When a woman gets divorced, it's common practice for her to go back to her maiden name. When you're Demi Moore, there are handles to consider. Moore, whose marriage to Ashton Kutcher ended last year, has finally gotten around to changing her Twitter name. Moore tweeted to her nearly 5M followers, "So for now it will be @justdemi It could grow on me!" Moore got some flack for keeping her old Twitter handle, @MrsKutcher, for months after she separated from Kutcher. At the time Moore said changing her Twitter handle just wasn't "a top priority." She was probably busy with rehab.

The King of Pop will soon be on your pop can. Silhouettes of Michael Jackson will appear on Pepsi cans as part of a new global marketing campaign. Jackson was once the drink company's biggest spokesman, when it signed the singer to a then-record $5M sponsorship contract in 1984. According to The Wall Street Journal, the new campaign is part of PepsiCo's efforts to revamp the Pepsi brand, which has been losing ground behind archrival Coca-Cola Co. The campaign will coincide with the 25th anniversary of Jackson's "Bad" album. The special-edition cans will hit the shelves in China this weekend and be in stateside stores later this month.

She's back to clubbing. She's back to being late to work. And now Lindsay Lohan is reportedly back with her old girlfriend, Samantha Ronson. They were spotted together at a New York nightclub earlier this week. The two began their two-year-relationship in 2007. "Lindsay and Sam were whispering and laughing and they left the club holding hands," a source told X17Online. "They didn't care who saw them, and they definitely seem to be back on. It was just like the old days — they couldn't get enough of each other!" We can't say we support Lohan falling back into old habits.
