Oscar nominated actress and singer Taraji P. Henson is not only a multitalented lady…

She's also a fighter for animal rights!!

She teamed up with PETA for a seksi photo shoot with a cute pooch in the ad (above).

The ad reads:

"Chained dogs suffer day in and day out. They are cold, hungry, thirsty, vulnerable, and lonely. Keep them inside, where it's safe and warm."

It's so sad to see an outdoor dog, chained to a tree or a stake in the ground, laying outside all alone.

Or in a rickety dog house that provides no protection from the elements at all.

So listen to the angelic Ms. Henson and bring your pups indoors!!

The suspense is killing us…who will it be?!

American Idol is just getting good now that the contestants are being whittled down to take to the big stage.

Now is the best time to start making those winning predictions, and Keith Urban has already locked his in.

Sooo….who is it already, right?!

The country singing judge admitted he thinks this year is going to shake shake shakity shake things up:

But don’t worry, she won’t be making another Glitter!

In fact, she won’t be making anything like that because while Nicki Minaj wants to act, she doesn’t want to do something expected and play a singer.

But wait…would a singer role be a stretch since she's a rapper?

We bet Mariah Carey would think so!

If that ideal role doesn’t come along, Nicki is just fine waiting for it because she doesn’t want to go down the path some singers (*cough*Mariah*cough*) have while trying to make it in another field.

She admitted:

The more we hear about the days before Mindy McCready’s suicide, the clearer it becomes that she was struggling to deal with unimaginable pain.

It seems that Mindy was doing all she could to hold onto the spirit of her boyfriend who had recently committed suicide, David Wilson.

In fact, she claimed to her friend, Danno Hanks, that his ghost had come to visit her.

If you told us someone was about to step up in a big way and defend Kelly Clarkson against Clive Davis’ slams about her skillz, our first guess would probably not have been Howard Stern.

Nor would our second or third guess be him…

But, the jock has shocked us again! And it's just another instance that proves the kind of quality guy he is!

Howard was flat out disgusted to hear Clive wrote some digs about Kelly in his memoir, The Soundtrack of My Life, including one where he called her songwriting “sh*tty.”

Kelly has already stepped up to defend herself just fine against Clive’s claims, but Howard takes it to a whole other level with his spitfire remarks!

Ch-ch-check it out (above)!

Snaps to Howie! Well said indeed!

So what are U: Team Kelly or Team Clive??

We didn’t think we could be anymore impressed with Lianne La Havas, but girl is AH-Mazing!

She has just released two incredible new music videos that tell a heart-wrenching story together that moved us in an unexplainable way.

The videos for Elusive (above) and Gone (below) have us bowing down to her brilliance.

From hopeful and happy to sad and broken, Lianne has us feeling every emotion possible after watching these beautiful and touching videos.

But don't take our word for it, experience Lianne for yourself!

PrrrReeessssSSs PllllAaaaAayYYYy!

Jenni Rivera might be gone from this world, but her voice is still here.

And while fans are continuing to enjoy her beautiful music, they are about to get one more intimate moment with the late singer.

Jenni had completed writing her memoir before her death, and now it will be published in July in both English and Spanish by Simon & Schuster's Atria Books imprint.

And the singer’s sister, Rosie Rivera, hopes the book, Unbreakable, will bring fans the same comfort it brings her as she said:
