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. The photographer complained of pain and was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released. 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.

Ferrell was sidelined with a leg injury, while Ramsay was removed from the field on a stretcher and taken to the hospital after a tackle by former pro player Teddy Sheringham. Hopefully both are OK but we wonder if either one of them was Kicking and Screaming.

Snooki is moving out of the Jersey Shore house. TMZ reports that when the cast reconvenes to shoot the next season of the reality show, pregnant Snooki will stay in a nearby house.

Since Snooki announced her pregnancy in February when she was three months along, it's possible she could deliver while filming the show this summer.

Hope she didn't marry him for his money. Since going public on Friday, shares of Facebook have dropped more than $4 a share, netting a $2B loss for founder Mark Zuckerberg. The Zuck owns 503.6 million shares of his company. We now learn that even though his marriage to long-time girlfriend Priscilla Chan was held in his own backyard over the weekend, he didn't skimp on the entertainment. Zuckerberg hired Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong to perform at the ceremony. Armstrong reportedly played "Last Night on Earth," a track from Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown album.

He might have cheated on Demi Moore, but Ashton Kutcher is still making time for his adopted daughter Rumer Willis, who's only 11 years his junior. Rumor was seen hanging out at Kutcher's Hollywood Hills home. The two "popped out to get take-out food for lunch then returned home to munch on the balcony. This isn't the first time daughter and stepdad have hung out together. Kutcher was seen sitting front and center at Rumer's singing gig at the Sayers Club in March.

Today is finally the day that Facebook goes public — one of the biggest IPOs ever. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg rung the NASDAQ opening bell from the social network's California headquarters. Some water cooler points about the company going public:
— Zuckerberg is expected to pocket $20B personally;
— Because he owns 2.3 percent of Facebook, Bono will surpass Paul McCartney to becoming to world's richest rock star;
— This IPO creates a thousand new millionaires;
— With a valuation of $104B, Facebook is worth more than Disney, Kraft, and Amazon;
— Apparently money heals all wounds because Eduardo Saverin congratulated Zuckerberg over Facebook about the company going public. He should, the IPO is expected to make Saverin $3B.

In his first appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 13 years, Conan O'Brien talked about Jay Leno — an arch nemesis for both hosts (it was Leno who took the Tonight Show away from both Letterman and O'Brien). "I was delighted by everything that happened, except you losing your job," Letterman said about the debacle a few years back when Leno replaced O'Brien on the late-night talk show. "The only consolation I took during that period was that you were happy," O'Brien said.

Betty White received her own Friars Club Roast on Wednesday, and if you thought the club, which is known for their no-holds-barred roasts, was going to go easy on the 90-year old, you were wrong.
The comedian Jeff Ross said the roast was organized as a lunch “because we didn’t think she’d make it till dinner.” “She’s so old, the color white is named after her,” Ross said, but he might have crossed the line when he added, “I’m looking forward to your next appearance — in that vase above your mantel.” The joke received a loud groan from the crowd. Joy Behar, Regis Philbin, Valerie Bertinelli, Valerie Harper, Liza Minnelli, and Larry King all attended the event with Barbara Walters as the M.C. “She’s so old, she thinks I’m jailbait,” said King, who is 78.
