Lily Allen: I Had an Amazing Wedding!

Soaking up all of the joys that wedded bliss has to offer, Lily Allen just can't stop gushing about her recent nuptials to Sam Cooper.

Earlier this week, the blushing bride took to her Twitter account to make her married life a little more official (to the world of social media, at least) - by changing her username from @lilyroseallen to @MrsLRCooper.

Newlywed Lily also took to the site to tell followers, "I had the most amazing wedding, Thank you to everyone who went to such extraordinary efforts to make it that way."

Adding to this super-special time in their lives, hubby Sam announced that the two are expecting a baby - this comes just seven months after Allen endured a miscarriage.

Did Jennifer Aniston Break Up Justin Theroux & His Girlfriend?

Did Jennifer Aniston Break Up Justin Theroux & His Girlfriend?

After being spotted having an extended dinner together in Los Angeles in mid-May, Jennifer Aniston and actor Justin Theroux seemingly went public with their romance at an MTV Movie Awards after party in early June. But amid the reports of the actors' budding relationship, one thing the media forgot to mention was that Theroux, 39, may have still been with his longtime live-in girlfriend throughout the whole thing!

The New York Post's Page Six has learned that Hollywood costume designer Heidi Bivens, Theroux's partner of 14 years, moved out of the couple's New York apartment this past weekend. "Heidi and Justin have been together for 14 years. They met when she was 20 years old and he 24, and yes, she just moved out of their home last weekend," a rep for Bivens confirms to Page Six. "She has no comment."

Whether things between Theroux and Bivens have been over for a while or ended abruptly thanks to his romance with Aniston, 42, seems to be up for debate. "(Bivens) was completely blindsided," an inside source tells Page Six. "She and Justin had been together for years, they had a home. Then he met Jennifer and everything changed. At first he claimed he and Jen were friends."

However, a friend of Theroux tells a different story. "Things were already over between him and Heidi before he got close to Jen," the friend says.

Meanwhile, an inside source divulges to Us Weekly that Theroux and Aniston "started hooking up" while filming Wanderlust in Georgia last fall, and that Theroux was already on the outs with Bivens at the time (though apparently not completely broken up). "He had been trying to leave her for a while," the source adds. "He broke it off for good in March."

We certainly hope that things between Theroux and Bevins had run their course before Aniston came into the picture. If there's anyone who knows how "uncool" it is to have a partner stolen right out from under her, it's Jen.

Michael Jackson's 'Thriller': Story Behind The 'Glee' Cover

MJ classic is mashed up with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' 'Heads Will Roll' for post-Super Bowl episode.

Madonna, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and now, finally, Michael Jackson. The cast of "Glee" has covered plenty of icons during their first two seasons, but it's taken 33 episodes to get around to the King of Pop.

With a huge catalog of Jackson songs, the singing, dancing students of McKinley High paid homage to the late singer with one of his biggest staples (and, arguably, the greatest music video of all time) with their take on "Thriller."

The groundbreaking single from Jackson's best-selling album of the same name was mashed up with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Heads Will Roll" for the post-Super Bowl episode (titled "The Sue Sylvester Bowl Shuffle"), featuring a zombie-fied "Glee" cast.

Bound to become a smash all over again (though with its nonstop rotation at Halloween parties and wedding receptions until the end of time, it's never truly gone away), here's a brief history of the dance/pop classic.

Released on January 23, 1984, "Thriller" was the seventh, and final, single to be released from Jackson's smash record. According to the RIAA, the album (released by Epic Records) has gone gold 29 times, narrowly edging out the Eagles' Greatest Hits 1971-1975 for the title of best-selling album of all time.

In 2009, MTV News estimated that the Thriller album was poised to go triple diamond, meaning 30 million records sold in the U.S. alone.

After Thriller's other singles (including "Billie Jean," "Beat It" and "Wanna Be Startin' Something") dominated the charts, it was time for the spooky, undeniably original track to take over. The song "Thriller" also appeared on many of Jackson's other albums, including the compilations HIStory and Number Ones.

Clocking in at a little under six minutes (though the radio edit was closer to four-and-a-half), the song features pop-music mainstays like synthesizers but shakes things up with its spooky sound effects, including creaking floors, howling and thunder.

The song was produced by Quincy Jones and written and composed by Rod Tempterton and spent 14 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #4.

But it's the music video for "Thriller" that truly made it the phenomenon it was in the '80s and continues to be today. Less a music video than a mini-motion picture, the video (over 13 minutes long and directed by John Landis) won three MTV Video Music Awards and has been named the best music video of all time by many outlets, including VH1 for the special "VH1: 100 Greatest Videos."

The chiller features Jackson in that iconic red leather jacket on a date with his girlfriend (played by Ola Ray) before things go terribly awry. After all, as Jackson (whose disclaimer at the start of the video reads, "This film in no way endorses a belief in the occult") sings in the opening line, "It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark." Cue werewolves, zombies, Vincent Price's soliloquy and one of the most memorable dance sequences ever.

The video was (no pun intended) a monster hit. As the Los Angeles Times notes, "At the height of the song's popularity, MTV would run the 14-minute 'Thriller' video twice an hour."

Choreographed by Jackson and Michael Peters (who, as the LA Times also reported, appears in the video as one of the zombies) and with makeup by Oscar-winner Rick Baker (also an undead "Thriller" extra) was made with a huge budget of an estimated $500,000.

Still, the efforts paid off. Landis (who told the "Today" show back in 2009 that no one wanted to give them the funds to make the risky vid) made the accompanying 45-minute documentary about the venture, called "The Making of Thriller." Featuring the behind-the-scenes wizardry, as well as the music video in full, it would go on to move more than 10 million copies.

Since then, the signature song and video have seen their share fair of tributes in movies (notably in the 2004 comedy"13 Going on 30") and TV ("South Park," "Family Guy," "30 Rock," among others), not to mention the countless flash mobs that have gone viral. (Remember the prisoners in the Philippines who became overnight phenomenons on YouTube?)

Even with the "Glee" number, this likely won't be the last incarnation of "Thriller." Billboard reported in October that a "Thriller" film is in the works. With a plot allegedly revolving around Price's narration, Kenny Ortega, who directed Jackson's last effort, "This Is It," will reportedly helm the project.

Since Jackson's untimely passing on June 25, 2009, the song and video's legacy continue to live on. In the week following Jackson's death, "Thriller" was the best-selling track in the U.S., with sales of 167,000 copies on the Billboard Hot Digital Singles chart.

Then, in December 2009, "Thriller" was the first music video to ever be inducted into the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. It seems "no mere mortal can resist ... the thriller" after all.

Crystal Harris: Why I Called Off My Wedding to Hugh Hefner

Crystal Harris: Why I Called Off My Wedding to Hugh Hefner

Hugh Hefner's bad break-up with fiancée Crystal Harris just got worse. Not only does Hef have to deal with a broken heart, he has to see her splashed all over the July issue of Playboy -- billed as "Mrs. Crystal Hefner," no less!

In an embarrassing coincidence, the magazine -- which features a mostly-naked Harris (wearing naught but Hef's signature smoking jacket) on the cover -- hits shelves just three days after Crystal, 25, called off her wedding to Hefner, 85. The headline reads "America's Princess: Introducing Mrs. Crystal Hefner," and would have been apropos if the ceremony happened as planned on Saturday. (It's too bad they didn't have time to change that headline to "Runaway Bride.")

So what happened, exactly, to lead to this awkward wedding cancellation? Harris told Ryan Seacrest's radio show that everything was moving too fast.

"For a while I've been having second thoughts about everything," Harris confesses. "I haven't really been at peace with myself lately. I didn't think it was really fair to him. It was all happening too fast for me... Was this what I wanted?"

Harris swears that the decision to split up was ultimately "mutual" and -- contrary to rumors -- went down without any big drama. "There was no fight," she says. "We sat down and we talked about it."

Still, there are all kinds of crazy stories flying around about what really happened. There's speculation that Harris was cheating on Hef with Dr. Phil McGraw's son. Harris' rep denies this accusations, and Crystal tells Seacrest that she's "not seeing someone else." The Twitterverse, meanwhile, is wondering if Harris only stayed engaged to Hef long enough to promote her single "Club Queen," which dropped the day before the break-up -- and in fact, Hefner re-tweeted one of the comments to this effect. (It seems he deleted it, but you can read it here.)

Then there's the most jaw-dropping rumor of all: that Harris was telling media outlets she would dump Hefner at the altar for half a million dollars. Page Six reports that Hef's fiancée was offering to put on the dress, walk down the aisle, and then say in front of everyone that she couldn't go through with it. Knowing the wedding was going to be filmed for a TV special, she allegedly figured she could sell the dramatic event to the highest bidder. The plan fell through, according to the report, because no one was willing to match her price.

But could the reason for breaking off the wedding be something much simpler? "This isn't the lifestyle for me, multiple girls all around," Harris said to Seacrest. Harris adds that Hefner -- who has been comforted by Girls Next Door Bridget Marquardt, Kendra Wilkinson and Holly Madison since the split -- was only marrying her "because he thought it was what I wanted." Guess you can't ask a leopard to change his spots -- or a playboy to change his smoking jacket.

Toni Braxton Braxton Family Values Interview

Toni Braxton Braxton Family Values Interview

 

Before Toni Braxton entered the reality-show world with her WE tv reality show Braxton Family Values (whose two-hour season finale is Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET), she was best known as a once-multiplatinum-selling singer who’d weathered her share of financial woes and health issues. Getting the 43-year-old singer to do the show took convincing from younger sister Tamar that it was the perfect venue to clear up misconceptions about who she is.

"I think the biggest misconception about me in the last few years is financial issues, where people think I’ve just spent all my money," Braxton -- a mom to sons Denim, 9, and Diezel, 8, who’s autistic (dad is musician husband Keri Lewis, from whom she’s separated) -- tells iVillage exclusively. "When I filed bankruptcy for the second time, I remember feeling really embarrassed. I felt like a failure, I felt that people were going to judge me as this person who spent all her money. What a lot of people don’t know is that my first bankruptcy, my royalty statement after I sold all those records was less than $2,000. This bankruptcy, because of my illness when I was diagnosed with lupus, I had to cancel my Vegas show. I had to file bankruptcy to protect myself.”

Braxton Family Values has given a no-holds-barred glimpse into her life, including the often-heated bickering with her singer sisters Trina, Tamar, Traci and Towanda. "We may fight really hard and drive each other to drink -- literally, with my sister Trina," says Braxton. "But we love each other and that’s what family’s about."

And the singer doesn’t have any regrets about doing the show. Well, maybe one. "I do regret having that towel on my head and the toothpaste on my cheeks," Braxton says about one episode. "I could have been a little bit cuter. I didn’t have to be that candid."

Watch our exclusive video interview to hear more about how Toni Braxton is coping with lupus and how she balances life as a mom.

Clarence Clemons, Sax Player For Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, Suffers Stroke

E Street Band member, 69, suffered stroke in his home in Florida.

Clarence Clemons, legendary member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, has suffered a stroke according to The Associated Press.

A source close to the saxophonist confirmed to the AP that the 69-year-old suffered the stroke in his Florida home on Sunday night; no further details about his health were currently available at press time. However, Showbiz 411 reported that the musician's condition is very serious.

Send Clarence your well wishes on Facebook!

Most recently, Clemons was featured on Lady Gaga's massive Born This Way album, appearing on two tracks and performing with her live on "American Idol" last month.

Clemons, also known as "The Big Man," began performing with the E Street Band in 1972, giving an assist on Springsteen's debut album Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.. In addition to appearing on 20 albums with Springsteen, including the breakthrough Born to Run, he's worked with a number of other artists including Gaga, Jackson Browne and Ringo Starr. He's also appeared in films like "New York, New York"and "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure," as well as TV shows like "The Wire" and "The Simpsons."

Recently, however, he has had problems with his health, and following the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's tour in 2009, he had to have both knees replaced and a spinal fusion surgery, according to Rolling Stone. But he vowed, "As long as my mouth, hands and brain still work I'll be out there doing it."

When MTV News caught up with Gaga's longtime collaborator, Fernando Garibay, the producer recalled how excited Gaga was to hit the studio with one of her icons for the songs "Hair" and her latest single, "Edge of Glory."

"She grew up listening to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, and she goes, 'Can we get Clarence?' And I go, 'Of course we can get Clarence. You're Lady Gaga!' " he said. "You can see the years of influence and you can see her lighting up when he's playing [with her in the studio]."
