Today's Day In Pop!
X Factor's Simon Cowell Vs L.A. Reid
(TMZ) There is a war brewing behind the scenes at "X Factor" ... with two judges vowing to destroy each other ... and TMZ has learned it's the contestants who could feel the repercussions.
Sources connected to the show tell us ... ever since judges Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid were assigned to mentor competing groups of contestants on the show (Reid with the boys, Cowell the girls) ... the two have been ruthless with each other ... even after the cameras turned off.
Our spies overheard Reid telling people he plans to play "mind games" and "dirty tricks" with the members of Cowell's team ... explaining, "Even if I have to give really bad advice to the other contestants when their mentors are not around ... I will!"
We're told Cowell seemed to be wise to the scheme ... and even called Reid out on it after a rehearsal ... but sources say L.A. is adamant he's do "whatever it takes" to win and doesn't plan on letting up anytime soon.

Insane Clown Posse Tour Drug Bust A Set Up?
(TMZ) The guys touring with Insane Clown Posse -- who were arrested Saturday night for marijuana possession -- not only maintain they are innocent ... they claim they were set up!
As TMZ first reported, Jamie Spaniolo and Paul Methric (better known as the rap duo Twiztid) and Chris Rouleau (who raps under the name Blaze) were all busted for felony marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor.
Methric tells TMZ the group was "set up and snitched on by a guy with a vendetta against them." He says the group is "not guilty" and their "lawyer will be fighting this in court to the full extent."
As for who could have set them up ... Methric did not want to elaborate, for legal reasons. more on this story
Rihanna Stirs Hopeless Controversy
(popmusiclife) Rihanna is still causing a stir in Ireland. After receiving major attention for filming her latest video, "We Found Love," in Belfast, the pop star may now get even more, following comments by Northern Ireland's Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland.
The BBC reports the politician has lashed out at Rihanna for suggesting that north Belfast is "a hopeless place."
The new video was filmed in parts of Northern Ireland, including a field in Bangor in County Down, and the New Lodge Road area of Belfast. Writing on his blog, McCausland notes, "apparently much of it involves her singing 'I found love in a hopeless place'. This is set against a background of drugs, alcohol and gambling, interspersed with shots of the New Lodge flats and views of the general area. 'A hopeless place?' Fortunately most people who see the video will have no idea where it was filmed." more on this story

Free Avril Lavigne Ticket Confusion For Military Families
(popmusiclife) There's some confusion over what happened with a free ticket offer for Canadian military families to see Avril Lavigne in concert on Saturday.
The London Free Press reports Canadian military families throughout Southern Ontario were told about 10 days ago that a block of tickets to the October 22 show at the John Labatt Centre in London, Ontario would be available to them; they were asked to let organizers know how many tickets interested families would need.
But Friday, the day before the concert, the families received an e-mail saying the offer was cancelled. But that's not the case, said John Labatt Centre manager Brian Ohl. more on this story
Toby Keith Club Jams To Be Released This Week
(UMG) Toby Keith stunned fans and music critics alike with his unannounced, intimate New York club jam in 2010. He delighted his fans by including four songs recorded live that night on the Deluxe Edition of his Bullets In The Gun album last October. Now, Toby's doing it again.
The Oct. 24 Deluxe Edition release of his new studio album Clancy's Tavern will include four more classic covers recorded live at that "Incognito Bandito" show. They are: Waylon Jennings' "High Time (You Quit Your Low Down Ways), Buck Owens' "Truck Drivin' Man," Three Dog Night's "Shambala" and Chuck Berry's "Memphis."

Justin Bieber Gives Back
(popmusiclife) It's only October, but Justin Bieber is already way ahead of the game when it comes to holiday spirit.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Justin recently handed over a check for $10,000 to the Stratford House of Blessing, a local food bank in his hometown of Stratford, Ontario - enough to fill its shelves through Christmas day.
It's the same food bank where Bieber and his mother Pattie Mallette used to get their food when they couldn't afford to buy a proper holiday meal. more on this story
Ricki Lake Malibu Fire Fight Derailed By Dancing With the Stars?
(TMZ) Safe to say the guy suing Ricki Lake for allegedly burning down his Malibu mansion is NOT a fan of "Dancing With the Stars" ... because he claims the show has derailed his lawsuit!
According to docs filed last month, the owner, Hovsep Kousouyan, has been trying to get Lake to sit for a deposition for months ... but she claims she can't because of her commitment to "DWTS."
Kousouyan's lawyers claim they've offered up at least eight different dates -- including nights and weekends -- but Lake's attorneys have repeatedly said she's unavailable until December.
Sources close to Lake tell TMZ she has no problem sitting down for the depo ... she's just been working seven days a week on "DWTS." We're told he lawyers are working on setting a date.
Kousouyan says he's out $20,000 a month on lost rent, so Lake could be on the hook for a HUGE chunk of change.
Lake was renting the house in September 2010, when she tried re-filling a portable heater with oil and accidentally spilled it on the hot coils, which then ignited the sofa on fire which in turn caused a mega-blaze. more on this story
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Do Winnipeg
(popmusiclife) Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez had a pretty full weekend in Winnipeg, taking in the sights, catching a movie and having a romantic dinner, all surrounding Gomez's concert tour appearance in the city Friday night.
The Winnipeg Free Press reports the duo were spotted all over town – from an NHL Winnipeg Jets home game to a Tim Hortons, and even a romantic candlelit dinner.
The teen stars were spotted at the Jets game and tied up their skates to hit the MTS Centre ice surface afterwards (see photo above from Winnipeg Free Press), where Texas-born Gomez didn't look quite as comfortable on skates as her Canuck squeeze. more on this story
Lindsay Lohan Dropping Manager?
(TMZ) Lindsay Lohan is cleaning out more than just trash bins at the morgue -- TMZ has learned she's kicking her business manager to the curb.
Sources close to LiLo tell TMZ she decided to split with her business manager, Lou Taylor. We're told Lindsay felt Taylor (who also manages Britney Spears) didn't have the time to manage her and Lohan wanted someone who could put more effort into her.
According to our sources, Lindsay felt her finances (which were Taylor's responsibility) were beginning to slip through the cracks and word was getting back to her that her balances were not being handled in a timely manner ... in part because Taylor is based in Tennessee.
Lohan's rep, Steve Honig, tells TMZ the split was amicable and Lohan and Taylor remain friends.
Calls to Taylor were not returned. more on this story
Selena Gomez Meet Selena Gomez
(popmusiclife) The 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards happen in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Sunday, November 6.
Selena Gomez is gearing up for her hosting duties at this year's event; she's recorded a promo for the show, where she is actually joined by – herself.
The two Selena's congratulate themselves for being the "hostess with the mostest," while rapping about her climb to the top of the charts. See the video here
Hannah Montana Star Facing Jail Time
(TMZ) Mitchel Musso -- who starred alongside Miley Cyrus on "Hannah Montana" -- has been charged with 2 counts of drunk driving stemming from his arrest in Burbank, CA earlier this week ... and he could wind up behind bars.
Law enforcement sources tells TMZ ... the Burbank City Attorney has charged Musso with driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher -- both misdemeanors.
If convicted on both counts, 20-year-old Musso faces a maximum of 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
TMZ broke the story ... Musso was pulled over at 3:43 AM Sunday ... after he allegedly failed to slow down for cops who were directing traffic for an unrelated accident. Cops suspected he was hammered and placed him under arrest.
The actor is due back in court on Nov. 11. more on this story
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries Break Up Reports Denied
(TMZ) Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are NOT on the verge of a split ... not even close ... despite several screaming magazine covers and websites SWEARING they're headed for divorce.
In fact, TMZ has learned the newest story making the rounds -- about Kris supposedly getting booted out of their NYC pad -- is just another steaming pile of BS.
Multiple sources who are extremely close to the couple tell us they were simply getting some boxes together for the newlyweds' big move back to L.A. ... together.
The couple had been living out of NYC's swagtastic Gansevoort Hotel for a couple months while Kim shot her new reality show "Kim and Kourtney Take New York" -- and yesterday, it was finally time to move out.
As for Kris' lack of wedding ring -- we're told the guy just isn't a fan of jewelry. more on this story
Snooki Gets Apology For Bogus Drug Bust Story
(TMZ) Snooki's legal team just smoosh smoosh'd all over the website that published a false story about her -- claiming she was arrested in a marijuana mega-bust last week-- because the site has issued an embarrassing apology for the mix-up.
TMZ obtained a copy of the mea culpa -- sent to Snooki's reps earlier today -- in which the website admits, "It has come to our attention that the story we released regarding your alleged arrest yesterday was false."
The site continues, "Our actions were wrongful and reckless ... What we did was wrong. We are sorry we did it. We are sorry for the attention it brought you."
And the coup de grace -- "We would also like to inform you that upon your request we will no longer use nor refer to you, your name, your likeness, nor your image."
Boom. Snooki wins by knockout.
