Happy Birthday, Willow Smith!

The girl who might become the next Michael Jackson turns 10 years old today.

That's what Jay-Z dubbed Willow Smith soon after she released "Whip My Hair," a song that has made this young crooner a lot more than just Will Smith's daughter.

Willow has gone on to appear on stage with Justin Bieber, walk in a number of fashion shows and talk about her upcoming album. That's a lot for someone who has barely been alive for a decade. Send in your birthday wishes to the budding star now and enjoy the following photo montage in her honor...

Rihanna, Jon Hamm Helm Halloween 'Saturday Night Live' Episode

Singer re-teams with Andy Samberg's 'Shy Ronnie' for 'Ronnie & Clyde' skit.

This year's Halloween episode of "Saturday Night Live" went easy on the scares in favor of skits with a retro vibe. Jon Hamm, who hosted the same episode last year, mined his advertising executive alter ego from the midcentury drama "Mad Men," Don Draper, for laughs in his opening monologue. Leading an impromptu brainstorming session for product tag lines, Hamm suggested pushing diapers with the slogan, "Don't worry, little homie, we got your butt."

Musical guest Rihanna teamed up with Andy Samberg's timid alter ego Shy Ronnie once again for the digital short "Ronnie & Clyde," playing Prohibition-era bank robbers. Rihanna rocked a vampy, cropped suit jacket and fedora, busting up the joint as Clyde while Ronnie, awkwardly dressed in a flowing skirt and beret, bashfully hung by her side.

"Hands in the air, it's a stick up," she belted. "If you don't want to end up dead, you'll do anything Shy Ronnie says!" As a reserved robber, Ronnie is ineffective, mumbling his commands as the bank attendees look confused and Rihanna gets irritated. "No one in the back can hear you," she said. "Use your outside voice!" Rihanna tried to instill some confidence in her reticent partner and suggested he picture everyone naked. But then Ronnie got a little too excited and prompting Rihanna to proclaim, "Boner alert!" Rihanna ditched Ronnie after he shot himself in the foot, but having the floor to himself gave him a confidence boost, and he began to kick rhymes with gusto. "Ronnie, mother----er, and I'm back from the dead!" he spit, until Rihanna returned for more cash and a hunky hostage played by Hamm.

Hamm annoyed Bill Hader's Vincent Price as horny Senator John F. Kennedy, alongside Fred Armisen's randy impersonation of glitzy piano man Liberace, in a '60s Halloween special. Hamm also turned up in a skit about two bumbling '70s cops fighting crime with feathered hair.

The cast paid homage to the '80s sci-fi classic "Back to the Future" throughout the show, reenacting fake screen tests for the flick by some of the biggest stars of the era. Highlights included Jay Pharoah as an energetic Eddie Murphy, Kenan Thompson has a inarticulate Bill Cosby and Armisen as a brooding Prince.

Although Rihanna told MTV News on Thursday that she was "most looking forward to" acting in her digital short, the singer didn't short-change fans with her performances. She hit the stage first with hot pants, a crimson bra-top and wavy red locks for her flirty track "What's My Name?" The Barbadian-born diva gyrated and rocked some sultry moves on a set bathed in red light. She returned for "Only Girl in the World" in a completely red outfit with large bow tied in her hair. Throughout the song, Rihanna belted the chorus in a spotlight that obscured the rest of the band, giving the illusion that she was the only girl on the stage.

Heidi Montag: Happy With Body, Spencer Pratt

Just a month after calling off her fake divorce from Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag is just gushing about the man she married and plans on keeping forever.

In Las Vegas to host the Pure Nightclub Halloween party last night, the surgically enhanced reality star put to rest any doubts that Speidi will last.

"It's been a long summer, but we are together," Montag told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, "I'm so excited to be in Vegas and to have our friends there."

Wait ... Speidi has friends somehow? [Photos: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

No word if the reunited Hills couple wore matching costumes, as Heidi Montag wanted her outfit to be a "surprise" but promised a "super cute-sexy" one.

She will also stay clear of gambling on her trip, saying, "I definitely don't have enough money to gamble. In this economy, I'm keeping every penny."

Guess that eliminates the chance of helping her mom out.

Not only is her marriage back on track, Montag loves her new figure after umpteen plastic surgeries: "I'm definitely feeling the best I've ever felt."

What 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Should Be for Halloween

Last week was an Easter episode, so the timing is a little off, but in the spirit of Halloween and real life, I've decided to come up with Halloween costumes for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I don't know if they even do Halloween in Beverly Hills (or if they do, how) but I have the perfect solution for each one of them. I feel like to say something about masks here would be too mean, so I'll refrain.

Kim should be: Maria Von Trapp, or anything that gives her an excuse to drag her kids along so she doesn't get too lonely. 

When her kids refuse to dress up in matching curtain outfits and respond to whistle commands, Kim could find a polar bear costume (you know, a sexy polar bear). Then she can float from place to place on a rapidly vanishing chunk of ice.

Charlie heads back to work after hospitalization

The show must go on for Charlie Sheen! The troubled actor was hospitalized after being found drunk and naked by police in his New York hotel room early Tuesday morning, but it hasn't hampered his professional duties. An insider tells In Touch that Charlie is scheduled to start shooting the indie romantic comedy She Wants Me on October 28. "It's about a writer-director who wants to hire his girlfriend to play the lead in his movie," says the insider. "Charlie plays a version of himself. True Blood's 23-year-old Brit Morgan plays an actress who lands a movie with Charlie and they start dating. Hilary Duff is also in the movie ? it's a cute script." The 45-year-old actor also appears as himself in the November 5 comedy Due Date, with Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis.

Kid Cudi Reveals How He Ended Up On Kanye West's 'Gorgeous'

'As soon as I heard the beat, I was like, 'Man, this is the one,' ' Cudi recalls of the track, which was featured in 'Runaway.'
By Steven Roberts

Along with the striking imagery in Kanye West's "Runaway," people are still talking about the short film's soundtrack. The visual's vibrant colors are paralleled by some of West's best production work. Just ask Kid Cudi.

Cudder was hanging out in the studio one day when he overheard the beat for what would eventually become West's "Gorgeous."

" 'Gorgeous' was one of those records that, as soon as I heard the beat, I was like, 'Man, this is the one. This is that "This Can't Be Life" Kanye beat,' " Cudi recalled, referencing the 'Ye-produced Jay-Z track. " 'This is that classic 'Ye beat. I want to be on this.' I came up to him, and I was like, 'Man, are you working on this record? Are you working on this beat?' He goes, 'Yeah ... do you got an idea for it?' I was like, 'Yeah, I might.' I didn't. I was lying like a mother----er. I was like, 'Yeah, man, I want to get on this joint.' "

The song is featured in the third scene of "Runaway," as Selita Ebanks' phoenix walks around the garden, interacting with the animals and plants, while Kanye watches her from inside. It will be on West's highly anticipated My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album and also features Raekwon.

Cudi said they put the track together the same way they've put together their previous collaborations: Kanye throws out an idea, and he tries his best to make his part fit.

"That's my goal. Whatever Kanye tells me, I just try to put it in my little machine and make the perfect solution for it," Cudi said. "That's always our collab formula, and that's just how 'Gorgeous' came about. He just kind of told me what he was trying to say, I threw out some words, we rearranged words, and we came out with a bunch of different options before we come up with the hook."

From what you've heard so far, what do you think of "Gorgeous"? Are you excited to hear the full song? Let us know in the comments!

Willow Smith, Kings Of Leon, More Reveal Halloween Costume Plans

Kings' Caleb and Jared Followill say they're going as Taylor Swift and Kanye West.
By MTV News staff

Halloween is right around the corner, and since you're probably spending the last precious hours before Candy O'Clock furiously stitching flank steaks together for your Lady Gaga costume (or getting your Snooki poof just right), we figured you'd like to know that you are not alone. Some of the biggest names in music and pop culture are also working overtime to get their costumes just right ... because there truly is no night more important than Halloween.

In order to inspire you to go for greatness on Sunday night, we asked some of your favorite artists (and one mega-rich multimedia conglomerate) to tell us what they'll be dressing as for Halloween. It turns out there's not going to be a Gaga among them, but we can't help but wonder: What will Gaga be going as?

Willow Smith "I'm going to be myself, and I'm going to go around the neighborhood saying, 'Do you like Willow Smith?' And then I'm going to be like, 'Ta-daa, it's me!' "

The Kings of Leon "I'm going as Taylor Swift this year," frontman Caleb Followill laughed. "And he's going to be crying, and I'm going as Kanye West, like, running behind him yelling at him," his brother (and Kings bassist) Jared Followill added.

Jesse McCartney "[We're going as] the BBM emoticons ... the BlackBerry faces, we're all going to wear white shirts with yellow faces. It seemed like a fun idea."

Matt and Kim "This Halloween we're playing a show, we're in Albany, and we're trying to think of what we're going to be ... like, duos throughout time," Matt Johnson explained. "Last Halloween, we were opening for Weezer at [New York's] Hammerstein Ballroom, and I was Andy Warhol and she was Edie Sedgwick and, Kim, basically, her outfit consisted of her not wearing pants ... and just three songs into it, I had, like, the white wig on, and it was so hot that I took it off, and then I saw pictures afterwards, and I was just some jerk wearing a black turtleneck onstage. So we need to come up with something to top that."

Stephanie Pratt "The easiest is just to put on fake blood. And put on some fangs and be something dead. You can be a dead schoolgirl, a dead cop, anything."

Martha Stewart "Well, I have several costumes. ... I like to just do my makeup myself, I like to put in cracked-ice contact lenses, so your eyes have cracks in them. So you have white eyes with black cracks, and a little red, and then I like to draw scars on my face. We went out last year on Halloween with a friend, and a man sitting at the bar said, 'You're all dressed up for Halloween!' And I said, 'What are you talking about? I was in a terrible car accident!' "
