Lindsay Lohan is suing Pitbull for using her name in the song “Give Me Everything,” and the rapper has responded in a surprising way – with an invitation to the VMAs!

Pitbull addresses the lawsuit in a video posted to his website, Planet Pit. In it, the star says he was “very surprised” to find out about the legal action being taken against him, which he first assumed was some type of joke. But interestingly, the rapper isn’t bitter. Pitbull tells the interviewer that he “supports” La Lohan’s career.

Pitbull also clarifies the lyrics to his song. He says the song goes, “Got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan” not “locked up like Lindsay Lohan.” The former would imply that she’s in control, while the latter would be referencing her jail stint.

Director/actor Kevin Smith tells CNN he’s eternally grateful to golf star Tiger Woods for deflecting media attention away from him when he was “too fat to fly.”

Last year, the “Red State” director was kicked off a Southwest Air flight because he wasn’t able to comfortably fit in his seat. Smith had originally purchased two tickets for the Oakland-to-Burbank trip, but when he was bumped to an earlier flight, only one seat was available. After being seated, he was asked to leave.

In a statement, Southwest explained that Smith’s removal was for the "safety and comfort of all customers."

Jim Carrey has gone public with his love for fellow actor Emma Stone with an online video he describes as a joke.

The comedian posted the video to his new website on Wednesday. The love letter contains intense lines like: "Emma, I think you're all the way beautiful. Not just pretty, but smart and kind-hearted. And if I were a lot younger, I would marry you."

He continues: "We would have chubby little freckle-faced kids, we'd laugh all day long, go camping and play Yahtzee. Tell ghost stories by the fire. ...And every day, for the rest of your life, you would thank God that I was the appropriate age for you." (Carrey even mentions the sex he’d like to have with “The Help” star.)

Jason Bateman and wife Amanda Anka are expecting their second child, CNN can confirm.

“I’m going to be a grandfather again,” Amanda’s father, singer Paul Anka, announced to ET Canada. And grandpa spilled the beans on the baby’s sex, too! It’s “another baby girl,” he shared.

Bateman seems to enjoy living a kid-friendly lifestyle with 4-year-old daughter Francesca "Frannie" Nora. “We love our house,” the actor has reportedly said of being a homebody. “Our kid doesn't really like to drink or dance yet so we stay home, play a lot of games and watch TV and run around and be goofy."

Jason and Amanda, both 42, have been married for 10 years.

Rihanna isn't one to be demure about her preferences in the bedroom, but now there are claims that her private moments have been caught on tape.

Adult company Hustler tells E! News that they have footage of RiRi during an intimate session, which reports claim also involves rapper J.Cole, but that they don't know "what we are going to do with it yet."

But a source close to the 23-year-old singer tells E! no such tape exists, and Rihanna has done the same.

"We don't believe U, U need more people," she tweeted Wednesday. "AND ofcourse an actual sextape! #slownewsday."

Editor's Note: In the exclusive post below, hip-hop artist Missy Elliott reflects  on the 10 year anniversary of her friend Aaliyah's death. Elliott writes:

Today is the 10 year anniversary of Aaliyah’s passing and I’m sitting here reminiscing and playing music, thinking of the times we spent together, working, laughing, singing, dancing, cutting up. But really, it’s not all that different from any other day because I do think about her every day.

Not on purpose, but she is my friend and that’s just how I do. I’ve told the same stories for 9 years – how we met, how me and Tim were scared but Aaliyah was so welcoming and had this smile and way about her that put us at ease, that she liked to take chances and we were able to just be who we were and make good records together.
