The Jonas Brothers Cover Rolling Stone



It’s no wonder that the The Jonas Brothers are the latest cover models for Rolling Stone, as photographed by Max Vadukul.

With a wildly popular tour and a new record expected to sell millions, Nick, 15, Joe, 18, and Kevin, 20, make up “The Clean Teen Machine”. Here’s an excerpt from the mag’s feature article on what differentiates each of the JoBros:

“Kevin, the oldest, is the extrovert, chatting up bus drivers and security guards, crouching on his knees to greet little kids at shows… Middle child Joe, who resembles a prettier version of the actor Peter Gallagher, is the quieter Jonas, with a wild alter ego revealed onstage, where he swivels his hips and twirls a mike stand like a lightsaber. ‘I’m really inspired by Mick Jagger and Freddie Mercury — the big frontmen,’ he says. ‘I heard Jagger does an hour on a treadmill before every show.’ … Nick, by contrast, is the Jonas Brothers‘ boss — the spokesman, the best musician, the chief songwriter. It might seem odd for Joe and Kevin to take their lead from their kid brother, but the Jonases don’t see it that way. “Nicholas has always been older than he was,” their father tells me. Despite his heartthrob status, Nick has more Eddie Vedder in him than he does Shaun Cassidy.”

Megan Fox is a Tough Transformer



Megan Fox takes a break from filming on the set of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which is being filmed in Venice Beach.

The 22-year-old actress recently talked about her work on Jennifer’s Body, which will be released early next year.

“I have a few love scenes. I eat and seduce everyone — boys and girls. There’s a lot of kissing and craziness. It was awkward, it’s always awkward and it’s never fun,” Megan told Pop Tarts.

“Johnny Simmons and I got really close and became really good friends, so it was hard not to just laugh hysterically and endlessly,” Fox said. “So I’m kissing him and he’s like my brother — it was really awful. He got spit in my mouth and it was gross.”

But as far as her work on the new Transformers movie goes, Megan knows not to spill any details. “They’ll kill me if I say anything,” Fox said. “I’ll get fired and they’ll replace me with Eva Longoria.”

Rihanna & Chris Brown’s Rollercoaster Of Lurve

BFFs (and suspected lovers) Rihanna and Chris Brown were spied enjoying a lovely day together at the Kings Dominion amusement park in Richmond, VA yesterday … here are a few pics:



Awww … don’t they look so cute … all cuddled together as they ride the Anaconda rollercoaster together? Despite the fact that ChRihanna refuse to admit that they are bumpin’ uglies, I think they make one of the cutest celeb couples around. They tend to do a lot of fun things together … I suspect they’ll be an item for a long time.

There's No Stopping The Dark Knight



The new Batman movie keeps on chugging along at record paces!

The Dark Knight took in an astounding $24 million at the box office in the U.S. on Monday.

On a Monday!!!!

The film has already made a whopping $182.9 million in less than a week of release.

Spider-Man 3 had $10.2 million on the Monday after it opened and that movie went on to make $336 domestically.

The Dark Knight looks poised to easily make $400 million.

And, with 64% of Dark Knight fans saying they plan to see it AGAIN, the movie could take in upwards of $500 million in America.

Beyond massive!

Is This A Pattern Of Behavior???



We were giving him the benefit of the doubt, but things are not looking good for Christian Bale.

A new report has us reevaluating what we thought we knew of the Batman star.

The actor was on set last Friday shooting Terminator 4 at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico when all of a sudden he exploded!

During one scene, the director of cinematography, messed up a shot - or so Bale thought.

Christian reportedly went ballistic, screaming "I will kick your ass", amongst other harsh things.

Several hundred people - cast, crew and extras - heard the outburst.

Not cool, Christian.

Not cool at all!

On The Loose



Heather Locklear has (successfully, we hope) completed her stint in rehab.

The actress spent four weeks receiving treatment at Sierra Tucson in Arizona and is currently home in Los Angeles.

While Locklear's rep released a statement saying she was getting help for anxiety and depression, there were reports that Heather was in there for pill popping and booze.

Batman: Mommy Insulted His Woman and Depressed About Heath



Don't mess with the wifey!

Britain's Daily Mail reports that Christian Bale was ENRAGED when mommy insulted his wife, Sandra 'Sibi' Blazic.

Interesting aside, Sibi was once Winona Ryder's personal assistant.

A source close to Batman says Bale's confident he’s done nothing wrong and blames his mother:

"Christian was stressed, but he didn’t lay a finger on anyone. Instead, he flew off the handle and cussed his mother. He just got very loud because his mother was saying some very outrageous things about him, and his wife."

"Christian's attitude is that this was his mother's fault because she became very provocative in an argument they were having,’" the source said, adding: "Things got out of control and he now says he wishes he just left the room."

"Normally Christian would just call a friend and go out to a pub to cool off. But he was literally trapped into this confrontation with his mother and sister because there was an army of fans and paparazzi outside."

"They're going to need a "cooling off" period because his mother said some pretty outrageous things to him that really set him off."

"He regrets the way she treated him in their argument a lot more than having to talk to police about it. Christian has admitted that something just snapped, but he didn't threaten anyone with violence."

Bale is reportedly having marital problems as well.

The report goes on to say:

"He can have a terrible temper. Instead of lashing out at his wife, he sometimes lashes out at people around him."

"He's under a lot of pressure right now and simply got incredibly loud with members of his family around. I think his wife is going to be very important to him after all this is over because she does, at the end of the day, know how to calm him down."

He is also said to have become depressed over the death of close friend and co-star Heath Ledger. The two actors formed a friendship when they both played Bob Dylan in the flick I’m Not There.

The source said, "Without Ledger around, he's found it more and more difficult to communicate with those around him, especially his family."

Another Bale insider confirms that Ledger's death was a massive blow for the Welshman:

"They had become very close during the making of The Dark Knight and Christian went into virtual hiding for the six weeks after Heath was found dead."

"He wasn't returning phone calls and he wasn't a happy man. It's foolish to think that he's been able to completely shake off that grief just as Heath and his work is finally being seen by audiences."

"He expected to share this moment with his friend, and now he can't."

It was also reported that Bale found it hard to shake off the mental strains of Batman, and told an interviewer he was having trouble sleeping.

Didn't Heath have trouble sleeping because of his The Dark Knight role too?

Sounds like Bale may need to get some therapy for his own good!

Looks like he's dealing with too much and doesn't know how to express himself without anger!

Mission Aborted



As we mentioned earlier this week, rumors have been circulation that Top Gun will soon have a sequel made.

However, our prayers have been answered.

Tom Cruise will NOT be reprising his role as Maverick.

We'll probably be seeing him do some sort of cameo, though.

A spokesperson for Paramount has says there is "no way" Cruise would be getting the lead role again.

Thank goodness.

Now it looks like we'll only be stuck with him when Valkyrie gets released. If it ever does.

Best Bang



He must come cheap!

According Forbes magazine, funny man Vince Vaughn has topped a list of Hollywood stars giving studios the best returns on their investments.

Good news for Jennifer Aniston's ex!

Forbes says it compiled the list by looking at a star’s last three films that opened wide before January 1, 2008 and were made in the past five years — and were not animated.

The mag then took half of each film’s box office income and added the first three months of wholesale DVD revenues, subtracted the budget, and used the star’s gross income to work out payback.

That hurts our brain!

Vaughn's films earned $14.73 for every dollar he was paid.

Pretty impressive!

Until recently he wasn’t paid the mega-bucks of other actors and the films he starred in, like Wedding Crashers, had modest budgets but awesome box office returns.

Here's Forbes' list of the top payback stars:

1. Vince Vaughn - $14.73
2. Tobey Maguire - $13.44
3. Julia Roberts $13.19
4. Brad Pitt $12.73
5. Naomi Watts $12.16
6. Matt Damon $12.16
7. George Clooney $11.56
8. Jennifer Aniston $10.48
9. Hugh Jackman $9.90
10. Ben Stiller $9.50

A-listers Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and George Clooney reportedly looked good in the list because of their work in Ocean’s Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen, as they all took pay cuts to appear in the popular movies.

The Photos They Don't Want You To See



Looks like Brad Pitt is upset over new photos of his family that have leaked.

A photo of Poppa Pitt with Angelina Jolie and most of the kids, except for the newborn twins, was taken when the family was playing in the backyard of their rented French chateau.

Now, Brad's legal team has gone on a crazy media attack.

They are sending out cease and desist letters to everyone with the images up and threatening to sue if not removed.

Will they sue In Touch Weekly??? The magazine is running the photos in this week's issue.

According to Pitt's lawyer, Yawl Holtkamp, the photos were "surreptitiously" taken by paparazzi with "highly powerful telephoto lenses."

Holtkamp stated that if the photos were published, it would violate the actor's privacy rights.

The photos show "Pitt and his family as they engaged in familial activities on private property."

The paparazzi agency that originally took the photos and sold them has already agreed to cease and desist from any further sales and has removed the images from their site.

The power of Brangelina!

Lynne Spears' Secret Shame



Looks like the Spears family has some big skeletons in their closets.

Like murder!

We're not joking.

It turns out Jamie Lynne' mom killed a young boy years ago.

Accidentally, of course.

The incident happened in Kentwood, LA, back in 1975 when Lynne Spears was 20 years old.

Lynne was driving her brother to the hospital after he'd suffered an injury when she ran over the 12 year old boy on his bicycle.

The National Enquirer has even gotten confirmation that the story is true from Lynn's rep!

A family friend says, “To this day, Lynne hasn’t gotten over what she did. She gets that terrified look in her eye when she is thinking about it. She has told only a few people about the accident and always says, ‘Please don’t think I’m a bad person.’”

The young boy, Anthony Winters, lived along the route Lynne was taking.

Lynne's rep says, "Anthony Winters and his friend were in the road on a curve on a bicycle. As Lynne rounded the curve she could not avoid the boy in the street as there was oncoming traffic in the opposite lane."

Anthony later died at the hospital as a result of his injuries.

Her rep adds, “Lynne realized the boy was struck immediately and to this day is grieved by the Winters’ loss of their son.“

Sad. Sad. Sad.

Poor family.

Brad Makes A Boo Boo



Brad Pitt's halo has lost a little of its shine.

Poppa Pitt was spotted driving a golf cart with the adorable Shiloh ON HIS LAP.

Daddy and his little girl were not wearing seat belts or helmets.

Not safe!

Brad should know better!

Daddy, Shiloh Pax and Maddox were enjoying a family day out at a quad bike track in Miraval when the golf cart pix of Brad and Shiloh were snapped.

Angie must be pissed!

Shakedown!



Every day hour we're learning a bit more about the "incident" between Christian Bale and his mother and sister.

As we mentioned yesterday, there might be some bitterness between Bale and his mother, a former clown.

When Bale's parent's divorced years ago, his mom forced him to choose which parent he wanted to live with.

Christian moved to L.A. and chose his dad, who later became his manager.

And as for the police charges, Bale's camp believes it is most likely motivated by money.

Apparently his mother was "extremely jealous of both his and his dad's success."

As for the "assault" that took place last Sunday at his hotel room, it's been reported there was some physical contact, but nothing violent. It's being described as either a push or a brush, though no one was hurt or even fell.

However, his people still believe the main reason behind filing the charges is purely financial reasons.

As of today, some magazines have already been offering large amounts of money for the mom and sister's story.

We say, forget the mom! If she wants to offer the story for free, then let her. But if not, don't pay her a nickel.

If she really wants to tell her story and isn't motivated by money, she'll do it for free.

They Wear Their Love



How cute barfalicious is this?

Lindsay Lohan and her uglier half, saMAN Ronson, are beyond wearing promise rings.

The two are now said to be wearing matching infinity lock bracelets by Jules Smith.

An insider tells Life & Style, "The bracelets represent their relationship — they have each other on lockdown, and there's no one else who can open up the key to their hearts."

Gag.

The pair also have matching anchor necklaces, "which symbolize that they are each other's anchor."

So, how much money do you think Lindsay is waiting to get offered before she officially comes out?

A-List In Her Own Mind



What a diva!

As we mentioned last week, Lauren Conrad was hired as the official dog walker and host for Animal Fair magazine's 9th annual 'Paws for Style' benefit.

Instead, L.C. showed up for some quick pictures on the red carpet and quickly left out the back before doing her walk down the runway with a rescued dog.

She bailed on an event that was paying her!

Now, we find out that L.C. was also flown to East Hampton by helicopter and was paid to host a party at Lily Pond for Svedka's "Join the Party" campaign.

However, in typical L.C. style, she showed up two hours late, according to reports.

For a gig she was getting paid to do!

A source says, "She seems to have lost a grip on reality and thinks she is A-list material. And after taking pictures, she bolted straight to the VIP area and refused to speak to anyone outside her entourage."

So very true.

L.C. better enjoy her 15 minutes of fame. Most "reality" tv stars don't last very long in the spotlight. - especially when acting like spoiled divas.

PETA vs. Batman



PETA is upset with the new Batman movie.

As many of you saw, since the film has done so much business, The Dark Knight had some "unfriendly" dog scenes in the pic.

Particularly the scene where Batman "was punching out dogs left and right." In self-defense of course.

But some PETA is asking why with so many gadgets that Batman has on hand, the only way to defend himself was to hurt the dogs?

What do U think?

Is it just an innocent part of the movie, or is PETA overreacting?

Check out their list of the Top 10 Animal-Friendly Superheroes.

[Image via WENN.]

10. Hellboy—This superhero may be someone that would make you cross the street if he came your way (the red skin and horns might be a bit intimidating), but he's just a big teddy bear with a love for kittens (and many successful attempts to save them).

9. Aquaman—The King of Atlantis, Aquaman can commune with sea creatures, whom he considers citizens of his ocean realm, and routinely protects them from being abused or exploited by the surface-dwellers.

8. Black Panther—As the leader of the African nation of Wakanda, the Black Panther has banned the evil White Gorilla Cult from his country. Members of the cult seek to gain power by killing one of Wakanda's rare white gorillas, bathing in their blood, and eating their flesh (um, gross). The villain known as Man-Ape gained his superpowers by doing exactly that—incurring the wrath of the Black Panther and becoming one of his greatest foes.

7. Superman—In a one-shot "PSA comic" entitled "Superman: For the Animals," Supes rescues a kitten from being thrown off a bridge by a group of kids named (seriously) Ballser, Charlie, Donuts, and Eightball and, in the process, teaches everyone a valuable lesson about not picking on anyone weaker than you—including animals.

6. Captain Planet—He just wants to save the planet from the evil Captain Pollution! And that, of course, includes all our wildlife friends who live there. Point of fact, though: "Heart"? NOT an element.

5. Thor—In the Ultimate Avengers animated movie, we find Thor out at sea with a group of activists protesting whale slaughter. If only his fellow Norwegians in the real world got the picture that whaling is a thing of the past!

4. Beast Boy—Everyone's favorite Teen Titan also happens to be vegan (and not just because he's been hanging out on peta2.com like pretty much every other teenager). You would be, too, if you had the ######morphic ability to turn into any animal and therefore had a little compassion for the ones that get eaten.

3. Animal Man—This lesser-known DC hero can mimic the abilities of animals and is an ardent advocate for animal rights. He's a vegetarian, and in Animal Man #15, Animal Man saves a group of dolphins from cruel fishers and drops the villains in the ocean to drown—only to be saved by one of the very dolphins he was trying to kill.

2. Wolverine and Jean Gray—In X-Men Unlimited #44, Wolverine catches three neighborhood boys in the act of torturing and killing animals for kicks—and offers to return the favor on behalf of his furry friends. Using her psychic powers, Jean Gray instead makes the boys experience in their minds the pain and suffering that they caused to their innocent victims. In the next issue … Colonel Sanders!

1. Wonder Man—In Civil War: Frontline #5, part of Marvel's epic Civil War story arc, Wonder Man is interrupted on his way to an important function by two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents looking for answers about a mysterious aquarium store bombing (read the book). The important function? A PETA banquet. 'Nuff said.

ANOTHER Record Set!



It keeps getting better and better for Warner Bros, though the same can't be said for Christian Bale.

The Dark Knight took in $24.M on Monday.

And, now we have yesterday's earnings!

The film made an addition $20.8M on Tuesday. Most movie's debut to that number (or less) on a Friday!

The Dark Knight's domestic earnings currently stand at $203.7 million, in less than one week of release.

It's the first flick to cross the $200 million mark in 5 days.

Crazy!

Worst Excuse EVER



A British paper is claiming that Peaches Geldof's collapse / drug overdose on Sunday was caused by her inadvertently inhaling fumes from hair dye.

Apparently, she forgot to open a window while dyeing her hair.

Ha! How much hair dye did she sniff?!

Do y'all believe that??

Keep in mind that paramedics were called to the scene to revive Peaches after she lost consciousness AND she asked for the incident to be kept secret.

Don't you hate it when people think you might be stupid enough to believe something so obviously full of shit?

Coming To The Big Screen



And the comic book heroes just keep coming to the cinema!

The next hero to be transformed from the comics to film will be Hercules. And, no, the TV version, Kevin Sorbo, won't be reprising his role from the '90s show.

The flick will be directed by Peter Berg, who also directed Hancock and will be based on the five-issue comicbook series by Steve Moore.

The movie, which will be called Hercules: The Thracian Wars, is said to stay true to the comicbook.

Producer Larry Levine says, "What resonated for them was that this was character driven, about a character who’s more man than god, with conflicts and redemption."

We not sure we'd classify Hercules in the same category as Superman, Batman, and Spiderman. He just seems more mythical to us.

Will U go watch the new Hercules flick?

No Love for Emos in Russia



Being an emo kid could be illegal in Russia soon!

The government is trying to pass a laws that would heavily regulate emo websites and ban emo and goth dress style in schools and government buildings.

The new laws are apparently being driven by fears that "emo" encourages depression and suicide.

There were mass protests by Russian emo kids this past weekend.

Dmitry Gilevich of Russian emo band MAIO said at a protest, "Expressing psychological emotions is not forbidden by law."

Poor emo kids!

England and Mexico hate on you and now Russia does too.

Courtney Love Slapped With $1 Million Lawsuit



Rabblerousing rocker Courtney Love is being sued for $1 million by a business management and accounting firm that claims she never paid them its share of profits from the sale of Nirvana's publishing catalog.

Love's late husband Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994, was Nirvana's lead singer.

A five-page lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Tuesday by the L.A.-based London & Co. claims Love sold a portion of Cobain's share of Nirvana's publishing catalog for $19.5 million, the Associated Press reports.

London & Co. alleges Love, 44, broke a verbal contract to share five percent of any of her earnings or those from her company, The End of Music, and that its share from the sale would have been $975,000.

Reps for Love did not respond to AP's requests for comment.

Christian Bale, Wife "Solid" at Knight's Spain Premiere




Christian Bale's family ties are a little loose right now, but his marital relations appear to be holding fast.

Sources close to the Dark Knight star tell E! News that, contrary to new headlines suggesting that his eight-year marriage to Sandra Blazic is on the rocks, "his and Sibi's marriage is solid."

Marital troubles are just one of the reasons being bandied about to explain the seemingly random alleged showdown between Bale and his mother, Jenny, and sister Sharon at a London hotel that resulted in the actor's arrest Tuesday when he turned himself in for questioning.

Britain's Daily Mail has reported that Bale flew off the handle after his mom, among other things, made a disparaging remark about his wife.

But Sibi was by her man's side Wednesday on the red carpet in Barcelona at the Spain premiere of The Dark Night, where Bale deftly avoided questions about his family troubles but took about 30 minutes to sign autographs for superhero-hungry fans waiting outside the Coliseum Theater.

Warner Bros. announced today that, after five days of wide release, The Dark Knight has already surpassed $200 million at the box office, an all-time record.

Next on the itinerary for Bale, the missus and their 3-year-old daughter, Emmeline, is the blockbuster's Tokyo bow on Monday, and then the actor is off to New Mexico to continue shooting Terminator: Salvation.

It's been reported that Bale had a hissy fit on the set last Friday after cinematographer Shane Hurlbut flubbed a shot, but the studio said this week that neither on-set nor off-set drama has affected the film's production schedule.

As for the "family situation," Bale's attorney has already denied any wrongdoing on his client's part, noting that the 34-year-old Brit voluntarily went to the police station and that U.K. law requires that a suspect be placed under arrest before they're interviewed by authorities.

He is due to return to the station for a follow-up inquiry in September, but he has not been charged with any offense.

Pamela Anderson & Tommy Lee: Together...But Not




Pamela Anderson is taking aim at the motley collection of rumors surrounding her relationship with ex-husband Tommy Lee.

Speaking with Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Wednesday morning, the star of E!'s Pam: Girl on the Loose insists that, while the two do reside under the same roof, they are not romantically involved.

"We live together," says Pamela, but adds, "[I'm] not with him, with him." (Listen to the whole interview.)

Having said that, however, doesn't mean things can't change...

"You never know what could happen," she points out. "I mean, we can't get rid of each other, we love each other, you know? And it's kind of a funny, dysfunctional family like everybody else, but you know, hopefully one day we get it together. If not, we're really good friends."

New Pink Primed for Release




Pink has garnered her fair share of headlines over the past year, none of which have been for her music. Until now.

The Grammy-winning songbird announced plans to release a fifth, as-yet-untitled studio album Oct. 28. The debut single, "So What," is due out in early August.

The album represents the singer's first release since splitting from hubby Cary Hart earlier this year and is a return to her hit-making past.

The artist born Alecia Moore has reteamed with Swedish pop machine Max Martin, whom she worked with on her previous release, 2006's I'm Not Dead, and partnered anew with video director Dave Meyers for "So What." Meyers was behind her attention-grabbing and It girl-lampooning "Stupid Girls."

The video will debut next month on MTV's Pete Wentz-hosted FNMTV. As a tuneup, Pink will also serve as a guest commentater on the show July 25 and Aug. 1.

Country Singer Mindy McCready Enters Rehab



Country singer Mindy McCready has entered rehab following an emergency visit to a Nashville, Tennessee hospital, her rep confirmed to Us Wednesday.

"Mindy McCready did receive emergency care at Vanderbilt University Medical Center," her rep said. "Other issues made it prudent for her to seek longer term and broader based treatment."

"To her credit, she has entered into an extended care facility where she will receive the care needed and for the moment we ask that everyone respect her privacy," the rep added.

The New York Daily News reported Wednesday that she suffered a nervous breakdown.

Citing sources close to McCready, the paper claimed her longtime on-again/off-again romance with former New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens took a toll on the singer. The pair became involved in 1991 when McCready was 15-years-old.

"She's at the end of her rope," a source told the Daily News.

TMZ reported Wednesday that McCready had entered an Arizona rehab facility after mixing vodka and Ambien in an alleged suicide attempt.

McCready has a 2004 drug conviction and lost custody of her 2-year-old son Zander with country singer Billy McKnight.

McCready was scheduled to release an album later this year. In a recent YouTube video, she told fans, "I miss you so much and can't wait to see you."

Source: Nelly & Ashanti "Definitely Very Much Still Together"



Despite split reports, rapper Nelly and singer Ashanti "are definitely very much still together," a source close to the pair tells Us.

The New York Daily News reported the couple, who have been linked since 2003, recently went through a nasty split.

"I'm dating my new album, and no one else," the Daily News quoted the singer, 27, as saying.

But the source told Us that Ashanti was misquoted.

Ashanti says she worked with Nelly, 33, on her new album, The Declaration.

"He's a lot of fun, a lot of fun," she told Us after being appointed Music & Nightlife ambassador for Nassau County on Tuesday.

Forbes: Jennifer Aniston Earned More Than Angelina Jolie in 2007



Finally, Jennifer Aniston has come out on top.

According to Forbes, the 39-year-old actress earned more than Angelina Jolie in 2007.

Aniston raked in $27 million in 2007; Jolie, 33 - who just welcomed twins with Aniston's ex Brad Pitt – took in $14 million.

See photos comparing the lives of Aniston and Jolie.

In terms of female earners, Cameron Diaz claimed the top spot with $50 million, Forbes reports.

Keira Knightley pulled in $32 million, beating out Aniston. Academy Award winners Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow each banked $25 million.

The men still made more than the women overall.

Will Smith earned a staggering $80 million; Johnny Depp netted $72 million, while Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers both took in $55 million. Leonardo DiCaprio banked $45 million.

Pro-Family Group Slams New Gossip Girl Ads



OMG.

Four new promo ads for the second season of Gossip Girl have caused quite stir.

The Parents Television Council has slammed the shots, which show a topless Leighton Meester making out and Chace Crawford in bed with an older woman.

"I think it reeks of desperation, if they have to position themselves as so edgy and so controversial that they've been called out by us," Melissa Henson, PTC director of communications, told the Associated Press.

CW marketing boss Rick Haskins defends the campaign, saying it caters to their 18-34 female demographic.

"What we're trying to do is communicate with the audience in a way that they like and can appreciate," he said. "This sort of campaign resonates with someone who likes Gossip Girl."

It isn't the first time promos for the show have gotten people talking.

A campaign last spring featured cast members under the headline "OMFG." (CW's Haskins said at the time that the initials could stand several things including "Oh My Freaking Goodness.")

Around that time, the PTC rep said the show was "undermining" positive values that parents are trying to instill in their children.

The second season of Gossip Girl starts September 1.

Ugh, I got a press release today that bummed me out. The headline read: E! Announces Third Season Pick Up of "Keeping Up with The Kardashians" and I can't believe it.

Yes, I will get to hear Joel McHale making more "dead behind the eyes" jokes, but is that worth it? I can't really stand anyone in this family - they're all incapable of giving a natural-sounding line reading to save their big asses - but I think I dislike momager Kris the most. It's because she's one of those people who insists on giving everyone the same first initial: Kim, Khloe, Kylie, Kendall, Kourtney and Robert. What happened there?

I guess I didn't grasp just how many people like this show until my father, who doesn't really watch TV, called me one day and pretended to be Kim Kardashian. Swear to god. He told me it's the only show he makes a point to watch. This is the man who wouldn't let me watch "Jerry Springer" growing up because he wanted to instill a sense of quality into my life. And this is what he watches?

So tell me those of you who, like my dad, love "Keeping Up with The Kardashians," why? I'm genuinely curious.

Denise Richards' Shorts: It's Complicated



I had trouble deciding what color to describe Denise Richards' satin shorts as. I didn't feel like hot pink was the appropriate moniker because they're not really electric - or hot, if I'm being honest.

So I turned to the interweb, and a fantastically detailed color chart in hopes of finding the best name for this shady shade. My finalists are Fashion Fuschia and Hollywood Cerise.

Personally I like the sound of the second one more - plus, Denise strikes me as the kind of lady who would wear a color just because it has the word Hollywood in it. Well, that's what I've gleamed from her watching "Denise Richards: It's Complicated," or as Joel McHale brilliant dubbed it, "Denise Richards Colon."

Also, the design of said shorts is a bit kitchen sink-y. An oversize bow and a pocket flap and satin sheen - just enough accouchements to distract me from even beginning to address that adorable dog. And if you know me, that's saying a lot!

Aretha's a National Treasure! Having Said That...



Russell Simmons better watch his step, otherwise dude might be trip and fall into the cavernous cleavage Ms. Franklin is toting around these days.

I mean, those puppies are massive. In fact, they're not even puppies, they're extremely old St. Bernards that can't really save mountain climbers anymore, so they just lie around the house and lick themselves.

And you know there've been so many times Aretha's walked around her house in a blind panic because she just can't find the remote. "Oh, hey, how'd it get there?"

Riggins + Lyla 4 Eva!



I love pretty much everything about "Friday Night Lights," even the football sequences, so needless to say I am glad fans are going to get a third season, no matter the shape it comes in. But latest news has made waiting for season three even more difficult because my favorite characters on the show are going to have a full-fledged relationship when season three starts in early 2009!

Yes, the official coupling of Tim Riggins and Lyla Garity was just one morsel of Texas love that EW's Michael Ausiello got from "FNL" exec producer Jason Katims. He also revealed that when season three starts, it will be eight months later and, wait for it, Tami Taylor is now the school's principal! Love that Connie Britton.

But back to Tim and Lyla, a couple so hot even the sun is like, "Is there a fan up in here?" Katims believes it'll be a very fun storyline for everyone involved (particularly Minka Kelly who gets to make out with this). "It's one thing to have this passionate, secret relationship, but once they're in a real relationship, they see how different they are," Katims said.

He also added, "They're both seniors now, so it's really a question of, where are they going now? Lyla really tries to get Tim to be the best version of himself. (She wants him to) get into college, get a scholarship. ... But the question is whether these two are destined to have very different lives."

While all the relationships on the show are achingly accurate, Tim's unwavering love of Lyla while she tries to fight her feelings for him has been my personal favorite since day one. And they're going to have to make it work - fast - because almost everyone is a senior when the show returns and will thus be leaving Dillon regardless of a fourth season.

They Said It, I Loathed It



"We’re eventually going to have our videogame that UBI-Soft is going to design for us sold at Kitson ... it’s top secret ... get ready. All your wildest dreams are going to be in it.”

-Spencer Pratt to "Extra." So basically we'll be able to kill them - a lot.

Bloody Good Fun



HBO is treading on my favorite genre, vampire lore, for their new series "True Blood." Set in Louisiana, the show takes place in a world where vampires are no longer in hiding thanks to a synthetic blood source "TruBlood" that's available everywhere. You can even get a soy, no whip, TruBlood Frappuccino.

Petite Oscar winner Anna Paquin plays the fabulously named Sookie Stackhouse - steal it for your drag show - a telepathic barmaid. You know, I think I met a waitress who could read minds once. She kept bringing me more water - and I was thirsty.

Anyway, as is required to happen in the vampire genre - "Buffy," "Twilight," "Lost Boys" - Sookie falls in love with the big vampire on campus, Bill, and I would imagine spends the rest of the series entangled in a will-he-or-won't-he-sire-her tango.

"True Blood" premieres on HBO September 7 and I will definitely be tuning in since aside from always wearing a "I Heart Vampires" t-shirt, the series is adapted for TV by Alan Ball, the big brain behind "Six Feet Under," one of the greatest series of all time!

Coming Back From "Break"



Finally we're getting our first look at season four of "Prison Break" a show that keeps saying, "See, told you we could last longer than one season!"

For year four, Lincoln and Michael will take the fight right to The Company with the help of some new, and some old, friends. All I can say is thank goodness T-Bag is still alive and kicking. I was worried he'd be left behind as the show refocused on the brother's revenge plans.

Bad View From "Lakeview Terrace"



I am excited for "Lakeview Terrace," or at least I was before I peeped this underwhelming poster that Cinematical debuted today. Lemme get this straight, you've got the gorgeous duo of Kerry Washington and Patrick Wilson sparring with the craziest mo'fo in town, Sam Jackson, and this is the best you could do?

"Lakeview" is a "Thou Shalt Fear Thy Neighbor" thriller - something you don't get a sense of from this artwork. It looks like Sam might be heroic and save the day - especially with the tagline, "What could be safer than living next to a cop?"

So, since I am all for helping out my buddies, I've taken three screengrabs from the trailer that I think would've made for better posters.


With the cloud of smoke in the background, there is a sense of foreboding doom. Plus, they're on a terrace. Synergy!


This view gives you the feeling of intrusion and disruption that the trailer very successfully implied

Such A Tease



Your first taste of Jennifer's Body.

Yes, those are Megan Fox's lips.

Juicy!

The movie, written by Juno scribe Diablo Cody, will be released next year.

Great poster!

In the film, Foxy Megan plays a cheerleader possessed by a demon that starts feeding off the boys in a small Minnesota farming town.

Her "plain Jane" best friend must stop her and go after the Satan-worshipping rock band responsible for the horrible transformation.

Sounds like it could be terribly fun…or just plain terrible!

Look Familiar?

We're having an awful case of deja vu!

‘X-Files’ fails to revive sci-fi franchise



The strategy behind “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” isn’t bad – to create a feature-length, stand-alone episode rather than a big-screen spectacle tied to the television series’ labyrinthine mythology.

Unfortunately, the producers have managed an average episode, at best.

Ten years after the first feature film and six years after the end of the series, “I Want to Believe” finds former FBI agents Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) on different paths. She is a surgeon at Our Lady of Sorrows, while he is holed up in a cabin clipping newspaper articles about paranormal activity (when he should be clipping his beard).

The FBI comes calling, looking for help with a priest (Billy Connolly) who claims to be receiving clues to an abduction case via visions. And so Scully packs up her skepticism, Mulder opens his mind and the series’ formula is renewed.

Directed by the show’s creator, Chris Carter, “I Want to Believe” has some of the necessary elements of a good “X-Files” episode, including an unsettling mystery (a break in the case involves a buried collection of human limbs) and disturbing locales (a handful of scenes take place at an apartment complex for convicted and paroled sex offenders).

What’s missing – or, rather, mishandled – is the Scully-Mulder relationship, which was the essence of the series. At times we get flashes as to why they are the perfect couple – pillow talk at one point involves a toxicity report on a severed arm – yet most of the time they engage in vague arguments about whether or not they should be investigating the “darkness” again.

Add jarring references to events of the past – Mulder’s missing sister; Scully’s baby – and you have a movie that starts small and ends up taking on too much. “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” had the right strategy; too bad Carter and company couldn’t commit to it.

Heidi Klum's Legs Insured for $2 Million



But one is worth more than the other!

It's true! Supermodel Heidi Klum is famous for her long legs, and now she's confirmed to ET that one is actually worth more than the other, according to a London appraiser who recently insured them both for a hefty $2.2 million.

The Victoria's Secret strutter's right gam is insured for $1.2 million, but her left is worth only $1 million. Why the discrepancy? A little scar on her left limb.

Heidi isn't the only celeb to have her stems insured. ET's own Mary Hart, former Hollywood pin-up Betty Grable, Riverdancer Michael Flatley, screen legend Gene Kelly, redheaded model Angie Everhart and even Jamie Lee Curtis have all taken out policies on their legs.

Madonna's Ex Opens Up About Raising Lourdes



While his ex-girlfriend Madonna has been facing accusations of an "affair of the heart" with Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, Carlos Leon tells PEOPLE that things are drama-free with their daughter, Lourdes.

"She's at that point where she can call me and say, 'Hey Dad, what's up? What time are you going to get me?' " he says of his 11-year-old. "It's really cool. We talk every day." (For the record, he says of Madonna's alleged affair: "Trust me, that's a lie. I know for a fact, she wouldn't do that.")

Their daily chats, however, do not include doses of daddy discipline. "It's hard for me to be the tough guy with my daughter," says Leon, an actor and personal trainer who recently designed the fitness center in the Crescent Club condo in Long Island City through his company, Leon Fitness. "Maybe I should work on the discipline stuff, but I could leave her mother to do that!"

Still, he says, despite her well-known parents, Lourdes ("Lola," as he calls her) remains a grounded kid. "Look at me and the way I live: I ride my bicycle, I walk, I don't have a driver," says Leon. "That's how I keep her grounded. Her mom does a good job too – she's not that person that everyone thinks. She's very laidback and cool."

And Lourdes shares Dad's taste in music, too, Leon says – taking out his iPhone to show off some music she's downloaded. "Alicia Keys, Audioslave, Beck. I like everything she listens to!"
