Evan Agostini/Getty ImagesSure there are plenty of reasons to loathe The King of R&B, besides just not liking his music and his sometimes questionable hair styles. Robert Sylvester Kelly, 41, is not only infamous for his explicitly sexual songs like "Bump N' Grind," and "Ignition (Remix)," but also for his real life perversions including marrying then-15-year-old singer Aaliayh (he was 27 and she lied on the marriage license saying she was 18). Most horrifically, he's currently facing 14 counts for soliciting a minor for child pornography, videotaping the acts and producing child porn. His trail begins May 9 and as of now, both R.Kelly and the alleged victim deny they are the people in the tape.

You must think I'm terrible for continuing...but I like the guy. And before you get your panties in a bunch, he has sold over 50 million albums, so other people like him, too! Word on the Internet is he's coming out with a new album this summer! So if you can bear with me and set aside your disgust for a moment (hey,

Stephen Shugerman/Getty ImagesLindsay Lohan has had it with her dad fueling further gossip by talking to reporters…so she decided to tell the press!

"I just wish that he wouldn't go and talk to the media," she said on today's The Billy Bush Show. "It's not attractive to me, it really upsets me and I wish he would stop. ... I love my father. I just don't know why he's doing what he's doing. It's a weird situation, very odd."

You're right, Lindsay. It is odd. [People]

Kevin Winter/Getty ImagesAfter playing to half empty arenas, once-successful Avril Lavigne is served another low blow-scathing reviews The Washington Post. "Who says Canadians are all sweetness and light? Much of Avril Lavigne's appeal, and there's a ton to go around, comes from how loathsome she is." In an ever-so-slight contrast, the L.A. Times Kanye's Glow in the Dark tour, "raises the bar for arena tours as no show has since U2's 1992 Zoo TV breakthrough. It's that innovative and galvanizing…the ridiculous, beautiful heights of West's heroics." Man, we need to get tickets! Not to be outdone, Madonna, the queen of pop, sits comfortably on her throne raking in $25 million for playing two shows in Dubai. Ahh, must be nice. [LAT, WP, MTV]

Which touring artist would you pay the most money to see?

L to R: Michael Buckner /Getty Images; Mark Davis/Getty ImagesTrusty wikipedia defines a catfight as an altercation between two women, typically involving scratching, hair-pulling, shirt-shredding, insulting each other verbally or being otherwise nasty to each other usually over men. Rawrrr! But which unsuspecting lady has been sharpening her claws? Last week everyone's favorite heiress, Paris Hilton, went on the radio and trashed long-term "friend" Kim Kardashian saying, "I would not want [Kim's butt], it's gross! It reminds me of cottage cheese inside a big trash bag." Hiss! Recognizing the magnitude of her errors, Paris confessed to In Touch, "I felt really bad afterward, so I contacted Kim and apologized. It was a silly thing to say. Kim's hot!"

We know cats have nine lives, but vicious Paris is a few feline feuds shy of using hers up! While handsome Hollywood men may serve as terrific bait, it usually only takes a healthy dose of competition for these ladies to treat each other like a scratching post.

Frazer Harrison/Getty ImagesNot a thug? No problem! Just make up your sordid past. The Smoking Gun has uncovered police corrections and court records that contradict much of Akon's life story he's told around town. Except, while most stars would probably hide their run-ins with the law, Akon has embellished and flat out invented them! According to countless interviews, the singer headed up a car theft ring and spent 4.5 years in jail. But guess what-he was never convicted! Some people's stupidity never fails to amuse us.
