Looks like the feud between Elton John and Madonna may be over. Madonna dedicated the song "Masterpiece" to Elton during the final show of the European leg of her MDNA Tour. The feud between the two divas really heated up when Madge beat out Elton for Best Original Song at the Golden Globes. Since then, Elton has been lashing out at Madonna, calling her a "fairground stripper." Now we wait and see if Elton returns the favor. Maybe Elton will dedicate "The Bitch is Back" to Madonna.

The country's Press Complaints Commission said it had received 850 complaints about the photos, but none from St. James' Palace. The paper ran the photos with the headline: "Heir It Is."

Country crooner Randy Travis was arrested for driving under the influence on Tuesday, and the more details that emerge about the story, the odder it gets. Travis was reportedly found naked in the road with his 1998 Pontiac Trans Am damaged and off the road nearby. He also made threats against Texas state troopers who responded to a 911 call from a passerby. These details bring up all sorts of questions. Was he naked when he got in the car? Did he take his clothes off after the assumed car crash? Why does he drive a '98 Trans Am? Hopefully some of these questions will be answered in the coming weeks.

Madonna received boos and yells at her concert in Paris on Thursday night after cutting her show down to only 45 minutes. The concert was added to the singer’s tour at the last minute, and was filled mostly with members of her official fan club. The tickets started at 80 euros and went all the way up to 280, and some fans camped out overnight to see the show. We're guessing there are going to be a lot of French people who don't renew their membership to Madonna's fan club.

According to MGA Entertainment, Gaga "engaged in intentional and deliberate delays" to make sure that the doll's released coincided with the release of her upcoming perfume and album. The company also got a little catty and claimed that Lady Gaga didn't approve of their original prototypes because they weren't pretty enough.

American Idol has Mariah Carey signed on to judge next year's contestants, and now it looks like a country star may join her behind the judge's table. Deadline reports that the show is courting Brad Paisley to be on the panel. Having Paisley on the show would make sense considering the show has produced several successful country acts, as well as the fact that he has worked with Idol alum Carrie Underwood. Also, it only seems fair to have a pretty-eyed white boy singer/songwriter type judge the show, seeing as those are the only contestants that win anymore.

Police want to question Justin Bieber after he allegedly got into a scuffle with a paparazzo Sunday outside a mall in Southern California. A photographer filed a police report saying Bieber struck him after he snapped photos of him and girlfriend Selena Gomez coming out of a movie.

Bieber left the scene before officers arrived but allegedly the photographer was blocking Bieber and Gomez from entering their car. Police want to question Bieber and get his side of the story. Amid the altercation, Biebs lost his hat and one of his purple shoes. Looks like those boxing lessons from Mike Tyson are working.

When Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” was released, comparisons to Madonna’s “Express Yourself” were quickly made, even though Gaga claimed she “isn’t dumb enough" or “moronic enough to have stolen a melody.” But apparently Madonna also sees the similarities between the two songs. Someone secretly recorded the singer rehearsing for her upcoming world tour. Madge is first heard singing “Express Yourself” then she seamlessly segues into a chorus of “Born This Way.” Guess if Gaga can rip off Madonna, Madonna can return the favor.

Recently, former Miss America winner Vanessa Williams told Anderson Cooper in an interview that "When the child is screaming and saying, 'I don't want to do this. I don't feel like doing it.' When they are using special juice to get them hyped... that's not my world and I would never have my kids do that." According to TMZ, one Toddlers and Tiaras mom, Wendy Dickey, responded by taking shots at Williams: "Posing nude and having an abortion is 'not my world' and I would never have my kids do that... so easy on the judging Vanessa!" Dickey was referring to revelations that the actress and singer made in her new book. Of course, one big difference between the two situations is that posing nude is a choice Williams made for herself, as opposed to a choice she made for her child.
