Princess Eugenie attended Beyonce's recent Mrs. Carter Show at the O2 Arena and was the subject of a major hubbub. The U.K.'s Mirror reported that Beyoncé unknowingly thrust the cousin of Prince William and Prince Harry into the spotlight by putting the microphone in her face during an audience participation segment in "Irreplaceable," but the princess froze and was unable to get the words out.

Video of the purported incident has turned up in YouTube, but no such scene is visible to us in the clip, nor in photos pulled from it published by the New York Daily News.

We can confirm that Beyoncé did have a royal encounter with Eugenie. At about the 1:25 mark of the video you can see the princess and her posse shaking it and singing along as Queen Bey squats down and serenades them. Check it out.

Korean pop star Psy rocked it Dodger-style Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, during a game against the Colorado Rockies.

In the middle of the fourth inning, he came out of the owners' box to perform a 30-second jig to "Gentleman," currently number five with a bullet on the Billboard Hot 100. That song is the follow-up his mega-hit "Gangnam Style," which has become a stadium anthem across the country and has frequently won the fan-voted Dodger Jukebox in Los Angeles

However, fans at the stadium, including Dodger legend Tommy Lasorda--whose musical tastes run closer to Frank Sinatra--didn't know quite what to make of Psy. You can see Lasorda, in a blue buttoned-down shirt, looking on dumbfounded in the video as Psy shakes his moneymaker.

It appears Fantasia is taking the title of her new single, "Lose to Win," to heart, as the former American Idol winner has lost her house. A financial crunch forced her to transfer the deed of her $1.1 million North Carolina home back to the bank and she exits the deal empty handed.

Fantasia's financial troubles began back in 2009, when she had to borrow against the house to pay her taxes, nearly sending the home into foreclosure. Last year, she tried to sell the house -- once featured on the VH1 series Fantasia For Real -- for $800,000, considerably less than she paid for it, but apparently there were no takers.

Court documents say Fantasia transferred the deed over to the bank in February to avoid foreclosure, but the deal leaves her without the house, according to TMZ.

Country legend George Jones died Friday at age 81. While his impact on the Nashville scene is well-documented, his influence also extended into the rock world. Here's a look some rock artists who have been inspired by the Possum.

1. Elvis Costello - Jones has been a huge influence on Costello, who called him his favorite country singer back in 1977. Elvis covered George's "A Drunk Can't Be a Man" and "Good Year for the Roses" and got together with George for his 1979 duets album, My Very Special Guests, doing his own "Stranger in My House" alongside Jones. The pair reprised the duet in a few TV appearances.

Boy, that Justin Bieber just can't seem to stay out of trouble. Swedish police say they found a small amount of drugs and a stun gun on his tour bus in Stockholm, where the teen idol performed Wednesday night.

Police spokesman Kjell Lindgren tells Reuters that an officer smelled marijuana on an empty tour bus outside the hotel where Bieber was staying. The raid took place 30 minutes before the pop star took the stage.

"The police went onto the bus and searched it and found a small amount of narcotics," Lindgren said in a statement.
