Courtney Love chronicles her daily wear

Wondering what Courtney Love wore today?

Consider it no more because you can see for yourself on a new site called, appropriately enough, What Courtney Wore Today.

StyleList describes the site as documenting Love’s “designer-laden wardrobe (McQueen, Preen, Pucci, oh my!) via blurry snaps and gushing gibberishtext apparently written by a fan/underling.”

And the site apparently has the singer’s seal of approval as she recently tweeted on her official Twitter account “I'm going to help Taylor and the girls with www.whatcourtneyworetoday.com it will explain itself."

The one thing you won't see Lindsay Lohan do

• Cameras must stop rolling when the judge announces she is remanded and the bailiff is instructed to take her into custody.
• No one is allowed to shoot Lohan being handcuffed.
• Photos of Lohan must be restricted to when she’s at the counsel table.

Michael Cera on losing his virginity

The difference between who Michael Cera is in real life and the awkward but affable characters he portrays on film isn’t always obvious, but that's just because Cera's a superb actor. Obviously.

The young star told Playboy magazine, when asked if he was an acting prodigy or playing himself on “Arrested Development,” that he’s “for sure an acting prodigy….Off set, I used to joke with the crew guys about how we’d all beat up my character if he ever tried to hang out around us.”

The 22-year-old’s next role will be in “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World,” in theaters August 13, where he'll play the indie leading man who has to take down the seven ex-boyfriends of his love interest. This role, coupled with stints in movies like "Paper Heart" and "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," just may be elevating Cera’s status as a heartthrob.

In today's "Showbiz Tonight" morning meeting, we all thought we were hallucinating after Executive Producer Dave Levine revealed that Donald Trump has reportedly cast Tiger Woods’s alleged mistress, Rachel Uchitel, on “The Celebrity Apprentice."

Picture this: Taylor Lautner as Wolverine?

“Twilight” heartthrob Taylor Lautner makes a fine wolf, but could he play a Wolverine?

The upcoming “X-Men: First Class” chronicles the teen years of many of the Marvel Comics team’s most popular heroes, and while Hugh Jackman believes 18-year-old Lautner could be a good choice to portray a younger version of his razor-sharp character, he does have some concerns.

“My only question is, can he grow mutton chops?” 41-year-old Jackman joked to E! Online about the smooth-skinned actor, who has not been cast in the movie.
