Selena Gomez and The Scene: It’s Over!

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are still going strong, as the couple were spotted out just last night on a date in Los Angeles. But the 19-year old singer has called it quits with the other steady presence in her life, telling Facebook followers over the weekend that she and backup band The Scene won’t be playing together for a bit. “My band and I are going our separate ways for a while,” Selena wrote. “This year is all about films and acting and I want my band to play music wherever with whoever. We will be back but, it will be a good while. I love them and I love you guys.” Gomez and The Scene released “When the Sun Goes Down” last year, an album that peaked at number-three on the Billboard 200 chart. But it’s true that Selena’s film career is taking off: she’ll voice a character in Adam Sandler’s animated Hotel Transylvania later this year; and then star alongside James Franco and Vanessa Hudgens in Spring Breakers , a movie about a group of college girls who take over a fast-food joint in order to finance their Florida spring break.

Oprah Begs Viewers to Ditch Grammys For OWN, Nielsen Far From Pleased

Oprah Winfrey took to Twitter last night to ask Nielsen viewers to watch her cable network OWN instead of the Grammy Awards, a pathetic move that drew criticism from her OWN followers and the market research company alike. “Every 1 who can please turn to OWN especially if u have a Nielsen box,” she tweeted Sunday at the start Oprah’s Next Chapter and the mega-rated Grammys. She later added, “Commercial Grammy people… u can turn to OWN.” The tweets caused a backlash on the social networking site, with some readers – fans of O, no less – accusing her of “begging for viewers” and being “desperate.” Oprah followed up with a flurry of defensive replies that were apparently in response to reader criticism: “The word ‘please’ is used as courtesy not a beg.” “‘Desperate’ not ever a part of my vocabulary” … “‘Unethical’ us a little harsh don’t u think? Seemed like it made sense to me. Sorry if you’re offended.” The original tweet has since been deleted. Networks are not allowed to specifically target Nielsen subscribers. Policy prohibits “attempts to single out panel members … to change their viewing habits.” “In accordance with our policies, Nielsen is reviewing this with our clients and may withhold, breakout and/or make a note in the ratings,” a Nielsen rep told EW . “We take any violation of our policy seriously.” Given that 39.9 million people watched the 2012 Grammys , a more effective punishment might be simply releasing OWN’s miniscule ratings instead. Oprah Winfrey has since released this statement: “I removed the tweet at the request of Nielsen. I intended no harm and apologize for the reference.”

Nick Cannon ‘Getting Back to Business’

TV personality tweets photo from the hospital after suffering kidney failure earlier this week. By Jocelyn Vena Nick Cannon Photo: FilmMagic Apparently you can’t keep Nick Cannon down for long. Just days after being hospitalized for mild kidney failure , the TV personality let his fans know he’s ready to put it all behind him. Cannon took to Twitter to post a photo of himself in the hospital, getting his hair cut. He tweeted simply, “getting back to business.” He later took to the social networking site to promote some of his pals who were DJing in Los Angeles. One of Cannon’s DJ friends spoke to People.com about his condition. “I was beyond shocked when I learned Nick had a kidney issue,” DJ Irie said. “Of all the people, he is healthy beyond belief. He does not drink, he eats healthy and he works out regularly.” The cause of Cannon’s kidney failure is still unknown, and his friend reiterated just how well he takes care of himself. “Nick practices all of these healthy habits every day of his life,” he said. “But he is rational and smart and taking care of it by being in the hospital, where he belongs now.” Cannon was transferred to an L.A.-area facility after initially being hospitalized in Aspen, where he was vacationing with his wife, Mariah Carey, and their twins, Moroccan and Monroe. “As always, he’s in good spirits considering the situation,” Carey said about her hubby, noting that he was “in a lot of pain” and that “the situation is not easy. We really appreciate everybody’s love and support.” Related Artists Nick Cannon
