Katy Perry sang with The Rolling Stones over the weekend, Barbara Walters announces her retirement, 24 returns, and more headlines!
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard were photographed showing PDA Saturday night as they left a secret Rolling Stones show at LA's Echoplex. Johnny and Amber costarred in the 2011 film The Rum Diary but have kept any possible romance out of the spotlight until now. Amber was able to mingle with the Stones, thanks to Johnny's longtime friendship with Keith Richards. Johnny and Amber were among the 700 people who saw the Stones after the band announced the show on Twitter earlier in the afternoon.
Amber and Johnny were just two of many celebrity guests last night. Also out to see Keith, Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts, and Ron Wood do their thing were Gwen Stefani, Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen, Owen Wilson, and Maria Shriver. Bruce Willis, who has a vacation home near Keith at Parrot Cay in Turks and Caicos, also attended with his wife, Emma Heming. Stones wives and girlfriends Patti Hansen and L'Wren Scott and 65-year-old Ron's wife of four months, 35-year-old Sally Humphreys, were there, too. The Stones got in last night's show before kicking off their "50 & Counting" world tour this Friday at LA's Staples Center.
Celebrities and rock stars joined up to help out with the 12/12/12 concert benefiting Hurricane Sandy victims in NYC last night. Katie Holmes, Kristen Stewart, and Blake Lively appeared at the event, which raised money for the Robin Hood Relief Fund. Blake donned a bright orange Isabel Marant dress, while Katie picked blue Tom Ford and Kristen wore a neon yellow Jonathan Simkhai getup.
Katie joined Jason Sudeikis to present a video called "Red Hook Rising," bringing attention to those affected in Brooklyn. Kristen, meanwhile, praised New Jerseyans and introduced Jon Bon Jovi. Blake spoke about Connecticut and brought out Chris Martin, who performed with Michael Stipe. Bruce Springsteen, Alicia Keys, Kanye West, and many more musicians performed at the 12/12/12 concert. Paul McCartney gave a sensational performance when he joined up with the surviving members of Nirvana, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, to perform a new song called "Cut Me Some Slack."
The concert was broadcast both on TV and for free in movie theaters in the tri-state area, so Sandy victims had a place to enjoy the music. Superstorm Sandy left many in New York and New Jersey homeless and without power after it drove through the area in late October.
Kristen Stewart, Katie Holmes, and Blake Lively lent their star power to the 12/12/12 benefit for victims of superstorm Sandy in NYC last night. Aside from the leading ladies, a veritable who's who of musicians took the stage. We're talking Paul McCartney, Kanye West, and even a Nirvana reunion. We're checking out the highlights from last night in this PopSugar Rush.

Now that everyone's lives are somewhat back to normal (read: Fashion Month is over), perhaps we'll all have a little extra time to thumb through some of the stunning November 2012 issues of our favorite magazines.
This month's selection of images runs the gamut from colorful and sparkly, like Taylor Swift on the cover of Glamour, to clean, spare, and high-end — Aymeline Valade's cover of Vogue Japan, on which she wears a piece from Raf Simons's debut couture collection for Christian Dior, is a perfect example.
A look at all the covers revealed thus far here, in the gallery.
Small screen stars came out in force last night for the NYC premiere of HBO's Boardwalk Empire. The show ranked among our five must-watch Fall series, and we're loving the eye candy to be shown on Sunday's debut episode. True Blood's Joe Manganiello showed some love for HBO during a break from his Fashion Week rounds with the girlfriend he's so fond of, and we grabbed a minute at a recent Alice + Olivia party to get the scoop on his next season. The Entourage crew was well represented with Adrian Grenier and Mark Wahlberg, who's front and center in the new trailer for The Fighter. Mark also stole a minute to catch up with Diddy. Steve Buscemi was the star of the evening, but he still managed to greet his old Sopranos costars James Gandolfini, Edie Falco, and Lorraine Bracco. Mick Jagger even made a cameo with his lady friend L'Wren Scott, while over in London, his bandmate Keith Richards grabbed a meal with Johnny Depp.

Shine a light on this news: Martin Scorsese is teaming up with Mick Jagger again, only this time it's for TV. The Oscar-winning director and legendary rocker are reportedly developing a new series for HBO called History of Music, following two friends through the music biz over 40 years. Terence Winter, who wrote for The Sopranos, is also on board, and Scorsese would have a chance to direct the pilot if production goes that far. A behind-the-scenes look at the music industry would be a perfect fit for HBO (assuming it'll be a little grittier than Entourage), and considering how psyched I am for Scorsese's Boardwalk Empire, I'm on board with this one already too.
The stars of Shutter Island gathered in NYC last night for their first American premiere. Michelle Williams and Leonardo DiCaprio joined Martin Scorsese on the red carpet, as they promoted their film that follows in the tradition of mental hospital thrillers. The trio was also together last weekend for a screening in Berlin, and Leo made time afterwards to take his girlfriend Bar Refaeli out in Germany. Leo's talked about working with Martin in Parade and Esquire, and he was happy to speak more about their partnership. "He really gives actors ownership of their characters and almost finds the emotional narrative through the actors that he hires," Leo said. "That's so empowering and it makes you trust yourself as an actor and go places that you maybe, normally wouldn't."

HBO is hosting a special tonight to celebrate the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 25th Anniversary, and the line-up is star-studded. U2, Metallica, Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, and other acts each have a segment of the show where they'll be rocking their music, along with a few tunes by other artists who have inspired their work.
I'm glad to see Bruce and his boys here after hearing they might not perform together anytime soon, but what I'm most psyched to watch is the evening's unique musical pairings: Stevie Wonder and John Legend are teaming up to perform "The Way You Make Me Feel," Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band and Billy Joel have a duet to "New York State of Mind," and U2, Mick Jagger, and the Black Eyed Peas are coming together for "Gimme Shelter." Awesome! And those are just a sampling of the many collaborations.
The only downside: the show is four hours long (ugh). I don't know if I'll be able to sit through the whole thing without getting fidgety. Still, I'm programming it in my TiVo, so I can watch at my own leisure.
The concert airs at 8 p.m. EST/PST. Will you tune in? Which musical group are you most excited to see perform?
