Tired of all your old playthings? Here’s something new: UK starlet-on-the-rise Jessie J is a babe in Toyland in her “Price Tag” video, featuring B.o.B.. The bright, colorful, light-hearted vid features the sometime subway performer perched atop a music box, strung up as a marionette, and crammed into a dollhouse, amongst other childish delights, as she sings against the money-grubbing nature of the music industry. Watch here — it won’t cost you a penny!
“We don’t need your money / We just wanna make the world dance / Forget about the price tag,” the Brit ingenue sings on the infectious tune, dancing along under a money tree. She’s just the right mix of sultry and playful, flashing a smile every once in awhile to let us know she isn’t taking herself too seriously. B.o.B. plays along nicely with the anti-material girl in his rap interlude, appearing in a line of toy soldiers. (Credit director Emil Nava for matching Jessie’s antic spirit with those dreamy visuals).
“Price Tag” is the first U.S. single from Jessie J’s debut album Who You Are, due this spring. (Despite the lyrics from “Price Tag,” we assume they will, in fact, be charging for it.)

Khloe Kardashain: Weight is Her 'Biggest Lifetime Struggle'
Khloe Kardashian is no stranger to harsh stories surrounding her curvy shape and fluctuating weight, but this time she's speaking out. She took to her personal blog to confront rumors surrounding her weight and to make a no-holds-barred confession on the issue that has followed her all her life.
"I think my weight is my biggest lifetime struggle," she said, answering her fans' questions about her weight directly, according to RadarOnline.
"My weight is always going up and down, I'm always fighting that and I feel that no matter what I do, I never look good enough to everybody else," she continued. "That's been a struggle that I think I've gotten a hold of -- not caring about what other people think."
And now the 'Keeping Up with Kardashians' star is comfortable in her own skin, though the harsh criticism does take its toll.
"Now I just have my body to how I like it," she said. "But as much as I say that, still other people's words does come and eventually hit you hard."
Kardashian, who is married to LA Lakers player Lamar Odom, has recently been dodging pregnancy rumors as she and her husband start shooting their new reality show, 'Khloe & Lamar.'

Heidi Klum Doesn't Use 'Potty Words' in Front of Her Kids
Heidi Klum's latest project 'Seriously Funny Kids' is a little like Billy Cosby's 'Kids Say the Darndest Things.' The supermodel turned super-mom's half-hour unscripted series premieres next month and will feature Klum interacting with children and bringing out the hilarious and insightful things they say.
But Klum tells PEOPLE when it comes to her own four kids, she and husband Seal don't think swearing is any laughing matter.
"When we're around the children, we really make a point in our family not to curse or say potty words," she says. "My husband and I try out best to make sure our kids are proper and have good manners."
Klum, who also co-hosts 'Project Runway' with her "other husband" Tim Gunn, admits she still swears from time to time in front of her friends. "I'm not saying I'm a saint by any means," she says. "When I'm with grown-ups and we're out, I curse sometimes and we say some inappropriate things. But when we're at home, (Seal) and I try our best to make sure our children are proper and have good manners."
Klum tries especially hard to steer her oldest daughter Leni, 6, from saying things she shouldn't be saying at her age.
"Leni will sometimes come home and say, 'What the...'" Klum explains. "And I say, 'Leni, 'What the...' isn't a sentence. It's inappropriate and you can't say it."

Elizabeth Olsen Makes Her Sundance Debut
When one mentions an "Olsen," people immediately assume it's either Mary-Kate or Ashley. But it's the famous twins' younger sister, Elizabeth Olsen, who's making headlines now.
Olsen, 21, is currently taking time off from her studies at NYU, and is promoting not one, but two films at the Sundance Film Festival, according to the Huffington Post.
She gets her first glimpse of the spotlight in 'Martha Marcy May Marlene,' where she plays a young woman trying to reclaim her identity after escaping a cult. And Olsen, who, according to the Internet Movie Database, hasn't had a film role since 'The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley,' understands the importance of her new role.
"It's hard for independent films when they want to get money," Olsen told the Huffington Post. "And to have a lead be an unknown -- it's kind of a risk for people to take. And so the fact that they took that risk was like made my year, my life ... It was really exciting."
Her other film, 'Silent House,' is a unique one, especially for someone with a theater background. It's one continous shot following Olsen's character as she begins to suspect her house is haunted.
"When I was auditioning, I was like, 'Just so you know I'm used to the medium of theater, so like I can stand on my feet for this long,'" she said.
Olsen may come from a theater background, but she's no stranger to movie sets -- or paparazzi. The lenses, however, are usually focused on her 24-year-old sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley, who have been on camera since they were infants on 'Full House.'
"I just think it's crazy in general, but I want to be an actor –- and I have since I was a little girl –- and if that happens, then you figure out how to deal with it where it doesn't completely infringe upon your life," Olsen said. "I haven't experienced that personally yet. Hopefully I don't have to but I think it's a really weird part of this business."

Portia de Rossi Claims Ex Ran Off With Her Brother's Wife
Portia de Rossi says that her ex husband, documentary filmmaker Mel Metcalfe, left her, broke up her brother's marriage and ran off with his wife. The actress gives the details in her new memoir, 'Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain.'
De Rossi was married to Metcalf between 1996 and 1999, and she reveals in the book how she hit rock bottom when her husband left her and got together with her elder brother Michael Rogers' wife, Renee Kappos.
The Daily Mail reports de Rossi saying in the book, "When my husband left me, my brother moved into my place ... My husband ran off with his wife, so we kept each other company and we liked to go out for margaritas and Mexican food to commiserate."
De Rossi also says the signs were there of the growing relationship between Metcalf and Kappos.
"The fact that Renee would wear skimpy, lacy underwear clearly visible underneath her oversized, gaping overalls should have indicated to my brother and me that a personal partnership was also forming."
She says the breakup, followed by the betrayal of their respective spouses, left both the siblings shocked. De Rossi says, "But when Mel left me and Renee suddenly sabotaged her marriage to my brother to be with Mel, my brother and I were left idiotically scratching our heads in disbelief."
De Rossi goes on to note that Metcalf and Kappos later got married, saying, "He had married his longtime girlfriend, Renee, just before leaving Australia and the two newlyweds moved into an apartment in the same Melrose Place-style complex that was home to me and Mel."
RadarOnline reports that regardless of the family affair, de Rossi insists there is no bad blood with Metcalf.
The actress says Metcalf helped her find her true sexual orientation. "By the end of our first year together, despite my desire to be attracted to him, my latent fear of my real sexuality was simmering and about to boil," she says. "I was almost positive I was gay. So I married him."
De Rossi, 37, came out as lesbian in 2005, married talk show host Ellen DeGeneres in 2008 and officially took wife DeGeneres' last name in 2010. She is now legally known as Portia Lee James DeGeneres.

Michael Lohan: Lindsay Passed All of Her Drug Tests
Troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan has passed all of her drug tests since leaving the Betty Ford Center, her father Michael Lohan told RadarOnline.
"Lindsay is doing four or five tests a week, and she has passed all of them with flying colors," he said regarding the random drug tests his daughter must take since leaving rehab.
After completing rehab earlier this month, Lohan has been laying low and keeping away from the people and places that led her down a troubled path last year.
"She is serious about staying healthy and is avoiding all the old things she used to do," her father said. "She's doing really great right now."
Though she's been staying out of trouble, trouble seems to find her. After a former staff member at the Betty Ford Center accused Lohan of attacking her, and an official police report was delivered to a judge, it seemed like Lohan could face more jail time.
"Judge Fox read the report and put it back in Lohan's file," a source close to the situation told RadarOnline. "Right now, based on what he has read, he won't be taking any action against Lindsay."

Alec Baldwin: Rooney Mara Is Going To Be ‘The Biggest Movie Star Of Her Generation’
She may not have had a leading role in “The Social Network,” but Alec Baldwin thinks Rooney Mara has an astronomical career ahead of her.
“This girl’s going to be the biggest movie star of her generation,” Alec Baldwin told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush of the actress, and football dynasty daughter (she has ties to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Rooney family, as well as the New York Giants on the Mara side), who is currently filming her starring role as Lisbeth Salander in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.”
Alec hit the red carpet at the Golden Globes on Sunday, and while he was nominated for his own work – on “30 Rock” (a category which Jim Parsons of “The Big Bang Theory” eventually won), the celebrated actor said his interest in the ceremony was to praise some of his fellow celebs.
“I got this award three times in the last four years or something like that and they’ve always been very nice to me, but the excitement for me, as I’m sure it is for you, is to see films this year that you really dug and you get to see somebody. Like, I want to go tell Michelle Williams how much I loved her in ‘Blue Valentine,’” Alec said.
“I want to tell Christian Bale how great he was in ‘The Fighter.’ I want to tell Ben Affleck how great he was in ‘The Town,’” Alec continued. “I saw a bunch of films this year where I thought, ‘Man, people really, really have done great work.”
In related Alec news, a few weeks ago, Patti Stanger of Bravo’s “The Millionaire Matchmaker” came on Access Hollywood Live, and at the time, she told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover that she thinks Alec would be perfect with Denise Richards.
“Why did she say that?” Alec asked Billyt.
“She said he needs a woman that can test him,” Billy replied.
Alec actually seemed intrigued by the idea.
“I think Denise Richards is absolutely adorable and she’s certainly a gorgeous woman and I had a psychic once tell me I’m going to marry a woman whose name started with the letter ‘R,’” Alec revealed.

Did Britney Spears Copy Her New Single?
As Britney Spears enjoys her No. 1 iTunes spot with her new single, 'Hold It Against Me,' one music group is crying foul, saying she ripped off the title hit song.
Country group The Bellamy Brothers released a hit song called "If I Said You Have a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me" and singer David Bellamy is speaking out against Spears' new song, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Spear's latest hit has a chorus containing the line, "If I said I want your body now, would you hold it against me?'
"It's not every day you get in the middle of a Britney Spears brawl," Bellamy told the magazine.
The country crooner, who penned the group's 1979 hit, said his son first clued him in to Spears' single. While no legal action has been taken regarding the song's crossover title, Bellamy is looking into the situation.
"I just have to see what the intent was," he said. "I just kind of found it unoriginal, and I guess it makes us realize how old we are, because they're recycling our titles already."
Bellamy, who has not heard from Spears' camp regarding the songs' similarities, understands that the "beautiful body" line is often used, but not always so overtly as with this latest hit single.
"This particular title is kinda hard to disguise, because the title is the song," Bellamy said about Spears' song. "It's not like saying, 'I love you, baby'... I think there's just more original stuff out there to do than just rehashing old titles."
The Bellamy Brothers would know. The country band hits the road this year on a 180-show tour as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of their hit album, 'Let Your Love Flow.'
Spears' song, produced by Max Martin and Dr. Luke, hit the Internet on Monday and quickly shot up to the No. 1 spot on iTunes. Her new album is rumored to be released on March 15.
