While critics often slam Lady Gaga about her sphere of influence -- suggesting her web popularity has waned or that the scale was thumbed, and that most of her Twitter follows are fake -- she was just anointed the Second Most Influential Icon of the last decade. The accolade came from Time, a credible publication to say the least, via a Face-Off voting bracket.

Selena Gomez appeared on 'The Ellen DeGeneres' show to perform her new single 'Come & Get It,' but not before she spoke to the host about being starstruck by meeting Brad Pitt at the 2013 Movie Awards and about life after Justin Bieber. Thankfully, she didn't say she made him cry... this time.
Beyonce just launched her 65-date Mrs. Carter World Tour in Serbia (April 15), but what people are talking about are her faux nipples. Headlights, man. They get more media coverage than Justin Bieber's drama! But then again, these are no ordinary nips.

On tonight's (April 15) battle round episode of 'The Voice,' rocker Garrett Gardner was pitted against soul singer J-Sun for Team Shakira's first vocal bout of the night. Actually, it was her first battle round ever, since this is her first season. The twosome turned in an alternatively rock and soul version of the Heavy's 'How You Like Me Now?' It was a hard decision for Shakira, who went back and forth, espousing the virtues of both.
On last night's battle round episode (April 15) of Season 4 of 'The Voice,' two belters closed out the show with an epic vocal bout.
