  • Mariah Carey, 41, and Nick Cannon, 30, didn't immediatelyname their boy and girl twins, who were born Saturday, at an undisclosedhospital in Los Angeles.

    But that issue has been resolved, according to CNN. Thedaughter, who was reportedly born first, is named Monroe Cannon. And the son isMoroccan Scott Cannon. Mariah decided not to give Monroe a middle name because she herself doesn't have one.

    Monroeis named after Mariah's idol, Marilyn Monroe. Mariah is such a huge MarilynMonroe fan that she purchased the late star's white piano from an auction. Inher will, Mariah leaves the prized possession to the Smithsonian.

    Moroccan's first name was inspired by his father's proposal.Nick asked Mariah to marry him in the Moroccan Room on the top tier of Mariah'sapartment in New York City.Moroccan's middle name Scott is also the middle name of his father and maidenname of Nick's grandmother.

  • Big tease that she is, over the past months Lady Gaga has been slowly revealing bits and pieces of her upcoming album Born This Way to her devoted little monsters. She debuted songs at Fashion Week, posted new album art on Twitter, and is even debuting the music video for her single "Judas" on "American Idol" this week. Today, Gaga tweeted the front and back artwork of the album, with the full tracklisting and some seriously gravity-defying/ankle-shattering heels.

    Though the tracklisting is still the expected mix of religious innuendoes and hard-rock allusions, it does indicate that the glamorous trappings of fame and partying are no longer foremost on her mind (she's experienced plenty of both by now). Just judging from the song titles, the album seems like an existential spinoff musical based on Meat Loaf's Harley Davidson-revving character Eddie in Rocky Horror. But now that Gaga is at the height of superstardom, where is there left for her to go musically but straight up to

  • The Hollywood Reporter just announced that British songstress Ellie Goulding, a teenager who just released her first album, will play at the private Royal Wedding reception Friday at Buckingham Palace. Not a bad gig for a newbie. According to THR, Ellie, whose LP Lights recently debuted at number one in the U.K., is one of Kate and William's favorite British artists.

    However, in the U.S. Ellie is still largely unknown, and in fact last month she was playing a venue decidedly more low-key than Buckingham Palace: Yahoo! Music's actual hotel room at the Austin musicfest South By Southwest, where she performed an extremely intimate, acoustic show for a few lucky Y! staffers.

    So who is this girl? Well, across the pond, the singer's rise to fame was swift: After recording some acoustic home demos a few years ago, a pair of musical relationships with cutting-edge producers/musicians Vincent Frank, aka Frankmusic, and Fin Dow-Smith, aka Starsmith, laid the groundwork for rapid attention from

  • Weird Al Yankovic has forged a three-decade career by covering A-list artists, everyone from Madonna to Michael Jackson to Diddy. But one artist who didn't apparently appreciate his sense of humor is Lady Gaga, who had allegedly rejected Al's parody of her song "Born This Way." But it turns out it was all one big misunderstanding--and it was her manager's fault! Apparently Gaga never even heard Al's parody until he came forward and put it online in protest.

    "My parodies have always fallen under what the courts call 'fair use,' and this one was no different, legally allowing me to record and release it without permission," Al wrote in a post called "THE GAGA SAGA" on his blog Wednesday. "But it has always been my personal policy to get the consent of the original artist before including my parodies on any album, so of course I will respect Gaga's wishes. However, given the circumstances, I have no problem with allowing people to hear it online, because I also have a personal policy not

  • No, Amy Winehouse still hasn't gotten around to recording a follow-up to her critically acclaimed, Grammy-winning breakthrough album, Back To Black. But her father, Mitch Winehouse, has just released his musical debut, Rush Of Love, at age 59.

    Since his famously rehab-resistant daughter became an international tabloid sensation thanks to her sultry pipes, towering Snooki-prototype bouffant, stormy marriage to "Blake Incarcerated," and multiple arrests, London taxi driver Mitch Winehouse has also been in the news, frequently (some might say eagerly) ranting to reporters at length about his daughter's troubles. So maybe it's not such a surprise that he took advantage of his fame-by-association and decided to become a recording artist himself.

    Like Amy, Mitch dabbles in old-school torch singing. (Rush Of Love is a jazz-crooner album, in a vaguely Bublé-ish vein, that includes covers of standards like "Day By Day.") And, like Amy, Mitch knows how to garner gossip-paper ink. Of course,

  • LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Can a teen idol get a break from the paparazzi when he visits holy sites?

    Evidently not, as Justin Bieber is finding out on his visit to Israel, where he is scheduled to play a concert in Tel Aviv on Thursday.

    The Canadian pop star sent out a series of angry Twitter messages on Tuesday, complaining that aggressive photographers had forced him to spend the rest of his trip holed up in his hotel room.

    "You would think paparazzi would have some respect in holy places," wrote 17 year-old Bieber, who is a practicing Christian. "All I wanted was the chance to walk where jesus did here in isreal (sic)."

    "They should be ashamed of themselves. Take pictures of me eating but not in a place of prayer, ridiculous ... People wait their whole lives for opportunities like this, why would they want to take that experience away from someone ... Staying in the hotel for the rest of the week u happy?"

    According to the London-based Jewish Chronicle, Bieber was scheduled to meet
