Jessica Biel on one of her life's toughest choices

What do you want to do before you die? If you’re Jessica Biel, you’re opting to scuba dive a sunken ship, as she told Glamour magazine in their July issue.

“I would like to sail around some part of the world and live on a boat,” Biel told Glamour. “I have a love of Egyptology. I would like to go there and see the pyramids. [As a kid I wanted] to be Indiana Jones and dig for bones and find mummies….”

The 28-year-old actress – who will star in “The A-Team” alongside Bradley Cooper – tried to shed some of her notorious privacy with the magazine, like opening up on one of the toughest decision she’s made in life: leaving college.

John Mayer cancels shows due to illness

John Mayer has pulled out of the rest of his European tour due to an illness, according to a message posted on the musician's website.

“After performing in a sold-out show in Copenhagen, John Mayer was forced to cancel his second show there on 5/31,” the statement reads. The same goes for the remaining European shows that were scheduled in Amsterdam, Madrid and Manchester; the statement instructs ticket holders to apply for a refund.

If you’re fretful about Mayer’s health, this should ease your worry: the talkative singer is headed home to the States, and “a full recovery is expected under doctor’s supervision,” the statement said.

Behind the Scenes at 'Showbiz Tonight': Tipper, Fergie and Charlie

Hey, it’s 'Showbiz Tonight’s' A.J. Hammer, and we just got out of our morning meeting. Lots of debate going on with what we’re going to lead the show with today…

So here’s what we’re going with… Al and Tipper Gore’s shocking split! After 40 years of marriage, they're breaking up. Could this be the biggest celebrity breakup of all time? Bigger than say, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? Even Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman? What do you think?

Also, it’s the star scandal showdown! Sarah Ferguson vs. Charlie Sheen: she was caught on tape selling access to her ex Prince Andrew scandal, and Charlie's allegations of assaulting of his wife.

Conan O'Brien's basic cable dance-off

If you (like us) weren’t in NYC last night or for other reasons couldn’t attend Conan O’Brien’s first of two Big Apple performances while on his “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television” tour, you have the right (as we do) to be a little jealous of those who were there.

One of the highlights from the night - which can be seen in a few videos on YouTube - was a dance-off between Conan O’Brien, Stephen Colbert and then Jon Stewart.

It all started between just O'Brien and Colbert - to the tune of "Pour Some Sugar on Me" - but after Colbert suffered an unfortunate hamstring injury, Stewart stepped up to the plate ready to dance in a red shirt, gold cummerbund and tight black pants with a sparkly gold racing stripe - O'Brien dubbed the look, "Mexican waiter." (Really, you have to watch the video.)

'Glee' tears the roof off the mutha

“Glee” totally got me out of my “American Idol” funk on Tuesday.

After months of suffering through what was in my opinion one of the worst seasons of “Idol” ever, there was my ever beloved “Glee” to lighten my heart.

The episode was so incredible, especially because I never, ever expected to see the kids of McKinley High take on funk music. Seriously, when you think about the various genres a show choir can attack, funk doesn’t exactly come immediately to mind.

Bradley Cooper: People thought I was a girl

If Bradley Cooper's roles in movies like “The Hangover,” “Wedding Crashers” and “He’s Just Not That Into You" rubbed you the wrong way, don't hold it against him. As Cooper explained in the June/July issue of Details, he’s not a jerk – he’s just good at playing one.

Cooper, who grew up in Philadelphia, told the men’s magazine that he wasn’t handed his Hollywood career.

“I’ve never lived the life of ‘Oh, you’re so good looking.’ People thought I was a girl when I was little, because I looked like a girl— maybe because my mother would keep my hair really long in a bowl cut,” the 35-year-old actor recalled. “I was in a coffee shop once and the waitress was like, ‘What do you want, Miss?’ I was 10 or 11— the worst age to have that happen. I had a jean jacket on and a Metallica pin. I thought I was really cool.”
