Mariah Carey and Jennifer Aniston Wear the Same Valentino Dress

Well, at least they didn't wear it on the same night like Brenda and Kelly did.

More than two decades after our favorite frenemies Brenda (Shannen Doherty) and Kelly (Jennie Garth) from Beverly Hills 90210 showed up to the prom in the same black dress with oversized white bow across the chest, two Hollywood A-listers have resurrected the look.


First, on Nov. 15 at the American Cinematheque Award Gala, Jennifer Aniston wore a black-and-white Valentino gown that looked eerily similar to the one (or rather two) that caused such a stir at the fictional Beverly Hills High School. Then on Jan. 9, Mariah Carey wore the same Valentino frock to the season premiere of American Idol in Westwood, CA.

Brenda and Kelly eventually resolved their sartorial tiff to remain besties (at least until season 3). Here's to Jen and Mariah getting over their fashion faux-pas as well.

Beyonce Shows Off Butt in Sexy New GQ Picture

More bootylicious than ever! Beyonce took over the web on Wednesday Jan. 9 when her sensationally sexy February cover of GQ -- in which she's named among the Sexiest Women of the 21st Century -- was leaked early online. One year after giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy, the singer, 31, appears to be in the best shape of her life: Flashing "underboob" in a cropped t-shirt and revealing her perfect abs and legs with a belly chain and skimpy bottoms.

GQ revealed an interior shot from the story early Thursday -- in which the "I Was Here" singer showcases her world-famous posterior in another seriously skimpy, sexy look. The superstar is set to pick up where Madonna left off at the Super Bowl next month, performing a much-anticipated half-time show.

"One of the reasons I connect to the Super Bowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete," Jay-Z's wife tells GQ. "You know how they sit down and watch whoever they're going to play and study themselves? That’s how I treat this. I watch my performances, and I wish I could just enjoy them, but I see the light that was late. I see, 'Oh God, that hair did not work.' Or 'I should never do that again.' I try to perfect myself. I want to grow, and I’m always eager for new information."



And although Beyonce is over-the-moon to be a mom, the workaholic admits that it was tough not being able to do her job toward the end of her pregnancy in late 2011. "I love my job, but it's more than that: I need it. Because before I gave birth, it was the only time in my life, all throughout my life, that I was lost," she admits. "But I've sacrificed a lot of things, and I've worked harder than probably anyone I know, at least in the music industry. So I just have to remind myself that I deserve it."



The singer and actress is also well aware of her tremendous influence. "I now know that, yes, I am powerful. I'm more powerful than my mind can even digest and understand."

The February issue of GQ hits stands Jan. 22.

Taylor Swift Hints She'll Record Harry Styles Breakup Song?

Is Taylor Swift already writing the wrongs of her most recent relationship?

Just days after her split from One Direction boy bander Harry Styles, the "Red" singer was hard at work on a new project.

"Back in the studio," she tweeted cryptically on Thursday, Jan. 10. "Uh oh..."

The 22-year-old's whirlwind romance with Styles, 18, went south last week during a vacation on Virgin Gorda, the largest of the British Virgin Islands, sources told Us Weekly. They had a fight -- after which Swift cut her holiday short and flew solo back to Nashville.



"[Harry] said something he shouldn't have," one insider told Us. "This [breakup] is definitely going to be for good."

"They are 100 percent over," another source said of the couple, who were first spotted together back in November.



The Grammy-winning superstar didn't reveal any further details about her time in the studio, but she's been vocal about the fact that she regularly mines her personal relationships for new material. In the past, she has written songs about famous ex-flames including John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner, and Joe Jonas.

"I've always lived by the theory that if a guy doesn't want me to write a bad song about him, he won't do bad things," she told Us in 2010. "And he shouldn't, you know?"

Christina Aguilera Gets Emotional Singing New Song "Blank Page" at People's Choice Awards



Christina Aguilera got choked up during the rehearsals for this year's People's Choice Awards, but like the true fighter that she is, soldiered on through her live performance on Wednesday, Jan. 9.

The former Voice coach toned down her usually eclectic wardrobe, opting for a simple white blazer and black slacks for her debut performance of the new song "Blank Page" onstage surrounded by candles.


But Aguilera, 32, wasn’t quite so calm just one day before, sources tell Us Weekly.

"She was very emotional," one insider told Us. "The song is about making mistakes and realizing you can't go back but you can start over with a blank slate."

"Christina expresses herself through her songs and this one is very emotional," the source continued. "This year is a new beginning for her and she's excited."



Another source reported that Aguilera was "sobbing" during rehearsals and even had the audience in tears while rehearsing her emotional song.

Following her performance Wednesday evening, Josh Duhamel hopped onstage to present Aguilera with the "People's Voice" award. The blonde star admitted to crying "four times" during Tuesday's rehearsals.



"Thank you for giving me this form of expression and letting me use my voice," the "Your Body" singer said in her acceptance speech. "It means so much to me. When I sing I believe it truly is the only time I can truly be myself."

"I find a home in music and I hope others can find a home in music as well."

Kate Middleton Turns 31: How She's Celebrating Her Birthday

Put another candle on the cake for Kate Middleton!

The pregnant Duchess will have a lot to celebrate when she turns 31 on Wednesday, Jan. 9, her first birthday as a mom-to-be. But don't expect a big royal bash in her honor.

Prince William's wife will be "spending her birthday privately," a St. James's Palace rep tells Us Weekly.

In fact, the celebration is likely to be even more subdued than last year's intimate dinner for family and friends at Kensington Palace. "She just wants something low-key," a source tells Us. "I suspect she will spend it at her parents' house." (Carole and Michael Middleton live in Bucklebury, Berkshire.)

Of course, the Duchess of Cambridge already got the greatest gift of all: the news that she and Prince William, 30, will be parents in 2013.


"Trying for a baby has been their priority," a royal confidant told Us of the couple in December. "They're both excited to be focusing on a new chapter in their lives."

The men's magazine couldn't keep the singer's stunning cover under wraps -- with early images leaking online Wednesday, Jan. 9.

Making her GQ debut, Jay-Z's wife and mother to daughter Blue Ivy, 12 months, is nearly unrecognizable in her super-sexy photo. Grabbing her curly locks with both hands in a seductive pose, Beyonce, 31, shows off her amazing abs, toned legs and underboob in a cropped football jersey T-shirt and red-printed underwear.


To accessorize the skimpy ensemble, Beyonce wears a gold chain necklace, bracelet and belly chain. Beyonce's tiny undergarments also feature two zippers on either side.

And GQ promises the issue has even more sexy photos!



The magazine officially released the photo and wrote, "Oh, and mark your calendar for Tuesday, January 15 --that's the day we are putting up ALL our photos of Beyonce. (You're welcome.)"

"It was harder to lose weight the second time around," admits Kardashian, mom to son Mason, 3, and daughter Penelope, 6 months (with partner Scott Disick, 29). "I gained 45 pounds with Penelope."



The 5-foot star, now 106 pounds, feels sexier than ever -- and Disick agrees. "He likes me any way," Kardashian tells Us. "But I think his favorite is when I'm skinnier."

Together since 2006, the proud parents are still not sold on the idea of marriage. "We're just so busy with everything going on and we feel good where we are," Kardashian explains. After Penelope's July 2012 arrival, the pair plan to wait before trying for a third child.
