“I know everybody is gonna take this wrong: ‘We Are the World,’ I love it, and I understand the point and think it’s great. But I think ‘We Are the World’ is like [Michael Jackson's] ‘Thriller’ to me. I don’t ever wanna see it touched.

I’m a fan of music. I know the plight and everything that’s going on in Haiti. I applaud the efforts: [Millions have been raised] through text [donations] to Haiti. So I appreciate the efforts and everything, but ‘We Are The World’ is [musically] untouchable like ‘Thriller’ is untouchable. Some things are just untouchable. It was a valiant effort, but for me, it’s gonna be untouchable.”

Seriously, who’s idea was it to add Lil’ Wayne to the remake??? Jay-Z added:

“I think it’s time for us to make a new [song]. I tried to do that with ‘Stranded,’ [the song Jay, Rihanna and U2's Bono and the Edge premiered at the 'Hope for Haiti Now' telethon]. I didn’t try to make ‘We Are the World,’ but I tried to make our take on how we felt.”

The new “We Are the World” video debuted before the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony last night. The song brought together the biggest names in music — including Jamie Foxx, Lionel Richie, Tony Bennett, Jennifer Hudson and Gladys Knight — but it was 15-year-old Justin Bieber who got the coveted opening verse of the song.

Heidi Montag got 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day — and despite claims that she loves the results, Spencer Pratt says she was originally not happy.

“She came out of the hospital and the only thing she was saying was that the doctor better hide,” Pratt, 26,

“She wasn’t happy,” continued Pratt.

The aspiring pop star says she had “no idea” how painful all the procedures would be.

“The worst pain was actually my ears. I didn’t know that was the most painful process and feature,” she said  of having her ears pinned back.

Still, Montag, 23, wants a third boob job.

“I didn’t get them as big as I originally wanted,”  Added Pratt, “She doesn’t stop talking about it.”

There’s a fist pump warning in Florida — The people behind “Jersey Shore” have been checking out the beaches of Miami for the perfect spots for Season 2.

 A letter sent from the producers of “Jersey Shore” to the owner of Miami’s Mynt Lounge — asking for clearance to shoot footage inside the club in March and April.

The letter says 495 Productions is “currently researching Miami Beach as a possible location” for Season 2 and “won’t be able to shoot the show on Miami Beach unless we’re able to shoot in the hottest clubs.”
