'True Blood' actress: I'm always hungryIt wouldn’t take an expert to know that plenty of Hollywood actors pay strict attention to their physiques, regardless of how many "trust me, I eat Doritos all the time” quotes get printed. But “True Blood’s” Kristin Bauer, who plays Pam on the series, isn’t one to sugarcoat reality. “The other day I realized as long as I'm in this business, I'm going to be hungry,” she told PopEater. “The camera really does add 10 pounds. I'm trying to stay under the weight I want to look like on TV.” Britney Spears is headed to 'Glee'Oh, the joys "Glee's" second season will bring. In addition to Carol Burnett being cast as Sue Sylvester's mom, the possibility of Susan Boyle playing a lunch lady and a Britney Spears-themed episode, “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed that Spears herself will also make an appearance on the show. “Britney, I think 100 percent, is going to be on the episode, which is exciting,” Murphy said on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show. “She’ll come and join us and do a couple of scenes.” Behind the Scenes on 'Showbiz Tonight': Should the flight attendant get a reality show?Hey, did you hear the story about the flight attendant who went bonkers after his plane landed in New York City? We're sure you have, because honestly, how could you not? “Showbiz Tonight” Associate Producer Jessica Como said people were talking about the flight attendant gone wild during her commute to work, and we were talking about it before the “Showbiz Tonight” morning meeting even started! The story is so wild, we think the flight attendant, Steven Slater, should get his own show. Ed Norton and Mark Ruffalo still 'cool'It looks like Ed Norton subscribes to the philosophy, “bros before roles.” The “Fight Club” star reportedly has no hard feelings towards friend Mark Ruffalo, who snagged the role of the Hulk in the upcoming "Avengers" movie. Norton played "The Incredible Hulk" back in 2008, but Marvel said in July that they were looking for "an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members" to play the gigantic green monster in "Avengers." Casting the annoyed airline attendantNow that he has the fame, all he needs is a movie deal. As folks around the world cheer for Steven Slater, the now infamous JetBlue attendant who quit his job in a really spectacular way, we started to wonder who could play him when Hollywood comes knocking. Because seriously, you know Tinseltown is going to come knocking. Snooki is 'too pretty to be in jail'Unless you’re Lindsay Lohan and allowed to keep your weave, jail is about as unglamorous as one can get. It’s also, as Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi told MTV News, not the place for someone as attractive as she. “I’m too pretty to be in jail. I’m a good person. I’m not a criminal and I will never go back there," the "Jersey Shore" star said. Checking in to 'Bachelor Pad'Last night's premiere of "Bachelor Pad" began with host Chris Harrison expressing shock that some former "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" contestants have found love and started families. However, there are some former contestants who are still single, looking for love and desperate to stretch their 15 seconds of fame out for as long as they possibly can. Those are the people who have ended up on "Bachelor Pad." Nineteen contestants have agreed to return to the stately "Bachelor" manor to compete for $250,000 in cash. Unlike previous seasons, the contestants share one bedroom full of bunk beds. Welcome to Camp "Bachelor Pad." Reese Witherspoon as Peggy Lee?It looks like Reese Witherspoon will need to warm up her pipes once again. The actress, who won an Oscar in 2005 for her portrayal of June Carter in “Walk the Line," is in talks to play the legendary singer and performer Peggy Lee, according to Variety. Lee rose to fame in the 1940’s, and went on to record a number of hit albums and songs, including “Is That All There Is?” Witherspoon is already on board as producer of the project, along with Marc Platt, whom the 34-year-old actress worked with on the “Legally Blonde” franchise. Witherspoon secured the rights to Lee’s story from her estate after meeting with Lee’s granddaughter. Nora Ephron, who is reportedly a fan of Lee's, will write the script and direct. Justin Bieber hit with water bottle during performanceJustin Bieber has clearly made Beliebers out of many, many people, but perhaps it wasn't always that way. When Bieber was performing at a concert in Sacramento in December, 2009, an errant water bottle came sailing through the air, hitting the 16-year-old star in the head, as shown in a video that was recently posted online. (Whoever threw that has a serious arm.) It’s unclear why the concert attendee felt the need to pelt the kid with a plastic container of water – did he look thirsty? – especially since Bieber, at the time, was expressing how his love for the fans gathered. Usher gives kids a 'New Look' on lifeR&B star Usher is well-known as a mentor to youth, not only for the kids he reaches through his New Look Foundation, but also for being an industry guide to one of the biggest names in the business, Justin Bieber. The 16-year-old pop phenomenon joined Usher in Atlanta Friday for the first annual World Leadership Awards, and noted that the 31-year-old star has been a role model on his road to success. “It’s amazing, you know, you gotta have a mentor—you gotta have someone to look up to, so you can better yourself,” Bieber said. “I’m glad to be here and support my mentor,” he added. |
