Say goodbye to 'Friday'

All the Rebecca Black haters can rejoice. The wannabe pop star has pulled her viral video “Friday” off YouTube. But it wasn’t the death threats that finally persuaded her to take the song offline. “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Rebecca Black,” reads the Web page. “Sorry about that.”  (Kevin Winter / Getty Images)

Fans get a taste of Gaga's leftovers

Apparently Lady Gaga’s meat dress had a longer shelf life than we all thought. Now, fans can get a closer look at the cured couture that Gaga wore to the MTV Video Music Awards back in September, at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.  (Amy Sancetta / Associated Press)

Sean Bean: real-life brawler

It’s not just an act; Sean Bean actually is a tough guy. Case in point: his recent bar brawl in London. The “Game of Thrones” star was reportedly punched and stabbed with broken glass outside a pub Sunday night in Camden. In true bad-boy fashion, he simply walked back inside and even ordered another drink. Coincidentally, Bean’s “Thrones” character Eddard Stark suffered a major blow the same night on a shocking episode of the HBO show.  (Francine Orr / Los Angeles Times)

Petra Ecclestone gets into real estate

Most 22-year-olds are stuck living in dorm rooms or cheap apartments, but not Petra Ecclestone (pictured right with her sister Tamara). She will be living in luxury in her new Holmby Hills mansion, purchased from Candy Spelling (wife of the late TV exec Aaron Spelling) for a whopping $85 million. So where did Petra come up with all the dough? We’re guessing with some help from her billionaire dad and British Formula One exec Bernie Ecclestone. The 56,500-square-foot house features 100 rooms, a bowling alley, flower-cutting room, wine cellar/tasting room, barbershop and a silver storage room.  (Gareth Cattermole / Getty Images)
