I must admit that I really enjoyed Lady Gaga as a mentor tonight.

Sound advice and she pulled some great performances out of the contestants.

If Kim Cattrall brings to mind a certain "Sex and the City" siren with her new I Can't Believe It's Not Butter campaign, it's not exactly a coincidence.

"It has a wink and a nod to a character I'm known for, but in a slightly different set of circumstances," the actress formerly known as Samantha Jones tells Marquee.

Working with both a stylist and a director from her hit HBO series, Cattrall shot the commercials—titled "Mussels," "French Toast," "Dish" and "Naughty & Nice"—over the course of four days in Argentina ("The people were lovely; the wine was amazing!" she says). Clad in a slinky yellow robe by luxe French label Lanvin, the star is sexier than ever—though she insists that looking this good doesn't necessarily come easy.

As the youngest and most vocal member of her family, Tamar Braxton is rarely at a loss for words on WE's "Braxton Family Values."

The backup singer was left speechless, however, during a recent Vulture interview in which she learned that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon had named their twins Monroe and Moroccan, with the latter being a tribute to a room in their house.

"I mean, my mouth is dropped. Like, whaaat?" Braxton said after several moments of silence. "Maybe she named her daughter Monroe after Marilyn, because I know she loves her. And, oh my God, really, that's what she named them?"

A recent radio interview almost turned ugly when the host informed Oscar winner Hilary Swank that she isn't pretty.

Swank was chatting with Kim Masters of L.A.'s KCRW on Monday when the discussion turned to the lack of roles for older actresses in Hollywood.

“I'm still young enough that I haven't been feeling the brunt of that," Swank said. "Certainly, you hear about it … and you do see it, although you also see a lot more roles I think opening up for older women. I mean, Meryl Streep seems to be dominating."

"The Biggest Loser" star Jillian Michaels is about to make her baby dreams a reality. The tough trainer is in the process of adopting a child from the Congo.

"My dossier, which is your paperwork portfolio, is in to the Democratic Republic of the Congo," Michaels, who announced in December that she was leaving "The Biggest Loser" to focus on becoming a mom, tells Us Weekly.

"So the paperwork is done, and now it’s just a waiting game. It could be six months, twelve months; it could be two years. Or, it could be tomorrow! They call you and they say, 'Oh, we have your referral,' which is essentially the child they match you up with, and you go overseas and you get him or her."

Several cast members of the much-beloved series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" have weighed in on the upcoming Joss Whedon-less "Buffy" movie, and now Buffy herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar, has made her feelings known.

"It was a movie. It's been made. It stars Kristy Swanson. They don't need to make another one," she said in an interview with CNN on Tuesday. "I think it's a horrible idea! To try to do a 'Buffy' without Joss Whedon? To be incredibly non-eloquent, that's the dumbest idea I've ever heard!"

Gellar is planning to return to series television for the first time since 2003 in a pilot for CBS called "The Ringer."
