This is pretty cool.

On Saturday, in between performances of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Nick Jonas took to the streets of New York City, plopped down on a stool and simply starting playing some acoustic hits for a handful of fans.

He started with his own single, "Lovebug," but then made the teenage girls around him truly scream out in fervor when he broke out a version of One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful." It's safe to say Nick had some help, as you can see here:

Whose version of this song do you like best?

Casper Smart will be accompanying Jennifer Lopez on tour this summer. But you won't need to purchase a ticket in order to see this dancer in action.

E! News has confirmed that Oxygen has purchased a reality show from J. Lo that centers around her dancing tour troupe, and will be led by the singer's 25-year old boy toy.

As the group's supervising choreographer of the group, Smart will be highlighted on the series, but he won't be the only mover, shaker and grinder to appear on the show. Look for it to take viewers behind the scenes of Lopez's tour.

It's unknown if Jennifer herself will make any appearances, but the program will premiere in early 2013. Think you'll tune in?

New American Idol champion Phillip Phillips should take note. He can only hope and pray to have half the career that has blessed original winner Kelly Clarkson.

The talented crooner appeared this week on the Dancing with the Stars finale and sang a medley of "Dark Side" and "Stronger," and now she's unveiled the official music video for the first track.

“Don’t run away, don’t run away, just tell me that you will stay, promise me you will stay,” Clarkson sings below. See for yourself now:

It's not quite a Chris Brown and Chrissy Teigen-level feud, but Pauly D and Deadmau5 have been engaged in a bit of a Twitter beef of their own this week.

$h!t got so real after Deadmau5 said earlier this week that the Jersey Shore star was a hack and basically has zero talent when it comes to DJing.

Pauly D's response? The Tweet and photo below:

No word on whether Deadmau5, who also got into it with Madonna recently, truly thinks that 4x4=12, or if Neil Diamond is planning a Twitter offensive of his own after being inadvertently dragged into this war of words.

In any case, the beat goes on. And it sounds like nnts nnts nnts nnts ....

Ray J is out of the hospital and expected to make a full recovery, following a scare this weekend when the singer thought he had suffered a fatal blood clot.

And fans of the former Kim Kardashian sex tape partner reportedly have Sophie Monk to thank.

According to TMZ sources, the model was staying in a different hotel room from Ray J on Sunday night, but popped in to check on her Prince Reigns campaign mate (we wonder why?!?) and found him on the floor, unresponsive.

Monk proceeded to alert hotel management, who 911. An ambulance then transported Ray J to the hospital and, fortunately for all involved, nothing especially worrisome was discovered.

Jenny McCarthy on Playboy Return: Let’s Hear it For MILFs!

If anybody wants to know why Jenny McCarthy is posing for Playboy at the age of 39, nearly two decades after she first did, her response is twofold, and simple:

1. To promote autism research, and 2. Why not?

TV's Love in the Wild host took to Twitter this week and said, "Why should only 20 yr olds be considered sexy?" she writes. "Let's (hear) it for the MILFs."

Somehow we imagine guys can buy into that.

In a poll, fans have responded by a two-to-one margin that McCarthy has only gotten better with age from when she first appeared in Playboy in 1993.

Interestingly, two years ago, McCarthy told Playboy in an interview (above) that she could be persuaded to pose again, but the mag couldn't afford it.

Maybe the price went down? Or Hef dug deeper?

Who knows. Also interestingly, Jenny said at age 37 that wasn't sure if she'd still "have it" in a few years. Guess it's safe to say she still does.

The Lohan siblings are just not getting it done.

Lindsay's problems have been exhaustively documented. Now her little sis Ali, who signed a contract with Next Model management last year, is looking skinnier than ever, with experts estimating she weighs less than 100 lbs.

There are rumors she's on a "starvation diet."

In recent pictures, the youngster's breastbones are prominently sticking out, and her shoulder blades are even protruding from her back.

Her cheeks have become sunken and there are dark circles underneath her eyes. Seriously, our gallery of Ali Lohan pictures is kind of sad.

Friends close to Lohan are starting to get worried about the drastic weight loss, and about Ali’s health, considering her tender age of 18.

“She just keeps getting smaller and smaller,” one friend told Fox411. “At what point will her parents tell her that enough is enough?”

Um, have you met Dina and MiLo?

“She isn’t doing it because it is a psychological issue. She is doing it because she wants to be a model,” her father, Michael Lohan, said.

“If I thought it was an issue, I would definitely say something. Ali and Lindsay live together ... Lindsay would say something (Read more...)

Camille Grammer "Couldn’t Let Go Of" The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Yes, it's true: Camille Grammer will be appearing again on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Initial reports claimed Grammer was sick of exposing her personal life and had departed the series that made her famous, but she confirmed to E! this week in Los Angeles that she will, indeed, be "part of production" again.

"I guess it was something I couldn't let go of," Grammer sadly said. "I really enjoy being with the women and working with the producers. They're like my extended dysfunctional family."

As for her actual family? Including the children who get to watch their mother make a fool of herself and drag her ongoing problems into the spotlight? Whatever!

While Bravo is yet to announce a season three premiere dates for this Housewives franchise, Camille is already in full promotional mode.

"There's definitely drama," she says. "The girls are bringing it."

Colin Powell Endorses Gay Marriage (But Not Obama)

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell told CNN Wednesday that he had "no problem" with gay marriage, but after a week of talk show appearances he's made it clear he's still not ready to endorse its latest champion, Barack Obama.

The Republican famously, and somewhat surprisingly, backed him in 2008.

Supporting gay marriage is also a change for Powell, who had officially been opposed to it for years. But he made it clear while, promoting his new book, It Worked For Me, that he's supportive of the right of same-sex couples to marry.

Powell, Obama

Obama's historic backing of same-sex marriage prompted Newsweek to dub him the first gay president, and has stirred both praise and criticism nationally.

His lack of endorsement of Obama is not necessarily a boon to his likely GOP opponent, however. Powell has yet to throw his support to Mitt Romney either.

The Los Angeles Times said Powell may still be "putting his thumb on the scale in the president's favor" as he criticized Romney's foreign policy blunders.
