Gabriel Aubry to Attend Anger Management Counseling

Anger Management. It’s more than just the name of a terrible Adam Sandler movie and Charlie Sheen’s next vehicle. It’s also the way in which Gabriel Aubry hopes to maintain contact with his daughter. Following a reportedly ugly incident in which Halle Berry’s ex either shoved his nanny while she was cradling daughter Nahla, or at least screamed at her, Aubry has agreed to enroll in anger management courses. The move came after he and Berry met for hours yesterday with representatives from the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. Sources tell TMZ Aubry still insists he didn’t touch the nanny, but a law enforcement official close to the case says: “Gabriel has a little bit of a temper, but the good news is that he realizes it.” Aubry is not free from potential charges or consequences, however. He and Berry will still convene in front of a judge on Monday morning and it’s possible Gabriel will be barred from seeing his child until a criminal investigation is complete.

Chris Brown to Perform at Grammys

Chris Brown will perform at the Grammy Awards next month, E! reports . It will be his first appearance at the annual show since 2009, when … you know. The singer, whose career has rebounded nicely despite some memorable flare-ups, is up for three awards this year, so his appearance isn’t too surprising. Plans for his performance are still being worked out, so details are lacking at the moment. Meanwhile, his ex Rihanna will perform with Coldplay . Chris Brown and Rihanna have been the subject of great speculation lately, most recently after they partied together (but separately) in W. Hollywood. The two are said to be on good terms now, and even hooking up … but they kept their distance last week. Brown was there with GF Karrueche Tran. The Grammy Awards will be hosted by NCIS: LA star LL Cool J and telecast live on CBS from Los Angeles’ Staples Center on Sunday, February 12. Also set to perform are Jason Aldean, Kelly Clarkson, Foo Fighters, Bruno Mars, Paul McCartney, the Band Perry, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift and more. [Photo: WENN.com]

Jean Paul Gaultier Pays Homage to Amy Winehouse at Fashion Show; Family Rages on Twitter

Designer Jean Paul Gaultier paid homage to Amy Winehouse’s unique style at his Paris runway show earlier this week. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, right? Wrong, if you’re the late singer’s father, Mitch Winehouse. “We don’t support the Jean Paul Galtier [sic] collection. It is in poor taste,” the elder Winehouse tweeted, incensed at his daughter’s image being used to sell clothes. “The family was upset to see those pictures. They were a total shock,” he told The Sun . “We’re still grieving, and we’ve had a difficult week with the six-month anniversary of Amy’s death.” Mitch said Gaultier’s show portrayed “a view of Amy when she was not at her best, [glamorizing] some of the more upsetting times in her life.” Mitch felt it inappropriate to try and cash in on his daughter’s legacy. “To see her image lifted wholesale to sell clothes was a wrench we were not expecting or consulted on. We’re proud of her influence on fashion but find black veils on models, smoking cigarettes with a barbershop quartet singing her music in bad taste.” He wasn’t the only harsh critic of the celebrity fashion designer. Kelly Osbourne, a close friend of Amy Winehouse , also Tweeted in response: “Although @JPGaultier was paying homage to my friend and icon to the world, I found it to be lucratively selfish and distasteful. Exploitation=evil.” [Photo: WENN.com]

Behind the Scenes with Adam Lambert…

Adam Lambert is in full-on album promotional mode. A few days after releasing the cover art for “Trespassing,” the former American Idol favorite is taking fans behind the scenes of his upcoming music video for the first single off that CD, “Better Than I Know Myself.” “Sometimes you screw up or you say something to hurt your partner’s feelings, or you haven’t been supportive,” Adam says below. “This song basically owns that, says, ‘Look, I’m sorry. Sometimes I’m not perfect but without you I don’t know what I would do with myself. I need you because you are the only person that knows me better than I know myself.” Adam Lambert Video Teaser: Behind the Scenes of “Better Than I Know Myself”

Alex Da Silva Sentenced to 10 Years For Rape

Former So You Think You Can Dance choreographer Alex Da Silva has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for raping a former dance student, reports say. Da Silva was arrested back in 2009 for a whole host of felonies. The 43-year-old was charged with sexually assaulting four women, all former dance students of his between the ages of 20 and 26 at the time. Sick. Alex Da Silva on So You Think You Can Dance Da Silva was convicted of one count of rape and one count of assault with intent to rape. The jury deadlocked on the other charges, which were dismissed. Da Silva appeared on Seasons 1-4 of SYTYCD (above, mentoring now- DWTS pro Chelsie Hightower). He was ordered to register as a sex offender for life. Fellow one-time SYTYCD mainstay Shane Sparks was also charged with a sex offense recently, pleading guilty to unlawful sex with a minor.

Susanna Barrett, Awful Toddlers & Tiaras Mom, Sues Media For "Oversexualizing" Daughter

Sigh. The mom of young Isabella Barrett of Toddlers & Tiaras fame is suing the MEDIA for over-sexualizing her daughter … by reporting on Isabella’s “Sexy And I Know It” cover . Susanna Barrett claims media outlets, in reporting that event, portrayed her five-year-old daughter in an “overly sexualized manner.” Right. All the media’s fault. In court papers, Susanna claims Isabella “did not act or portray herself sexually, erotically or provocatively” and that coverage of her performance was unfair.’ Isabella Barrett Sings “Sexy and I Know It” “She was not ‘gyrating’ at a ‘nightclub’ or singing ‘about her sex appeal,” the elder Barrett claims incredulously. “On the contrary, it is the defendants who, through their articles … thrust these false and vulgar characteristics on to Isabella.” Yes, this is a real story. The delusional mother seems to see nothing wrong with having her daughter sing a sexually-themed LMFAO song. The media talking about it though? Shame. Thanks to TMZ, The Huffington Post, The Daily Mail and other celebrity news sources, “Isabella is now perceived sexually, erotically and pornographically.” Suing for $30 million, Barrett adds, “[The articles] place Isabella in physical danger, attracting the attention of others who would seek to sexualize a child.” Well, on those grounds, can someone sue her for $30 million too then?

Madonna Teases ‘Pom Poms’ For Super Bowl, New Video

‘Give Me All Your Luvin’ collaborators Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. might join halftime show, Queen of Pop tells MTV News. By Jocelyn Vena Madonna Photo: MTV News Madonna is nearing both the release of her “Give Me All Your Luvin” music video, as well as her highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime performance. And it seems that these two milestones will have a few things in common. First off, there’s a good chance Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. will not only play parts in the video for the first single off Madge’s M.D.N.A. release, dropping later this year, but as heavily speculated, they might take the stage with the Queen of Pop during the February 5 halftime show. In true Madonna fashion, when MTV News caught up with her at the New York premiere of her film, “W.E.,” she played it cool regarding rumors about the performance. Asked whether the ladies will join her at the Super Bowl, she coyly responded, “I am not saying ‘Yes,’ and I am not saying ‘No.’ ” The only tease she wanted to give was, “Pom poms. That’s all I can tell you.” When Madonna takes the halftime stage next month, her performance will be “imagined” by Cirque du Soleil and Madonna’s longtime choreographer and creative director Jamie King. According to reports, the set list for the show will include “Luvin” as well as the Madonna classics “Ray of Light,” Vogue” and “Music.” Of course, fans won’t find the theme a far stretch for the Michigan native, who was a cheerleader back in her high school days. “I have eight minutes to set up my stage, 12 minutes to put on the greatest show on earth, and I have seven minutes to take it down so that football field is clean for the second half of the game,” she told ABC News about the performance. “That’s the challenge. How do you do that? I actually wanted to have 100 drummers come from the ceiling, a drumline from the ceiling.” So, what else will the Super Bowl show and her Megaforce-directed clip have in common? Madge simply told us, laughing, “Pom poms.” The video was shot in December with both Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. on set. The already buzzed-about shoot made headlines after Minaj tweeted that the icon had kissed her.
