Russell Brand appeared on Ellen DeGeneres ‘ daytime talk show this morning, and in between promoting his new movie Rock Of Ages and making Ellen squirm by commenting on current events like the breastfeeding TIME cover , the comedian spoke fondly of his ex-wife, Katy Perry . “I love her as a human being, but sometimes when you’re in a relationship I suppose it doesn’t work out, does it? But that doesn’t mean I regret it or anything… I was very happy to be married to her, she’s such a beautiful human being, and I only have love and positivity for her.” Nice to see Russell remaining a gent after such a public breakup. Making us love him even more was his bonding session with Ellen’s co-hosts (basically, at this point) Sophia Grace and Rosie , who hail from the same town as Brand. Watch the three Brits have a ball in the clip below! “Oh, my little Essex friends! We all escaped!” exclaimed Russell, to the girls’ delight
The Top 3 had their grand homecomings on Wednesday night’s (May 16) episode of American Idol , so we got an interesting glimpse into their pre-fame lives. And we got three rounds of singing: the judges chose the songs in round one, the Idols chose their second, and Jimmy Iovine picked their final numbers. At this stage in the game you have to start thinking about marketability, and that was apparent in the choices. Joshua Ledet aimed to prove he’s not just an outdated soul crooner, that Phillip Phillips is more than a Dave Matthews retread, and that Jessica Sanchez can give moment-less songs a moment.

Head below for reactions from those who have worked with Summer, as well as those were dancing along to her tunes all these years. Duran Duran ‘s Nick Rhodes wrote a blog post about Donna and the effect her music had on his band: I just heard the very sad news that Donna Summer has passed away
Back in March we gave one lucky fan the chance to fly away with a friend to sunny Los Angeles to see The X-Factor ‘s newest judge, Demi Lovato , give an intimate concert for her most adoring Lovatics. Even if that lucky fan wasn’t you, you can catch the “Give Your Heart A Break” singer’s paired-down performance tomorrow (Friday, May 18) when the full show premieres on Vevo. For a little taste right now, watch the 30-second teaser trailer above in which Demi looks radiant, all long flowing locks, ethereal layers and chunky jewelry, plus see how the small club setting came together before the show.
During his MTV First chat with Sway last night, Usher showed some footage from his recent takeover of Fuerza Bruta . What, exactly, is that , you ask? You can read about it here , or listen to Usher explain it: “It’s a play — it’s not necessarily a play in the standard sense of the word. But down at the Daryl Roth Theatre they put on these shows.

Donna Summer , the Grammy-winning disco diva who charted with hits like “Bad Girls”, “Hot Stuff” and “Last Dance” in the 1970s, has reportedly died at the age of 63 following a battle with cancer. She was said to be in Florida at the time of her death, and was focusing on completing her first studio album since 2008′s Crayons .

It’s fitting that the artist who had a #1 hit with “Live Your Life” is showing his support for President Barack Obama ‘s endorsement of same-sex marriage. In an interview for MTV’s RapFix Live , T.I. echoes Jay-Z ‘s sentiments from the other day about marriage rights for gays — somewhat.
