Image Credit: Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagicEminem premiered his new video for “Love the Way You Lie” tonight, and it features Rihanna standing in her underpants in front of a flaming house where Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox are intermittently beating the crap out of each other and playing intense, Stanley Cup levels of tonsil hockey. Meanwhile, Em is standing in a field of pure and innocent tall grass, rapping about how he is sorry. All the rage and beatings are lit in a very dramatic and sexy way, because the people doing the raging and beating are very lithe and muscular and gorgeous. As far as one can tell, it is still not Penny’s boat. 
 
 Watch the video after the jump and weigh in, Mixers. It’s a great track, and a star-powered video. The moral of the story is, clearly, that stealing vodka is wrong. But does it take responsibility for its dramatization of domestic violence? And knowing all we know about Rihanna’s personal life (and Em’s), is this collision of reality and fame-world cleansing or just awkward?

 HollywoodLife, a site that manufactures fake stories, repeatedly claimed Katy Perry would “diss” Taylor Swift during the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Of course, it didn’t wind up happening, because HollywoodLife is a site that manufactures fake stories. But rather than admit its fabrication (or, better yet, shut up), HollywoodLife decided to keep going with its ridiculous premise, manufacturing a “diss” out of Perry’s background dancers’ polka dot bikini costumes. We wish we were joking. 
 
 “OMG! In the midst of her incredible Super Bowl halftime performance, Katy Perry managed to get a very subtle dig at Taylor Swift!” declares the webloid. HollywoodLife then shows a side-by-side comparison, submitted by some random fan, of Perry’s dancers’ swimsuits during “California Gurls” and the polka dot bikini Swift wore during an outing with Conor Kennedy… back in August 2012. 
 
 Ah, yes. Perry decided to “diss” Swift by singing a five-year-old song about bikinis and having her dancers wear similar (but not identical) polka dot swimsuits to one that Swift wore two and a half years ago. Even the fan whose tweet inspired the entire HollywoodLife story knows it’s a stretch, admitting, “I might be reading to (sic) much into this.” Um, you think so? 
 
 HollywoodLife makes a big deal out of the fact that the bikinis are high-waisted, like Swift’s. Except… Perry herself wore a high-waisted costume in the original “California Gurls” video. And, more recently, Swift made headlines when she revealed her belly button, which she’d previously kept hidden, during a beach outing in Hawaii. 
 
 Here’s what happened: HollywoodLife spent January predicting that Perry would “diss” Swift at the Super Bowl. Perry did no such thing. HollywoodLife decided to turn a completely innocuous, unrelated costume choice into a “diss.” A source close to the situation tells Gossip Cop, “This can’t be serious.” Unfortunately, it is. HollywoodLife manufactures fake stories. The end. ||||| As much as we love Missy Elliott, the best part of Katy Perry’s Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, Feb. 1 was reserved for the dancing sharks that accompanied her during the melody of her hits “California Gurls” and “Teenage Dream.”

 Though many tried to take credit for the ocean-dwelling dancers (including Snoop Dogg, who tweeted, “If you were wondering that was me in tha Shark costume!!”), one of Perry’s beach pals has now been accounted for. 
 
 Donning a blue and white shark costume was the “Roar” singer’s longtime backup dancer Scott Myrick, who quickly took to Twitter and Instagram to celebrate his meme-worthy performance.

 “And that everyone, is what it feels like to have your heart explode. I've never been more proud to be a part of something in my life,” he tweeted, following halftime. “Tonight was a feeling and moment in time that I will never, ever forget. Thank you for all the support everyone. Thanks be to Jesus, aka @katyperry for this shark takeover. You called it gurllllll.”

 In addition to retweeting several images from the buzzed-about performance, Myrick also Instagrammed a picture of himself in the costume with Perry writing, “BREAK THE SUPER BOWL.”

 Myrick was also featured on the November 2013 Entertainment Weekly cover with Perry, which he happily shared on Instagram, writing, “LOOK, Momma made me a model! @KatyPerry.”

 Oh, and did we mention he has the most chiseled six-pack in the world? Myrick enjoys going shirtless on Instagram, and for that, we thank him.

 But it turns out that in addition to being extremely attractive, Myrick also appears to be one of the reasons Perry and Swift are currently in the middle of a highly publicized feud. It all started back in 2011 when Myrick performed on Perry’s California Dreams world tour. After the gig wrapped, he auditioned for Swift’s Red Tour, and received a spot.

 According to an Examiner interview with Myrick’s fellow backup dancer Lockhart Brownlie, Perry’s camp reached out in the middle of Swift’s tour to see if the dancers would leave to perform on her Prismatic World Tour. Myrick and two others left Swift’s tour for Perry’s and now there’s some “Bad Blood.” 
 
 Swift referenced the incident (without directly naming Perry) in a September interview with Rolling Stone, saying, “She did something so horrible. I was like, 'Oh, we're just straight-up enemies.' And it wasn't even about a guy! It had to do with business. She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me.” 
 
 Whichever side you take in the Perry/Swift feud, be sure to check out the video of Myrick dancing to Ariana Grande’s “Break Free” below — after watching him dance in a shark costume for several hours, that is.
– Katy Perry is dismissing rumors that she is getting sued for using part of the Beach Boys' "California Girls" in her song "California Gurls". "No one is suing anyone," Perry tweeted, calling the reports "once again" an example of the media's tendency to "fabricate & exaggerate stories to get hits or sell papers." Although she isn't getting sued, Beach Boys published Rondor Music isn't too happy about "California Gurls," Billboard reports. "Using the words or melody in a new song taken from an original work is not appropriate under any circumstances, particularly from one as well known and iconic as 'California Girls,'" a Rondor rep says. The company is not planning to sue Perry, but it has has filed a warning in the form of a diminutive claim. "It is up to the six writers and various publishers of 'California Gurls' to decide whether they honor the claim or not," the rep continues. Check out the video—which features Snoop Dogg, who's the one actually paraphrasing the Beach Boys—on YouTube.
