Taylor Swift will testify against DJ who groped her in Denver next month

Taylor Swift's been laying low in recent months but that will change in August. The Daily Mail reports Taylor will testify that former radio DJ David Mueller lifted her dress during a meet and greet and touched her in an inappropriate fashion at the Pepsi Center in Denver. Although Taylor did not file criminal charges against David after the incident, she and her mother did call the station to tell them what happened and ask that he be removed from his position. He was fired — and proceeded to sue her for libel, claiming it was his boss who did the groping, not him. That's when she countersued him. "Ms. Swift knows exactly who committed the assault – it was Mueller — and she is not confused in the slightest about whether her long-term business acquaintance, Mr. Haskell, was the culprit," Taylor's lawyers said in court documents. "Resolution of this Counterclaim will demonstrate that Mueller alone was the perpetrator of the humiliating and wrongful conduct targeted against Ms. Swift, and will serve as an example to other women who may resist publicly reliving similar outrageous and humiliating acts. The documents went on to say David "intentionally reached under her skirt, and groped with his hand an intimate part of her body in an inappropriate manner, against her will, and without her permission." The tiral begins in Denver Aug. 9.

"She sees her new show as her big opportunity to break away from her older sisters' shadows. Kylie loves her entire family dearly but also wants to make her own mark and brand."

Selena Gomez: 'Fetish' video could have been more sexual

The fetishes Selena Gomez indulges in her new video for the song of the same name include sucking on broken glass, putting lipstick on her teeth and biting soap. But the strange aspects of the song could have been interpreted differently, which is part of the reason Selena wanted her friend Petra Collins to direct it. "If a guy shot 'Fetish,' I bet it would look way more sexual," she says in the new issue of Dazed magazine (via JustJared). "That's what I love about how you [Petra] captured my breakdown moments – it's shown to the viewer as creepy and I honestly think that there are some guys out there who would make those moments more sexy than it was or should be. I'm not saying I've ever done something similar to the kitchen scene in real life, but I can say right now, I do weird shit all the time when I'm alone in my house. It's how I express myself! Honestly, what you [Petra] do with women is so inspiring to me. Your pictures can be sexy, but you aren't sexualizing women. You capture the raw part of it all."

Madison Beer says she and Brooklyn Beckham aren't dating

Speaking of romance rumors gone south … this week, singer Madison Beer threw cold water on chatter suggesting she's dating Brooklyn Beckham. "I'm very much single, not ready to mingle. I'm very much focused right now on my career," she said in a new Build Series interview (via E! News). "I'm 18 just trying to navigate my life and I'm having fun and there's obviously boys I can crush on, but I'm very much single." She went to explain how frustrating all the interest in her personal life can be. "He's great, though, he's a cutie, literally one of my best friends. It's hard because now every time I'm seen with him people are like, 'Oh my god, they're boyfriend and girlfriend!' But we're seriously best friends," Madison continued. "We hang out almost every day with our whole group of friends in LA together and he's moving to New York soon, so we're just having fun right now and rumors are going to get started," she said. "Don't attack a girl because you see one photo of her and a guy in public. You have no idea what this person's doing behind closed doors," she shared. "I'm also very open with my fan base and we're all very close and I don't feel like I have to hide anything from them. And me and Brooklyn very easily could go through the back of place or we could do whatever, but I'm not sneaky and I don't lie."

Woops. Rick Ross has apologized for comments he made on the "Breakfast Club" radio show about why he hasn't signed women to Maybach Music. The G-rated nutshell? He said he was worried he'd end up sleeping with female rappers if he signed them and that could ruin the hip-hop game. On Thursday, July 27, he posted a long apology on Facebook. "I want to address an insensitive comment I made on a very sensitive issue, especially in a minority dominated industry like hip-hop," Rick wrote. "My entire empire's backbone is led by 2 of the strongest people I know and they happen to be women, my mother and sister. The operations wouldn't run without them and I have the highest regard and respect for women in this industry. I have a daughter myself, my most cherished gift in the world. My comment is not reflection of my beliefs on the issue. A mistake I regret. I hope to use my mistake, my platform and the community to create positive discussion to implement change on a very important issue. respect for the ones who stand up to say hey that isn't right. Now it's time to accept responsibility and all do better." He went on to say, "I look forward to continue working with & supporting female artists. My discovery process was documented by vh1 on #signed which premiered last night. Many of the most talented artists you'll see in the running to be the next #MMG superstars are female artists.
