| Miley’s New Man |
The Last Song
Miley has fallen in love. Who with? Liam Hemsworth, her Aussie co-star in her latest film, The Last Song.
What has Miley got to say about him? “He’s really tall. He definitely showed chivalry: I remember him opening the door for the director, and I was like, ‘Wow.’”
Of course, Liam is also smitten by her. “Working with Miley was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be,” he reveals. “From the first time we read, it was like I had known her before.”
Let’s hope this goes better for her than her relationship with Justin Gaston. |

| Interesting Oscar Parade |
Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez and Charlize Theron wore pretty interesting gowns to the 2010 Oscars. Sure, interesting doesn’t mean it’s better but which do you like the best. Why?

| Simon Cowell Engaged? |
The lady who tamed Simon?
Simon Cowell is known to put people in a tight spot. The tables were turned when Simon was put in a spot as Jay Leno asked the longtime bachelor about the large diamond ring his girlfriend Mezhgan Hussainy (American Idol makeup artiste) is sporting.
Since Mezhgan later joined the duo onstage, I guess Simon was forced to spill the beans. “Well, I do have somebody in my life now, Jay, yes. And I kinda made a decision this year to make somebody happy so that’s how I…it’s called giving back,” Simon said, comparing his deed to making a donation to charity. Oh, the arrogance of this Brit!
Simon said, “I bought her the ring in London” confirming that the wedding will take place “within the next 10 years” and Jay can “do the flowers” if not be the best man but he’s not sure if the wedding will take place in the U.K. or the U.S.
All I can say is: George Clooney, don’t rush into it. Take your time… |

| Oscars Hoopla |
Congrats to the winners of the 82nd Academy Awards and to The Hurt Locker for bagging the coveted Best Movie win. Surprisingly, less than humble director James Cameron actually tipped The Hurt Locker for the win over his special effects epic Avatar. Bet he wished he hadn’t said anything.
James wasn’t the only one to make a correct prediction. George Clooney had bet all his assets that Jeff Bridges would take home the Best Actor over him. Wow, George is not only gorgeous, he’s clairvoyant.
Is that a knife in James' hand?
At the beginning of the awards show, co-hosts Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin had joked that Kathryn Bigelow was so pleased to be nominated along with ex-husband James for Best Director, that she sent him a beautiful gift basket – with a timer! After Kathryn won over James, we wonder if he will be sending her that Toyota.
The Oscars awards show was as expected, fabulous and rather surprising at times. After all, who would have guessed that current Razzie target Sandra Bullock would grab the Best Actress win from Meryl Streep and in the process make history for being the first star to win both awards? That Precious star Gabourey Sidibe actually turned down the chance to be Oprah Winfrey's date to the ceremony? That Invictus hunk Matt Damon is going to be staring in a film adaptation on the life of Liberace? And that Joel Madden played DJ for the night?
What a way to make history
What were equally entertaining to the Oscars were the rumours that had sprung up prior to the awards show. Some of the more interesting footnotes were the one where The Edge Of Darkness actor Mel Gibson reportedly told Radar Online that he wasn’t attending the ceremony but had planned on watching the broadcast instead at home and in the nude.
Gerard Butler had promised he would walk the red carpet dateless and he did. If he thought that would put an end to the rumours he was dating Jennifer Aniston, it didn’t work because now there is a renewed frenzy to find out what exactly is the deal between the two.
The Oscars have, once again proved that when it comes to delivering entertainment, Hollywood has got it in the bag. Now, before reading any further, be warned of the spoiler alert.
Here are some of the most anticipated results:-
I won! I won!
Best Picture: The Hurt Locker
Best Director: Kathryn Bigelow
Best Actress: Sandra Bullock
Best Actor: Jeff Bridges
Best Supporting Actress: Mo'Nique
Best Supporting Actor” Christopher Waltz

No. 2

Ouch. The Hurt Locker blows away Avatar competition
No. 1
“James Cameron is going into his own hurt locker right now.” Paul Scheer, comedian

| Zac Efron Star Struck At The Oscars |
| It seems us mere mortals were not the only ones reeling from the glare of stars on parade at the Oscars. Turns out stars too can be blinded by the light. And no one was more in awe at the Oscars than High School Musical heartthrob Zac Efron! 
Yay! For Sam
According to reports, Zac turned fan on the red carpet after bumping into Avatar's Sam Worthington. Zac, it was said, couldn't resist cooing about the sci-fi movie on live TV after meeting the Aussie for the first time.
Zac shamelessly gushed to E!, “I saw it (Avatar) four times; I've seen you (Sam) in 3D, regular, HD - I've seen you in every 'D' possible... You are the man, dude. It's great to see you. To which a red-faced Sam jokingly replied, “That's the easiest $100 I've ever paid... It's all good.”

| Mutya Wants Sugababes Name |
|
What's in a name?
A couple of days ago, Mutya Bueno -- the one time de facto lead Sugababe who’s struggled to make it on her own ever since quitting the band -- applied to the European Trademarks Authority for ownership of the Sugababes brand name.
Mutya’s claim comes in the wake of Keisha Buchanan’s departure from the band and as the new Babes (Amelle Berrabah, Heidi Range and Jade Ewen) prepare for the release of a new record entitled Sweet 7.
Mutya's claim centres on the fact that “it kind of doesn’t make sense that there is Sugababes any more. I don't know if it’s just me, but Keisha being the original that was left out of the band, her leaving doesn’t make it Sugababes really.”
But do the new Babes care? ’Course not! Says Heidi Range, “Our record company owns the name, so there’s no conversations about who owns the name.”
Well, regardless of whose side you’re on, it’ll be interesting to see what the ETA have to say about it.

| Guy Ritchie, King Arthur And Lightsabers |
Gimme a sword, mate
Not satisfied with turning Sherlock Holmes into a sort of 19th century James Bond, Guy Ritchie is setting his sights on a new target: King Arthur.
According to reports, Guy is looking to direct a new adaptation of the Arthurian legend that is being penned by award-winning comic book writer Warren Ellis.
And if you’re thinking that Guy can’t really do much damage to the King Arthur story, think again! The reports suggest that Warren Ellis’ treatment, which has already been delivered to Warner Bros., is “more in the tone of Star Wars!”
Yes, people, Star Wars!
I can see it now actually. Arthur is sorta like Luke Skywalker, Merlin is Obi-Wan, Lancelot is Han Solo and Excalibur isn’t a broadsword, it’s a lightsaber! Oh and I bet Guy will try to get Jason Statham for the lead role.

| Neil Patrick Harris Goes Blue |
A kind of blue
Next summer, fans will get to see Neil Patrick Harris in a whole new light. A whole new blue light!
OK, that’s not entirely true. I mean, yes, we’ve just read that funnyman Neil has signed on to star in the forthcoming Smurfs feature film. However, there is no word yet on his role in the movie.
Nevertheless, we can confirm who George Lopez, Alan Cumming, Jonathan Winters and … wait for it … KATY PERRY will be playing.
According to Variety, George Lopez will voice Grouchy Smurf; Alan Cumming is Gutsy Smurf; Jonathan Winters (who voiced numerous characters in the original cartoon) will take on Papa Smurf while sweet Katy is none other than Smurfette.
