Image Credit: Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic.com; Michael Buckner/WireImCee-Lo Green’s spiteful throwback “Forget You” (or “F**K You” for fans of the uncensored) was an internet sensation when it hit Youtube months ago. Then it got that much bigger when Fox’s cheery phenomenon, Glee, put their spin on it courtesy of actress Gwyneth Paltrow’s fun remix. The reception was so great that the two hit the studio recently to record the song as a duet. And though he doesn’t know exactly when, in an interview with Access Hollywood Cee-Lo promises we’ll get to hear it soon.

Motley Crue singer Vince Neil prepping for brief jail stay
Motley Crue singer Vince Neil will serve two weeks in jail starting Feb. 15 for driving drunk in his Lamborghini last summer in Las Vegas, reports Yahoo. He had potentially faced a six-month stay. Under the guidelines of the misdemeanor driving plea deal he’s set to agree to, he’ll also be under house-arrest for two weeks. Neil, 49, will reportedly finalize his agreement when he attends his Jan. 26 court hearing in Las Vegas. “I have recognized that you can’t drink and drive at all,” Neil said in a statement.
In 1984, Neil also pleaded guilty to manslaughter and drunken driving after an accident in California that killed his passenger, 24-year-old Hanoi Rocks drummer Nicholas Dingley. An uninjured Neil served 20 days in jail and paid $2.5 million in restitution to the victims who survived.

Dr. Dre hints at April 20 release for 'Detox' album, but...
Image Credit: Frederick M. Brown/Getty ImagesYesterday producer Just Blaze put out a Twitvid clip that got the online hip-hop community grinning from ear to ear. In it, he and iconic producer/rapper Dr. Dre hint at there being a confirmed release date for Dre’s oft-delayed Detox album. “Bow bow! 4-20, baby. I’m coming!” Dre yells during his brief shot. “You might just see a unicorn this year, too” jokes Blaze after. Dre was obviously talking about Detox, right? in 2011? It’s safe to assume as much, I guess. But there’s one problem.
Check what Dre’s rep had to say about Detox’s release date after the jump.
