Brad Pitt rescues woman from trampling on 'World War Z' set

Brad Pitt has a lot on his plate, battling zombies on the set of his upcoming movie "World War Z," but he took time out to be a real life hero.

The actor rescued a woman while shooting a scene for the movie in Glasgow, Scotland, where more than 700 extras were packed into George Square to film a zombie invasion with heavy gunfire. As the crowd ran from the zombies, a female extra slipped and was nearly trampled under the huge crowd of actors.

"Lots of people hurt themselves and Brad came to the rescue of a woman who slipped. I don't think she could believe it when Brad picked her up," an on-set insider told The Scottish Sun. "He didn't have time to speak to her as it was mid-shoot. But she said afterwards how grateful she was, despite having a badly-grazed knee."

The local paper revealed that dozens of extras suffered injuries like broken bones, cuts and bruises. Pitt, who plays UN expert Gerry Lane and the director were reportedly concerned about the number of injuries and urged the cast and crew to be careful.

"Brad's heroics yesterday don't surprise me one bit - nor did hearing of the injuries," the insider continued. "We've signed up for an action-packed blockbuster, not an episode of The Beechgrove Garden. There are going to be bumps and bruises along the way."

"World War Z" follows Pitt's character who is writing a report on the "great zombie war" and interviews survivors of World War Z.

People magazine reports that Pitt has been exploring the Scottish countryside with Angelina Jolie and their six kids, who are renting a 16th-century mansion in the country while Pitt films the movie, which is slated for a December 2012 release.

Pitt recently starred in Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life" opposite Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain. He will next appear in the baseball biographic, "Moneyball" opposite Jonah Hill and Robin Wright. "Moneyball" is slated for release on September 23, 2011.

Daryl Hannah arrested near White House during oil protest

Daryl Hannah was recently detained in front of the White House while protesting a $7 billion oil pipeline set to run from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast.

The 50-year-old actress, a longtime environmental activist, was among several dozen other people who were arrested on Tuesday, August 30, during the sit-in, which was organized by the group Tar Sands Action.

Hannah was handcuffed by an officer and was detained briefly before she was released after paying a $100 fine. She was cited for failure to obey a lawful order, E! News said. No formal charges were filed against her.

The protesters oppose TransCanada Corp.'s Keystone XL pipeline, which is set to run through states such as Montana, South Dakota and Kansas to refineries in Texas. The Associated Press quoted Hannah as saying the protesters want to be free from dependence on fossil fuels and are lobbying for clean energy investments.

A recent review by the U.S. State Department found that the project posed few environmental risks and a final decision regarding its construction is expected by the end of the year, the New York Times reported.

Hannah has been arrested before for participating in environmental protests.

In 2009, she and other opponents of mountaintop removal mining were detained during a demonstration near a coal processing plant in West Virginia. Hannah was also arrested in 2006 after she and about 40 others refused to leave a Los Angeles urban farm they had tried to protect from development. During the incident, Police removed her from a walnut tree, where she had stayed for 23 days.

Hannah is known for films such as the "Kill Bill" series, the 1982 sci-fi movie "Blade Runner" and the 1984 comedy "Splash," in which she played a mermaid who falls in love with a New Yorker, played by Tom Hanks.

Sarah Jessica Parker Channels Little Red Riding Hood in Dress With Cape

Sarah Jessica Parker has made some daring fashion choices during her career (remember the crazy headpiece she donned in 2008?), and her latest look proves that the star still loves to take risks on the red carpet.

PHOTOS: How SJP's style has evolved

The 46-year-old actress attended the premiere of her movie I Don't Know How She Does It in a floor-length Giambattista Valli red strapless dress with a matching cape in Moscow, Russia on Sunday.

She accessorized the dramatic ensemble, which appeared to be a literal take on Little Red Riding Hood, with Fred Leighton jewels including large gold hoop earrings and a gold necklace.

VOTE: Who wore it best - SJP or Duchess Kate?

The mother of three recently opened up to Vogue about balancing her busy life, admitting that she constantly frets over "the internal lists, the children's doctor's appointments, the letters to write, the school projects" -- not to mention her bustling acting career.

"The thing that's most surprising to me is how much we do in a day," she said.

Beyonce announced she is pregnant at the 2011 VMAs

Beyonce Knowles revealed she's pregnant during the recently concluded MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) 2011.

Beyonce arrived at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles wearing a loose fitting orange dress, holding her visible baby bump as she posed on the red carpet.

"I have a surprise!" the 29-year-old singer told the press.

And while performing her song "Love on Top", Beyonce proudly rubbed her baby bump while telling the crowd: "I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me.

"Now I'm a woman, and because I gave it my all, I can focus on my marriage. I can decide I want to have kids. I can be the mother I want to be and dedicate myself to my children."

The child will be the first for Beyonce and her husband, rapper Jay-Z, who married in 2008.

Victoria Beckham forced to wear flats

The horror! Victoria Beckham was caught sporting simple ballet flats, reports People.com. When Posh ditches her sexy stilettos, you know something is up.

Due to a slipped disc, the 37 year-old mom is forced to wear flats these days. Something we thought we’d never see.

Victoria even wore extremely high heels throughout her recent pregnancy. The fashionista gave birth to her fourth child, daughter Harper Seven, on July 10.

While some might think Beckham’s love for Louboutins caused her back injury, Dr. Neel Anand of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center tells the Los Angeles Times that’s not the case. "There is no data that relates slipped discs to high heels," said the director of orthopedic spine surgery.

And People reports that Posh should be back in her signature sky-high heels soon. “Heels will put added pressure on the damaged area but it’s healing well,” a source said, “so it may not be an issue in another couple weeks.”

“Thank u for your kind messages,” Beckham said in reply to fan well-wishes on Twitter last week. “I’m feeling much better and enjoying every precious minute with baby Harper, I’m so in love. X VB.”

Chaz Bono to appear on 'Dancing With The Stars,' report says

Chaz Bono, who was born Chastity Bono, the daughter of Cher and Sonny Bono, and underwent a sex change will reportedly appear on season 13 of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars."

E! Online reports that Bono and actor David Arquette will appear on the upcoming season, which will officially be announced on August 29 during "Bachelor Pad," which airs at 8 p.m. ET. The season will kick off three weeks later on Monday, September 19, with a two-hour premiere.

Other stars who are rumored to join this season of the reality dancing competition include Kim Kardashian's little brother Rob Kardashian, George Clooney's ex-girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis, TV host Nancy Grace, former "The Hills" star Kristin Cavallari, actress Ricki Lake, Chynna Phillips of Wilson Phillips, Ryan O'Neal, Lakers player Ron Artest, "All My Children"'s Jr. Martinez and female soccer player Hope Solo, according to USA Today.

Chaz Bono, 42, recently opened up about his struggles his new book, "Transition: The Story of How I Became a Man," and on his new documentary, "Becoming Chaz," which came out on May 10.

In March 2009, he began the process of becoming a man. Chaz Bono took testosterone and underwent procedures such as having his breasts removed, which he told TIME magazine marked "the greatest day, probably of my life."

"I've hated my body since puberty," he said in "Becoming Chaz." "In high school, often at night, I would go to bed, praying that I'd wake up the next day as a boy. A sex change never occurred to me at that point. As a man trapped inside a female shell, I was very cut off from the whole world and now, for the first time, I'm living in my body and it looks like the way I want it to. It's making me feel more confident."

Chaz Bono and his girlfriend, Jennifer Elia, appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on in May and she told the talk show host that "it was really hard" when her partner transitioned from female to male, Us Weekly magazine reported.

Chaz Bono said in his book that Cher, a pop singer often seen as a gay icon, kicked him out of her house when he first told her he was attracted to women. Cher has not commented about such an incident.

Cher acknowledged Chaz Bono's sexual identity publicly for the first time at a National Coming Out Day event in Washington in October 1996. She said in a November 2010 interview with Vanity Fair that she sometimes mistakenly refers to Chaz Bono as a woman.

She and Sonny Bono were married between 1964 and 1975. Sonny Bono, a singer-turned-politician, died on Jan. 5, 1998 at age 62 after a skiing accident.

Michael Jackson's kids mark late singer's 53rd birthday in Gary, Indiana

Michael Jackson's three children made a rare public appearance this weekend in their father's hometown of Gary, Indiana as they and scores of fans celebrated what would have been the late King of Pop's 53rd birthday.

Prince Michael, 14, Paris, 13 and Blanket, 9, signed autographs and posed for pictures during the 3-day celebration, which was also attended by the singer's parents and their grandparents, Katherine and Joe Jackson.

"We've adjusted over the past years and I think that coming here and seeing our dad's old house and all the fans coming out ... I think it's really sweet that they did that," Paris Jackson told WLS Television, the sister station of KABC Television, parent company of OnTheRedCarpet.com.

Michael Jackson was born on Aug. 29, 1958. Joe Jackson, who maintained a strained relationship with the singer when he was alive, said he felt proud to see the outpouring of support for his son and added that Michael Jackson's youngest child, Blanket, may very well follow in his footsteps.

"They said there will never be another Michael Jackson but we have one - Blanket," Joe Jackson told WLS. "Blanket is just like Michael when Michael was young."

Blanket Jackson, his hair in a ponytail, appeared shy as he walked alongside his siblings. He said it was "good to see the place where our dad grew up."

After Michael Jackson died at age 50 on June 25, 2009 at his Los Angeles home, his children moved in with the singer's mother, who lives several miles away. The three have largely kept out of the spotlight but have spoken to the press occasionally.

Prince Michael said on "Good Morning America" in February that he would like to pursue a career in film production, saying that a UCLA teacher gave them private lessons at home. Katherine Jackson said her grandchildren often dress up and shoot home movies, adding that their interest in entertainment comes from their father.

Paris told WLS that she and her siblings have "adjusted" since their father's death, adding: "I think that coming here and seeing our dad's old house and all the fans coming out, I think it's really sweet that they did that."

She added that she would like her father to be remembered "as one of the greatest and nicest guys ever."

Michael Jackson is said to have died from an overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol and two other sedatives that were prescribed and administered by Conrad Murray, who pleaded not guilty in January to a charge of involuntary manslaughter. Jury selection for his trial is set to begin on September 8.

'The Help' tops weekend box office for a second time with $14.3 million

"The Help" topped the weekend box office for the second weekend in a row. The film, which stars Emma Stone, brought in an estimated $14.3 million, according to the Associated Press.

The weekend sum raised the movie's domestic total to $96.6 million and the film is expected to cross the $100 million mark on Tuesday.

Overall, box office business was sluggish as a result of many East Coast theaters closing in order to ride out hurricane Irene, which was downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm Sunday. Box offices totals are expected to be off by 15 to 20 percent, according to studio estimates, and about 1,000 theaters shut down for at least part of the weekend as a result of the storm.

One of the new releases for the weekend, "Colombiana" with Zoe Saldana, finished in second place with an estimated $10.3 million.

"Colombiana" stars Saldana as Cataleya, who witnesses her parents' murder in Bogota, Columbia and grows up to be a stone-cold assassin. She works as a professional hit man by day and at night, tracks down the mobster responsible for her parents' death, one vigilante murder at a time. Former "Alias" star Michael Vartan stars as Saldana's love interest, a sensitive painter.

Katie Holmes' horror film "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark," opened in third place with $8.7 million. The movie is a remake of the 1970s TV movie about a household terrorized by tiny, savage creatures. It was directed by Gillermo del Toro, best known for directing "Pan's Labyrinth." Del Toro is currently co-writing and producing a remake of "The Haunted Mansion," a film about the popular Disneyland attraction.

Four weeks after its release, "Rise of the Planet of The Apes" is still in the top five films at the box office. The blockbuster film starring James Franco brought in an estimated $8.65 million for the weekend to finish in fourth place.

The comedy "Our Idiot Brother," which featured familiar faces like Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks and Zooey Deschanel, debuted in fifth place with $6.6 million for the weekend.

Mel Gibson, Oksana Grigorieva reach settlement

Mel Gibson and ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva have reached a settlement of their bitterly fought separation.

According to the Associated Press, Los Angeles Superior Court officials confirmed the settlement on Friday, coming at the end of a multi-day settlement conference.

The civil financial agreement will be heard in an open court, according to officials. However the issue over custody of their infant daughter Lucia will be discussed in a closed session.

Terms and conditions of the settlement were not announced. A hearing is set for Wednesday.

Grigorieva, 40, dropped a domestic violence claim in early May she had submitted against the 54-year-old actor. Both the claim and the battery charge stem from a January 2010 confrontation between the two.

Grigorieva and Gibson are believed to have broken up around April 2010 after being linked together for about a year.

Michael Vartan says his 'Hawthorne' co-star Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith's marriage is 'rock solid'

Michael Vartan currently appears opposite Jada Pinkett Smith in the TNT series "Hawthorne," and told OnTheRedCarpet.com at a screening for his new movie "Colombiana" that he has little doubt that recent rumors of marriage woes are nothing but rumors.

"I don't really know anything about their private lives, but if there is one couple in Hollywood that feels like they're rock solid, it is them," Vartan told OnTheRedCarpet.com.

The former "Alias" star also joked that he "took one for the team" starring as Zoe Saldana's love interest in "Colombiana."

"I don't get to shoot any guns or hold anyone up, I took one for the team, I got to be the romantic guy" Vartan joked to OnTheRedCarpet.com at a special screening for the film. "It's actually a really fun part because her character is so closed off - she's a killer, so she's got that seemingly heart of stone and my character falls in love with her and obviously, you always want what you can't have even more, so he kind of obsesses over her and tries to figure out why she's so mysterious and cryptic."

"Colombiana," which hit theaters on August 26, stars Saldana as Cataleya, who witnesses her parents' murder in Bogota, Columbia and grows up to be a stone-cold assassin. She works as a professional hit man by day and at night, tracks down the mobster responsible for her parents' death, one vigilante murder at a time. Vartan stars as Saldana's love interest, a sensitive painter who falls for the mysterious Cat.

"She does most of her own stunt scenes in the movie which is literally insane," Vartan said. "There's a fight scene near the end, I saw the movie with my wife, and after the scene I just went, 'Holy (expletive), do you believe that?' It was amazing."

"I like the odds of a sequel," Vartan continued. "The end of the movie is very, sort of unresolved, so who knows? Maybe I will get to shoot a gun after all!"

Vartan is perhaps best known for his role as Michael Vaughn in the ABC series "Alias," where he starred opposite Jennifer Garner, who he dated from 2003 until 2004.

The 42-year-old actor has also appeared in films like "Never Been Kissed," "Monster-in-Law," "Rogue" and "One Hour Photo."

Beyonce dons a garter, gets steamy in new music video for '1 + 1'

Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z rarely talk about their relationship in interviews, but it seems that the singer is sending a message to the rapper in her new music video, which she also directed.

Beyonce debuted the music video for her single, "1 + 1" on Friday and in the video, the singer dons a garter belt and is shown tearing-up while singing about the one she loves.

Beyonce married rapper Jay-Z on April 4, 2008, but the ceremony was so secret that no photos or video from the event were released. The couple got married with a close circle of 40 friends and family members after dating for six years.

The 29-year-old singer first released "1 + 1" as a promo single in May, after performing it during the "American Idol" finale.

Beyonce's fourth album "4" hit stores on June 28 and the Grammy-winner explained the title in a recent interview on "Good Morning America."

"My birthday is on the 4th, my mother's birthday on the 4th, my husband's birthday is on the 4th, I got married on the 4th - it's just a number that keeps coming around and this is my fourth album," she said. "A lot of the fans out there today named the album. I saw on Twitter and I saw on Facebook and when I ran into some of the fans, they were like, 'We're waiting for '4,' so I said, 'All right ya'll, ya'll can name the record, here we go."

Beyonce's last album, "I Am... Sasha Fierce," was released in 2008 and earned the singer six Grammy Awards, the most Grammys ever won by a female artist in one night. Beyonce has sold more than 75 million records and earned 16 Grammy Awards in her career - including 13 as a solo artist and three as a member of Destiny's Child.

In May, she was honored with the Millennium Award at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards.

In June 2010, Knowles was ranked second on Forbes list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential celebrities in the world and first on its list of the Most Powerful and Influential musicians.

It was announced on Thursday that Beyonce would be performing at the MTV Video Music Awards, which are set to air live Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Snooki opens up about 'Jersey Shore' spinoff and 'Dancing With The Stars' rumors

"Jersey Shore" fans will be excited while fans of "Dancing With The Stars" will be disappointed -- Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi revealed that they will begin filming her and Jenni "JWoww" Farley's upcoming spinoff show very soon but shot down rumors that she would join the cast of the ABC dancing show.

On Thursday, Snooki wrote on Twitter, "We're filming this fall!! WOHOOO," when asked when the show would premiere.

In regards to "Dancing With The Stars," Snooki told E! Online, "Nobody's ever asked me, and they're saying I'm holding out for money and stuff like that. I never even got asked to even do the show, so I don't know where that's coming from."

However, the diminutive star said that she might be up to the challenge in the future, telling the entertainment site, "I would but probably not right now because I'm so busy with everything that's going on."

ABC plans to announce the Season 13 "Dancing With The Stars" cast on Monday, August 29 during "Bachelor Pad," which airs at 8 p.m. ET. The season will kick off three weeks later on Monday, September 19, with a two-hour premiere.

MTV previously leaked details about Snooki and JWoww's upcoming spinoff show, revealing that it will follow the reality stars as they move in together.

"JWoww wants to move out of her house where she lived with her boyfriend, Snooki has to get out from her parent's wing, so they move in together," executive producer SallyAnn Salsano told Entertainment Weekly. "We're not buying them a house. It's real. They're really buying it. This is all new to Snooki - buying toilet paper, and paying a bill - things that seem normal to you and I are completely foreign to Snooks... The two of them alone is completely hysterical. They have a 'Laverne & Shirley' kind of thing."

"I always call it 'Snooki and JWoww Save the World,'" Salsano continued. "It's just letting them loose in the regular universe."

The network announced in April that they planned two "Jersey Shore" spinoff series, one starring Snooki and JWoWW and the other following Paul "DJ Pauly D" Delvecchio.

"Jersey Shore," which is MTV's No. 1 series of all time, was the top-rated cable series of 2010, breaking ratings records and becoming a pop culture phenomenon. The hugely popular series depicts a group of party-loving, self-proclaimed "Guidos and Guidettes."

The program's fourth season, which shows the cast on a trip to Italy, began airing on August 4. The "Jersey Shore" cast began filming season 5 in New Jersey in late June. In the new season, the cast works in an Italian pizzeria and tries to maintain their schedule of G.T.L., or gym, tanning and laundry, which is made more difficult with the language barrier.

The cast returned to the show's original location, Seaside Heights, New Jersey, for filming of the fifth season. Production for the new season began in late June, shortly after the cast returned from Italy.

Britney Spears: I would probably be a teacher if I weren't famous

Britney Spears still brings in the fans, but the singer says that if she hadn't gone the pop star route, she would have wanted to be a teacher.

"[Life without fame] would probably pretty much be the same because I'm very strong in the way I raise my kids and stuff... but career-wise I'd probably be a teacher" Spears told the entertainment site PopJustice.com. "I love kids, and even in what I do now one of my favorite parts of my day is getting to meet my fans before the show. Especially the little ones. They are always so cute."

The 29-year-old mother of two continued, "I'd specialize in reading and history," telling the website that her favorite historical period is the 1920s. Spears' mother Lynn was a teacher.

At an early age, Spears' mother moved her from Louisiana to New York in order to attend the Professional Performing Arts School. Britney left school in 1992 when she was cast in "The Mickey Mouse Club."

When the show was canceled in 1995, Spears returned to Louisiana and attended high school at the nearby Parklane Academy in McComb, Mississippi.

"I was so bored," Spears told Rolling Stone magazine in her 2000 cover story. "I was the point guard on the basketball team. I had my boy-friend, and I went to homecoming and Christmas formal. But I wanted more. I mean, it was fun while it lasted, but then I got the record deal, and I left."

Spears left school in ninth grade and completed her high school correspondence classes through the eleventh grade, according to Rolling Stone.

The pop singer is currently juggling a world tour with motherhood, but she said that her sons Sean Preston, 5, and Jayden, 4, are her top priority and if they decide to go into the entertainment business, Momma Spears plans to protect them.

"I'd definitely keep an eye on them, but if that's what they wanted to do then I'd let them go after it... I'd just be very protective," Spears said. "I wouldn't want them to go into it feeling fearful, and also nobody can really prepare you for this industry and what you experience, so I'd just have to trust that they have the instincts to know what's right and wrong and help guide them along the way. I think I have the experience."

The entertainment sire also asked Spears what the end of the world would sound like, which allowed Spears to demonstrate that her humor is intact, answering, "It would go snap, crackle and pop."

Earlier in the month, it was announced that Joe Jonas would join Britney Spears on the upcoming European leg of her "Femme Fatale" tour, taking over from Nicki Minaj. Check out her tour dates here

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux move in together

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have taken their relationship to the next level and moved in together.

"They decided to rent a house together while they keep searching for the perfect [one] to buy," a source told People magazine. "Jen and Justin are very excited about living together in their new home."

The couple has reportedly been house-hunting since July, but have been living in the two-bedroom Hollywood Hills rental house since August 1, while they keep looking for the perfect home.

The actress moved out of her Beverly Hills home in July after deciding she needed to "simplify" her life. The property sold for $38 million.

The couple recently took a romantic trip to Hawaii, where they helped actor Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor celebrate Taylor's 40th birthday at the couple's oceanfront home.

Aniston, 42, and Theroux, 39, have been romantically linked since May. Photographer Terry Richardson recently gave fans a glimpse of the happy couple snuggling in New York.

At the time, it was rumored that Theroux had broken up with his girlfriend of 14 years, costume designer Heidi Bivens, in order to date the actress. People magazine reports that the previous relationship was over before the couple began dating.

"I know people are saying Jen broke them up, but they had been on-and-off for years," a source close to Theroux told People.

Meanwhile, a source close to Aniston says the actress would "never hook up with a guy who has a girlfriend," adding that Aniston is "very happy with Justin."

Last week, Aniston and Theroux were photographed wearing matching name-plate rings on their ring fingers while leaving the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York.

Aniston recently appeared in the comedy "Horrible Bosses" opposite Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Kevin Spacey and Colin Farrell. The movie follows three frustrated employees who plot to murder their awful bosses.

Aniston will next appear opposite Paul Rudd in the comedy "Wanderlust," about an urban couple who leaves the city to try a counter-culture lifestyle. Theroux also stars in the film, which is slated for release on October 7, 2011.

Kathy Griffin declares love for Justin Bieber in YouTube video, was inspired by Jim Carrey

Kathy Griffin has spoofed Jim Carrey's recent video that shows him declaring his love for Emma Stone, although her mock object of affection may need his mother's consent to take the comedienne up on her offer.

"This is a message for you, Justin Bieber," Griffin, 50, says to the 17-year-old pop star in her YouTube clip, which she adds was inspired by Carrey. "I want you to know you are all the way beautiful ... you're smart and kind-hearted. That's sort of an assumption, but you seem nice."

"If I could, I would marry you," she added. "Oh, that's actually not true. It's messy, Justin. There's a distribution of assets. We would just go steady."

Bieber has not commented. The Canadian singer is one of the most popular teenage music artists in the world, is followed by more than 12 million people on Twitter and even had an ice cream sundae named after him in Harrods, the most famous store in the United Kingdom.

Griffin has often made fun of Bieber in her comedy routines and spoofed him in a video that aired on ABC talk show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" last year.

Griffin's video was posted soon after Carrey's clip was released on Thursday, August 25, on his newly-launched website. His video quickly went viral and even crashed the page.

In Carrey's video, the 49-year-old actor tells Stone, a 22-year-old actress who appears in the new film "The Help" and the upcoming "Amazing Spider-Man" movie reboot, that he loves her and would marry her if he "were a lot younger."

Stone's spokesperson told news outlets hours after the clip was posted that He later said on his Twitter page that his video was a "comedy routine," adding: "The funniest part is that everything i said is tru."


Stone's spokespeople had no immediate comment to OnTheRedCarpet.com. A message on a website said to belong to the actress read: "Well I guess I'm flattered. :) So I've never got this many texts, emails, calls, etc ... I''s like a sex tape that I wasn't even in leaked to the Internet. Jim has been a lifetime idol of mine, and obviously he's just being silly."

Jim Carrey posts online love letter for Emma Stone

Jim Carrey has gone public with his love for fellow actor Emma Stone with an online video he describes as a joke.

The comedian posted the video to his new website on Wednesday. The love letter contains intense lines like: "Emma, I think you're all the way beautiful. Not just pretty, but smart and kind-hearted. And if I were a lot younger, I would marry you."

He continues: "We would have chubby little freckle-faced kids, we'd laugh all day long, go camping and play Yahtzee. Tell ghost stories by the fire. ...And every day, for the rest of your life, you would thank God that I was the appropriate age for you." (Carrey even mentions the sex he’d like to have with “The Help” star.)


"But I'm not. I'm 49,” says Carrey, acknowledging that he might be a wee bit too old for the 22-year-old starlet. “I have lines on my face, sometimes a little gray in my beard, and it takes me a little bit longer to pee than it used to."

“I think you're pretty special. I wish you continued success and artistic fulfillment,” Carrey tells Stone. "But most of all, I wish you love and contentment."

As for the video’s purpose, the “Mr. Popper's Penguins” star says he "just wanted to let [her] know how I felt."

Reps for Carrey tell CNN that the video is not actually a proclamation of love, but instead "a completely comical video love letter" to the actress.

Carrey has also tweeted references to it being a joke, writing, "Yes, my msg to Emma Stone was a comedy routine and the funniest part is that everything i said is tru."

The rep explains that the video is all part of the launch of Carrey’s new website, jimcarreytrulife.com.

Halle Berry's ex-husband marries Prince's ex-wife

Get ready to throw some e-rice: Eric Benet, (Halle Berry's ex-husband) tied the knot with Manuela Testolini (Prince's ex-wife) on Sunday, CNN has confirmed.

The longtime couple reportedly married in Newport Beach, California after being engaged for eight months. Benet told Us Weekly in January that he used a love song to propose to Testolini last November.

"During a romantic dinner, I decided to finally let Manuela hear 'Never Want to Live Without You,' a song off my new album that I had written for her," Benet recalled. "I sang it to her, then got down on one knee and proposed."


Benet, who has teen daughter India from a prior relationship, may also be expecting a little one. According to Radar Online, the newlyweds are rumored to have announced that Manuela is pregnant during the reception.

After four years of marriage, Halle Berry divorced R&B singer Benet in 2005 amid allegations he was cheating. Testolini and Prince split in 2006, after five years of marriage.

Remembering Aaliyah, 10 years later

It's been a decade since the tragic death of R&B star and budding actress Aaliyah Dana Haughton.

Just 22 years old at the time of her death, she was in the Bahamas heading back to the States after wrapping up her 2001 music video, "Rock The Boat."

The twin-engine plane crashed shortly after takeoff. Aboard were Aaliyah and eight others -- including her hair stylist, Eric Forman, makeup artists Anthony Dodd and Christopher Maldonado, security guard Scott Gallin, video producer Douglas Kratz, Blackground Records employees Keith Wallace and Gina Smith, and the pilot, Luis Morales III. In an instant their lives and Aaliyah's promising career were gone.

Born in Brooklyn and raised in Detroit, she quickly garnered a fan base in the early '90s with her original take on R&B music. Working with industry greats like Missy Elliott, Timbaland, R. Kelly and more, she topped the charts with a slew of hits, including "Back & Forth," "Age Ain't Nothin' But a Number," "Are You That Somebody" and "We Need A Resolution".

Aaliyah's standout fashion sense made her a hot commodity among the fashion crowd: She modeled for Tommy Hilfiger, who showcased her tomboy appeal -- baggy jeans and a tight-fitting shirt -- and was featured on the covers of many magazines with that trendsetting hair swoop over her left eye.

Her influence on the music game is still relevant today. She has inspired artists from singer-rapper Drake to pop superstar Beyonce. Ciara, who is best known for her singing and dancing moves, has an Aaliyah-inspired stage presence and dressing style.

Singer-songwriter Tank, who worked closely with Aaliyah on her last two albums, spoke with Concrete Loop earlier this year about where she would be right now if she were alive. "She would be at the top and there would probably be a few people who wouldn't have careers," he said.

If you think about it, she was already on top. At the time of her death, she had three top-selling albums under her belt, many nominations and awards and was slated to have a big role in "The Matrix Reloaded" and "Matrix Revolution" movies.

She had just completed her work on the film, "Queen of The Damned" and was already being sought after for other movie roles. Not to mention, she had a solid and loyal fan base. However, the rest of her journey to superstardom just wasn't meant to be.

A month before her untimely death, Aaliyah granted MTV's show "Diary" behind-the-scenes access to her fast-paced life and said, "I am truly blessed to wake up every morning to do something that I love; there is nothing better than that."

She continued, "Everything is worth it -- the hard work, the times when you're tired, the times when you are a bit sad. In the end, it's all worth it because it really makes me happy. I wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world. I've got good friends, a beautiful family and I've got a career. I thank God for his blessings every single chance I get."

So, on August 25, blast Aaliyah's timeless music loud and remember her for being a trendsetting force in fashion and for helping to redefine and take R&B music to another level.

Rihanna: Sex tape? You need more people

Rihanna isn't one to be demure about her preferences in the bedroom, but now there are claims that her private moments have been caught on tape.

Adult company Hustler tells E! News that they have footage of RiRi during an intimate session, which reports claim also involves rapper J.Cole, but that they don't know "what we are going to do with it yet."

But a source close to the 23-year-old singer tells E! no such tape exists, and Rihanna has done the same.

"We don't believe U, U need more people," she tweeted Wednesday. "AND ofcourse an actual sextape! #slownewsday."

LeAnn Rimes' dinner interrupted by critical stranger, lashes out at unsupportive fans

LeAnn Rimes' whittled frame has come under scrutiny again, this time from a stranger in a restaurant, who interrupted the singer's dinner to tell her to eat more.

"How dare someone come to me at a table with the boys and tell me I need to eat something. What is wrong with people?" Rimes tweeted recently. "As I'm stuffing my face... have another drink and maybe take a class in manners! Cheers!"

The 28-year-old singer was dining with her husband Eddie Cibrian, his parents and the actor's sons in Chicago when the diner approached their table.

Rimes vented to her Twitter followers, but some of them agreed with the stranger and writing that "lots of folks think you're getting too thin" and saying that she's beginning to "look 12 years old," to which Rimes fired back, "Once again, I'm done talking to rude people who have no right to have an opinion on my body. Out of line!"

Rimes later added, "If it happened to someone who wasn't a 'celebrity' it would be rude, but to a public figure it's socially [acceptable]?"

The growing concern for the singer's health snowballed until Rimes' wrote, "You do not have the right to vomit out an opinion of anyone you do not know in front of family at a restaurant. And that's not an 'opinion' -- that's judgment of someone else."

Rimes caught flack for her weight back in May after posting photos of herself in a bikini on her Twitter page and defended her workout and figure in June after more users commented about her size.

"I just eat a balanced diet and watch how much 'crap' I put in my body," Rimes said on her Twitter page on Friday, June 17 in response to a fan. "I did have mac and cheese this morning and enjoyed every bite! Gotta have those days."

Rimes also detailed her exercise plan.

"I work out ... 3 days a week if I'm lucky," she Tweeted. "I'm constantly on the move and my workouts are intense."

Rimes addressed criticism and concern people had expressed regarding her body on her blog on Thursday, saying: "What no woman or man needs is anyone telling them they are 'too fat' or 'too skinny.' That just adds to the many stereotypes out there about a person's weight."

"I don't deny that there are people around the world with real problems such as bulimia, anorexia, or binge eating," she said. "But I'm talking about our obsession as a society with body image and how it's started to control and tear our lives apart. I hope that any girl, boy, woman, or man reading this will think before they speak, and that anyone in need of help finds a safe place to get it."

In May, one of Rimes' followers commented on the photos, saying: "Whoa, you're scary skinny! Sorry don't mean to offend but that's a lot of bones showing through skin."

The country singer replied: "Those are called abs, not bones, love," adding later, "This is my body, and I can promise you I'm a healthy girl. I'm just lean. Thanks for your concern, but no need to be."

Rimes got into a similar argument in March after debuting a significantly slimmed-down figure.

At the time, Rimes wrote on her Twitter page: "I am completely healthy! If people only saw how much I ate."

The singer wrote back to another fan in March when asked if she saw a tabloid article about her weight saying: "I don't care about the dumb articles. I know how healthy I am. Maybe those people should start taking care of themselves...inside and out."

Rimes later told another fan: "I take care of myself, eat what I want without putting crap into my body and am at a healthy weight."

Back in September, Rimes graced the cover of Shape magazine and talked about her workout habits, saying: "Going to the gym and punching out some of my aggression on a pair of mitts has been a lifesaver. Sometimes I felt so depressed I didn't want to get out of bed, so just getting to the gym - even for a few minutes - was a big accomplishment. "

On April 22, Rimes married actor Eddie Cibrian in a private ceremony. Rimes and Cibrian went public with their romance back in 2009 after falling in love on the set of the Lifetime movie, "Northern Lights." At the time, Cibrian was still married to Brandi Glanville while Rimes was married to Dean Sheremet. Rimes and Sheremet divorced in June 2010 while Cibrian and Glanville finalized their divorce in October 2010.

Dakota Fanning, a former child star who appears in the "Twilight" films, is set to attend New York University this fall, OnTheRedCarpet.com has confirmed.

The 17-year-old graduated from high school in June. She enrolled at NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study earlier this year and plans to begin her college courses when the fall semester begins in September, a college spokesperson told OnTheRedCarpet.com on Thursday, August 25.

Earlier this week, an NYU-branded email address containing her full name - Hannah Dakota Fanning - was seen in the college's database, according to NYU Local, NYU's news blog.

Throughout her high school days at Campbell Hall, an Episcopal day school in North Hollywood, California, Fanning was a cheerleader and was voted homecoming queen.

The Georgia native rose to fame as a child actress when she appeared on the medical drama series "ER" and as a 5-year-old version of Ally McBeal on the law show by the same name.

She later appeared on programs such as "The Practice" and "Malcolm in the Middle" and appeared alongside Sean Penn in the 2001 movie "I Am Sam."

In 2002, she starred in the romantic comedy "Sweet Home Alabama," which featured Reese Witherspoon in the main role, and played Allie Keys in the mini-series "Taken" in 2002. Fanning starred in the 2005 reboot of "War of the Worlds" with Tom Cruise and in the 2006 film "Charlotte's Web."

In 2010, Fanning co-starred with Stewart in the music biopic "The Runaways" and reprised her role in the third "Twilight" movie, "Eclipse." Fanning plays the same part in the fourth and final installment, the two-part "Breaking Dawn." Part 1 is set for release on November 18 (spoiler alert).

Fanning recently filmed the independent film "Now Is Good" and has several more movies in the works - "Effie" with Emma Thompson, "Mississippi Wild" with Mickey Rourke and "Very Good Girls" with Dustin Hoffman." All films are due out in 2012.

Another film Fanning recently filmed that is due to be released that year is the drama "The Motel Life." It stars Stephen Dorff, who appeared with the actress' younger sister Elle in the 2010 movie "Somewhere." The younger Fanning sister recently won rave reviews for her performance in the sci-fi film "Super 8."

Barbra Streisand releases new album, 'What Matters Most,' a tribute to friends

Barbra Streisand recently released her 33rd studio album, "What Matters Most," made up of songs written by Oscar-winning songwriting couple Alan and Marilyn Bergman.

The record hit stores on Tuesday, August 23. The Bergmans, who are in their 80s, have been friends with the 69-year-old Oscar and Grammy-winning singer and actress since they met her in New York in the 1960s, when she was just beginning her music career.

"When we write a song, we hear Barbra," the couple said in a statement. "She makes the connection from the heart to the mind, and it emerges through her voice."

Marilyn Bergman told CBS News that she was moved to tears when she first saw the singer on stage. Streisand performed the Leonard Bernstein song "My Name Is Barbara."

The first CD in the "What Matters Most" album contains 10 songs written by the Bergmans that Streisand had never recorded before, such as "The Windmills of Your Mind." Noel Harrison's version of the track won an Oscar and was featured in the 1968 film "The Thomas Crown Affair.'" The song was also previously recorded by artists such as Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, Elaine Paige and even the Muppets.

The first disc also contains a cover of the track "Nice n' Easy," made popular by Frank Sinatra.

A deluxe version of "What Matters Most" contains a second disc, made up of 10 tracks by the Bergmans that Streisand has sung in the past, including her hit single "The Way We Were," the Oscar-winning title song of Streisand's 1973 movie of the same name, and "Papa Can You Hear Me?," the haunting ballad Streisand sings to her character's late father in the 1983 film "Yentl."

Streisand told CBS News that she does not worry about maintaining her voice.

"I don't worry about it," she said. "I never vocalize. I never sing in the shower either. It's like a gift that I can't even explain to you. When I love the music that I'm singing, it's just there for me. I'm very lucky."

Meanwhile, Streisand continues to act as well and recently filmed the comedy movie "My Mother's Curse," which sees her playing the mother of Seth Rogen's character, an inventor. The film also stars Adam Scott and Colin Hanks and is set for release on Nov. 2, 2012.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith respond to split rumors: 'We are still together'

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith released a joint statement on Tuesday about recent reports that said the two ended their 13-year marriage.

"Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false," the couple said in a joint statement obtained by OnTheRedCarpet.com "We are still together, and our marriage is intact."

A report surfaced on InTouch Weekly's website on Tuesday claiming that the couple had separated.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith married in December 1997 and have two children together. Their 13-year-old son Jaden starred in the 2010 summer hit remake of "The Karate Kid" and daughter Willow, 10, is pursuing a music career. Will Smith has an 18-year-old son named Willard Christopher Smith III, nicknamed Trey, from a previous marriage to Sheree Zampino that ended in divorce in 1995.

Smith and Pinkett Smith met on the set of Will Smith's hit 90s sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air." The two were last photographed together in late July while vacationing in Hawaii.

Several reports, including one by Us Weekly, cited an unnamed source close to the pair who denied InTouch Weekly's report of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's split.

The couple has spoken openly in the past about how dedicated they are to making their marriage work in order to avoid divorce.

"What I found is divorce just can't be an option," Will Smith told Ellen DeGeneres during a May 2008 appearance on "The Elen DeGeneres Show." "It's really that simple. And I think that's the problem with L.A. -- there are so many options. So a huge part of the success for [Jada] and I is that we just removed the other options."

Jada Pinkett Smith told UpTown magazine this past June, "People think that Will and I don't spend a lot of time together. Too much time, actually, if you ask me." She added, "It's always nice to have a little time apart. Sometimes you need that."

The actress currently stars on "HawthoRNe" alongside Marc Anthony, who announced his separation from Jennifer Lopez in July. The show kicked off its third season premiere on June 14.

Meanwhile Will Smith recently reprised his role as Agent J for the upcoming sequel "Men In Black 3." Smith has several movies in production and more than three dozen under development, including sequels to "Independence Day," "Hancock," "I, Robot" and "Bad Boys," and a prequel to his 2007 film, "I Am Legend."

They also had success writing for themselves: Perhaps the biggest known hit sung by them was the 1980s hit Solid As A Rock.

Ashford and Simpson's relationship stretched more than four decades. They met in 1964 in a New York City church; Ashford, a South Carolina native, had come to the city to pursue a dance career.

Jennifer Hudson sings on 'Night of Your Life' track by David Guetta

Hudson's latest album "I Remember Me" hit stores back in March and now the singer and Academy Award-winning actress is giving fans a new taste of music.

The former "American Idol" contestant teamed up with famed French DJ David Guetta, responsible for hits like "Gettin' Over You" with Fergie and LMFAO and "Memories" with Kid Cudi, for the track "Night of Your Life."

The song strays slightly from Hudson's R&B style and features a house beat where she belts lyrics like "Love me/Baby treat me right/Make it eternity/And not only one night. If you love me/ Til the end of time / Then I will promise you the night of your life." The song can be heard below.

"I Remember Me" was the follow-up to the 29-year-old's 2008 album, "Jennifer Hudson," which won a Grammy Award and has sold more than 800,000 copies. The record features songs written and produced by Alicia Keys, her husband Swizz Beatz, Rich Harrison, Ne-Yo and Stargate.

The singer has made headlines lately for her dramatic weight loss. Since becoming an ambassador for Weight Watchers a year and a half ago, Hudson has reportedly slimmed down to a size zero, "The View" co-host Joy Behar said recently.

"I was in a store shopping, looking for a dress and I suddenly say 'Oh there's somebody I know' and it was Jennifer Hudson and she was shopping and she said 'I know you,'" Behar said on the morning talk show. "Then I heard the sales girl say to her 'You're a size 0' and I said to Jennifer 'How does that feel?' and she said 'I feel like they're talking to someone else.'"

The former "American Idol" finalist and Oscar-winning actress is a spokeswoman for "Weight Watchers" and in January, she told Oprah Winfrey that she has lost 80 pounds, going from a size 16 to a size 6 through diet and exercise.

Hudson, who won an Oscar for her role in the 2006 film "Dreamgirls," plans to discuss her weight loss secrets in an upcoming memoir.

The singer got engaged to WWE wrestler and Harvard Law School graduate David Otunga in 2008, the couple has yet to announce a wedding date and welcomed their son David Daniel Otunga Jr. on August 10, 2009.

Listen to David Guetta and Jennifer Hudson's new single "Night of Your Life" below.

'The Carter IV' will be Wayne's first album since his release from prison in November. The hip-hop artist spent his eight months behind bars last year for a 2007 felony gun conviction.

Actress Anne Hathaway recently showed off her rap skills during an appearance on "Conan" last week. The 28-year-old actress recently performed a rap in what she called "the style of Lil Wayne" on the TBS late-night talk show.

Megan Fox opens up about tattoo removal on Marilyn Monroe ink

Megan Fox, 24, has opened up about her ongoing tattoo removal of the Marilyn Monroe portrait on her right forearm.

"I'm removing it," Fox told Italian fashion magazine Amica. "It is a negative character, as she suffered from personality disorders and was bipolar. I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life."

In the past, Fox has touted her similarities to the sex symbol, once saying that she was afraid she might die early like the screen legend.

"I basically read every book ever written about Marilyn Monroe," Fox told Wonderland magazine in 2009. "I could end up like that because I constantly struggle with the idea that I think I'm a borderline personality - or that I have bouts of mild schizophrenia. I definitely think I have some kind of mental problem and I haven't pinpointed what it is."

In April, OnTheRedCarpet.com reported that "Transformers" actress' ink showed signs of fading at the Golden Globe Awards and appeared increasingly faint at more recent appearances. The above photo shows Fox's tattoo at the Golden Globe awards in January and before treatment, at the 2009 at the Teen Choice Awards.

Fox still has several tattoos that haven't been touched, including "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies" on her right shoulder, which is a quote from Shakespeare's "King Lear" and "there once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her heart" on her ribs.

Several celebrities have removed tattoos - especially those who had their significant other's name inked on them, such as Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen and former married couple Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton. Johnny Depp famously had his Winona Ryder tribute tattoo "Winona Forever" partially removed to read, "Wino Forever."

Fox will appear next in director Jennifer Westfeldt's ("Kissing Jessica Stein") comedy, "Friends with Kids" alongside the director's husband Jon Hamm ("Mad Men"), Kristen Wiig and Adam Scott.

The actress is currently filming "This is Forty," Judd Apatow's spin-off of the 2007 movie "Knocked Up." In the new movie, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, who is also Apatow's wife, will reprise their characters as a long time married couple facing relationship woes.

The film also stars John Lithgow, Chris O'Dowd, Albert Brooks, "Knocked Up" actors Jason Segel and Charlyne Yi and Melissa McCarthy, who starred in the Apatow produced film "Bridesmaids" and Ava Sambora, daughter of actress Heather Locklear and Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora.

Don King Hits 80, Celebrates by Working More

Legendary boxing promoter Don King turns 80 today (August 20), but neither his publicist Alan Hopper, nor anyone in his entire company seems to be able to get him to slow down long enough to celebrate the big day.

“Don has been like, ‘tell the media that I’m working.’ So, you know, his celebration is to work,” Hopper – King’s Vice President of media relations – explained, adding “We’ve gone out to dinner. We even got him a little cake last night. So it’s been an absolute celebration this entire week. But most of all, he’s just been working.”

King, known best for his wild hairstyle and flamboyant personality, entered the boxing world on August 28, 1972, when he convinced Muhammad Ali to take part in a charity fight for a local Cleveland hospital.

Even his debut in boxing was “King-sized,” as the fundraiser ended up becoming the second largest grossing boxing exhibition fight in the history of the sport.

From there, King went on to promote more than 500 world championship fights for some of the greatest boxers ever.

Don’s impressive roster of prize fighters, many of whom would finish their career with Hall of Fame credentials, included names like Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Wilfred Benítez, Roberto Durán, Salvador Sánchez, Wilfredo Gómez, and Alexis Argüello.

Inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame in 1997, King is also the only promoter to have been named to Sports Illustrated’s list of the “40 Most Influential Sports Figures of the Past 40 Years.”

Ms. Hathaway

The "Dark Knight Rises" actress takes on an English accent and a well-loved story for her new movie, "One Day," which also stars Jim Sturgess. The best-selling book follows the pair's friendship over the years.

Fashion Faceoff: Jessica Alba vs. Helen Mirren

Oh, no she didn't! Hollywood mom-to-be Jessica Alba and timeless beauty Helen Mirren donned very similar leopard-print Dolce & Gabbana dresses just three months apart. Alba, 30, used it to show off her baby bump (before giving birth August 13 to daughter Haven), while Dame Mirren proved she's still got "it" at 66. That leaves just one question to ask in this style showdown ... who wore it better?

"Spy Kids" star Jessica rocked the frock while hosting a party for Lucky magazine (she's the September cover girl) and ThisNext.com on July 20 in Los Angeles. The brunette wisely let the floor-length gown be the main attraction, as she kept her accessories to a minimum, adding only hoop earrings and bangle bracelets.

Her competition, star of "The Queen," wore the design at the premiere of her movie "Arthur" on April 20 in NYC. Mirren finished off her fun ensemble with a fitted black leather jacket with matching sleeves, hoop earrings of her own, and a black clutch.

Before declaring a winner, I must make a style confession: I've never been crazy about animal prints. They can look oh-so wrong unless you wear them just right. In this case, however, both Jessica and Helen look fierce! Each woman wore the gown in a way that flatters her body and is appropriate for her stage of life. Both simply stun, and for that, I have to declare it a tie. Do you agree?
