Kris Allen just can NOT catch a break!

Not only has he gone through a horrible car crash, but he's needed time to heal, including from a surgery on his wrist — which isn't ideal, because he needs that wrist to play guitar!

Now he needs

Chris Hadfield is probably the coolest guy we've ever had in space. Sure, there are people that have done monumental things and accomplished crazy firsts, but none of them had been as open with the huge amount of curious people on Earth!

Chris was very good about answering questions online and doing video demonstrations about what goes on in the International Space Station — something he could find time to do, even though he was the Commander. He taught us about brushing teeth to cleaning up spills, and he even promised to cover Space Oddity on his guitar as requested by his followers on the internet.

HOLY SHIZZ DID HE DELIVER (above)!

He also made sure to plug a dangerous ammonia leak during an impromptu space walk before turning over command and heading back to Earth!

What an amazeballs dude! WE OWE HIM A BEER! Ha!

Well this is certainly a surprise!

Attendees at the Lupus LA Orange Ball got a little HUGE treat as Toni Braxton took the stage to put on a very special performance!

The Unbreak My Heart singer took a short break from her retirement and sang a couple of her songs at the star-studded charity event, and of course she sounded amazing!

Ch-ch-check her awesome performance of Breathe Again (above)!

Toni had a lupus scare herself not too long ago, so it makes sense that she would want to give back to an organization that is hoping to thwart the disease once and for all!

She even showed some love for her doctor, Dr. Shapira, and pulled him onstage for her performance of Another Sad Love Song! Because nothing says "Thank you" like embarassing someone in front of a crowded room of people! LOLz!

But seriously, we are SO SO happy to see Toni back on the stage doing what she does best! Even if it was just for the night!

Check out the rest of her performance …AFTER THE JUMP!!

Good news, everyone!

According to members of The Wanted, their bandmate Nathan Sykes is doing MUCH better following his throat surgery last month, and we couldn’t be happier!

Max George says he’s managing to keep his spirits high on the road to recovery, and they’re liking the progress they’re seeing:

Legendary band ABBA's Agnetha Fältskog is afraid of things, which is normal. Unfortunately, some of those fears became phobias — like the fear of flying, and stage fright. Those fears eventually brought her to a life of semi-reclusion!

Apparently it was in 1979, while the group toured the United States, that the private jet they took from New York to Boston encountered a tornado and had to make an emergency landing. It was this that gave birth to the fear of flying! Here's what she said:

If the Met Gala was a competition, Madonna clearly won! Not only did she NAIL the punk-rock theme, but she looked fantastic walking the red carpet!

Recently, her trainer of 3 years, Nicole Winhoffer revealed the secrets of the regimen that got her into such bootylicious shape, but how did she get her in the calorie-burning mood day after day? Apparently she has a really good workout mix!

Jason Derulo is FLAWSOME!

After experiencing a neck injury last year, the 23-year-old singer finally made his way back to the stage for the first time, and we're in awe because he started his performance on Dancing with the Stars with a head-stand.

Wowzerz!

Derulo performed his new single, The Other Side last night, and we have to admit, we loved everything about his energized act!!

CLICK HERE to watch Jason talk about his neck injury, but don't forget to watch the clip (above)!

And because Emeli Sandé also did her thing on DWTS last night, we gotta give homegirl props too!! Watch her performance HERE!!
