The Daily Mail reports that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s teenage son Connor Cruise has taken up spinning tunes as DJ C-Squared.

The 16-year-old is even getting professional gigs. Connor most recently showed off his skills at the XBOX Miracle Of Music Benefit held in honor of the 2011 American Music Awards this past Saturday.

DJ C-Squared wore a hoodie and giant gold medallion to the Kevin Jonas-hosted event, and donned a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle beanie during his set, the U.K. paper reports.

TMZ reports that legendary entertainer Liza Minnelli is wheelchair-bound after breaking her leg in three places.

“I tripped over my dog,” the 65-year-old explained to the outlet while being pushed around New York City. “I busted my leg in three places!”

Minnelli says she blames her pet pooch, but the singer still has a sense of humor about the accident: “Of all the things I’ve done, I break my leg tripping over my dog.”

• Questlove of The Roots tipped off his Twitter followers to pay close attention to the song the band played as Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann dropped by "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" on Monday, and according to reports, it turned out to be Fishbone's "Lyin' A-s B-–." Host Fallon has since tweeted that Questlove is "grounded." In a statement to ABC News, Questlove says, "The performance was a tongue-in-cheek and spur of the moment decision. The show was not aware of it and I feel bad if her feelings were hurt. That was not my intention." [Questlove's Twitter/Jimmy Fallon's Twitter/ABC News]

Tonight's episode of "NCIS" might get a bit awkward.

According to MSNBC, actor Robert Wagner plays Anthony DiNozzo, Sr., who will be a murder suspect on the new episode, "Sins of the Father."

This episode is airing just days following the decision by Los Angeles authorities to re-open their investigation into the 1981 death of Wagner's wife, Natalie Wood. Police said Friday that Wagner is not a suspect in the new probe into Wood's drowning, but his "NCIS" character will be under police scrutiny.

Wagner has appeared on the series before as the father of special agent Anthony DiNozzo, and tonight Wagner's character is expected to be led away in handcuffs.

The new episode of "NCIS" airs at 8 p.m. on CBS.

Andy Cohen's “Watch What Happens: Live” is getting promoted. The New York Times reports that the successful Bravo talk show will air five nights a week beginning in January.

Currently, the late-night show runs new episodes on Sundays and Mondays, but with its new schedule, “Watch What Happens: Live” will air Sunday through Thursday at 11 p.m.

Empire magazine has some new details on the upcoming "The Dark Knight Rises" in its latest issue, which also features two covers: one of Batman, and the other of Bane.

Director Christopher Nolan reveals to the magazine that a lot of time has passed in between the conclusion of 2008's "The Dark Knight" and the starting point for 2012's "Rises."

"It's really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne's story. We left him in a very precarious place," Nolan tells Empire. "Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after 'The Dark Knight.' So he's an older Bruce Wayne; he's not in a great state."

As industry observers ponder whether this summer's hit "Bridesmaids" will pick up an Oscar nod or two thanks to its stars, producer Judd Apatow is arguing that its time for the Academy to have a comedy category.

At a forum hosted by the Los Angeles Times, Apatow (also behind comedies "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," "Superbad," "Knocked Up" and "The 40 Year Old Virgin") talked more about a tweet he sent out last week, in which he remarked that "since comedies are rarely up for Oscars it does make sense to have a comedy category. It would just add more fun categories."

He expounded on the idea for the L.A. Times, saying, "I was commenting that there should be a comedy category at the Oscars, because, why not?

When ABC announced that it was scheduling a new game show for primetime this month, I cringed.

The network's recent track record with game shows has been pretty bad - ABC shuffling off "Million Dollar Mind Game" to Sunday afternoons opposite football and food processor infomercials is beyond mind-boggling - but I'm willing to give them another shot at the genre.

"You Deserve It" is the Alphabet's latest attempt to find a winning game show since "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" dominated the ratings more than a decade ago. It's a noble concept - a quality format mixed in with the feel-good stories ABC has capitalized on with "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" and "Secret Millionaire." But the end result comes off as a bit muddled.

AMC is airing "The Godfather" and "The Godfather: Part II" on Thanksgiving, but if Francis Ford Coppola had his way, there wouldn't be enough material for a marathon.

The filmmaker, who won an Oscar with 1974's sequel to the critically acclaimed "The Godfather," sounded pretty resolute when he told TMZ that he wouldn't pick up the Corleone storyline for another film.

In fact, he goes on, "There should've only been one" movie to begin with. Harsh words for fans of the film series, although we think there are those who could live without 1990's "The Godfather: Part III."

In the meantime, there's also a prequel novel to Mario Puzo's 1969 best-seller, "The Godfather."

Last night's "Dancing With the Stars" consisted of three couples, each performing two dances, all for one Mirrorball Trophy. (And if nothing is solved by tonight's finale, we'll settle it via a rock-paper-scissors battle.)

The first round of dancing begins with Ricki Lake performing a cha-cha. She gets help at practice from Carrie Ann Inaba, although I feared "help" would consist of Carrie Ann talking about happy trees and other nonsense for 30 minutes.

Honestly, the dancers could be motivated with the promise of Carrie Ann not talking.
