VIDEO: Madonna threatens Palin at concert

Madonna has taken yet another hit at vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin by lashing out at the politician in an impromptu song at a recent concert.

The pop superstar threatened to "kick her ass" in between sets at a recent show, where she urged the audience to clap and sing along.

In video footage of the incident posted online, she rants: "You know who could get off of my street? Sarah Palin, she can get off of my street, okay?"

She then begins singing, "Sarah Palin can get off of my street/Just get off of my street...She's not going to (Washington) D.C... I will kick her a**/Just get off of my street."

The "Holiday" hitmaker banned Palin from ever coming to her concerts on Saturday during a show in New Jersey.

Continuing her tirade, the star finished off the song, adding, "Okay that was a bit of a rant.. it's nothing personal. I love her soul, okay?"

Madonna - currently on the U.S. leg of her Sticky & Sweet tour - has previously shown her dislike of the Republican party, using the image of Palin's running-mate, presidential candidate John McCain, in a video segment alongside scenes of destruction, global warming and starving children.

Following her recent success at the MTV Video Music Awards - where she scooped up three Moon Men - and the successful release of her latest single, "Womanizer," the reinvention of Britney Spears will be aired, documentary-style, on MTV in November.

"I sit there and I'll look back and I'm like: I'm a smart person. What the hell was I thinking?" she says in a clip from the sneak-peek.

In the 90-minute film, whose working title is For the Record, Spears opens up about her tumultuous recent history. "I've been through a lot in the past two or three years, and there's a lot that people don't know," she says.

The documentary looks forward to Britney's much-anticipated second try at a comeback. And although she's been through some rough stuff, Britney says, "It never stopped being fun for me."

MTV will air the documentary on November 30. Britney's forthcoming album, Circus, is slated to hit stores two days later, December 2, her 27th birthday.

Lohan Fears Court Deposition Will Be Leaked Online

DAILY ENTERTAINMENT PHOTOS: Get the Latest Celeb Gossip!

Lindsay Lohan is begging a court not to force her to testify in a forthcoming case on videotape - because she fears it will be leaked online.

Lohan has been called to testify in girlfriend Samantha Ronson's malpractice suit against her former lawyer Martin Garbus.

Garbus represented Ronson in a defamation case she lost against blogger Perez Hilton, who had written that Lohan's 2007 arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) and possession of cocaine was the DJ's fault.

According to papers obtained by TMZ.com, the actress filed a motion in Los Angeles on Wednesday protesting a videotaped deposition, because she fears Garbus will question her "about the details of the drugs allegedly found in the car and of her alleged romantic relationship with Ronson."

The paperwork adds that Lohan is concerned the tape will be leaked online and cause her "unwarranted annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, undue burden and expense."

She is also requesting a private location for the deposition, that there are minimal witnesses present and that any transcript of her words is kept secure.

Ronson's lawsuit against Perez Hilton was thrown out of court last year.

Hudson Won't Limit Her Talent

Daily Entertainment Photos - "Get the lowdown!"

Jennifer Hudson loves defying the public's expectations by showing different sides of herself - and insists she is "a tree with many branches."

The multi-talented star has a highly successful acting career, scooping 29 awards for her appearance in 2007 movie Dreamgirls.

And she hopes her self-titled debut album will surprise fans - because it is such a change from her usual work.

She tells CNN.com, "I don't believe in limits so I wasn't allowing myself to be limited and I wanted to show other sides of me, and to say 'Well, if you like this side of Jennifer, let me introduce you to another side'.

"I used to consider my voice a tree with many branches and that's what to me this album displays, all these different sides of me."

But Hudson insists she has no plans to film a musical - because she doesn't want her movie career to clash with her singing.

She adds, "If I'm acting I'm acting, if I'm singing I'm singing. There's no doing both, because I don't wanna split my focus... so one had to give way for the other."

Reverend Run: '50 Cent and West Feud Was Faked'

Daily Entertainment Photos - "Get the lowdown!"

Rapper Reverend Run has exposed Kanye West and 50 Cent's highly publicized feud as a sham - insisting the pair are "really close."

50 Cent - real name Curtis Jackson - vowed to quit music last year if his album Curtis lost out in the charts to West's Graduation.

But the fall out between the pair was just a ploy to sell more records, according to the Run DMC star.

He says, "They are not really fighting. They are friends. That was just a publicity thing for their albums. I think they are really close and nice to each other. That was just a first week sales battle."

Rapper T.I. has landed another gig - as a magazine editor.

The "Whatever You Like" hitmaker, who is currently sitting at the top of both the U.S. album and singles charts, has guest edited the upcoming issue of urban magazine King.

"He was always thorough with it. So when we started the discussion for this issue, we saw he was taking it seriously. He really wanted to run the magazine for an issue. That was the deciding factor."

The new mag features the rapper's "Whatever You Like" video love interest Reagan Gomez-Preston on the cover.

Beyonce 'Always Knew' She'd Marry Jay-Z

DAILY ENTERTAINMENT PHOTOS: Get the Latest Celeb Gossip!

Beyonce Knowles insisted on keeping her April wedding to rap superstar Jay-Z low key - because she didn't want all the attention on her.

The usually guarded newlywed has previously refused to even acknowledge the fact that she's now Mrs. Shawn Carter - but she has opened up about their secret nuptials and their love for one another in the new issue of Essence magazine.

Knowles revealed she shunned a big, white wedding because she's not a "traditional woman", adding: "It's been my day so many days already."

And the "Crazy In Love" hitmaker claims she never wanted an engagement ring, saying "People put too much emphasis on that. It's just material and it's just silly to me."

Another thing Knowles was always sure about was their commitment to one another - and she's adamant it was destiny that they would wed.

She explains, "We've been together for a long time. We always knew it would happen."

The couple filed their wedding license on April 18 in Scarsdale, New York.

T.I. Wants Youth to Choose Their Next President for Themselves

Daily Entertainment Photos - "Get the lowdown!"

Rapper T.I. is urging America's youth not to copy their idols' political persuasions - because they need to make up their own minds about who to vote for in the upcoming presidential election.

The "Whatever You Like" star, real name Clifford Harris Jr., is unable to cast his vote when the country goes to the polls in November, because of his criminal past.

But he wants his fans to pay close attention to the ongoing political debates between presidential hopefuls John McCain and Barack Obama, so they can choose for themselves who is better suited to leading their country.

He tells MTV.com, "When I'm speaking to young people and they say, 'Who you voting for?' I say, 'Well, what (do) you think's wrong with the country? What problems do you need to be fixed? OK, then cut your PlayStation off and turn to CNN and listen to these people. Listen to each of the candidates' platforms, and whoever you think is speaking passionately and intelligently and will do the things you think need changed, that's who you vote for.' It ain't as easy as saying, 'T.I., OK, tell me who to vote for.'"

DAILY ENTERTAINMENT PHOTOS: Get the Latest Celeb Gossip!

The Ad Council has partnered with the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network and recruited Hilary Duff to develop a multimedia campaign to dissuade teens from using the phrase "that's gay."

In new television spots, teen girls are shown shopping for clothes, and one of the girls calls a top "gay." Enter Hilary Duff.

"When you say 'that’s so gay,' do you realize what you say? Knock it off," Duff tells the teen.

Kevin Jennings, the executive director of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network told Advocate magazine that he was thrilled, albeit caught off guard, when approached with the opportunity to work with the Ad Council on this project.

He says,"We were a little startled when they came to us 18 months ago and said, 'We’ve never done a campaign on LGBT issues before. We think it’s time, and we want do it in an education context.' So we were the natural partner at GLSEN, because our work is about education and about young people."

According to Jennings, the commercials have been well-received by teenagers.
