There's probably only one night of the year that you hear the song. And there's probably only one song you'll remember hearing this night of the year. And, no, we're not talking about the Black Eyed Peas' "Let's Get It Started."

"Auld Lang Syne" is, for better or worse, the first song 99% of the population hears each and every year. The other 1% are sleeping babies.

She may be only 15 and Korean, but that doesn't stop Park Ji Min from nailing her rendition of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep."

Katy Perry Russell Brand
Russell Brand has reportedly filed for divorce from Katy Perry. This is according to TMZ.

Documents filed in L.A. by Brand reportedly cite "irreconcilable differences." The two were married Oct. 23, 2010 in India.  So, it lasted a whole 14 months. Not bad for stars.

Russell has released a statement that says, "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."

Media has been in a frenzy recently over reports that they spent Christmas apart and haven't been wearing their wedding rings.

Katy recently told Barbara Walters married life was "lovely," while Russell told Ellen DeGeneres this month, "I'm really happily married ... I’m married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I’m still alive."

Meh. Are there even any jokes left to make about this stuff?

Zooey Joseph
Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon Levitt, who starred together in that indie movie, 500 Days of Summer, about the couple that doesn't work out (or something. I didn't see it. It looks soooooo boring. His character is depressed and her character's name is Summer, hence the title, which is all I needed to know...ZZZ...OMG, I just fell asleep writing about it...), have released a cutesy little video of themselves dueting on "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?"

Beyonce2
Did Beyoncé give birth to a baby girl early this morning? That's the rumour circulating the web and clogging up my Twitter feed - but there's no official confirmation.

Word seems to be that Beyoncé checked into St. Luke's Roosevelt, a private hospital in New York City yesterday. Though her identity wasn't confirmed, reports said that staff at St. Luke's were put on alert for the arrival of a "celebrity VIP." It was also reported that the star's mom Tina and sister Solange are currently in New York, awaiting the new arrival, while some outlets are saying she went into labour on Thursday.

Reports say that the child has been named Tiana May Carter.

If it's true, she must have been premature. Right? Either way, and even if the rumours that she's just been stuffing a pillow up there all this time are true, I guess there will eventually be a baby (from wherever) and they'll name it something and life will go on.

But, really? Tiana May Carter? Blech.

Update: As commenter PFr points out, there have been some pretty funny pics posted online, one of which is of a pillow. Another is this one, though, which is at least a baby, even if it doesn't look like a newborn. (No, I don't actually think that's Beyoncé's kid.)

Drake
I have a daydream. It goes like this: I'm out for a night of karaoke and I get up on stage to sing Aerosmith's "What It Takes." I NAIL IT and ROCK THE ROOM! Everybody loves me. They are on their feet! Cheering! Because I am so amazing. It then turns out that Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry is sitting in the back of the room and he is, rightfully, extremely impressed. By mere coincidence, it turns out that the band has indeed parted ways with frontman Steven Tyler and, right there and then, Joe invites me to join the band. He'll have to run it by the others, he says, but he's sure they'll all agree just as soon as they hear me sing. And that's how I become the lead singer of Aerosmith.

LMFAO
A fire blazed through a Honduras venue last night during an LMFAO concert. Nobody was killed, according to TMZ, but at least 15 people were treated for smoke inhlation.

LMFAO reportedly ended their set after smoke began to fill the arena.

The gossip/news site reports that police suspect the fire at the Coliseo Nacional de Ingenieros was delberately set and that police told local media a "criminal hand" is suspected of setting fire to the electrical system. GossipCop.com, however, says there's no confirmation of these reports and that officials believe the cause was the overheating of the electric lines.

Sinead O'Connor
Sinead O’Connor has added a wee bit more to the story of how her marriage to Barry Herridge fell apart after 16 days.


As you might know by now, Sinead met Barry after she posted a missive on her website announcing she was desperate for sex and threatening to do it with a yam and/or a fleet of trucks. How could you resist, right? Barry couldn’t. He responded and became husband No. 4 just four months later, on December 8. Well, imagine the world’s shock when that didn’t work out.

Sinead O'Connor2
So, you meet a guy online after posting a message on your website announcing you're so horny you're thinking of humping a "fleet" of trucks, and, of course, four months later he becomes your fourth husband. What could possibly go wrong?
