Taylor Lautner Envisions a Quest
1 hour ago
Taylor Lautner may be about to pin down another role. Seemingly seconds after he booked yet another post-Jacob job, sources tell E! News that the 17-year-old actor is in talks to put his New Moon abs to good use in a remake of the 1985 drama Vision Quest. Which is not what it sounds like—a cheesy sci-fi flick—but rather a coming-of-age romance that featured Madonna's "Crazy for You" as its theme song and starred Matthew Modine as a high school wrestling star who falls in love with an artist—a permtastic Linda Fiorentino—his dad has taken in as a boarder. Why remake? Let's just re-release that! But Taylor may have another vision. He could wind up playing an …
Red Menace? Jack Bauer Grills Santa Claus
3 hours ago
Travel without a passport, intense surveillance of every American, in control of a shadowy-yet-extensive manufacturing infrastructure, planning a vast, virtually instantaneous series of worldwide break-ins...this red-suited guy is highly suspicious. It's only fitting that our Counter Terrorism Unit's top agent, Jack Bauer, tries to crack this character under intense interrogation. We don't think Jack would waterboard the old man, but maybe he's gonna snowboard him. …
Lil Wayne Avoids Bigger Legal Woes for Pot Possession
4 hours ago
Some guys have all the luck—at least for now. Fresh off a concert in Hidalgo, rapper Lil Wayne and 11 of his crew members were detained on suspicion of marijuana possession by the Texas Border Patrol. The band passed through a mandatory checkpoint late Friday afternoon when officials reportedly found the illegal drug on two of the megastar's tour buses. While Wayne and his crew were held for questioning, Border Patrol spokesman Joe Trevino told E! News that the marijuana was not found on a particular individual, and that all parties were very cooperative. On Saturday morning, the rep confirmed that charges were not brought against the hip-hop artist or his contemporaries. "He was not charged …
Week in Review: Tiger's Free-Fall, Jake & Reese's Split, Kourtney's Baby and More!
4 hours ago
Who knew us pop-culture types would end up having to join the Golf Writers Association of America? That's what it feels like, anyway, as the Tiger Woods saga continues to unfold amid all the other Hollywood happenings that don't take a special membership (or, according to some of our most critical commenters, schooling of any kind) to cover. And there were some doozies this week, but first... 1. Fore!: The Tiger Woods lady pipeline stopped gushing but is still leaking names, while E! News sat down with the endorsement-hemorrhaging star's first girlfriend and learned that teenage Tiger was devastated by his own father's cheating. Having no phone on which to text her, the AP's athlete of …

Leighton Meester's desperation to achieve edgy sexiness is starting to get on our nerves. At first it was Omg! She looks hot. Then it became Wtf was she thinking? Now it's Omfg, enough already. Mark Fast's black mini is edgy enough with its sheer paneling and short hemline. There is no reason for the Gossip Girl to paint on clown makeup—not to mention a fake beauty mark—then cut off her legs with leopard Christian Louboutin booties. Or maybe it's just us. Do you like how Leighton put her own spin on the knit dress? Vote now on mystyle.com! …
Newly Single Kate Dreams of Dancing with the Stars
5 hours ago
Maybe the world's most famous reality mama isn't finished gracing our televisions after all. On the eve of the dissolution of her marriage to Jon Gosselin, Kate Gosselin stopped by The Jay Leno Show's Ten@Ten, and the late-night host branded her with some hard-hitting questions: What kind of settlement was reached in the divorce proceedings? Will Kate Plus 8 ever come to fruition? Is Jon still wearing those superstylish diamond earrings? Ummm, not quite, but he did get Gosselin to chat about her single parenting plans. "I'm a wild woman Jay. I'm baking cookies with the kids," Gosselin teased when asked the itinerary for her first official night minus Jon. Other topics of …
Trista Sutter: Bachelor Franchise Is "Tainted Now"
5 hours ago
Reality television has come a long way since Trista Sutter found the love of her life on The Bachelorette. "The show is a little tainted now," the 37-year-old mother of two told us recently at Jc Penney's Holiday Tasting and Tree Trimming at West Hollywood's Sunset Tower. "People know the right things to say and do, and how to act." Trista and Ryan Sutter said "I do" in 2003 after she picked him as the bachelor she wanted to marry. Their wedding aired as a television special on ABC. "When we were on it, it was more innocent," she continued. "It came from a pure place...I'm sure many people go on now to be a part of the public eye." In …

So what is the "in" gift for the Hollywood holiday season this year? —Libye, via Facebook Well, there are the gifts that stars tell us they're buying—mostly precious charitable donations, green eco-Earthy crafty things, that sort of whatnot. "Stars like Jennifer Aniston and Kristin Davis are promoting the 'Give Thanks' rhinestone T-shirts from St. Jude's, and Jennifer Love Hewitt always makes a donation to a favorite charity in the name of her friends," personal shopper and gifting guru Lash Fary of Distinctive Assets tells me. "And I know many, many stars like Pink, Adrian Grenier, Leo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz are always looking for 'green' …

• High on life is one thing, but it's easier to be high on brownies filled with weed. Not that Martha Stewart would be interested in Snoop Dogg's recipe. Or would she? • This is as close as you'll get to seeing Mike Tyson on Jersey Shore. Which is close enough. • Pity teed-off Tiger-lover Jamie Grubbs.

Disney Revives Michael Jackson's Captain Eo
17 hours ago
Disney's hoping that it's been sitting on a goldmine. Seeing as how This Is It exceeded expectations at the global box office and Michael Jackson is back to artistic-hero status after his image spent years in decline, the Mouse House is bringing the 3-D film Captain Eo, starring Jackson as a thriller of an intergalactic commander, back into its theme park fold for a limited engagement in February. The cutting-edge song-and-dance spectacle, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, produced by George Lucas and costarring Angelica Huston as the Witch Queen, premiered at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., in 1986 and became a key attraction in Tomorrowlands around the world. Alas, Disneyland grounded Captain Eo in …
Review: Avatar is All Kinds of Awesome, But Maybe You Knew That Already
20 hours ago
Review in a Hurry: Believe the hype. James Cameron's decade-in-the-making sci-fi dream project is an immersive epic unlike any other. Yes, the story's pretty simple, but with so much else to take in, anything more complicated might have been tough to follow. The Bigger Picture: Never count Cameron out. He may not be the actual king of the world, but in the realm of sci-fi action, he doesn't just rule, he reigns. One-upping the kind of otherworldly landscapes George Lucas created for the Star Wars prequels, Avatar takes us to Pandora, a jungle-covered moon orbiting a gas giant, where human corporate interests seek out the rather stupidly named mineral "unobtainium." Hazards are plenty—the …
LeAnn Rimes Getting a Real Divorce
21 hours ago
After all this holding back, LeAnn Rimes will finally be free to do whatever she wants! The country songbird's estranged husband, Dean Sheremet, has finally found the right lawyer, apparently, because he filed for divorce yesterday in Los Angeles Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason. Despite some last-ditch PDAs, Rimes and Sheremet admitted in September that they had separated and had "agreed to move forward with dissolving" their marriage, but they have remained legally married. Since then, Rimes has been slowly edging into the public eye with new beau Cibrian, who himself is in the middle of an increasingly nasty divorce from the mother of his two kids and slasher …

Forget Greg, Peter or Bobby. The newest Brady is Benjamin. More than a week after celebrating the birth of their first child, Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady have finally settled on a name for the little guy.

Shrek Forever After Trailer: A Fitting Send-Off?
22 hours ago
Shrek is cursed! But it isn't the kind of curse that usually accompanies the umpteenth installment of a movie franchise—you know, the installment that seems like a lazy ploy to squeeze every last dollar out of the die-hard audience. No, this time, you guys, Shrek himself really has been cursed and his world is falling apart in Shrek Forever After! Donkey doesn't recognize him! Fiona's on the lam! Puss in Boots has let himself go! The Far Far Away sign looks worse than the Hollywood sign did in the early '70s! But don't worry, because like we said, the franchise isn't cursed, just the ogre. In fact, the movie seems like it's in excellent health, nothing to worry about. From the …

Review: Nine? More Like a Six
22 hours ago
Review in a Hurry: Director Rob Marshall (Chicago) delivers another Broadway musical to the cineplex—but with Nine already an American remake of the classic Federico Fellini film 8 1/2, something feels lost in translation. On the upside, Penélope Cruz, Marion Cotillard and even Fergie have never looked better. That's enough, right? The Bigger Picture: Daniel Day-Lewis plays Guido Contini, a Fellini-like filmmaker who loves too many women (seven in all). Although his films are always about those gorgeous beauties, he can't seem to find enough inspiration to start his next project, even as production looms in the gorgeous vistas of Rome. In the great tradition of musicals, the story is …

It's a routine no one could have imagined. Shane Sparks, the award-winning hip-hop choreographer on Fox's So You Think You Can Dance and a judge on MTV's America's Best Dance Crew, was arrested early Friday in Los Angeles and charged with eight counts of felony child molestation.

Glee Boss on Showmance: "We Have Some Plans to Give the People What They Want"
23 hours ago
So many Glee goodies, so little time. We just caught up with Glee creator Ryan Murphy at the Hollywood Radio and Television Society Hitmakers luncheon for a one-on-one interview, and he was kind enough to answer our questions about the future of the beloved musical hit. Murphy revealed to us that he never expected the Puck-Rachel phenomenon, but that the fandom has not gone unnoticed by the producers and the sparks between those two characters will be revisited! Here's what we learned about how the overwhelming fan response to the "Puckleberry" coupling took Glee bosses off guard, plus deets on the upcoming Madonna-palooza episode and plans for a couple of "top secret" guest stars...
