Scott Thorson and Michael Jackson

Liberace's lover Scott Thorson claims he had a "six or seven" year romance with Michael Jackson.

The 54-year-old former partner of the legendary pianist has alleged he grew close to the "Billy Jean" hitmaker and described him as generous: "Liberace introduced me and Michael in the late 1970s. It was right around the time 'Thriller' was coming out and Michael and I became lovers. Our relationship went on for six or seven years. Michael was very generous too. He treated me well."

Chris Brown and RihannaChris Brown dumped Rihanna because she was too dramatic.

The "Fine China" hitmaker - who is still on probation for beating Rihanna up in 2009 - reportedly called time on his relationship with her and got back together with his ex Karrueche Tran because he was sick of the drama with Rihanna, 25.

"Karrueche isn't all hype and crazy like Rihanna and that's probably why Chris chose her in the end. She's drama free and real and she's a good girl," a source said.

Chris, 24, also prefers Karrueche because she isn't jealous when he talks to other women. "She loves him and she was even cool with him being with Rihanna while they just kept their relationship on a business level. She was fine with that but in the end, Chris came back to her. She didn't force a thing. Karrueche isn't upset with Chris! Not in the least. She's out in New York having fun and enjoying him, the city and the nightlife. She knows how many girls want to be next to Chris. In the beginning, when she first met him, she was taken back by all the crazy attention girls gave him, but now she's used to it. They're just a bunch of groupies who don't hold a candle to her," the source added.


Tim Burton and Helena Bonham CarterTim Burton shoots Helena Bonham Carter with a Nerf gun when he gets angry with her.

The Hollywood couple - who have two children together, Billy, nine, and five-year-old Nell - admit they have had some difficult times during their 11 year relationship, which has seen them work on a number of movies together, but they find novel ways of dealing with their issues.

"We've survived [as a couple], but it hasn't always been easy. Sweeney Todd was the worst; definitely the worst. But then I found out she was pregnant with Nell and it kind of all made sense. Alice in Wonderland was fine. Alice was good, actually. I had a Nerf gun that I'd shoot her with every so often to get my tension out," he explained.

Jon Bon Jovi and Justin BieberJon Bon Jovi thinks that Justin Bieber should be left to make his own mistakes.

The "Livin' On a Prayer" singer knows how hard growing up in the spotlight can be, but doesn't think young stars such as Justin - who has displayed erratic behaviour of late, upsetting his neighbors and being caught smoking marijuana - needs a "lecture" from him.

"Having lived it myself, there's lots I could say to One Direction or Justin Bieber - to any young band at a crossroads, kids who are not even 20 years old and have the whole world looking at them, and are scared because they don't know any better. But you can't give them a lecture. They have to learn it their own way and find their own path. The only thing you can tell young guys like that is that it's going to be OK."

Jon - leader of rockers Bon Jovi, who started their career in 1983 - also says the music industry nearly got too much even for him at one point and he thought about giving it up.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar OdomKhloe Kardashian has put her baby plans on hold because of all of the recent upheavals in her life.

The former X Factor host - who has not been asked to return for a second season - decided not to focus on starting a family with her husband Lamar Odom yet because she wants some time to focus on her marriage following a stressful year.

"Khloe has put her baby plans on hold for the time being, but that's still on her mind - a lot. She got fired from her hosting show, [she's had] complications getting pregnant, Lamar's basketball game was sloppy. Right now the last thing they need to do is another thing to their plate. Instead they'll just take some time to themselves and recharge," a source said.

However, Khloe, 28, is excited about her 32-year-old sister Kim's pregnancy and plans to support her sister in any way she can. "She will be there to support Kim through it all. She'll be at the hospital," an insider added.

The Chicago actress checked herself into a clinic to monitor her ongoing battle with the condition - which can cause high and low mood swings, as well as depression - in April and now the Behind the Candelabra star admits his wife of 12 years is finally on the road to recovery.

"Sometimes you don't think you need any meds at all, and you forget your meds. Then all of a sudden, you get on a real ride. But she's fine. She's got it stabled out. She's doing great and I can't wait to see her," he said.

The 68-year-old actor - who has two children Dylan, 12, and 10-year-old Cary with Catherine - admits the mental health condition is unpredictable and can creep up on you at any time but insists the troublesome time has bought them closer together. "It's a slippery slope, this bipolar stuff," he added.
