'Idol' Top 11 will lose 2 tonight

It's a big night tonight on "American Idol."

Not one, but two contestants will head home, since the judges used their save last week to keep Casey Abrams.

Who, oh who will it be? Was Casey saved only to be sent packing this week? Has time run out for Naima, who is a stronger performer than she is a singer? Was Haley's close-out performance Wednesday night strong enough to keep her around?

Betty White to host senior citizen prank show

NBC and Betty White are together again. The network that hosted "Golden Girls" for seven seasons has given White's new hidden-camera reality show the green light.

The 89-year-old actress will host and executive produce the 12-episode series, which is being called "Betty White's Off Their Rockers," but that's a working title. The show is based on an award-winning European program called “Benidorm Bastards" that was originally produced in Belgium.

According to a statement, “Betty White's Off Their Rockers” will follow “a band of seven senior citizens who make it their mission to play pranks on unsuspecting younger people."

Khloe Kardashian talks body image in Cosmo Middle East

Her physique has become her trademark, but even Kim Kardashian has her body issues — or so claims kid sister Khloe in the new issue of Cosmopolitan Middle East.

"Kim, who I think is flawless, is always complaining," Khloe tells the magazine. "She complains about cellulite and I tell her, 'I'll trade your cellulite for my love handles.'"

And while Khloe says she can take the criticism that comes with the media focusing on her weight, she admits that sometimes it does bring her down.

Justin Bieber eyes R-rated comedy

After his dramatic turn as a troubled teen on "CSI," Justin Bieber is looking to lighten up by starring in a new comedy with Ashton Kutcher.

According to the L.A. Times, the singer is planning to star in "What Would Kenny Do?",  a story about a 17-year-old who encounters a hologram of a man (Kutcher) who claims to be a 30-something version of him. The hologram then helps the boy navigate the turbulent waters of high school.

But Beliebers beware: The adult-humored film — which is expected to shoot next year — is currently aiming for an R rating.

Katie Holmes explains Suri's X-rated candy

Katie Holmes got more than she bargained for when she visited a Big Apple ice-cream parlor with 4-year-old daughter Suri. The actress tells talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres that what started as an innocent mommy-and-me day out ended up an X-rated adventure.

"Recently, I took her to get ice cream in New York at this place called Serendipity that we go to all the time. It’s for kids. The clientele is children," Holmes says on Friday's episode of the "Ellen DeGeneres Show." "We go in and we are waiting for a table and she grabs some gummies that are boy-part gummies. I was horrified."

Boy-part gummmies?

'Millionaire Matchmaker': JT should date Jen Aniston

Now that Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake have split, "Millionaire Matchmaker" Patti Stanger is ready to come to the rescue. The Bravo star tells CNN she would love to find new mates for them and believes a certain "Friend" would be the ideal girlfriend for Timberlake.

"I saw on the cover of Us Weekly what [Jessica] is going through and it’s so embarrassing," Stanger said at the Bravo UpFronts yesterday. "I’d like to mend her broken heart, if she’s broken.”

As for supposed serial flirt Timberlake, Stanger doesn't believe the rumors that he's romancing Mila Kunis, and said, "He needs to take a dating break. I love him; don’t get me wrong. He’s had so many hot women that how do you keep trading up? Maybe he needs an older woman. Maybe a Jennifer Aniston. Maybe he needs to go back to the days when he was dating the Camerons of the world—because I don’t think Jennifer would have taken that crap."
