HOT AND SEXY E-CELEBRITY

The Twilight Saga:The New Moon release on 20 November (Today) 2009.

2009-11-20T16:50:00.002+07:00

New Moon is Stephenie Meyer's second book in the Twilight series. According to Meyer, the book is about losing true love.An upcoming film adaptation is tentatively set for release on November 20 (Today), 2009.

Kristen Stewart’s gloominess may be the biggest, but it’s far from the only, problem with “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” the hugely anticipated second chapter in the series. There’s the music, which threatens to suffocate you in its maudlin grasp within the film’s first five minutes. Toss in dialogue so wooden it could float, a bloated 130 minute running time, and you have a languid, campy affair that would seem right at home on a Saturday night airing on the Disney Channel.

[Considering the amount of bare-chested teen heartthrobs on display in “New Moon”, maybe Nickelodeon After Dark would be a better option.]

Director Chris Weitz, hired to replace Catherine Hardwicke, seems as confounded by the material as his predecessor. The movie often feels more padded than the Joker's cell at Arkham. Weitz even fumbles a product placement bit early on.

From the start in this movie, Bella and Edward’s star-crossed romance is on the ropes. A paper cut at Bella’s 18th birthday party convinces Edward (Robert Pattinson) his supernatural world is no place for the girl he loves, so he breaks up with her and leaves Forks with the rest of his family.

Bella, desperate to become part of Edward’s world in blood and spirit, is crushed. Her depression spiral has all the usual trimmings, from the absent glare to the isolation from her friends, even a brooding alt-rock soundtrack. She then decides to embrace her inner X-Games contestant, knowing she can summon Edward’s spirit by risking her life dirt biking and cliff diving.

And Edward does show up, constantly. Considering Pattinson’s huge appeal, the decision to have him show up in ghostly fashion so he wouldn’t disappear for an hour makes marketing sense. But Weitz executes Edward’s apparitional appearances in such clumsy fashion, they evoked steady laughter from the audience at the screening I attended.

Two of the bright spots from the first film, Edward’s family and Bella’s ‘normal’ high school friends, are reduced to glorified cameos this time around. Only Edward’s sister Alice (Ashley Greene) gets any meaningful screen time.

Edward’s disappearance allows Bella to reconnect with her childhood friend from the Quileute tribe, Jacob (Taylor Lautner). He helps her rebuild a motorcycle and more important, gets her to snap out of her love funk. Jacob also wants Bella for himself, but she’s not ready yet.

Jacob struggles with being the ‘rebound guy’ – not to mention ridiculous hair extensions – and it doesn’t help his mood that he has a secret of his own.

At first, Bella thinks Jacob’s new friends are trouble. And the fact that they always run around shirtless and in jean shorts is a bit unsettling. Soon, however, she learns the truth. Jacob and his buddies are werewolves, guarding against their natural enemies, vampires.

This puts Bella in an uncomfortable position. She’s starting to care about Jacob, but she just can’t quit Edward. Does she go with the safe choice, the dear friend she could grow to love, or does she hold on to the torch for the ‘one that got away?’

An interesting subplot with The Volturi, the aristocracy of the vampire world, adds some excitement to the mix. A distraught Edward turns to them as a way to end his tortured existence, setting up the film’s climax.

Sandwiched in between “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans” and the upcoming “Tron Legacy,” Michael Sheen continues to build his Comic-Con cred as Aro, the head of the Volturi.

The scenes at the Volturi stronghold in Italy are the high point of the picture, and it would have been nicer to delve deeper into that corridor of the Twilight mythology. And it should be noted that the wolf transformations illustrated a marked improvement in CGI work over the first movie.

But the focus is squarely on the love triangle at the root of this story. And truth be told, it has the potential for intriguing drama, especially with the supernatural werewolves vs. vampires setting.

Too bad neither the director, script nor the actors are up to the challenge.

As Bella, Kristen Stewart is the focal point of the movie. But her character’s surliness is hard to empathize with, and Stewart, with her unsure glances and awkward body language, is simply not a strong enough actress to bring you into her corner. Can she handle any role besides the ‘uncomfortable in her own skin’ teen? Judging from the two "Twilight" movies, “Cake Eaters” and “Adventureland,” the answer right now would have to be no.

Robert Pattinson revisits the brooding man bit that earned him the worship of millions of women young and uncomfortably old the first time around. He struts through his scenes here like a vampiric Chuck Bass traversing the VIP rooms of Manhattan’s nightlife scene.

Lautner actually spends more time onscreen with Stewart than his more-photographed co-star. But there is zero chemistry between the two, and while he obviously spent many hours in the gym, his acting muscles aren’t developed enough to overcome the stilted dialogue.

Besides, Team Jacob never stands a chance anyway. It’s all about Edward/Bella. Weitz goes all-in with the Romeo and Juliet comparisons. In case you don’t notice the copy of Shakespeare’s tale Bella goes to bed with, there’s the English class discussion of the story to sledgehammer the point home.

It all rings false. Why? Because the actors don’t seem to believe what they’re saying any more than the audience buys what they’re selling. And when the actors in a movie about young vampire love and lurking werewolves aren’t fully invested in the material...well, then you’re only a few years away from midnight audience participation showings at the Sunshine.

You know those insufferably cute happy-date montages they always use in romantic comedies? Edward and Bella needed one of those, to show us that this couple hasn’t been miserable from Day 1 of their relationship. All these two do is whine and make empty declarations of love and devotion. ALL THE TIME!

And saying ‘it’s in the books’ doesn’t cut it. An adaptation of a novel should be able to stand on its own, without forcing people (like this writer) to read the books to fill in the blanks.

Love and romance doesn’t have to be as hard as Edward and Bella make it out to be. It could, and should actually, be...wait for it...fun. Instead, “New Moon” shows us a love pairing that gives Ryan Atwood and Marissa Cooper a run for their melancholia.

Robert Pattinson interview with David Letterman

2009-11-20T16:35:00.000+07:00

English actor and model Robert Pattinson, who is the best known for playing Edward Cullen in the film adaptation of Twilight Letterman appearance reveals all.

Let's face it: you probably don't love Edward Cullen because of Edward Cullen. You probably love Edward Cullen because of Robert Pattinson. Pattinson's press tour to promote the Twilight Saga: New Moon has been ruthless, yet he's still charming crowds with his lovable high-energy. His appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman Wednesday night was a prime display of Pattinson preciousness, and we have video here.

Rob talked about dating, his first film ("My entire part was dubbed over by another actor," he laughs), biting, and -- our favorite part -- what it's like for a British actor to speak with an American accent. Watch Robert Pattinson's Letterman interview to see what two American words are the funniest for a Brit to say.

It was a very charming interview. We can also tell that Dave doesn't understand the Twilight craze. That's ok - we do!

Celine Dion's Pregnancy without her Husband

2009-11-12T13:30:00.000+07:00

Canadian singer and actress Celine Dion's August pregnancy has ended in a miscarriage. This was their second attempt to become pregnant by artificial insemination.

Last March, it was reported that the 41-year-old singer and her husband, Rene Angelil, 67, would take an 18-month break from touring to focus on adding a second child to their family. They already have an eight-year-old son, Rene-Charles, and were planning on using an eight-year-old embryo to conceive.

We live the reality of the majority of the couples which face these techniques of procreation. The road can be long and difficult. That always does not function as it was the case the first time with Rene-Charles. Last August, Dr. Zev Rosenwaks believed that the pregnancy was well started. However, it was not the case. We knew it ten days later. We were certainly under the shock."

Celine and me let us please especially say that we are not discouraged, that with our son, we know that we are privileged parents. And that we again try to live this second pregnancy with the assistance of the team of Doctor Zev Rosenwaks." [Source: Le Journal de Montréal]

They intend to head to New York soon for a third try with artificial insemination.

American actress and model Lindsay Lohan and Scottish actor Gerard James Butle whilst partying in Monaco.The Sex and the City stars have inhabited Morocco, and they're not the only celebs there. Turns out dozens of personalities turned up Saturday night for the all-expenses-paid opening of the exclusive Mazagan Resort in the Moroccan city El Jadida. Among them? Lindsay Lohan and Gerard Butler, who, after a few dozen glasses of Veuve Clicquot champagne, are said to have hooked up, that's what witnesses say.

Lindsay Lohan, 23, and Gerard Butler, 39, flirted and canoodled all evening at the $3.5 million hotel's Sancturary bar, then they reportedly slipped away together on a golf cart. Before they made their exit Lindsay's quoted telling reporters from a British newspaper, "He's hot, he's mine! I've got no ring on my finger so I'm going to have lots of fun. This is the most romantic place in the world."
Other sources say Gerard Butler was hitting on lots of different women that night and that he and Lindsay only danced together...but still...an odd pair to see getting cozy. However according to reports about the party's atmosphere, it's no shock they were feeling the fire. Witnesses say 50 Arabian horses lined the entrance and attendees could pose for photos with live snakes and monkeys. There was a major fireworks extravaganza, as well as 100,000 candles adorning the outdoor pool area and petals from 100,000 red and white roses were scattered around the premises.

The Twilight Saga:The New Moon movie is super-emotional romantic movie

2009-10-29T02:57:00.000+07:00

New Moon director Chris Weitz has revealed that the movie is a super-emotional romantic roller-coaster, and Weitz wants his audience to be ready for the ride. "I would like to be able to produce more tears than any movie before, if possible," Weitz was quoted saying on Tuesday.

What's the tear-jerker? You got it: romance! "We've tried our best to deliver on the romantic scenes in the film," Weitz said. "If we could only weigh them with some kind of cubic tear measure!"

Or they could weigh them in box office sales. Many theaters already have begun selling advance tickets to New Moon so viewers can see exactly what will happen between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in this hotly-anticipated second film installment of the Twilight series. Weitz revealed that during filming, the public was obsessed with getting a sneak-peek at the New Moon stars. "I can remember trying to barricade some windows by turning tables over so that they couldn't look in at a cast dinner that they we were having," Weitz said. "When the cast went back to Vancouver there were cameras everywhere. Everyone knows where every set is going to be. It goes with the Internet and all the information is out there all the time, and whenever one of them is spotted it's immediately Twittered."

Actress Miley Cyrus worst celebrity influence of 2009 ; JSYK.com

2009-10-29T02:39:00.001+07:00

American pop singer and television and film actress Miley Ray Cyrus is best known for starring as the title character in the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana.She one of Disney's hottest stars of the past three years with hit records and hit films, has been voted the worst celebrity influence of 2009 by the very people who made her a star, tweens and teens, according to an online poll on Wednesday.

Cyrus, 16, took 42 percent of votes in the poll for AOL's JSYK.com (Just So You Know) website aimed at 9-15 year-olds, pushing Britney Spears and rapper Kanye West into second and third places, respectively, in a section on worst celebrity influences of the year.

No reasons were given for the poor showing of the singer-actress and the popular star of Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana" television series.

But the ranking follows a year which has seen Cyrus controversially dating a 20 year-old model, making "slant eyes" in an informal snapshot criticized as mocking Asians, and being accused of pole-dancing on a teen awards show.

Cyrus also came in No. 4 in the category of favorite female artist, behind 19-year-old country sensation Taylor Swift, "I Kissed a Girl" singer Katy Perry and R&B star Beyonce. The poll attracted almost 50,000 votes.

"I think Miley is in an interesting space where she is trying to graduate from being 'Hannah Montana' and a Disney channel celebrity and coming into her own and having a career beyond Disney," said Stephanie Cohen, editor of JSYK.com.

"I think her fans still want her to be the sweet Hannah Montana and she is trying to age up...Parents are definitely resisting it," Cohen told Reuters.

Cyrus has been one of the biggest teen idols in the world since 2006, selling more than 7 million albums, starting her own fashion line, and taking $154 million at the worldwide box-office for "Hannah Montana: The Movie" in 2009.

West, whose interruption of Swift's acceptance speech at a music award show in September was deemed the most shocking moment of 2009, took 19 percent of votes in the worst celebrity influence section.

Swift, the best-selling U.S. artist of 2008, has risen again in popularity this year.

"I think Taylor Swift has done a great job of showing her true self and coming across as very sweet and down to earth. A lot of her songs are about the underdog and teens can really relate to her," said Cohen.

Elsewhere, the stars of vampire movies "Twilight" and its forthcoming sequel "New Moon" dominated the JSYK.com poll. Kristen Stewart was voted favorite female movie actress and Taylor Lautner surged past Robert Pattinson in both the favorite male movie star and "cool guy you'd like to hang out with" categories.

Fashion model Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were married on Sunday

2009-10-28T01:53:00.000+07:00

Fashion model Ivanka Trump and New York Observer Publisher Jared Kushner were married Sunday at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., during a lavish ceremony and reception, according to People. "Ivanka wore the most beautiful dress by Vera Wang that was reminiscent of Grace Kelly," Barbara Walters, a guest at the ceremony, reported on The View this morning.

Ivanka, an executive VP in her father's organization, and Jared, whose father, Charles, is also a real estate developer, like Donald Trump, began dating in 2007 and got engaged last July. Ivanka spent 18 months converting to Judaism for Jared, and the wedding was an Orthodox ceremony, complete with invitations printed in both English and Aramaic. "I only had a three-month engagement so it was all done pretty quickly," Ivanka recently said at a launch party for her book, Trump Card. "To all those women planning a wedding, just be organized and decisive. It also helps if you have a wedding planner helping you out!" Wedding Planning 101

We assume it also helps when your dad owns the venue, but, you know, details. The Donald is on the record as approving of Jared, which had to be a relief to Ivanka. Seriously, imagine bringing your boyfriend home to that guy, with his hand gestures and magnificent branded vodka.

Other guests at the wedding included New York gubernatorial aspirant and famous rodent-face Rudy Giuliani; Baba Wawa and her date, The View executive producer Bill Geddie; and of course Ivanka's mother and stepmother, Donald's first and third wives. Sources said Ivana and Melania were cordial. Advice: Your Ex Husband, His New Wife, Your Kids

Aside from their respective fortunes, Ivanka and Jared already have a leg up on many newlywed couples. Ivanka told New York Magazine earlier this year that they make a great match because they understand each other's demanding work schedules, and neither expects the other to put career aside for family. A relationship based on mutual understanding and compromise? That'll never work!

Twilight star Julia Jones's interview with LimeLife

2009-10-28T01:48:00.000+07:00

The Twilight Saga star,who role as Leah Clearwater, Julia Jones spoke exclusively with LimeLife upon returning to Los Angeles from the Eclipse sets in Vancouver.
Leah Clearwater's Julia Jones opens up on her "really good job," new opportunities and - yes! - working with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
Here we kick off a highly-coveted two-week series where she shares the shocking story behind landing the part of Leah, the ways your life transforms when you've starred in the biggest film franchise in the world, and the inside truth about Twilight cast relationships.

Interview Highlights:

LimeLife: Julia, you've just played this amazing role in Eclipse and we can't wait to hear about it. First though, can you tell us from where else we might know you?

Julia Jones: Probably the most notable thing was that I did a recurring role on ER. I appeared in their final season [as Dr. Kaya Montoya], so it was pretty cool to be a part of something that great and large as it was closing. Everybody was appreciating it, so it was a good time to be involved.

LimeLife: We heard that there were open casting calls for Eclipse. How exactly did you score the part of Leah Clearwater?

Julia Jones: The casting director I've had a relationship with for a number of years. She actually just called us up and I went in and auditioned for the director David Slade and for her, and came back about a week later and read for some people from Summit and David again and some of the producers. And then I waited for about a month before I heard anything, and you're right, in that time they were doing huge casting calls and going up to Canada. I think they accepted tapes from anybody so really anyone in the world could put themselves on tape and potentially be seen by the casting people.

LimeLife: Okay, so basically you were tapped on the shoulder to audition for the biggest cinema craze of our time. What kind of relationship did you have with the Twilight series at that time?

Julia Jones: It's interesting because I hadn't read any of the books before I got the audition. I of course was aware of it, I have good friends who have been - I think "obsessed" is the right word - for quite some time. (Laughs.) Then when I got the call for the audition, I actually had a very serious visceral reaction. My heart started beating fast, it's a very unusual thing but I think on some level I think I sort of felt like I knew that this was going to be something important and probably life-changing.

LimeLife: Julia, you were cast with a pretty dynamic and somewhat complex character. Can you tell us about Leah Clearwater?

Watch Live TV on your pc

Julia Jones: Yeah, totally. First of all she's the only werewolf who's a female, which is in itself a very cool thing, but she has this complicated backstory where she is heartbroken because the head of the pack Sam Uley left her for her best friend and her cousin. So in addition to that she's dealing with all the changes that you have in your body when you become a wolf, and as a girl there's really nobody who knows what's happening to her - she's really alone and out there and heartbroken at the same time. And it makes her very angry and mean, and really she's just in a lot of pain and she doesn't know how to ask for help so she lashes out.

LimeLife: What did you bring to Leah's character? Did you relate to her?

Julia Jones: The heartbreak is a very universal emotion and most of us have felt that - I have. So that was clearly part of it. But also just being so caught up in what's going on in your world emotionally that you can't connect to the outside world, that's something that's a hard thing. Anytime you go through something dark and painful, it makes you want to just withdraw from the world, except you can't. I explored what that's like a lot when I was preparing.

One of the fun things that I got to bring to her was just being a tomboy and hanging out with the boys. I was always a huge tomboy growing up and I was always competing. I was the only girl in my football league, and they were so mean to me! (Laughs). And so a lot of that was easy to draw on.

Check back with LimeLife on Thursday for Part Two of our interview with Eclipse's Julia Jones where she will be talking about how Twilight has changed her life.

Meanwhile, read about New Moon's 15-city mall tour - you could meet the cast members in your hometown!

"Michael Jackson's This Is It "open worldwide Tuesday

2009-10-28T01:24:00.000+07:00

We know when Michael Jackson died in June, he was just days away from launching a 50-show run of comeback concerts in London.
Now, video footage of preparations for those performances have become "Michael Jackson's This Is It," a documentary opening worldwide Tuesday.

The simultaneous showings around the globe will be anchored by a star-studded premiere at the Nokia Theatre, a 7,100-seat concert venue across the street from Staples Center, where many of Jackson's rehearsals — and his high-profile public memorial — were held.

Longtime Jackson collaborator Kenny Ortega, who directed and produced "This Is It," is expected to attend, as are members of Jackson's band and the executors of his will. Entertainers including Snoop Dogg, Smokey Robinson and Zac Efron are also on the guest list.

Fans are likely to swarm the area, too: Many waited in line for days to buy tickets for advance screenings of "This Is It" at the new Regal Cinemas on site, which will show the film to sold-out audiences Tuesday on all 14 of its screens.

The film, culled from more than 100 hours of rehearsal footage, shows an enthusiastic King of Pop meticulously crafting his moves and performing some of his most beloved hits. No critics have seen it, but Sony — which paid $60 million for the film rights — showed a 12-minute clip to entertainment journalists last week.

Some of Jackson's family members and friends have seen "This Is It" in its entirety. Elizabeth Taylor, a longtime friend of the pop star, posted her thoughts Monday on Twitter.

"It is the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking I have ever seen," she wrote on the micro-blogging site. "It cements forever Michael's genius in every aspect of creativity."

The 77-year-old actress added that she "wept from pure joy at his God-given gift" and urged her fans to see the film "again and again."

"This Is It" opens in theaters Wednesday for a limited run, lending it some of the exclusivity of Jackson's aborted concert stand in London.

"We think the 16 days is right. It's sort of a special event that you want to frame in a special way," said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony.

Jackson died June 25 at age 50. The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled the death a homicide, caused primarily by the powerful anesthetic propofol and another sedative. Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, has not been charged with a crime but is the focus of the police investigation.

Model Ivanka Trump weeding with Jared Kushner

The 27-year-old model Ivanka Trump swapped vows with New York Observer owner Jared Kushner Sunday in New Jersey, Usmagazine.com has confirmed.

The daughter of real estate mogul Donald Trump wore a Vera Wang gown inspired by Grace Kelly and celebrated the day with more than 500 guests.

Guest Regis Philbin serenaded the newlyweds during the reception planned by celebrity event designer Preston Bailey.

"I always envisioned myself having a traditional and elegant wedding," Trump, 27, told Brides.com after her engagement in July.

Trump tweeted just hours before exchanging vows with Kushner, 28: "Just finished a gorgeous hike. The leaves are spectacular and the sun is shining. Everything is simply perfect! I'm getting married today!"

According to The Associate Press, wedding guests included Rudy Giuliani, Barbara Walters and Emmy Rossum.

Jennifer Aniston coming back to TV show with Oprah Winfrey

2009-10-27T00:50:00.002+07:00

Jennifer Aniston has agreed to do a weekly show for Oprah's new cable channel, OWN, when it finally launches sometime next year, according to a report over the weekend.Jennifer Aniston is all excited to host a weekly show.

Jennifer Aniston as a talk show host? We can totally see it, especially if it means working with Oprah. Allegedly, Jennifer became super interested in starting her own show after hanging out with Chelsea Handler of the late night show Chelsea Lately.

According to a source, "Jen became fascinated with the format after spending time with Chelsea. When she saw Oprah she mentioned that it would be fun to do a chat show and Oprah seized the moment and suggested they front one together for her new network."

The deal hasn't been confirmed yet, but sources are saying salary doesn't matter much to Jen since she makes $5-7 million a movie and really wants to do this show. The source says, "She is doing this for one reason only; she absolutely wants to do it."

We think a talk show with Jennifer Aniston and Oprah would be wildly popular. We wonder if Jen is trying to show how approachable and friendly she really is. If so, we think this is a great way for her to show it!

Miley Cyrus Never attacked by Swine Flu

2009-10-27T00:30:00.000+07:00

American pop singer and television and film actress Miley Ray Cyrus is best known for starring as the title character in the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana.We love a good celebrity rumor. And when we heard that Miley Cyrus had swine flu, we realized the possibility it could be a rumor. It turns out it was. Or at least that's what she's saying anyway.

And who, of all people, started the rumor that Miley Cyrus had swine flu? Well, Miley's co-star, Cody Linley, of course. And Miley's not too happy about it. Can you blame her?

Cody, who plays Miley's sometimes boyfriend on Hannah Montana, reportedly said, "I spoke with her the day that she canceled the tour. She said she felt really bad, she didn't understand what was happening, but she just got really sick and had to run off stage because things were just like on her heart, too heavy... Then the next day she told me she had the swine flu."

Things were on her heart too heavy? Clearly, Cody doesn't really know what he's talking about, but we're just not sure why he would say Miley told him she had swine flu if she never did.

Miley says she never told him that. And in true 16-year-old Miley Cyrus fashion, she says, "Freaking Cody Linley was on the carpet last night and I think that he just like said stuff, so no... I had like really really bad strep, and I was really really sick, but no....I'm gonna give him a talking to!"

We hope Miley Cyrus isn't embarrassed if she really does have swine flu. After all, nothing to be ashamed of; it almost seems like everyone is getting it these days. It might make everyone feel better about it if Miley Cyrus gets swine flu and then fights it off!

Dancing's Mya: interview with TVGuide.com

2009-10-27T00:14:00.001+07:00

American R&B singer,tap-dancer and model Mya Marie Harrison will compete on the ninth season of Dancing with the Stars.
Mya is "excited" Dancing with the Stars judge Len Goodman has finally lavished praise on her ballroom skills, but she's still feeling black and blue. "I have bruises all over my legs," she tells TVGuide.com.Find out what happened and more.

TVGuide.com: You finally got praise from Len. How did that feel?
Mya: [Laughs] Yes, it was such an accomplishment! I cannot complain about that. We've been working really, really hard to please him. It's been a little confusing because the first time, he said he wanted simplicity; the second time, he said he wanted simplicity; and the third time, he said he expected more. We were a little thrown off each time. The Argentine tango was more of a traditional dance, whereas the lambada was a little looser, so we thought we'd do really well with the intricacy of the choreography and the difficulty and the footwork. He liked it, but Carrie Ann and Bruno didn't think the performance aspect was there, so you can't please them all! ... I'm kind of thankful for [Len's criticism] because it didn't make me too comfortable!

Dancing's Melissa Joan Hart unsure if being paired with Mark is a "good thing or a bad thing"

TVGuide.com: How did his criticism affect rehearsals? Did you feel more pressure?
Mya: Yeah, well, we always feel the pressure to do better each week. But when the timeframe's shortened, I sort of wanted Dmitry to tone down the choreography, especially when Len said it was too much. It's hard to learn so much in so little time and be able to perform it and make it look easy. I ask him if we can change things that I just don't know how to do or that I cannot get after 25 times! ... Dmitry is a very accomplished guy and the stuff he throws at me is really, really difficult sometimes.

TVGuide.com: What happened in rehearsals last week? You kicked him where it hurts.
Mya: [Laughs] Not intentionally! I wouldn't do that! The choreography was so weird and you had to use a lot of footwork and your knees obviously elevate, and when you elevate while you're turning, you can definitely hurt someone! They only showed [one kick], but I kneed him in the [groin] a couple of times. I suggested he wear a cup!

TVGuide.com: How do you feel about the jitterbug this week?
Mya: That'll be fun. It's kind of, like, rock 'n' roll. I love the contrast from week to week. There's nothing similar. Dmitry is now sick, so we'll see what happens. It's the beginning stages of something, so I think we're all going to get flu shots. So Dmitry needs a cup and a flu shot! All the pro dancers haven't gotten any rest because they have numbers to do every night, the Michael Jackson tribute and our knockout dance and our main dance and our group dance. They're working their behinds off.

TVGuide.com: Do you re-watch your routines?
Mya: I actually didn't for the first four weeks and I just started last week after we performed the lambada. I started watching to see where I could do better. I watched Monday's performance. I'm just happy it's over. That's the hardest dance so far. It had weird timing, rhythm, and is very painful. It's so contained, confined and all internal muscles working. You use almost every muscle in your body and I've never experienced so much shoulder pain or ankle pain in my life.

TVGuide.com: Carrie Ann said you were disconnected from your character in the Argentine tango. Are you going to focus on getting into character more this week?
Mya: Carrie Ann said I didn't have an internal dialogue and looked very distant and I probably did! I was probably focusing too much on the steps because they're still not in my body. I don't want to mess up because if I do, it's noticeable and that's the last thing I want. I'd rather compromise a lack of character versus missing a step and messing up my whole routine.

TVGuide.com: You had the group hustle last week and this week there's the mambo marathon and the knockout dance for the bottom two. How crazy is it preparing multiple dances?
Mya: Our knockout dance is still not together! We haven't had the time to focus on it, but hopefully we won't have to perform it. We still have to be prepared because you never know. We chose the cha-cha. It's tough doing so many. The most challenging thing is having to shut things down with your managers and agents. They're doing their jobs and providing you with lots of opportunities, but you have to pick and choose. You have to say no. And they are lots of fun things, lots of parties, events, fashion shows. And then sometimes they get pissed off at you! [Laughs]

TVGuide.com: You should know you've topped our power rankings with a third of the vote twice already.
Mya: Wow! Really? Thank you! That makes me nervous! I just want to get better. I have to just zone out and compete with myself. I have to do better. I'm not there yet 100 percent, obviously look at the scores. It's just about doing my best and pleasing the audience at this point. Whatever the scores are, they're going to be what they're going to be. But I always want to put on a great show and put my all into it.

Lady Gaga will dress "monster" at upcoming concerts

2009-10-24T00:14:00.000+07:00

American recording artist Lady Gaga will dress as a ''monster'' for her upcoming 'Monster Ball' tour which starts next month.
The 'Paparazzi' singer is about to embark on her 'Monster Ball' tour next month and the flamboyant pop star - famed for her outrageous outfits - is going to take her fashion inspiration from the title.

Lady Gaga told Rolling Stone magazine: "The fashion is going to be another exploration and another level from where we were with the previous tour, the 'Fame Ball'. The theme of monsters is certainly going to be an influence, as well as the theme of evolution and change. It's going to be a truly artistic experience that is going to take the form of the greatest post-apocalyptic house party that you've ever been to."

Lady Gaga - real name Stefani Germanotta - was due to hit the road with Kanye West.

However, the tour - entitled 'Fame Kills', and which had been planned for months - was cancelled earlier this month, just weeks after Kanye was heavily criticised for invading the stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards.

But the 23-year-old singer hasn't ruled out the possibility of touring with him in the future.

Lady Gaga said: "It just wasn't the right timing. I don't want to embellish on it too much, because I want to respect Kanye's privacy. But we just had our own reasons. We're real friends, real friends can make decisions like that, and we wanted to keep the momentum going in terms of pop music staying innovative with hip-hop and R'n'B. But who's to say what will happen in the future?"

ABC developing Skating With the Stars

2009-10-23T02:39:00.000+07:00

ABC is currently developing a new Skating with the Celebrities-like reality series with Dancing with the Stars' BBC Worldwide production

Though there were definitely some skeptics in the start, Dancing With the Stars has been a huge success for ABC. So huge, that they're looking at doing variations on the show and, of course, Skating With the Stars is a natural twist.

We think Skating With the Stars would be even more entertaining than Dancing With the Stars. Let's face it, anyone can dance if given a few lessons. But put someone in a pair of ice skates and put them on a rink and disaster could ensue. Imagine the injuries that could be sustained on the show!

But then we remembered that a few years ago, Fox tried to do a show called Skating With Celebrities and failed pretty miserably. So, why would ABC basically try to replicate that show?
We think the show's success all depends on the celebrities they bill for the show. Fox had Kristy Swanson, Bruce Jenner, and Dave Coulier. Not really celebrities many people go too crazy for these days. Of course, we'd love to see stars like Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise, and Jennifer Aniston. But clearly, these current celebrities are too busy to participate and wouldn't risk breaking bones on the ice.

We have to admit we'd probably watching Skating With the Stars for a change from Dancing With the Stars. Now that ABC has made their mark with the show, we think it is possible they could pull of a skating show as well.

Actress Jennifer Aniston Drunk-Dialing Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie

2009-10-23T02:18:00.000+07:00

Actress Jennifer Aniston maybe not a smooth operator. Oops! Jennifer Aniston, step away from the iPhone. Word's out that Jennifer Aniston recently rang ex-hubs Brad Pitt and got a surprise on the other end: Angelina Jolie.

Knuckle-biter, right? According to the story, here's what happened: "When Jen heard Angie's voice, she freaked out. Jen basically told Angie that she hated her, but Angelina fired back and warned Jen to stop calling Brad and harassing her. Angie screamed, 'Leave my family alone!'"

Ouch. This could be one of Hollywood's tall-tales, but despite their reports that all's well and good between them, we think there must be some animosity between Jennifer Aniston -- dontcha think? Although "Leave my family alone"? Her family, after all, was once Jen's family. Never steal a man from a Mediterranean woman.

Australian star Nicole Kidman's movies could contribute to violence against women

2009-10-23T01:55:00.001+07:00

Australian movie star Nicole Kidman concedes that some movies probably have contributed to violence against women by showing them as weak sex objects.But, Kidman says those are demeaning roles she's not interested in taking.

And, she says the movie industry has made an effort to contribute to solutions for ending the violence.

Kidman testified before a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee that's considering legislation to deal with violence against women overseas. When asked by Congressman Dana Rohrabacher of Orange County, California, if the movie industry has "played a bad role," Kidman said "probably." But, she quickly added that she herself doesn't. She said she "can't be responsible for all of Hollywood" but she "can certainly be responsible" for her own career.

Nicole Kidman is a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. Development Fund for Women, known as UNIFEM, to promote the International Violence Against Women Act.

Now Paris Hilton wants live lobsters

2009-10-22T04:37:00.001+07:00

American model,fashion designer and actress Paris Hilton is known for her appearance in a sex tape in 2003.She keep scoring guest roles on shows. And your demands are absolutely ridiculous. Now Paris wants live lobsters.

We know how celebrities often have a list of things they require backstage when working on a television show or a movie? Well, Paris Hilton has one too. Even though she's simply spending one day filming a movie where she's playing herself. One day and she has a list of demands!

Paris is playing herself in an action comedy called The Other Guys; a role that will take one day to film. According to a source, "The producers were shocked when her team handed them a three-page list of demands - including live lobsters to be prepared fresh when she's ready to eat and a bottle of Grey Goose vodka - all for just one day on the set."

Wouldn't it be nice to have a live lobster cooked and prepared for you whenever you so desired it? But this is necessary for one day of filming? And really, how much Grey Goose vodka is Paris going to be consuming in one day on set? We're thinking she should probably be sober for her acting.

The Other Guys also stars Will Ferrell, Eva Mendes, The Rock (Dwayne Johnson), Mark Wahlberg, Michael Keaton, and Samuel L. Jackson. Some pretty huge stars, so we wonder what their demand lists look like compared to Paris Hilton's.

Of course, Paris's representative says, "This is totally ridiculous and untrue," but we believe it. It sounds just like something Paris Hilton would do!

Natalie Coughlin won't be going for the gold on "Dancing with the Stars."

2009-10-22T04:21:00.000+07:00

American swimmer Natalie Coughlin scored Olympic gold, but She won't be going for the gold on "Dancing with the Stars." The superstar swimmer is the latest celeb to be tossed from the pool of dancers.

Coughlin and professional partner Alex Mazo earned 22 out of 30 points for their paso doble on Monday night. The two were at the bottom with pop singer Aaron Carter and partner Karina Smirnoff -- and the judges were surprised.

"Justice should prevail," judge Len Goodman said, "and neither should be there."

When asked about her experience, Coughlin held back tears. "I don't know, I loved this so much. I guess I didn't show it, how much I loved it, but I really did. I'm sorry."

The elimination marks the earliest exit for an individual Olympic gold medalist since the show began in 2005.

Tuesday night's show also featured a performance by Norah Jones and dance tribute to Michael Jackson. The King of Pop's mother and a few siblings were spotted in the audience.

Nine couples remain and will dance the waltz and the jitterbug in addition to a mambo marathon on next week's show.

Wiseman, who had been in declining health, died Monday at his home in Manhattan, his daughter, Martha Graham Wiseman, told The New York Times and Los Angeles Times.A screen and stage actor, Wiseman's film credits include "Detective Story" (1951) and "The Unforgiven" (1960). He also had guest roles on television shows "Law & Order," "The Streets of San Francisco," "The Twilight Zone" and "The Untouchables," according to The New York Times.

He is likely best known, however, for his villainous role in "Dr. No," the first in a long string of James Bond movies. The 1962 film introduced Sean Connery as James Bond and also starred Ursula Andress.

Wiseman was born in Montreal on May 15, 1918. He moved to the United States with his family when he was a boy.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Wiseman started acting when he was a teenager, getting his start in summer stock.

In 1938, he was given a small part in his first Broadway play, Robert E. Sherwood's "Abe Lincoln in Illinois."

Wiseman's other Broadway credits include "Joan of Lorraine" (1946), "Antony and Cleopatra" (1947), "Detective Story" (1949); and most recently in the stage adaptation of Abby Mann's film "Judgment at Nuremberg" (2001).

"Stage acting was what he wanted to be remembered for," Wiseman's daughter told the Los Angeles newspaper.
