Will Smith: Why I Slapped That Reporter

'It was just awkward,' he tells David Letterman on the 'Late Show'

(NEWSER) - Will Smith was quick to clarify to David Letterman last night that he "didn't beat up" the Moscow journalist who tried to kiss him.

Bieber Has a Hard Time Naming All the Continents

Finally gets all seven, but only after a hint

(NEWSER) - Justin Bieber was on the Late Show With David Letterman last night, and in a clip picked up by Gawker and other outlets, the teen heartthrob struggled just a bit with his geography. One of the perks of fame, he explained to Letterman, is that he’s visited “every continent.” Dave jumped on the opportunity, asking him exactly how many of those there are. “Asia, North America, South America, um, Africa, Antarctica, and the North Pole,” Bieber began. After getting buzzed for his wrong answer, he tried “Canada” before coming up with Australia and, finally, Europe—but only after Letterman gave him a hint. More»

Amazon Lost How Much on 99-Cent Gaga Downloads?

More than $3 million, the 'New York Times' estimates

(NEWSER) - Lady Gaga sold a whopping 1.1 million copies of Born This Way in its first week, but 440,000 of those copies went for just 99 cents on Amazon.com . Amazon, however, did pay Gaga's distributor the full price of $8 to $9 per album—which means, the New York Times calculates, the online retailer lost more than $3 million. Of course, New York magazine points out, a big point of the gimmick was to drum up new users for its Cloud Drive service, so the company can just consider those millions "marketing costs." As for Gaga, the move does provide "much fodder for anyone wishing to quibble with the validity of the 1.1 million number," writes Amos Barshad.
