Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Beyoncé Take Billboard Awards

It was just like 2010 all over again: Taylor Swift was the first winner of the night at Sunday's 2011 Billboard Music Awards, where she was named 200 Album Artist of the Year – for Speak Now.

Justin Bieber was a triple winner, as Digital Artist of the Year, Top New Artist and Fan Favorite – great excuses to hug and kiss his seat mate in the audience of Las Vegas's MGM Grand: Selena Gomez.

Sarah Harding wants to be able to "crack nuts" with her butt.

The Girls Aloud star - who recently confessed to having fillers in her lips last year - thinks she could be "slimmer" and often has days when she wants to "run away" because her skin does not look how she wants it to.

She said: "I could definitely be slimmer, but I'm working on it with my trainer. I want to crack nuts with my ass!

slimmer and often has days when she wants to run away

"Do I have ugly days? All the time. I have breakouts, or days when I'm pictured with a double chin. I just think, 'Urgh, I want to run away and hide.' "

Discussing her looks, the 29-year-old beauty - who is preparing to wed DJ Tom Crane - admits she has become more "insecure" about herself as she has gotten older.

She told more magazine: "Obviously, I'm getting older now and that is an insecurity, but I just have a lot more facials than I used to.

"I'd never say never, but I think people can take surgery too far, although it's not fair to judge."

Lindsay Lohan's Weekend Trip to the Sunshine State

Guarded by a team of security personnel, Lindsay Lohan was spotted arriving at Ft. Lauderdale International Airport in Ft Lauderdale, Florida earlier this morning (May 21).

The "Mean Girls" star sported a trendy look for her weekend travel, wearing a fedora, jean vest, black shorts and a pair of black platform booties as she made the trip to the sunshine state before starting her house arrest sentence next month.

On the career end of things, the troubled actress is drumming up some serious interest in the upcoming "Carrie" remake, as author Stephen King told Entertainment Weekly that he would support the casting of the 24-year-old for the lead role.

First voicing his curiosity as to why the remake is being pursued, King said, "The real question is why, when the original was so good? I mean, not Casablanca, or anything, but a really good horror-suspense film, much better than the book."

As for pondering a lead in Miss Lohan, the award winning author interestedly added, "Although Lindsay Lohan as Carrie White… hmmm. It would certainly be fun to cast."
