Clive Davis’ party still went on last night despite the shocking news of Whitney Houston’s death last night: Whitney Houston “would have wanted the music to go on,” said industry mogul Clive Davis, who opted to proceed with his annual Grammy-eve party at the Beverly Hilton, where hours earlier the pop icon he signed and mentored was pronounced dead at 48. “She loved music and she loved this night that celebrates music,” said Davis, adding that Houston’s family requested that the party continue. The mood, however, at least at the evening’s start, was far from celebratory. Attendees filing into Davis’ event hugged one another, wearing dour or dazed expressions, and many were seen shaking their heads, even as music at the hotel thumped loudly. Davis, who spotted a 19-year-old Houston at a showcase in Sweetwaters supper club in Manhattan, has been hosting a pre-Grammy event for more than three decades. Houston was to attend the gala.

True or False? The Internet was abuzz with rumors today that North Korea’s newly installed leader, Kim Jong Un , was assassinated during a trip to Beijing, but U.S. officials are debunking the reports as not true: Several U.S. officials contacted by ABC News said there was no validity to the reports that originated on a Chinese social media site and soon spread to Twitter. “There’s nothing to this, ” said one U.S. official, who added that there were no indications that the reports were true. Another U.S. official said, “Our experts are monitoring the situation and we see no abnormal activity on the [Korean] peninsula and nothing that credits that tweet as accurate.” North Korean troop movements on the North Korean side of the border are often an indicator that the country’s leadership is preparing for tense situations, much as what happened when Kim Jong Un assumed power late last year. Internet rumors were not the first time that Kim has been the focus of social media rumors. In early January, postings to Sina Weibo began to appear claiming that Kim had been overthrown in a military coup. Since then, the Chinese government has been eliminating those postings from the site. Looks like Twitter death rumors are really cross-cultural. Source More On Bossip!

Let’s take a look back at the some of highlights of “Linsanity” “Just Lin, baby” read the bold headline in the New York Daily News. Point guard Jeremy Lin is the talk of New York, the nation … and the world after he validated his four-game rise from anonymity to stardom with a career-high 38 points in leading the New York Knicks past the visiting Los Angeles Lakers 92-85 on Friday night. Lin has carried the Knicks to a season-tying four-game winning streak, which they can extend tonight when they play at the Minnesota Timberwolves. U.S. media outlets are not alone in the coverage of the undrafted point guard from Harvard — the NBA’s first American-born Chinese or Taiwanese player — who has emerged from the end of the bench to become a world-wide phenomenon in a week. Just since Thursday his Twitter followers have risen by 50,000 to a total of more more 155,000. The Asian media are so taken with Lin, crowding him at shootarounds and post-game, that they are concerned for his well-being. Suffice to say, this young man’s life has changed in just a matter of days. Flip the script to learn more about Jeremy and see highlights from his ballerific week! Source
Maybe you can’t quite ask Woody Harrelson anything , but at least he has a forthcoming contemporary in Russell Crowe.

She may not have been dating one of the game’s starting quarterbacks, but Jessica Simpson still made her presence felt at last night’s Super Bowl. The pregnant singer Tweeted a photo of herself and a friend from their box at Lucas Oil Stadium, showing off her ample…. rooting interest in the following Twit pic: Earlier in the week, Jessica had explained her support of the Patriots by saying fiance Eric Johnson was from Boston and: “I’m a Cowboys fan, so I cannot root for the Giants!” Fair enough. But we all know why Simpson is a Cowboys fan , right? Not sure if Johnson would really want to hear that.
Exposed body parts from the Super Bowl continue to stir up controversy across the Internet. With M.I.A.’s immature finger flip causing both NBC and the NFL to apologize, GLADD is now up in arms over comments made last night by CNN contributor Roland Martin. While watching the Giants victory over the Patriots, Martin Tweeted the following in response to David Beckham’s underwear ad for H&M (below): GLADD noticed and wrote back: “Advocates of gay bashing have no place at CNN,” to which Martin then replied: “You’re clearly out of touch and clueless with what I tweeted. Way to assume, but you’re way off base.” The gay rights organization has since sent around an online petition that pushes for to Martin be fired. It has collected approximately 2,000 signatures so far. What do you think of Martin’s comments? Homophobic? Or just lame and unfunny? Should he be fired? David Beckham Super Bowl Ad
Kim Kardashian, Ashton Kutcher and Christina Aguilera praise Queen of Pop’s halftime performance. By James Dinh Madonna performs at Super Bowl XLVI Photo: Jeff Kravitz/ FilmMagic Madonna does everything big, and her Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday night (February 5) was no exception. From her elaborate staging, wave of synchronized dancers and surprise onstage guests, the Queen of Pop has all kind of stars, including Kim Kardashian and Ashton Kutcher, abuzz — and probably singing along, too. Taking to Twitter to dish about Madge’s over-the-top medley of songs, Kardashian kept her praise short and sweet: “Madonna is EVERYTHING! She looks soooo good!” she wrote. Kutcher was another fan of the pop titan’s high-energy performance as he confessed, “#fact Madonna is crushing it!” Not only did Ryan Seacrest find a liking to Madonna’s set, but also her surprise performers. “Loved the madonna performance, i think she nailed it. Great job by @LMFAO, @NickiMinaj, @CeeloGreen too,” he tweeted. With the season premiere of “The Voice” scheduled for right after Sunday’s big game, Christina Aguilera also showed support for her fellow co-star, tweeting, “@CeeLoGreen you killed it with Madonna at half time!” Love for Madonna’s show was also spread to another Kardashian sister, as Kourtney wrote, “Nobody is better than Madonna. She was perfection. Like a Prayer was my favorite part. Did everyone LOVE it as much as I did?” Despite his remarks on the singer’s backing track, Perez Hilton was extremely impressed by the superstar’s “Like a Player” finale, writing, “Wow. That ‘Like A Prayer’ finale was one of the best things #Madonna has EVER done! Soooo epic!!!” Paula Abdul was full of compliments, calling the pop performer’s halftime show “brilliant.” “I was dancing &singing along w/ @CeeLoGreen #Madonna Like A Prayer was AWESOME!” she wrote. “Well played #Superbowl WELL PLAYED-amazing #HalfTime show!” Age proved nothing but a number to the rest of the Twitter-verse when “Madonna is 53” became a trending topic shortly after she wrapped up her performance.

An apparently topless Rihanna showed off her long blonde hair on Twitter last night. She’s rocked everything from massive red curls to a platinum bob with blunt bangs in the past couple of months. Now, she’s debuted yet another dramatic ‘do. Which really looks good with no shirt: The 23-year-old singer tweeted the pic of herself sporting a long, layered blonde style (and not much else!) along with the following message: “#Back2Work 1st Cover of the year!!! #ELLE,” followed by “Bleach + weave #WERQ.” Later that night she sat courtside at L.A.’s Staples Center to watch the Clippers (bet you didn’t hear THAT three years ago) beat the Nuggets, turning heads with her new locks. What do you think of Rihanna’s blonde hair?
