Back when we were talking about the best and worst Christmas songs, a bunch of you spoke up in favor of Wham!'s "Last Christmas." Well, this post is for all of you, and it will blow your mind.

As I write this, the site has 246 different versions - for a total of 17 hours, 20 minutes, and 42 seconds of "Last Christmas." And, if stats like that make you wonder who hasn't covered "Last Christmas," well, they've got that, too.

The songs are even downloadable, so you can make all the versions of the song into a mix CD. Or, you know, a lot of mix CDs. Want to watch a German pop duo take on the song? Just

Taylor Swift's blue eyes pop on the cover of Vogue's February 2012 issue. She posed for photographer Mario Testino inside the issue, pairing a variety of high fashion looks with a guitar - see Taylor's style transformation over the years! She spoke candidly about her career trajectory, an upcoming album, and her high-profile romantic life. Taylor Swift has dated Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner, and even fellow musician John Mayer. Taylor admits to healing her heart through songwriting, and revealed an "earth-shattering" breakup last year inspired her new record. Taylor said in Vogue:

Taylor on the future: "I fret about the future. . . What my next move should be. What the move after that should be. How I am going to sustain this. How do I evolve. I get so ahead of myself. I’m like, ‘What am I going to be doing at 30?’ But there’s no way to know that! So it’s this endless mind-boggling equation that you’ll never figure out. I overanalyze myself into being a big bag of worries."
Taylor on love: "I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid."
Taylor's current relationship status: "I got nothing going on! I just don’t really feel like dating. I really have this great life right now, and I’m not sad and I’m not crying this Christmas, so I am really stoked about that."
Taylor on heartbreak: "There’s just been this earth-shattering, not recent, but absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak, and that will turn out to be what the next album is about. The only way that I can feel better about myself-pull myself out of that awful pain of losing someone-is writing songs about it to get some sort of clarity."

Keira Knightley Compares and Contrasts Costars Jude Law and Michael Fassbender

Allie Merriam — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:12:00 PST

Keira Knightley stars as patient-turned-psychiatrist Sabina Spielrein in David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method, which expands into theaters across the country this week. The film came out in limited release last Fall, and quickly earned notoriety for the racy sex scenes Keira shares with her hot costar Michael Fassbender, who plays Carl Jung.

Yesterday, Keira spoke about working with both Michael and David. Keira shared excitement for the critical acclaim Michael's earned for another daring performance in Shame, a movie she liked quite a bit. She also spoke about her other upcoming projects, Seeking a Friend at the End of the World, the directorial debut from Lorene Scafaria featuring Steve Carell, and a remake of Anna Karenina. The later film sees Keira paired up with director Joe Wright for the third time, after Atonement and Pride & Prejudice, as well as leading man Jude Law. Keira said:

On having reservations about the spanking scenes in DM: "I was 95% going to say yes as soon as my agent said, 'Look, David Cronenberg is going to offer you a film.' . . . I did have reservations about the masochistic scenes. I actually spoke to him about it and said, 'I love the script, but I'm not sure I can do this because of these scenes. I'm not quite sure I want to go there.' And he said, 'If that stops you playing the part, that would be a tragedy so let's just take them out.' And I thought that was an amazing thing for him offer. We just talked and talked, and once he's made it clear he didn't want it to be voyeuristic and sexy, he wanted them to be kind of more clinical, I thought I might as well go for it."
On similarities between Jude and Michael: "No! No. Jude's a proper actor - he's wonderful to work with. He's a proper actor, I mean they all are . . . Michael works in a much more muscular way. Everything turns into muscle memory. He works a script, and works a script. Jude does a lot of theater so he comes from the preparation side - like a rehearsal room. He's really open to it, and he asks a lot of questions on that day. He's just phenomenal. So no there aren't any similarities, but they're all very good actors."
On first-time director Lorene: "She's just fab - she's great. She's completely the reason I think everybody signed up to do the movie. The script was wonderful. It was one of the best scripts I've ever read. The dialogue was brilliant, and the concept behind it was amazing. I haven't seen the finished article yet. I'm seeing it [today] so that's really exciting. She's an amazing woman, an amazing talent. On set, to think it was her first film - you'd never have guessed it. She was so cool, she knew exactly what she wanted, she was unbelievably fast, she was completely amazing. So hopefully it will work!"
On what she's excited to see succeed during award season: "I was really excited about Shame, because given the nature of it and the subject matter of it, quite often those ones get passed by. I think Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady. That performance was amazing. That was very good. I haven't seen The Artist yet, but I'm really looking forward to seeing that."

To read Keira's thoughts on Michael in Shame, working with the "lovely" Steve Carell, and wrapping Anna Karenina, just keep reading.

David Beckham and His Three Boys Return Home to LA

Lauren Turner — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:49:36 PST

David Beckham landed at LAX with Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz yesterday. The entire Beckham family spent the last few weeks in the UK, where they celebrated baby Harper's first Christmas. Their most recent overseas outing on Sunday was just about the boys, though, since David, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz caught a soccer match in Manchester with David's dad, Ted. Victoria joined in on the fun for New Year's Eve, which she spent with her main men at Claridge's Hotel. 2012 kicked off with a bang for the Beckhams since David's shirtless ads for H&M's underwear line were released last week. They have plenty more to look forward to this year now that David has confirmed he'll be staying in LA with the Galaxy instead of joining the Paris Saint-Germain club.

Brad Pitt Puts His Injured Leg Forward For a Day of Pampering

Lauren Turner — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:12:46 PST

Brad Pitt visited a European skin care spa in LA this afternoon. He left with a smile on his face despite needing the help of a cane to walk due to an apparent leg injury. Brad and his family have been spending the last few weeks near their home in California, and the dad of six was spotted picking up groceries with Pax in Los Feliz just after the New Year. Brad drove a motorcycle with a sidecar for the outing. The new ride may have been one of Brad's holiday gifts, which also included the waterfall and surrounding land that Angelina Jolie reportedly gave him as a Christmas and birthday present.

Brad's 2012 is already off to a great start with Oscar buzz surrounding his role in Moneyball. His good friend George Clooney could be nominated for The Descendants too, though George recently said he's not worried about the possibility of a faceoff. George said, "Brad is my pal, and we're a long way from that discussion anyway. But I'd like living in a world where Brad Pitt has an Academy Award."
