Apparently, Ms. Swift isn’t a “Belieber.” Taylor Swift and BFF4L Selena Gomez were walking backstage at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards when Gomez stopped to smooch an anxious Justin Bieber. Swift’s reaction? “BLEH!” pretty much sums it up. Check out the clip above.

This Billboard Music Awards performance was memorable for all the wrong reasons. Singer, Miguel, was really feeling his performance of “Adorn.” So much in fact, that the musical spirit moved him to try to jump over the audience onto another part of the stage. Unfortunately, the R&B crooner ended up landing on two women (close-lining one of them with his leg). The performance became a viral sensation setting off meme makers and vine users. Take a look above.

Check out all these insanely, awesome shows!

A big personal revelation from a celebrity who usually keeps quiet about her personal life.

In today’s New York Times, actress Angelina Jolie wrote an Op-Ed called “My Medical Choice” detailing her decision to undergo a double mastectomy.

In it, Jolie talks about her mother’s death at age 56 due to breast cancer. Jolie says she carries the BRCA1 gene which increased her risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

She writes, “My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer.”

Jolie says she started the surgical process back in February and it took several months to complete. After undergoing the double mastectomy, she chose to have reconstructive surgery in part due to her children.

She writes in the New York Times, “It is reassuring that they see nothing that makes them uncomfortable. They can see my small scars and that’s it. Everything else is just Mommy, the same as she always was. And they know that I love them and will do anything to be with them as long as I can. On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.”

Jolie says she is coming forward in hopes that it brings awareness to this issue. The test for the breast cancer gene can cost thousands of dollars.

“I choose not to keep my story private because there are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer. It is my hope that they, too, will be able to get gene tested, and that if they have a high risk they, too, will know that they have strong options,” says Jolie.
