WARREN, Mich. -- Kid Rock has apologized after a man complained that the musician smoked a cigar at a nonsmoking venue in the Detroit area.

Randy Snell says Kid Rock lit the cigar while attending country singer Travis Tritt's show Friday at Andiamo Celebrity Showroom in Warren.

Fifty-eight-year-old Snell of Trenton has asthma and says he plans to file a health department complaint. Michigan law prohibits smoking at workplaces including bars and restaurants.

Kid Rock was born Robert Ritchie. He grew up in and lives in suburban Detroit.

If her 8 Golden Globe wins are any indication, Meryl Streep can take just about anything; including playing a political figure she disagrees with and using profanity on live television.

The star, who nabbed a Golden Globe for her performance in Phyllida Lloyd's Margaret Thatcher biopic "The Iron Lady" at Sunday night's awards, admitted the role of Margaret Thatcher was an interesting one to take on.

"Coming into this I had a very reductive view of Margaret Thatcher," Streep said of the former Prime Minister in the Golden Globes press room. "I sort of did what we all do to political figures we don't agree with; we turn them into something more than human and less than human at the same time. It was interesting to me to look at the human being behind the headlines; to imagine what it's like to a live a life so huge, controversial, and groundbreaking in the winter of that life, and to have sort of a compassionate view for someone with whom I disagree."

But Streep's compassion for Thatcher didn't stop her form throwing a bold word into her acceptance speech for "The Iron Lady" when she realized she'd lost her glasses.

"Oh, I can't believe I said 'sh*t' on TV," Streep said. "I never do anything like that! It's just, I have such a good speech, and I can't see it at all. Even if you held it in the front row I couldn't see it!"

The Oscars are right around the corner, but Streep isn't slowing down; she's starring in David Frankel's "Great Hope Springs" as Maeve Somes, in theaters this December.

Why am I seeing flashes of Darren Criss (Blaine) in a crisp white suit pointing up to a mirror ball? Probably because "Glee" exec producer Ryan Murphy is teaming with Barry Gibb on an April episode to honor The Bee Gees' "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack.

What a wild night! (We haven't even had a chance to go through our goodie bag.) Whether your favorite celebs spent the evening celebrating or sulking, there are no losers when it comes to the after party! Take a look at all the stars who made the party rounds below. Cheers!

When Maria Menounos was told to "strike a pose" as she headed down the 2012 Golden Globes red carpet, her handlers may not have had Denver Broncos player, Tim Tebow's signature squat in mind.

But at least Menounos didn't sacrifice fashion for her sporty tribute. The 33-year-old TV host took a knee, sporting a full-length yellow sequin column gown. And Tebow could even take a few notes from the brunette beauty -- she showed superb form in sky-high heels.

This isn't the first time Menounos has been spotted showing her sports fan colors, she's often caught on camera sporting a bikini and showing off her own impressive football skills with a few friends on the beach.

A boozy affair that crams all of Hollywood biggest names into one small space, the Golden Globe Awards always seem to produce some unlikely pairings and photo opportunities. And now, in the age of celebrity photo sharers on Twitter, we get to see all the awkward duos in all their glory.

Shortly after Sunday night's show, frequent celeb photo tweeter Sophia Vergara posted a particularly interesting pic on her WhoSay account. No, it wasn't with a "Modern Family" co-star, or someone from one of her upcoming films, or even a stylist. Heck, it wasn't even a producer or agent. No, Vergara had her arm around none other than Newscorp chair Rupert Murdoch himself.

Murdoch, as the ultimate owner of Fox Searchlight, had himself a nice evening, film-wise; that studio's film "The Descendants" won Best Motion Picture Drama, and George Clooney won Best Actor in a Drama. It wasn't such a great night for his studios' TV shows, save for the win for Jessica Lange of "American Horror Story," but it looks like, all things considered, he was happy to be there.

Vergara and Murdoch may have been brought together by her boyfriend, Florida politician and Onion Crunch creator Nick Loeb; as a conservative, he's been a guest on Fox News, and is seen as a bright young star for Murdoch's network's party of choice.

It was a moment only Baby Boomers could truly appreciate: Meryl Streep standing before the glitterati at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards to accept best actress honors and then dropping the bomb: "Oh s**t my glasses!"

Streep, who won the drama award for her portrayal of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady," wasn't able to read the acceptance speech she had carried with her to the podium. "OK, I'm gonna have to remember my speech," she said.

Iron Lady producer Harvey Weinstein tried to recover Streep's glasses, handing them to George Clooney, but the ever-classy Streep persevered without them, noting, "I'd like to thank my agent, Kevin Huvane, and god, Harvey Weinstein."

Boomers cleaned up at the Golden Globes, taking four of the top seven film categories as well as television honors. Along with Streep, George Clooney took best actor honors for "The Descendants"; Christopher Plummer, supporting actor, for "Beginners"; Jessica Lange, supporting actress, for "American Horror Story"; Martin Scorsese, best director, for "Hugo"; Steven Spielberg, best animated film, for "Adventures of Tintin"; Woody Allen, best screenplay, for "Midnight in Paris"; Kelsey Grammer, best actor in a drama for "Boss" on Starz; and Madonna, best original song, for "Masterpiece" in "W.E.," the film she directed. Morgan Freeman received a lifetime achievement award. Check out the complete list of winners here.

From Oprah Winfrey to Ben Affleck, celebrities aren't shy when it comes to turning their political views into candidate endorsements. Now, even Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is jumping in to snatch a piece of the political pie.

When I sat down with the pint-sized reality star at her press conference announcing the launch of Team Snooki Boxing, she expressed a certain disdain for the candidates currently in the presidential race. However, she did say there was one man she would vote for.

"I thought Trump was gonna run," Snooki pondered. "But he's not, right? I would endorse him and vote for him."

Beyond the future of the American empire, Snooki was much more interested in chatting about the expansion of her own empire, starting with the boxing team she is currently promoting. Snooki's guys -- Hyland brothers Patrick, Eddie and Paul -- are set to square off in Atlantic City at the end of the month.

What qualifies Snooki to promote boxing? The same thing that qualifies her to write a bestselling book or design a clothing line. She's famous-ish.

"I do love the movie 'Rocky' and I see myself as a business woman and want to get involved in everything I can," Snooki told me on Thursday at McFadden's bar in Manhattan. "Boxing is just another thing I am excited to learn about and get into."

Sounds like this mini orange Donald Trump has been paying attention to the mogul's lessons. But despite her antics on the Shore, Snooki claims to be an amateur when it comes to throwing punches.

"I'm training to learn boxing but I'm not going to box -- I don't want to mess up my pretty face," Snooki said. "I don't know how to fight. All I know how to do is pull hair. I would rather not fight. I want to stay away from violence. I would rather scream than fight."

Check out Snooki's transformation over the years below:

Lindsay Lohan goes before Judge Stephanie Sautner tomorrow for her second probation progress report and she will once again pass with flying colors ... but this time it came down to the wire ... sources tell TMZ.

Following his split from popstar Katy Perry, Russell Brand admits that he's doing "quite well." While promoting his new FX show, "Strangely Uplifting," the British comedian and actor told reporters (via People) in Pasadena that in spite of recent events, he's on the mend -- but his answer to their questions of well-being didn't come without his signature quirk.

"Are you asking because of recent events?," he asked. "You are making the mistake of seeing time as linear. The brilliant American author Kurt Vonnegut, he'll tell you that if you imagine reality as experienced simultaneously, events become redundant."

Brand and Perry filed for divorce on Dec. 30, 2011, citing irroncincilable differences. Rumors that there may be trouble in paradise first came to light when the pair spent the Christmas holiday apart -- and ringless.

Although the couple, who called one another husband and wife for just over a year, is no doubt still recovering from their recent breakup, when asked if he was happy, Brand replied, "Yes, I am."

Since announcing their spilt, Brand has moved out of the pair's Hollywood Hills home into his new Los Angeles bachelor pad.

Check out scenes from Katy and Russell's marriage below:

CANBERRA, Australia — A newly discovered horse fly in Australia was so "bootylicious" with its golden-haired bum, there was only one name worthy of its beauty: Beyonce.

Previously published results from Bryan Lessard, a 24-year-old researcher at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, were recently announced on the species that had been sitting in a fly collection since it was captured in 1981 – the same year pop diva Beyonce was born.

He says he wanted to pay respect to the insect's beauty by naming it Scaptia (Plinthina) beyonceae.

Lessard said Beyonce would be "in the nature history books forever" and that the fly now bearing her name is "pretty bootylicious" with its golden backside.

"Bootylicious" was the title of a song by Beyonce's previous group, Destiny's Child.

It's unknown if the rare species is a bloodsucker like many female horse flies. Lessard says he was unable to find any live specimens when he went looking in 2010 in northeast Queensland's Atherton Tablelands, where it was captured three decades ago. However, at least one member of the public has alerted him that he was recently bitten by what's locally called the "gold bum fly."

The description of the fly was earlier published in the Australian Journal of Entomology, but the results were announced last week.

Lessard says he hasn't heard from Beyonce, who recently gave birth to her first child, but he is a fan and hopes she will take his scientific gesture as a compliment. He also said the name was picked to help draw attention to the importance of his field and the need for more researchers to catalog and study insects.

Horse flies are "vital pollinators of native plants, not just in Australia, but all over the world," Lessard said. "It's extremely important to name all the undescribed species so we can measure our human impact on the environment and hopefully protect it for future generations to enjoy."

We doubt anyone will walk away from this year's Golden Globes calling for Ricky Gervais' head on a platter. The host landed a few shots but was mostly tame and, frankly, barely there for a lot of it.

Nevertheless, there were still plenty of laugh out loud moments from the awards ceremony, and we've gathered some of our favorites here. Seth Rogan stole the show with his possibly off-the-cuff remark about presenting with Kate Beckinsale, and Jodie Foster got huge laughs during a brief cutaway in Gervais' opening monologue.

And if you were on Twitter at all last night, you'll want to see exactly what happened on Sir Ben Kingsley's lap during the Cecil B. DeMille award. Turns out, that lady was his wife. Well played, Sir Ben.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Post parties after the Golden Globe Awards, less raucous than in previous years, flowed instead of crackled, conjuring up the understated 1920s glamor of black-and-white French-directed silent film and Globe comedy or musical winner "The Artist."

Celebrities at several after-parties located around the Beverly Hilton Hotel following Sunday's awards ceremony made the rounds noshing on gourmet comfort food, sipping martinis, chatting and dancing, but the overall party vibe felt more serene than spastic. Sophisticated, pared down decorations completed the effect, adding to a certain "je ne sais quoi" in the air.

"It's felt very, very mellow tonight, but in a good way," said "American Horror Story" star Connie Britton just before midnight at the Warner Bros. bash with InStyle magazine at the hotel's Oasis courtyard.

Britton, fresh off celebrating Jessica Lange's supporting actress in a series, miniseries or TV movie win for the show, summed up the sense of laidback acceptance pervasive at the parties:

"Jessica's win felt communal. I came here to support the show. I didn't feel pressure about winning or losing," said Britton, who also noted she was tired, with a newly adopted baby to care for at home.

"Modern Family" starlet Sofia Vergara, in a Sophia Loren-esque strapless blue Vera Wang gown, laughed and swayed with her son and friends next to a DJ spinning `80s tunes in the party's large tent, decorated with a sculpture suspended from the ceiling blinking red and blue lights. Starkly fragmented mirrors tinged with red neon lights lined the walls. In past years, a live cover band added spice to the party.

Vergara was happy about the show winning a trophy for best musical or comedy series – but she also expected her night to end well before the wee hours.

"That's the good thing about L.A., that you can finish early. I'm going to go soon. I'm old," said the gorgeous 39-year-old actress, with a mock frown, at 10:45 p.m.

Other guests, which included "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm, singer Adam Levine, John Stamos, Zooey Deschanel and her sister Emily Deschanel, feasted on roasted root vegetable salad and crostini with apple and fig jam.

Earlier in the evening, at the NBC-Universal rooftop party, guests packed the dance floor to watch singer Janelle Monae, rocking her trademark pompadour, perform with her eight-piece band. Guests, mostly industry insiders, munched on sushi, roast beef and grilled salmon in the modern, tented nightspot.

Across the hotel, at The Weinstein Company's annual party in a cavernous tent at the lot adjacent to Bar 210, formerly Trader Vic's, slight rain showers couldn't dampen the celebration for the Weinstein-produced "The Artist." The film, besides being anointed best musical or comedy, also snagged trophies for original score and best acting for its French star Jean Dujardin. Set in `20s Hollywood, it follows the rise of talking pictures out of the silent film era and is almost completely silent.

With black couches and walls, and vases of crisp, white flowers, the party kept to a black-and-white theme, in keeping with the film's black-and-white palette. Clear beaded chandeliers accented by gold lights dangled from the ceiling. Revelers ate oysters and shrimp and drank Moet champagne. The ghost of old Hollywood drifted throughout the bash.

"The Artist" co-star and best actress nominee Berenice Bejo sat looking exhausted, yet like the `20s ingénue she plays in the film, with her husband, the film's director, Michel Hazanavicius, on a corner couch, surveying the scene. She had a jolt of enthusiasm when she spotted Leonardo DiCaprio across the room and rushed over to greet him.

Cameron Diaz took up a back couch next to Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, while Rob Lowe sat on top of his, grinning like a schoolboy. Other guests included Paris and Nicky Hilton, surrounded by an entourage of followers, and "Beginners" heartthrob Ewan McGregor, who vowed he would make it an early night, due to having four children at home.

Gerard Butler, the party's main go-to hunk, seemed overwhelmed by all the attention. Leggy women routinely wandered over to him, mugging for photos and kissing him on the cheek.

"I was pushed off of my own table!" said the actor, pointing behind him, to a packed table. "And I love women, and beautiful women, but sometimes ... ." He paused, head in his heads, and shrugged his shoulders.

At HBO's post party at Circa 55 restaurant, the first bash many celebrities headed to right after the awards ceremony, sleek and sparkling silver and white tablecloths, plus silver vats of white chrysanthemums, transformed the space into an ode to old Hollywood. The adjacent outdoor pool was half drained to make way for more tables. A clear tent and heat lamps protected against the cold.

A litany of A-listers such as Tim Robbins, Jane Fonda, Seth Rogen, Owen Wilson, Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart indulged in a smorgasbord of beef tenderloin, grilled chicken, sea bass with a honey miso glaze, ravioli, grilled asparagus, mashed potatoes and sushi.

Laura Dern, clutching her trophy for best actress in a TV musical or comedy for the HBO show "Enlightened," circled her way throughout the soiree, being greeted at every turn.

"It's so awesome," director and producer Judd Apatow said to Dern. "I'm freaking out!" she told other fans.

Another winner, Christopher Plummer, looked less sprightly. Seated at his table, his glisteningly golden best supporting actor trophy for "Beginners" next to his plate, Plummer waxed poetic on being 82 and celebrating his very first Globe win.

Would he stay out late?

"I've over 80 years old, have some mercy on me!" Plummer said. "I plan to leave early."

Jennifer Coolidge jumped on board "2 Broke Girls" (Mon., 8:30 p.m. EST on CBS) train in a recurring role that could easily be expanded to series regular should audiences and writers respond well to her. After their upstairs neighbor passes away, the girls start hearing loud music and stomping around. While they think it's a large man, they are surprised to meet Sophie (Coolidge), their new upstairs neighbor.

In typical sitcom fashion, the girls spend the entire episode offending and insulting Sophie. At first, Max sends her a threatening letter to get the noise to stop. Then, after seeing her apartment filled with a porch swing and girls clad in lingerie, they conclude that she's a madame and those women must be her prostitutes.

Cue the awkward conversation where Sophie is saying one thing and Max and Caroline are hearing something else entirely, until they reveal their suspicions and Sophie is so mad she threatens to turn them into the landlord for being illegal sublets in their apartment. Luckily, she has a soft spot for Max's cupcakes.

The women all make up upon finding out that Sophie runs a cleaning business. She had made an offer, which they of course misunderstood when they thought she was a madame, for them to come work for her. By the end of the episode, the three women were swinging on Sophie's indoor porch swing -- she bought it for her dream house -- bonding over their ambitions and desires. Could a new friendship and/or partnership be looming?

Catch new installments of "2 Broke Girls" -- winner of the People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Comedy -- on Mondays at 8:30 p.m. EST on CBS.

Beyonce and Jay-Z may be some of the biggest names on the planet but that doesn't mean they'll pass up on any dirty work now they've become parents.

Speaking in her first interview since giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy, Beyonce has spoken of how her and Jay-Z will be bringing her up in a "normal loving family".

And yep, that means even Jay-Z - who Bey says will be an "inspirational father" - will be changing Blue's dirty nappies.

"He will change diapers, of course he will," the singer told Star magazine. "He's going to be a very hands-on father and he is going to be so good at it.

"Life will be normal for her because we are a normal loving family. At home she’ll be part of a normal loving family."

Blue will also have a queue of showbiz babysitters waiting to look after her, with the first in-line being Beyonce's Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland.

The X Factor judge "can't wait" to start her duties according to the new mum.

"You better try and stop Kelly, she can't wait! She was doing X Factor for a lot of my pregnancy, but she was always calling me to see how everything was going."

Beyonce also took the interview as an opportunity to dispel some of the rumours surrounding Blue's birth.

It had been claimed the couple forked out $1.3m on hiring a whole floor of New York's Lenox Hill Hospital, and while Beyonce admitted security at the hospital was tight, she said many stories had been exaggerated.

"Security was very tight, but not just for the sake of it, it was for the security of our daughter. As usual certain things have been exaggerated but that seemed to be the story of my pregnancy," she said.

Read the full interview in this week's Star magazine, out today.

CELEB PICS OF THE DAY:

Kim Richards is out of rehab and feeling great.

The reality star stepped out with sister Kathy Hilton Sunday night to attend the Weinstein Company Golden Globes afterparty and when Life & Style magazine caught up with the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, she gushed about her post-rehab life. "I'm feeling phenomenal," she said.

The 47-year-old, who entered rehab in early December to fight substance abuse issues, spent the holiday season getting better and was released from the undisclosed location just last week. When she first entered rehab, her ex-husband, Monty Brinson, told the media that Richards entered the program "so she could get better for herself, her children and her family."

That plan certainly seems to be working. Richards not only spent Sunday night with Hilton, she was spotted looking happy and healthy with her sister as they left Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills last week. Her other sister, Kyle Richards who also stars on the "Real Housewives," has spoken out on numerous occasions, telling The Huffington Post her sister was doing well in rehab and they are "all really proud of her."

Check out some photos of Kim through the years.

Since parting ways with Israeli model Bar Rafaeli, Leonardo DiCaprio has been seen galavanting about with a number of leggy doppelgangers -- but media-savvy as DiCaprio is -- his date for 69th annual Golden Globes was a no brainer: his mother. (Yeah, it's cute.)

The jowl-less "J. Edgar" star didn't go stag at the after parties, either; Mrs. DiCaprio was rubbing elbows at some of the most exclusive Hollywood fetes.

Putting on his best school boy, DiCaprio introduced his mother to an unsuspecting Jane Fonda. "Say hi to Mom," he said.

"Mom!” Fonda responded, which was a little literal, but it works. (We can only assume they talked about exercise after that.)

The politicians running for the Republican nomination are all doing their best to emulate Ronald Reagan, but it'd be a lot more fun if they were working on their best impersonations of Abraham Lincoln.... Vampire Hunter.

Ben Walker plays the blood sucker-killing 16th President of the United States in the upcoming big screen adaptation of the Seth Grahame-Smith novel; having already played a funky president in the Broadway rendition of "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson," Walker now packs a wooden stake and a mean sense of vengeance as Honest Abe. The film, directed by Timur Bekmambetov, tells the story of Lincoln's "secret life," which involves, from an early age, stalking down and eliminating as many vampires as he can.

And you thought he just defeated the Confederacy!

Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Mary Todd Lincoln), Anthony Mackie (Lincoln's friend William Johnson) and Dominic Cooper (Henry Sturges, his vampire mentor) co-star in the film, which is due out in June. Check out a special behind-the-scenes video, and then a poster from the film below.

WATCH:

"Bachelorette" star Kasey Kahl was arrested Sunday morning in Fresno, CA -- hometown of Kevin Federline -- after cops say he was drunk and disorderly at a nightclub ... TMZ has learned.

Like most people, I've always felt using words like "best" when applied to art is a fun way for critics to stay busy at the end of the year, and I guess a good way to help get ratings for awards shows, which is fine.

Other than that, let's face it, it's just stupid.

It implies a scientific certainty, which admittedly we all crave in this increasingly uncertain universe, but as much as the modern world would like to think otherwise, art will always be a matter of opinion and may the artist with the best taste win!

So, Godfather aside (which everyone knows is obviously the greatest movie ever made), we're better off sticking with "favorite" movie of the year, or something not quite as committal.

For example, my four favorite movies of the year are The Artist, Rum Diary, Snow Flower And The Secret Fan, and In The Land Of Blood And Honey.

If we were to indulge in the "best" thing, just to pretend we're normal, we would have to attach the characteristic of "important" to "best" to help justify the value judgment, right?

Considering that criteria, the "best" movie of the year is an easy choice. It has to be In The Land Of Blood And Honey. I have no stake in it, I don't know anybody involved, but I bring it up because it's a small indie-type art flick and it's something you might have missed. What's bugging me is I haven't seen it on many "ten best" lists and I'm thinking maybe they missed it too because the film is terrific.

There's nothing more exciting than greatness being born and this film is the evidence.
Tremendous but nicely controlled acting; ugly-as-the-subject cinematography; production design, art direction, editing, music, wardrobe, all perfect; the uncompromising subject choice; the very wise decision to keep it in the local language with subtitles; and an amazing script, all directed by a surprisingly sure hand.

Surprising because it's a first time director who has an amazing new career ahead of her that the entire industry should be encouraging.

Again, regarding all the "ten best" lists, I hope it's a timing thing and not prejudice against the writer/director who happens to be a successful actor, or prejudice against the victims in the film who happen to be Muslims, because this film actually meets the requirements of a "best."

We'll see what the Oscars voters think, but put Steven Spielberg's name on this movie and it wins Best Picture. Okay maybe he would have had a little bigger budget, but all the more impressive the accomplishment, no?

I knew a bit about the Bosnia/Herzegovina conflict and genocide, but I still learned a lot while being emotionally engaged in the engrossing story the author shared with us. Isn't that what "best" is all about? An important subject, great craft, and emotional engagement?

There is an established tradition of actors directing films that have a particular, personal meaning for them -- Warren Beatty, Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costner, and most recently George Clooney to name a few. Remarkably, their films share an unusually high percentage of being very good.

This impressive first film puts Angelina Jolie in that very elite group.

I'm hoping the Oscars do the right thing here but, if not, let's hope somebody that matters (Mr. Spielberg are you listening?) encourages her to do this more often.

Steven Van Zandt is an Actor, (Sopranos), and Musician (Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band). His latest project is "Lilyhammer," the first original programming from Netflix, debuting February 6, for which he is the Star, Co-Writer, and Executive Producer.
