Brad Pitt and Courteney Cox Reunite Over Dinner

Courteney Cox will always be Team Jenn -- but that didn't stop her from enjoying a nice meal with her BFF's ex-husband, Brad Pitt, in Hollywood on Wednesday.

As it turns out, the the film actor, 47, and Cougar Town star, 46, have something in common besides their relationships with Jennifer Aniston. The two share a manager, and they joined a dozen other industry folks at trendy restaurant Beso to celebrate her birthday. Although they didn't sit next to each other, onlookers say there was no awkwardness between Aniston's pal and her famous ex.

"They hugged and kissed when they greeted each other," one eye witness told People. "They were chatting, catching up. They both seemed happy and totally relaxed, very at ease. And they were both smiling the entire time. It didn't seem awkward at all."

Jacob Lusk Sent Packing on American Idol

We say goodbye to Jacob Lusk tonight, as he was the latest contestant on American Idol to get voted off the show. It really wasn’t a surprise since many, myself included, have felt that in recent weeks he just has not impressed as much as he did at the beginning of the season. No doubt he will probably secure some sort of gospel/R&B recording contract though, so no worries all you Jacob fans! In addition to finding out just who would be sent home, we saw AI judge Jennifer Lopez perform her hit ‘On The Floor’, (which Mamacita rocked of course) and heard Lady Antebellum’s latest single, ‘Just a Kiss’ — another sweet ballad. So here’s how it went down…We first saw James Durbin asked by Ryan to stand at the far right side of the stage. He had great performances last night with his take on ‘Closer to the Edge’ by 30 Seconds to Mars and the very emotional ‘Without You’, tears and all. Lauren Alaina was next, who also had solid performances with Carrie Underwood’s ‘Flat on the Floor’ and ‘Unchained Melody’. She was sent to the opposite end of the stage, which left me a bit confused [...]

Although names like Bruno Mars and Oprah Winfrey made the final cut on this year's Time 100 list of the world's most-influential people, among the celebs MTV News spoke to at the ritzy black-tie gala in New York on Tuesday night, all the talk was about Justin Bieber and "Parks and Recreation" funny lady Amy Poehler.

La La Vazquez, with hubby Carmelo Anthony, by her side, said, "Justin Bieber actually loves 'Melo. They're still waiting to have a one-on-one basketball competition so maybe we can make that happen this summer." She continued, "I think it's an honor to be included in such an elite group and be invited to come celebrate. When I heard we got invited, I was like, 'Oh yes, we are going to this event tonight.' "

The Roots' drummer, Questlove, said he totally understands why the Biebs made the list. "I'm excited to see everybody tonight," he said. "I'm very humble to be here. It's too many to mention. I drummed with Bieber before. I think that there might have been a question to why he was included, but it's obvious this is a person that went from YouTube sensation to viral sensation to international superstar — that's gonna be the next level of celebrity."

Leave it to Poehler's "Parks and Rec" co-star Aziz Ansari to write in his own candidate. Asked whether he prefers Bieber or South Korean pop star turned actor Rain, who also made the list, Ansari joked, "I don't know who either of those people are." Adding, "The most influential person to me is probably Waka Flocka Flame. He's on the list, right? I'm pretty sure he was on there."

All jokes aside, Ansari had only love for Poehler. calling her a "very inspirational person; tremendously talented and really a leader in her field."

Poehler's former "Saturday Night Live" co-star Seth Meyers also had tons of love for her. "For me personally, Amy Poehler's the most influential on the list," he said. "I certainly wouldn't be invited to this without Amy Poehler, so that's a big step. Mostly just like providing coattails for me to ride on for years," he joked. "That's pretty key; that influenced me a lot."

About Bieber, Meyers later added: "I quote him a lot. I say 'Baby, baby, baby' a lot more than I used to. I work in a maternity ward in my off-time."

Lady Gaga picked the perfect place to unveil yet another song from her upcoming Born This Way album. During a show in Guadalajara, Mexico, on Tuesday night, Mother Monster did a slow, sexy flamenco seduction at the piano as she pulled back the curtain on the funky bilingual outlaw love tune "Americano."

A YouTube video of the performance shows Gaga sitting at a piano, playing the song's seductive Latin melody and opening with some lines in Spanish about her rebel spirit: "Mis canciones son de la revolucion/ Mi corazon late por mi generacion," she sings at the outset, which translates to "My songs are of the revolution/ My heart beats for my generation."

The next bit will surely cause some serious discussion in Gagaland, as the singer teases, "If you love me/ We can marry on the West Coast/ On a Wednesday/ En el verano o en agosto (in the summer or in August)."

The emphatic chorus has her repeating the phrase "I don't speak your language, oh no," with mentions of Jesus ("Jesus Cristo") and the titular "Americano," before she busts into a section where she growls "Aaaahhh America, Americano" repeatedly.

By the end, Gaga seems ready to hop on the controversial motorcycle on the cover of Born This Way and hit the road for some "Born to be Wild" action, as she warns, "Don't you try to catch me/ No, no, no/ I'm living on the edge of/ Living on the edge of the law, law, law."

After mostly performing on piano, the band kicks in, joining her for a full-on Latin jazz breakdown to bring the tune home.
