While you were working ...

Today's news you might've missed:

  • Kings of Leon are ready to reign with new music. The band's set to drop "Mechanical Bull" on September 24. [Rolling Stone]
  • If Jerry Bruckheimer has his way, Maverick will be flying again in a sequel to "Top Gun." "As long as [Cruise] keeps his enthusiasm, we'll get it made," Bruckheimer said at a weekend conference. [EW]
  • In case you missed it, Justin Bieber's fans are now old enough to wear (padded) bras and throw them on stage. "I guess everyone grows up," commented Bieber, 19. Ah, youth. So fleeting! [Justin Bieber's Instagram]
  • "The East" co-stars Alexander Skarsgard and Ellen Page are awfully cuddly while promoting their new movie in San Francisco on Sunday. But maybe they're just work-spouses ... [ONTD]
  • It seems some Tony Awards viewers thought Neil Patrick Harris used the "N" word during his celebrated hosting gig last night - something Harris has strongly denied. "I would NEVER be so disrespectful and frankly, neither should you," he tweeted to the Daily Mail. [Daily Mail/NPH's Twitter]
