Rihanna and Chris Brown are going to make it work.

The singer seems very confident of this fact in her new Elle UK cover story, telling the magazine that her new single is symbolic of their relationship.

"'Stay' is a story about having love that close and wanting it to last forever," says Rihanna, who performed it live at the 2013 Grammy Awards.

"You don't have that feeling with everybody. You don't want to let go of it. I would definitely say that [Brown] is the one I have that kind of relationship with."

Their level of devotion? Pretty high at this point.

Rihanna and Chris Brown celebrated her 25th birthday in Hawaii last month, and she accompanied him and his mother to court a few weeks ago.

They've also been remarkably open and candid about the controversial romance. Even Chris has said how deeply he regrets attacking her in 2009.

He also said he's been forgiven by her (but had to work hard for it), that they're happy, and that Rihanna is the most beautiful girl in the world.

In Elle UK, she's almost as gushing in return.

It's "a great friendship that's unbreakable" she says of her man. "Now that we're adults, we can do this right. We got a fresh start, and I'm thankful for that."

Rihanna also predicts to Elle that she "will have a kid" five years from now, though first she wouldn't mind a good month of vacation before that.

"And [five years from now] I'll have set some things up so I don't have to tour the rest of my life, even though I love touring. I want health and happiness."

"I want to be healthy and happy in five years."

Seems like she's on the right track right now.

"Stay" may be a symbol of enduring love, but there are other symbols that have gotten her into hot water of late. Namely her controversial gun tattoo.

Rihanna describes it as empowering.

"Everybody wanted to know what was happening in my life. Is she a drug addict? No. Is she an alcoholic? No. Is she a victim? No," Rihanna reflects.

"That's why I got the gun. A symbol of strength. I'll never be a victim."

And, while her mom recently "went crazy" on her in response to a couple of Rihanna nude photos online, she just can't help herself on Instagram.

That too, she says, is empowering.

"I Instagram everything about my life, whether it's smoking pot, in a strip club, reading a Bible verse - crazy, I know! - or hanging out with my best friend, who happens to be Chris."

"That's why I'm posting pictures of myself smoking pot, to tell the truth about myself ... I've got so much to think about, why bring all this extra s--t by being dishonest?"

That, she will never be accused of being.

Rihanna and Chris back together:

A couple major characters may be out of Downton Abbey Season 4 - Dan Stevens as Matthew, Siobhan Finneran as O'Brien - but Executive Producer Gareth Neame has come out and shared some exciting casting news:

Shirley MacLaine will return for next season's finale, while SIX new characters will be introduced.

"Downton Abbey has seen many great characters visit the house over the years and we couldn't be more thrilled to welcome the new faces that will be joining the regular cast of Downton Abbey in Season 4," Neamet tells PBS. "We hope audiences will be as excited about them as we are."

• Julian Ovenden as Charles Blake, an aristocrat.
• Dame Kiri Te Kanawa as a guest who sings in the residence..

The would-be Miss Delaware Teen USA must have been really hard up for cash, or really bored, because the infamous Melissa King video only paid her $1,500.

Melissa King initially denied she's the one in the XXX video that made the rounds last week, though she later sort of admitted it in a series of re-Tweets.

The guys behind the adult site, GirlsDoPorn (dot) com, also posted a release form on their website, in which Melissa identifies herself by name.

So it's totally her. Not that this wasn't essentially clear already.

The truly amazing things about this - beyond the basic, obvious fact that the gorgeous Miss Delaware Teen USA starred in a PORN movie - are that:

1. She said her motive was money, yet she only earned a modest $1,500
2. Melissa reached out to the site about doing a sex video, not vice versa
3. She wanted to do more, but GDP passed, calling her debut "frigid"

Yes ... the porn site declined to ask her back for round two.

Melissa King Video

Melissa King may have been interested in the idea at first, but apparently when it came down to the actual sex, she wasn't feeling it. So no sequel.

The irony? If she wanted to do more porn right now, sites would bend over backwards to have her, but they probably couldn't afford her anymore.

YouPorn offered her $250,000 to be the face of their site - and she doesn't even have to have sex for that gig! Talk about a shift in market valuation.

She resigned as Miss Teen Delaware after the scandal broke, but if Kim Kardashian is any indication, this isn't a career-ender. Could be the contrary!

Meanwhile, GirlsDoPorn says traffic has been so high since the news broke about Melissa King that they had to invest in additional server power.

A new rumor suggests that Jay Leno will retire from The Tonight Show next spring. For real this time. Seriously. No backsies for a change.

A pair of high level NBC executives say the network is concerned that Jimmy Kimmel's move to 11:35 p.m. on ABC is sucking up all the younger late-night viewers - and that Jimmy Fallon should therefore be installed as Tonight Show host before it's too late.

"Kimmel has done extremely well," a network veteran tells The Hollywood Reporter. "Jay wins overall, but on any given night, it's neck-and-neck in 18-49. I understand where they might have fear and also feel that they own the solution [in Fallon.]"

According to the report, Leno would announce in May that he is stepping down from the coveted spot when his contract is up at the end of the 2013-2014 television season.

Fallon would then premiere with a "soft launch" during the summer of 2014 before a formal fall debut.

Asked about the possibility, a rep for Leno simply said: "We do not speculate on rumor."

A 37-year-old Florida man is missing after being swallowed by a sinkhole that appeared under his bedroom around 11 p.m. Thursday, an official said.

Jeffrey Bush has not been heard from since the hole appeared in his bedroom in Seffner, Fla., near Tampa. Bush is feared to have been killed.

Sinkhole in Florida

Authorities have said the sinkhole, believed to be up to 30 feet deep, was “seriously unstable.” A 100-foot safety zone was set up around it Friday.

Nearby homes were evacuated for fear of a sudden collapse.

Jessica Damico, public relations officer for Hillsborough County Fire Department, said Saturday that experts resumed working at the site at 7 a.m. ET.

“Right now they are still looking at soil samples and drilling and looking for stability, so they can find the edge of the sinkhole,” she said from the scene.

She said the sinkhole seemed to be about 15 feet deep, or perhaps even more. However she added the actual depth of unstable ground was unclear.

Damico said there was still no sign of Jeffrey Bush.

“If you look in, it’s about 15 feet and then there’s only sand,” she said, noting that engineers are only using camera equipment to examine the hole.

The area is still too unstable for people to go onto.

Bill Bracken, the owner of an engineering company called to assess the hole, said he "cannot tell you why it [the house] has not collapsed yet."

He said the earth below is a "very large, very fluid mass."

"This is not your typical sinkhole," Hillsborough County administrator Mike Merrill added. "This is a chasm. For that reason, we're being very deliberate."

While some in the neighborhood did not the risks, sinkholes are common in Florida; home insurers are required by law to provide coverage for them.

Florida’s geological makeup increases the likelihood of sinkholes, and more than 500 have been reported in Hillsborough County since 1954.

A monster 400-foot sinkhole sucked in a house, five sports cars, two businesses, and part of a swimming pool, appearing near Orlando back in 1981.

"Envision a piece of Swiss cheese," Taylor Yarkosky, a sinkhole expert from Brooksville, Fla., told the AP. "Any house in Florida could be in that situation."

He's one of the few big-time celebrities who is also a big-time Republican.

But Clint Eastwood has veered from the viewpoint of many Conservatives in one regard: the actor signed the American Foundation for Equal Rights’s “Friend of the Court” brief this week.

In doing so, the actor became one of over 100 prominent Republicans to support this gay rights organization's document, which it has filed with the Supreme Court.

In April, the highest court in the land will listen to arguments about the legality of California’s Proposition 8, an amendment that passed in 2008 and which declares “only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized" in that state.

Those such as Eastwood have affixed their name to this brief in the hope that this gay marriage ban will be overturned.

And recent poll revealed that 61 percent of CA residents would support marriage equality. Do you support it?

The mother of Michael Jordan's alleged love child never planned to file a paternity suit against the NBA legend, but the child himself reportedly insisted.

According to TMZ, Pamela Smith had no desire to sue Jordan until her son pleaded with her to make his (alleged) dad admit paternity and pay support.

Taj Jordan (Michael Jordan Secret Son) Video

Pamela Smith is suing Michael for just that, paternity and child support, claiming MJ got her pregnant while he was still married to Juanita Vanoy.

Sources close to Smith, who says Jordan knocked her up in 1995, has always had a good relationship with Michael and doesn't need the money.

However, it was her son Grant Reynolds (a.k.a. Taj Jordan) who desperately wants MJ to acknowledge him and urged her to file the legal documentation.

Smith's intention, her friends say, was never to "call Michael out" but simply to have the (alleged) father be a bigger part of his life for his sake.

Allegedly, Michael and Grant have met a few times over the years. Pamela claims Michael has even given the family money and gifts here and there.

Grant, 16, always had to keep it a secret, though ... until he apparently decided not to anymore. The teen made the above video last December.

No response yet from Jordan or his camp.

So, this actually happened in Pennsylvania this week...

When a receptionist from an Ambridge doctor's office phoned to remind student Travis Clawson that he had an upcoming appointment, the call went to voicemail

No biggie, right?

Except the receptionist heard the words "shooting" and "school" on the outgoing message… which led her to contact the police… who notified school officials… who instituted a lockdown of every school in the country.

Fresh Prince Theme Song

After 20 minutes, Clawson was finally tracked down in the guidance office and it was determined that the receptionist simply heard the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song on his voicemail, which refers to "shooting some ball outside of the school."

Police Chief James Mann and District Attorney Anthony Berosh both spoke to Clawson and cleared up the issue.

No charges will be pressed and we can only presume, with the situation hilariously resolved, that all parties then returned to chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool...

Former Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash is trying to get all three of the lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct by him dismissed, citing statutes of limitations.

He stands accused of inappropriate sexual relations with boys under the age of 18; Clash previously denied all of the allegations against him.

Clash attorney Michael Berger wrote in a brief Friday:

"There are two applicable types of statutes of limitations, a six-year one based on when the right of action has accrued, and a three-year one based on when the alleged victim turned 18 and was therefore no longer under the disability of being a minor."

According to Clash's camp, both have lapsed.

Cecil Singleton, the first to file suit against the former Sesame Street staple, said in court documents that his interaction with Clash occurred in 2003.

He was 15 at the time.

He stated that he wasn't "aware he had suffered adverse psychological and emotional effects from Kevin Clash's sexual acts and conduct until 2012."

The second plaintiff, who filed as John Doe, said in his suit that he was 16 when he had an inappropriate sexual relationship with Clash in 2000.

A third plaintiff, identified only as S.M., charged in a complaint that he was "16 or 17" when he had sexual contact with Clash in the mid-1990s.

Yet another man, Sheldon Stephens, accused Clash of similar behavior before settling out of court ... then saying he wishes he hadn't settled.

Berger states in today's filing that the three men suing Clash would have needed to file suit, respectively, in 2009, 2006 and 2001 to be within six years.

Or, based on their respective ages, in 2009, 2003 and 2000, respectively as the latest possible dates to be within three years of them turning 18.

All three suits were filed in November and December of 2012.

Jeff Herman, who represents all three plaintiffs, tells E! News he doesn't think a motion to "avoid liability on technical grounds" will be successful.

"It should be noted his motion does not say the abuse did not happen, just that it is too late to file the complaints," Herman told the network in response.

"The law we are proceeding under recognizes the rights of victims to bring their lawsuits within six years from the time they connect their injuries to the abuse."

"We are hopeful the Court will see it our way, however, by being able to bring their claims forth publicly the victims are already further along in the healing process."

Teri James, a former employee of San Diego Christian College, has hired Gloria Allred to sue the school for allegedly firing her for engaging in premarital sex.

James told The Today Show that she did sign a contract stipulating she would not take part in "sexually immoral behavior including premarital sex."

However, "I needed a job in this economy and so I never thought that anything would happen," the 29-year old explained.

James said she was subsequently embarrassed called into her supervisor's office last year and asked if she was pregnant. Upon giving confirmation, she was fired.

Oddly enough, James assert the college later offered a position to her now-husband, even though officials were aware he had sex before getting married, as well.

During a news conference this week, James said she felt she was treated unfairly:

"I was unmarried, pregnant and they took away my livelihood."

Justin Bieber may have suffered through the worst birthday ever this week.

But at least he has the greatest fans in the universe.

Following an unfortunate incident at a London club Friday night - reports now claim Bieber and his entourage got into it with security after the establishment insisted 14-year old Jaden Smith was too young for entry - Bieber took to Twitter yesterday and wrote:

"I see and saw all the posts from around the world. U got me smiling. Love u. Thank u."

Justin also re-Tweeted the following sage words of wisdom from manager Scooter Braun:

"Life is a roller coaster. Just know when u dip low it is only to build excitement as u will fly high again. Enjoy the journey."

We agree and all, but Justin may need to get a little perspective.

Choosing to leave an exclusive club on your 19th birthday because your famous friend's age violates the club's policy isn't exactly a major low point in life. Some folks have it a tad worse, JB.

Morrissey is at it again.

The British indie-rocker continued his random, don't-give-a-f*%k string of celebrity feuds, this time taking issue with Beyonce of all people. At issue?

Her handbags. Seriously.

During an L.A. concert Friday, the 53-year-old outspoken vegetarian singled out Bey for her bags, saying she is personally contributing to rhino extinction.

Out of nowhere? Over the top? You bet. That's Morrissey for you.

The former Smiths frontman, who also made the Staples Center go meatless for the show by shutting down McDonald's, scolded Queen Bey on stage.

Before launching into the song, "Meat is Murder," appropriately.

Morrissey's been on a ROLL of late, launching into a tirade against Prince Harry and the British royal family, and bailing on Jimmy Kimmel last week.

The singer nixed his appearance on the talk show because the cast of the duck hunting reality hit Duck Dynasty was scheduled for the same night.

Lest you think he just does all this to make news, he sold out the 20,000-set venue, where he was introduced by Patrick Dempsey of Grey's Anatomy.

Yes, you read that right. With Morrissey, there's never a dull (or predictable) moment, and no one is safe from a morose missive or verbal indictment.

Until every last celebrity eats only vegetarian recipes and eschews animal products, don't expect him to censor himself. Dude possesses no filter.

Jacqueline Laurita is trouble with the law. Expensive trouble with the law, we should say.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star was sent a tax lien earlier this year for $338,337.05, although the state Division of Taxation documents don't specify the year in which Laurita racked up this massive sum.

If she doesn't pay the debt in the near future, the state could/will go after Jacqueline's assets.

But, hey, at least she can lean on Danielle Staub and Teresa Giudice for comfort. Both those reality stars are in the middle of bankruptcy battles at the moment.

Isn't it nice to know these women are taking such good care of their six-figure paychecks from Bravo each year?

Jessica Powell recently broke up with her boyfriend after he pushed her off a cliff against her will - she was attached to a rope, mind you. But still.

Boyfriend Pushes Girlfriend Off Cliff

Daredevil Creighton Baird spent 45 minutes coaxing Powell to the edge of a narrow Utah canyon in hopes of embarking on a terrifying rope swing.

She failed to muster up the courage. So he just shoved her off.

Then she mustered the courage to break up with him mid-fall.

In the video of this event, Powell can be heard letting out a series of terrified screams before yelling “I’m breaking up with you!” Baird fell over laughing.

Not as much later when he realized she was serious.

This was part of a series of videos shot by cinematographer Devin Graham, who says Jessica Powell later thanked Baird for giving her the push.

“She came up and gave him a big hug and thanked him,” Graham claims. "They did break up, but it had nothing to do with getting pushed off the rope swing.”

Sure.

Queen Elizabeth II was hospitalized today at London's King Edward VII Hospital, Palace sources confirm to E! News, for symptoms related to gastroenteritis.

Her Highness is expected to remain under physician care for about 48 hours for this stomach infection, says press officer James Roscoe.

"She went to the hospital today at around 3 p.m. GMT. She is in good spirits, besides the symptoms of gastroenteritis," Roscoe says. "Doctors are saying she should be in hospital for a couple days."

The 86-year old monarch has canceled a trip to Rome as a result of the illness.

We wish the Queen a speedy recovery and we encourage Royal fans to check out these Kate Middleton photos while they pray for her well-being.

Jack may have slayed a giant, and even come out on top of this weekend's box office, but he still anchored the first dud of 2013.

Indeed, Jack the Giant Slayer earned $28 million on Friday and Saturday, but the big budget fantasy adventure was made for over $150 million and will not come anywhere close to recouping that investment.

It was an especially weak weekend overall for Hollywood, as Ed Harris and David Duchovny anchored an historically terrible Phantom.

That drama was made for $18 million and opened to $465,000 on 1,100 screens. Total.

Here's a look at the top five:

1. Jack the Giant Slayer - $28 million
2. Identity Thief - $9.7 million
3. 21 and Over - $9 million
4. The Last Exorcism Part II - $8 million
5. Snitch - $7.7 million

In his first extensive interview since losing the Presidential election to Barack Obama, Mitt Romney told Chris Matthews this morning that he only has himself to blame for not taking the White House.

“I lost my election because of my campaign," Romney said on Fox News Sunday. "Not because of what anyone else did."

Mitt Romney on Fox News Sunday

Romney cited his failure to win over African-American and Hispanic voters, while also zeroing in on his "47 percent" comments as being detrimental to his bid.

Admitting that it "kills" him not to be President, Romney also had a few choice words for the man who is:

"He didn’t think the sequester would happen," he said. "It is happening. To date, what we’ve seen is the president out campaigning to the American people, doing rallies around the country, flying around the country and berating Republicans and blaming and pointing.

"Now, what does that do? That causes the Republicans to retrench and to put up a wall and to fight back.”

Ann Romney, meanwhile, was not as deferential about the basis for her husband's defeat. She squarely pointed a finger at the fourth estate.

“It was not just the campaign’s fault," Ann told Fox News. "I believe it was the media's fault as well, in that he was not being given a fair shake, that people weren’t allowed to really see him for who he was. I’m happy to blame the media."

She then concluded by focusing on the same current issue plaguing the government:

"I totally believe at this moment, if Mitt were there in the office, that we would not be facing sequestration right now."

Yo quiero ground beef tainted with horse meat at Taco Bell!

Europe's growing horse meat problem escalated Friday as Britain's food regulator said that new testing had found the Bell's beef supply tainted with it.

Taco Bell parent company Yum Brands said the horsemeat issue is limited to the UK market, and that it will step up testing of its beef going forward.

Europe's horsemeat scandal erupted in January, when testing in Ireland revealed that some ground beef products sold there contained equine DNA.

Burger King horsemeat samples were also found in February.

The tainted beef epidemic continues to ensnare numerous well-known brands, prompting product withdrawals, consumer concerns and government investigations.

Britain's Food Standards Agency (FSA) said on Friday it had conducted 1,797 tests over the last seven days, 99 percent of which were negative.

However, four tests were positive, it said. Four too many.

They were for Taco Bell ground beef, beef skewers made by catering company Brakes, and Birds Eye ready meals - spaghetti bolognese and beef lasagne.

The Birds Eye meals were withdrawn from sale last week after tests on a product the company sold in Belgium via the same supplier came back positive.

Taco Bell tested meat at its UK restaurants as soon as news of the horsemeat contamination surfaced, spokesman Christopher Fuller said in a statement.

Taco Bell, like many other companies, cannot say for certain whether any of the horsemeat-tainted product was served to consumers, he saod.

The chain will test every batch of beef when it arrives at its processor and again before it is delivered to restaurants to make sure it is 100 percent beef.

"We apologize to our customers and take this very seriously," he added.

For Yum, food contamination hasn't been limited to ground beef, either.

Its nearly 5,300 KFC restaurants in China have seen business plummet after news reports and government investigations found chemical residue in its chicken supply.

The horse meat scandal has not extended to the U.S., at least not yet, but given the complexities of the food supply chain, you have to wonder.

Wonder if a homemade caprese pizza recipe isn't a better bet, that is.

There's a Harlem Shake on this muthaf*%kin' plane. - Samuel L. Jackson

Just kidding. Samuel L. played no part of this whatsoever (sadly), but as Harlem Shake videos go, the new elevation record has officially been set.

Even the skydiving edition didn't reach 35,000 feet cruising altitude, which is where the Colorado College Wasabi Ultimate team decided to go crazy.

Watch below as the team Harlem Shakes its way to a tournament in San Diego aboard Frontier Airlines Flight 157 - with the whole cabin joining in!

Carly Rae Jepsen has taken a stand in favor of gay right.

By canceling a concert appearance organized by the Boy Scouts of America.

The Canadian crooner - who is currently opening for Justin Bieber in London - had been booked to perform at the National Scout Jamboree in Mount Hope, West Virginia in July.

But she announced via Twitter this morning that she was backing out of the gig and made the reason why as clear as can be:

"As an artist who believes in equality for all people, I will not be participating in the Boy Scouts of America Jamboree this summer," Jepsen wrote. "I always have and will continue to support the LGBT community on a global level ... and stay informed on the ever changing landscape in the ongoing battle for gay rights in this country and across the globe."

Train has also canceled its appearance at the show, but has said it will gladly reverse this decision if the Boy Scouts of America reverses its policy on not allowing gays to enlist.
