No. Effin. Way.

Right?!?

According to a new report, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore may get back together, following a birthday party scene in which the actor grew very emotional and the former couple shared a few intimate moments.

It all took place at a celebration in honor of the man who officiated Kutcher and Moore's wedding over six years ago.

Witnesses tell The Daily Mirror that the two were locked in a minute-long embrace at one point, with Kutcher making a tearful speech that included the words: “I’ve made all these horrendous mistakes in the last year.”

Ashton reportedly received applause when he was finished, while a source says Demi looked "frozen" in response.

“They are still desperately in love and could be on for a reconciliation," an insider tells the newspaper. "The divorce isn’t being processed right now.”

Another hint that hope actually remains for Ashton and Demi? The latter - who recently updated her Twitter handle to reflect her single status - Favorited a Tweet by Wiz Khalifa that reads: “We all make mistakes. Don’t let that be the reason you give up on somebody.”

Should Demi and Ashton get back together?

Michelle Obama was with the single ladies during the weekend: her daughters.

The First Lady of the United States attended a Beyonce concert in Atlantic City, N.J., with Sasha and Malia by her side for the show at Revel Resorts.

Beyonce performed two dozen songs Saturday, reports said. Michelle and the two girls appeared excited throughout the concert, cheering Beyonce on.

Sasha and Malia even sang along to the old school-sounding jam "Love on Top."

Michelle and Beyonce seem to be building quite the rapport of late: MTV says the two have been exchanging letters for the past few months.

Michelle Obama told People last week that if she could be any other person in the world, she'd be Beyoncé "because it looks like musicians have the most fun."

Obama's new book, American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America, hits stores Tuesday.

Justin Bieber has been accused of battery against a celebrity gossip photographer. But questions have already risen over the legitimacy of this allegation.

Here is what the paparazzi member claims in a police report: he tried to take Justin's picture around noon yesterday outside a mall in Calabasas called The Commons.

Bieber, who was accompanied by Selena Gomez, reacted in anger, some kind of physical confrontation took place and the photographer was taken to the hospital after complaining of upper torso pain.

Here is what actually went down according to witnesses who spoke to TMZ: The photographer was blocking Bieber's car; the singer asked him to move; and a scuffle did ensue when the "journalist" refused to do so.

But an attorney then approached the photographer and explained how he could get a lot of money if he called and ambulance and pressed charges.

No word yet from anyone in Justin's camp, while authorities are hoping to speak to Bieber and Gomez some time this week.

Britney Spears' fiance Jason Trawick, in a sweet video message filmed from bed, sends love and congratulations to his pop star bride-to-be.

After she filmed her first set of X Factor auditions in Austin, Texas, during which she may or may not have walked off the set, Jason said:

"Princess, we just completed our first weekend on X Factor. Just wanted to say I'm very proud of you and I love you so much. Congratulations."

Jason Trawick Loves Britney Spears

Trawick, Spears' former agent, signs off the brief video with a sweet kiss, joking, "Now get back in here so we can go to sleep."

Spears, meanwhile, responded on Facebook, writing, "Awww love you too Xoxo."

On Thursday and Friday, Britney Spears joined L.A. Reid, Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell in Austin for her first-ever X Factor auditions.

"Texas has a lot of talent - seriously! Totally loving @TheXFactorUSA auditions so far," Tweeted Spears, who has 15 million reasons to.

You might wanna avert your eyes, Casper Smart.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony took the stage Saturday night at the Mandalay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas because they brought their American Idol-like reality competition, Q'Viva!, to Sin City.

A program that seeks to find the very best Latin American talent, Q'Viva! will feature a number of its top contestants throughout its run in Vegas, with J. Lo and her ex helping tickets sales by performing separate acts during the show's opening week.

Amber Portwood, who was jailed last week for contempt of court after giving up on rehab, believes prison is the only way to save her life.

That's because her drug addition has gotten so brutal, nothing will keep her from the substances she craves short of locking her in a cell.

Sources say that last week, following her most recent arrest, her (failed) drug test was positive for the opiate-based drug Suboxone.

This is a highly addictive drug similar to Morphine. Portwood admits that she can't control herself around the drug. Not even close, in fact.

She even bought it off the street during a court-ordered drug program, she says, and threw in the towel on rehab because there's no point.

Amber Portwood feels going to prison is the only way to get clean because it will force her to kick the addiction cold turkey and forever.

However illogical this may be, it looks like she'll get her wish. A judge will decide how long she spends there in couple of weeks.

Jessica Sanchez picked the wrong year to finish second on American Idol.

In the wake of this singer's loss to Phillip Phillips, an Associated Press report took a look into changes made to the season 11 contract for all contestants.

It states that this year's runner-up is only entitled to a "developmental" deal with 19 Recordings, something that could net Sanchez between $30,000-$60,000, depending on the number of single's commissioned by the label. This marks the first time in history the second-place finisher has not been awarded a guaranteed album and $175,000 advance.

Yes, Jessica could still see that figure if 19 Records does order a CD; and she'll also bank $50,000 for all future Idol-sponsored public appearances.

But why the change in guarantees?

Because ratings for American Idol are down; a majority of albums from show finalists have not done well; and because the music industry overall has changed: in 2011, nearly 1.3 billion singles were purchased, while only 331 million albums were moved.

Phillips, meanwhile, received $300,000 and an album contract for winning.

Good thing Lindsay Lohan's raking in the money these days, because she has a list of creditors longer than Octomom. Okay ... maybe not quite.

Still, when a tanning salon is going you with a vengeance for not paying a judgment for a humongous tanning bill - $40,000 - you've got issues.

It's not just a false claim, either. A Nevada judge ORDERED Lindsay to pay the $40,000 sum to the salon nine months ago. Shocker - she hasn't.

As a result, the salon is trying to get the matter moved to California, in an attempt to garnish Lindsay's assets to satisfy the legal judgment.

Pathetic. At least Tanning Mom pays for her services.

LiLo racked up the bronzing binge tab at Tanning Vegas from 2007-09. Given the evolution of Lindsay Lohan's face, that was money well spent.

Or not spent, as the case may be. At least not yet.

In a scarily real-life scene that conjured up images of a zombie apocalypse, a man was shot and killed in Miami after attempting to eat the face off another.

The horror began about 2 p.m. Saturday on the MacArthur Causeway when a series of gunshots were heard on the ramp, which is along NE 13th Street.

According to Miami police sources, a road ranger saw a naked man chewing on another man’s face and shouted on his loud speaker for him to back away.

A passerby also saw it and called the cops. The Miami Herald building's security cameras captured the incident. Be forewarned, the video is disturbing ...

Man Shot, Killed After Eating Another Man's Face

The responding officer, who has not been identified, ordered the naked man to back away immediately. When he continued the assault, the officer shot him.

The attacker failed to stop eating his victim even after being shot, forcing the officer to keep firing. Witnesses said they heard at least a half dozen shots.

The other man was transported to the hospital with critical injuries, and is fighting for his life, according to police. Neither man's identity has been released.

The incident, which came as crowds descended upon South Beach for the annual Urban Beach Week festival, snarled traffic on the causeway for hours.

In a text message Sunday, Javier Ortiz, spokesman for Miami police’s Fraternal Order of Police, said the officer who fired the fatal shots was “a hero.”

Investigators believe the victim may have been homeless, and the attacker might have been suffering from "cocaine psychosis," a drug-induced craze.

UPDATE, 5/29: Rudy Eugene, 31, of N. Miami Beach, has been identified as the attacker. The name of the victim, still in serious condition, has not been released.

Eugene was reportedly under the influence of cocaine and/or LSD at the time of the bizarre incident. Follow the above link for additional details.

UPDATE, 5/30: Ronald Poppo, 65, has been identified as the victim. He is amazingly still alive, and in critical condition. He is homeless.

A new video shows the unprovoked attack - reportedly blamed now on psychosis resulting from bath salts, ingested or injected - in its entirety.

Disturbingly, it continues for nearly 18 minutes before police kill Eugene, with a number of motorists driving by and doing nothing to stop it:

Rudy Eugene Attack on Ronald Poppo

UPDATE, 5/31: Police and doctors believe bath salts - not the Bath & Body Works type but illegal, designer street drugs - may have been behind the attack.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians is back!

Sadly, this season has been all Kris Jenner.

On last week's Keeping Up season premiere, Khloe Kardashian's paternity non-issues took center stage. This week, she's on the outs with Kourtney Kardashian.

Why? Find out here in our official rekap!

Kourtney Kardashian is not a fan of her mom's book. Or new attitude. "My mom's just like, talking about some hot guy at the concert and I just find every little thing she's saying annoying," she says. "She's a married woman, it's just inappropriate."

It's the past that really bugs her though. The two have it out over her mother's affair and subsequent divorce, something that makes this contrived, scripted show feel real and close to home for the first time probably ever. Plus 30.

"I didn't do something on purpose to hurt you," Kris says. "I was too young and stupid to make a good decision. If I had to do it all over again obviously I wouldn't do it." No, Ryan Seacrest Productions would never have written it. Minus 20.
