Katie Holmes & Suri Cruise: Beverly Hills Beauties

Making certain to keep in the public view as her new movie just hit theaters, Katie Holmes was spotted tending to her week-ending errands in Beverly Hills on Friday (August 26).

Still sporting her faux tattoo of two chains running around her wrist, the "Mad Money" mommy cutely held daughter Suri Cruise's hand as the two lovely ladies made their way to a local office building for a quick meeting before continuing about with the day.

As for Katie's newly released film, the 32-year-old stars alongside Guy Pearce and Bailee Madison in a horror/thriller titled "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark".

The Troy Nixey directed work is about "a young girl sent to live with her father and his new girlfriend - after which she discovers creatures in her new home who want to claim her as one of their own."

Petra Ecclestone Dines With Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Fergie, and the Hiltons Prior to Her Lavish Wedding

Petra Ecclestone and her finacé, James Stunt, were joined tonight by friends and family for dinner and drinks at Villa Aurelia in Rome. The bride-to-be stepped out wearing an elegant, white, floor length gown for the rehearsal dinner and Petra's rumored to be wearing a custom made Vera Wang during tomorrow's ceremony. The couple's lavish wedding is being held at Italy's historic Odescalchi Castle, where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes also tied the knot five years ago. 250 guests are expected to be on hand, including Paris and Nicky Hilton, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, as well as their mother, the former Dutchess of York, Fergie. Recording artist Eric Capton is reportedly serenading Petra and James during their first dance followed by a private concert from The Black Eyed Peas. Petra's father Bernie, billionaire and CEO of Formula One Management, reportedly paid the group over a $1 million dollars to perform. The newlyweds can look forward to spending more time in the States as Petra recently purchased Aaron Spelling's former Beverly Hills mansion for $85 million.

Britney Spears Drops Official 'Till The World Ends' Remix

Just days after it was leaked on Friday, Britney Spears and her femme fatales, Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha, dropped their official remix of "Till the World Ends."

The new version of the song was produced by Dr. Luke and Dream Machine. Brit half-whispers " 'Till the World Ends' remix" before the beat kicks in and Nicki hits her verse hard. She spits fierce lines like, "Sniff, sniff, cries/ I done slayed your whole entire f---ing life."

Then Britney's sex-kitten vocals kick in for the song's first verse. "That's Britney, bitch! I'm Nicki Minaj and that's Ke$ha," the Queens MC declares before K sings the chorus. The beat is harder, the loops are sassier and the song is grimier than the original version, which was the second single from Femme Fatale. The newly added dubstep portion takes the one from "Hold It Against Me" to a new level by adding in bass-heavy synths.

Ke$ha, of course, wrote the track for Britney, and the ladies certainly don't seem to mind sharing the spotlight with each other. The official track isn't much different than the version that leaked over the weekend, though Spears did have something brand-new to share with her fans just as the song dropped on iTunes and streamed on her website.

Spears tweeted the artwork for the single, which features the original press photo of Spears along with separate photos of Nicki on the left and Ke$ha on the right. Spears wrote, "@NickiMinaj @Keshasuxx Too much fierceness for one cover! Thanks for lending your voices girls... #TTWEREMIX — Brit"

Spears and Minaj have been hanging out a lot in the lead-up to their summer tour. They hung out at the Factory nightclub on Friday night after Minaj's show in Los Angeles. Spears later wrote, "Early rehearsal after a late night with my girl @NickiMinaj. Can't WAIT to get out on the road with you."

Hurricane Irene Forces NYC Concert Cancellations

Dave Matthews Band Caravan events, Afro-Punk Fest with Das Racist, final Summerstage show and many more succumb to approaching storm.

New Yorkers: Trade your earplugs for some frozen dinners and a couple seasons of your favorite TV show on DVD, because chances are the concert you bought tickets to this weekend has been canceled.

With Hurricane Irene tearing her way up the East Coast, many bands and venues that had shows planned in areas likely to be hit by the bad weather conditions are either rescheduling or canceling the gigs in anticipation of the storm. Forecasts are predicting the hurricane will affect states including South Carolina and Virginia and on all the way up to the eastern coast of Canada through Monday.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has declared a state of emergency, and the city's transit system will be completely suspended beginning at noon on Saturday, which is having a direct impact on previously scheduled NYC concerts. A spokesperson for the Bowery Presents confirmed to MTV News that the Dave Matthews Band Caravan events at Governors Island on Saturday and Sunday have been postponed. New dates have not been announced, but ticketholders are being encouraged to attend the event on Friday (August 26) instead.

Of course, it's also unclear whether bands that were set to play alongside DMB at this weekend's concerts will be around to perform at a later date. The Roots were supposed to perform Saturday, and Gogol Bordello were slated to perform Sunday.

The Afro-Punk Fest was also a casualty of Governor Cuomo rescinding all event permits for the weekend. "The Afro-Punk festival has been barred from holding any public assembly in Commodore Barry Park this weekend. Afro-Punk staff have been meeting with officials and sponsors to try and avoid cancellation but have had to cancel this weekend's festival due to safety concerns," the festival planners said in a statement. "The event organizers are regrouping to plan the next steps and will keep the public updated."

Himanshu Suri of Das Racist, who was to perform at the festival, apologized to his fans over Twitter and said he might fly out to St. Louis early to avoid missing that gig as well. Fellow Afro-Punk performer Chaz Bundick of Toro Y Moi similarly apologized in a tweet.

Fans planning to see ZZ Top perform in Westbury, New York, on Sunday are in luck, because the show has only been delayed until Monday, August 29, Pollstar is reporting. But fans that can't make the new date will be refunded; the same goes for ticketholders who planned to attend Saturday's now-canceled Bill Medley with Paul Revere & the Raiders concert.

The last of the free Central Park Summerstage shows this season, set for Sunday, has been rescheduled. Jagged Edge, Avant and Melanie Fiona will perform on September 21 instead, according to Brooklyn Vegan.

On Thursday, the Museum of Modern Art's PS1 announced on Twitter that their Saturday night Warm Up outdoor music series would go on in spite of the forecast. But on Friday afternoon, they tweeted a follow-up, saying, "Sadly, we have to cancel."

At press time, many Broadway shows were set to go on, though Entertainment Weekly reported that all Saturday and Sunday performances of "The Lion King" and "Mary Poppins" have been canceled.

Many events are being canceled and rescheduled outside of the New York area, as well. Journey's concert at Jiffy Lube Live on Sunday has been postponed to September 4, MTV News confirmed with a Live Nation spokesperson. As a result of the date change, Foreigner will be unavailable to perform on the new date. (All tickets will be honored on the new date.) Unfortunately, fans planning to attend Saturday's Silopanna Music Festival in Crownsville, Maryland, are out of luck, because the festival has been canceled and won't be rescheduled, according to Pollstar. (Refunds are being issued at points of purchase.)

Kenny Chesney's Sunday concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, has been moved up to Friday (August 26), the country singer announced on his website.

The Boston Herald is reporting that Sunday's Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival show at the Comcast Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts, has been moved back two days to August 30. And the Essex Music Festival in Essex, Massachusetts, has been rescheduled to September 3, The Gloucester Times said.

Lady Gaga VMA Wish List: Balloons, Bones And More

Little Monsters make predictions (and suggestions) for Gaga's fashion and opening performance come Sunday.

When Lady Gaga was asked about plans for her opening performance at Sunday's 2011 Video Music Awards, she told MTV News, "I'm pretty good at knowing what my fans want me to do."

Mother Monster is certainly in tune with the needs of her Little Monsters, and if anyone could guess what the unpredictable pop star has planned on Sunday, it's them.

Some fans predict that her 2011 performance will be an extension of 2009's blood-soaked "Paparazzi" number. One of Gaga's Twitter followers wrote, "I reckon it's gonna be quite eery + scary, and full of blood!" Many thought it would mimic her VMA promos, which had a jazzy style and Gaga playing piano.

Others thought she would tap into themes from her "Yoü and I" video, with several fans suggesting she'll appear as her mermaid alter ego, Yuyi. When MTV News correspondent Jim Cantiello talked to fans in Times Square during "MTV First: Lady Gaga" last week, one silver-bra-clad Little Monster said, "I'm hoping for some mermaids and some fish," while @killermuses predicted she would perform "inside of a giant aquarium."

One thing fans definitely want to see is a guy named Jo Calderone. @Steveo_010 tweeted, "Hopefully she invites @JoCalderone as her 'date.' " @JustJustan predicts she'll accept awards as her male alter.

In terms of what song she'll perform, many fans guessed "Yoü and I," while others were pulling for "Heavy Metal Lover," "Bloody Mary" and "Government Hooker" with the possibility of a medley.

No one will ever forget the meat dress Gaga wore at last year's VMAs, so speculation about her potential fashion is widespread. @MonsterStarGaga thinks the singer will wear a "bone dress"; other bets were on outfits made of lights, leaves and balloons. A few fans like @rACHEL_hALE13 suggested the most shocking thing for Gaga to do would be to "dress 'normal' no costumes, just simple!" (Since Gaga promised to make a "statement" with her fashion, we're guessing simple is out of the question.)

Or maybe Gaga would consider a simple look for one outfit, but she will likely change multiple times. When asked to predict how many times she would change, one blond-Gaga-wig-wearing fan in Times Square guessed: "17."

Will Lady Gaga take the stage alone or is a duet in the cards? Fans predicted Beyoncé would join her to perform "Telephone," and @mafeux suggested she "invite @alyankovic to perform a duet of 'Perform This Way.' "

Who knows what is going to happen? But we can expect, as @tabithadavis17 tweeted, "On a scale of 1-10 for outrageousness...I'd say 100."

The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sunday from Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following the Selena Gomez-hosted pre-show at 8. See the list of nominees, revisit last year's highlights and vote for Best New Artist by visiting VMA.MTV.com.

Usher To Donate Gadhafi Money To Charity

'I will be donating all of my personal proceeds...to various human rights organizations,' singer says of concert linked to Libyan dictator.

R&B superstar Usher announced Friday (March 4) that he was donating to various charities proceeds from appearing at a private event at St. Barts linked to Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, according to a statement made to the Associated Press.

The Grammy award winner's renouncement comes after similar announcements from singers Mariah Carey, Nelly Furtado, and Beyoncé, all of whom were revealed to have performed at private concerts linked to the Middle Eastern leader, who has faced open revolt and major political uprisings since February.

"I am sincerely troubled to learn about the circumstances surrounding the Nikki Beach St. Bart's event that took place on New Year's Eve 2009," Usher said of the concert, at which he appeared alongside Beyoncé but did not perform. "I will be donating all of my personal proceeds from that event to various human rights organizations."

Usher has already begun the process, having made a donation to Amnesty International, the AP reports. The exact size of the donation is not known.

The New Year's Eve gig was reportedly for Moammar's fourth son Muastassim, who an unnamed music industry source told MTV News has a history of throwing lavish parties "jammed" with supermodels.

Beyoncé, who sang at the event, donated all proceeds from her performance to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, established in the wake of the Haitian earthquake.

"All monies paid to Beyoncé for her performance at a private party at Nikki Beach St. Barts on New Year's Eve 2009, including the commissions paid to her booking agency, were donated to the earthquake relief efforts for Haiti over a year ago," the "Halo" singer's publicist said in a statement to The Huffington Post. "Once it became known that the third-party promoter was linked to the Qaddafi family, the decision was made to put that payment to a good cause."

Singer Nelly Furtado tweeted February 28 that she plans to make similar amends.

"In 2007, I received 1million$ from the Gadhafi clan to perform a 45 min. show for guests at a hotel in Italy," she tweeted. "I am going to donate the $."

The leader of Libya since a successful military coup in 1969, Gadhafi has reportedly lost control of much of his country as a result of widespread uprisings. The United Nations voted unanimously to refer the dictator to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.
