Perhaps Michael Buble's
Saturday Night Live appearance, which found him taking part in
mock duets with Justin Bieber, Ke$ha and Lady Gaga, gave the Canadian singer's album
Christmas an added last-minute boost (
not that it needed it) to maintain the #1 position on
Billboard's Top 200 for a fourth week? Regardless, with no real competition in the way of big releases last week, the holiday LP sold another 448,000 copies — enough to keep it from budging on the publication's album chart dated December 31, 2011.

With David Guetta and Usher's collaboration
“Without You” currently lodged at #4 on the Hot 100 — the highest position yet for any Guetta single in the US — the pair did double duty by hitting up the
Jimmy Kimmel Live stage following their appearance on
The Ellen DeGeneres Show. David's DJ dais glowed yellow and blue while Usher and his backup dancers busted their moves during the uplifting dance tune. Can they get "Without You" all the way to #1? Watch below and see if you're motivated to shell out $1.29 for the cause.

Usher is one of many major artists who teamed up with David Guetta on his club-friendly LP
Nothing But The Beat, and their single
"Without You" has been faring quite well (currently #1 on the Pop charts). To push the single further, the duo teamed up on
The Ellen DeGeneres Show to perform the rising hit in a rare appearance by a single's DJ along with the vocalist. (Then again, Guetta is one of very few producers becoming a household name.) Check it out below.

When Justin Bieber last
appeared on the Today Show earlier this month, he was left to answer Matt Lauer's questions about the paternity suit
filed against him by Mariah Yeater. But with all that mess behind him —
well, possibly — the 17-year-old was able to return to the morning program and simply
sing. Bieb brought out Usher for their holiday duet
"The Christmas Song" before launching into
"Never Say Never" and
"Mistletoe". Watch below.

Before they could take the stage at the 12th Annual Latin Grammys, our beloved pop stars had to first walk — or should we say strut down — the red carpet. Last night, the stylish Demi Lovato turned heads with her gorgeous magenta gown (complete with plunging neckline) and new auburn locks, while recent Hollywood Walk Of Fame honoree Shakira looked radiant in her sparkling gold ensemble. Usher, not to be outdone, looked incredibly smooth in his leather jacket and shades. Check out the highlights from the Mandalay Bay Resort in Vegas, baby. More »

It was Shakira's big night at the Latin Grammys, which were held at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay on Thursday. Not only was the Colombian beauty named Person Of The Year, she also took to the stage a whopping three times, for performances of her songs
"Loca", "Devocion" and "Antes De Las Seis". Meanwhile, Puerto Rican duo Calle 13 walked away with nine wins (including Record Of The Year), while other performers included Demi Lovato, Usher, Romeo Santos, Pitbull and Marc Anthony. Watch below.

Last weekend, Usher parked in a handicapped spot while attending a Halloween parade in Atlanta. Instead of receiving a ticket, the R&B star quickly inspired the wrath of one particular screaming woman who was out for blood. What makes this incident spectacular, though, is that a man dressed as Fat Elvis and another dressed as a goth fairy attempted to shield Usher from this raging woman's fury. This is only
slightly less embarrassing than
splitting your pants in front of a former President. Watch below!
