KATIE COURIC admitted on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last week that she went on a date with LARRY KING 26 years ago. But while she treated it as more of a learning experience, Larry had something else on his mind. Katie says, quote, "He lunged . . . and I started laughing a little bit because the whole situation was out of a bad Lifetime movie." She eventually told him he was "interesting" and "nice", but she should find someone her own age.

BEYONCÉ drew some criticism for her not so live gig at PRESIDENT OBAMA'S inauguration . . but at least for now, it seems like the Internet LOVED her Super Bowl halftime performance. At the very least, former NFL quarterback JOE THEISMANN dug it. Just after her performance, he Tweeted, quote, "Beyoncé [S-word] the house down." (???) He later added he meant to type "SHUT".

JUSTIN BIEBER and SELENA GOMEZ may be back together. Selena apparently spent the night at Justin's on Friday, and was spotted leaving early Saturday morning . . . trying to keep her face hidden, of course.
