First Paris Hilton, now this! We’ve got to tell the celebs to keep away from Vegas, because lately Sin City is really living up to its name. Just this past weekend, Latino songwriter and pop singer Bruno Mars got arrested for cocaine possession at the Hard Rock Hotel.

Known his high falsetto and memorable turns on B.o.B. (“Nuthin’ On You”) and Travie McCoy (“Billionaire”) hits, Bruno is rising fast in the music world. His solo single “Just The Way You Are” is currently #3 in the Billboard Hot 100 Charts. Could a setback like this create major rifts with the fans?

So far, he hasn’t addressed the arrest on Twitter and was quick to direct attention to his next gig in Texas. He’s also keeping to his “Saturday Night Live” performance on October 9. In fact, Bruno didn’t even look phased in the notorious mugshot hitting the web:

But the truth is, the charges are serious. Mars was caught with 2.6 grams of cocaine and supposedly got turned in by a Hard Rock bathroom attendant. This appears to be the first time Bruno (aka Peter Hernandez) has had a brush with a law, so it’s unclear what kind of penalties he’ll face. Mars is due back for arraignment on November 18. Stay tuned to Blogamole for all the up-to-the-minute Chisme!

Katy Perry and 2009 MTV VMA Host, Russell Brand, are OFFICIAL! After sharing a kiss at Lady Gaga's VMA after party, the two have been inseparable, even vacationing in Thailand together. That was quick! The duo were spotted in London last week, and are currently in Paris for fashion week, along with Perry's BFF, Rihanna.[PerezHilton]

What do you think of the new couple? Is this a step up from Perry's former boyfriend Gym Class Heroes front man, Travis McCoy, or a step down?

Katy Perry's quinceañera stunt at Los Premios was no joke (well, sort of)! The "I Kissed A Girl" singer had one of the most talked about award show moments since Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Madonna's three-way kiss at the VMAs.

Her merciless jump only made up for 2.5 seconds of the madness (yeah we counted!). It was really her crazy frosting smack followed by a frantically paralyzing finale that truly added the pink icing to the cake. Did Katy experience one-to-many tequila shots or was the entire incident staged? MTV News' Sway Calloway recently caught-up with her novio and Gym Class Heroes vocalist Travis McCoy to get the real 411 on her performance.
