Courteney Cox on Botox: 'I hated it'


Courteney Cox admits to hating a Botox treatment! "I went to this doctor once and he was like, 'Oh, let me do it just here and here and here.' And I was miserable."

The 44-year-old actress tells Marie Claire that she has a love-hate relationship with the procedure. "Botox? I think it's fantastic and also horrible." She explains, "I mean, I'm an actor, I've got to be able to move my face. When people start messing with their foreheads and can't lift their eyebrow, that's weird. It's not that I haven't tried Botox- but I hated it."

She continues, "I mean, they've come up with this stuff that can make you not look angry. But you have to use it sparingly."

Children as prostitute?


Last Saturday I was watching Maalala mo Kaya a drama anthology in ABS-CBN. I was shock and curious that these things are happening in our society. A group of children who are engage in selling their body. I cannot believe a six, seven to ten years old are doing this things. What happen to our next generation? They were young, they are suppose to be in school and their parents are providing their needs. We have different views on these situation.
I pity those children who never got a chance to go to school to have education.

HBO Picks Up 'Entourage' For a Sixth Season


Fresh on the heels of its fifth season premiere last month, HBO's hit show "Entourage" has been picked up for a sixth season of more laughs and drama with the Hollywood gang of buddies.

The new season will begin production early next year, says Variety. And the entire Entourage is on the list!

One can only wonder what sticky situations Vincent Chase, Johnny "Drama" Chase, Eric Murphy, Turtle, and the feisty Ari Gold will find themselves in during the new season.

Angelina Jolie Plus Three in the Big Easy

The new mom of twins just made her first public appearance on the red carpet on Saturday to premiere her highly anticipated drama 'Changeling' at the New York Film Festival.

Misty May-Treanor Injured and Out of Show


The pressure is mounting and the drama just keeps coming on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars"! Week three found only nine contestants competing after Olympic volleyball champ Misty May-Treanor suffered a dramatic injury to her Achilles tendon, forcing her to drop out of the competition.

Coming out on crutches and bandages at the end of the show, Misty explained that she "heard a pop during the Lindy Hop" during her Friday rehearsal. "I felt like I got hit in the back with a baseball bat," she said, adding, "I ruptured my Achilles tendon." However, Misty ensured, "I am out, but I am not out for cheering the competitors." The athlete said she is going into surgery tomorrow and will be on the sidelines for some time.

The All-American Jive and the traditional Viennese Waltz were the dances du jour, and while some stars nailed their dances, others still found themselves finding their feet in the competition.

Wearing an ace bandage due to an ankle injury, Susan Lucci danced the jive with partner Tony Dovolani, but the judges, while acknowledging her injury, were disappointed with the soap queen's lack of confidence. "You seemed a bit timid," said judge Carrie Anne Inaba. "I want to see you much more courageous and a little more confident." She gave the couple a 7. "You looked a little unsteady with the steps," agreed Bruno Tonioli, "but I think you're going the right way." Another 7. "I think you have a kept a constant stand throughout," said Len Goodman. "You have done a very good job." Yet another 7, for a total of 21.

Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer broke out of the gate with the Viennese Waltz. Len has been tough on the former *NSYNC performer, and this week was no different: "Flat-footed, posture was poor," were his first comments off the bat; still, he noticed improvement and offered up a 7. "It lacked the freedom you usually have," said Bruno. "I'd like to see the sparkle you two had last week." He gave another 7. But Carrie proclaimed, "I thought it was fantastic; great moves," and gave the couple an 8, for a total of 22.

Star sprinter Maurice Greene and Cheryl Burke danced the jive and received their best score by far in their first dance of the night: 24. "You're kind of like a wild, untamed beast," said Carrie. "It's nice to see you as a contender." "Great choreography; I thought that was your best dance," offered Len. And Bruno said, "You can rock when you want to. Well done." All three judges delivered a score of 8.

Chef Rocco DiSpirito and Karina Smirnoff danced their waltz to the strains of "What's New Pussycat," putting Len in the spirit as well. "Overall I thought it was a pretty good job," he said: a score of 7. "I think you are the most improved of all the dancers," said Carrie Anne with a 7. But Bruno was not pleased, calling their effort "a bit of a lump of mashed potatoes" and adding, "You've got to break out of the bad habits." He gave them a 6 for a total score of 20.

Superbowl champ Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson glided on the dance floor with their waltz, and the judges swooned: "I think I have a crush on you. I was blown away," said Carrie Anne. "Big, smooth and beautiful. You just get it," said Bruno. While Len said, "I thought this dance [would be] your stumbling block, but you're giving those skinny people [a run for their money]." With scores of 9, 8 and 8 for a total of 25, they earned their best score yet.

"Hannah Montana" star Cody Linley and Julianne Hough shucked with the jive, but while they started off strong, the judges agreed that they had a weak finish. Len said it "got repetitious" and gave a 7. Carrie Anne said their "energy was high," but was a bit put off by Cody's step-counting and gave them a 7. Bruno admonished, "You've got the talent -- use it." With another 7, the pair earned a respectable 21.

Grammy winner Toni Braxton and pro partner Alec Mazo rocked the Viennese Waltz with heavy period costumes -- and electric guitar. But their gambit failed to pay off with two of the judges. "This I didn't enjoy much," said a cranky Len. "You don't need gimmicks and things; you're a good dancer." He gave them a 7. "You don't need to overproduce," agreed Bruno. "You've got it all; just show it." Another 7. But Carrie Anne liked it, and responded, "I got it. It becomes a matter of taste when you go this far," reminding the audience that they tapped into the scandal of the original Viennese Waltz. She served up an 8, for a total score of 22.

Oscar winner Cloris Leachman and Corky Ballas injected some silly energy into the evening when they got extremely goofy with the jive -- to huge applause. "To call this wacky would be the understatement of the year," said Bruno. "It is beyond comprehension. That's all I have to say." Carrie agreed: "I definitely asked for Crazy Cloris, and [that's what I got]. They were completely off their rockers. What you lacked in technique you made up in charisma." Len pointed out that they actually got some of the steps in their crazy routine before Cloris' removed wig took center stage. Crazy! Not surprising, the smiling couple earned a low score of 16.

Despite a few behind-the-scenes fireworks, Brooke Burke and Derek Hough have scored highest with the judges so far, and tonight was no different. Dancing the Viennese Waltz to the soothing strains of John Mayer's "Daughters," the couple effortlessly performed on the dance floor, ending with a kiss from Brooke for her own daughter in the audience. "You are quickly becoming my favorite dancer," said Carrie Anne. "It's a pleasure to watch you." Len enthused, "Simply the best dance of this season so far." And Bruno raved, "Dazzlingly beautiful. It just comes out of your body in such a natural way. Beautiful choreography." Brooke and Derek earned the first 10 of the season -- from Len, no less -- and with a 9 from the other judges, 28 was the score to beat for the night.

Box Office: 'Chihuahua' Knocks 'Eagle' Out of No. 1


Walt Disney's canine comedy 'Beverly Hills Chihuahua' took the No. 1 spot at the U.S. box office with an estimated $29 million, pushing Shia LaBeouf's 'Eagle Eye' to the second spot, studio estimates showed.

The film about a ritzy Beverly Hills Chihuahua who finds herself lost while on vacation in Mexico and seeks help to return home stars Drew Barrymore, Jamie Lee Curtis, Andy Garcia and George Lopez.

The Paramount-Dreamworks collaboration 'Eagle Eye,' starring Michelle Monaghan and Billy Bob Thornton, took in an estimated $17.7 million for the weekend and has made $54.6 million overall. The movie is the story of two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met.

Debuting at No. 3 with an estimated $12 million was 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist,' a dramedy by Sony's Screen Gems about about two people thrust together for one hilarious, sleepless night of adventure in a world of mix tapes, late-night living, and live, loud music. The film stars Michael Cera and Kat Dennings.

Taking the fourth spot, with $7.4 million, was Warner Bros' 'Nights in Rodanthe,' starring Richard Gere as a doctor who travels to see his estranged son and ends up beginning a life-changing romance with an unhappily married woman (Diane Lane) at a North Carolina inn.

Michael Douglas to Receive AFI's Highest Honor



Following in the footsteps of his famous father, Michael Douglas is the next film star set to be presented with the Life Achievement Award by the American Film Institute.

The award will be presented to Michael in Los Angeles on June 11, says Variety.

Michael's father, Kirk Douglas, received the award in 1991.

"I am honored and overwhelmed to be included in such a prestigious group of filmmakers. I am particularly moved to be following my father 18 years later," Michael told Variety.

"Michael Douglas is the rightful heir to the throne of the royal family of American film," said Howard Stringer, chair of the AFI board. "Though he is most beloved as one of the great leading men of the movies, Michael is also a most accomplished film producer and, ultimately, an artist whose films have been elevated in the pantheon of American film."

Michael won an Academy Award for acting in 'Wall Street,' and was a producer of the multiple Oscar-winning 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.'

The acting powerhouse's next film project, 'Beyond a Reasonable Doubt,' is set for release in 2009.

Anne Hathaway Jokes About Ex's Troubles on 'SNL'


Anne Hathaway, who just recently began addressing her ex boyfriend's legal troubles, dealt with the issue head-on last night by making jokes about the situation while hosting "Saturday Night Live."

In her opening monologue, Hathaway joked that during the summer, "I broke up with my boyfriend... and two weeks later he was sent to prison for fraud."

The star of the just released 'Rachel Getting Married' again got big laughs by adding, "I mean, we've all been there, right ladies?"

Hathaway, 25, continued by stating that the "experience made me feel pretty gullible, and I was ready to swear off dating, but then I found an amazing new guy." She explains that the new guy is a Nigerian prince who just happened to send her an e-mail and ask for her social security number.

"How sweet is that?" she said, adding that for their one-month anniversary gift, she sent him a CD and $100,000. "I feel pretty good about us," she joked.

Last month, Hathaway's ex Raffaello Follieri plead guilty to one count of conspiring to commit wire fraud, eight counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering in connection with an alleged fraudulent real estate investment scheme.

Janet Jackson Postpones 3 More Shows Due to Illness


Janet Jackson has delayed three more shows because of an undisclosed illness, the Associated Press reports.

Jackson postponed a scheduled concert on Saturday in Greensboro, NC, as well as one Sunday in Atlanta and a third Tuesday in Fort Lauderdale, her publicist said in an e-mail to the news agency late Saturday.

Is it Right?


Yesterday, there was a heavy rainfall in the entire city. As usual, there are water all over our house. As I pray the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy and the Rosary I noticed, that our neighbor his multi cab was stuck in the water. I ran outside our house to check on Him.

A muzzled, teary-eyed, and jaw-bound Jessica Alba appears in a provocative and compelling new ad campaign encouraging young adults to get active in the upcoming presidential election.

The striking ad is for "Declare Yourself," a non-partisan, non-profit national voting initiative aimed to get young voters to register and vote in the 2008 presidential race. The ad bears the slogan: "Only You Can Silence Yourself."

"These images, while incredibly unsettling, are extremely compelling to today's young adults," said Marc Morgenstern, Declare Yourself Executive Director. "With less than 40 days left until the national election, we deliberately chose vivid and startling imagery to break through and underscore the grave consequences of not voting and in effect muzzling oneself."

Rosie O'Donnell to Host Variety Special

SAG Seeking Authorization to Vote on Strike


Film and TV actors raised the stakes while negotiating with Hollywood's major studios Wednesday, by prompting negotiators to seek backing for a vote by guild members for a potential strike.

The vote request came after labor talks were stalled between negotiators and producers, says Reuters. Screen Actors Guild negotiators passed the resolution looking to get an OK from SAG's national board to conduct a vote about a potential work stoppage. SAG is the largest union for U.S. actors, with about 120,000 members.

SAG released the committee's passed resolution late Wednesday, but said it would not comment further on it.

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents the film studios, released this statement to ET:

"Is this really the time for anyone associated with the entertainment business to be talking about going on strike? Not only is the business suffering from recent economic conditions, but if ever there was a time when Americans wanted the diversions of movies and television, it is now. The DGA, WGA and AFTRA reached agreement on comparable terms months ago, during far better economic times, and it is unrealistic for SAG negotiators now to expect even better terms during this grim financial climate. This is the harsh economic reality, and no strike will change that reality."

SAG said the vote authorization was "necessary to overcome the employers' intransigence," Reuters reports.

Although a strike authorization vote would not determine a work halt, it could give the unions an edge in the negotiations.

The labor talks come on the heels of the Writers Guild of America strike that significantly impacted the entertainment industry in 2007-2008, and which also cost the economy an estimated $3 billion, says Reuters.

Their songs were amazing. They will be our future sensation when it comes to singing.

If Kevin Costner Sings It, They Will Come


Kevin Costner doesn't just make movies about baseball, he writes songs about it too!

The actor recently penned a new song called "It's All Up To You" as a salute to the 2008 American League East Division champion Rays.

His band, Modern West, recorded the song just last week in honor of the young squad.

"I ran into Joe up in Toronto [earlier this season]," Costner told MLB.com. "And said you guys need a war song ... something you can play in the locker room after you win and get that group feeling."

"I felt in the back of my head this could work for them," he added. "Lyrically, we added some lines that metaphorically are where they are at."

Leonardo DiCaprio is ready for Marriage and Kids!


Leonardo DiCaprio blames his youth for his cynical remarks toward love and marriage. When asked about comments made against the institution of marriage and "never being in love," Leo told Parade magazine, "It sounds like the ignorance of youth to me. When did I say that? Three or four years ago? Hey, we grow up real fast."

Now, the 'Body of Lies' star says he's ready for matrimony and even some kids of his own!

"Just last night I was thinking to myself how little of my life has been lived normally and not spent on some far-off movie location. I want to get married and have children."

Leo follows this up with, "In saying that, I realize I am contradicting everything I've said before. I absolutely believe in marriage."

Leo is currently in a relationship with on-again, off-again girlfriend and Israeli model Bar Refaeli.

Sienna Miller Sues UK Tab, Wins Over $26,000


Sienna Miller has won over $26,000 in damages in a settlement over a paparazzi photo published in the Daily Star, the BBC reports.

Kim Kardashian Eliminated from 'Dancing with the Stars'


Their rumba lacked thunder! America sent Kim Kardashian and Mark Ballas packing on Tuesday night's "Dancing with the Stars" results show.

With her parting words, Kim paid homage to her father, Robert Kardashian, who passed away five years ago. She said she felt like she'd made him proud. And Mark praised his father, too, saying he was glad pops Corky Ballas was still in the running after narrowly escaping elimination with partner Cloris Leachman in the bottom two.

It's a rock history first! Billy and the Boss together in concert -- all to benefit Barack Obama's presidential campaign.

The epic team-up is set for Oct. 16 at NYC's Hammerstein Ballroom, and Obama will be there rocking out to Joel and Springsteen's endless hits with the rest of the crowd, says the Associated Press.

Which begs the question: How much does it cost to see this legendary pairing? According to the AP, tickets run between $500 and $10,000. Pricey, but then, it's perhaps the only chance you'll ever get to play air guitar to "Big Shot" and "Born in the USA" live on the same night.

Springsteen is also slated to perform this Saturday at an Obama rally in Philadelphia.

Jack Black Teams Up With 'Panda' Writers for New Film


After bringing you the wildly successful 'Kung Fu Panda,' Jack Black and the 'Panda' writers are gearing up to make movie magic again!

The hit-making collaboration, which includes writers Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, is set to work on an action comedy starring Black, who will play an American who washes up on the shores of Cuba without a clue about his identity or why he is there, says the Hollywood Reporter.

The project, which was picked up by Universal, is still untitled.
