"I do have some exciting news about the new single. I've been so excited about [the fans'] reaction and seeing the fans be so excited during the show every time we play 'Born This Way,' it's been really amazing," she told King. "I've made two music videos for the song."
Gaga then went on to confirm that portions of the proceeds from the sale of the "stripped-down" version of the song, which will get its own video (further details about that clip were not known at press time), will go to charity. "So there's one that's coming out on Monday," she explained. "But then I'm actually putting together another video, which is a more stripped-down version of the song that will be released on iTunes and also released as an audio file. A portion of the money raised selling the song is actually going to go towards an anti-bully charity."
Mum has been the word on what the videos will actually be like. Though Gaga, in a recent radio interview, noted that the visual is about "the birth of a new race within the race of humanity. The birth of a new race that doesn't bear any prejudices. I think the most important thing is that I continue to grow, and I knew when I put [out] 'BTW' it would be a transitional moment, because it doesn't sound like [my previous singles]."

"Unknown" Tops "I Am Number Four" at the Box Office
"Unknown" Tops "I Am Number Four" at the Box Office
Liam Neeson Winning what was quite the slow past few days at the box office, "Unknown" edged out "I Am Number Four" for the top spot over the President's Day weekend.
The Liam Neeson/Olivia Wilde thriller garnered the pole position with an estimated $21.7 million in earnings.
Having grabbed up the most money on Friday (February 18), Dianna Agron and Alex Pettyfer's "I Am Number Four" slipped a bit while ending up in second with an approximate three-day total on $19.5 million.
Rounding out the top five at the box office were "Gnomeo & Juliet 3D" ($19.4 million), "Just Go With It" ($18.2 million) and "Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son" ($17 million).
Looks like JWoww's naked body is once again a subject of potential legal dramz.
The JerseyShore star breathed a huge sigh of relief when a judge ruled that her ex-boyfriend Thomas Lippolis had no legal right to distribute nude pictures of her because he took them without her permission "while she was under the effects of pre-surgical and post-surgical anesthesia" last February.
Now, JWoww has admitted that her ex-bf has a nude video of her, which he was allegedly shopping around.
Here's what she had to say about it:
Its not like me posing or how girls send pictures .texting. These are sleeping or things like that.
This was only 6 months into our relationship before we even broke up. It makes me think, did he have it kind of, like, planned?
Given the fact that JWoww's ex has no legal right to release the photos, we're thinking this video is unlikely to see the light of day either.
Do U think JWoww is safe? Or do U think her video will inevitably get leaked?
David Archuleta reportedly has been dropped from his record label, JiveRecords. A rep for the label told sources Archie has been "released from our roster," but offered no reason why.
We can guess why, considering his album sales forTheOtherSide of Down, but it still sucks. He's got a lot of potential and maybe if they gave him enough attention, he'd find his way back on top.
Well, in the end he shouldn't be someplace he's not wanted anyway. Time to start anew, BB! The best revenge is living well, so buck up, write some killer stuff and come back even stronger than before.
Or maybe you could go to school? That could be worth giving a try too!
Before Twilight, I did any movie that I got and tried to make the best of it afterwards. Now, youre expected to come into the movie and provide not only economic viability, but a performance as well. People are like, You cant just mess around. Were employing you to be a star and an actor. Its difficult and its scary.
Robert Pattinson is about to enter a new kind of Twilight Zone, courtesy of David Cronenberg. It was announced today that the Canadian filmmaker has cast the vampire heartthrob as a bloodsucker of a different coloura multi-billionaire hedge fund manager in Manhattan who squanders his fortune betting against the survival of the world economy. The movie is Cosmopolis, a Canada-France coproduction based on the 2003 nouvella of the same name by award-winning American writer Don Delillo. Pattinson is set to co-star with Paul Giamatti (Barneys Version), Juliette Binoche (The English Patient), and Matheu Amalric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly).
Cronenberg appears to be on a roll. After the success of The History of Violence (2005) and Eastern Promises (2007), two Oscar-nominated hits, he has been creeping ever closer to mainstream acceptance, without compromising his singular vision. He recently completed A Dangerous Method, a German co-production about Freud and Jung, starring (in his third role with director) Viggo Mortensenit will likely open next fall after a festival premiere in Cannes, Venice or TIFF. Its always a good sign when a filmmaker has another movie on the go before his last one has hit the screen.
Landing a Cronenberg role is a savvy move for Pattinson, who needs to make the leap from the matinee idol ghetto of Twilight to more mature roles. His is not unlike the dilemma faced by an aging child star. In his previous non-vampire outing, the romance Remember Me, Pattinson showed the promise of a serious actor, but the film was a dud. Cronenberg is always a class act, and (despite his image as a horrormeister) hes very much an actors director. Colin Farrell had originally been tapped for the Pattinson role, until he opted to star in a remake of Total Recall. And earlier candidates attached to the role of the female lead included Marion Cotillard and Keira Knightley, who stars in A Dangerous Method.
Cronenberg wrote the script for Cosmopolis, which is described as a thriller. In the directors previous adaptations of fictionnotably Naked Lunch, Dead Ringers and Crashhe has played fast and loose with the source material, bending it to his own vision, so dont expect Delillos work to be transposed too literally. I havent read the book. But it appears to have some classic Cronenberg elements, including some glimmers of Crash. Heres how Wikipedia summarizes the plot:
Cosmopolis is the story of Eric Packer, a 28 year old multi-billionaire asset manager who makes anodyssey across midtown Manhattan in order to get a haircut. The stretch limo which adorns the cover of the book is richly described as highly technical and very luxurious, filled with television screens and computer monitors, bulletproofed and floored with Carrara marble. It is also cork lined to eliminate (though unsuccessfully, as Packer notes) the intrusion of street noise.
Like James Joyces Ulysses, Cosmopolis covers roughly one day of time and includes highly sexed women and the theme of father-son separation. Packers voyage is obstructed by various traffic jams caused by a presidential visit to the city, a funeral procession for a Sufi rap star and a full-fledged riot. Along the way, the hero has several chance meetings with his wife, seeing her in a taxi, a bookstore, and lying naked in the street, taking part in a movie as an extra. Meanwhile, Packer is stalked by two men, a comical pastry assassin and an unstable credible threat. Through the course of the day, the protagonist loses incredible amounts of money for his clients by betting against the rise of the yen, a loss that parallels his own fall. Packer seems to relish being unburdened by the loss of so much money, even stopping to make sure he loses his wifes fortune as well, to ensure his ruin is inevitable.
Miley Cyrus To Move To Indonesia To Do charity Work?
Miley Cyrus To Move To Indonesia To Do charity Work?
The star reportedly wants to take a break from her busy schedule to help others...

Having been criticised for her wild lifestyle at such a young age recently, could Miley Cyrus be about to prove us wrong?
According to the Daily Star, the teen who was recently caught smoking bong at a party has reportedly revealed an interest in going to do charity work in Indonesia.
Admitting that she "looses sleep" worrying about globa poverty, the singer and actress said that she wants to help build wells to impove access to clean water in the third world country.
"Honestly, I cannot sleep at night because I get so excited about doing good things for the world, changing the world."
However with plans for a tour and a return to the charts, we're wondering when Miley will find time to help change the world...
Miley Cyrus is furious that her country singin' daddy, Billy Ray, sat down with GQ to bash the Disney show that made them mega-rich, as well as for his comments saying he's "scared" for his daughter's well-being. Now, I'm hearing that the 'Hannah Montana' star has signaled that she wants him to clam up and stop acting like another infamous stage dad.
"To say Miley is angry is an understatement," a friend of the Disney star tells me. "She's furious that her own flesh and blood would make a private matter so public. Who does he think he is, Michael Lohan?"
While Miley hasn't commented publicly about the article, friends tell me the actress-singer is mystified, saying it's "unforgivable" that Billy Ray would randomly start biting the hand that fed him, as well as gab about his kid's personal life.
"This isn't what a father does," my source says. "He never said a bad world about 'Hannah Montana' all those years it made millions for the family, and now that Miley has turned 18 and is making her own decisions, he does this. Unforgivable."
There have also been rumblings that Miley and Billy Ray haven't actually spoken since December, before his interview for the GQ article. "Miley has told him that if he wants to talk with her he has her number," the friend reveals. "It's been the same number she always has had."
The eccentric actress, who's famous for her oddball outfits and one set of mismatched shoes, is one lady that celeb stylist June Ambrose (the woman behind Missy Elliott's famous puffy garbage bag outfit and some of Mariah Carey's most slimming looks) would like to help.
And since HBC herself promised her upcoming Oscar outfit will be "a catastrophe," maybe the star should take her up on the offer.
Ambrose told us under the Lincoln Center tents what she'd do...
"She wants to be edgy, she wants to be outrageous, that's fine," Ambrose said. "I'd put her in McQueen. I'd put her in something that would be very avant garde. And I would just stop her when she wants to take it somewhere else."
The stylist said she almost "can't wait" for the Oscars to see what the nominee turns up in at the ceremony. "She still gets press and she gets off on it," Ambrose said, adding that the mismatched shoes the actress wore to the Golden Globes had her going crazy.
"I'm done, just done with that," she laughed.
Ambrose said she knows what it's like to be quirky, but that there's a line between originality and ugly.
"That's where I can help her," she explained. "I'm the girl that creates icons. I'm the girl that put Missy in the blow-up suit and put P. Diddy in the shiny suit, so I know what it's like to create an iconic moment out of costume."
As for the best dressed in Hollywood, the stylist says her favorites are Brad Pittand Angelina Jolie.
"They still really rock me to the core. She's just like nice and even when he's scruffy he's still chic," she said. "After all those children she looks pretty amazing."
And her favorite star of Fashion Week? Julia Stiles.
"I sat next to her a few times. She looked lovely," the stylist told us.
Jersey Shore Recap: Smush Interrupted, Sloppopatumus Unclogged
Jersey Shore Recap: Smush Interrupted, Sloppopatumus Unclogged
In the aftermath of Sammi's exit from Jersey Shore last week, Ronnie was down in the dumps. The rest of the gang seemed focused more on absurd pranks.
Despite the title, "The Great Depression" was lighter fare than more recent installments, with fewer epic meltdowns and more bathroom humor - quite literally.
As always, THG has broken down some of the best Jersey Shore quotes and scenes from the episode in our trademark +/- recap below. Let's get to it:
THAT'S JUST WRONG: Pauly's discover was dirty even by JS standards.
Right off the bat for using the show to pitch Britney Spears' new music video. Videos, on MTV? What a concept! Plus 5 in hopes that this pattern continues.
Despite being enraged every second she's around, Ronnie mopes now that Sammi's gone, whining non-stop in an all-out effort to grow a vagina. Minus 19.
Seriously, Jenni could take Ronnie. You can see the disgust on her face. Plus 4.
Sammi breaks down at home. Minus 10 for not making this a Sammi-free week, 'cause she'll be back wearing her one white skirt/black top outfit in no time.
The Situation attempts to give Ron-Ron a pep talk. On relationships. Minus only 2, because it was nice of him to reach out, but talk about useless advice.
Deena slams cake in Vinny's face, then hides under a bed, only to struggle to get her ass, emblazoned with the words GO HARD on it, underneath. Plus 8.
The prank war gets a nasty when droppings from the dog end up in Deena's and Pauly's beds. Practical jokes are awesome, but ... fecal waste. Minus 10.
Vinny hijacks Snookis favorite stuffed animal, Crocodilly, dangling it from the deck in a stressful hostage situation. That's how to mess with a girl! Plus 7.
Is it just us or is Snooki resembling Snarf from Thundercats? Minus 6, because at least you never had to worry about Snarf getting naked every week.
JERSEY SHORE UNCLOGGED: Vinny attempts to navigate the brown river.
Ron totally is a girl. He's eating himself silly amid all this grief, when he's not crying of course. How else can one clog so many toilets? Minus 3, or one point per.
Which backed-up plumbing event was more unpleasant? The toilet, as pictured above, or what was going on inside Deena's body? Forget it, let's move on. Wash.
Minus 4 because I spit out my coffee as Snooki prescribed it to Deena, saying it will so help her issue by causing a rainstorm for the butthole. My mind is blown.
Pauly finds some ladies underwear in the can. How are you supposed to get fresh in the bathroom with these dirty-ass drawers? he muses. Seriously. Plus 9.
Plus 5 more for this line by Vinny, absolving himself of any possible tie to said dirty-ass drawers: "The girls I bring home wear no underwear." Like a true PSA.
Ronnie: "I'm glad I've got a penis." Dude ... no. Minus 3.
WHAT UP, GUYS! The gang raids the Smush Room to Snooki's chagrin.
Snook bags a "Mario Brother" named Jionni LaValle! Plus 8. But ...
Having been c*ck-blocked by none other than Jionni a few weeks back, Vinny sees an opportunity for revenge, excavating Snooki from the Smush Room. Plus 11.
Later, The Situation interrupts Vinny's late-night activities by feeding him a burger. You know one of these days, someone's going to try to pull The Rodeo. Plus 8.
Deena feels drunk and homesick after a night out at Karma. The Situation refers to her as a Sloppopatumus, which was funny but poorly-timed, so Plus only 4.
Ronnie somehow talks Deena down, and it's actually sweet. Plus 7.
How Crazy Will Prince William's Bachelor Party Get?
How Crazy Will Prince William's Bachelor Party Get?
Danny Martindale/WireImage
Bring on the 3 Bs: Brits, booze and bachelors! It's all you need to have a royal send-off bash for the wedding of the year!
Now that the parties have both been announced and the big day is just around the corner, it's time for the real fun. And we're not talking about a game of polo.
We're talking late night drunken partying, for which both Prince William and Prince Harry have been known to heavily indulge.
The question is, just how crazy is this bachelor party going to get?
Since best man Harry may be planning brother Wills' last single soirée, we suspect these two famed partiers will make sure there is plenty of fun to go around (remember, William was famous for wearing just a loin-cloth to his African-themed 21st birthday party, much to his family's shock, and he's been pretty tanked at several bashes since then).
How crazy can it get? Pretty damn crazy, if the party is left to Harry.
Which is exactly why Prince William has banned his brother from planning the bachelor bash.
Seems Harry's recent antics (he was seen last weekend stumbling out of a burlesque show at 3:30 am) are making Wills question baby bro's send-off planning capabilities.
Instead, William is said to have insisted upon a more private and mature weekend away.
But where could this idea have come from?
Certainly not from William himself, since the balding Brit used to school Harry in getting crazy, but, since he's been attempting to do the more concerned big-bro thing.
Also, perhaps the lovely Kate had a few mellow suggestions for her future hubby?
She did, after all, name her sister, Pippa, as maid of honor and official bachelorette planner. And knowing this humble gal, there will hardly be any kind of hard partying before she officially takes her tiara.
So if neither William nor Kate get to let loose before the big day, what will the couple do after the hoopla?
Royal wedding fanatics, pack your bags, because William and Kate will be just across the bordertaking a royal tour of Canada!
No time will be wasted before thrusting Kate into her new life, as the trip will take place just weeks after the wedding.
As for the rest of the details, all of us are still dying over knowing who the mysterious dress designer is.
Give us a hint Kate! Or you might see some Americans royally ticked off.

Johns latest target Sandra! exclaims the headline of an In Touch story, which tries to linkJohn Mayer to Sandra Bullock.
Yes, you read that correctly.
According to the tabloid, John is trying hard to get fixed up with Sandra.
But the mag says its only because he has an ulterior motive. He wants to repair his reputation, and he thinks that dating Americas Sweetheart will do the trick.
Uh huh
In Touch notes Bullock was flattered that Mayer wanted to go out with her, but ultimately turned him down because shes looking for a relationship and not just a booty call.
Got it.
Heres whats right: The spelling of their names.
Heres whats wrong: Everything else.
No such thing ever happened.
Mayer, says a source connected to the singer, did not target Bullock. Its bulls**t, adds the insider.
Canuck TV watchdog resists calls for Netflix Canada to be brought into its regulatory orbit.
OTTAWA - Canadas TV watchdog has come out against regulating Netflix as online broadcaster. Its not broadcasting, within the Broadcasting Act, Konrad von Finckenstein, chairman of the CRTC, said ahead of an industry summit Friday to deal with Netflix's Canadian expansion.
Local film and TV execs looking to protect their industrys chin against the U.S. video streaming giant want the CRTC to deem Netflix Canada an online broadcaster that must support Canadian production. But von Finckenstein pointed to a 2010 Canadian appeals court decision as grounds to conclude Netflix just distributes content online and plays no active role in the content.
Thats a definition that satisfies Netflix, which argues its Canadian streaming video subscription service is an aggregator and a distributor of content, streaming films and TV shows over the Internet, according to spokesman Steve Swasey. He adds Netflix Canada already benefits the Canadian industry by providing an outstanding way for Canadian-produced content to reach a broader audience, including indie Canadian films.
The CRTCs von Finckenstein added legislative changes will be required before Netflix or other U.S. digital platforms spilling into the Canadian market could be considered online broadcasters.
The Canadian industry players gathered in Ottawa for an annual gathering of indie producers are hoping to convince the CRTC that, if Netflix isnt an online broadcaster, it points to a new model for video distribution that needs to be brought into the local regulatory framework.

After weeks of hype, the "Hold It Against Me" video is here.
Britney Spears' latest masterpiece was unveiled last night at 9:56 p.m. before Jersey Shore, in a stunning case of MTV actually playing a music video.
The result? About what you'd expect after all the teaser clips out there, and if you're a fan of Britney Spears, you've likely seen at least some of them.
Basically, she can still dance, she can still look hot, and she can still pay producers a truckload of money for flashy graphics and elaborate sets:

Cheap Package Holidays From Travel Agents A Turn Off
Cheap Package Holidays From Travel Agents A Turn Off
Leading holiday firms are watching in amazement as they see their customer base dwindle due to the amount of holidaymakers now turning to the Internet to book their family holidays.
Travel Agents have been harping on about their profits not being as big as they were two years ago but they do not seem to be doing anything about it according to our travel expert, Diane Walker.
Diane Walker said: There has been lots of reports that travel agents will be reducing their package holiday prices but there is no sight of that happening yet and instead prices having staying put or even on occasions increasing in price, making it harder for families to have a holiday abroad.
It has been reported that leading travel agents have been stuck with over 60,000 holidays that they are unable to sell and according to a recent news story, travel firms will be having a huge sale, but there does not seem to be any difference in price with high street travel agents making us believe that this is just a marketing ploy to try and off load the thousands of unsold holidays at the same price they have been selling them all along.
After our research, we have found that instead of the holidays being reduced, we have found holidays with leading travel agents staying at the same price and in some respects increasing in price, which includes holidays to Lanzarote in October of this year.
Travel Agents have been complaining for some time now that they are finding it hard to compete against online travel agents and companies offering cheap flights, but even though they have seen a decrease in the number of holidays being sold, it seems the travel agents are sticking to their guns and hoping they can still offload these holidays without giving to much of a discount.
Holiday makers have now become wise and are avoiding the high street travel agent to book their holidays online, where they are finding if they book a separate flight online and book a hotel direct, they can save hundreds on the overall package price.
We have found by comparing 20 holidays being offered by leading travel agents for a family of four in destinations that include Benidorm, Lanzarote and Turkey, that on average we could save £820 by booking the holiday separate and this including luggage allowance and transfers meaning the high street travel agent really needs to understand they are no longer the only point of contact when it comes to a family booking a holiday.
We spoke to a travel advisor for one of the biggest High Street travel agents who said: I have noticed in our shop that we are not seeing the same faces that we see year in year out and I put this down to more people now using the internet to book their holiday. Even with my discount I have found that I can book holidays a lot cheaper on the Internet than what my company can offer and this does worry me.
She continued: With the large number of holidays being unsold and the huge decrease that I have seen with customers coming into our shop I am worried for the future of the High Street travel agent, unless we do something soon, I fear redundancies will be on the cards. We really need to start competing with online travel agents to get our customers back.
We asked 100 people how they have booked there holiday this year and we were not surprised by the result.
57% said they have booked their holiday online with online travel agents
30% said they booked their holiday with high street travel agents
10% said they have booked direct with British Holiday parks
3% said they could not afford a holiday this year with rising prices
Our survey shows that the trend for booking holidays online is increasing with more and more people looking to save money by booking separate flights and hotels, which in turn is bad news for the High Street Travel Agents.
Unfortunately it does not seem likely that the High Street travel agents are going to start competing any time soon, which means it is good news for online travel agents and online flights agents who are seeing an increase in profits with more people avoid the high street travel agents.
Kobe Bryant is hosting an ULTRA-exclusive Hollywood party during All-Star weekend -- but TMZ has learned everyone in the VIP section must pass a "screening process" before they'll be allowed near the NBA superstar Saturday night.
The party is supposed to be INSANE -- with organizers dropping roughly $50,000 to give Boulevard 3 nightclub an Asian-themed makeover in honor of Kobe enshrining his hands and feet at Grauman's Chinese Theater earlier that day.
But not just any schmuck with a wad of cash will be allowed to get all schmoozy with Kobe -- party organizers tell us they will have a vigorous screening process for anyone who wants to purchase a VIP table near Kobe's private section.
And for the fans who can't cross the VIP rope ... we're told there will be plenty of other cool stuff at the party -- including a 15-foot custom made dragon.
Lindsay Lohan could go to jail for more than a year for allegedly stealing that necklace ... and it could happen without a jury, without a trial .... without grand theft charges even being pursued.
After doing some investigating, we discovered the D.A. could drop the felony grand theft case completely. But that wouldn't end Lindsay's legal woes -- not by a long shot.
Prosecutor Danette Meyers could go back to court and ask the judge to violate Lindsay's DUI probation ... on grounds she stole the necklace.
The judge in the probation case could then hold a hearing -- without a jury -- to determine if Lindsay did indeed pilfer the jewelry.
Now here's the big problem for Lindsay. In a criminal case, the D.A. must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt -- in other words, convincing a jury that there's a 98 to 99% chance that she did the deed.
But in a probation violation case, all the judge has to decide is that it's more likely than not that she stole the jewelry -- in other words, that there's a 50.1% chance she did it.
Sources connected with the D.A.'s office tell us ... prosecutors believe they could ask for more than 1 year in jail if the judge decides Lindsay violated her probation.
And one final piece of bad news. It's very possible if the D.A. dismissed the grand theft case, the probation violation matter would go back to Judge Elden Fox in Beverly Hills, who has totally lost patience with Lindsay.

According to the National Enquirer, while Scarlett Johansson and Matt Damon playfully wrestled over a water bottle during a break from shooting We Bought a Zoo, an orangutan whos co-starring with them suddenly went BANANAS!
The tab goes on to claim that the grouchy gorilla, whos apparently taken quite a monkey-shine to Scarlett since filming began, got jealous and angry when Matt started grabbing at her, and pelted the Oscar winner with APE DOO-DOO!
If the supermarket rag had simply spent as much time fact-checking as it did coming up with primate puns, it wouldnt have printed this to borrow a phrase poop.
This monkey business never happened.
In addition to not even having an orangutan in the movie, a rep for the film tells Gossip Cop, No such event occurred on the set of We BoughTweett A Zoo.
These kind of fabricated stories makes us go ape s**t!
Hmm, is this Vanessa Hudgens' message to Zac Efron that she's happy being free perhaps?
The actress managed to find time between all her fashion show hopping to hit New York's East Village, where she got stamped with a giant blue bitterfly tattoo on her tiny neck.
East Side Ink confirmed to E! News that the actress was in the Avenue B shop yesterday to get the ink, and that famed tat artist Keith "Bang Bang" McCurdy was the one that did the tattoo, which soon surfaced as twitpic courtesy of one of Vanessa's pals.
The shop is the same one that got slapped with a fine after they let Rihannatattoo an umbrella and an "R" onto some workers there in 2009. BangBang had tattooed a "Sssh" on the singer's finger and a gun on her ribcage.
As for Hudgens, she's been all over Fashion Week, obviously enjoying herself. When we caught up with her last night and asked her about Zac, she just laughed it off.
Appeals Court Allows No Doubt To Pursue 'Band Hero' Lawsuit Against ActivisionFebruary
Appeals Court Allows No Doubt To Pursue 'Band Hero' Lawsuit Against Activision
Activision
This week is shaping up to be a big one in the ongoing struggle to figure out the difference between commercial and expressive speech, the times when entertainment companies can show public figures in the name of the First Amendment and the times when they can't due to violations of a celebrity's right to control their own publicity.
Just as the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals was hearing an important case involving former NCAA athletes fighting Electronic Arts over use of their image in sports video games, the California Court of Appeals was weighing in on a similar dispute involving the band No Doubt and Activision Blizzard, makers of the game, "Band Hero." A panel of justices has given the go-ahead to the band to proceed with its lawsuit against Activision alleging publicity rights violations and breach of contract.
No Doubt originally sued Activision in 2009 after it was shocked to learn that "Band Hero" allowed game-players to "unlock" special features of the game and manipulate avatars to engage in unapproved acts, from having a Gwen Stefani virtual character perform the Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Woman" in a male voice to making band members do unrealistic dance moves. No Doubt asserted that its agreement with Activision granting publicity rights didn't cover these unanticipated features.
Activision countersued with an anti-SLAPP motion that argued No Doubt's lawsuit amounted to a chill of free speech.
As usual in these sorts of disputes, the question becomes whether the speech -- in this case, the game -- amounted to a "transformative use" of the celebrity's image, in which case it falls under First Amendment protection. The California Appeals Court says that Activision's use of No Doubt isn't sufficiently transformative, finding that the images in the game were nothing "more than literal, fungible reproductions of their likenesses."
The case may proceed to trial unless it is appealed further, which very may well depend on the outcome of those former NCAA athletes fighting Electronic Arts.
Yesterday, the justices at the Ninth Circuit heard arguments from the attorneys.
Kelli Sager, who is representing Electronic Arts, told the Ninth Circuit that courts should focus on works as a whole, not just individual elements, when examining the issue of what's transformative. She argued that video games are constitutionally protected works of expression.
"The First Amendment protects all kinds of expressive work," she said. "Video games, particularly one like this that have all these different elements, are also expressive work, and you're allowed to use names and people's likenesses in expressive work."
Steve Berman is representing the class of plaintiffs in the dispute and wants the Ninth Circuit to see video games as commercial items and focus on the nitty gritty when examining the exploitation of a celebrity in a video game.
"If you're using that person's identity to make money, that's not protected, that's theft of likeness," he told the panel. "If you're using the name Ghandi in an expressive film about the revolution there, that's protected, that's expressive...This game is not expressive. It's like the Wheaties box. They've taken the images from head to toe ...and put it in their game for commercial purposes."
Bruno Mars just formally pled guilty today to possession of a controlled substance.
Mars was in a Las Vegas courtroom with his lawyer, Blair Berk, when Mars pled guilty to felony cocaine possession, but if he stays out of trouble for 12 months, the charge will be dismissed -- as if it never happened.
Mars is also required to do 8 hours of private counseling and 200 hours of community service with a charitable organization. He must also pay a $2,000 fine -- which he's paying today ... because he has Bruno Mars money.
Berk tells TMZ, "We are very pleased that the prosecution has agreed to dismiss the charge."
As we previously reported, Bruno was arrested in September at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino after a bathroom attendant told security a man was doing coke in the bathroom.
Lindsay Lohan Letterman Appearance: Not Actually Happening, Booked By Impostor!
Lindsay Lohan Letterman Appearance: Not Actually Happening, Booked By Impostor!
This could be said about so many incidents, but what the heck goes on with Lindsay Lohan?! With this whack job, truth is always stranger than fiction.
Turns out she won't be reading the Late Show Top Ten list after all. Why? Because the person who booked Lohan to appear was not authorized to do so.
Yes, apparently Lindsay Lohan was booked by some impostor.
TEAM LOHAN: It's apparently a disorganized team.
"Lindsay Lohan will not be delivering a Top Ten list on Thursday's 'Late Show with David Letterman,' as had been previously announced," CBS says.
"We made a mistake. Someone purporting to be a friend of Lindsay's reached out to the show yesterday, allegedly on her behalf, and booked her."
"Clearly, this person was not authorized to make commitments on her behalf. We wish Lindsay well, and look forward to having her on the show in the future."
So who was it? Someone in a managerial capacity for Lohan who did this because of a miscommunication? Someone punking her and the Late Show?
We have no idea, but little surprises us in the Lohan Zone.
All Lindsay said on Twitter was: "I am NOT going to be doing David Letterman, I'm not sure how this happened, but I am sorry for the confusion..."
So are we. That would have been funny. Then again, so is this, and her being charged with theft for ganking a necklace and claiming she forgot.
Anderson Cooper has Tweeted out a response to the unsettling news about Lara Logan and her attack at the hands of Egyptian protesters.
The CNN anchor, who left the country soon after he and his crew were also assaulted while covering that nation's recent uprising, simply wrote: "Sickened and saddened by the attack on Lara Logan. She is in all of our thoughts and prayers.
Logan is a native of South Africa and has worked as the CBS Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent for years.
In the wake of this February 11 incident, she was flown home and hospitalized. She is now resting at home in the D.C. area with her husband and two kids.
Even though Billy Ray Cyrus revealed that his daughter Miley's Disney Channel show Hannah Montana 'destroyed' his family, Billy courageously met up with Mommy Tish at the Hipic Center on February 15. Hopefully, Noah is okay with the fallout of today's dramatic news. Miley is staying strong.
Justin Bieber has said that he is "honoured" that Glee featured his music in this week's episode.
The latest instalment of the Fox comedy saw Sam (Chord Overstreet) attempting to win Quinn's (Dianna Agron) affections by performing two Bieber tracks.
Writing on his official Facebook account before the episode aired, the teenager said: "They are doing some of my songs on GLEE... Chord we gotta work on that dancing. lol. But honestly truly honoured that GLEE is going to do my stuff. Thanks and enjoy the show (sic)."
The 'Baby' star is currently in London for the premiere of his debut movie Never Say Never, and also attended Tuesday night's Brit Awards where he picked up the prize for 'Best International Breakthough Artist'.
He later joked on Twitter: "I got so nervous up there and couldn't remember anything! Lol. I did get to kiss Cheryl Cole and Rihanna on my way to stage. #swag... lol."
Never Say Never is playing in US cinemas now and opens in the UK on February 18.
Hey, Tori Spelling! Is That A Baby Bump? asks HollywoodLife, a site known for childishly posing many questions, yet rarely knowing the answers.
The blog notes Spelling was spotted yesterday at her new Los Angeles store InvenTORI sporting what appears to be a baby bump!
HollywoodLife then muddies the water with older quotes from Spelling and husband Dean McDermott, saying how they would one day like to expand their family.
The couple currently have two children together, Liam and Stella.
So, is Spelling now expecting a third child?
Nope.
A rep for the star tells Gossip Cop that reports claiming shes pregnant are not true.

LA BREA - Taylor Lautner was having lunch at the famed La Brea Tar Pits Diner when he was asked why he had made such lewd remarks about Kristen Stewart and Vanessa Hudgens.
Lautner, who is currently datingLily Collins, the daughter of music icon Gary Collins, replied that it was not really him who had made the remarks.
When asked by Bedroom Pillow Talks' Metzenbaum Kassenbaum, who then was it who had made them, Lautner blushed and replied, that it was his old long time friend from Mexico Jose Cuervo.
[EDITOR'S NOTE:As in Jose Cuervo Tequila who seems to be one 'Hombre' who sure goes around saying a lot of stuff that comes out of the mouths of a lot of guys.]
Metzka (Kassenbaum) asked Lautner if he didn't feel that it was a 'cop out' to blame alcohol for remarks that had come out of his own mouth.
Taylor became somewhat upset and told Kassenbaum that apparently he had not heard him and that it was the friggin tequila that was doing all of the talking and not him.
Lautner hit his fist and said that all he was, was just the effen messenger.
He then told Kassenbaum that he was through talking and that he wanted for him to print in Bedroom Pillow Talk that he was sorry for having made those dumb, stupid, lewd remarks about Krissy and Vanny.
He added that he was just mad that the two had decided to befriend Ron Jeremy and have him convince both of them to appear in his X-rated movie The Twillington Twins Traipse All Over Tokyo.
Lautner said that Jeremy has a reputation for having made over 2,000 porn films and that just because his nickname is "9.75" he thinks that he's better than most other guys.
Ellen DeGeneres revealed on her talk show that Taylor Lautner will soon be traveling to Bombay, India, where he will co-star with Magnolia "The Snapdragon" Finkerbiffin one of the world's leading female porn stars in the Martello Pellagrini film 'Facebook Foreplay - Twitter Taco Tickling.'
After the men, women, and couples walked the Brit Awards red carpet and watched the performances at the show last night, they headed to the afterparties to celebrate all the winners. Universal held their party at the Savoy Hotel and attracted a stellar crowd, including couples Robbie Williams and Ayda Field, Mark Owen and Emma Ferguson, and Emma Willis and Matt Willis.

Paloma also enjoyed the Sony do at The Gaucho O2, alongside Leigh Francis, Paddy McGuinness, Olly Murs, Kimberly Wyatt, and Taio Cruz. Chipmunk and Matt Cardle looked happy to hang out together at The Gaucho. Mark Ronson performed at the War Child party at O2 Indigo, while Professor Green, and Corrine Bailey Rae were at EMI's bash, where Eliza Doolittle helped Tinie Tempah celebrate his awards.
In an article Cineuropa.org site devoted to sales of movies produced by Protagonist Pictures at the Berlinale 2011, we learn that Bel Ami will be ready for the Festival de Cannes or Venice.
In addition, the project that have engaged Uma Thurman and Robert Pattinson, an adaptation of the novel by Guy de Maupassant Bel Ami, will be ready for Cannes or Venice. Rights have been sold to Studio Canal Plus in France and Germany and Optimum for the United Kingdom.
The International Film Festival in Venice runs from August 31 to September 10 and the selection announced in July. In case the film would not be presented at Cannes, it is legitimate to think that will be offered the choice of Venice. Remains whether the conditions to be proposed for selection are the same as for Cannes, ie no diffusion in a country other than the original one. If so, expect to see the films release date pushed back again. We will know more next April, the month in which the films will be officially announced for the selection at Cannes.
Lady Gaga can't remember her post-Grammys party because she was 'drunky Gaga'
Lady Gaga can't remember her post-Grammys party because she was 'drunky Gaga'
Lady Gaga can't remember her post-Grammys party because she was 'drunky Gaga'.
The singer scooped three accolades at the ceremony on Sunday night (13.02.11) and confessed she toasted her victories with several alcoholic drinks.
When quizzed on how she celebrated her success on 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno', she said: ' don't remember very much, I know it was fun, I do remember being called drunky Gaga at some point.'
The eccentric pop superstar also revealed the 'egg' she was brought to the ceremony in and 'hatched' out of on stage was actually a vessel.
She explained: 'Well Hussein Chalayan who designed it said, 'Make sure you tell everyone it's a vessel.' I said. 'OK I will.' I was in there for three days, it was temperature controlled.'
The 24-year-old artist also sent her team into a panic just two days before her performance of 'Born This Way' at the Grammys because she decided to change everyone's stage outfits.
She said: ' designed all the clothes for myself and for the dancers and two days before the performance I changed everything because I didn't like the clothing. I felt so bad because the House of Gaga was up all night and red eyed and I was like, 'I hate it. We have to change everything.' And they were like, 'OK.'
'The problem was they looked like dancers in the outfits we had and I'm so close with everyone that's in the House of Gaga, like Laurieann Gibson my choreographer, all the creatives and we're all so close that I don't want the band and the dancers to feel like the band and the dancers behind me because really the performance of 'Born This Way' is about all of them it's about togetherness.'

Justin Bieber may be resting easier tonight.
The 16-year-old phenom, who admitted to being disappointed by his Grammy loss for Best New Artist on Sunday, salvaged his week by leaving London with the Brit Award for Best International Breakthrough Act.
He had to beat Bruno Mars and the cast of Glee to get that!
And Bieber wasn't the only Grammy refugee to be honored overseas...
Rihanna started out the night in a multicolored, seemingly Cee Lo Green-inspired party dress that immediately had us hankering for slushies and cotton candy, and later quickened pulses by performing in a red rose-inspired mini with a dramatic train. The "Only GIrl in the World" singer was subsequently named Best International Female Solo Artist.
Cee Lo Green, meanwhile, was named Best International Male Solo Artist, but he was practically unrecognizable, having apparently left the plumage and puppets in the U.S. Instead, he wore a black and white Adidas track suit on the red carpet and a lounge-singer style white dinner jacket onstage. But at least his jacket was trimmed in red.
The Arcade Fire, still glowing after their Album of the Year Grammy (yet now having to deal with all the "who are they?" remarks from the hoi polloi), was named Best International Group and The Suburbs was deemed Best International Album.
"Check it out on Google," frontman Win Butler advised whomever is still unacquainted with his band.
Homegrown quartet Mumford & Sons, which made a triumphant Grammy debut performing with Bob Dylan and the Avett Brothers but lost out on two awards (Esperanza Spalding beat them, too), won Best British Album of the Year for their debut effort, Sigh No More.
"We're very honored, very humbled," Marcus Mumford said in thanks.
The alt-folk rockers lost Best British Group, however, to none other than Robbie Williams and fellow '80s dance-pop hitmakers Take That. So there!
But despite the ocean-crossing star power in the room, perhaps the most exciting gent of the night was 22-year-old rapper Tinie Tempah, who won Best British Breakthrough Act and Best Single for "Pass Out," off of his debut album, Disc-Overy. He dedicated his wins to "U.K. music, peace and love."
Lady Gaga had designers up all night for Grammy costumes
Lady Gaga had designers up all night for Grammy costumes
London, Feb 16: Pop icon Lady Gaga caused her fashion designers to stay up all night preparing costumes for her Grammy performance.
The singer threw her design team into a panic in the run-up to her performance at the Grammy Awards - as she scrapped all the costumes two days before the ceremony because she didn''t like them.
The ''Poker Face'' hitmaker played her recent single, ''Born This Way, live for the first time at the prizegiving.
She admitted that her own sci-fi inspired look during the set and the nude-coloured outfits her dancers sported onstage were last minute decisions causing her fashion designers at Haus of Gaga to stay up all night preparing the costumes.
"I actually designed all the clothes for myself and the dancers, and it was two days before the performance, I changed everything because I didn''t like the clothing," the Daily Star quoted her as saying in an interview.
"And I felt so bad because the Haus of Gaga was all red-eyed and up all night and I would be like, ''I hate it, we have to change everything!'' And they would be like (squeaking), ''OK, OK,''" she said.
But Gaga insisted she only changed her mind at short notice because she wanted everyone to look part of one big team to emphasise the meaning behind ''Born This Way.''
She said, "You know because they looked like dancers in the outfits we had and I''m so close with them, and Laurieann Gibson, my choreographer, everyone that''s in the Haus of Gaga, all the creators, we''re so close, everyone in the band, and I don''t want them to feel like, the band and dancers behind me, because the performance of ''Born This Way'' is nothing without all of them, it''s about togetherness."

It destroyed my family. Ill tell you right now the damn show destroyed my family, the country singer tells GQ in an explosive interview.
Cyrus, who earlier this year filed for divorce from Tish, his wife of 13 years, says he wishes the show had never happened.
Id take it back in a second. For my family to be here and just be everybody okay, safe and sound and happy and normal, would have been fantastic, he laments.
I was going to work every single day knowing that my family had fallen apart, but yet I had to sit in front of that camera, adds Cyrus, who also starred on the hit series.
He says he took the blame for Mileys scandals, such as the infamous bong incident and the racy Vanity Fair photo shoot, because Im her daddy, and thats what daddies do, but he confesses hes now scared for his daughter.
Shes got a lot of people around her thats putting her in a great deal of danger, says the Achy Breaky Heart singer, who was unhappy she held 18th birthday at a bar.
I should have said, Enough is enough its getting dangerous and somebodys going to get hurt . . . Honestly, I didnt know the ball was out of bounds until it was way up in the stands somewhere.
Check out this new image of Gaga used to promote Born This Way. The photo is being as part of an international campaign to promote the new album, and was recently spotted all over California and New York.
O.J. Simpson was attacked by a white supremacist in a prison yard, claims the National Enquirer; however, the story is NOT true.
The Enquirer reports that the former football great was brutally beaten by a skinhead at Lovelock Correctional Center, where he is currently serving a sentence for armed robbery.
Inmates cheered as a muscular young skinhead knocked him to the ground, punching and kicking him to a bloody pulp and inflicting injuries so severe he secretly spent nearly three weeks in the infirmary before he recovered, writes the tab.
The alleged incident grew out of the former Heisman trophy winner reportedly bragging about his sexual conquests of beautiful white women.
A spokesman for the Nevada Department of Corrections, however, tells Gossip Cop theres no truth to the Enquirer report, adding that there was no incident at all and O.J.s fine and healthy.
Hayden Panettiere Talks About Controversial Amanda Knox Movie
Hayden Panettiere Talks About Controversial Amanda Knox Movie
Actress Hayden Panettiere stars in The Amanda Knox Story, a Lifetime movie about American exchange student Amanda Knox, who was convicted of mudering Meredith Kercher by an Italian court. The family of the murder viction is opposed to the film. Lawyers for Amanda Knox are also very unhappy about the film being made.
Hayden says the film is "done in a really classy way." She also says it is very interesting to see both sides of the story. She also says what they did to Amanda Knox was "horrific." She says she feels very sympathetic to what Amanda Knox had to go through. Take a look:
On her home life: "Our house is a really happy house. There are kids running around and laughing and joking. I smile so much more than people would think."
On being comfortable in her own skin: "For the first time, I feel like what you see is what you get. This is me: the more natural hair, the slightly more relaxed way of dressing. I feel really content personally and professionally. I'm not freaked out about getting older. I'm growing older with the most amazing man I've ever met with my soul mate. Life's great."
On her diet and exercise: "I'm not one of those people who can't eat carbs. I eat a lot. I do. I run four miles a day on the treadmill. I know that works for me, so I've kind of trained myself. I do lift weights. I'm not very good at soccer."
RT @xShelbiLouise: Miley Cyrus is 18 and she acts like a normal 18 year old. God forbid she live her life for her and not to please everyone else. Miley Cyrus fans tweet (soo sweet!)
Its been a good weekend for those involved in musical contributions for The Twilight Saga, and now we have even more great news: Alexandre Desplat, the composer for The Twilight Saga: New Moon has won the Anthony Asquith Award for Film Music award for his work on the recent film The Kings Speech! Congrats Alexandre!
If you missed it, check out our weekend coverage of The Grammys HERE in which three of our Twilight Saga soundtrack contributors took home awards.
Have any of you seen The Kings Speech? If so, do you think Alexandres composition deserves the award he took home?
The occasionally bleeped telecast averaged awhopping 26.6 million viewers, up a tick from last year, and, per CBS, the biggest Grammy audience in 10 yearsor, the last time Eminem was majorly upset in the Album of the Year category.
The show did best among the Mick Jagger- and Barbra Streisand-aged crowd; it was weakest among teen boys, who clearly didn't know their hated Bieber was going to go down to defeat.
As for the reviews, they weren't all bad.
The New Yorker, for one, decided the show washigh-praise alert!"not bad." And Vanity Fair thought the Oscars could even learn some lessons from the telecast.
Oh, we surely hope James Franco is planning to get his Gaga on.
Ever wonder where some of Lady Gaga's more wild ideas come from? (*cough cough* arriving at the Grammys in an egg)? She's no doubt naturally creative, but she gets a little help from the outside, too.
Sitting down with Anderson Cooper for a "60 Minutes" interview, Gaga admitted to a certain frequent indiscretion.
"I still smoke a lot of pot when I write music," she said. "So I'm not gonna, like, sugar coat it for '60 Minutes' that I'm some, like, sober human being, 'cause I'm not."
It's an honest admission from the artist, who so often bears her soul for the world to see. During her Grammy acceptance speech, her voice wavered as she thanked her family and friends for all the help.
Gaga opened up much more in the interview, talking about her family, career -- and what men call her in bed. And, to boot, she got her interviewer drunk.
It was quite the spectacle when Snooki and Sway took over MTV News' red-carpet coverage at last night's Grammy Awardsbut nothing was more spectacular than the moment when Snooki and Miley Cyrus became instant besties, right on camera. The "Jersey Shore" star and pop-country princess ran into each other before the show began, and what ensued was no less than a total love-fest.
Spotting Snooki during her interview with Sway, Miley broke off mid-thought to shriek, "OH MY GOD IT'S SNOOKI! You're my favorite person ever!"
Fortunately, Sway was savvy enough to step aside and make way for some epic girl-crush gushing:
Snooki: You look amazing! Miley: I love your sparkles, you're feeling the sparkles! I was talking to Pauly about how much I love you, and how my makeup artist and I are obsessed with you. Snooki: Your makeup is freaking amazing! Miley: She wants to do your makeup so bad! Snooki: What are you doing after this? Miley: We need to hang!
And there you have it: Miley Cyrus and Snooki are totally BFFs. But after another round of complimentary one-upping ("I love your dress!" "I love YOU!" "I LOVE YOU TOO!"), things get just a little awkward when Snooki asks if Miley is still planning on dressing like her for Halloween...and Miley hesitates a moment before confessing that actually, she's going to go as Fran Fine from "The Nanny" this year.
Awww. And things were going so well.
Got any predictions on the longevity of the Snooki-Miley lovefest?
Whoâs That Girl?: Eminem & Dr. Dreâs Grammy Collaborator Skylar Grey
Whos That Girl?: Eminem & Dr. Dres Grammy Collaborator Skylar Grey
LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Skylar Grey was the unsung hero of the Eminem-Rihanna-Dr. Dre collaboration at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night, singing in the shadows as the Detroit rappers performance turned from Love the Way You Lie to I Need A Doctor, but she loved every minute of it.
It was amazing, the Wisconsin-bred singer/songwriter told reporters backstage at the music awards ceremony. Ive never played on a stage that big with an audience that vast.
Still, the pretty brunette said she had no qualms about performing in front of a worldwide audience of millions on the Grammy stage alongside some of musics elite.
I wasnt that nervous, actually, she said.
Skylar actually wrote Rihannas part in Love The Way You Lie, and she hinted that her lyrics were inspired by Eminems rhymes.
It was pretty [much] what Eminem wrote his verses about, she said of the chorus. Not as extreme, but same concept.
Skylar also penned the refrain she sang in Dr. Dres I Need A Doctor, having met both Dre and Eminem through her work with Alex Da Kid. Additionally, she co-wrote Diddy Dirty Moneys current hit, Coming Home.
I wrote the chorus to Love The Way You Lie and then he asked me to come and work on Dr. Dres album too, she explained backstage.
Skylar, a newcomer to the Grammys, explained her background to reporters backstage at the event.
I was born in Wisconsin and I started performing at age 6, performing with my mom, we had a little duo and I started writing songs with lyrics around 14, Skylar recounted. By the time I was 15, I had three independent albums
[I] dropped out of high school, moved to LA when I was 17, got a record deal and they didnt really know what to do with me, she laughed.
As for her future, now that Skylars been exposed to millions, her plans remain the same.
Im working on solo material right now with Alex, she added.
Chelsea Clinton & Marc Mezvinsky: Together, Happy!
Chelsea Clinton & Marc Mezvinsky: Together, Happy!
It there's trouble in paradise, newlyweds Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky weren't showing it at amfAR's annual New York Gala at Cipriani Wall Street in NYC.
The AIDS research foundation honored Chelsea's father, former President Bill Clinton, and the notoriously private couple went out on the town for the occasion.
Here's the longtime couple at the event, looking happy as ever ...
Chelsea and Marc at the event late last week.
This followed weeks of rumors that Clintons husband of less than a year had left her after he quit his investment banking job and went to Wyoming to ski.
Recent reports claimed their marriage was over, albeit not officially, after Marc walked out on Chelsea following a blowout fight about starting a family.
Chelsea and Marc denied the rumors, and after seeing the pair together in happy, it looks like this might have been nothing more than that. Rumors.
It's very possible Marc was burned out and needed time off from work, while Chelsea was just too busy to go to Wyoming. Let's hope that's all it was!
Once again, Justin Bieber fans have taken their love of this artist to a disturbing extreme.
For the third time - first, regarding Kim Kardashian; then, in reaction to Justin's relationship with Selena Gomez - Beliebers have actually issued death threats against someone with whom they take issue.
In response to Esperanza Spalding taking home the Best New Artist Grammy last night, Bieber followers edited the singer's Wikipedia page to include such horrific entries as "JUSTIN BIEBER DESERVED IT GO DIE IN A HOLE." The page has since been scrubbed clean, but here's a look at it from last night:
Fans would do well to follow the reaction of their idol, who Tweeted after the event:
Its been & still is a dream to win a grammy. Was I upset...yes. But I was happy for her also. Someone said to me tonight its not your successes that define u but your failures. I lost..but I don't plan on this being my last chance.
It's also difficult to argue with Spalding's talent. Just listen to THIS PERFORMANCE she gave at the White House. Rather incredible, isn't she?
If the First Lady of the United States were asked to consolidate her Valentine's Day advice in one word, Michelle Obama's choice would be easy: Laugh.
She says it's what she and President Barack Obama do, and it seems to work.
Through all the ups and downs and changes wrought by family, careers, relocation, campaigns and more, the Obamas' marriage is going on 19 years.
"I think a lot of laughing," the First Lady said this weekend at a White House luncheon with reporters who asked about the secret to the Obamas' union.
"I think in our house we don't take ourselves too seriously, and laughter is the best form of unity, I think, in a marriage. We still find ways to have fun."
"A lot of it is private and personal. But we keep each other smiling and that's good," Michelle Obama added, saying that Barack is "very romantic."
"Got to keep the romance alive, even in the White House," she said.
After skipping out on the red carpet, Beyonce Knowles was spotted inside the Staples Center venue in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday (February 13).
The If I Were A Boy singer looked glamorous in black as she greeted fellow Grammy Awards attendees including Gwyneth Paltrow, Usher and Janelle Monae.
Beyonce was up for two Grammy awards this year for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her single Halo" and for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals for Lady Gagas Telephone - which she is featured in.
Unfortunately, Miss Knowles went home empty-handed after taking home multiple trophies the previous year.
Enjoy the pictures of Beyonce at the 2011 Grammy Awards (February 13).
He had a killer performance with Usher and Jaden Smith at last nights Grammy Awards, but Justin Bieber ended up losing the Best New Artist Grammy to Esperanza Spalding.
And the One Less Lonely Girl singer wasnt afraid to express his disappointment over the loss.
He told MTV, "I had no clue what was going to happen; I worked really hard these past few years and you know, I'm not going to lie I was disappointed." Bieber told MTV News
Keeping his chin up, Justin added, "But, you know, I'm gonna come back [next year] and we'll take a few home."
Of his performance, Bieber shared, "I got a standing O, which was amazing. Usher and Jayden did incredible, and I'm really excited. Tonight was an amazing night."
Enjoy the pictures of Justin Bieber at the 2011 Grammy Awards (February 13).
There were so many unexpected moments at last night's 53rd Annual Grammy Awards that are bound to go down in the history books (hello, Lady Gaga's egg!) that the Twitterverse exploded with talk of the memorable ceremony. With an array of amazing performances to choose from, it seems Cee Lo Green's duet with Gwyneth Paltrow (and puppets!) of "Forget You" (pictured) got the most love from viewers. Amongst its famous fans were Emma Roberts, who tweeted, "Gwyneth Paltrow #myhero #epic" and Austin Nichols, who posted, "#Grammys I gotta say, Cee Lo and Gwyneth Paltrow, Muppet back-up singers. Sick. I love you, Gwyneth." Kim Kardashian joined the chorus of those who dug the number, as she wrote from her page, "My fav part of the night was Gwenyth Paltrow! Her performance with CeeLo was crazy! And her jumpsuit was amaze." Meanwhile, Carson Daly had a fine idea for the soul singer and the Oscar winner/"Glee" guest star, "I sorta wanna see the gweneth/cee lo green sitcom. They're roomates and break into song at breakfast."
While Cee Lo somehow walked home empty-handed from the Grammys, indie rockers Arcade Fire most certainly didn't, as they snagged the night's biggest prize, Album of the Year. The win may have been an upset, but nobody seemed too upset about it on Twitter, including the band members themselves, who excitedly told followers, "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD. Thank you EVERYONE." They weren't alone in their joy. Case in point: gracious Grammy losers like Paramore's leading lady Hayley Williams who told the group, "So proud and happy for Arcade Fire!! Wow wow wow" and Maroon 5's front man Adam Levine had his faith restored when he rejoiced, "Arcade fire won album of the year. There is a GOD!"
Check out the rest of Monday's best tweets (part one of today's Tweet Dreams two parter!) from the 2011 Grammys, including Justin Bieber's message for fans, Katy Perry's sweet on-stage valentine to hubby Russell Brand and Lea Michele's special moment with her music idol!

Between J.Hud's sleek look, Florence's offbeat but beautiful swan, Selena's classic look, Nic's surprising stunner and Lea's sexy gown, these celebs brought the glam to the red carpet. Which star hit the highest note?
Charlie Sheen blasted the people behind "Two and a Half Men" on a live radio interview today -- claiming THEY are to blame for the current stoppage in production ... because HE'S ready to work!
A raspy -sounding Charlie called in to "The Dan Patrick Show" this morning and explained he lost his voice because he tried to go back to work ... and was yelling and banging on the stage door ... but nobody was there.
Sheen explained, "[The execs] said 'You get ready and we'll get ready' ... and I got ready and went back and nobody was there ... I don't know what to tell ya."
He added, "I'm here and I'm ready. They're not. Bring it."
In fact, sources connected to the show tell TMZ the plan is for Charlie to get better -- which is why the show went on hiatus in the first place -- and then production will resume on Feb. 28.
Sore Loser Alert! Justin Fans Accused of Hacking Esperanza After She Kicks His Butt at Grammys
Sore Loser Alert! Justin Fans Accused of Hacking Esperanza After She Kicks His Butt at Grammys

Someone alert the American Medical Association, because we've just discovered another side effect of Bieber Fever: an inability to lose graciously.
As the world knows by now, jazz artist Esperanza Spalding beat out some notable contenders to take home the Best New Artist award at the Grammys last nightnone more notable than Justin Bieber.
So what did the Bieber faithful do in response? Shrug their shoulders? Mouth "who?" at the TV screen? Tweet congratulations to Esperanza? Hack into her Wikipedia page and edit in a slew of mean girl amendments in a classic case of junior high revenge? Ding, ding, ding.
Not long after Spalding made her way off the podium, and the collective eyebrow raise had once again been lowered, did Bieber's minions (working on no command from their fearless leader, it must be said), headed en masse to the Wikipedia page of the 26-year-old and turned the best day of her life into something else entirely.
So what mature, measured and well-articulated tweaks did they make to her page? Oh, you know
"JUSTIN BIEBER DESERVED IT GO DIE IN A HOLE. WHO THE HECK ARE YOU ANYWAY?" read one change.
"SHE IS F--KING REATARD THAT NO ONE HAS HEARD OF SO BITCH PLEASE DIE!" read another.
"Recently, she won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist at the 53rd Grammy Awards by stealing it from Justin Bieber once again proving how little the awards mean," went yet a different tweak.
Others changed her middle name alternately to either "Justin" or "Quesadilla." You get the idea.
However, not everyone who took to Spalding's page last night (and early this morning) were after Esperanza.
"Bieber fans have recently hacked this page because they have nothing better to do with their lives," read an early morning edit.
True, Spalding does not yet have a hit documentary to her name, but on that last point, we can think of one person who might argue. PresidentBarack Obamahimself handpicked the classically trained musician to perform in Oslo when he picked up his 2009 Nobel Prize. He obviously liked what he heard: she was invited to the White House the same year to perform during a poetry jam hosted by the president and Michelle Obama.
So, let's weigh this fan base thing up: the ruler of the free world, vs. a bunch of angry, moody free time-accumulating teens. Yep, Esperanza's the winner, all right.
As for Bieber, he seems just peachy, if a tad disappointed, with his loss.
"Of course I wanted to win," he tweeted. "Its been & still is a dream to win a grammy. Was I upset yes. But I was happy for her also." As evidenced by his backstage congratulatory message.
The fortysomethings very nearly got schooled by the kid, with their critically trashed romantic comedy Just Go With It eeking out a first-place finish over the 3-D concert flick, Never Say Never.
As things stand now, Just Go With It is at No. 1 with an estimated $31 million; Never Say Never is on its heels with an estimated $30.3 million.
The Bieber movie's take was bigger than the debut of the Michael Jackson concert movie, This Is It. It was nearly as big as the phenomenon that was the Miley Cyrus concert movie, Best of Both Worlds (although, granted, Never Say Never played on thousands more screens.)
And, most important, it was big enough to thoroughly dominate the expectations game.
"These teen 3-D concert films are always hard to gauge because popularity amongst teens can evaporate quicker than you can say Jonas Brothers," Exhibitor Relations' box-office analyst Jeff Bock said today via email.
For Sandler, Just Go With It was his 11th No. 1 movie. Still, his pairing with Aniston resulted in a marked comedown from his last romantic comedy, 50 First Dates, with Drew Barrymore.
For Aniston, the opening was on the high sideit was her biggest debut, in fact, since 2008's Marley and Me. Also, the performance was a marked improvement over her last two romantic comediesThe Switch, with Jason Bateman, and The Bounty Hunter, with Gerard Butler.
Still, the final scoreboard arguably belongs to Bieber: Never Say Never reportedly cost just $12 million; Just Go With It reportedly cost $80 million.
Elsewhere, among the other new releases, the animated Gnomeo & Juliet did pretty well ($25.5 million); the Channing Tatum sword-and-shield flick, The Eagle, didn't ($8.6 million). In limited release, Ed Helms' Cedar Rapidsdid nice work, grossing $310,789 on 15 screens.
For those keeping score at home, Seth Rogen's The Green Hornet is expected to break $200 million worldwide on Monday; Natalie Portman's Black Swan, which tumbled out of the Top 10, should break $100 million domestically around the same time.
Here's the rundown of the top-grossing films, per Friday-Sunday numbers as compiled by Exhibitor Relations:
Lindsay Lohan could avoid felony charges because the alleged stolen necklace is possibly not worth as much as the jeweler claims!
According to several prominent jewelers, the necklace is question is said to be only worth anywhere between $800-$1,000!!
The necklace was sold for $2,500, which jewelers say was extremely overpriced. The good news (for Lindsay) is that if the item in question has a value of less than $950, then Lindsay could only be charged with petty theft, a misdemeanor with a maximum of 6 months in L.A. County Jail.
Lindsay could easily escape going to jail due to overcrowding.
Yet another lucky break for Lindsay!
What do U think?? Does she deserve to be put behind bars?
Florida teen charged with lying to police about âTwilightâ bite marks
Florida teen charged with lying to police about Twilight bite marks
MIAMI A 15-year-old Marathon, Fla. girl has been charged with making a false police report and was released to her mothers custody after authorities said she lied about bite marks on her body.
The girl, whose name was not released because of her age, allegedly told her mother she was attacked by a man while she was out jogging in order to cover up the fact that she engaged in fantasy biting with a 19-year-old man in August, the Associated Press reported.
The girl took part in the fantasy, because she said was inspired by the Twilight saga.
Police said that the girl was a big fan on the movies and books. She worried about what her mother would think after seeing bite marks on her neck, arms and back so she allegedly made up an attack.
Police couldnt find any evidence of an attack, and the girl eventually confessed that she made it up.
Justin Long Talks About His âFeistyâ Girlfriend Drew Barrymore
Justin Long Talks About His Feisty Girlfriend Drew Barrymore
Actor Justin Long says he loves his girlfriend Drew Barrymores feistiness, and talks about making their long-distance relationship work!
Actor Justin Long and actress Drew Barrymore have dated off/on for several years. Long says he likes women who are comfortable with themselves, coupled with a little feistiness.
Justin said, I like feistiness in a woman someone who knows who they are. It comes very naturally to Drew! Shes a contradiction: she can be tough, hang with the guys and throw punches, but then put on a dress and shoes and love Sex and the City. A sense of humour goes a long way, too. Its a tall order.
Justin also revealed he and Drew keep the romance alive by writing each other love letters when they are apart.
Long, 32, said, Im never in one place for more than seven months, so having a relationship means spending time apart. I hate the phone. If youre speaking too much it becomes mundane. Letters are so romantic. They require patience and are unique, thoughtful extensions of yourself. Drew is an amazing letter-writer.
After police were called to the Hyatt Regency Islandia in San Diego, where the couple was having a loud spat last night, Backus was arrested for public intoxication.
Gossip Cop is told that Backus was screaming at guests and the hotels security while holding a bat when he was picked up by the San Diego Police.
According to the San Diego Sheriffs website, Backus was booked at 12:37 a.m. on a misdemeanor charge for being drunk in public, and is currently still in San Diego Central Jail.
Gossip Cop will update when more information becomes available.
Ashley Greene the star from Twilight and Mark Girl cosmetics have teamed up to raise awareness for campaign to raise awareness for Teen Dating Violence and Prevention. February is not only about Valentines Day, but it is also Teen Dating Violence and Prevention month.
Teen Dating Violence and Prevention Month is a national campaign to raise awareness about abuse in youth relationships and promote programs that prevent it during the month of February. Throughout February, organizations and individuals nationwide are coming together to highlight the need to educate young people about healthy relationships, teach healthy relationships and prevent the devastating cycle of abuse. The repercussions of teen violence dating are hard to ignore, but it doesnt just affect the just the young victimized but their families, friends, schools, and communities.
For the victims it can often be hard to differentiate between abuse and someones normal behavior. It is often suggested that those that notice odd behaviors or tension in a relationship try to to talk to the victim in an open manner or offer to get the victim help. Ashley Greene has urged fans to support the cause as Love is respect. Will you support the cause during the month of February?
Contrino himself doesn't think Never Say Never is going to flop. But he thinks it's going to underwhelm enoughsettling for second or even third place at the weekend box office, behind Adam Sandler's and Jennifer Aniston's Just Go With It, and, possibly, the animated Gnomeo & Julietso as to invite unflattering comparisons.
"He's definitely going to end up closer to the Jonas Brothers," Contrino said.
In 2009, a year after Cyrus' Hannah Montana hybrid, Best of Both Worlds, set a new (impossible?) standard for concert movies with a blockbuster $31 million debut, the Jonases' effort "only" bowed with $12.5 million.
Never Say Never has been projected to gross anywhere from a Jonas-esque $12 million on the conservative side to a This Is It-sized $24 million on the bullish side. Contrino is the middle, predicting a $17 million take.
Any of the figures would have impressed. About four years ago.
Can you sing at the Grammys without a voice? One star is hoping she doesn't have to find out.
Pop star and Grammy-nominee Rihanna is in a race against time -- and illness -- to make her scheduled performance at music's biggest night. On Thursday night, she tweeted to a fan: "Bronchitis and laryngitis boo! I'm still goin to rehearsals tho! Sunday is everything."
Things seemed all systems go after rehearsals -- at least as far as one Grammy rep knew, saying, "We have not heard anything suggesting she isn't making it, as far as we know she will still be performing on Sunday."
So what's the latest from the singer herself? Saturday night, she tweeted to Ryan Seacrest, "I'm on every med under the sun! Don't wanna miss a thang!!!"
Thus far, expect to see Rihanna performing, though things could always change last minute.

Johnny Depp Talks Playing a Lizard, His Sex-Symbol Status, and Gets a Visit From Justin Bieber at the Rango Press Day
Johnny Depp Talks Playing a Lizard, His Sex-Symbol Status, and Gets a Visit From Justin Bieber at the Rango Press Day
Johnny Depp got lots of laughs at the press conference for his new movie Rango in LA yesterday. The actor was joined by his costars, Abigail Breslin and Isla Fisher, as well as director Gore Verbinski at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. Johnny plays the movie's title character, a pet lizard who is forced to save the day after a lie gets him in over his head. Johnny admitted that his own kids aren't all that interested in his career, and are far more into Family Guy and Justin Bieber. It turned out that Justin happened to be in the hotel, heard that Johnny mentioned him, and dropped by to say what a huge fan he is in the middle of the press conference! Johnny joked, "What am I going to tell my daughter?" Johnny, who was as gracious and funny as you might expect, also talked about tackling the challenge of playing a reptile and the reason he enjoys making movies for children. He said:
On why he enjoys making kids' movies: "I think kids, in general, as an audience, are the way forward because theyre not sort of sullied by intellectual expectation or this or that. Its a very pure sort of response to the work, and the great luck that I had, for example before Pirates [of the Caribbean], I had a daughter. And for about four years, all I watched was cartoons. Just cartoons. And I realized at that point the parameters were far away from what we do in sort of normal, everyday movies. You can get away with a lot more. They accept a lot more and they buy it, because theyre free. So for me that was everything in terms of coming up with what Captain Jack would be. I trust kids far more than I do adults. Kids give you their honest opinion. They tell the truth."
On how his own children felt about Rango: "They actually all me the Lizard King, my children, they do. I force them to address me like that. [laughs] It was an odd sort of thing. 'Where you going daddy?' I gotta go to work. 'Well, what are you doing?' Well, Im playing a lizard. You drop your kids off at school and give them a kiss, and now I gotta go be a lizard. The things Ive done that my kids are sort of privy to Willy Wonka it doesnt register. Theyre far more interested in Family Guy or Justin Bieber. [Someone calls out, 'Are you a Belieber?'] Belieber? Ive actually never heard that one, and that is my favorite. And you know what? Yes, I am a Belieber. And I shall remain so. "
On how he feels about his sex-symbol status: "Attention is a strange sort of being anyway. If someone appreciates your work, its always nice if someone appreciates your work. Ive never quite understood the other bits, where somehow youve been voted some thing for a magazine, and its a complete mystery to me. I wake up and I have to look at that head when I brush my teeth every morning and its weird, and its unpleasant at times, so I dont know about the attention."
To read the rest of Johnny's interview, just read more.
On what Jack Sparrow has in common with Rango: "I dont know, Ive always had an affinity for lizards. Ive always felt close to them. Feeling somewhat reptilian myself at times. Oddly, I think, Gore might even disagree, but I feel like when we were doing Pirates 1,2,3, at times, when Jack Sparrow had to run, it was this very specific run I wanted. Id seen this footage of a lizard running across the water and it was the strangest thing Id ever seen. So whenever we were in that situation, [I'd] get in touch with the lizard. So I actually think that Rango was somehow planted in Gore's brain from that lizard run. When he actually called me and said, "I want you to play a lizard,' I said, 'God, Im halfway there.'
On his own experience with lying:"I actually tell lies for a living. Thats what acting is, really! I felt, having kids, that I had horrific guilt for many years paying along with the Santa Clause thing, waiting for that moment to arrive. Because youre never going to bring it up them. Theyre going to go 'Hey, youve been telling me a lie for my entire life. What are you prepared to do about it?' So yeah, I had horrific guilt and were now just on the outskirts of that, so I feel okay. These are lies that society tells you you have to keep these lies going, these myths. So I felt guilty about it. I still do.
On whether he likes making animated films vs. live action: "Were lazyat least I am. Id rather just sit in front of the microphone and do the thing. However, the process that Gore created, this sort of atmosphere that was really, truly ludicrous, just ridiculous. It was like regional theater at its worst. And somehow...[it's] emotion capture. Certain gestures, body language, movements, something you might have done with your eyes these animators took it and put in there. It was very strange. For Harry Dean Stanton to walk up to me one afternoon he walks up to me and says, 'This is a weird gig, man.' And I went, 'Yeah.' He had just started and I said, 'Just wait.'"
On how he developed Rango's voice "Early on, some of the talks that Gore and I had about the charactertalk about two grown men, middle-aged men, discussing the possibility of one of them being lizard. So it starts off on a really surreal note anyway. Finding the voice or finding the characterwe talked about when, people in life, they have a tendency to exaggerate or lie you always notice their voice goes high thats kind of where it came from. You imagined the character to be just really like a nervous wreck."
We already know Blake Lively is a Louboutin girl. Now the red sole maestro has gone and designed a pair of heels in her name. But guess what? The Blake is pretty damn ugly. Were sure Lively will pull them off gracefully, but were not fans.
Mira Sorvino's Husband Arrested for Public Intoxication
Mira Sorvino's Husband Arrested for Public Intoxication
Christopher Backus, who is married to Oscar-winning actress Mira Sorvino, was arrested in San Diego early this morning on a charge of being drunk in public.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ cops were called to the Hyatt Regency Islandia in San Diego after hotel guests complained of hearing a loud argument between Backus and Sorvino over "poor time management skills."
We're told when cops arrived at the hotel, Backus was walking around with a bat and yelling at guests and security. Law enforcement tells us cops were willing to let Backus cool down in the drunk tank for a few hours, but his behavior was so outlandish, they had no choice but to bust him.
Backus was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of being drunk in public and was booked into San Diego Central Jail at 12:37 AM where he is currently still in custody.

Miley Cyrus, 18, at the Clive Davis pre-grammy party appeared to be sporting a whole new figure as she arrived at the party, sparking speculation that she has gone under the knife. Has the pressure of Hollywood and always being in the spotlight finally gotten to her? In September 2010 when rumors surfaced that she wanted a boob job Miley addressed the rumors and said not true.
Miley has been trying hard to shed her Hannah Montana image. She has been trying to get rid of the little girl image and make people see she is all grown up. Miley wants to look sexy and get the roles of the hot voluptuous girl. In the dress Miley is wearing to the party it certainly looks like something has changed in the boob department. What do you think has she had some help from the doctor? or is she just growing?

Miley Cyrus action comedy So Undercover sells for Exclusive
Exclusive Films International head Alex Walton has reported a deluge of interest here on the Miley Cyrus action comedy So Undercover.
Walton has closed a raft of deals on the film, which stars Cyrus as an FBI agent who infiltrates a college sorority and has just wrapped principal photography. US buyers are circling and a domestic deal is expected soon.
Deals have closed with Germany (Constantin), France (Metropolitan), Australia (Roadshow), Russia (West), Latin America (California), Scandinavia (Svensk), Benelux (Independent) and Eastern Europe (SPI).
Miley is a worldwide phenomenon as a TV star, musician and fashion figure and the market has proved she has great value in film to our distributors, Walton said.
Tom Vaughan directed So Undercover and the key cast includes Jeremy Piven, Mike OMalley and Kelly Osbourne.
Waltons EFM slate includes George Clooneys political drama Ides Of March which sold last week to eOne in the UK, Tobis in Germany and Metropolitan in France, among others as well as Martin Scorseses Untitled George Harrison Documentary and Hammer Films production The Woman In Black starring Daniel Radcliffe.
NEW YORK, United States The landscape of fashion communication and commerce continues to change radically, and not just for big brand innovators like Burberry and Louis Vuitton. For a whole generation of formerly emerging designers including Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang and Thakoon Panichgul digital innovation is now front-and-centre of their strategies for taking their businesses to the next level.
On Thursday at the Independent Fashion Bloggers conference part of Social Media Week here in New York I interviewed Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, who told a rapt audience of more than 200 fashion bloggers how social media is dramatically changing the way they think about the way they work, the way they sell and the way they communicate with consumers, driving sales and interest in their brand from a younger, tech-savvy consumer.
Following a return to form at his A/W 2011 show on Saturday, the ever energetic Alexander Wang is opening his first flagship store here in New York this week, but is also making substantial investments in his online presence, with a revamped website and online store to open later this year. We see digital as fundamental to our development as a brand, and one of the most powerful ways for us to connect with our customers, said Dennis Wang, the designers brother and CPO.
And big digital moves are also being made by Thakoon Panichgul, the Thai-American designer who became a household name to consumers around the world when Michelle Obama wore his floral print dress on the evening Barack Obama accepted the 2008 Democratic Nomination, and as one of the stars of The September Issue, chronicling Anna Wintours reign as Editor-in-Chief of American Vogue.
Today, Panichgul confidently explains to BoF how the brand new Thakoon.com will bring his brand straight to consumers, bypassing those once uber-powerful magazines.
BoF: At our Breakfast Club meeting late last year, you expressed some frustration at the state of digital in fashion. Is that why you are now taking matters into your own hands and leading the charge?
Thakoon: Yes, in part. I want us to speak a little louder and have more control of what we are saying in the digital world, as opposed just having an audience that justs chats about the brand. I think the frustration also came out of a little lack of understanding on my part; but now that Im really in it and understand it, Im totally excited by it and enjoy taking part in the community.
BoF: The initiatives planned for Thakoon.com include big investments in content, commerce and community initiatives. How will the new Thakoon.com help drive the business? How will you measure success?
Thakoon: Thakoon.com will allow us to communicate our message to a global audience. For us it is more about branding and letting our customer know who we are as opposed to showcasing product. We want to allow visitors to make a personal connection with the brand. There is so much character behind a brand that gets lost in translation when going through the traditional channels of designer to retailer to consumer. There is value in this character it is our DNA. We want to show our customer what we find so special about our brand.
BoF: How will you measure success?
We will measure our success by how well we stimulate and engage our consumer with our content. Our main objective is to increase brand awareness, so this increased awareness will be a true measure of the success of the initiative.
BoF: You will be revealing a series of video webisodes on your new website beginning today showing what happens behind the scenes in your studio. But some people say that having cameras around all the time leads people to feel like they have to perform. How do you keep things real, knowing that you are constantly being watched?
Thakoon: We are in such rapid growth mode, so there is so much happening all the time that im focused on the job in front of me that I dont even notice the camera. Also the camera is super tiny and the filming is very casual so that makes it easier. We dont have a boom and a crew with lights so theres no performance necessary. The way we are documenting is much more intimate, spontaneous.
BoF: Will viewers be able to participate or is this purely a voyeuristic experience?
Thakoon: I think it will evolve naturally, like anything. Its totally new for us that we will figure out what is interesting and whats not over time. But I believe in the organic process, doing things as it comes because it has to be genuine. So anything that we do voyeuristically or if we ask for audience participation, all of that will come if it makes sense.
BoF: Your e-commerce site is due to launch in the summer. Is the entire Thakoon product range available to buy online?
Thakoon: For now, we will not make the entire range available. Our philosophy has always been slow and steady. We want to start slowly, offering a selection what we feel are key pieces.
BoF: The new Thakoon.com is billed as the first stage of the companys new media initiative. Whats to come?
Thakoon: I think of it as a new platform, where we can really play. Obviously it would be exciting to do ad campaigns, but in time. For now, this new platform really gives us so many opportunities, because you have control, you have a voice, you have a great audience. Its a new way of marketing, which is totally exciting. The skys the limit.
Thakoon.com launches today with a livestream of Thakoons A/W 2011 show at 6pm EST.
Report: 'Spider-Man' Tangled in Labor Department Web
Report: 'Spider-Man' Tangled in Labor Department Web
The Foxwoods Theater, the home of 'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,' is seen in this Oct. 5, 2010 file photo.
NEW YORK -- The New York State Department of Labor has issued two safety violations against the Broadway musical "Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark," the stunt-heavy show that has been plagued by injuries to cast members, a newspaper reported.
Citing an anonymous state official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to release the findings, The New York Times reported Saturday that the safety violations were related to accidents last year.
The official said one violation involved an actor who fell more than 20 feet during a performance; the other was related to two performers injured while rehearsing a stunt in which cast members are catapulted from the back to the front of the stage.
No financial penalties have been imposed on the production, but state safety officials will perform surprise inspections from now on, the official said. Further violations could lead to the withdrawal of variances issued last year allowing aerial stunts that involve Spider-Man and the other characters.
Show spokesman Rick Miramontez told The Associated Press in an e-mail early Sunday: "The production is in full compliance of DOL guidelines and will continue to work with state officials to maintain the highest safety standards at all times."
Labor Department spokesman Leo Rosales did not immediately respond to requests for comment by the AP on Saturday.
The producers have 60 days to appeal the Labor Department's findings.
"Spider-Man" has become Broadway's most expensive show and its opening has been delayed four times since beginning previews Nov. 28. The show is now scheduled to open March 15.
The production is led by "The Lion King" director Julie Taymor, with music by U2's Bono and The Edge.
Cast members injured include an actor playing the web-slinger who fell 35 feet during a performance and suffered a skull fracture and cracked vertebrae, and a lead actress who dropped out after she suffered a concussion.
Fashion Week is in full swing in New York, and even there people can't help but bring up Twilight. Refinery29 got a chance to talk to figure skating champ Johnny Weir after he participated in Elise Overland's show. And what did they want to know?

The 256 pages-art book will detail the worlds and characters of the film with production art and stunning photographs by Clay Enos.

I saw the book as a visually interesting way to deconstruct the process of designing and prepping a filmpeeling it apart layer by layer, said Snyder. So much amazing artwork is generated throughout the development process of a film, especially one that occupies so many different worlds and environments. I wanted to be able to share that in a meaningful way, beyond whats captured on screen.
The film stars Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung and Carla Gugino. The film will be in theaters on March 25th.
OH MY GAGA! Less than 2 days until BORN THIS WAY! Its so close I can almost smell it! It smells like Glitter mixed with Rock & Roll
Speaking of Born This Way, the lovely Vicky Marsden has made some amazing BTW fan art as well as some other amazing drawings!!
Enjoy!
Gaga is my Eternal Muse. I find that as soon as I finish one drawing, shes already inspired me to do another. In fact, she sometimes inspires me half way through!! This is especially the case when her truly amazing remix was recently revealed. I had to stop everything I was doing and draw my I dont speak German.. picture.
Well I dont speak German but
Das ist erstaunliche Arbeit! Das ist gut! Wunderbare!!!
Shirley MacLaine, Christopher Walken, Twilight franchise star Ashley Greene and Adam Beach from the upcoming summer release Cowboys And Aliens will star in mystical drama Boom Boom Boom which Arclight Films is selling here.
Bono serves as executive producer on the project alongside Wim Wenders. Production is scheduled to commence this summer in New Mexico on what the producers describe as a magical tale set in a desert milieu.
When a young woman embarks on a quest to get to the bottom of an old family secret she encounters a pair of retired Vaudeville stars and in the process their lives are changed.
Lian Lunson will direct from his screenplay and will produce alongside Aaron Lubin. CAA represents US rights.
This has been a vision of mine for a very long time, Lunson said. The story captures the essences of everyday life but in a fairy tale landscape. It is a dream to be working with Shirley MacLaine and Christopher Walken, both of whom are playing roles unlike anything theyve done before.
Arclight is also tempting EFM buyers with the upcoming Joe Dante teen horror comedy Monster Love
Come on, girls! Do you believe in Madonna? Because Lady Gaga has got something to say about Express Yourself, and shes turned Madonnas fourth-best single of 1989 into her own instant-classic club anthem, Born This Way. Except its actually much better than Express Yourself, because its faster, with Gaga chanting Dont be a drag / Just be a queen. Born This Way sums up everything gaudy and glorious about Gaga, all her politics and sex and Catholic angst and smeared lipstick, in one admirably compact blast of disco aggression.
Born This Way is more than just Gagas heavily hyped return to the radio: Its an event, a statement, the most anticipatrended song in the history of recorded music, or at least since Britneys Hold It Against Me. Its also primed to become the first Number One hit in history to include the word transgendered. Gaga belts her self-esteem pep talk Subway kid, rejoice your truth? okaaaay! over the Eurodisco beats of producers Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow. She shouts to the gays, lesbians, bis, disabled, and monsters of all races, including the hilariously dippy line: Youre black, white, beige, chola descent / Youre Lebanese, youre Orient!
You can complain all you want about the tip of the leather cap to Express Yourself, which was just Madonnas knock-off of the Staple Singers Respect Yourself. But Born This Way is steeped in decades of gay disco tradition, with a heavy Seventies-style thump-thump from Patrick Hernandez 1979 classic Born to Be Alive. (Fun fact: one of Madonnas first professional gigs was as a back-up dancer on a Patrick Hernandez tour, and you can believe Gaga knows it.)
It might seem strange that Gaga chose to premiere her big comeback single for morning-radio commuters, rather than night people who hang out in clubs. By the time the drag queens crawl out of bed this afternoon, Born This Way will already be a TGIF wheres-the-party jam for ordinary strap-hanging douchebags all over the world. (Dont be a douche, just be a bag!) But thats part of the statement shes making here, because Born This Way is her brazen pop move: short, fast, going straight for the throat. Thats the most shocking thing about it.
I have to admit, I was expecting something more ponderous Gaga laboring to prove shes a Serious Artist who can get away with arty indulgences. I assumed that a couple of years of mega-fame would make the Lady sound more full of herself. But theres no dicking around here, no piano solos or Gregorian-chant interludes. Instead, she gets right down to unabashed pop kicks, because no matter how much inspiration she takes from the arty downtown scene she came from, her pet project has been revitalizing the Top 40. So she takes on Britney, Rihanna, Katy, Ke$ha and the rest of the radio queens, pimping her we-are-all-superstars message with a voice that reminds everyone who got this party started in the first place. Thats what makes Born This Way sound so audacious and so amazing.
"This is far from a slam-dunk case," says L.A. criminal defense attorney Steve Sitkoff of the allegation that the actress, 24, stole a $2,500 necklace. "All her attorney has to do is convince one juror it was an innocent misunderstanding and she could walk, unless they decide to retry her again."
Adds L.A. criminal defense attorney Harland Braun: "Even if she's convicted, I doubt she'll get state prison time because she's not a physical threat to the public. Prison is generally regarded as a place for hardened criminals, not someone who clearly has mental issues. She has a defensible case."
Experts also agree that her past theft allegations could be used against her in court depending on whether the judge finds the accusations relevant.
Here are among the possible resolutions to the actress's case:
Lohan could reach a plea deal without going to trial, and be sentenced to anywhere from six months to a year in county jail for the alleged theft as well as for violating her probation. "In this case, the court could figure out a way to make sure she does substantial time and forbid her from early release due to overcrowding," Sitkoff says.
She could also strike a deal in which she only gets felony probation with no jail time and if she stays out of trouble for three years, the judge could reduce the charge to a misdemeanor. Lohan's attorney Shawn Chapman Holley stated on Thursday she was seeking this as a possible outcome.
The actress wins at trial by convincing jurors she didn't intend to steal. However, Lohan could still face a probation violation and return to jail without a conviction in the theft case.
Lohan could go to trial and lose, and could be subject to harsher punishment if the judge decides she was being deceitful to the court. "But if she loses at trial, I can't see her getting more than eight months in state prison," Braun says.

Jennifer Aniston Has Been a Secret Perfumer for Years
Richard Young/Startraks
Jennifer Aniston might have debuted her first official fragrance just weeks agobut it turns out shed already honed her skills crafting signature scents for her inner circle. I wanted to create my own fragrance because for years I would make scented oils and lotions for my girlfriends for wedding showers, baby showers and birthdays, says this weeks PEOPLE cover girl. I would create a personalized scent for them, so when I was offered the opportunity to design my own fragrance I jumped at the chance.

I wanted to incorporate some scents that I love most, especially living in Southern California, like jasmine, sandalwood, violet and musk, she explains. It took over a year to get the fragrance just as I wanted it. Buy the scent for yourself at sephora.com, and read more from Aniston in this weeks PEOPLE magazine, on newsstands now.

Sam's trip down memory lane is an unpleasant one in "Unforgiven"
BI'm pretty sure that the end of last night's Supernatural made me pass out in fear. All I know is that after it ended, I hit Twitter to express my complete and utter sadness that Sam appears to be gnawing at his memory wall faster than we anticipated, and then I woke up three hours later exactly where I had been sitting when I tweeted with the same ugly pit in my stomach. Ugh. This show!
The good news is that I've recovered enough now to rewind and recap how we got to last night's big, scary moment:
Last night's episode was not a normal Supernatural episode by any means. Much of the story was actually told via flashbacks to Sam's robo months when he was hunting with Grandpa Samuel. But in order for Sam to remember those days, he had to scratch at the wall in his mind that was put their to protect him from his memories of hell -- you know, the ones that will likely turn him into a "drooling mess" if he ever remembers fully. (Sigh of fear.) We actually kicked off the episode with one of said flashbacks.
In it, Sam and Samuel were shown one year prior working a case. Sam was shooting unidentified objects off camera, and Samuel had a look of concern on his face. (At which point we were all probably thinking the same thing, 'Yeah, that's definitely a great sign.') As they fled the scene of this apparent crime, a local policeman caught up with them, and upon seeing Sam's shirt covered in blood, threatened to arrest them. Not liking that idea, robo-Sam beat his face in. Again, Gramps, who I'd personally always pegged as a pretty violent guy, chastised Sam for his reaction. "You think there are maybe calmer ways we could have done all that?" he said. Sam didn't care, and they drove off, leaving the cop on the ground beaten (and me horrified).
When we returned to present day, the now-more-innocent-faced, normal Sam was watching bad TV in a cruddy hotel room when Dean walked in with fast food. (Ah, it's these familiar sights that make me want to wrap my arms around our recently re-souled Winchester and never let him go. I especially felt this way during this episode because the contrast between the two versions of the character was presented to us so clearly.) Just as they were talking about how quiet it had been lately (jinx), Sam received a mysterious text message with coordinates that led to a town where some girls had gone missing recently. Before you ask, no, it wasn't John Winchester sending the messages -- although how cool would THAT have been? Sam was unable to ID the source, and Dean became suspicious of the origin of the information, even urging Sam to forget about it. But Sam (using his younger brother powers) convinced him that it was worth checking out, and Dean agreeed, with the coda that if things happened to get "squirrely" (new Dean-ism?) they'd bow out.
Ashton Kutcher: George W. Bush âSnubbed Meâ at Super Bowl
Ashton Kutcher: George W. Bush Snubbed Me at Super Bowl
(FOX)
Apparently, the tension betweenAshton Kutcher and George W. Bush at Super Bowl XLV made the Packers and Steelers seem like best friends by comparison.
During an interview with BBC Radio 1, Kutcher talks about his experience sitting behind the former President during last Sundays big game in Dallas.
I dont think hes very happy with me. He just was not very nice to me. He just kind of snubbed me a little bit, Kutcher says of Bush.
Asked why Bush may have been icy toward him, the No Strings Attached actor explains, I think I said some mean things [about Bush] during the election.
I feel like he probably doesnt like me very much.
Kutcher describes Bush as being curt when acknowledging him, telling the BBC hosts that former president greeted him with something between a growl and a burp.
At one point, Kutcher says Bush turned around and gave me this scowl.
Wow.
Maybe President Bush thought he was about to be punkd?
A rep confirms to Gossip Cop that The megastar is in final negotiations to play the character of Stacee Jaxx in a screen version of Rock of Ages, a stage musical about 1980s rockers.
As Jaxx, Cruise would sing Bon Jovis Wanted Dead or Alive among other hits from the era.
Lindsay Lohanâs Tight White $575 Court Dress Is Selling Like Crazy! Would You Buy It?
Lindsay Lohans Tight White $575 Court Dress Is Selling Like Crazy! Would You Buy It?
The itty bitty number that Lindsay wore when being charged with felony grand theft is becoming the hottest item in stores!
The dress heard round the world earlier this week is actually becoming a must-have item! Lindsay Lohan opted for a skin-tight, mid-thigh Kimberly Ovitz dress instead of a more conservative look when appearing in court on Feb. 9 to be charged with felony grand theft. Even though it incited disgust in some onlookers, its selling out everywhere!
ABC.com reports that the dress which retails for $575 is selling out at online stores that carry it.
Lindsay ended up tweeting [which has since been deleted] her surprise about the dress becoming news: I would never steal, in case people are wondering. I was not raised to lie, cheat, or steal. also, what I wear to court shouldnt be front page news. its just absurd.
The New York Post, spoke with Ovitzs NYC offices, and they say their phones have been ringing off the hook, and they are reconsidering a second manufacturing of the style.
Its been a frenzy! a sales associate said. We saw it on the cover. We know, definitely, that people want that dress again because of Lindsay.
If you have been looking for the dress, you still might be able to find it at stores like Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, Intermix and Shopbop.
HollywoodLife.com spoke to The Real Housewives of New York star Kelly Bensimon, who revealed that she was appalled by Lindsays outfit choice.
Lindsay dressed completely and utterly inappropriately, Kelly told us. You should dress like you are going to a funeral, not a club.
We also spoke toRobin Sax, a Criminal Lawyer and Former LA Deputy DA/Prosecutor, who completely agrees with Kelly, that Lindsays outfit was not a smart choice for court.
I think that she was absolutely inappropriately dressed for court, Robin said. Theres kind of a piece of sentimental witness advice that lawyers give to their clients wear what you would wear to church or a job interview!
A jewelry store in Venice Beach, Calif., is accusing Lindsay of stealing a $2,500 necklace and after appearing before Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz, Lindsay posted a$40,000 bail.
You now have a pending felony case, Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz said. If you violate the law, I will remand you and set no bail. Your attorney wont be successful this time.
Lindsay is expected back in court on Feb. 23.
Would you buy Lindsay Lohan's tight white court dress?
The mother of golden-voiced homeless man Ted Williams has urged her son to return to rehab. But it doesn't sound like Williams plans on listening.
"My reason for leaving treatment was because it gave me a sense of it being scripted," he told 10TV News in Columbus this week. "I was doing live telephone call-ins with Dr. Phil and my girlfriend and my ex-wife and all my kids. It became somewhat of a scripted circus, and a form of anonymity was lost."
How is Williams doing since leaving the treatment facility? He tells The Early Show in the following interview that troubles with drinking are "behind me" and "I am more appreciative of life. I'm not taking it for granted."
Tom Cruise Needed Those Slaves To âBetter Mankindâ
Tom Cruise Needed Those Slaves To Better Mankind
As more and more reports of The Church of Scientology engaging in slave labor come out, not to mention hilarious rubbing anecdotes, a former member has come forward with his experience building luxury vehicles for Tom Cruise after being told it was for the betterment of mankind. RadarOnline reports:
Brosseau, the former brother-in-law of church leader David Miscavige, said he spent six months and 2000 man-hours creating a limousine like no other ever built. The truth is that DM (Miscavige) had Sea Org staff spent thousands of hours doing personal projects for Tom Cruise while being paid $50.00 per week as their salary, Brosseau wrote, in the dossier. Fortunately, I took a lot of photos of things I worked on over the years. The images show Sea Org staffing doing electrical modifications under the dash, expensive leather, wool carpet, a metal contraption which served as a mount for Suris baby seat, hand-made aluminum TC badged treads and a ballistic proof fiberglass roof panel. Whats more, a huge eucalyptus tree cut down from the churchs International Base was used to create fancy woodwork inside the limo. The burl was very unique, Brosseau said. Tom loved it as it had come from a tree at the International Base, where he (Cruise) had achieved the state of Clear in the early 90s. DM (Miscaviage) let him know that it was a special piece of wood from the International Base and Tom raved about it.
And of course that anecdote involved Tom Cruise raving about wood which appropriately transitions us to another little project provided for him by Americas deep love of blindly believing supernatural bullshit and giving it all your money:
The church also gave Cruise Silver Screen a trailer-style bus which was made for him using slave labor, according to Rathbun. Cruise used the luxury vehicle as a base for lover Katie Holmes to begin her Purification Rundown Program, a controversial detoxification and introductory program developed by Scientologys founder L. Ron Hubbard.
I honestly hope Katie Holmes has a non-Scientologist lawyer who was present when she brokered the deal to be Tom Cruises wife because, Jesus, talk about the perfect scam.
CoS LAWYER: So, well pay you $50 million after five years, but first step into this brainwashing mobile where well erase your entire personality and pretty much any memories up until this point, including that money we just promised you. KATIE: Okay! TOM: *pops head in* Does she think Im straight yet? CoS LAWYER: One second. *flips switch* KATIE: Why does everyone look like women now? What just happened? TOM: BOO-YEAH.
For a guy who began his standup career in the drug-fueled '80s, and who's accused of rampant adultery by his ex, Steve Harvey apparently doesn't get out much.
The Family Feud host was thrown for a loop this week by an answer to the following question on the game show: What is something that gets passed around?
When a contestant buzzed in and hilariously answered, "A joint," Steve was stunned. No, really, we don't think that shocked was feigned. It gets better, too.
Watch the clip below to see if that answer actually registered on the Feud survey, and whether a rival contestant, who went the opposite approach, topped it:
The Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion Clip: Kim. vs NeNe!
The Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion Clip: Kim. vs NeNe!
We hope you are sitting down, The Real Housewives of Atlanta viewers. Because the following news is truly shocking:
On Sunday night's reunion special, Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leaks argue, continuing the fight they had from a couple weeks ago about the way in which the former treats her assistant.
"I think you can dish it out but you can't take it," Leakes tells her frenemy. "I don't accept verbal abuse well, and I will not accept it, okay? So I am completely done."
Rihanna is cool with Chris Brown being in contact with her again.
Let's be clear in that it's unclear just how much contact they plan on having. But her lawyer says she would like the restraining order against Brown lifted, which would enable him to get close to her again without risking getting thrown in jail.
Whatever the motivation, she's come a long way since 2009.
Brown requested the court drop the restraining order recently.
Rihanna's attorney Donald Etra says she "does not object" to reducing it to a "do not annoy" order, allowing contact as long as Chris doesn't harass/molest her.
Chris initially asked for the reduction, but the court needed to know how Rihanna felt before ruling. The order has not been changed yet, but it could be soon.
Again, this could be as simple as her doing him a favor. The No Contact Order being in place puts him at risk of prosecution. But you have to wonder.
Coming this May, the Glee gang is hitting the road for an absolutely fabulous 16-city North American Tour.

"There is something magical about thousands of 'Gleeks' coming together to share a special night with our cast, and this tour is one way we can thank them for their unbelievable support from the beginning."
The Glee Live tour dates are:
»5/21 - Las Vegas, NV @ Mandalay Bay Event Center »5/22 - Sacramento, CA @ Arco Arena »5/24 - San Jose, CA @ HP Pavilion »5/27 - Anaheim, CA @ Honda Center »5/28 - Los Angeles, CA @ Staples Center »5/29 - San Diego, CA @ Valley View Casino Center »6/1 - Minneapolis, MN @ Target Center »6/2 - Indianapolis, IN @ Conseco Fieldhouse »6/3 - Chicago, IL @ Allstate Arena »6/6 - Boston, MA @ TD Garden »6/8 - Philadelphia, PA @ Wells Fargo Center »6/11 - Toronto, Canada @ Air Canada Centre »6/13 - Detroit, MI @ Palace of Auburn Hills »6/14 - Cleveland, OH @ Quicken Loans Arena »6/16 - East Rutherford, NJ @ Izod Center »6/18 - Uniondale, NY @ Nassau Coliseum
Lindsay Lohan is never at fault. She's just an easy target. So says Lindsay Lohan.
The alleged jewelry bandit is complaining to friends and family that members of the District Attorney's office are "out to get me" and using her to get elected.
Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers, who oversees Lindsay's probation DUI case, will likely a the felony grand theft complaint against the star this week.
The charge relates to the allegation that Lohan stole a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry store in Venice, Calif., which she claims was merely loaned to her.
Lindsay's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, the hardest working woman in L.A., met with Meyers on Monday, and the result was another day of freedom.
Lohan was believed to be facing arrest yesterday, then today. But now "Lindsay's fate won't be decided for at least a day or more," one source said.
"As of right now, the case is still under review."
Holley has been out of town for business, and it's unlikely that Myers would charge Lindsay with was out of town. She supposedly returns this evening.
Meyers disputed Lindsay's assertion that she's being targeted, saying: "The D.A.'s Office has been fair and compassionate in prosecuting Ms. Lohan."
"The same fairness and justice will be applied in determining whether or not to file charges in the present manner. I think her lawyer would agree with this statement. I believe justice was administered fairly and equitably."
Meyers is running for District Attorney of Los Angeles, but before Lindsay jumps to conspiracy theories against her, she needs a geography lesson.
"Because of where the crime took place, it falls under Meyers' jurisdiction," but wouldn't if the theft took place in the Valley or Malibu, reports say.
"Lindsay has no idea the amount of trouble she is in now. The surveillance video is going to be the strongest evidence against her," the source adds.
Nor will returning it help her. "Just because the necklace was returned to cops, and the warrant wasn't executed didn't compromise the case."
Another reason to worry: "Meyers doesn't mess around when it comes to felony charges, and she's unimpressed with Lindsay's celebrity status."
Once Lindsay is charged with felony grand theft, she will have to formally surrender, and an arraignment date set. Look for that by week's end.
Matthew Morrison & Chace Crawford Ready to Swap Shows!
Matthew Morrison & Chace Crawford Ready to Swap Shows!
Christopher Polk/Getty Images for DIRECTV
Do you love Glee? Do you love Gossip Girl? Would you love to see BFFs Matthew Morrison andChace Crawfordon each other's show?
If you answered yes to all of the above, good news! These guys are totally game to switch from McKinley High to the Upper East Side (and vice versa).
But can Chace actually sing? And what could their storylines be? One of them already has an idea...
"I think Chace could definitely do Glee," Matthew (or Matt, as Chace calls him) told me at the Audi Forum Dallas. "He's one of my good buddies so I'd love him to be on the show. It'd be awesome! And I'd love to be on Gossip Girl."
Chace even had an idea for a plotline for his pal involving Blake Lively.
"What could Matt do on Gossip Girl?" he pondered. "Come in as an unassuming billionaire to some oil company and then drug Serena up and leave her for dead somewhere so she has to reconcile her life. Sounds a little familiar, right?"
It actually kind of sounds like every other episode lately.
Chace also promises he has the pipes to cut it on the hit Fox show.
"Of course I can sing!" he told me. "Like Eddie Vedder and Guns N' Roses. I'm pretty good!"
And as for one celebrity who's already locked in her second guest stint on the show, Matthew confirms that Gwyneth Paltrowis back on set shooting a sexy dance number.
"We're doing a tango," he told me. "We might have a little make out session."
Ashley Fink has appeared regularly on this season of Glee as droll, trenchant, and somewhat manipulative plus-size diva Lauren Zizes (rhymes with Pisces), and she brings a wonderfully dark energy to the periodically Panglossian proceedings. On tonights episode, Silly Love Songs, Lauren gets her first big chance to shine with a featured plotline. So, continuing my tradition of gallingly showcasing the true underdogs in the programs cavalcade of underdogs, I gave her a call and asked her some inappropriate questions about Valentines Day, chick fights, and the Doritos flavor range.
Brett Berk: Who is Lauren Zizes? If she were a Crayola 64 color, a planet, and a Doritos flavor, which ones would she be, and why?
Ashley Fink: If she was a Dorito, she would totally be Cool Ranch. Because shes a bad ass, and Cool Ranch has that tangy-but-can-go-with-anything flavor. If she was a planet? Well, Uranus is the obvious choice. No, Im just kidding. Shed be Saturn, because she likes the ringsLauren likes to dress up. And the Crayola 64 color? Thats the big pack with the sparkly ones inside, right? Id say, Midnight Blue. Because blue has so many great variations, but Midnight Blue is the dark one.
I often have a hard time keeping track of the shows multifarious plotlines. Where do things stand with your character right now? Is she in the glee club? Is she a Cheerio? Is she gay or straight? Is she dating someone?
As of now, Lauren Zizes is definitely in the Glee Club. They needed an extra member because Kurt went to Dalton to join the Warblerswe lost a soldierso she stepped up to the plate. I think she secretly enjoys herself, because how could you not, singing and dancing with those kids? In terms of dating, I dont know if she believes in labels; I think shes an equal-opportunity offender. But . . . I cant say too much. Shes expressed interest in a couple people, and it may or may not be getting a little spicier very soon.
Ive heard that you have a featured role in the Valentines Day episode Silly Love Songs that airs tonight. What happens? Extortion? Infidelity? Threesome? Puck?
All of that. Every one of those.
No. What happens in the Valentines Day [episode]? Theres some serenading. Not necessarily by me. Theres a pretty epic altercation, which is one of the most fun things Ive ever done. And theres maybe, possibly, a throwdown. But Lauren runs the gambit in that episode. I think the Glee Club is something new for her in a way. It opens her heart a little.
I recently interviewed one of your colleagues on the showO.K., it was Kevin McHale [Artie]and he alluded to some mounting antagonism between you and Santana. When I suggested it should be resolved in a bout of Jell-O wrestling, he did not deny this as a possibility. Comments?
No. Im not going to deny that as a possibility, either. In fact, Im going to text Ryan Murphy right now!
Theres some truth in that. That pretty epic altercation may or may not include Santana. Shes kind of territorial, and she can be kind of scrappy. And Laurens a wrestler, so God only knows what could happen there.
Well, everyone loves a chick fight. But what other kinds of deviance can we expect from Lauren Zizes in upcoming episodes?
Well, there is a master plan in the works for her. Not necessarily as of now. But around the Valentines Day episode, or the one after that, she hatches a plan, and it definitely involves some of the Glee Clubbers. And they all get into a little bit of trouble. But not necessarily from her! She goes full throttle into the Glee Club, and I actually think its great. Theres a camaraderie she finds, and its sweet in this weird way. Its very sweet, and Im excited.

EW has confirmed that, as rumored, Julia Roberts will be playing the villainous role for the Brett Ratner-produced film for Relativity. This project, of course, is not to be confused with Snow White and the Huntsman; that Universal film, which may feature Kristen Stewart in the role of Snow White, will likely star Charlize Theron as its Evil Queen. (Viggo Mortensen is in talks for the Huntsman role.)
Lady GaGa has just tweeted the cover artwork for upcoming single Born This Way. The photo is shot by Nick Knight, styled by Nicola Formichetti and the art director is none other than Lady GaGa herself! Born This Way will debut this upcoming Friday, and GaGas debut performance of the song will take place at the Grammy Awards this upcoming Sunday! Keep an eye on GaGaNews for more details!
What do you little monsters think of the artwork? GaGa looks beautiful!

With the news that Kristen Stewart has been offered the role of Snow White in the upcoming Snow White and the Huntsman come details of other film adaptations of the fairy tale.
Viggo Mortensen (On The Road) is in negotiations for the role of the huntsman and Charlize Theron (Hancock) is expected to sign on as the Evil Queen.
The story follows Snow White, banished by the queen, and the hunter, who becomes her mentor instead of following the queen's orders to kill her. It begins production this summer with plans to release December 21, 2012.
Also due in 2012, the two other versions of the Snow White story planned for release include The Brothers Grimm: Snow White and Snow and the Seven to be shot in 3D. Julia Roberts is in talks to portray the Evil Queen, according to New York Magazine's Vulture blog, and Natalie Portman is rumored to be sought as Snow White.
This "Grimm" storyline follows the original German tale from the 1800s, in which Snow White and the seven dwarfs battle with the Evil Queen as she destroys the kingdom. It will be directed by Tarsem Singh (Immortals).
Snow and the Seven will be set in 19th-century Hong Kong with seven monks (instead of dwarfs) offering refuge to Snow White, who discovers her destiny to conquer evil. It will be directed by Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend) and Yuen Woon-ping is on board as the martial arts choreographer.
It appears none of the films will resemble the animated Disney classic with the seven dwarfs from Happy and Sneezy to Doc and an Evil Queen's magic mirror. Similiarly, The Wizard of Oz is currently being considered for a couple of different reboots.
Despite plenty of promotion and that sports-fan-friendly opening number to California Gurls, Glee was down 31% from CBS program after last years Super Bowl, Undercover Boss.
Glee was seen by 26.8 million viewers and had an 11.1 adults 18-49 rating. This ranks as the highest-rated Glee episode ever (which you probably figured) and is the top-rated scripted telecast of any TV show in three years (which is rather great). It barely edged out the last scripted show to follow the Super Bowl, NBCs The Office, two years ago.
While Super Bowl audience tallies have been going up to record highs in recent years (see here for the ratings results for last nights big game), the number of people who stick around afterward has been trending more-or-less down. Post-game ratings peaked in 1996 for an episode of Friends that drew a stunning 52.9 million, then had its second largest number in modern history in 2001 for the second season premiere of Survivor. Fox had the lowest retention in 2005 with an episode of American Dad. Last year, CBS scored a surprisingly strong number for the series premiere of Undercover Boss with 38.7 million.
Gary Moore, renowned guitarist for Thin Lizzy and other groups, has died.
He was 58.
Moore was found in his hotel room in Estepona, Spain. The cause of death is not yet known.
In addition to his work with Thin Lizzy, Belfast-born Moore enjoyed a successful solo career and worked with artists including George Harrison, Ginger Baker and Ozzy Osbourne

The Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers may be basking in the limelight of the biggest football weekend of the year but they're not the only ones playing ball. And they certainly don't have Hayden Panettiere on their teams.
Celebs like Panettiere, Matthew Morrison (as an assistant coach) and Jerry Ferrara took to the field in Dallas on Saturday for a star-studded game of flag football, hosted by DIRECTV.
The Celebrity Beach Bowl pinned stars like Glee's Chord Overstreet, Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr and Chace Crawford who were on Team Spike agains, True Blood's Joe Manganiello and Josh Duhamel, who made Team Palladia.
Scream 4's Panettiere, 21, snagged the title as the "Most Inspirational Player," while Entourage's Ferrara, 31, beat out all of his teammates, including former NFL players, to win "Most Valuable Player" of the game. Both played the sand-filled field for the champion Team Spike, which was coached by Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy.
"I won an award for football!" Panettiere tells PEOPLE. "It has to be because the ball hit me in the face."
Touchdown by Szohr
Panettiere wasn't the only leading lady proving football wasn't a boys-only sport: Szohr scored a touchdown for her team and model Marisa Miller, last year's MVP, dove for catches and chased her opponents down the field.
Despite the competition, there were no hard feelings for the losing team, and most of the celeb football stars hit the nearby W Hotel for a luxury lounge after-party while Maroon 5 entertained the post-game party at Victory Park.
Plus, there's always next season, according to Duhamel, who was on the not-so-victorious Team Palladia.
"We lost but this was a lot of fun," he says. "I'll definitely do this again next year."
Shia LaBeouf got in a bar fight Friday night and was placed in handcuffs, but was eventually released.
Hanging out at one of his favorite watering holes, the Mad Bulls Tavern in Sherman Oaks, California, things got a little out of hand and Shia was punched in the face by a local patron.
Sources close to the star say that he was jumped on his way out of the bar.
Police arrived shortly after and everyone involved were placed in handcuffs.
Luckily for Shia, he was soon let go and no arrest record was made.
Wowsa. We're not sure what went down, but it does seem like Shia has a bit of a temper, doesn't he??
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps star Shia LaBeouf was briefly handcuffed and released in the wee hours of Saturday morning after an alleged bar fight, UsMagazine.com has confirmed.
An eyewitness to the altercation at Mad Bull's Tavern in Sherman Oaks, Calif., tells Us the actor, 24, was taunted by a fellow patron inside the bar before being "sucker punched in the mouth" when their conversation was taken outside. A second eyewitness reports singer Ashlee Simpson was also at Mad Bull's Saturday, but her proximity to the fight is not known.
When reached for comment, Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Taylor of the Van Nuys division confirms the patrons picking on LaBeouf "fled" before police arrived.
"It was just boys being boys. Things got really out of hand and it didn't have to go down the way it did," Mad Bull's Tavern owner Richard DiSisto tells Us. "No one needed or should have gotten hurt, things could have been dealt with in an entirely different way."
The actor's weekend incident -- initially reported by HollyScoop.com -- is not his first brush with the law. Though the charges were later dropped, LaBeouf was arrested in Hollywood on suspicion of drunk driving in July 2008.
Reports suggest that RiRi will team up with Will.I.Am to add some star power to the 17-year-olds album, due in August.
The Whats My Name stars admiration for Cher came after she saw her perform on The X Factor, an insider told the Daily Star. Rihanna is a big fan of Cher. She told Will.I.Am how much she loved her after her X Factor appearance and the two of them spoke about how successful she could be in the States. Will has since talked to Rihanna about the three of them working on a track for Chers album.
In other Rihanna news, she has apparently been asked to scale back her performance at The BRIT Awards 2011, where she is nominated for International Female Solo Artist.
Organisers are said to be worried about the amount of fireworks she plans to use, which would mean they are lumped with an enormous insurance premium due to the added safety risk.
Shes not the only one Plan B has similarly been instructed to tone down his performance.
The awards ceremony takes place on 15 February at Londons O2 Arena.

In an article about 4-day passes to San Diego Comic Con selling out in only 3 hours, TheHDRoom said that Summit is expected to show footage from Breaking Dawn at the convention:
This years Comic-Con in particular is poised to be perhaps the biggest yet. In a battle of screaming female tweens versus comic book faithful, Summit Entertainment will present new footage and the stars of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 while Marvel and Paramount will counter with likely the first public footage from The Avengers.
You can read the full article atTheHDRoom. Cast members previously attended Comic Con to promote The Twilight Saga films, so doing the same for Breaking Dawn seems to make sense!

"Have fun!" advises Hugh Jackman, who hosted Hollywood's big night all by himself in 2009. Jackman, 42, shared his suggestion while attending Friday night's Audi Forum Dallas pre-Superbowl cocktail party.
As PEOPLE's 2008 Sexiest Man Alive also wishes to tell Hathaway and Franco: "Enjoy the gala! Enjoy the first hour, the first hour and a half. From that moment on, there are a lot of seat fillers out there and people who are really tired."
Jackman's appearance as host received critical acclaim for his high energy, his singing and dancing, and his sex appeal. At the beginning of the show, he got things off to a rousing start by pulling Hathaway from her seat so she could help him pay musical tribute to the year's nominated films.
As Hathaway later told PEOPLE, her favorite moment of that night was "being in Hugh Jackman's arms and him carrying me on stage!"
The 83rd annual Academy Awards will air live Sunday, Feb. 27, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on ABC from Hollywood's Kodak Theatre.
Showing off quite the interesting hairdo, a colorful Avril Lavigne enjoyed a girly night out in West Hollywood, CA on Friday (February 4).
The "Girlfriend" singer dined out at BOA steakhouse before going across the road to attend the Giuseppe Zanotti Design Beverly Hills Store Opening afterparty at Trousdale nightclub.
Easing back into the spotlight as of late, Miss Lavigne is readying for the March release of her fourth studio album, Goodbye Lullaby, after her record company involuntarily forced her to take a bit of a hiatus upon delaying the release of her album.
Sarcastically thanking the record execs for pushing the release date back after she completed Goodbye Lullaby a year ago, Avril blogged, Im done with my 4th record!!! Well, actually I have been done for a year and now my record company have finally decided to release it. OMG..How nice! Thanks guys.

Things may not have worked out for the epic bombLone Star back in September, but the show's creator Kyle Killen has been given another chance with his "Inception-style" showREM.
The show, which has been picked up by NBC, is a "procedural hybrid which follows the simultaneous and parallel lives of a detective who can not let go of any aspect of his fractured family after a horrible car accident."
Guess we'll see HOW MUCH the show really is like Inception.
We'll be expecting plenty of "OMG" moments, and we'll also be requiring a Tom Hardy-like hottie, or Tom Hardy himself, to be eye candy for us and to occasionally say "darling."
Camille Grammer to Move to The Real Housewives of New York City?
Camille Grammer to Move to The Real Housewives of New York City?
Bravo viewers might not have seen the last of Camille Grammer after all.
Despite strong rumors that this attention-starved nut job will exitThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Radar Online now quotes a source that says she may simply move east and appear on The Real Housewives of New York City.
"She would consider making a guest appearance or several appearances on the New York franchise, but it would have to be done in a way that wouldn't disrupt Camille's schedule with the children," the insider says.
Of course - as she continues to prove by publicly bashing their father - Camille can't make any decisions right now because she's too focused on her children, who the friend describes as Grammer's "number-one priority."
Also of importance to this self-centered irritant? Not being painted as a villain if she does switch franchises. Says the source:
"It bothers Camille that the producers and execs at Bravo want to bring her on the show to stir up the pot. Camille doesn't want to be known as that 'mean' girl anymore."

Kristen Stewart as Snow White? Here is what we know!
Kristen Stewart as Snow White? Here is what we know!
There have been a lot of rumors over the past week about Kristen Stewart possibly playing the role of Snow White. Here is what we know so far about the role, other actresses being considered and the current status of negotiations!
There were some rumors about Selena Gomez also taking on this role. Here is what Gossip Cop had to report.
So if Kristen does accept the part of Snow White, does she have what it takes to perform this role? Here is what LA Times had to say on the subject.
The hallmarks of the character, at least in the Brothers Grimm telling, is softness and vulnerability. Stewart has done vulnerability sort of in parts of the Twilight franchise. But her defining characteristic has been toughness. Certainly thats been a part of the non-Twilight roles shes tackled, as hard-living rocker Joan Jett in The Runaways and as a troubled stripper in Welcome to the Rileys. Will her Goth aspects mesh with the softness of a princess?
In a way, the Stewart casting evokes a reversal of the Rooney Mara-Dragon Tattoo problem. There people were asking if an actress was too soft for the part; here you could ask if shes too tough for it.
The new Snow White does reimagine the character as someone chained to the huntsman instead of set free by him, and, consequently, someone who must learn to fight her way out of trouble. Lets hope, for K-Stews sake and ours, that means the part calls for more grit than it does soft smiles.
There is also some question as to whether Kristen will even be available to take on the role of Snow White. Here is what E Online is reporting.
While we havent heard any concrete plans for a start date, weve put in calls to Kristens rep to see if K-11 really is set to start filming June 6 as Hollywood Life reports.
Filming would be after Breaking Dawn wraps, but would interfere with Kristen playing Snow White, a role we think she would be perfect for.
Obviously we think K-11 would show Kristens acting ability more (playing a red haired girl in a film with tons of sex and violence) but we have to say, were still rooting for Snow White to win out, since Stewarts rep said she did not read for the part of Lois Lane. Fewf!
Here is what the Hollywood Reporter is reporting about the current negotiations:
The Twilight star is in negotiations to star in Snow White and the Huntsman, putting her on the road to topline the movie alongsideViggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron for Universals take on the fairy tale.
The deal is not done and could still fall apart, but both sides want it to happen.
Stewart is a name that Universal kept coming back to since acquiring the project. Still, it went through a series of screen tests with actresses such as Riley Keough, Felicity Jones and Alicia Vikander. As The Hollywood Reporter previously reported, Stewart was still being courted as late as last week, and Universal finally made an offer over the weekend.
Commercial helmer Rupert Sanders is making his directorial debut on the pic, which amps up the action quotient from the fairy tale and plays up the relationship between White and the Huntsman. In the new scenario, when she is banished and on the run by the evil queen (Theron), the Huntsman (Mortensen) takes her under his wing to protect her, and she becomes his protege, learning how to fight and defend herself.
I personally am hoping all can be worked out for Kristen to play this role. I think she has the acting ability and presence to pull it off! What do you think?
role of Kate Middleton in Lifetime's William & Kate, Camilla Luddington's career was in the middle of a resurrection literally.
The British actress, 26, played an undead albeit drop-dead gorgeous Jane Bennet in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls, a prequel to the Jane Austen parody Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
So who is this budding actress making the leap from zombie vixen to Royal Highness?
This regal role will be Luddington's first time in the shoes of a leading lady. Her previous credits include small stints on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Days of Our Lives, as well as the part of "Uppity Guess #2" in a 2009 made-for-TV movie, Serving Time.
Obscurity aside, Luddington does have something in common with the princess-to-be: She hails from the British county of Berkshire, the same place Middleton, 29, grew up.
And she's not all beauty like Middleton, she's brains, too. Luddington is Oxford University-educated, according to U.K.'s Sun, while Middleton attended the University of St. Andrews the place where she first met Prince William as a 19-year-old college freshman.
As for researching for the role for the film, which is reportedly in high-gear in order to premiere in time for the April 29 wedding, Luddington's good-to-go, according to her sister.
"Camilla is very excited," she said. "She has always followed the Royal Family and never dreamt she'd be playing in a movie about them."
Sources connected with the case tell TMZ the L.A. County District Attorney will file the case as early as Monday.
Lindsay is accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, CA jewelry store on January 22. Surveillance video from the store shows Lindsay with the necklace in question and there are photos of her wearing what appears to be the same necklace a week later.
If convicted ... Lindsay faces a maximum of three years in state prison.
The case could also have a dramatic impact on her ongoing DUI case in Beverly Hills since she is currently on probation
Director Steven Soderbergh has been slapped with a paternity suit by an Australian woman who claims he fathered her daughter.
Francis Lawrencia Anderson says that a DNA test proves Soderbergh is the father of her baby and he even helped her with medical expenses during her pregnancy.
The two reportedly met in December 2009 when his play Tot Mom opened up in her hometown of Sydney. In the lawsuit, she says that he "has acknowledged he is the father of the child verbally," and now she's asking for child support from the director.
Soderbergh has been married to E! personality Jules Asner since 2003.
Oops.
We bet that was an uncomfortable conversation he had to have with his wife.
Parents Call Out Lea Michele for "Sending Wrong Message"
Parents Call Out Lea Michele for "Sending Wrong Message"
For the second time in a few months,Lea Michele has come under fire for posing in a national magazine.
In October, the actress and a couple Glee co-stars posed provocatively in GQ, a spread that caused such uproar the PTC (ridiculously) compared it to child pornography.
Now, Michele appears on the cover of Cosmopolitan in a dress that - gasp!!! - doesn't cover every inch of her torso.
In response, a few critics have turned to Fox News and expressed disappointment in Michele and the publication.
I think Lea Michele is sending the wrong message. She plays such a good girl on Glee and a lot of kids look up to her persona. Then, she poses very provocatively on two magazine covers, which makes my almost-13-year-old son very confused and offended, said Kim Trefcer.
Adds Suzette Valle, a mother of two, who writes a blog titled Mamarazzi Knows Best:
Its irresponsible to be using an adult who represents a minor dressed in provocative clothes. I think Cosmo is now taking advantage of the raucous GQ caused with their Glee cover and hoping to cash in on the press that got.
Study the cover shot above and chime in: Do you find it inappropriate?
Kourtney Kardashian's reality star boyfriend, 27, has attempted to add to his legion of Twitter followers -- and get a new ride.
On Tuesday, the Kourtney and Kim Take New York costar reached out to Sandra Bullock's ex, Jesse James, requesting to have a custom-made motorcycle designed.
"Hey, I would like to get in contact with you about building me a bike," Disick wrote to James, who builds a select number of motorcycles each year that carry a reported pricetag of approximately $150,000.
Days later, the 41-year-old West Coast Choppers CEO -- who shuttered his Long Beach, Calif., shop last year -- has yet to directly respond to the E! star's request. Instead, James appeared to have other plans, tweeting the message "gone fish'n'" with a photo of him casting a fishing rod. Later, James detailed his plans to enjoy a taco dinner with fiancee Kat Von D.
"Mr mason in his first Lamborghini, couldn't find him a grey 1 like mine so I got him a white 1," the reality star tweeted, along with a photo of his son driving a toy version of the high-end wheels. Disick's matching Lamborghini Murcielago can cost $455,000.
Lindsay Lohan's excuse for walking out of a jewelry store with a piece the owner says she ripped off was that the store let her borrow the thing on loan.
The store basically called BS on that, saying they don't just loan stuff out. There are insurance requirements and lots of paperwork required beforehand.
Well, according to a Lohan source, she doesn't fill out diddly when she "borrows" necklaces ... she leaves that to her people, or so pals of the star say.
Lindsay's freedom in the great necklace caper is riding on her claim that the Venice, Calif., jewelery store owner loaned her the $2,500 necklace in question.
Proving that might be a tough task, but proving she's lying may be equally difficult for the accuser and D.A.'s office. Especially if someone else signed for it.
Lindsay is telling friends ... "I don't deal with things like that" and blowing it off as a "misunderstanding." But there's one issue with the "on loan" theory.
When she figured it out, why didn't she just return it to the store instead of sending an underling to the LAPD, just as they were ready to raid her place?
That one she may have to answer compellingly to law enforcement.
Looking ready for a weekend excursion, Christina Hendricks was spotted catching a flight at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon (February 4).
The lovely redheaded "Mad Men" actress was accompanied by fiance Geoffrey Arend as the pair ventured towards the security checkpoint before proceeding towards their outbound terminal.
Having attended the SAG Awards last weekend, Miss Hendricks was asked about rumors claiming that she's been approached to take on the role of Wonder Woman in a new movie.
Denying any such job offer, Christina told E!, "No one has talked to me." She added, "I think it was some kid in his basement saying, Christina Hendricks should be Wonder Woman."
Enjoy the pictures of Christina Hendricks and her fiance Geoffrey Arend catching a flight at LAX airport in Los Angeles (February 4).
The actor, 23, accompanied actress Teresa Palmer, 24, to a screening of her upcoming flick Take Me Home Tonight on Thursday.
"There was definitely some hand-holding," a source tells PEOPLE of Efron and Palmer inside the screening's after-party at L.A.'s Pink Taco restaurant. "The two ate together and seemed really engaged in conversation. They seemed really into each other."
The source adds: "They weren't trying to hide their affection at all, even though they knew people were watching them."
But the night was just beginning.
Another source says Efron and Palmer went to Voyeur nightclub in West Hollywood. Efron "gave high-fives to his friends" and watched the barely dressed go-go dancers "slide up and down the wall" with "a huge smile on his face."
"Zac chatted with Teresa for awhile," the source says. "She leaned in close so she could hear over the music [while Zac was] smiling and slightly flirting with her. There was no overt PDA, but he was not shy about giving her leg the occasional touch."
Efron and his ex High School Musical girlfriend Hudgens, 22, called it quits in December after dating since 2006.

RadarOnline claims that Tracy Morgan, who recently underwent a kidney transplant, shocked fans and media by admitting just last week it was his ex, Tanisha Hall, who gave him one of her kidneys, despite the fact he left her for another woman.
The site built its story around exclusive quotes from Morgans brother, James, and mom, Alicia Warden, who both said they were unaware that the 30 Rock star needed a transplant.
I just found out on the Internet last month that he had the operation, said his brother James. And his mom added, He didnt tell me about anything Someone came and told me they saw it on the Internet, so I was just as shocked.
Well, theres good reason they didnt know. Morgan and his relatives have been estranged for some time and frankly they probably shouldnt be commenting on his life.
Gossip Cop, however, has the real story directly from Morgan, who did NOT leave Hall for another woman after he received a kidney from her. The couple broke up well before the operation.
Morgan tells us exclusively, While I rarely engage in the rumor mill, the erroneous article on radaronline.com is disrespectful to those who have been so generous to me in a time of need and I feel obligated to set the record straight.
It saddens me that my estranged family felt the need to discuss my very personal situation without any facts, but the reality is that Tanisha Hall and I ended our relationship in October and have remained good friends. She was loving enough to give me one of her kidneys for the transplant I needed and I am forever grateful to her and her family for their support.
Don't misunderstand, we're totally happy for them if they are dating like the reports say, but c'mon! Twenty's a little young to get married, dontcha think?
The news coming out of the I Am Number Four press day is that stars Dianna Agron and Alex Pettyferare engaged. This was deduced by sources from the simple, thin diamond band Dianna was sporting on her left ring finger all afternoon. When she was asked about it, she told sources that her love life is "something I never like speaking [about]."
Coy much?! If celebs were more upfront, less rumors would get started, you know!
Neither of their reps are confirming or denying the news, but an anonymous source who's supposedly close to the pair says they're very "happy" about engagement.
If you're happy, we're happy for you but we still think he's too young to get married!
Justin Bieber is the subject of so many rumors, it must be exhausting for Perez Hilton to cut and paste them all.
What the blogger fails to do, unfortunately, is check to make sure theres an ounce of truth to some of the stuff he posts.
Todays supposed scoop: The teen pop idol might be hitting the mat with a gig at WrestleMania.
Biebers peers are talking with World Wrestling Entertainment to participate in WWEs biggest event of the year, WRESTLEMAINIA (sic) announces Hilton.
Were not sure what cross-over audience Just-Biebs and WWE might have, he adds. BUT, according to sources, talks have been ongoing for several months and a deal for Biebs to perform at the event may be reached soon.
Wait, there may be an imminent deal bringing together Bieber and pro wrestling?
Umm, no, dont count on it.
When Gossip Cop asked whether there was any truth to the rumor, a rep for Bieber said, None.

Of course, Charlie's party marathon ended with a trip to the hospital ... followed by rehab.
As we all know, James Franco likes to walk to the beat of his own bizarre drum, and recently left audiences baffled at the Sundance Film Festival with a temporary art-installation that recreated episodes of Three's Company!
However, it must have gotten SOME people thinking, because now the actor has revealed that he currently has a stage adaptation of the ABC sitcom in the works, and hopes to have it off the ground within the next few years!
He explains:
"When we came here, then the 'Three's Company' people contacted us like, 'What's going on?' So we had a talk with them, and they realized what we're doing is a cool thing. Otherwise, there's no other circumstance where 'Three's Company' would ever play at the Sundance FilmFestival. They were like, 'Yes, we've been trying to figure out ways of bringing it back in some form or another. We want to do more projects with you.' So now, we're planning and this is serious 'Three's Company,' the off-Broadway play. I think it needs to be developed a little more, something a little different but connected to the original."
LOLz!
We don't even want to BEGIN to think about what kind of ca-raazy direction he is going to take this 'adaptation!'
But we're also kind of excited to see what becomes of it! Lord knows it's going to be weeeeeeird!
And will he HIMSELF be featured in the play?! We hope so!
Keep the ridiculousness coming, bb! We're obsessed!
