube channel has been restored after going offline earlier this week thanks to a copyright-violation issues.

A YouTube spokesperson told MTV News that the takedown order was given after Gaga had accumulated an unspecified amount of copyright claims, which results in an automatic suspension of an account. The clip that appeared to trigger the suspension involved unauthorized posting of a recent performance from Japan involving the popular boy band SMAP, who appeared in a medley of Gaga tunes on a TV broadcast.

Playmates Defend Hugh Hefner's Sexual Prowess

Playmates Defend Hugh Hefner's Sexual Prowess

Hugh Hefner's ex-fiancée Crystal Harris may have trashed his bedroom skills on Howard Stern's radio show -- but other visitors to Hef's boudoir are giving him glowing reviews! While Harris claims that she only had one sexual encounter with Hugh and it lasted "like two seconds," People got the scoop from several other Playmates who speak highly of 85-year-old Hefner's prowess as a lover.

"I've heard girls say they have a lot of fun in there," says Hiromi Oshima (pictured above), the magazine's June 2004 centerfold and the second Japanese-born Playboy Playmate.

"Hef is a lover," agrees Dani Mathers, a Playmate who currently works for Playboy TV. "I think they definitely had sex more than that one time and it wasn't two minutes. Hef definitely has a sex life."

Shanna MacLaughlin, who posed for the magazine last year, didn't testify to his prowess -- but did say that he deserved better treatment. "I think the whole thing with Crystal is really sad, and Hef is such an amazing man," she tells People. "He provides so much for everyone that's around him and all of the Playmates."

Hefner has certainly been the classier one in the breakup so far, refusing to play it for publicity. He has commented periodically on Twitter, mostly to say that the split caught him by surprise and that Crystal's subsequent negative comments have been lies. He even turned down the opportunity to retaliate against her embarrassing Howard Stern interview.

"Howard Stern would like me to respond to his interview with Crystal on his show tomorrow, but I don't want to throw her under the bus," he tweeted on Wednesday.

Then again, he hasn't exactly been home nursing a broken heart; the world's most envied octogenarian announced on Tuesday that he was "happy to be in a better place with new girlfriends Anna Sophia Berglund and Shera Bechard." Berglund (Miss January 2011) is 25 years old, by the way, and Bechard (Miss November 2011) is 27. As if you couldn't guess!

Zara Phillips? Royal Wedding Set For Saturday

It’s Royal Wedding #2! Zara Phillips and her soon to be husband, Mike Tindall, will exchange vows on Saturday in a low key event compared to that of her cousin, Prince William. No cameras will be on hand to capture the ceremony, nor will people be lining the streets hoping to catch a glimpse of the bride and groom. Details of their wedding has been scant, but here’s some info we’ve gathered thus far. They will wed in Edinburgh, Scotland on Saturday, with their ceremony starting at 3:00 PM at Canongate Kirk. Their reception will be held at the Palace of Holyrodhouse, which is where the Queen resides while in Scotland. The 30-year-old blonde beauty is the daughter of Princess Anne and her first husband, Mark Phillips. She is the oldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II. She is a skilled equestrian, but missed the Summer Olympics in 2004 and 2008 when her horse Toytown was injured. Phillips and her rugby playing fiance, Mike Tindall have been dating since 2003. Tindall has been with the Gloucester Rugby team since 2005. He popped the question in December of 2010 after being together seven years. Wow, that’s a long courtship, eh? A Royal [...]

'Star Trek 2' Close To Locking In Director J.J. Abrams

Since finishing 'Super 8,' Abrams working on 'Trek 2' script.

Trekkies and J.J. Abrams fans alike can rejoice, for the "Super 8" director is at long last close to committing to helm "Star Trek 2." Now that Abrams can no longer use his stock answer — "The truth is that my focus has been so much on finishing 'Super 8' " — to avoid giving any "Star Trek 2" updates, Deadline has confirmed that he is working with the flick's writers and is close to committing to direct the sequel to his hit "Star Trek" reboot.

This must have been the "announcement" Abrams promised MTV News would be coming "soon" back at the "Super 8" premiere in June. But it also means that the film will miss its intended June 29, 2012, release date.

That's good news for "G.I. Joe: Cobra Rises," though, which Deadline is calling "G.I. Joe: Retaliation." The entertainment news site has learned that Paramount is planning on giving the June release date to the "G.I. Joe" sequel and slating "Star Trek 2" for either winter 2012 or summer 2013.

Either way, Paramount has agreed to be ready to jump into production on the flick whenever Abrams is. Abrams is now sitting down with writers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman to polish up the "Star Trek 2" script, which Deadline is guessing will begin production in January.

MTV News caught up with Damon Lindelof at San Diego Comic-Con, where he chatted about the current status of the script. "There was a lot of work going on over the course of the last year between Bob [Orci] and Alex [Kurtzman] and I," Lindelof said. "We generated, like, a 90-page half-script half-treatment based on some meetings that we've had with J.J. [Abrams]. Now that J.J. is finally finished with 'Super 8,' we've kind of, not thrown out that material, but we're reworking a lot of it."

He added that the final product of the script will hopefully improve upon the sequel the same way "Batman Begins" improved upon "The Dark Knight." " 'Trek 2' has to be better than 'Trek 1,' " Lindelof said. "It has to."

Check out everything we've got on "Star Trek 2."
