Along with a slew of stars from entertainment and media (Oprah, Kevin Spacey, Demi Moore), Sundance is teeming with prominent names from the world of politics. This year's festival brought out members of two political dynasties.

Environmental activist Robert Kennedy Jr. is the driving force behind "The Last Mountain," a Sundance documentary that attacks mining company practices in West Virginia. His sister Rory Kennedy is the producer of another Sundance documentary, "Bobby Fischer Against the World."

Not to be outdone, the Cuomos are making their presence known at Sundance, too. Maria Cuomo Cole, daughter of former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo and sister of current New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, produced the Sundance short documentary "Living for 32." The film powerfully recounts the experience of Colin Goddard, who was shot four times during the Virginia Tech massacre but managed to survive. FULL POST

Amy Chua's controversial motherhood memoir, "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother," may be getting the big-screen treatment.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the producers behind "The Joy Luck Club" hope to make a movie based on Chua's headline-making best-seller, in which she advocates traditional Chinese parenting methods—forced piano lessons, no television or sleepovers—that some say are extreme.

Ron Bass, who co-produced and co-wrote the screenplay for "The Joy Luck Club," believes "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" has all the makings of a blockbuster — or two.

Rumer Willis isn't the only daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis with showbiz aspirations. Her younger sister Scout recently showed off her vocal chops by recording a song with stepdad Ashton Kutcher.

In the video, which Kutcher posted on YouTube, the actor is seen strumming a guitar while 19-year-old Willis takes the lead on "My Sober," a song they co-wrote together.

Included in the lyrics: "You're my sober when I'm wasted/ You're my courage when I've got a doubt/You're my happy when I'm grumpy/You're my smile when I'm stuck with a pout."

It wasn't too long into Wednesday night's last semifinal round on "Live to Dance" before it was apparent which act would get the judges' vote to move forward.

The all-male troupe of Dance Town Chaos blew the roof off the place, aided by war paint and shiny gold flags and capes (same color as the stars they received from all three judges).

But before that happened it was announced that, despite the power of Bieber, the teen star's back-up dancer Jalen wouldn't be heading to the finals. Twitch, one of my favorites, won the audience vote.

As celebrities go, they don't get much bigger than Robert Redford, Oscar-winning filmmaker, actor and founder of the Sundance Film Festival.

But then there's Oprah Winfrey, who's in a class by herself. So what did Redford think when the queen of daytime talk came to his festival for the first time this year?

The 56-year-old talk show host came to Sundance to attend a party for her new OWN network, which has been busy scouting for product at the festival. Oprah's team snapped up the new documentary about Chaz Bono, Cher's son (who was born Chastity Bono) and they've been eyeing other films.

The Old Spice guy hasn’t thrown in the towel yet — he's just returned for a series of new ads!

In a video teaser for his upcoming campaign, former football player Isaiah Mustafa announces that he's ready to bring on another round of "educational" and "entertaining" commercials.

"Hello ladies — as well as men, mammals and beasts, and the mighty sequoias of the Redwood Forest. As you can see, I've returned. It's not because I forgot my jacket," says Mustafa, who appears shirtless and just out of the shower. "The real reason I'm back is because I've made a campaign of new advertisements to inform the people on this crazy blue marble that we call earth how they, or their man, can use Old Spice to smell as fresh as the freshest-smelling places on earth."

Sure, Kristen Stewart can hold her own against vampires and werewolves, but poison apples? We may soon find out, as rumors swirl that the "Twilight" actress is in talks to star in the upcoming thriller "Snow White and the Huntsman."

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Universal has screen tested up-and-comers such as Riley Keough ("The Runaways") and Emily Browning ("Sucker Punch") for the lead in the live-action fairy tale, but is keen on having Stewart, 20,  play the damsel in distress.

Though the studio is trying to woo Stewart, she's been shooting the last "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" film and has not yet committed to the project.

Meanwhile, Viggo Mortensen is reportedly in negotiations to play "Snow White's" titular huntsman, who is the focus of the movie and protects Snow White from the evil queen. Charlize Theron is currently the favorite to play that role.

Coincidentally, Julia Roberts is also set to play the evil queen in a rival film, "The Brothers Grimm: Snow White."

With an almost 30-year career in show business, you'd think Jon Cryer has heard it all. But when it comes to those news stories about his troubled "Two and a Half Men" co-star Charlie Sheen, even Cryer sometimes can't believe his ears.

"The stuff you hear is just unbelievable," he told talk-show host Conan O'Brien Wednesday. "I'm checking TMZ - as I do every day to see if I have to go to work at all - and there is a story: they found Charlie's car... at the bottom of a cliff. So you're thinking, 'Wow, sure hope Charlie's OK.'"

Cryer, 45, added that it can make for some awkward encounters on set.

The rest of the "Jersey Shore" gang may be pumping their fists at the thought of filming their next season in Italy, but Paul "DJ Pauly D" Delvecchio admits he's concerned about culture shock — especially when it comes to GTL.

"I'm nervous, I'm not gonna lie," Delvecchio, who has never visited the country, tells MTV. "I don't know what gyms are like over there, I don't know what tanning's like, I don't know the food, and the language — I don't even speak Italian. Maybe I should get a Rosetta Stone or something."

Delvecchio adds that he hopes the language barrier doesn't put a hitch in his game.
