Well, he didn't take our advice.

Not long after Justin Bieber announced plans for a Christmas album, THG offered a number of title suggestions. Sadly, he took none of them, choosing instead the less-than-original title of... "Under the Mistletoe."

Bieber also revealed via Twitter that the CD will drop November 1 and said "this is not your normal Christmas album." Hmmm... we know it will feature Usher, but to what else is Justin referring? Ponder that question as you enjoy your first look at the album's cover below:

The custody battle between Camille and Kelsey Grammer continues to grow uglier than Snooki after a night at the club.

Here is the latest:

The ex-couple faced off in court today because Kelsey wanted to spend six days with his children in Los Angeles. Camille did not want this to happen because she feared her former husband would not take the kids to their usual activities, such as dancing, sports and, according to TMZ, therapy.

A family court judge ruled in the actor's favor... but added that he can only be in charge of the children if they DO attend said activities. Kelsey's response? Okay, I'll go... if Camille does not!

Seriously, these people are less mature than their offspring.

Camille, however, is a regular attendee at these events and, sources say, has every intention of keeping her schedule. Stay tuned to see how this gets resolved! If you can stomach it.

A paramedic who rushed to save Michael Jackson's life on June 25, 2009, said that if Dr. Conrad Murray called 911 sooner, EMTs might have had a chance.

Richard Senneff said that on that day, Murray told him he called 911 the second he realized MJ was in distress - a claim others have disputed at length.

Yesterday, bodyguard Alberto Alvarez testified that the Michael Jackson 911 call - which he placed - came well after Murray discovered Jackson unresponsive.

According to the police, the delay was at least 20 minutes.

The case against Jackson's doctor is looking pretty strong at the moment.

Senneff said that if Dr. Murray called earlier, there was a good chance EMT's could have restarted Michael Jackson's heart. But alas, we'll never know now.

Charged with involuntary manslaughter, Murray's defense theory is going to have to be pretty compelling to overcome the state's evidence at this point.

Other key points of the paramedic's testimony Friday:

Demi Lovato has been through a lot. The singer hasn't been shy about discussing these obstacles, as she hopes her experience will help other young girls struggling with low self-esteem.

In a new interview, meanwhile, Lovato goes out of her way to acknowledge a pair of famous friends who have helped her navigate through the tough times:

"I feel like there are some people that you're friends with that talk to you on Twitter or you text," she tell Billboard, "but the people that are really there for me are the people that were there for me when I went into treatment. The people that were calling me while I was in there were Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez. Those two girls, they meant the world to me. They still do."

Up next professionally for Lovato, she'll unleash"Who's That Boy" as the second single off "Unbroken." It will follow "Skyscraper," which shot to number-10 on the Hot 100 in July.

"I've been on such a journey over the past year that it just feels awesome to be able to release music that I've worked really hard on, and now that it's done well [on the chart] it feels even better," Demi told the magazine.

Enrique Iglesias and Jennifer Lopez gets their sexy groove on in a new duet.

The singers team up below on "Mouth 2 Mouth," a single that included the lyrics We live. We love. We die. and which will be included on Iglesias' deluxe reissue of his 2010 album Euphoria. Will you be running off to download this track? Give it a listen and find out.

J. Lo, of course, has been on her own professional roll lately. Check out the official music video for "Papi" NOW.

Known for her hilarious Bridesmaids quotes and her starring role on Mike & Molly, actress Melissa McCarthy is living proof that you don't have to be plastered across gossip sites in bikini photos to be laugh-out-loud funny.

Plus-size women can feel like stars, too.

After co-designing her Emmys dress with dressmaker Daniella Pearl, the 41-year-old - who combed through "9 million dresses with taffeta or shiny bows" - decided to create a clothing line for women with similar body types.

"Trying to find stuff that's still fashion-forward in my size is damn near impossible," she tells The Hollywood Reporter. "It's either for like a 98-year-old woman or a 14-year-old hooker, and there is nothing in the middle."

It wasn't until McCarthy became a mom to daughters Vivian, 4, and Georgette, 1, that she stopped feeling insecure about her physical appearance.

Clueless actress Stacey is officially divorced from her husband Emmanuel Xuereb.

A judge finally granted her divorce from the loser she claims beat her up on multiple occasions. Stacey Dash filed for divorce in January 2010, the same day she filed for a restraining order against Emmanuel.

Stacey claimed that Xuereb had hit her in the face, head and body during their two-plus years of marriage, but she was afraid to report it to police.

In any case, the marriage - which was Dash's third - is officially over now.

Ashton Kutcher went all third grader on us in a recent Tweet, telling the public not to assume anything about his marriage to Demi Moore. But this s a fact:

The couple no longer follows each other on Twitter! Considering how obsessed each is with this social network, could there be any surer sign that they're over?

Moore is "sad, hurt and embarrassed" by the scandal, a source close to the actress tells Entertainment Tonight, adding that Demi and Ashton "had been receiving counseling from Kabbalah over the summer to try to fix their marriage."

Alas, it failed and they are reportedly now living apart.

Still no word from Sara Leal, though, Kutcher's alleged mistress who reports indicated was in the process of hiring an attorney and seeking out the highest offer she could find to tell her story.

We didn't see this cover coming.
