Alec Baldwin goes long for 'Rock of Ages'Alec Baldwin has gone blond for “Rock of Ages.” The 53-year-old actor, who recently joined Twitter, is seen rocking a lighter – and much longer – hairstyle in a still from the upcoming “Rock of Ages” film. Director Adam Shankman, who’s been posting updates of the film’s progress from his Twitter account, revealed the photo on Tuesday. “First look! World premiere! Russell and Alec making my life heaven on #rockofagesmovie,” he wrote. 'Hangover' writer in talks for a three-quelThere's been much chatter about a potential “Hangover III," such as the idea that the Wolf Pack may end up in Amsterdam or Todd Phillips may eschew his forgotten night “blueprint." But after that record-setting open from the "Hangover II," Warner Bros. seems to be revving up for a third installment, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The comedy, starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, collected more than $200 million worldwide over Memorial Day weekend, breaking records for a comedy open in North America. It would make sense, then, if Warner Bros. wanted to get to work on another one. Although the studio didn't officially comment on its intent to go gung-ho with a third “Hangover,” it seems Craig Mazin, the writer of “Part II” is in early talks to work on the third installment. According to THR, a source at Warner Bros. said “Hangover III” is “all but a given.” Jessica Biel most significant person in J.T.'s lifeTheir relationship may have come to an end, but that doesn't mean Justin Timberlake doesn't hold a little love for his former girlfriend Jessica Biel. The actors said in a statement back in March that they remain friends despite their break-up and "continue to hold the highest level of love and respect for each other," sentiments Timberlake echoed in a new interview with Vanity Fair. “She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life," he says of Biel. "In my 30 years, she is the most special person, O.K.?” Timberlake stops himself from saying more, “because I have to protect things that are dear to me—for instance, her.” 'Showbiz Tonight' Flashpoint: Can Paris Hilton transform herself?Paris Hilton, whose new reality show “The World According to Paris” premieres tonight on the Oxygen Network, stopped by CNN Studios in Los Angeles with her mother Kathy to chat it up with CNN’s Piers Morgan. Paris dished about a lot: her future, her love life, her brand (she makes $10 million a year from it) and yes, that sex tape she did 10 years ago that made her, well, famous! Hilton says she really has learned from her mistakes and that her new reality show will clear up the “many misconceptions” people have about her. Sons of 'Housewives' star get a web spin-off"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" has given birth to a new show. "Boys to Manzo" will follow the lives of Chris and Albie Manzo on BravoTV.com. The pair are sons of "RHONJ" cast member Caroline Manzo and have appeared on the show. According to the New York Post, "The seven-episode series was shot in Hoboken and will focus on the guys' life in their fancy waterfront bachelor pad (complete with terrace overlooking the Hudson)." Thus far, viewers of the show have seen the brothers move out of their parents' New Jersey mansion. They embarked to live on their own after Albie wasn't asked back to law school and Chris announced he was leaving the family business, a banquet facility called The Brownstone in Paterson, New Jersey. Italian authorities revoke Snooki's driver's licenseIt turns out Snooki's cop car run-in came with consequences. Following her fender bender with an Italian traffic patrol car on Monday, Italian authorities have revoked her international driver’s license, an MTV spokesperson tells CNN. The 23-year-old, who’s currently filming MTV’s “Jersey Shore” in the country along with the rest of the reality show cast, was attempting to drive around Florence in a Fiat Multipla with "Shore" star Deena Cortese when she got into a minor car accident with a police vehicle. The cruiser, funnily enough, was an escort appointed for the cast's security, according to People. 'The Voice' snags post-Super Bowl spot"The Voice" has something new to sing about. The NBC breakout hit singing competition scored a prime-time scheduling coup with the announcement that a special hour-long episode will be shown following Super Bowl XLVI in February. “There is no better showcase on television than to follow the Super Bowl, and we believe ‘The Voice’ is deserving of such high-profile exposure,” Chairman of NBC Entertainment, Bob Greenblatt, said in a statement. “The attention grabbing blind audition phase of ‘The Voice’ has mass appeal and will fittingly team up with the biggest sporting event of the year.” That could mean millions of new eyes on the new series. The show features singers Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton as celebrity mentors who compete along with the contestants to find a new singer who will be dubbed "The Voice." Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' sells 1.1 millionWithin a week, Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” has gone platinum. The 25-year-old’s anticipated record has debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, selling 1,108,000 albums in the first week, Billboard reports. This isn’t truly a surprise, as “Born This Way” was expected to enter at No. 1, but just a month ago the singer’s record label was expecting sales to be around 400,000. On the album's May 23 release date – the same day that Amazon was offering the album for 99 cents – that estimate was bumped up to somewhere between 650,000 and 700,000. Blake Lively: Those nude pics are fakePhotos claiming to be of a naked Blake Lively spread across the Web Tuesday, but a rep for the actress says they’re not really her. According to Us Weekly, the images show a blonde woman taking photos of herself in the buff, but the 23-year-old “Gossip Girl” star’s rep says Lively hasn’t done such a thing. "The photos of Blake Lively which have just surfaced on various websites including Perez Hilton and Zap2it are 100 percent fake," her rep tells Us. “Blake has never taken nude photos of herself.” |
