More Than 10,000 Feared Dead In Philippines

One of the worst storms ever recorded hit the Philippines on Friday (November 8). As many as 10, 000 are believed to be dead with more expected once emergency crews are able to reach areas cut off by flooding and landslides. Corpses were seen hanging from tree branches and scattered among sidewalks. Haiyan hit the eastern seaboard of the Philippine archipelago and quickly spread across its central islands before exiting into the South China Sea, packing winds of 147 miles per hour that gusted up to 170 mph.

The storm also caused sea waters to rise 20 feet. “All systems, all vestiges of modern living—communications, power, water—all are down,” Interior Secretary Mar Roxas said after visiting Tacloban on Saturday. “There is no way to communicate with the people.”

Daft Punk Wins Innovator Of The Year Award

The French duo Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, better known as Daft Punk, have had a crazy year with the release of their fourth studio album Random Access Memories and one of the biggest tracks of the year ‘Get Lucky’. So it’s no wonder they were named The Wall Street Journal Magazine’s Innovator of the Year.

The mysterious pair were shot by photographer to the stars Terry Richardson with supermodel Gisele Bundchen for their WSJ. Magazine feature rocking their signature helmets. When creating the biggest album of their twenty year career, Random Access Memories, they set out to create music that was timeless, similar to the mammoth records of the 1970/80s that still live on today. Their creative process had no limits in regards to budget and deadlines and despite this album straying from their trademark sound, the risk definitely paid off. Hits like ‘Get Lucky’, with its endless remixes are definitely not going anywhere anytime soon.

Check out the video for Daft Punk's monster hit 'Get Lucky' featuring Pharrell Williams below.

Beyoncé 'Wouldn't Audition' For Disney Movie Role

No one knows the definition of a female hustler better than Beyoncé but the "Diva" singer may have exercised her right to stunt while trying to snag a part in a Walt Disney film.

Jen Rudin, who has had face-time with everyone in Hollywood from William Shatner to Rosie O'Donnell, penned the book Confessions of a Casting Director, revealing that while working on The Princess and the Frog, Bey allegedly skipped step one.

“Beyoncé expected an offer, but wouldn’t audition and so she didn’t get one,” Rudin says of the leading lady Tiana. “Tyra Banks, Jennifer Hudson wanted it. Alicia Keys auditioned three times . . . They had to sing, so we made it clear they needed sheet music. Tyra came in with a CD, but it didn’t matter because she was so pretty and nice. It went to Anika Noni Rose, who was the most qualified.”

Bey didn't take the loss lying down. After being rejected the princess role, she ended up voicing Queen Tara in the 3D animated flick Epic...naturally.

R&B hitmaker Teddy Riley is coming for Lady Gaga after allegations that she never paid him for his contributions on "Teeth," a record from her chart-topping album The Fame Monster.

The former member of singing groups Blackstreet and Guy claims he was promised 25% of the writing fees but got zilch since the LP's release in 2009.

Riley is suing the Mother Monster for $500,000 plus punitive damages, according to TMZ.

The Fame Monster also features such Gaga hits as "Bad Romance," "Alejandro" and "Telephone" featuring Beyoncé. The record has sold 1.56 million copies in the U.S. alone.

Kendrick Lamar Brings Out Lil Kim In Salute To King Of New York

Beyonce may have laid out the guidelines for putting a ring on it in her 2009 smash "Single Ladies" but NBA star Dwyane Wade needed no help giving his special woman Gabrielle Union her own Miami Heat championship ring.

According to Page Six, the actress, who recently turned 41, was celebrating her born day at the Hyde Lounge at American Airlines Arena after the Heat's season opener earlier this week.

D-Wade had received his team's championship ring earlier that day and though he had to fly to Philadelphia Wednesday night for the Heat's game against the 76ers, he made a cameo at Hyde to gift Gabby with her sparkly new piece.

“Wade walked in with a gift-wrapped box, opened it with her and put it on her finger,” a source said. “He was there for under five minutes.”

Union continued the night with her girlfriends for a surprise dinner at Catch Miami, sipping on Moët champagne and rocking out to music. Now that's what you call winning.

New Music: Lady Gaga - 'Dope'

One of the best parts of a Lady Gaga show is when she takes a breather from her theatrics to sit and sing at the piano. Her ballads are plentiful -- "Speechless," "Brown Eyes" and sometimes an unplugged version of "You And I" among them. Mother Monster adds another ballad to the list with her latest ARTPOP single "Dope," where she purges her emotions on the keys.

"Dope" first revealed itself as a tribute to Gaga's "little monsters" under the guise "I Wanna Be with You," which she wrote at the end of her Monster Ball tour. Gaga tweaked the arrangement and words, adding a little electro nuances to the song that born "Dope."

"My heart would break without you/ Might not awake without you," Gaga sings on "Dope." ARTPOP is out Nov. 11.

Justin Bieber Caught Leaving Brazilian Brothel With Two Women

Justin Bieber was photographed leaving a Brazilian brothel, reports Page Six.

The maturing teen heartthrob reportedly spent more than three hours inside the Centauros in Rio de Janeiro "before leaving with two women," according to the NYC tabloid. Cameras captured Bieber and his Selena Gomez angel tattoo exciting the XXX spot with a bed sheet (we hope it was clean) over him. He was shuffled into one car, while two other women from the establishment were escorted into another vehicle that went back to his hotel, Copacabana Palace. While there is no way to confirm whether or not these reports are bogus, the pictures speak for themselves.

Bieber, who split from longtime girlfriend Selena Gomez this summer, is touring the Southern Hemisphere through the end of the year in the lead up to his new music documentary, Believe 3D, out Christmas Day. His travels haven't come without controversial headlines. The Brazilian brothel photos emerge days after a story of Bieber escapading with a Panamanian prostitute was printed in Panamanian newspaper Cronicas. He also tagged up a wall in Colombia this week and was involved in a scuffle at a South Korean nightclub.
