Miley Cyrus Liked Katy Perry’s Kiss, But Which Celeb Really Had Her Fangirling?

It seems like Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus had an A-list audience witness their steamy smooch.

On Saturday, Cyrus took over Los Angeles' Staples Center for her Bangerz Tour, and halfway through the show, she planted a big kiss on the fellow pop star.

However, Perry wasn't the only celebrity to get in on the Miley action. Wayne Coyne from Flaming Lips joined Miley onstage for a performance of the band's "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Part 1."

Other stars came out in droves to witness the singer twerk, slide down an inflatable tongue and straddle a giant hot dog. The newly engaged and possibly pregnant Christina Aguilera gave a big "cheers" to Miley, who reminded "The Voice" mentor of her days.

"Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star Khloe got a little backstage loving from Boo the Bear.

Khloe's sister Kendall was reportedly also in attendance, as well as One Direction's Harry Styles, but no word if the rumored couple were spotted together.

Max George, who is going on hiatus from The Wanted following their tour, was so impressed by Miley's onstage antics that he thought he was "tripping."

Joel Madden tweeted that Miley "puts on a great show." MTV Artist to Watch singer Jake Miller tweeted, along with a photo of them together, that she "killed it." Miley's dad, Billy Ray, said that she had the Staples Center "rockin."

However, out of all these A-listers, which also included Diane Keaton, Sarah Paulson and Kellan Lutz, Miley was completely "fan girling," over one attendee in ...

‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ Heads To Sith Homeworld In New Trailer

At the end of the fifth season of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," fans were left hanging. They knew another series of episodes had been produced featuring adventures that take place between "Star Wars: Episode II" and "Star Wars: Episode III," but as far as they knew there was no plan to release them.

Then came news that Netflix would broadcast the missing season as "Star Wars: The Clone Wars — The Lost Missions" starting on March 7. And now, finally, we've gotten our first good look at what to expect from season six with this nearly three minute long trailer.

Relying heavily on traditional John Williams music, the trailer focuses nearly entirely on diminutive Jedi Yoda. Of most note, not only will we getting to see Luke Skywalker's future trainer on the planet Dagobah (known well to viewers of "The Empire Strikes Back"), but we'll see him travel to the evil Sith home world.

Though "Star Wars" continuity looks to take a bit of a corrective turn with J.J. Abrams' "Episode VII," this series — at least for the time being — is still in continuity. And with the public in a fervor over any news about upcoming "Star Wars" properties, it looks like "SW:TCW:TLM" will scratch that itch with a lightsaber while we wait.

50 Cent Left Dr. Dre’s Label, But They Still Have A New Single Coming

50 Cent is no longer signed to Dr. Dre, but that isn't going to stop the dynamic duo from collaborating.

On Thursday, the G-Unit juggernaut, announced his split with Eminem's Shady Records, Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. Then, on Friday, he dropped from his upcoming Animal Ambition LP, kicking off his deal with Caroline Distribution and Capitol Music Group.

For his next trick, Fif is hooking back up with his "In da Club" producer for a new track called "Smoke."

"This one is produced by Dr. Dre," he told the Associate Press on Saturday, while he was at Nascar's Daytona 500 race.

After the split with Shady, Eminem has expressed support for his rap protégé and his new endeavors. "Both myself and Shady Records are grateful to have had the chance to play a part in 50′s career," Em said in a statement released Thursday. "Shady simply would not be what it is without 50 Cent. I've developed a great friendship with 50 over the years, and that's not going to change. We know 50 will have success in his new situation, and we remain supporters of both him and G-Unit."

50 believes that his new distribution deal for G-Unit, which is structured through an independent channel, will free him up to make unique brand partnerships that he couldn't make under the Interscope umbrella.

"On the brand extension, it's obvious I've been the leader in that actual area," he said. "When I fell in love with hip-hop culture, it was actually the opposite, it would be selling ...

Miley Cyrus Adds The Flaming Lips To Her Growing List Of Classic Covers

Wayne Coyne has collaborated with everyone from Ke$ha to Neon Indian, and now he's adding yet another unlikely duet to his roster: Miley Cyrus. Yup, the queen of covers (and tongue-wagging) took to the stage on Saturday at the Staples Center in L.A. with the Flaming Lips frontman to perform a rousing cover of beloved Lips classic, "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots."

"I hope I can inspire you guys as much as the Flaming Lips have inspired me," Cyrus cried into the crowd before Coyne trotted onstage holding a balloon spelling out "f— yeah."

"[They] encouraged me to always be myself and to make music because I love it and always invent something new for my fans!" she said.

The two — along with Steven Drozd — then performed the Lips hit not once, but twice!

Despite the seeming incongruity of the moment, Cyrus is no stranger to covering jams by what one might call "more seasoned" acts. Sure, she's lent her talents to covers of contemporaries like Lana Del Rey and the Arctic Monkeys, but her history of cribbing on other bands gets pretty canonical.

Check out her most historical of covers below, plus a few that we'd like to see made manifest:

OutKast

Everyone's celebrating the Outkast reunion — especially Miley. She busted out a cover of "Hey Ya" during her BANGERZ tour that had the whole audience whipping out their camera-phones. No polaroid pictures made an appearance, though, sadly.

Dolly Parton

"Jolene" is a frequent cover favorite of the former Disney Star — and a nod to her Southern roots.

Nirvana

Miley got ...

Lil Wayne’s <i>Tha Carter V</i> Track List Is Fake, But YMCMB’s Is Real

The YMCMB family is getting ready for a big year of releases, beginning with their new compilation, Young Money: Rise of an Empire, and Lil Wayne's anticipated album Tha Carter V. This weekend we got track lists for both projects, but it turns out that one of them was a fake.

A purported track list for Wayne's album surfaced on the Internet Friday, but YMCMB president Mack Maine took to Twitter over the weekend to announce that it wasn't the real deal.

That clarification was followed by the official cover art and track list for the label's Rise of An Empire compilation, which is currently due on March 11. As expected, Drake's "Trophies" will appear on the project, in addition to Nicki Minaj's recent release "Lookin' Ass."

Young Money: Rise of An Empire track list:

» "We Alright" (Euro feat. Birdman, Lil Wayne)
» "Trophies" (Drake)
» "Bang" (Lil Twist feat. Euro & Cory Gunz)
» "Senile" (Tyga feat. Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne)
» "Induction Speech" (Euro)
» "One Time" (Lil Twist feat. Tyga, YG)
» "Hittin Like" (Shanell f. Chanel West Coast)

‘Walking Dead’: 13 Burning Questions About ‘Claimed’

"The Walking Dead" has a fever, and the only cure is more cowbell — and by "more cowbell," we mean "classified."

Mullet-rocking scientist Eugene is the proud owner of that classified information, as revealed last night on . It turns out that Abraham Ford, Rosita and Eugene — the three characters we met at the end of last week's hour — are on their way to Washington, D.C., because Eugene has been in contact with government officials about how to end the plague. But how much does he really know?

Elsewhere in the episode, Rick engages in the most explosive bathroom encounter this side of "Who does Number Two work for," while Michonne and Carl get into some crazy-cheese shenanigans of their own. Relive "Claimed" with us while we ask our burning questions about the episode:

1. What does Eugene know? What the scientist lacks in marksmanship, he apparently makes up for in information. If we take the episode at face value, then Eugene knows the cause of the apocalypse, and might be the only man who can restore the world to its former glory. But should we take the information at face value? Or is there more to Eugene's story than meets the hairline?

2. When will we find out what Eugene knows? Probably not for a while, certainly not next week; based on previews, it appears that Glenn and his new pals will be sitting out of the upcoming episode. Even still, this is a major bombshell to drop, one that likely won't resolve entirely until the end of the season, ...
