The star's hit single 'Baby', which has gone 12 times Platinum since its release in 2010, has been named the highest certified song in American music history.

The 'Boyfriend' heartthrob has now beaten Elton John's double-sided 'Candle in the Wind/Something About the Way You Look Tonight,' which went 11 times platinum back in 1997 and previously held the impressive record.

The recent change made by the Recording Industry Association of America, which incorporates on-demand streaming data when it comes to measuring gold and platinum success, helped Bieber in reaching the feat as 100 streams is now considered equivalent to one download.

While she hasn't revealed the date of the ceremony, in which she will marry Nickelback's frontman, she explained that "the most fun part, so far, has been coming up with the location." When asked if the location was Paris or France, the 'Sk8er Boi' star couldn't stop grinning and joked, "I'm just smiling!"

Several other allusions were made to the country during the chat and they all got the same response from the beauty.

Despite enjoying most of the planning, Lavigne explained that getting people's information for invites has been very stressful: "The one thing that was the pain in the ass was getting everyone's names and addresses and all of that stuff."

Speaking about her music video for 'Here's To Never Growing Up', which she co-wrote with fiancé Chad Kroeger, she explained that there were several ideas for the video direction: "I had my original idea and then we had a bunch of different directors submit concepts. The guy we went with had the idea to do it around prom. I loved that. It's like a throwback."

ABC's three-hour telecast of the event averaged 9.47 million viewers and earned a 3.6 rating/10 share among the key 18-49 age group.

The show aired live from Las Vegas and had a fair amount of drama, from Justin Bieber getting booed while making an acceptance speech to singer Miguel trying to jump between stage platforms and landing awkwardly on an audience member's neck.

Other unusual highlights included 'Bawitdaba' star Kid Rock slamming some of the event's performers' artistic integrity on stage, telling the crowd and viewers alike: "Let's give it up to people lip-synching under pre-recorded music!'

Songstress Taylor Swift walked away with an astounding 8 prizes, while UK boyband One Direction were presented with 3 titles ( Top New Artist, Top Pop Artist and Top Duo/Group).

Speaking from the Billboard Music Awards' 'blue carpet' last night (May 19), the 'Lego House' superstar explained that there was a delay because of his current 'Red' tour with Taylor Swift, but progress is being made:

"I turned it in today. It's (due) early next year. It was going to be this year but I don't finish touring till October and then there's no time to get a plan together. I'm going to spend October, November, December planning and then just smash it out next year."

When asked about recording, Sheeran confessed that it will being towards the end of this summer: "All the songs are written. I'm going in to record them in August. The direction will take shape then."

"The songs are good, which is the main thing. I think you can have good songs and then you can put any sort of production behind it but as long as the songs are good."

Watch Sheeran perform at the awards ceremony here:

The pair are friends and they were recently on stage together to perform with Taio Cruz at the London 2012 Closing Ceremony in August.

The 'Domino' star is currently planning her second album after the success of her debut 'Who You Are' and it seems Tempah could be in her sights for a duet.

When asked by Capital FM if she would like to work with the 'Written In The Stars' man, Jessie J replied:

"I hope so. If we can make it happen. He's a busy guy and I'm a busy girl. We're good friends."

The former Daily Mirror editor and Britain’s Got Talent judge angered the ‘We Found Love’ chart-topper after passing comment on her hairstyle during the Paralympics closing ceremony.

However, the CNN host told the Daily Star that the pair’s brief Twitter war has resulted in the Bajan singer agreeing to appear on his Piers Morgan Tonight show:

“I tweeted that she should go back to her old hairstyle and then she tweeted back that I should grow a dick.

“On the back of that, I asked if I could interview her for my show in the States and she agreed.

“I was up all night sorting it out but I managed to bag an interview out of it.”

The former Oasis guitarist, whose song 'Wonderwall' was covered by Beady Eye at the same event, told Q magazine that he wasn’t exactly impressed with his comedian friend’s rendition of 'I Am The Walrus.'

“I sent him a message straight after the Olympics, saying words to the effect of, 'After two weeks of glory, to have left it to a f***ing junkie in a top hat murdering The Beatles to round off what was a brilliant celebration of Great Britain…'

“He’s on tour at the minute and he plays that message to the crowd every night. Then he calls me on my answering machine – it’s become part of his act.”

The 45-year-old, who regularly appeared as a guest on Russell Brand’s Radio 2 show, then taunted the star about his relationship with Geri Halliwell:

“I don’t answer the phone, because I know what he’s fucking doing. So I get these messages every morning. The people of Weston-Super-Mare are in hysterics, with him saying, “Murdering The Beatles? At least I didn’t dig’ em up and base my career on ‘em.”

“But you know at least I’m not shagging Geri Halliwell. I mean f***ing hell, out of all the Spice Girls – not Ginger.”

London's Olympic Stadium lit up once again for the finale of the Paralympics as Coldplay, Rihanna and Jay-Z hit the stage.

It was the culmination of months of sizzling Olympic sport and it put a cap on years of preparation.

Tweeting whilst watching the event, Jessie J - who performed at the Olympics Closing Ceremony on August 12 - gushed with pride over Great Britain's Olympic efforts. She said:

"Watching the closing ceremony back. WOW what an great show. Best end to an amazing summer of olympics in the UK! So proud of#teamGB :) x."

As previously reported, Jessie J recently announced that she will be holding two book signings later this month to celebrate the launch of her autobiography Nice To Meet You.

The 'Domino' singer will be signing books at Waterstones' Piccadilly store in London on September 27 and then at WHSmith's Bluewater branch in Kent a day later.

The 49-year-old, who is currently working on the follow-up to 2004’s 'Patience,' told Austria’s Kurier.at that he hopes to release the as-yet-untitled record next year:

“I'm back in the studio working very hard and love it. I would say this album is in terms of content somewhere between Faith and Older and is perhaps the most radio-friendly music [I've produced] for a very long time. I'm sure my fans will like it."

The former Wham singer, who recently dedicated a concert in Vienna to the staff who monitored his recovery from pneumonia, went on to defend his decision to perform new single, 'White Light,' at the Olympics closing ceremony:

"The lyrics seemed to me especially appropriate for the occasion. Of course they play on my fight with pneumonia, but the message can also accompany one of the overarching themes of the Olympic Games, namely overcoming adversity and physical stamina."

The Mercury Music Prize winners, who performed 'One Day Like This' at the London 2012 finale, told XFM that they had a competition with the boyband over who could turn up the stereo the loudest.

Pianist Craig Potter said: "We had a bit of a music off with One Direction. They were in the dressing room next door to us, and I think they were rehearsing.

“So we put some music on to relax - we put some Hendrix on. Then they turned their music up, so we turned ours up a little bit more…"

When asked what the ‘One Thing’ stars were listening to, he added: "I think it was one of their tunes? They were definitely practising. We could hear some stomping around. They were lovely guys, actually."

The 90s band have a number of offspring between the five of them and it seems like they could be set for a musical future.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Mel C - who gave birth to a child in 2009 - said that the kids could always form a "supergroup" and if not, then they could always form solo projects. She said:

"There's 11 of them now so it would be quite a big band. A supergroup!"

She continued: "It could happen but if not there's definitely the chance one or two of them could go on to become pop stars."

Speculation has been rife recently about the pair after they were snapped together in public.

The People reports that Halliwell said outside her North London home that their coming together happened quickly.

However, the Spice Girls star seemed somewhat cagey when asked if Brand was her ideal man. She is quoted as saying:

"It's been a whirlwind. All I want is to be in a loving ­relationship. Is he my ideal man? I'm choosy. I want someone who's trustworthy, kind and sweet."

Russell Brand divorced from pop songstress Katy Perry earlier this year after they married in 2010.
