While Fred Armisen hasn't officially announced his "Saturday Night Live" departure after 11 seasons, his last skit on this weekend's "SNL" finale certainly seemed like the most rock 'n' roll "SNL" goodbye ever. Yes, even more than that time Mick Jagger serenaded the exiting Kristen Wiig on "SNL" last year.

By Craig Rosen | Stop The Presses! – Fri, May 17, 2013 3:02 PM EDT
Photo: Kevin WinterFirst it was Katy Perry. Now it's Britney Spears who's doing "the smurf."That's right, Ms. Spears has revealed her new track, "Ooh La La," which will be featured on the soundtrack for The Smurfs 2, which opens on July 31.
The song begins with that sweet and innocent voice we all fell in love with years ago before ratcheting it up with an aggressive rap/chant section and electronic effects, and then returning to that sugary-sweet classic Brit in the chorus.

Photo: Ragnar SingsaasBy Jon WiederhornGerman customs officials are pointing their fingers at pop singer Justin Bieber and sternly declaring, "Young man, no more monkey business."
The officers have given Bieber until midnight Friday to decide whether he wishes to reclaim his pet capuchin monkey, Mally – which they seized on March 28 – or if he wants it to be turned over to a German zoo or animal park. Either way, they're planning to hit the pop star with a hefty fine.
Mally was taken from the singer because he was unable to supply customs with papers that proved the animal had been vaccinated after his plane arrived in Munich on his world tour.

Black Sabbath perform on "CSI" (Photo: CBS)By Jon WiederhornFor weeks now, the Black Sabbath promotions department has been reminding fans and the press that the season finale of "CSI" would include a snippet of a song from Black Sabbath’s new album, 13, which comes out June 11.
On Wednesday, Universal Republic Records made good on their word, and fans didn't even have to wait long to see the heavy metal legends in action — or at least lip-syncing the new song. Viewers who tuned in late, figuring Sabbath would be saved for the end of the show, missed the whole thing.

Kanye performing in NYC (Photo: Theo Wargo)Leave it to Kanye West to turn an embarrassing moment into a massive onstage tirade. The rap star, who performed at a surprise show at New York's Roseland Ballroom Wednesday night for an Adult Swim Upfront party, took the opportunity to lambast paparazzi and tell the world that he "ain't no motherf---ing celebrity."During his hour-plus set, West went on a rant for more than three minutes, declaring himself the "worst kinda celebrity" and saying he was fed up with people running up to him with cameras, asking him "dumbass questions, throwing me off my focus and sh-t."
