Yikes! Was that the sound of a million, screaming tween girls recoiling in horror?

Don't worry fans, Justin Bieber isn't planning on ditching his hip-hop bling for cowboy boots any time soon. But the teen sensation is teaming up with country music group Rascal Flatts to record a duet in 2011 - and it was Biebs' idea.

"[Justin] asked us to do a duet with him on his next record," Rascal Flatts lead singer Gary LeVox told WSIX. "It's actually a really good song!"

Now that we’ve said farewell to “Larry King Live,” it’s time to welcome "Piers Morgan Tonight."

Morgan will slide into the 9 p.m. slot exactly one month from today, January 17, 2011.

Save the date, and stay tuned for more announcements.

Remember when everyone was worried about David Arquette having a nervous breakdown? Yeah, he was just joking when he said that.

In fact, the same applies to another little tidbit that's been making its rounds: it turns out Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey won't be marrying in Italy.

Arquette and Minnillo have both spoken up about their respective reports, clarifying that neither statement made was meant to be taken seriously.

Did you forget that reality TV stars are like, the thing to care about? You did? Well, thank goodness this week’s celebrity weekly round-up is here to remind you!

In a week where celebrity couple after celebrity couple – and by that we mean two individuals that get paid to practice the craft of acting, singing, what have you – ended their relationships, apparently the only thing that’ll sell these mags is news about “Teen Moms” and “Kardashians.”

If you’re not Sandra Bullock, you probably didn’t stand a chance.

Until next week…

The video starts with words of doom and gloom from Collider.com, claiming that "a Friday air date is usually the beginning of the end for any series."

And then, almost acting as TV coroners, more pronouncements from bloggers flash on the screen, proclaiming a surefire death for Fox's cult series "Fringe."

This new Fox promo for the show - which, if you can't already tell is jumping from Thursday to Friday in the new year - pokes fun at the long-held belief that many shows can't survive on Friday (especially on the post-"X-Files" Fox, where "genre" shows like "Firefly," "Dark Angel," "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" and "Wonderfalls" met an early demise).

If the story of Gwyneth Paltrow’s rehabilitating, country-singing character in “Country Strong” winds up reminding you of anyone, it’ll probably be Britney Spears.

The movie’s writer-director, Shana Feste, told the Los Angeles Times that the love-hate relationship between major stars and the media is what inspired her to create Paltrow’s Kelly Canter, a singer who’s fallen from grace.

"That's where this movie came from. I mean, I was seeing what was happening in the media to Britney Spears," she told the paper.

How’s this for spreading holiday cheer: Lil Wayne, now a free man himself after his release from prison in early November, has helped someone else get out of confinement.

The 28-year-old rapper, who served eight months in New York's Riker’s Island on a weapons charge, has bestowed the mother of fan Ronda Austin with a wheelchair.

He writes on his website, WeezyThanxYou.com, that he came to know Ronda through a series of letters she sent him while he was serving his sentence.

Julianne Hough may be a bit too...well, naked, for some people's liking in her latest music video, "Is That So Wrong," but CMT isn't complaining. At least not about that.

The "Dancing with the Stars" favorite told fans at a Christmas concert last week that CMT banned her video due to its steamy content.

"Apparently I was taking off too many clothes as I was dancing across my bedroom. But I don't know ... I kind of liked it," Hough said.

For a movie that's billed as an action-filled drama, "The Tourist" has had people in stitches this week.

First there was the noticeable laughter from the press when it was announced that "The Tourist" was nominated by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for a best comedy or musical Golden Globe. Then one of the "Tourist's" own stars, Angelina Jolie, couldn't hold back laughter when she heard she'd been nominated for her performance in the film.

The mom of six snagged a Globes nomination in the best actress in a comedy or musical category for her role, and according to the Hollywood Reporter, she said she laughed "because it's the first time that I've been in the comedic category, so it's new for me."

Full disclosure: I am a huge "Archie" comic book fan, which means I have something in common with Penny's on-again dude, Zack.

He's that cute, lovable doofus who is so good at being... you know, cute and lovable. He's back in the picture – if only for the New Year's holiday – so Penny doesn't have to be alone.

I have to say, I really like this kid. He is the perfect dizzy foil to our geniuses. When the guys make fun of him for being an idiot (mostly cause he's a bit of an idiot) he manages to come off as both sweet and hapless. Those are the characteristics which made me fall in love with Sheldon, Leonard and the gang in the first place.
