Kesha's struggle is on Adele's mind. At the Brit Awards in London Wednesday, the "Hello" singer concluded her acceptance speech for the female solo artist award by showing she has Kesha's back. "I'd also like to take this moment to publicly support Kesha," said Adele, 27, referring to the pop star's ongoing legal battle with producer Dr. Luke. On Friday, Kesha, 28, lost her bid for preliminary injunction that would allow her to record and release music without Dr. Luke, 42, whom she accuses of sexual, physical and verbal abuse. In the hours and days that have followed, numerous celebrities have spoken out about Kesha's plight.

Way to go, Rayanne! A.J. Langer, 41, is living out her own "Downton Abbey" fairy tale. The actress best known as Rayanne Graff on "My So-Called Life" is now the Countess of Devon and mistress of a 600-year-old, 4,000-acre British estate. We'd call that a so-called awesome life.
A.J. -- who also starred in "Baywatch," "The Wonder Years" and "Private Practice" -- met her husband, Charles Courtenay, in Las Vegas in 2002 and married him back in 2005. They are only in the news now because his father, the Earl of Devon, just passed away. That means Charles now has that title and A.J. (aka Allison Joy) is the Countess of Devon and their crib is Powderham Castle in Exeter, Devon, England. Not bad for a girl from Columbus, Ohio! Here are photos of the couple and their castle.
A.J. told Breezy Mama back in 2009 that she, Charles and their two children,...

It's been a pretty great decade for Carrie Underwood. In the 10 years since she first appeared on American Idol, the singer has racked up 18 No. 1 hits and won a slew of awards, including a Grammy for Best New Artist and two ACMs for Entertainer of the Year. Not to mention, she's become a wife, a soon-to-be mom and a fashion designer. Not bad for a girl from Checotah, Oklahoma, who, before Idol, planned on becoming a journalist and singing for fun at karaoke nights. Now, the singer, 31, is marking her success with an inside look at her greatest hits album.

It’s the classic time travel question – would you kill a dangerous killer in their crib, before they’ve actually done anything? Well, what is you weren’t sure the baby was going to do anything? What if you were asked to…
Kill The Moon
By Peter Harness
Directed by Paul Whilmshurst
Clara speaks to the entire Earth – they run the risk of the Earth being destroyed if they don’t kill an innocent being. “The man who normally helps” is nowhere to be found, and a decision must be made. Flashing backwards, we learn that Coal Hill student Courtney Woods has not reacted well to her brief run on the Tardis. The Doctor told her she “wasn’t special”, a comment she’s taken to heart. Clara asks him to apologize; he instead offers her a chance to be the first woman on the Moon.
Alas, all is not well there.

Stop us if you've heard this one before: "Short Term 12" features a helluva breakthrough performance from Brie Larson.
The 23-year-old Sacramento native has been impressing critics time and time again in movies like "Scott Pilgrim," "Rampart" and "21 Jump Street" – not to mention Showtime's "United States of Tara" – but it's the universally hailed SXSW breakout "Short Term" (where Larson leads as a foster care counselor struggling with her own personal demons) that has media folks clamoring for the rest of the world to pay attention.
We talked to the introspective, laid-back Larson for a short while on "Short Term," finding artistic ecstasy in Switzerland, her "type," and more.
First off, wow, what a movie.
Thanks so much. I was really touched by the reality of it, and really shaken by it… It's too real, and it brought up so much stuff in me that I realized I hadn't dealt with,...

Pop sensation, Carly Rae Jepsen, proved she's going to be a huge international star in her first American awards show appearance. Weren't you impressed too? Carly Rae Jepsen, you sounded and looked great performing your huge hit, "Call Me Maybe," on last night's , May 20th, Billboard Awards show. If you had a case of nerves at all before performing, it didn't show for a minute as you bopped around energetically on stage. You hit every note, had a bright, charismatic presence and drew in the entire live audience in the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and the audience of millions watching on TV at home. Not bad for a girl from the small city of Mission, British Columbia who placed third in the fifth season of Canadian Idol in 2007. It was only on Feb. 14 of this year that fellow Canadian Justin Bieber announced on Canada's Much Music program,...

As the youngest winner in "Idol" (Sweden) history, Agnes Carlsson has spent the past year making waves in the world of electronic and dance music. The 22-year-old stunner has galvanized a worldwide fan base with her international smash hit "Release Me," moving over 700,000 copies around the globe. Not bad for a girl from Stockholm who wasn't even voted into the competitions' Top 12 (the judges had to use their executive powers to put her through to the finals of the 2005 season).
Since then, her success has only blossomed. Singles from her third album Dance Love Pop have been released in 35 countries, and she scored a nomination for Sweden's Best Act at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards. Agnes will make her first trip to Winter Music Conference in Miami this week, taking the stage with established hitmakers like Estelle, Kelis and Macy Gray. She is being dubbed an artist...
