Whoa! Britney Spears just shared a little too much information, which was probably just the right amount to make a lot of people's imaginations run wild!

During an interview with Australia's "Dan & Maz Show" on 2DayFM, the pop star was asked if she's hung out with Mariah Carey in Las Vegas, since they're both doing shows there.

They haven't hung out, but not for any other reason except the fact that their paths simply haven't crossed. Don't get it twisted, though, BritBrit is a huge Mariah Carey fan (aren't we all?) and even listens to her music while she paints - topless!

"I love Mariah Carey," she explained. "Still to this day. I was painting in my room. I have an art room, and I just paint on the walls and do all this kind of crazy stuff and I bought her new greatest hits, and her new Infinity record yesterday, and I was just in there with my top off, just like painting and doing all this artsy-fartsy stuff. I love her. I love her voice."

Ok, good to know! And don't worry, the mother of two isn't walking around the house with her top off. She says she only goes topless in her art room. "That's my place, it's the best," she explained. Hopefully she doesn't sign up for art lessons and accidentally get into that zone in the middle of the class!

Caitlyn Jenner lived her life as Bruce Jenner for 65 years and in that 65 years, she accomplished some pretty incredible things, like becoming an Olympic hero when she won the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Olympics.

On June 1, the day that Caitlyn's Vanity Fair cover was released and the world got to meet her for the first time, a Change.org petition was started to strip her gold medal from her.

"Dear International Olympic Committee," the petition begins. "It has recently come to light that gold medalist Bruce Jenner is in fact transgender, and therefore, identifies as a woman. We congratulate Ms. Jenner on these new developments and wish her the best."

"However, this creates somewhat of a problem as Ms. Jenner (as talented as she is) claims that she has always believed herself to be truly female, and therefore, was in violation of committee rules regarding women competing in men's sports and vice versa," it continues.

The letter goes on to explain why they think the International Olympic Committee should consider revoking her victory and then asking Caitlyn herself to hand over the medal. "We urge Ms. Jenner to support the transgender community by giving up the medals earned by competing against the wrong gender," the petition concludes. "Thank you, and congratulations to Ms. Jenner for her courage! #givebackthegold."

As of Thursday morning, the petition had 10,000 signatures.

Caitlyn Jenner is getting an overwhelming amount of support from celebrities and the internet at large, but there are still some critics who are being pretty outspoken about their feelings about her situation.

When Caitlyn's Vanity Fair cover was first revealed, Drake Bell was one of the first to piss off the collective internet, when he tweeted (and later deleted) "Sorry...still calling you Bruce."

Then, Timbaland sparked outrage when he posted a meme that said "His momma named him Bruce, Imma call him Bruce," after Caitlyn's cover made it clear that SHE wanted to be called CAITLYN.

Now, Snoop Dogg shared this pic on Instagram and the reason people are angry should be pretty self-explanatory.

A photo posted by snoopdogg (@snoopdogg) on Jun 3, 2015 at 2:15am PDT

In the caption, he urged people to tune into his podcast, GGN, for some "real news."

While there are obviously some critics out there, Caitlyn has received widespread support for her courage. In addition, she will be receiving Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs on July 15 and shared this pic on her Instagram account joking in the caption, "what the hell am I going to wear?"

Are Niall Horan and Ariana Grande dating? The rumors were inevitable when Niall partied with Ari after her concert the other night, but now that they've gone and hung out some more, the buzz has really been heating up.

Consider some of the evidence: Ariana was seen leaving Niall's house at 3 a.m. Um. Also? There are reports that they did some shopping together at Harrods. Oh...and Niall was spotted at Ariana's hotel.

Ariana's rep was quick to pounce on this one before it got any legs though, explaining to MailOnline why Ari was seen leaving Nialler's place in the early hours: "Ariana is friends with Niall. He had a big party that she attended."

So...just friends? We thought so.

Caitlyn Jenner was rocking some big designer names during her Vanity Fair shoot. The 65-year-old wore Donna Karan, Badgley Mischka, Zac Posen and Hervé Leger and the shoot's stylist Jessica Diehl revealed that they didn't just select the styles and tell Caitlyn what to wear, in fact, in this interview with E! News, she revealed that it was "100 percent collaboration."

So, what we saw during the shoot was also a lot of Caitlyn's personal style. Caitlyn even kept one item from the shoot and it just so happened to be our favorite piece: the form-fitting red Donna Karan New York dress that she posed in while sitting her (color-coordinating) Porsche.

A photo posted by Kourtney Kardashian (@kourtneykardash) on Jun 1, 2015 at 3:00pm PDT

Regarding the shoot in the Porsche, Jessica explained, "It had a lot to do with Bruce's love of cars and that doesn't mean Caitlyn won't-and won't be into fierce things. Her gender won't define her interest."

We love that! Bruce was really into cars, r/c helicopters, real helicopters and all kinds of cool stuff, so why wouldn't Caitlyn be able to enjoy those same things?

Who says sitting on the side of the stage at a concert is always a bad gig? One fan pretty much had the best seat ever at a recent Taylor Swift show when she caught some epic footage of T-Swizz getting down backstage pre-show.

We all thought Tay only danced when she knew people were watching. Wrong.

"Taylor dancing before hitting the stage," the lucky fan captioned the video on Instagram. "Benefits of sitting to the side of the stage."

In the clip you totally see Tay get her dance on like no other. Seriously, she busts out some serious moves. You go girl!

Oh, and the track she's rocking out to is Fine Young Cannibals' hit single "She Drives Me Crazy". That came out in 1989, of course.

Watch below.

Connor Cruise sparked a lot of controversy when he tweeted his disappointment that Caitlyn Jenner would be receiving the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at this year's ESPY Awards. "Really? Winning the AA award for courage? Ashton is gonna come out and yell PUNK'D," he wrote, in a now-deleted tweet.

He followed up with, "Don't get me wrong. Do what you feel like doing and don't let anyone stop you. But everyone is taking this way too seriously...There are so many more important things that should be talked about...And SO MANY MORE IMPORTANT PEOPLE that actually deserve an award."

There has been some debate on Twitter, with some fans arguing that college basketball star Lauren Hill who lost her battle against brain cancer in April, should have been given the honor, while others feel that Noah Galloway, an army veteran who lost his arm and leg to a roadside bomb in Iraq, should receive it.

For Connor's part, he went on another Twitter rant to clarify his feelings and to let people know that he actually supports Caitlyn.

Totally twisting what I said, if you read what I said I totally support being happy and am glad she is happy.

Usually, when we break up with someone, we don't want any reminders of them hanging around. In Tom Cruise's case, it appears that he doesn't have that same issue, because his assistant totally looks like ex-wife Katie Holmes.

The actor was spotted on the set of his new movie Mena with his assistant, Emily, and the resemblance is uncanny. Maybe Tom doesn't see it? Or maybe he doesn't mind having a Katie lookalike hanging around. Tom and Katie have a daughter, Suri, together, who is a beautiful mix of both of her super famous parents.

Speaking of Tom's children, the actor's son, Connor Cruise has been in the news a lot this week. When the 20-year-old found out Caitlyn Jenner was receiving the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs on July 15, he tweeted (and later deleted), "Really? Winning the AA award for courage? Ashton is gonna come out and yell PUNK'D."

"Don't get me wrong," he followed up. "Do what you feel like doing and don't let anyone stop you. But everyone is taking this way too seriously...There are so many more important things that should be talked about...And SO MANY MORE IMPORTANT PEOPLE that actually deserve an award."

He later took to Twitter to voice his support for Caitlyn and explained that his message was totally misunderstood.

1. We need answers.

2. Who the hell is Charles???

3. Do the girls actually escape the dollhouse, or does A keep them locked up?

4. We can't wait to see Aria's pink streaks back and all the girls' transformations!

5. Will there be an Spoby moments?

6. Same for Haleb?

7. Same for Ezria?

8. Will Alison escape jail or be set free (legally speaking)?

9. Where the hell are the parents in all of this drama?!

10. Is Tanner really on the girls' side?

11. Is Andrew really A? Seems too easy for us.

12. Will any of the loose ends be tied up? Cough. Sarah Harvey. Cough.

13. How will the girls cope going forward?

Ever notice how much more tempting that galaxy print shirt looks at 2 a.m. than it does on a regular afternoon of online shopping? When the stars are out and you're alone in front of a glowing screen, rhinestones burn brighter, ironically shaped kitchenware gleams shinier and those violently pink sneakers suddenly match every outfit hanging in your closet. The late night shopping sport is a delicate game to master - made even more challenging from a night on the town, if you catch our drift.

Drunk Shopping doesn't charge you anything, it's only available for U.S.-based shoppers, and it doesn't even get a cut from the purchases. According to its site, "Nah. We're in it for the love of the game.

Did Taylor Swift make her "Bad Blood" BFF Ellie Goulding take down that Instagram picture with Katy Perry? Well, according to Ellie...that wasn't the case at all.

A few days ago Ellie and Lorde shared pictures on Instagram of them hanging out with Katy and mutual pals. Did they just insert herself into Taylor and Katy's infamous feud?

Ellie captioned the photo of herself partying with Katy, "Don't really remember this but ... good times [dancing flamenco girl emoji]." She was quick to delete the pic shortly after posting, though.

Taylor fans FREAKED out on her because of the shot. They all thought she was betraying the "Bad Blood" girl bond by hanging with Katy.

So is THAT why Ellie decided to delete it? Was Tay pissed off? Did fans threaten her? Not so fast.

"Ohhh, I deleted that because I looked bad in it," Ellie said about the pic during a recent interview. "And I think I was a bit drunk. And I thought it wasn't a very good example of myself. That's so funny that um, that's even a thing. No, I delete things all the time! ... I'm great friends with Katy, I'm great friends with Taylor. That's very silly ... I zoomed in on my actual photo, and I was like, 'No.'"

This isn't the only rumor Ellie's had to recently debunk. She also said that she never dated Ed Sheeran so his song "Don't" isn't about her and Niall Horan.

Here's the thing. I am no one, really. I'm young. I have no plans to become a politician or a well-known celebrity, and I have yet to make a significant impact or provide a significant solution to a world full homelessness, crime and hatred. But I am also everyone. I'm discovering who I am a little more every day like all of you. I discover a little more of the world every day, and I know what I want the world to become: a world filled with love, peace, respect and understanding.

That said, I will not be tuning into any coverage of Caitlyn Jenner and her upcoming reality show this summer. Now, before I get a TON of hate mail, NO it's NOT because I don't agree with her transition. NO, it's NOT because I'm some kind of unfeeling, insensitive or ignorant human being who doesn't support identity expression. I will not be tuning into the show for one reason and one reason only: human exploitation.

OK, before the pitchforks come out, please take a second to hear me. I am NOT SAYING that expressing yourself isn't a priority. I am NOT saying that personal rights aren't a priority. I AM saying that a journey through personal discovery on the covers of magazines and TV screens, with millions of dollars of profit that are not going to be used to help or solve any issue, something that thousands of people walk through every day, is NOT heroism, it's exploitation.

If Bruce, now Caitlyn, had transitioned, walked down a street with quiet confidence, and then given an inspiring interview about her decision, I might have respected that. If the money from this campaign actually went to something that could better the world and/or society, for, I don't know, say troubled youths, I might have even sung praises. Instead, Caitlyn gave high profile interview after high profile interview, and purposefully went places that were known to be populated by paparazzi - all in an effort to launch a campaign for a reality show that, money wise, could rival any political campaign. She brought awareness to an issue (good) and literally nothing else (not so good).

And it worked. For the past six weeks, more coverage on this one person, coverage and promotion for the new resulting reality show, and coverage of people who agree and disagree over the issue of transgender transitioning has literally taken over EVERY ASPECT of today's news. However, none of this money will be going to help anyone. And while there is evidence from Business Insider that Caitlyn did not receive payment for the Vanity Fair cover out this month, there is evidence that there are millions of dollars already made from this story and predicted to be made in the upcoming reality series that will be paid solely to Caitlyn just for making every part of her transition process public for society to gawk at, ridicule, applaud or praise.

Now, I'm not perfect nor am I the moral police. I'm just a girl. A girl who believes in women's rights, faith, family, love, support, and yes, expression of identity. I'm a girl who has seen pain, who has watched friends in the LGBT and Christian communities alike get teased, hurt, abused and misunderstood to the point where they consider taking their own lives (so believe me when I say I do not say any of this lightly). I'm a girl who both loves and is confused by this incredible country that she has the privilege to call home, a country that will praise awareness over the struggles and prejudices towards identity (a good cause), but won't take up arms to raise the same amount of awareness for the thousands of little girls and boys enslaved in human trafficking every day (an equally legitimate current cause). I'm a girl saying that our society seems to cares more about what the media tells them, and what the media tells society to care about is what it is paid to tell society to care about. And maybe society is OK with that - but I'm not.

I care about more than Caitlyn; I care about all people.

I care about enslaved children, and lives lost to war, prejudice and ignorance. I care about the real world, not just a little bit of the "fantasy world" that Hollywood, and yes, even Caitlyn, promotes and profits off of. I care enough to be the "brave" one and write this article, knowing that it isn't popular, knowing that it won't be widely accepted, but knowing that it's got to be said in a way that isn't obnoxious, ridiculous or insensitive.

While I do hope for Caitlyn's happiness in the days to come, I won't be tuning in to her upcoming reality show. I'll be using that hour or so every week to walk down to my local community's humble little youth center and hopefully bring some light and love into the world instead of more controversy and gossip for controversy and gossip's sake. But what do I know? I'm just one girl, and I'm still learning.

Our hearts stopped for a second when we heard the rumor that One Direction will be taking a break next year, not releasing any new music or doing a huge tour. World shattering stuff right there, not to mention the followup rumors that it all means they'll be breaking up soon.

Turns out it's not true, thank the boyband heavens. A spokesperson for 1D shot down the rumors of a break for 2016, assuring fans: "[This is] all pure speculation and not based on any facts. The band are excited about their brand new fifth album and their upcoming tour."

This "break" rumor came courtesy of The Sun (via MTV UK), with an insider telling the newspaper: "The band are to go on a break after promoting the fifth album next year, possibly with a number of live tour dates around the world."

The source added, "Simon Cowell is supportive of what they need to do because he wants the band to stay together in some form for a very long time."

Okayyy.

Further, the insider claims, "They have been working non-stop for five years, sold millions of albums and become some of the biggest celebrities in the world. At some point they have to take time off to step back and consider what they want to do next. What's almost certain is there will be no 1D music next year."

Seriously, we almost lost our minds over this. The source also squealed that Louis Tomlinson would be taking the time off to join the X Factor judges panel.

While we do think the guys could use a little break, we're glad to hear this rumor was busted.

Caitlyn Jenner is an amazing human being, truly. I admire the strength and grace she shows while going through such a trying time during her transformation.

The new teaser trailer for her reality series "I Am Cait" shows her putting on her makeup and discussing what it's like now having all the pressures that females face today. Something at the end of the trailer struck me though, when Cait says "I am the new normal." I don't agree with that.

Yes, the LGBTQ community should be accepted, and we are all human beings who deserve equal rights, but saying that it is the new normal is a little too far. Saying that transgender is the new normal, to me, sounds like too much. What if it has people thinking that if their son is playing with dolls or daughter with footballs, then they are bound to be transgender or gay? I think we all need to let the chips fall where they may and quit the labeling all together.

I also don't believe that one person, who had to be strong, should be celebrated. I think everyone who has come out or is thinking about coming out should be celebrated. In all honesty, I am getting sick of seeing a world dictated by the Jenner/Kardashian family. If Caitlyn had been just an Olympian who decided to come out as transgender, would she have gotten her own show about it? I'm not too sure.

There is no disrespect for the Kardashian or Jenner families when I say this. I just don't think that one famous person who does something amazing deserves another reality TV show. Let's go into the lives of other transgender people and get the real scoop on what it's like. No glitz, no glam, no professional makeup...just raw, real emotion. See how people handle the bullying and scrutiny they get without all the nice things and mansions to keep them comfy. Maybe look at those who can't afford reassignment surgery and at the end, surprise them by paying for them to have it? That would be a show truly stunning and gripping - something I would watch.

File this under 'Things We Already Knew,' but Kelly Clarkson recently revealed that Harry Styles was "such a nice gentleman" when she met him. Well...we don't know him personally, but we have to believe it's the case. Have you seen the way he's so incredibly lovely to the paparazzi, even when he's annoyed with them? Yeah.

In a new interview with This Morning, Kelly gushed over just how amazing Harry is, explaining that he approached her at the Billboard Music Awards to thank her for writing "Tell Me A Lie" for One Direction's first album, Up All Night.

Kelly explained, "He is so nice. He walked up to me out of nowhere at the Billboard Awards, and no one does that. In pop music, people are very like 'too cool for school' most of the time, so I thought he was such a nice gentleman and he was so kind."

She added, "I wrote a song for them for their first record, so it was really nice because he came up and thanked me."

He really is the sweetest cupcake.

Since her Disney Channel days, her stint in rehab and her recovery, I have always been proud of Demi Lovato. She never fails to make me even prouder.

The day after she opened her own production company, Demi announced the launch of her new foundation Be Vocal: Speak Up for Mental Health. This organization advocates to get those with mental disorders to speak up for themselves and for their communities. You can even find hotlines on the site if you need someone to talk to immediately.

Demi knows all about speaking up about her mental disorder. She's promoted awareness for her bipolar disorder ever since she made her first public appearance after coming out of rehab in January 2011.

Bipolar disorder is part of my life, but it doesn't define me. For those struggling with #mentalhealth issues, it's so important to speak up for yourself and learn how to live well. That's why I teamed up with key advocacy groups and Sunovion to launch #BeVocalSpeakUp

A photo posted by Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) on May 28, 2015 at 4:27am PDT

That's the reason why I decided I wanted to speak up about my own borderline personality disorder. But I didn't just want to speak to anyone about it, I wanted to talk to Demi because she's the one who inspired me.

Remember when she was on X-Factor? Her second year there, in 2013, auditions came to New Orleans. Two two-hour car rides, four days in a strange city with just my sister, dozens of hours in long lines, and nerves up the wazoo later, I auditioned just for the chance to meet Demi.

Even though it was all for Demi, it was a great experience, and I'd love to thank her for it some day. I met some great people and even met up with some friends there. I also got a chance to spend some time with some really cute boys, and really, who can pass that up? But the best part of the experience came from the confidence I got when I made it through three rounds of judging and got to sing on camera.

I will admit that I never got the call for that final audition in front of the celebrity judges, but that didn't stop me from going to watch the live auditions and seeing Demi at work. That was an even greater experience.

We got to sit right up front, exactly parallel to the judges' table. Simon, Paulina and Kelly Rowland all waved at my sister and me. And Demi was brilliant. She was beautiful and professional, and she laughed at a joke I made.

I didn't get to hug Demi or tell her my name or even my story. But I will never forget that moment two years ago, June 11, 2013, when Demi said hello to me, and I will never forget the confidence she gave to me.

That's why I will always speak up for my #mentalhealth.

There are Joe Jonas and Gigi Hadid dating rumors swirling around like crazy these days. While all of that is super exciting in itself, we can't help but wonder what Gigi's "Bad Blood" BFF and Joe's ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift thinks about the situation...

Isn't dating your friend's ex like an obvious violation of girl code? Pretty much. But that doesn't mean Taylor is fazed by Joe and Gigi's new fling. She IS the pro of shaking things off after all, right?

Joe and Gigi have been recently spotted getting their PDA on, even though they've denied that they're dating. She was also just strutting her stuff on Tay's 1989 stage last week in Detroit. So what's up?

Well, we're pretty sure there's no drama here. Actually, Joe and Gigi partied with Taylor at a Billboard Music Awards after party earlier in the month. They were all spotted together in a group pic, along with Tay's boo Calvin Harris.

It looks like they're pretty much over the past, and have moved on. But still...we all know how weird that HAS to be for Calvin and Gigi. Let's just hope they haven't heard Taylor's "Last Kiss"...

Eyebrows: We love them, we get frustrated with them, sometimes we over-pluck them, and sometimes our pals remind us that unibrows are never a good call. Whatever your stance on eyebrow shape might be, there's a new trend that you need to know about: colorfully-dyed brows. That's right. Think rainbows, bright blues and deep greens - funky colors aren't just for your beautiful tresses anymore.

Gorgeous, right?!

While we want to stress that you're going to want to be super careful and responsible putting any kind of dye near your eyeballs (because, yanno, if you go blind doing this, then you won't be able to look at pictures of adorable animals anymore), this is a pretty cool new trick.

If you're thinking about trying on one of these looks, here's a really handy guide to choosing the best dyes and all the supplies you'll need. Bustle also just released this rad how-to for lightening your brows if you need to go a bit lighter before trying that hot shade of pink.

Sorry, haters! The International Olympic Committee has reportedly responded to the petition to revoke Caitlyn Jenner's Olympic gold medal for the 1976 decathlon and Cait can proudly hang on to that incredible honor that she earned.

Right now, the petition has over 13,000 signatures and people can keep on signing, but the IOC says that the fact that Cait competed as a man will not impact her status as an Olympian and they have "no issue" with her gender after her announcement, according to The Independent.

"Bruce Jenner won his gold medal in the 1976 Olympic Games and there is no issue for the IOC," the organization's Communications Director, Mark Adams, explained to Yahoo in response to the petition.

"It has recently come to light that gold medalist Bruce Jenner is in fact transgender, and therefore, identifies as a woman," the petition read. "We congratulate Ms. Jenner on these new developments and wish her the best. However, this creates somewhat of a problem as Ms. Jenner (as talented as she is) claims that she has always believed herself to be truly female, and therefore, was in violation of committee rules regarding women competing in men's sports and vice versa."

Not so, according to the IOC's rules for transgender individuals. In October 2003, before the Athens games, a committee met in Stockholm, Sweden and created a new policy that opened the door for transgender athletes, granted they met the following criteria (via CNN):

• Surgical changes must have been completed, including external genitalia changes and removal of gonads.

• Legal recognition of their assigned sex must have been conferred by appropriate official authorities.

• Hormone therapy -- for the assigned sex -- must have been given for long enough to minimize any gender-related advantages in sport competitions, a period that must be at least two years after gonadectomy.

In addition to her gold medal achievement, Caitlyn will also be receiving the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs in July.
