Brandy is being sued by an international DJ for allegedly backing out of a deal to write and sing 32 bars worth of music -- after accepting a check for $10,000. DJ Marc Mysterio filed a lawsuit on Friday (August 20th) in L.A. County Superior.

Mysterio has claimed that the singer took the payments back in July, but never came through with the music -- and he's lost out more than $25,000 as a result of it.

Demi Lovato has one regret about her ex, Joe Jonas: that she went public with their relationship so quickly earlier this year. The singer told People magazine that she wished she had kept things hush hush, explaining, "I learned my lesson. It's not very much fun when you break up in a public relationship. So, maybe next time keep a secret."

Though Jonas has gotten a bad dating rap, Lovato defended him saying, "I know that he has the best intentions. Definitely most guys don't have the same intentions that he does."

Meanwhile, Lovato has other things to think about these days. She celebrated her 18th birthday last week in New York City at Buddakan. She also bought her family a house. She tweeted, "For me to give that to my family on my birthday, that was the best present. It's the most beautiful, homey-feeling house. I love it."

Jonas is now rumored to be dating actress Ashley Greene. According to GossipGirls.com, they were spotted kissing in New York last week.

He reportedly broke up with Taylor Swift over the phone.

Eminem has said that he no longer has beef with Mariah Carey. In an interview with Vibe Magazine, Em said, "You know what? I got to be honest. I really don't want to talk about her anymore only just because it's kind of like the last thing I said about her was on 'Cold Wind Blows.' I made the comment, 'Take a look at Mariah next time I inspire you to write a song.' ."

He continued, "I don't want to keep beating a dead horse. I'm not even going to comment about it. I'm done with that whole situation. I said what I had to say. I'm done."

Eminem also added that although he is the biggest selling artist of 2010, he doesn't consider himself to be a superstar. He said, "Obviously, I know I'm a celebrity but I don't look at myself in that light. I'm just me, man. It's one of the reasons that I stay here in Detroit. I don't want the attention. I don't like the attention. I don't like all that sh*t."

He added, "Yes, I love the respect and the admiration that some people show me but I don't thrive off that whole thing. I just want to be regular."

Lady Gaga now has the most followers on Twitter, beating out Britney Spears, who previously held the title. At last check, Gaga had 5.7-plus million followers compared with Spears, who had more than 5,690,000. Still -- both pop stars are close, so Spears could inch out Gaga at any moment.

Gaga more frequently updates her Twitter page. Just last week, she told fans, "Haven't left the studio. Each song I write, I feel closer to you. Miss you little monsters, little inspirations. X" Spears, though, has been a bit more Twitter-active over the past week, having tweeted updates about her visit to the set of Glee.

Just weeks after Madonna debuted her new Material Girl clothing line, she faces a lawsuit over the brand's name. L.A. Triumph, a California-based company, has been using the Material Girl name for its own line of clothes since 1997 -- and wants Madge to pay.

According to Reuters, the company filed suit, arguing that "Madonna and her newfound company do not have the right to trade in the same space under this brand." L.A. Triumph wants the judge to rule that Madonna's use of "Material Girl" creates "deception" in the marketplace. It is also asking for Madonna and her company to turn over all the profits from their line.

Madge and her daughter Lourdes' clothing line hit Macy's last month with Gossip Girl actress Taylor Momsen as the face of the collection.

In other news, Gossip Cop blasted a report claiming Madge was offered billions to do a five-year residency in Las Vegas.

Rob Zombie may not be directing a new movie this year, but he's appearing in one...or at least his voice is. According to The Playlist, Zombie will play the voice of God in Super, the upcoming spoof of superhero movies starring Rainn Wilson from The Office, along with Ellen Page, Kevin Bacon, Liv Tyler, Nathan Fillion and others. Director James Gunn wrote on Twitter, "Cutting @RWZombie's voice into SUPER as the Voice of God! Typecasting, I know."

The movie, which will premiere next month at the Toronto International Film Festival, follows Wilson as an average guy who becomes the fake superhero The Crimson Bolt after his wife leaves him for a drug dealer.

Zombie's last stint behind the camera was 2009's Halloween II. Even though he's been attached to several projects since then, Zombie told us he's not making a new movie until 2011: "Well, this year is very filled with touring. I mean, the rest of the year will all be touring, touring, touring. You know, I'm just trying to put together the next movie, I'm not sure what it is yet. That'll be sometime in 2011. So once that's all together I'll announce it, but I'm not sure yet. I really made a conscious effort to dedicate this year to just the music."

Zombie recently completed the Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour with co-headliners Korn and will next hit the road with Alice Cooper in late September.

Zombie has been on tour behind his fourth solo studio album, Hellbilly Deluxe 2.

Reports say that although he has been rejected, Wyclef Jean has not given up his aspirations to become the next President of Haiti. According to Reuters, the musician plans to send a lawyer to the courts to appeal their rejection of his candidacy. He has claimed that he has legal papers "which shows everything is correct" and "feel that what is going on here has everything to do with Haitian politics."

Wyclef released an official statement this past weekend on why he was denied running for president of the impoverished country. The statement, which was submitted to The Huffington Post, said, "It is with a heavy heart that I tell you today that the board of elections in Haiti has disqualified me from my run for the presidency of the country. Though I disagree with the ruling, I respectfully accept the committee's final decision, and I urge my supporters to do the same . . ."

The statement continued, "I want to assure my countrymen that I will continue to work for Haiti's renewal; though the board has determined that I am not a resident of Haiti, home is where the heart is -- and my heart has and will always be in Haiti. This ruling just tells me that I can't officially seek the office of president."

He added, "More importantly, there is no one who can tell me to stop my work in Haiti, and there is no one who could . . . Rest assured, this isn't the end of my efforts to help improve my beloved country but only marks a new beginning."
