A new survey on hand washing has revealed that 70 percent of Americans always wash their hands after using a public restroom, while 29 percent sometimes skip that ever-important, germ-killing step. And yes, 1 percent confessed to never washing their hands after using a public bathroom.

The Haus of Gaga is constantly coming up with new items for Lady Gaga to wear or to incorporate into her shows. Their designs are art and theater. Their latest creation? A light up, fiber optic wig comprised of human hair. It’s an ‘ARTPOP’ invention and it looks like it glows in the dark.

Rihanna will appear at the VMAs on Thursday, Sept. 6, so what better way to hype up her appearance and her almost-a-year-old ‘Talk That Talk’ album than by dropping the remix of the overly sexed up song ‘Cockiness (Love It)?’ The remix features a few verses courtesy of Harlem rapper ASAP Rocky, last seen posing as JFK to Lana Del Rey‘s Jackie O in her ‘National Anthem’ video.

In a new profile in Rolling Stone, pink-loving femcee Nicki Minaj opens up about her painful past, which includes a violent and drug-addicted father. But she also retracts a claim she made early in her career, which was that she was bisexual. Minaj now claims she said she was into girls not to attract a female lover, but to attract media attention and to grab headlines early on. While she finds wo

There can only be ONE One Direction! Over the summer, a battle was enacted between the U.K. One Direction and the U.S. One Direction over rights to the name. We’re happy to report that the U.K. version has won and gets to keep their name.

America’s sweetheart Taylor Swift is going to need to put an addition onto her house in order to store her awards. She’s just 22, but is racking up more trophies and professional accolades than many artists do in a lifetime-long career. Her next honor, after attending and performing at this Thursday’s (Sept. 6) VMAs, will be the receipt of the first-ever Generation Award. Swift will receive the aw

Lady Gaga isn’t the only fashion conscious pop star to draw the ire of PETA, the animal rights organization. Rihanna is also being targeted (again), with the two starlets being dubbed “freaks” for their fashion choices deemed cruel to animals.

John Mayer‘s got a lot going on right now. The singer had surgery last week and is now musically silenced for the next six months. He is not able to sing while he recovers from surgery to remove a granuloma from his vocal cords. He was, however, spotted with reported ex Katy Perry over the weekend, as well. Never a dull moment on Planet Mayer.

Taylor Swift‘s expressive face is the biggest star of her video for her No. 1, record-breaking single ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.’

Harry Styles, probably the most popular member of One Direction, judging from the fact that he has the most Twitter followers of the quintet, inadvertently revealed a new tattoo during the band’s video shoot for the new single ‘Live While We’re Young.’

Working out is usually a singular activity, unless, of course, you need a spotter when handling really heavy weights. Former NASCAR driver Aaron Fike, 29, chooses to exercise in the company of a baby, who just so happens to be his seven-month-old daughter, Lily. Odd? Yes. Hunky? Incredibly.

John Mayer once referred to his ex Taylor Swift writing about their relationship and their split in a song as “cheap songwriting” but we’re going to call his method of dumping Katy Perry (after a very short and public romance) a cheap move. Mayer reportedly broke up with the ‘Wide Awake’ singer via email.
