T.I.
tells Harvey and Dax it's a joke that people are calling him homophobic for saying certain gays just can't take a joke.

And Harvey makes the case that Michael Jackson is worth more dead than alive to his children ... which makes you wonder why the D.A. wants Conrad Murray to pay MJ's kids $100 million.

And no one is buyin' what Miley Cyrus is sellin' -- that she was just being a "smart-ass" when she said she's a pothead.

(0:45) Miley Cyrus calls herself a pothead on video -- but claims it was just a joke. Anybody buying it after her salvia fiasco?
(15:45) Seriously -- why don't people just admit they smoke pot? Harvey thinks booze is so much worse.
(12:01) Prosecutors want Murray to pay MJ's kids $100 mil -- even though MJ's estate made hundreds of millions after his death.
(12:40) One of the best criminal defense lawyers around, Richard Hirsch, says giving Murray a max sentence is "way out of line."
(21:00) Hirsch gives us the "shortest answer we've ever gotten from a lawyer in the six years of TMZ."
(30:00) T.I. calls in to defend his statements in Vibe about the gay community -- we he says were misunderstood.
(33:10) T.I. says all groups take themselves too seriously, including African American groups.
(40:00) The Playboy lawsuit -- douchey, or the douchiest?

Beyonce Invites J. Cole Over For A 'Party' In New Video

Beyoncé is known as one of the industry's hardest-working pop stars — even when she's expecting. A mere week and a half since dropping her boy-band tribute video for "Love on Top," the pop titan has unveiled the visual for her J. Cole remix of "Party" on Wednesday night's (October 26) episode of BET's "106 & Park."

"Party" takes viewers back to an old-school backyard celebration full of colorful bikinis, freestyle dancing and a few familiar faces, including sister Solange Knowles and former Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland. Throughout the video, B lets loose, playing a sort of party host. If she isn't lounging in beach chairs, she's dancing among her friends or mowing the yawn. Yes, Beyoncé is multitasking!

And it wouldn't be a celebration without an appearance from J. Cole, the guest MC behind the remix of the Kanye West-produced tune. Midway through the video, the Roc Nation signee pulls up to the party with his ride glimmering brightly in the sun and spits his verse in the parking lot.

B fans learned there would be a clip for "Party" back in August, when the mom-to-be was spotted in New Jersey's Oakdale Mobile Home Park. Probably due to her impending motherhood, Queen B shot a slew of videos for cuts from her album, 4, ahead of time. "Party" follows previous clips for "Love on Top," "Countdown," "1+1," "Run the World (Girls)" and "Best Thing I Never Had."

Jessica Simpson Pays a Visit to Lady Gaga's Holiday Workshop

Jessica Simpson bundled herself up in a fuzzy coat and boots for a visit to Barneys in NYC today with Eric Johnson. The luxury retailer has temporarily transformed its Manhattan outpost into Lady Gaga's Workshop for the holiday season. A collection of items, curated by Gaga herself, fill the shelves of the store's entire fifth floor like coffee table books, outrageous ornaments, pearl-encrusted teacups, and even one-of-a-kind stiletto-inspired Christmas stockings - take a peek inside "Gaga's Workshop!"

Jessica spent her Thanksgiving holiday in Boston with Eric's family, and now the pair have traveled to the Big Apple to get a jump on their holiday shopping. The couple have lots to be thankful for with the news that Jessica is expecting their first child in 2012. The new year looks like it will be full of activity for Jessica. In addition to giving birth, she's also launching her new reality show, Fashion Star, though it seems rumors of a $4 million contract with Weight Watchers were false.

Kesha has joined forces with the Human Rights Campaign to help celebrate National Coming Out Day on Tuesday (October 11).

The pop singer created a special message T-shirt, featuring a purple zebra, that proclaims "We R Who We R," the title of her hit anthem about individuality. The shirts sell for $35, with all proceeds supporting the HRC's work to achieve equality for the LGBT community.

According to the HRC website, only 1,000 shirts will be produced.

Others are also using the day to bring awareness to LGBT issues. Several notable celebrities will be honored by the Equality Forum, which is hosting an event and profiling notable LGBT members in pop culture.

As LGBT History Month rolls on throughout October, Ricky Martin, Wanda Sykes, "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy and Pedro Zamora, a former "The Real World" castmember turned AIDS activist, all will be profiled by the organization.

"We're the only minority worldwide that's not taught history at home, in school or religious institutions," said Malcolm Lazin, Equality Forum's founder and executive director. "Like every group that's been marginalized, it really helps to make the case why we should take real pride in ourselves and our community."

Since launching the program five years ago, over 200 icons have been profiled, including Jane Lynch, Lady Gaga and Neil Patrick Harris. Lazin called LGBT month "empowering and life affirming."

The message comes amid increased awareness about young people being bullied, including MTV's A Thin Line campaign. The MTV film "DISconnected," which premiered Monday night, focuses on issues in a world where technology controls personal lives.

"I see the viciousness of people every day," said "Jersey Shore" star Vinny Guadagnino on the "DISconnected" after show. "I kind of want to be a soldier in the field, so to speak, and try to combat the negativity with a positive message. I want to help open people's eyes up, like this movie does, to the negativity."

On Sunday night, some of the biggest names in the music industry hit up the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas and decided that sparkles and sequins make for the perfect additions to any red carpet get-up. Well, it is Sin City after all.

Taylor Swift always seems to bring some of that Nashville sparkle to any red carpet. She arrived at the show in a pale-hued, sequined Elie Saab gown. Nicki Minaj showed off her signature sense of style in her baby-blue, body-hugging spandex Mark Fast catsuit.

Selena Gomez turned up the style dial in a sexy, cut-out black Dolce & Gabbana gown that she paired with red strappy sandals with sparkly bow detailing. Like Gomez, Ke$ha opted for some cut-out detailing in her sparkly, slate-gray dress with tulle skirt. Rihanna looked white hot in her men's tailored Max Azria suit, which she kept sexy and feminine by not buttoning her shirt all the way.

Fergie went S&M chic in her little black bandage-type dress by Hervé Léger. Nicole Kidman also wore black. She paired a casual braid hairstyle with a long black gown and Keith Urban. British pop cutie Kyle Minogue looked funky in her little black lacey dress. Inside the show, Britney Spears sat in the audience wearing a skimpy black dress of her own, her hair in loose curls, with little-to-no accessories.

While some stars kept the color scheme low-key, Keri Hilson decided to stand out in her billowy little yellow dress paired with a turquoise-colored belt. Kelly Rowland showed off some of her best assets in a body-hugging, bright pink bandage dress.

The fellas also looked tight on the carpet. Joe Jonas wore all black with white sneakers, Ne-Yo paired his periwinkle suit with a Yankees cap and Justin Bieber wore black tuxedo pants with a gold-lamé tuxedo jacket.

Which stars' styles caught your eye at the Billboard Music Awards? Tell us in the comments.
