Jason Mraz and Tristan Prettyman split

Love song crooner Jason Mraz is back to being single after revealing he and fiancée Tristan Prettyman called it quits and broke off their engagement.

The "I'm Yours" singer told The Daily Beast at the Samsung Hope for Children gala on Monday that he's in the midst of healing and wants to express the process through his music.

"My greatest mistake right now is, I've been clinging to my art," Mraz said. "In that, I have victory for my art and a great loss for my heart."

Is fame screwing with Emma Watson's dating life?

Is fame screwing with Emma Watson's dating life?

Emma Watson’s international fame as a “Harry Potter” star didn’t get her bullied out of Brown University as rumors suggested, but it might be putting a crimp in her social life.

The 21-year-old told the U.K.’s Sunday Times Style magazine that landing a date hasn’t been easy.

“I say to my friends, 'Why hasn't X called me? Why doesn't anyone ever pursue me?' They're like, 'Probably because they're intimidated.' It must be the fame wall," she told the magazine, according to Us Weekly. "It must be the circus that goes around me. Me, as a person, I find it hard to believe I would be intimidating.”

'Showbiz Tonight' Flashpoint: Is 'The Voice' better than 'Idol'?

'Showbiz Tonight' Flashpoint: Is 'The Voice' better than 'Idol'?

Tuesday night, the new singing competition that’s dominating our airwaves, “The Voice,” went live. With the show’s growing popularity, “The Voice” has been repeatedly compared to “American Idol,” which just wrapped up its 10th season. So I want to ask you – which show do you like better?

I think the shows are different enough that I can’t say one is better than the other, but “The Voice” is definitely a refreshing take on a now very familiar formula. I had a feeling it would be a hit after seeing a preview a few months ago and I’m thrilled for the show’s success and for my buddy Carson Daly, the host.

Speaking of Carson Daly, he will be on with me tonight as a "Showbiz Tonight" Newsmaker! We’re asking Carson about the comparisons of “The Voice” to “Idol,” and the chemistry between “The Voice” judges. Christina Aguilera, Cee-Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton have a lot of people talking.

Shania Twain confirms 2-year Vegas gig

Shania Twain's headed for Vegas. The singer confirmed a two-year residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace during a press conference streamed on her website Wednesday.

Twain said she thought deeply about whether or not to make the commitment before agreeing to move to Sin City.

“I’ve learned how to commit myself and put that into healing rather than fear and anxiety,” said the country artist, who divorced her husband in 2010 after learning of his affair with her friend.

Edie Falco: WTH is Kim Kardashian?

Edie Falco: WTH is Kim Kardashian?

There’s rarely a day where you can escape hearing about one Kardashian or another, but acclaimed actress Edie Falco would still like a primer on why one particular Kardashian’s so famous.

Falco, whose work in “The House of Blue Leaves” earned her a Tony nomination, told New York magazine’s Vulture that she thinks our celebrity obsession has turned into a fascination with people who haven’t done anything to warrant being a celebrity.

“There’s an obsession with famous people who, oftentimes, are not worthy of a million people knowing who they are and what they think,” the “Nurse Jackie” star said.

Captain America is losing his hair

Captain America is losing his hair

Chris Evans seemed to have a full head of hair when he swung by Comic-Con last July (as seen in the picture above), but the “Captain America” actor says he’s losing his locks.

Evans told E! at Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards that it’s actually making him a little worried about how he’ll pull off his superheroic duties as the franchise continues.

“I have no problem saying this, but I'm losing my hair,” Evans said. Considering that the actor, who turns 30 on Monday, signed on to do three "Captain America" movies as well as three "Avengers" movies, “The fear is this [role] can span 10 years so I can be doing this character until I’m 40.”

Gwen Stefani doubtful solo career has a future

Gwen Stefani doubtful solo career has a future

Think back to the last time you heard a new track from Gwen Stefani. Been a while, hasn’t it?

Her last solo album, “The Sweet Escape,” came out five years ago, and it seems she's all but said "Hollaback" to being a lone musician.

The No Doubt frontwoman sat down with Entertainment Weekly for this week's issue along with guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal and drummer Adrian Young, and explained that her foray into being a solo artist wasn't meant to be an ongoing thing.

“That was a moment in time,” she said. “It went on a little longer than we all thought it would because it was inspired and you have to go with wherever you’re at in that time in your life….everything works out how it should.”

Are you going to miss a solo Stefani?

Christina Aguilera abrasive on 'The Voice'?

Christina Aguilera may need to take some lessons from Jennifer Lopez.

While "Idol's" Lopez has used her time on her hit singing competition show to transform her diva reputation to that of a supportive softie,  Aguilera appears to be going in another direction.

The "Voice's" celebrity coach is coming across as a tad rude in her dealings with fellow judges as she talks over them, makes wisecracks and gets in a few eye rolls here and there at the expense of her male, fellow judges Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton. FULL POST

Summer thrills as 'Covert Affairs' returns

Summer thrills as 'Covert Affairs' returns

If you're like me, the dog days of summer entertainment in 2010 were made a lot more exciting by USA's smash hit series "Covert Affairs." It stood out among the "White Collars" and the "Burn Notices" with a top-notch cast, a season-long story arc that kept you guessing, and a realism that kept it from the obvious comparisons to "Alias."

Tuesday night's season premiere found Annie Walker, seemingly having found happiness with her ex, Ben Mercer, nursing him back to health in the hospital.

That happiness was short-lived, however, when the two of them had to escape assassins, making for one of the most exciting first five minutes of any season this year.

Khloe Kardashian apologizes for nip slip

Viewers tuned in to “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday saw a bit more of Khloe Kardashian than they probably bargained for.

The reality TV star was promoting the new season of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” along with her sister Kourtney when she had a little wardrobe malfunction.

Kardashian, who was wearing a blouse partly made of sheer fabric, wrote on her blog after the incident, “As I’m sure you’ve all heard (or seen), I had a bit of a nip slip this morning on Fox & Friends! Whoops!!! My stylist Monica Rose DID tell me to wear a bra with that sheer top but being the naughty girl that I am I disobeyed and went bra-less.”
