Michelle Williams wants to make one thing clear -- babysitting for Beyonce's baby girl is just a part-time gig ... because she's not the only Destiny's Child singer doing diaper duty for Blue Ivy.

Last night in NYC, Michelle revealed Kelly Rowland also pulled a shift watching B.I. in Beyonce's hotel suite ... during B's concert in Atlantic City last weekend.

In the middle of the show, Beyonce thanked Michelle for babysitting -- but Michelle 'fessed up to us she had some help ... and even got to go downstairs to see some of the show.

Music royalty for parents AND celebrity nannies? Blue Ivy wins again.     


 

Justin Bieber getting some boxing tips from....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Justin Bieber hung out with Mike Tyson and got some boxing tips from the legendary fighter just days before his alleged run-in with a paparazzo. Check out the Biebs working the heavy bag with Tyson. They posed for a pic with another guy, which Tyson tweeted with the caption, "Me, @johnny and @justinbieber before we started training JB" As TMZ first reported, Bieber is now a suspect in a criminal battery after Bieber allegedly got into it with a photog in Calabasas. Cops were called to the scene -- Bieber and GF Selena Gomez had already split -- and the photog was transported to a nearby hospital and later released. Witnesses say the pap incited Bieber and got tips from a lawyer at the scene about calling an ambulance and filing a police report.

 


Phillip Phillips wasn't the only one who got a great surprise on the "American Idol" finale on Wednesday night.
During the live show, Ryan Seacrest pulled former contestant Ace Young and girlfriend/fellow former contestant Diana DeGarmo on stage ... where, to Diana's surprise, Ace proposed!
"This has always been home to us and I felt that this would be the perfect place to ask a simple question," Young said before getting down on one knee.
"I love you to death, you're my best friend, I wanna make this last forever," he added before asking her if she'd marry him. Diana of course said yes. "Wow babe you picked a good one," DeGarmo said of the ring. "My makeups running!"

 

 

 

 


If Mark Zuckerberg's new wife was expecting a MASSIVE diamond on her wedding ring ... she was SORELY disappointed. Just days after the surprise wedding of the century, Priscilla Chan-Zuckerberg took her brand new ruby rock on the road ... flashing her piece during a lunch date with a friend in Palo Alto, CA yesterday. According to reports, the $20 BILLION Facebook honcho -- who has a reputation for not caring about excessive displays of wealth -- designed the ring himself. It's unclear how much the ring cost ... hopefully not much ... 'cause his Facebook stock has been sinking like Natalie Wood ever since it debuted on Friday.

"Ray J crashed and burned the morning after the Billboard Music Awards ... and landed in the hospital ... Ray J was extremely upset after his confrontation with Whitney Houston's family -- notably Pat Houston -- during the awards ceremony.  On Monday morning, someone went into Ray J's hotel room and realized the singer was "out of it" and couldn't get out of bed.
Ray J was extremely disoriented and was immediately taken to the hospital by ambulance.
As for what happened ... it's looking like a combo of exhaustion and dehydration.  Ray J had just returned from a quick, 32-hour round trip to China for business and when he landed he immediately drove 4 hours to Las Vegas for the awards show.
Ray J is still in the hospital.  No word on when he'll be released."


Chris Brown still has a lot of fans ... but Pink and Carey Hart aren't two of them.

The couple was tweeting up a storm while watching the Billboard Music Awards together on Sunday night, and when Brown came on to "sing" "Turn Up the Music," they didn't hold back.

"One day if i lipsync, i hope i do it as well as him..." Pink tweeted, referencing the fact that Brown was clearly not singing live during his performance.

Hart jumped in as well, adding "Im pretty sure i saw my wife did that same performance, but she was 3 months pregnant and actually sang the song."
 

Carey added Brown's "bmx had no relevancy while he lip synced."

Some people thought Carey was taking aim at Katy Perry's performance of "Wide Awake," which used some of the trapeze acrobatics Pink normally features.

The singer cleared up confusion this morning, tweeting "for the record; i luv me some Katy, so y'all can jump off that run away train, k? i stand behind, always have and always will, LIVE SINGING."

"Beastie Boys" rapper MCA -- real name Adam Yauch -- has died.

In 2009, MCA announced he was being treated for a cancerous parotid gland and a lymph node (below). He has since undergone surgery and radiation therapy.

 

So far, it's not clear if the death is related to the rapper's battle with cancer.

Russell Simmons' website GlobalGrind.com first reported the death. We have spoken to people independently connected to the rapper who also say he is dead.

MCA co-founded Beastie Boys in 1979 with Mike D, and Ad Rock ... and went on to churn out some of the most iconic albums in hip-hop ... including License to Ill, Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head and Ill Communication.

The group has won multiple Grammys and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year.

The Beastie Boys haven't performed live since 2009.

MCA recently became a vegan at the recommendation of his Tibetan doctors.

So far, it's not clear if the death is related to the rapper's battle with cancer.
