Pink: 'I've Been Really Mean'

Pink was forced to re-evaluate the way she treated her husband Carey Hart following one particularly nasty domestic dispute - after the motocross star confessed he was "hurt" by the way she spoke to him.

The singer married Hart in 2006 but the relationship soon ran into problems and they separated just two years later. The couple reconciled last year, but the singer continued to be "mean" to her partner - until Hart made his feelings clear.

She tells Cosmopolitan magazine, "I'm so dramatic... and in the past, I've been really mean. Carey sat me down one day when we were fighting and said, 'Baby, when you call me names, it hurts my feelings. Please try to stop.'"

"And I was like 'Wow, thank you for telling me how you feel.' Now I fight fair."

Jodie Sweetin To Wed Baby Daddy?

Pregnant actress Jodie Sweetin is planning to wed her DJ beau before the couple welcomes its first child together later this year, according to a tabloid report.

The former Full House star announced she was expecting her second baby with boyfriend Morty Coyle last week. Now, Sweetin is reportedly eager to exchange vows with Coyle, just days after finalizing her divorce from second husband Cody Herpin.

A source tells the National Enquirer, "The baby is due by the end of the year, and Jodie definitely wants to be settled into married life by then... Jodie thinks everything is going to work out just fine. She's going to be a bride again and a new mom. She thinks her new life is fantastic."

Sweetin, 28, filed for legal separation from Herpin in November 2008, seven months after she gave birth to their baby daughter Zoie.

The former child star, who was previously also wed to police officer Shaun Holguin, currently shares joint custody of the little girl with Herpin.

'Iron Man 2' Pulls In $7.5 Million At Midnight Screenings

"Iron Man 2" has landed on U.S. soil, and it's already doing big business. The sequel to 2008's second-highest-grossing film reeled in $7.5 million during its midnight screenings early on Friday (May 7), according to multiple reports.

The Robert Downey Jr.-starring comic book adaptation opened at midnight on 2,500 screens and then expanded to a record-setting 4,380 screens for the bulk of the weekend. Those are impressive midnight numbers, but they're nothing compared to the midnight performance of "New Moon" when it opened last November. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's vampire flick grossed a whopping $26.3 million on 3,500 screens.

Nonetheless, "Iron Man 2" is tracking in the neighborhood of $140 million to $160 million for its opening weekend, giving it the chance to vanquish "The Dark Knight" ($158 million) for the biggest opening ever. And "Iron Man" has already grossed over $130 million internationally. What's more, MovieTickets.com reports that 90 percent of all online ticket sales have been for "Iron Man" showings, including 842 sellouts as of Friday morning. Clearly, fans are pumped for more Tony Stark.

"I thought it a worthy sequel," said MTV News reader Chuck. "The other characters were more developed without killing the popcorn fun of this movie. It is worth going to the theater to see on a big screen. I will go again soon and will add to my Blu-ray collection when it hits stores."

Reader Jonathan wrote: "I thought it was pretty good. Better than the first? I'd say close. The drone thing didn't appeal to me though. And as for Whiplash, I thought he was pretty badass. And of course it was CGI-heavy. How could you possibly expect to make a movie like this without the CGI being abundant? I would definitely see it again."

Tori Spelling, Dean McDermott to renew vows

Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott are renewing their vows, a rep for the couple confirms exclusively to UsMagazine.com.

The two — who have two children, Liam, 3, and Stella (who turns 2 next month) — celebrate their four-year anniversary Friday.

Spelling, 36, and McDermott, 43, have battled split rumors this year as footage from the fifth season of their hit Oxygen show “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood” shows them in heated spats.

On one episode, she yells at him, "It's like you got more and more unhappy and angry. I just want the old Dean back. I really do. I miss you so much." During another fight, he even drops the F-bomb because she feels he is not being ambitious enough about his career.

Just because they fight doesn't mean they're heading to divorce court, she has said.

"Everyone has marital problems," Spelling said on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” last month. "You know, you fight with your partner."

She also squashed split rumors on the TODAY show: "We have our fights. We have our ups and downs. It's a real relationship. Some issues have come up this season, and the cameras were there to catch it. And I'm happy to put that out there to my fans, because we're a normal, relatable couple. We're not perfect, and things happen."

Michaels to make most of new chance at life

Rock singer and reality TV star Bret Michaels says he has been given a second chance at life after surviving a near fatal brain hemorrhage, and hopes to "rock the world" instead of worrying it might happen again.

The frontman for the rock band Poison told People magazine in an interview that the hemorrhage two weeks ago had left him with some short-term memory loss, but he felt lucky to be alive.

Michaels, 47, who is also currently starring in "The Celebrity Apprentice" on NBC television, was released from a Phoenix hospital at the weekend and is expected to make a full recovery, his doctor said earlier this week.

"As painful as this experience has been, I was given a second chance, right? I don't want to sit around every night worrying this is going to happen again," Michaels told People in an interview released on Thursday.

"What I want to do is make a positive bucket list and say 'I'm just gonna go for it.'...My first goal is to get back (to) 100 percent. I want to continue to rock the world, and I want to continue to love my family and be a good father," he told the magazine. Marriage to Kristi Gibson, the mother of his two daughters, is also a possibility, he said.

The People magazine interview hits newsstands on Friday.

Michaels said he felt God had intervened to save him because he had been at home recovering from an emergency appendectomy, rather than touring with his band when the hemorrhage hit him "like a handgun".

The rocker found fame with the glam-metal band Poison and hangs onto that fame as a reality TV star.

"It just wasn't my time yet. I really believe that," he said. "I could've been on my tour bus at a truck stop somewhere, nowhere near a medical center.

"Of all the ways that I thought I could go out, that wasn't one of them. Definitely not a rock star way to go out," said Michaels, who is also diabetic.

Michaels, who starred in the reality dating show "Rock of Love", is still in the running to win "The Celebrity Apprentice." Filming ended before his medical problems and the show is nearing its broadcast finale later this month.

Swift donates $500,000 to Nashville flood relief

Taylor Swift is donating $500,000 to flood relief in Nashville.

The announcement was made on Thursday night's "Flood Relief with Vince Gill and Friends," a telethon held on local station WSMV.

The money will go directly to various flood relief organizations in the city rocked by deadly storms and flooding that killed 30 in three states, including 20 in Tennessee. The gift was announced by the show's host after Swift finished an interview from her tour stop in Des Moines, Iowa. Swift moved to Nashville when she was 14.


"Being at home during the storm, I honestly could not believe what was happening to the city and the people I love so dearly," Swift told The Associated Press in an e-mail. "Nashville is my home, and the reason why I get to do what I love. I have always been proud to be a Nashvillian, but especially now, seeing the love that runs through this city when there are people in crisis."

Cleanup and repair is expected to cost more than $1 billion. Thousands of homes were damaged, along with some of Music City's most important landmarks. Pleas to donate to relief organizations started early, and Nashville's musical talent — from local bands and clubs to the biggest stars — are giving their time and money to the effort.

Gill volunteered to host the WSMV telethon and interviewed and played with several of country music's top stars. Keith Urban played the show with a borrowed guitar after his gear was destroyed by the flood.

Country music cable network GAC announced Thursday it will air a telethon on May 16 that will include Brad Paisley, Lady Antebellum, Dierks Bentley, Rodney Atkins and other stars live from the Ryman Auditorium.

Queen Latifah Introduces 'Single Ladies' The TV Series


Queen Latifah has taken inspiration from Beyonce for a new TV comedy series about a group of girlfriends who are unlucky in love - she's named it after the star's mega-hit Single Ladies.

The rapper/actress' new show, Single Ladies, revolves around the love lives of three women who will be played by Clueless star Stacey Dash, Lauren London and LisaRaye McCoy. And Dash is confident the program will be a hit.

She tells Vibe.com, "My character is very similar to my own life because I've never been single. Literally, since I've been 17 years old. She's never been married, the character that I'm playing, whereas I've been married three times, so that's the difference. It's a really good script."

Rehearsals and filming for the VH1 show begin in Atlanta, Georgia this week.
