David Blaine Successfully Hangs-Out at Latest Stunt


Record-breaking magician, showman and daredevil David Blaine is hanging tough and working his magic yet again!

Without a safety net, David successfully hung upside down above New York City's Central Park for 60 hours.

After completing the stunt which he began on Monday, the magician dove to the ground 44-feet below -- while strapped to a harness, of course.

David said the experience made him feel like his head was "about to explode" because of the "enormous push of blood" to his head.

His Wednesday night ABC special, "David Blaine: Dive of Death," also showed the boundary-pushing magician holding a metal cup in his mouth that he used to catch a .22-caliber bullet in.

Wedding Bells for Former 'Bachelorette'


Jen Schefft, former star of "The Bachelorette," is engaged, according to People magazine.

Jen isn't tying the knot with anyone she met through the show -- she actually met her future hubby in a random twist of fate -- she was set up with him on a blind date by another man she'd gone on an (unsuccessful) blind date with!

Jen, 32, has been dating fiancé Joe Waterman since February, and tells People, "I guess it's true things move fast when you meet the right person." The couple is planning an intimate wedding in Chicago in 2009.

After being proposed to by Andrew Firestone in season three of "The Bachelor," but later ending that relationship, Jen became the third star of "The Bachelorette." Wedding bells recently rang for Firestone -- he married wife Ivana over the summer and they're expecting their first child in 2009.

Justin Timberlake Goes for a Hole-In-One


Justin Timberlake is the new face of golf! The musician will be on the November issue of Golf Digest in addition to hosting the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas from October 13-19 -- which will air on the Golf Channel!

In Golf Digest, Timberlake talks about his love of the game and how it connects him with friends and family. His parents are renovating a golf course in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee that is set to reopen in July 2009.

"For me, golf is one of those things where you go out and forget about everything else" Timberlake says.

Justin says his music has influenced his golf swing! "(I'm) self-taught. I'd watch Tiger [Woods] and Ernie Els on TV and try to learn from what they did, but obviously I related music to it. The golf swing is very, very rhythmic. There's a certain tempo to it, just like in music."

See Justin's entire interview in Golf Digest when it hits newsstands October 7.

Bruce Willis to Step Behind the Camera for 'Stories'


Actor Bruce Willis is set to make his directorial debut later this year with the psychological thriller 'Three Stories About Joan,' Variety reports.

Willis will also have a supporting role in the indie flick, which also stars Camilla Belle and Kieran Culkin, the trade magazine says.

The story focuses on a young woman (Belle) at three different stages in her life and the various family tragedies that cause her to lose a grip on reality.

Clay Aiken Reveals He's Gay


"It was the first decision I made as a father," Clay Aiken says about coming out as a gay man in the new issue of People. "I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that."

Clay makes the revelation in the next edition of the magazine, which hits stands this Friday. He will be pictured with his newborn son, Parker, and talk about the importance of being truthful regarding his sexuality.

"Whether it be having a child out of wedlock, or whether it be simply being a homosexual, it's going to be a lot," he says regarding the reactions of his fans. Still, he says his fans "know that I've never intended to lie to anybody at all. ... But if they leave, I don't want them to leave hating me."

The singer also reveals that he told his mom about four years ago, after an emotional parting with his brother who was shipping off to Iraq.

"I started crying in the car," he says. "It was dark. I was sitting there, thinking to myself. I don't know why I started thinking about it ... I just started bawling. She made me pull over the car and it just came out."

His mom "started crying. She was obviously somewhat stunned. But she was very supportive and very comforting." Even now, Clay admits, "She still struggles with things quite a bit, but she's come a long way."

He is scheduled to appear in an already-taped interview about his headline-grabbing revelation with ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer, to be shown on "Good Morning America" starting on Thursday.

Clay, who has long deflected questions about his sexuality, recently welcomed his infant son with his longtime female friend Jaymes Foster. The baby was conceived via in-vitro fertilization and was born in August.

Richard Gere & Diane Lane Premiere 'Nights in Rodanthe'


Richard Gere and Diane Lane reunite for the romantic love story 'Nights in Rodanthe,' and the onscreen couple came out in New York City Tuesday night to premiere their new movie!

"I think everybody's going to have a good cry tonight," joked Richard, who arrived with wife Carey Lowell on his arm. As for working with Diane again, he explained, "There's a shorthand of how to work. We trust each other. It's very comforting."

"I adore him and he's such a perfect leading man in every way," said Diane, adding of the project, "We held hands together then we jumped in together."

Diane came solo, but didn't hide her excitement about hubby Josh Brolin's turn as George W. Bush in the upcoming Oliver Stone biopic 'W.'

"I can't wait to see the movie!" she lit up. "I'm so excited. I'm all atwitter."

In theaters Friday, Gere and Lane put their chemistry to the test a third time with 'Rodanthe' (first co-starring in 'The Cotton Club' in 1984 and then 18 years later in 'Unfaithful'), the story of a married mother (Lane) who travels to a tiny North Carolina coastal town to escape her personal demons. Tending to a friend's inn for the weekend, she finds herself weathering a major storm with an enticing doctor (Gere) -- and igniting a romance that could change their lives forever.

Nicole Kidman Says 'Fertility Waters' Helped Get Her Pregnant


Nicole Kidman made headlines when she and her husband Keith Urban welcomed their daughter, Sunday Rose, to the world in July, and now Kidman's revealing the details on how she thinks she got pregnant!

The Oscar winning actress tells The Australian Women's Weekly that she believes she conceived last year after swimming in "fertility waters" in the Aussie Outback during production of her epic romance 'Australia,' says the Associated Press.

Kidman, 41, says she was one of seven women who became pregnant after a swim in the waters.

"I never thought that I would get pregnant and give birth to a child, but it happened on this movie," Kidman told the magazine in its 75th anniversary edition.

She went on to say, "There is something up there in the Kununurra water because we all went swimming in the waterfalls, so we can call it the fertility waters now."

In the interview, Kidman calls her labor and her baby "very good."

'Australia' is due for release on Nov. 26.

Ellen DeGeneres Speaks Out Against Anti-Gay Marriage Proposition


After her recent high-profile marriage to her longtime love Portia de Rossi, Ellen DeGeneres is blogging against a proposition looking to constitutionally ban same-sex marriages in California.

The talk-show host, always the comedienne, took a firm stance against Proposition 8 on her blog -- but not without a little humor.

Here's some of what Ellen had to say:

'The wording of Prop 8 is tricky. It's like if someone asked you, 'You don't want dessert, right?' But you do want dessert so you say, 'Yes,' which really means you don't want dessert. And if you say, 'No,' which means you do want dessert -- it sounds like you don't. Either way, you don't get what you want. See -- confusing. Just like Prop. 8.

So, in case I haven't made myself clear, I'm FOR gay marriage. And in order to protect that right -- please VOTE NO on Proposition 8. And now that you're informed, spread the word. I'm begging you. I can't return the wedding gifts -- I love my new toaster."

Other Hollywood heavyweights who have spoken out against the proposition include actor Brad Pitt and film icon Steven Spielberg, who each donated $100,000 to the "No on 8" campaign.

'Dancing with the Stars'' First to Go!


America has spoken and Jeff Ross and his professional partner Edyta Sliwinska were the first couple to exit the seventh season of "Dancing with the Stars."

"I would have to say that I am more ha ha ha than cha cha cha," Jeff joked on learning he had the lowest combined score between the judges and the popular votes.

Still wearing his eye patch from an injury on Monday when Edyta accidentally poked him in the eye, Jeff displayed more of the humor for which he is famous, saying "They told me that Edyta was going to be easy on the eyes. I figured, for sure, it would be her husband who poked me in the eye not her."

But Jeff has no regrets about his short time on the hit ABC series, adding, "This is the most fun I have ever had. If I can do it, you can, too."

'Dancing with the Stars' Recap


On Tuesday night's "Dancing with the Stars," the newest crop of 13 contestants continued the competition for the disco-ball trophy, but one of them was sent packing after just one dance: Jeff Ross and his professional partner Edyta Sliwinska learned that they had the lowest combined total of points from viewers and the judges.

That left 12 couples to compete. The first couple to learn they were safe was Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer, who danced the quickstep. Head judge Len Goodman commented, "It is not how you get to the finish, it is what you do during it. I didn't like your posture or your hold. I can understand people enjoying it, but it wasn't my cup of tea." Bruno disagreed, saying, "For me, you two have an incredible quality. You bring a fresh take. You have timing and a dynamic performance. I liked it." Carrie Ann gave them a mixed review: "I was very much entertained, but I wasn't impressed. I thought it was creatively great, but you didn't give me the elegance I want to see in ballroom dancing. Lance and Lacey rated a 21.

Next up were Misty May-Treanor and Maksim Chmerkovskiy dancing the mambo. Carrie Ann was impressed by Misty, saying, "Your strong, sharp attack totally worked in this dance. It was much better than last night. It was fierce." Len told her, "I was so surprised that a person from sports can come out and perform like that. I thought it was very brave. Your hips were working well!" Bruno agreed, adding, "You have the power and attack of a task force. I really appreciate you because you work really hard. You are going to be a winner." The couple scored a 21.

Dancing third -- and safe from elimination -- were Maurice Greene and Cheryl Burke. Bruno labeled them "dynamic, energetic and exuberant." Then he added, "It strayed a little bit from the mambo. It was like being at a party and I like parties." Carrie Ann said, "Tonight, I thought your transitions were very smooth. What I love about you is the music pumps through your body." Len pointed out, "Learning one dance to start 'DWTS' is difficult; learning two dances is almost impossible. I think there is more to come." The judges awarded them 21 points.

Brooke Burke and Derek Hough followed with an impressive quickstep. Len said, "Last night when you danced the cha cha cha, I said it was the best dance of the night. I don't like to repeat myself, but best dance so far." Bruno agreed, saying, "On week one, I am seeing this style of dancing. This is pure Hollywood. I can't believe it." Carrie Ann asked, "What can I say after that? You are nothing but grace, strength, beauty and class. Last night was great, but this was fantastic." Brooke and Derek were the top scorers of the night with 26 points.

Also safe were Cloris Leachman and Corky Ballas who danced the mambo. Carrie Ann commented, "Golden girl can shimmy. I believe entertainment is hugely important, so I give you points for entertaining this crowd." Len added, "Last night, I saw your coconuts. You can shake them. A word about Corky: I think you have done a fantastic job." Bruno joked, "I have done these shows all over the world and never seen a mambo like this. And I don't think I will ever see it again. But if you come back, I want more sizzle next week." Cloris and Corky earned their second 16.

Also making it through to perform a quickstep were Toni Braxton, who has heart disease, and her professional partner Alec Mazo. Bruno complimented them on being "light, sparkling and elegant -- all the qualities of a fine champagne." Carrie Ann revealed, "You scared me a little, you had this look in your eyes, as if you weren't ready, but you did really well. You have a natural movement and your chemistry together is good." Len told them, "Beautiful movement across the floor. [There were a few problems], but it was a very, very good performance." They were awarded 23 points.

Then Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson took the floor with a jazzy quickstep. Len admitted that he realized: "That was a tough dance for you. For entertainment, it was fantastic. The technique wasn't so hot, but I liked it." Bruno enthused, "A ton of fun. A guy of your size producing that kind of performance … your feet were going all over. It is incredible what you have achieved in such a short space of time." Carrie Ann, too, was amazed that Warren didn't miss a step, adding, "Like Bruno said, it was tons of fun." Even with the technique issues, Warren and Kym earned 22 points.

Ted McGinley and Inna Brayer demonstrated they are mambo-licious when they danced their Latin dance! Carrie Ann wasn't totally impressed, pointing out, "You did a lot of moves in that dance. I see you rehearsed it very well, but, unfortunately there is a bit of awkwardness to how you move. I know your spirit is great." Len added, "You proved with hard work anything is possible. Last night an elegant foxtrot. Tonight you did a commendable mambo." Bruno told them, "You have grabbed your mambo with both hands and squeezed every ounce of fun out of it. But you need to listen to the music, I feel you lose the musicality." Ted and Inna scored one point higher than Monday night, getting 19 points.

The youngest couple of the competition -- Cody Linley and Julianne Hough -- drew the quickstep for their performance. Bruno called them: "King and queen of the prom. Your parents should be proud of you. You tend to go like Jiminy Cricket. You need more control." Carrie Ann said, "The quickstep is the most difficult dance. You need to be in sync and you need to make it look like it was simple. I think you did all that." Len told Cody, "I thought you danced with great maturity. You controlled yourself. Overall, I thought you did a good job." When the scores were added up, Cody and Julianne earned 23 points.

Rocco DiSpirito and Karina Smirnoff added to the night's mambo madness with a much improved performance from Monday night. Len was quick to point that out, saying, "Improvement is relative, but you were so poor last night. That was much better. Well done." Bruno agreed, saying, "What a turn around. I have never seen such a change so quickly. I am stunned." Carrie Ann added, "That was super sexy. I think mambos should be sexy and you were on par with that." Rocco and Karina added seven points to their score from Monday night's 14, earning a 21.

Susan Lucci and Tony Dovolani drew the quickstep for their second night's dance. Carrie Ann observed, "There is the Susan Lucci I thought we would see. You had so much more power. You did a great job today. That was the strength, charisma and power I expected from you." Len remarked, "I am feeling smug because I said ballroom would be your forte. This is so much better than last night." Bruno said, "Elegance, glamour and beautiful variations. This really is your element." Susan and Tony also received a much-improved score: 22 points.

The final couple of the night were Kim Kardashian and Mark Ballas dancing the mambo. Bruno said, "Kym, you are gorgeous but you drive me crazy. How can you have what you've got, but not use it?" Len agreed, adding, "You said, 'Everybody expects me to be sexy and I am not.' This is a performance. You didn't sell it. Mark was overcompensating for you." Carrie Ann defended Kim saying, "She was last. She was standing out there all night and that is hard. You obviously don't have any performance experience, but you were trying. You've got to keep going." Despite all the criticism, the couple earned 18 points.

Hulk Hogan's Son Gets Early Release from Jail


ET confirms the news that Hulk Hogan's son Nick Bollea is being released from jail on Oct. 21. People magazine reports that his release date is three months early, with credits for good behavior and working. A source tells People the early release is standard for all inmates.

"They automatically get credits towards early release, and if they don't do anything bad while they're here, they get to use the credits," a jail official who did not want to be identified told People

Previously, ET reported that Bollea was sentenced to eight months in jail. He was taken directly from the courthouse to the jail to begin serving his sentence immediately.

Bollea's charges stem from a nearly fatal August 26, '07 crash that left his friend John Graziano III on life support. Graziano now requires lifelong care.

At that time, Bollea entered a plea of "no contest" on charges of felony reckless driving in a Florida courtroom and was also given five years probation and 500 hours community service.

Meg Ryan: 'Dennis was not faithful to me for a very long time'


Meg Ryan doesn't want to be your sweetheart anymore. After eight years of silence, the blonde actress candidly opens up to In Style magazine and dispels the myths about her celebrity marriage to Dennis Quaid, their shocking divorce, and being labeled "America's Sweetheart."

After eight years of keeping quiet, she divulges what the public never knew about her life with Quaid and confesses to some of the deep issues that broke up what seemed to the world to be the perfect Hollywood marriage. "Dennis was not faithful to me for a very long time, and that was very painful. I found out more about that after I was divorced."

In the aftermath of her divorce and the public outcry over her affair with actor Russell Crowe, the actresss opted for some time out of the spotlight to recover from her wounds and to find her footing again. Her film roles have been sparse as has her time in the public eye, and Ryan admits she has liked it that way.

Ryan says that her being dubbed "America's Sweetheart" more than 20 years ago was frustrating and stifling at times. "It's an old-fashioned idea, so anachronistic. I understood it was a compliment about being lovable, and it felt nice ... but it also felt, after a time, like ideas were being projected onto me that had nothing to do with me. The girl next door to what? I never felt like a very conventional person," she confides to the magazine.

"I've been famous for a long time, and these last years there's been a great lull. So its has been me throwing a backpack on, traveling a lot -- its been fantastic."

Not only has she been traveling, but also she picked up something very special on the way. Three years ago, in the midst of all her self-discovery the 46-year-old actress decided to adopt a baby girl from China that she named Daisy.

"I don't feel like I adopted a child. I feel like I just got this unbelievable companion," says Ryan. "Daisy is brilliant. This kid says things every day that make you just stop and stare at her."

Eight years after her very public divorce, life is certainly very different for America's ex-sweetheart. Ryan is now at the point in her life where she can use the dramatic highs and lows the past years have brought her in her acting work. She recently returned to the screen to star in Diane English's woman-centered remake of the 1930s film 'The Women'. In a tale of art imitating life, the tousled haired blonde plays the wife of a philanderer who, with the help of her friends, leaves her cheating husband.

"I think Meg is very comfortable in her own skin now," English says of both Ryan's life and her acting ability. "I don't think she is someone who would just settle into a stereotype, and that makes for a more challenging life."

True to form, Ryan shows her strength and her style in the upcoming magazine. The October issue of In Style magazine hits newsstands Friday, Sept. 26.

'Dancing with the Stars'' Seventh Season Premiere


Break out the rhinestones and the sequins, "Dancing with the Stars" is back for its seventh season with the biggest cast ever: 13 stars of stage, screen and the kitchen!

"Hannah Montana" star Cody Linley and two-time "Dancing with the Stars" champ Julianne Hough got the competition off and running with a fierce cha cha. Head judge Len Goodman told the youngest couple ever to compete, "You came out full of confidence. It was high-energy dancing. Sometimes too much energy gives it a wildness. You need to temper that, but great job." Carrie Ann Inaba joked, "Your combined ages are younger than mine. I see incredible potential. Your lines were good. I hope you make it back tomorrow. I want to see your next dance." And Bruno Tonioli added, "You were bursting with energy and excitement. I know [Julianne] was good and you couldn't keep your eyes off her, but you need to make it technically clean." The first couple out scored an 18.

Celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito and Karina Smirnoff took to the floor to foxtrot. Bruno felt that Rocco's feet were all over the place, but added, "I am sure you will be better tomorrow." Carrie Ann commented, "I think what you have going for you is a great connection with the audience. Keep going with that." Len said, "Good attempt." Rocco and Karina were awarded 14 points.

Next up were Toni Braxton and Alec Mazo, who wowed the judges with their first dance. That doesn't mean there wasn't some criticism with Len suggesting to Toni, "You've got to straighten your legs more. That will give you hip action." Bruno said, "Everybody knows I like my divas. You are all of that." The couple earned 22 points.

They were followed by Olympic gold medalist Maurice Greene and two-time "Dancing with the Stars" champ Cheryl Burke dancing the foxtrot. Len said, "There were parts that were wild and parts that were wacky. This competition is a marathon, pace yourself." Bruno told Maurice, "You have a great presence. You obviously like dancing. You lost your posture in hold and your footwork was poor. You are promising." Carrie Ann pointed out, "You can definitely dance. You have to work on the style that we are asking you to do. Try to bridge between being James Brown-y and ballroom." The judges scored them 18 points.

Dancing the cha cha cha were Brooke Burke and Derek Hough. Carrie Ann commented, "Four babies and your torso moves like that! You have an amazing body designed to dance. A lot of our models haven't done well, but you have the strength." Bruno added, "Brooke is going for broke. Your legs! All I can say is, what a debut." Len kept it simple: "Best dance so far." Brooke and Derek received the highest score of the night: 23 points.

Ted McGinley and first-time professional partner Inna Brayer rounded out the first hour of the competition with a foxtrot. Bruno told Ted, "At moments, you had the elegance of Cary Grant in 'To Catch a Thief' and then you turned into Steve Carell." Len thought: "You had style and elegance and your footwork was very, very good. Over all, well done." Carrie Ann pointed out, "The hardest thing you are going to overcome is your fears. You can see the movements are there. You have great potential in this contest." Ted and Inna were awarded 18 points.

Lance Bass and newcomer Lacey Schwimmer danced the cha cha cha. Len told them, "What you did, you did well. It was young and modern. The problem is I am old and traditional. I don't want a hodge podge." Carrie Ann disagreed, saying, "I thought that was hot hot hot. Great sharp movements. You knew what you were doing. You nailed it." Bruno agreed, pointing out: "That was edgy and spunky. You should be proud. It was a cha cha cha for now." Lance and Lacey tied with Toni and Alex at 22 points.

Cloris Leachman and Corky Ballas were stylin' to the foxtrot. Bruno started, "You were floating out there with geriatric presence." Len joked, "I was going to say at your age, I am surprised how well you danced, Corky." Then he added, "The dance had a nice feel about it." Carrie Ann remarked, "This is what we call a golden oldie. You were nothing but grace on the dance floor." They scored a 16.

Jeffrey Ross, who danced with an injured eye from earlier in the day when his partner Edyta Sliwinska accidentally poked him, got kudos from the judges for getting out on the floor. Carrie Ann said, "It is hard because I know you injured yourself, but the musicality was off." Bruno added, "Nothing really worked." And Len simply said, "I think everyone who comes on to 'Dancing with the Stars' is a winner because of the commitment you all make." Jeff and Edyta had the low score of the night: 12 points.

Up next were Kim Kardashian and last season's champ Mark Ballas performing a foxtrot. Len felt it was clean, saying, "It had a nice musicality, but it was cold. There was no chemistry between you two." Bruno commented, "You are such a dusky beauty. It reminds me of Princess Jasmine in 'Aladdin,' but you need to make it more available." Carrie Ann agreed, adding, "I think you move very well. Your weakest point is that you are not used to moving your head. I think that is why we feel disconnected." Even so, Kim and Mark earned 19 points.

Soap opera diva Susan Lucci and new dad Tony Dovolani, whose wife recently gave birth to twins, hit the dance floor with a cha cha cha. Bruno stated, "You are a gorgeous lady, but the cha cha cha needs a slut. If you come back, let yourself go a little more." Carrie Ann added, "Dancing is quite athletic and trying. I think you need to put on weight, because you looked a little frail." Len declared the dance, "Neat." Then he added, "It was precise and it was a bit too careful. I think ballroom dancing will be more up your alley." That said, the couple were awarded 15 points.

They were followed by Misty May-Treanor and Maksim Chmerkovskiy dancing the foxtrot. Carrie Ann declared, "I have never seen anyone attack a foxtrot with so much intensity. I am sure that intensity will go well for you. Try not to muscle everything. Relax into it." Len disagreed with Carrie Ann, saying, "I thought that had an elegance about it. I though your arms were really nice. I thought in hold you did a really good job." Bruno advised, "If I was you, I wouldn't worry about being lady like, you were glowing on the floor. You will go a long way." Their score reflected the compliments: 21.

NFL great Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson were the final couple of the night to perform the foxtrot. Len exclaimed, "You are a great big bundle of joy. One of the secrets of the cha cha is to come out and have fun and that is what you did!" Carrie Ann said, "You were so cute. We watched so many dances tonight and [it was great] to end on such a positive note. You brought joy to the dance floor." Bruno enthused, "Big boys can dance! You were so light on your feet. You were right with Kym all the time." Warren and Kim tied with Misty and Maks with 21 points.
