The Most Talked-About Star on Facebook is…

You can probably guess the names that Facebook reports were more talked about than any other in 2015. Taylor Swift. Kanye West. Caitlyn Jenner . But who was the most talked-about entertainer over the past 12 months? We countdown the Top 10 below and we warn you: number-one will be a surprise… 10. Shakira Shakira didn’t release any major hits in the U.S. in 2015. But she gave birth and she’s married to a famous soccer player, so she was prominently in the news. 9. The Weeknd Few music fans had even heard of The Weeknd prior to 2015. It’s safe to say everyone knows who he is now. 8. Caitlyn Jenner Caitlyn Jenner certainly made the biggest change of any celebrity in 2015. She’s a woman now! Good for her! 7. Pitbull Pitbull is a man of many trades. He raps. He hosts awards shows. He produces. The guy is everywhere! 6. Drake We never want to see Drake dance to “Hotline Bling” ever again. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t make a big impact in 2015. 5. Wiz Khalifa Splitting from Amber Rose didn’t hurt Wiz Khalifa, apparently. It kept the artist in the news, and his collaboration on “See You Again” sure helped things. View Slideshow

Kendall Jenner and Nick Jonas: Dating!

In the past year, we’ve heard rumors that Kendall Jenner is dating Justin Bieber , Cara Delevingne, and just about everyone else that she’s been photographed with. Now, Us Weekly is reporting that Kendall is dating Nick Jonas, and the relationship is quickly getting serious. The tabloid reports that the couple was introduced by Gigi Hadid and Joe Jonas , who started dating back in June. Naturally, double date planning is already in the works: “Gigi wants Kendall around all the time,” says a source. “She thinks it would be fun for all of them to hang out.” The two stars have serious power couple potential, as Kendall’s modeling career gets hotter by the day, and Nick’s recent self-titled album has become a surprise radio hit. Of course, it’s not their resumes that drew Nick and Kendall to each other: “Nick was single and looking to date and there was an obvious attraction,” says one source. “He absolutely thinks she’s hot.” While the couple (Nindall? Kick?) is reportedly already exclusive, insiders say it may be a while before they announce their relationship to fans. “They had a flirty chemistry from the start,” says one insider. “When they’re ready and it turns official, we’ll start seeing photos.” Hopefully, Nick can avoid getting jealous of all the attention Kendall receives from her male fans.

Iggy Azalea: Tour Canceled Due to Low Ticket Sales?

What a difference a year makes. Last summer, you couldn’t set foot in public without hearing about how “fancy” Iggy Azalea is. In 2015, however, the Aussie femcee is about as popular as Crocodile Dundee and other short-lived trends from Down Under. Talk of Iggy’s tour being canceled due to lack of interest began to circulate back in March, and this week, the news was confirmed: Iggy-Ig’s troubled Great Escape Tour has officially been put out of its misery, and full refunds will be issued to the (shockingly few) fans who purchased tickets. It’s the latest in a long line of setbacks for the divisive rapper, who’s endured a year full of feuds, rapidly declining popularity, and being publicly referred to as ” Satan in the form of mayonnaise .” Just last week, thousands signed a petition to revoke Iggy’s Billboard Music Award  as a result of their belief that the 24-year-old Sydney native is undeserving of such an honor. Iggy enjoyed a modest popularity boost last week thanks to her Britney Spears collaboration “Pretty Girls,” but it looks like the renewed fan interest came too late to save the tour that was scheduled to kick off September 18 in San Diego. Azalea apologized to fans on social media, tweeting, “I’m so sad and sorry to let my fans down… we’ll be back out on the road when the next album is done.” No official reason was given for the cancelation, but as industry insiders have been reporting disappointing sales for months, it’s widely believed that a simple lack of interest doomed the 21-city jaunt from the start.

Chris Brown to Nia Guzman: I’ll Pay For Royalty … Not For YOU!

Chris Brown has some serious baby mama drama. Nia Guzman is apparently hitting Brown up for more child support for their daughter, Royalty. Brown and Guzman seemed to have a mostly amicable relationship for a while.  But when Guzman asked for more child support money, Chris Brown wasn’t entirely pleased. Chris doesn’t have a problem giving more money for Royalty.  But he is concerned the extra money will fund Nia and her boyfriend. So Chris thinks it is time Nia gets a j.o.b. An insider told Hollywood Life that “[Chris] knows that she has bills to pay out there in Texas and that’s why he sends her money even when Royalty’s with him.” “What he’s not going to do,” the source continued, “is send his hard earned money to Nia so she can buy clothes and take care of her lazy boyfriend!” Chris was giving Nia $2,500 a month in March.  But apparently, Nia demanded more—$13,000 more a month.  As in $15,000 a month instead! Since her request, Chris and Nia have been battling it out. “Chris doesn’t feel like he needs to give Nia every cent of the $2,500 when Royalty’s with him and [his mother],” a source said.  “To him, that doesn’t make sense. If Chris has her for a month or so, there’s no need to give Nia all that money.” For all of Chris Brown’s many, many flaws, he seems to be a good father.  For the past two months, he has been spending “virtually all his time with Royalty,” a source said. He even brought her to the Billboard Music Awards. It doesn’t sound like Chris is paying up the extra money to Nia yet.  But he does sound willing to give extra money if it goes toward raising Royalty. But Chris wants Nia to pitch in with “a regular, steady income,” sources claimed. Really, this doesn’t sound unreasonable. Surprisingly, Chris Brown has made some decent decisions as of late.   Chris Brown and Tyson Beckford were fighting over Karrueche Tran, but the two have cooled things down. After Tyson and Chris exchanged some heated tweets and photos, Chris took ahold of the situation with an apology. “No drama!” Chris tweeted. “People are really starting to make this s—t an issue. I can be a real one and say that I was wrong for even pressing an issue.” View Slideshow: Chris Brown and Royalty: Father-Daughter Photos

Calvin Harris: Caught Cheating on Taylor Swift ALREADY?!

It’s only been two months since we first learned that Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris are dating , but already rumors are flying about the Scottish DJ giving in to his ladies’ man tendencies. Just one day before Calvin kissed Taylor at the Billboard Music Awards , essentially taking their relationship public for the first time,  he was allegedly spotted hanging out with a mystery brunette at a pool party in Vegas. Radar Online is reporting that Taylor confronted Calvin about his possible cheating, but was unable to get a satisfactory response from her new man. Harris insisted that the woman is just a friend, but witnesses say they spent the entire evening in close contact with each other, then piled into the same SUV at the end of the night. Taylor, of course, has a long history of making bad decisions when it comes to men, but she’s older and wiser now, and we’re guessing she won’t be tolerating much crap from Calvin. She’s also more private these days, so we may not get the traditional Swifty breakup ballad if things don’t work out with Harris. Then again, she did turn her feud with Katy Perry into the awesomeness that is Bad Blood . View Slideshow: Taylor Swift “Bad Blood” Video GIFs

Chris Brown and Nia Guzman: Fighting Over Child Support!

Chris Brown may be building a wonderful relationship with baby daughter Royalty, but it looks like he’s still at odds with his baby mama Nia Guzman. According to Royalty’s mother (sometimes referred to as Nia Amey-Guzman), the R&B star has stopped paying her the $2,500 a month in child support. She is now coming after him for six times the amount. Sources say he had been paying her the $2,500, but stopped doing so because she demanded the $15,000 monthly amount, which he says is absurd. Chris says she’s treating Baby Breezy like a winning lottery ticket; Nia claims the singer is a deadbeat cheapskate and Royalty is paying the price. TMZ reports that Nia’s lawyer, Carl Moore, will file legal papers in the next couple of weeks demanding back child support and a huge monthly increase.   There has also been talk of a settlement , however. Things can’t be entirely bad between the two. They are not together, but Chris reportedly wants Nia to move to L.A. so he can keep his baby girl close. Unless he’s faking it for the world’s best PR campaign, and we doubt Chris Brown is not capable of such a thing, he’s been ALL about Royalty lately. He recently posted pics of a playdate with Tyga and King , his bro’s little boy, as well as his mother Joyce Hawkins taking a nap with his adorable girl. Then, at least weekend’s Billboard Music Awards, Brown walked the red carpet with Royalty , showing off the cutie and his pride in being a father. Chris puts in the time and we’re sure he’ll put in money as well. It’s likely just a matter of coming to what he feels is a fair, not forced, arrangement.

Batkid Begins Trailer: Ready to Be Inspired?

Ready to break out your Kleenex, movie fans? You better be… because the first trailer for Batkid Begins has hit the Internet. The documentary tells the story of Miles Scott, a very young man who was diagnosed with leukemia at 18 months old. After after going through his final round of treatments in 2013, Scott had his wish granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation when he became a superhero for a day and was honored along the streets of San Francisco. Courtesy of Warner Bros., Batkid Begins chronicles Scott's inspiring story; from his chemotherapy to the day that he grew into a viral phenomenon. As the trailer depicts, well-known faces from Batman actors to President Barack Obama became a part of Scott's special day two years ago, cheering Batkid on as he got his wish. “He gave everybody license to just be a little absurd,” says Dark Knight composer Hans Zimmer. “Live their little dreams a little bit.” Batkid Begins comes out on June 26.
