They are fundamentalist Christians, and hard right politically, who think Obama is the Great Satan. But Katy, 28, has a mind of her own when it comes to politics and has been an avid supporter of the President’s. To show that support, she wore a skin-tight latex dress during the show that was a facsimile of an election ballot. A big box was marked for the Obama, Joe Biden ticket. ...

    Micky Dolenz, riding a newfound wave of popularity since his Monkee days, headlined a show at New York’s landmark B.B. King Bar and Grill that ranged from favorites like “I’m a Believer” to songs from his new album Remember. Dolenz, a multi-talented child actor, vaulted to pop culture icon with his two-year stint on ’60s comedy show “The Monkees,” about the antics of a band based on The Beatles. The show’s stars Dolenz, Peter Tork, Michael Nesmith and Davy Jones were all musicians in their own right, and The Monkees became a musical force all its own after the show ended.

    Chris Brown has found a way to draw attention from an eerie tattoo on his neck that resembles Rihanna’s bruised and battered face. He got another tattoo right next to it.
