Justin Bieber has recorded a song with Chris Brown and Brown sent the word out on twitter that it’s about to drop:

“ME and @justinbieber got a BANGER/SMASH record for all the fans out there at the top of the NEW YEAR!!! 2011.”

Bieber had dropped the duet tip back in October on his twitter saying:

“Kinda hyped rt now. for a new single teamed up with one of my friends and an artist I used to sing covers of on youtube. BIG RECORD. SMASH!!” He then tweeted a video of himself covering Brown’s “With You.”

This could be some serious rehab for Brown’s very tarnished image but could it hurt Bieber’s?

Brown plead guilty to assaulting singer Rihanna in June of 2009. He has successfully completed his community service and the court-ordered domestic violence program but will be on probation for 3 1/2 more years.

Giving credit where credit is due, Brown did step up and took responsibility for his actions and has done everything he’s been asked by the court. He’s kept out of trouble, but what he did to Rihanna was awful.

So the questions remain: Is it time to let him off the hook? Are you OK with Justin choosing to record with Brown?

What do you think? Sound off and let us know!

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are hilarious as they crack each other up in the DVD commentary on the tent scene in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Pattinson is amused and then slightly annoyed, but joking as Jacob (Taylor Lautner) crawls in Bella’s (Stewart) sleeping bag for the infamous boyfriend/girlfriend jealous werewolf scene.

“God, he’s so gross. So brazen!” Rob says. “I really don’t like Jacob.”
“Aww,” Kristen says.
“Look at him and his tattoo and stuff. Ugh,” Rob scoffs.
“He’s just young and overzealous,” she says, in defense of the young wolf.
“He’s not!” Rob insists. “He does it on purpose. He’s looking at me when he’s saying this stuff.”
“Yeah, that is weird,” Kristen agrees.

The DVD is on sale December 4th. Hope there is lots more of Kristen & Robert’s playful banter and silly giggling! They are very cute together.

Chloe Moretz attended the 2010 Children’s BAFTA Awards in London on Sunday November 28th. The young actress wore the Chanel dress that Jessica Alba was featured in for one of her two covers on Elle magazine for December 2010. (See all the photos below.)

Moretz has been cast in the film Hick (based on the novel from Andrea Portes) and today she gained a costar: Kirsten Dunst. The story is about 13 year old abandoned by her folks who makes her way to Las Vegas and is taken in by Dunst’s con-artist Glenda.

Moretz’s character Luli is raped in the book (and it is likely to happen in the film as well.) How graphic it will be on screen remains to be seen and this is not new for a young  girl to portray a victim of rape. In 2007 Dakota Fanning’s parents and filmmakers received sharp criticism for allowing her to take on Hounddog, where Fanning’s on screen character was also victim of a sexual assault.

Fanning appears well-adjusted and downright happy today which makes it seem as though if enough care is taken, the actress can be young and not leave the film damaged but is it worth the risk? Many actor regardless of their age will say how a character – especially an emotionally scarred one – will live with them long after the movie shoot; the psychic “dust” still clings to them.

So what do you think? Is this a disturbing trend – not just this but the number of assassins and killers that teenage girls are being cast as? Is it ok as long as the actress is well-taken care of emotionally? Will you see this movie?

The annual December Party Issue of Savvy magazine has beautiful Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr grabbing the cover for 2010. The 25 year-old Pirahna 3D star spoke about her style, growing up in Minnesota and relationships:

On style: “I think the coolest thing is when you take your personality and put it into style. You can hire a stylist and go to fancy stores and pick out things that are on the shelves and all of a sudden you’re ‘stylish’ — it’s like no, you’re trendy.”

On family: “Growing up, my entire family lived in the same town, and we got together for everyone’s birthday and every holiday. My family has always been very, very close. I’m Vanessa when I’m on set — but off set, I’m still just Jessica from Wisconsin.”

On keeping her relationships under wraps: “With things in my personal life, if I talk about it, it doesn’t stay personal. I’m just a normal girl who really enjoys her job, and so you have to take the other things that come with being in the public eye. People are going to make assumptions, but I try to be good at what I do and work hard.”

Emma Watson scored the Singapore cover of Seventeen magazine for December 2010. The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 actress has a fresh holiday look for the year ending issue.

Emma is always stylish and fashionable but one  popular bandwagon the Brown University sophomore will not jump on is the celebrity fragrance train. Watson said:

“I can’t understand this fragrance thing. Why would you want to smell like somebody else? Don’t you want to smell like yourself?”

Watson is committed to continuing in the fashion industry in a capacity that helps others or the environment (such as her People Tree collaboration or her more recent pairing with Alberta Ferretti.) She is so strongly opposed to celebrity branding she said:

“The idea of making my own perfume makes me want to vomit.”

That’s pretty definitive. No Emma scent for the masses.
