Kevin Spacey was among the stars who paid tribute:


3. "Mean Girls" celebrates its 10th anniversary

4. Beyonce and Jay Z announce summer concert tour

Call it The Mr. and Mrs. Carter Show -- Beyonce and Jay Z are hitting the road this summer for a husband-wife "On the Run" tour. Concerts kick off June 25 in Miami and continue through Aug. 5 in San Francisco. Will you be getting tickets?


5. Oprah Winfrey considers Clippers bid

After the NBA gave Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling a lifetime ban for racist comments he made in a recorded conversation, Commissioner Adam Silver said he would call on the owners to vote to force Sterling to sell the team. It didn't take long for a list of suitors to express interest -- including Oprah Winfrey, who's considering making a bid with media mogul David Geffen and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison to buy the team.


6. Jennifer Lawrence named FHM's sexiest woman in the world

A week after Lupita Nyong'o was named "Most Beautiful" person in the world by People magazine, Jennifer Lawrence landed at the top of FHM's list of the 100 sexiest women in the world. The mag cited her sparking a hair trend with her pixie cut, her roles in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and "American Hustle" and her self-deprecating sense of humor as reasons for giving her the No. 1 spot.

7. Emma Stone's lip-sync battle with Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon has done these battles on the "Tonight Show" before (remember Paul Rudd's?) but this has got to be the best one yet. Emma Stone, promoting "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," brought her A game and completely killed it with "Hook" by Blues Traveler and DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win." All she does is win, indeed -- and all you need to do is watch it.


8. Willie Nelson awarded fifth-degree black belt on his 81st birthday

Don't mess with Willie Nelson -- the country music icon received his fifth-degree black belt in the martial art of Gong Kwon Yu Sul on Monday night in Austin, Texas, just before he turned 81 years old. He's been training for this for two decades. (And you thought all he did was sing and smoke pot.)

10. Rights battle over Grace Kelly biopic starring Nicole Kidman

A battle is brewing over "Grace of Monaco," even as the film is about to open at the glitzy Cannes Film Festival later this month.

Variety reports that Harvey Weinstein is considering dropping the U.S. distribution rights to the Olivier Dahan-directed biopic because he is still unsatisfied with the final version of the film. Weinstein reportedly wants the film to spend more time on Grace Kelly's days in Hollywood and to provide further context on the political situation in Monaco.
