Washington, D.C. is about to be infused with a little Motown flavor.

The President and First Lady are inviting both contemporary and classic artists to the White House for a concert on Thursday, February, 24. The evening will honor both the 50-year legacy of Motown as well as Black History Month, according to a statement.

Smokey Robinson; Natasha Bedingfield; Sheryl Crow; Jamie Foxx; Nick Jonas; country group Gloriana; John Legend; R&B singer Ledisi; “Glee” stars Amber Riley and Mark Salling; Seal; and Jordin Sparks have all signed up to perform at the event.

If you happen to have an in at the White House, “The Motown Sound: In Performance at the White House” will be held in the East Room at 6:30 p.m. But for the rest of us, the concert will be broadcast on PBS stations nationwide on March 1 at 8 p.m. E.T.

Considering all those big names who do guest spots on "Glee," you'd think Dianna Agron would feel at ease around A-listers.

But the actress says she was so starstruck at the Grammys that she relied on "Glee" guest star Gwyneth Paltrow to introduce her to Beyoncé.

"I had kind of an in because Gwyneth was there," Agron told talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel. "[Co-star] Kevin McHale and I were like, 'We can go say hi to her' — and she was right next to Beyoncé. So we kind of weaseled our way into meeting Beyoncé."

For dance aficionados, 33-year-old Benjamin Millepied is better known as a principal dancer for the New York City ballet, but to nearly everyone else, he's the guy who is now engaged to Natalie Portman...and is also the father of the baby she's expecting.

The French-born Millepied - who choreographed Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan," which starred Portman - posed in a series of photos for ELLE magazine's March issue with his dancing partner of 10 years, Jenifer Ringer. You can see more photos here.

Portman, 29, hasn't been too shy about discussing their relationship; she thanked Millepied during her acceptance speech for the best dramatic actress in a motion picture Golden Globe for "helping me continue [to create] more life."

Miley Cyrus’s dad now says he regrets letting Miley do “Hannah Montana," but is this admission a case of too little, too late?

I say, it’s definitely not too late! Yes, Miley’s 18 and can make her own decisions, but Billy Ray will never stop being a father no matter how old Miley gets. Billy Ray seems to be trying to regain some of the control he feels he has lost over Miley, who’s been doing some pretty wild things recently.

What do you think? Too little, too late for Billy Ray? Post your thoughts below.

They're second guessing themselves and each other, and it doesn't look like anything good will come of it.

Zeek was having second thoughts about how important it is for Drew to see his father. I can understand that because Seth is an idiot, even if he is sober - I can't imagine what he's like drunk.

Fantasia Barrino opted not to attend the Grammy awards on Sunday, but maybe she would've reconsidered if she'd been included in the Aretha Franklin tribute.

“I'm going to be very honest with you. You know I wasn't at the Grammys last night. I'm kind of going through my own little thing,” Barrino told “106 & Park” hosts Rocsi and Terrence on Monday, according to Billboard. “Last night they were honoring someone who is my idol, Aretha Franklin, and there is no way I could have sat there and not got the happy feet and wanting to jump on the mic because she is my favorite.”

The 26-year-old went on, “I felt like, you know, at the end of the day I should have been on that stage so, I kind of did my own little thing last night.”

The Bieber fever is undeniable.

That is one of the lessons I took away from Tuesday night’s episode of “Glee.” Sam put together the “Justin Bieber experience,” which pretty much consisted of pulling his bangs into his eyes and crooning some Bieber tunes.

As any tween will tell you, the power of the Bieb is all-encompassing, and pretty soon all of the girls were going crazy.

Season one of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" may be over, but plenty of questions still remain: What's going on with Kyle and Camille? And Kyle and Kim? And what's the deal with season two? Vulture turned to — who else? — Kyle Richards for the answers.

"Camille and I are actually in a good place," she says of Kelsey Grammer's ex-wife, who was a good friend before their season-long feud began.

"After the reunion [special], I thought there would be no turning back and we'd never be able to fix our relationship, but we're actually in a good place now. We were laughing about my face at the reunion and how angry I looked. And she was like, 'What about those looks I was throwing you?' So we can laugh about it now. I hope we can stay there, because it feels much better than things being very tense between us."
