Sunday night's Grammy awards

What the heck was Justin Bieber doing yesterday at a Victoria's Secret store? Could he have actually been picking up a Valentine's Day present for Selena Gomez—or possibly his BFF Chelsea Handler? PHOTOS: Check out Justin Bieber in Marc's twitpics gallery The 16-year-old popstar was spotted at the Victoria's Secret boutique in the Beverly Center mall in Los Angeles. A store employee tells us that Bieber was with his dad. It's a bit TMI, don't ya think? In some not TMI information, hitmaking producer and One Republic frontman Ryan Tedder tells me that he may be hitting the studio with the Biebster. "I'm recording a song with him this week," Tedder said. It's been three days since little-known jazz bassist/singer Esperanza Spalding upset Justin Bieber for the Best New Artist trophy at Sunday night's Grammy awards, commencing a YouTube/Twitter/blogosphere freakout the likes of which we have not seen since Miley last picked up a bong.

The big stories that did make the cut this week include casting news for Superman: The Man of Steel , The Dark Knight Rises and the 23rd James Bond movie, as well as movies based upon Stephen King's The Stand , Gregory McDonald's Fletch novels, the trippy 1970s kids show Lidsville and... With the exception of the Marvel Studios movies, the emerging trend in big superhero movies appears to be the casting of British actors. First, there was Christian Bale as Batman, along with the supporting cast in those movies that is largely international (Sir Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Cillian Murphy, Heath Ledger, Tom Hardy). Then, Sony cast American-British actor Andrew Garfield in the Spider-Man reboot. British actor Henry Cavill ( The Tudors , The Count of Monte Cristo ) will star in (the movie that might be called) Superman: The Man of Steel . Superhero fans who have a long memory may also recall that Henry Cavill's name was mentioned in years past during the ca

Torres And The Blues

Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Fernando Torres is in contention to play against Liverpool on Sunday, although the Italian has admitted he is still unsure whether the player will start the game. Torres enjoyed cult status during his time at Liverpool and his shock move to rivals Chelsea has added extra spice to what is already a grudge match. "It's my decision, I want to take the decision obviously, surely I will take the decision before 4pm on Sunday." "The club had a fantastic thought to buy Fernando and David Luiz,” he said. Torres has been the subject of much criticism this season over his performance levels but Ancelotti insists the striker is in great shape and has already impressed in his short time at the club. Fernando Torres has revealed his cold-hearted reasoning for leaving Liverpool after stating that he did not want to wait for the club's rebuilding process having decided to quit midway through the January transfer window.

Kacey Jordan is a 22-year-old porn star who was one of five women reportedly partyi

"Definitely The Mood Has Changed"

Speaking on the phone to FP's Joshua Keating, correspondent Maryam Ishani gave one of the more vivid accounts of Wednesday's bloodshed: Now, I'm basically stuck between what they've established as two cordons around Tahrir. One is established by pro-Mubarak demonstrators, whose job it is to keep people out of the square. That includes ambulances and anyone who's not on their side. You're trying to break Egypt." I went in to film them throwing stones and they knocked me back pretty hard, which is not the mood of the demonstrators inside the square. The second cordon is also pro-Mubarak demonstrators, who are just beating up the demonstrators inside Tahrir. They have swords -- I'm not exaggerating -- they have things that look like machetes with a 12-inch blade or longer, sticks, pipes, automatic weapons. It literally looks like their job is to just beat people up. Ishani adds: Those on the pro-Mubarak side are chanting Islamic slogans. Both side

Born Free Sheet Music   John Barry a five-time Academy Award-winning composer of movies such as "Born Free" and "Out of Africa" who earned a prominent spot in pop-culture history by writing the scores for 11 James Bond films, including "From Russia With Love" and "Goldfinger," has died. Barry died Sunday in New York, where he reportedly had lived for some time, his family said in a statement. It began with Barry's work on Monty Norman's theme for "Dr. No," the 1962 movie debut of author Ian Fleming's 007, starring Sean Connery. The movie was scored by Norman. I think James Bond would have been far less cool without John Barry holding his ha
