Against Me! singer Tom Gabel gave his first performance as a woman on Friday.

The rocker, who announced earlier this month that he is transgender and will now be known as Laura Jane Grace, performed with the band in San Diego.

During the 40-minute set, Grace sang the band's new song, 'Transgender Dysphoria Blues,' which is also the name of Against Me!'s upcoming album.

Grace, who started hormone replacement therapy two weeks ago, also reportedly received cheers from the audience when she sang the lines 'If I could have chosen/I would have been born a woman' from the band's 2007 song 'The Ocean.'

'I was worried that some people expected me to come out looking like Little Bo Peep or something,' Grace told Rolling Stone after the show, but both the musician and the performance were well-received.

Justin Bieber trained with Mike Tyson just days before his alleged scuffle with a paparazzo in Calabasas, California on Sunday.

The legendary boxer posted a video of Bieber hitting the punching bag while Tyson coached him at his studio in Las Vegas last weekend, when The Biebs was in town for the Billboard Music Awards.

Bieber certainly looks like he knows what he's doing.

As Gossip Cop previously reported, the 'Boyfriend' singer allegedly got into a fight with a photographer yesterday and has since been named a suspect in the alleged battery.

Britney Spears just completed her first week of auditions in Austin, Texas, and no one is more proud of her than her fiancé Jason Trawick, who also negotiated her contract.

In a video made from their bed, Trawick looks into the camera and tells Spears, 'Princess, you just completed our first week in Austin on 'X Factor.' Just wanted to say I'm very proud of you, and I love you so much. Congratulations!'

Then, with a kiss, he adds, 'Now get back in here so we can go to sleep.'

Spears late responded on Facebook, 'Aww love you too.'

Earlier in the week, there was a report that the pop singer walked off the set of the 'X Factor' on the first day of auditions ' after a contestant supposedly butchered her song, 'Hold It Against Me' ' but Gossip Cop was first to note that it was untrue.

Spears had simply  taken a short break, as the judges are known to do.

Lady Gaga Officially Cancels Indonesia Concert After Threats

Lady Gaga has officially canceled her concert slated for Indonesia on June 3.

Two weeks ago, it was first noted that the singer was being forced to cancel her show in the capitol city of Jakarta amid fierce opposition from Muslim groups and political leaders who claimed she would corrupt young concert goers.

Religious hard-liners in the country contended that Gaga's provocative dances and outfits were too 'dangerous' an influence to allow, and the national police subsequently denied a permit for the concert.

There were then talks about ways for Gaga to tone down the performance.

But on Sunday, the concert was officially called off, leaving fans upset, despite the show's promoter offering full refunds.

Gaga herself tweeted, 'We had to cancel the concert in Indonesia. I'm so very sorry to the fans & just as devastated as you if not more. You are everything to me.'

Organizers said they weren't just concerned about the singer's safety, but also of those attending the concert.

Members of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) called the show's cancellation a 'victory,' and noted they had purchased tickets to the 'Born This Way Ball' in an effort to disrupt the show.

Gaga vowed on Twitter: 'I will try to put together something special for you. My love for Indonesia has only grown. #GagaSendsLoveToJakarta and all its people.'

It's not the first time the singer has met with resistance from government officials on the Asian leg of her tour.

Gaga's opening 'Born This Way Ball' show, on April 27 in South Korea, was restricted to fans over 18 years old.

Men In Black 3 Beats The Avengers for Top Spot at Memorial Day Weekend Box Office

Battleship Men In Black 3 The Avengers

BOX OFFICE

(Sony)

Will Smith has ended The Avengers' run.

Men In Black 3, Smith's first starring role since 2008, will win the extended Memorial Day Weekend with a projected $75 million take, taking the #1 box office spot away from The Avengers ($45 million).

The Avengers was the top movie for its first three weeks of release, and will cross the $500 million cumulative mark domestically.

Military-oriented Battleship is expected to perform well enough for third place over the holiday with an estimated $13.5 million.

Sacha Baron Cohen's farce The Dictator and nuclear fallout horror flick Chernobyl Diaries are on track to battle for the #4 spot with about $11 million apiece.

Dark Shadows, the latest Johnny Depp-Tim Burton collaboration, is projected for sixth place with roughly $9.5 million, just ahead of pregnancy comedy What to Expect When You're Expecting and elder British actor-packed The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

Both of those films are projected for $9 million.

The Top 10 should wrap up with The Hunger Games ($2.5 million in its 10th week of release) and $2 million for Think Like A Man.

Gossip Cop will have updates.
