Robin Thicke Supports Paula Patton at '2 Guns' World Premiere

Leading stars Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington also grace the red carpet rolled out in front of SVA Theatre in New York City.

"2 Guns" threw its star-studded world premiere in New York City on Monday, July 29. Paula Patton, who is tapped to portray sexy DEA Agent Deb in the Baltasar Kormakur film, looked radiant as she walked the red carpet in a Basil Soda plunging gown. For the night, the 37-year-old beauty was accompanied by her singer husband, Robin Thicke.

Leading men Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg were also on hand for their latest action movie. While the former opted for a casual look in a plain black shirt, dark pants and running shoes, the latter suited up for the special occasion held at SVA Theatre. Rapper 50 Cent and Karina Smirnoff also showed their support for the film by attending the event.

Slated to hit theaters on August 2, the adaptation of the Boom! Studios comic series tracks two operatives from competing bureaus who are forced on the run. Working undercover as members of a narcotics syndicate, each man distrusts his partner, but is eventually forced to rely on each other as they are suddenly disavowed by their superiors and wanted to be jailed.

James Marsden, Bill Paxton, Edward James Olmos and Robert John Burke, who all graced the red carpet at the N.Y. premiere, are included in the cast ensemble for supporting roles.

Prior to the premiere, Wahlberg stopped by "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and "Live! with Kelly and Michael" to promote "2 Guns", which recently unleashed a new trailer via IGN and a featurette featuring Paula Patton via Hello Beautiful.

Justin Bieber's Tour Bus Turns Up Drugs

Marijuana and drug paraphernalia were seized in the tour bus as it passed the Michigan-Canada border.

A search inside Justin Bieber's tour bus turned up marijuana when authorities stopped it as it passed along the border of Michigan and Canada, right on Ambassador Bridge. A drug-sniffing dog was able to detect the presence of drugs on board. 

According to Chief Customs and Border Protection Officer Ken Hammond, weed and drug paraphernalia were subsequently uncovered from the search. After the items were seized, the driver was issued a citation and the passengers, who did not include Bieber, were eventually released. 

This is not his tour bus' first brush with a drug-related controversy. Back in April, it turned up a "small amount" of narcotics and a taser after it was searched in the Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden where Bieber was performing a leg of his "Believe" world tour. 

A month after that, Bieber was spotted smoking weed while riding on a segway inside his Calabasas gated community which outraged his neighbors as he apparently smoked the joint right in front of the neighborhood kids. 

As for the Ambassador Bridge raid, Biebs follows in the footsteps of another popular artist, Rihanna, whose tour bus also encountered a similar incident back in March. A search of RiRi's entourage of ten tour buses was able to uncover cannabis, found in the possession of one of the passengers which also did not include the artist.

Avicii Premieres 'Wake Me Up' Music Video

The disk jockey unveils a Ralph Lauren brand placement-heavy clip on Vevo in support of his latest single.

Swedish DJ Avicii premieres the Mark Seliger and CB Miller-directed music video for "Wake Me Up", the first single off his forthcoming debut album "#TRUE" set to arrive in September. The track features vocals from soul singer/rapper Aloe Blacc and guitar instrumentals from Mike Einziger of Incubus.

The four-and-a-half-minutes visuals feature two sisters, a little girl and a young lady who ventures out from their little home in the countryside to the big city. As she arrives on a horse, she comes into hordes of other soul-searching folks bearing the same Avicii logo as hers and her younger sibling, whom the big sis goes back for and fetches, having found the place where they belong.

As they celebrate finding their rightful place, they join a rave party similar to Avicii's massive outdoor festival performances. Being a brand ambassador of clothing brand Ralph Lauren's Denim & Supply, the clip is rife with brand placements.

Apart from "Wake Me Up", another "#TRUE" cut and potential hit for Avicii is "ID (Lay Me Down)", a collaboration track with glam-pop artist Adam Lambert and musician Nile Rodgers. The disco song, which he has previously played at various music festivals in recent weeks, is a feel-good tune that showcases the "American Idol" alum's powerful vocals.

"#TRUE" will also contain tracks featuring such acts as Imagine Dragons and Alison Krauss & Union Station.

James Blunt Accidentally Emails 'the Whole of the U.K.' About New Single

The 'You're Beautiful' singer gets heavily criticized for sending email that contains the details of his new single, 'Bonfire Heart'.

Millions of people around the U.K. expressed their annoyance after receiving an email that urged them to listen to James Blunt's new single, "Bonfire Heart", despite not subscribing to his mailing list. "I'd like you to be the first to hear my new single," the email subject read.

"So... Just for you... Here's the first single from my new album...!" he wrote. The email also included a link to the new song, which Blunt said was "about love, life, fear and hope... and more than anything, you... and me..."

The email prompted a wave of criticism on Twitter. "If you receive an email with a link to the new James Blunt single, don't click on it. It's a link to the new James Blunt single!" a Twitter user said. "Let me see if I've got this right. If we want porn we have to opt IN, but if we don't want James Blunt we have to opt OUT?" another user tweeted.

Scottish singer Nina Nesbitt was one of million others who found the email annoying. "Great marketting from James Blunt's team I must say. Email the whole of the UK!" Nesbitt wrote.

Blunt later addressed the situation on his own Twitter page, writing, "Oops... Just emailed the whole of the UK by mistake! Ha!"

Warner Music explained that the incident happened due to a "clerical error." A spokesperson for the recording company said, "The email was accidentally serviced to some users who had subscribed to mailing lists for other Warner Music artists."

Produced by OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, "Bonfire Heart" will be featured in Blunt's new album "Moon Landing". The album is slated to arrive in the U.S. on November 5. "This is a much more personal album, and also quite back to basics," Blunt said of his upcoming release.

"It's about me and Tom [Rothrock], the producer, finding where the story all started and where we are now. It's an album about dreams, longing, first love. About looking in the mirror and seeing the boy you were, the man you are -and learning to be comfortable with that, flaws and all," the 39-year-old singer added.

The Wanted Accused of Drenching a Man With Champagne

Authorities are called after members of The Wanted allegedly throw champagne from their second-floor hotel room to a passerby and verbally abuse the drenched man.

The Wanted's members are accused of throwing champagne from their second-floor room to a passerby during a wild party at the Marylebone Hotel in London. The incident reportedly took place during Jay McGuiness' birthday celebration a few days ago. Dr Todd Swift, who claimed that he was drenched with champagne, called the police following the incident.

"What sort of example are they setting to their young fans? I came out of the gym and was walking down the street. Suddenly I was hit with a lot of liquid," Swift told The Sun. He added, "It was not, as the police claim, a glass of champagne. It was a lot of liquid. It went all over my hat, jacket, shirt and face. I looked up to the second floor and there were three young guys laughing at me. One of them said, 'P*** and beer, mate.' "

The Canadian-born poet and screenwriter also claimed that the partygoers verbally abused him. They allegedly called him Barack Obama because of his accent. McGuiness, Max George, Nathan Sykes, Tom Parker and Siva Kaneswaran, however, could dodge the law.

The police said that the boyband's members could not be charged because there were no sufficient evidences to support the allegation. "Police were called at around 12:20 P.M. on Thursday, July 25, to a report of a man having been verbally threatened and having had a liquid substance thrown over him at a hotel in Marylebone," a spokesperson for Scotland Yard said.

"Officers returned the next day, July 26, and spoke to the party identified. It was ascertained that a glass of champagne had been thrown, but there was no evidence of who, if anyone, had actually done this or been involved in any verbal altercation. The victim was informed that without any further evidence there were no further lines of enquiry to pursue," the spokesperson explained.

Adrienne Bailon Made Up Fake Boyfriend to Stop Rob Kardashian From Calling

The ex-Cheetah Girl says the letter Rob read on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' years ago was written by her and some girl friends.

After saying that she regretted having a tattoo of Rob Kardashian, Adrienne Bailon now reveals the truth behind their breakup in 2010. The former Cheetah Girl star says she lied about having a new boyfriend so the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star would leave her alone.

On a 2010 episode of the E! reality TV series, Rob did read an email from Adrienne's supposed new boyfriend, telling him to stop calling her. Now, she reveals that she made that up with her girl pals.

"I was my own fake boyfriend," she admits while co-hosting "The Real". "What all ya'll thought was that it was written by my boyfriend. It was not written by a boyfriend. That was written by me and my girl sitting on the sofa one day deciding to ourselves, 'Well, how can we make him stop calling me?' "

"I got left alone. I think it worked!" Adrienne exclaims. Despite achieving her goal, she did feel some remorse about her dishonesty as she says, "I felt so bad because at the time there was so many rumors that I was dating [rapper] Fabolous. They actually pinned it on him."

Adrienne and Rob started dating in 2008, and broke up after two years of dating. She dumped him after he admitted to cheating on her. "I was embarrassed and basically said, 'I want nothing to do with you,' " she said.

She previously said that she was in the process of removing Rob tattoo. "It's awful. Ten-letter last name, Kardashian. ... It was sized down so much that it actually started almost looking like a black blob," she said. "Now that is a ratchet tattoo. I made a very bad decision. Don't follow my example."

Rob responded to her diss by posting a picture of her in his arms during their happier day. "Me chillin (sic) with some of my shorties way back when," he captioned the photo which also showed Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner.

Last year, Rob broke up with girlfriend Rita Ora. He hinted that she cheated on him.
