Last week we got our first look at the first promo video released by The 83rd Annual Academy Awards which features co-hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco. Today we get to feast our eyes on the second promo video released of the Oscar hosts offering their personal invitation to YOU to watch the show.


Cute … but not as funny as the first video. You know, at first I had my doubts that Anne and James would be able to pull off a successful hosting job … but now, I think they might actually do a good job. If they keep things light and funny, I bet they’ll be just fine. I’m starting to see that they have pretty good chemistry so … I’m going to keep positive about their hosting abilities until I see otherwise. Do y’all think they’ll be able to do a good hosting job … or not?

Teen heartthrob Justin Bieber has decided to appear in more mature photoshoots now that he’s just about to turn 17 years old … and that maturity, apparently, involves wearing less clothing than he usually wears in shoots. I’m not sure if y’all are ready for this but … Justin Bieber has gone shirtless, y’all.

It’s a text that many a teenage girl would be thrilled to receive. Whether their parents would approve is another matter. Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber posed for shirtless photos before texting them to his ‘girlfriend’ during a magazine shoot. Although he did not divulge who the ‘girlfriend’ was, it is presumed to be Disney star Selena Gomez, to whom he has become particularly close during the past few months. The Baby singer was pictured looking moody, wearing nothing but a pair of grey trousers and with nothing more than a tie slung around his neck to keep him warm. While at the photo shoot the 16-year-old reportedly asked one of the stylists to take photos of him on his mobile phone which he then texted to his ‘girlfriend’. A source told X17Online: ‘Justin was talking to the stylist, asking her to take sexy pictures of him for his girlfriend’. Bieber apparently asked for the photos to be taken in a playful way. But no doubt anyone who received a shirtless shot of the pint-sized pop star would be over the moon. The source added: ‘He was just being cute about it, joking around, but he definitely wanted to look good for this girl. He never said the name Selena, but we knew who it was’.

Geeze, kids grow up so fast, don’t they? I have to say … the sight of a shirtless Biebs seems … kinda wrong, don’t it? I wonder which magazine these photos will appear in. The photos seem too racy for Teen Beat or Bop and, yet, too young for something like GQ. But, whichever magazine prints these photos, you can be sure that his rabid fans will be clamoring for copies of these pics to tack up onto their bedroom walls … much to their parents chagrin, I’m sure.

charlie sheen not being investigated for drugs

Amidst all types of career and personal drama, at least Charlie Sheen can find solace in the fact that he won't go to jail.

Sources say that the LAPD won't be investigating Sheen for drugs, despite the fact that people who were at his house during his cocaine-porn party have fessed up about his drug use.

Apparently, since many of the girls at Charlie's party have gone public about the events that took place, some of which for cash, LAPD has decided not to investigate further.

Also, no drugs were found at the house when the L.A. City Fire Dept arrived.

Looks like you seriously lucked out there, Charlie.

One potential disaster down - quite a few more to go…

So supportive!

We mentioned last week that Geri Jewell, best known for her role as Cousin Geri on The Facts Of Life, has a book coming out this spring that talks about her struggle as an actress with cerebral palsy and acknowledges she is a lesbian.

Charlotte Rae, who played Mrs. Garrett on the show, has come forward in full support of her former costars confession, calling her coming out "absolutely wonderful! She explained to sources:

"Her coming out as a lesbian, well, it's a healthy time to come out, everybody is very open about it, which is wonderful, absolutely wonderful…I'm just very amazed at Geri Jewell, the struggles she's had, the joys she's given to so many people, the inspiration she's been to all of us. I just wish her more and more good health and prosperity. She obviously knows how to love. We love her."

How incredibly touching! We're so happy to know that Geri has people like this in her life, people who care and respect her for the brave soul she is.

the-office-stars-spill-on-steve-carell-leaving.jpg

With the end of this season drawing near, everyone is still wondering who will be replacing Steve Carrell at The Office. A lot of names have been tossed around, but no one will confirm anything.

Not even costars Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski, though they were happy to talk about what the change means to them at the SAG Awards last night.

John explained that losing Steve on the show is "going to be massive" and while he's sure he'll love whoever comes in to replace him, he confessed that "no one will be able to do what he does truly."

But who is this "no one"?! Who is going to take over Dunder Mifflin?! Jenna would only offer this as a clue:

"I can tell you that it's not as simple as Steve leaving and a new person coming in. There's going to be a lot of restructuring. You're going to see people from the past and some new people."

Grr! We hate not being in the know! C'mon! Someone fess up already!

SO exciting!

Perezhilton.com has been sent some exclusive videos (above) of John Leguizamo's upcoming Broadway show Ghetto Klown.

Along with the clips from the show, John has sent us a video invite to go check out his play, so we can see his skillz at roasting celebs, because according to him, we're "the king of roasting."

We're flattered Mr. Leguizamo, but our hardcore roasting days are behind us! These days, we would NEVER dream of calling you out for thinking that The Pest, Spawn, and Righteous Kill were solid acting choices. LOLz.

We're just kidding sort of.

Thank you for the invite, John! We have no doubt that you'll give plenty of celebs a run for their money!

If these clips are any kind of indicator, we're sure this is going to be a wonderfully HIGHlarious show!

Will U check out John Leguizamo's Ghetto Klown?

All is forgiven!

Even though neither of them walked away with an award last night, it was a special evening for both Lea Michele and Hailee Steinfeld as they finally got to put the past behind them and meet for the first time.

You'll recall there was a rumor that Lea had snubbed 14-year-old Hailee's request for an autograph on the Parmount lot while the young star was filming True Grit. We've since learned that it was actually a production assistant that sent Hailee away, reportedly crying, but that didn't stop Lea from making amends last night.

The two lovely ladies were seated at the same table at the SAG Awards and Lea spent a good chunk of time chatting Hailee up as well as taking some pictures with her!

Totally better than an autograph, we think! Glad to see all is well now!

P.S. - Seriously, how tiny are you Lea? You've got ten years on this girl and she's got 10 inches on you! Wow!

sarah palin thinks people will blame her for egypt

Not everything is about you!

We find it pret-ty ridiculous that Sarah Palin is trying to insinuate that anybody would blame her for what's going on in Egypt.

During a speech in Reno on Saturday, Sarah spoke about how she thinks "a recently discussed media boycott of her is good" so nobody will blame her for the uprising taking place in Egypt.

Here's what she said about her media boycott:

"[It] sounds good, because there's a lot of chaos in Cairo, and I can't wait to not get blamed for it–at least for a month."

Get over it, Sarah. We're not 100% sure if you were trying to be "funny" or "cute" by making this comment OR if you were actually serious, but please leave the Egypt situation alone.

It has NOTHING to do with you.

Thoughts???

In April of last year, we got our first look at the first teaser poster for Scream 4. Today, with under 3 months to go until the film gets released in theaters, we get our first look at the latest Scream 4 poster artwork.


Fans of the Scream film franchise will recognize that this new poster follows the trend that posters for the previous film followed. To be honest, I’m not too crazy about this poster artwork, mainly because the 4 doesn’t work as well as it should. Still, I am very excited that we are so near the film’s release. I understand production of Scream 4 has gone back to Northville, Michigan to do some reshoots … which means that they’ll be going down to the wire to get the film out on time. As for this poster, what do y’all think? Do you like it?

charlie-sheen-costs-cbs-millions.jpg

We're actually kind of surprised. With their star being less than reliable, you would have thought CBS would've had a Plan B in case something like this happened. (And it was bound to happen sooner or later.)

As Charlie Sheen settles into rehab, he's left his Two and a Half Men network completely in the lurch. We're hearing that CBS stands to lose millions in ad revenue and syndication money because they won't be able to finish the show without Charlie.

The grand total of funds potentially lost if Charlie can not return and the show is permanently shut down $250 million! And that's just in domestic syndication revenue! Experts aren't quite sure what they'll lose in ads, but to put things in perspective, the show grossed CBS more than $155 million in ad revenue last season alone.

We're talking over a quarter of a BILLION dollars forfeited because of one man! Remarkable, isn't it?

In all honestly, we care less about the studio losing money than we do about all the poor people who work on the show who may lose their jobs because of all this. Just goes to show how one self-centered, arrogant man can ruin tons of people's lives just by being careless.

Do you think he feels any remorse about that?
