Taylor Swift is pulling ALL the stops on her RED tour!

She already shocked fans in St. Louis after a surprise performance with Nelly, and now it looks like fans in Newark, New Jersey got a little treat of their own!

After thanking the crowd for their awesome participation, the country-pop diva rewarded Swifties by bringing Neon Trees singer Tyler Glenn to the stage!

Ch-ch-check out their awesome collaboration of Everybody Talks (above)!

The two sound AMAZING together, and of course we always love any chance to see Swifty shake what her mama gave her!! LOLz!

And it's super awesome that Tyler took time out of his busy schedule to surprise the fans, especially since his band is on a tour of their own and he flew in from Florida just for the night!

OMGGGGG! We can't wait to see what else T Swizzle has up her sleeve!

The death of Beastie Boy Adam Yauch devastated the music world (and us) this past Friday.

While some celebs mourned the late MCA through Twitter, Coldplay honored Adam's playful spirit in a cover of Fight For Your Right, and comedian Fred Armisen donned clothing similar to the iconic rapper's during the closing credits of SNL.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers also payed tribute to their fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famer at their Newark, New Jersey show Friday, playing versions of What'cha Want and Gratitude, which are both off of the Beastie Boys' 1992 album, Check Your Head.

Frontman Anthony Keidis dedicated the show to Yauch, and in a heartwarming statement said:

What an amazing story!

The mayor of Newark, NJ, Cory Booker, risked his life yesterday to save a woman from her house which was on fire.

Booker called it his "come to Jesus moment."

Returning home last night, Booker saw his next door neighbor's home was on fire. An elderly lady frantically ran over to him and his security team, exclaiming that her daughter was trapped upstairs.

In a moment of true heroism, the mayor raced into the house to make a daring rescue!

Booker reveals the terrifying circumstances, explains:

As we said before, we definitely think it was a smart move not having a public memorial. Whitney's family deserves the opportunity to say goodbye to her in private.

Yesterday, we learned that Whitney Houston's funeral will be an invitation-only service, which will take place on Saturday at the Hope Baptist Church (where Whitney started her singing career) in Newark, NJ.

Now, we've learned some new details about the the funeral arrangements, which are as follows:

A proud Jersey girl will return home for one final goodbye.

According to reports, Whitney Houston will be laid to rest later this week at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, N.J., the place of her birth.

Those who knew here before the fame knew her best as a singer in the choir of the church, as she was raised in East Orange. It is expected that her body will be released to the family today, now that the autopsy is finished, and arrangements are being made to fly her back East immediately by her family.

Many say that she never forgot her humble Jersey roots and that laying her to rest in the place where she got her start is a fitting tribute to her legacy.

We agree. She'll be back in a place where the people who knew her best can pay the best tribute to her, celebrating her life in the place where it all began.
