Reese Helps Idol Give Back


Reese Witherspoon took a break from hanging out with her own adorable kids to spend some time at a school in New Orleans as part of Idol Gives Back. She read stories, chatted, and posed for photos with the happy kids as part of the special charity episode of American Idol. The episode airs April 9 and will feature other celebs like Bono and Brad Pitt. Last year the event raked in $60 million, and we can't wait to see if Reese and everyone else can do an even better job this year.

Incest Is Best


Despite various reports and photos of the two together, Rihanna and Chris Brown are still denying that they are a pair.
This weekend, during the Kid's Choice Awards, Rihanna told MTV News that "We are best friends, honestly, like brother and sister."

Rihanna continues, "We both started our careers around the same time. He is one of the only people in the industry … I trust and hang out with all the time. If he was a boyfriend, I would say that."
At the same event, Chris said "They keep asking me, 'What's the deal?' I'm like, 'There's no deal. No deal.' We're just friends." The singer then said, "Be yourself, and see as many girls as possible!"
Yea, he's trying to play the media but it's just not working!
Come on and admit it already.

Bad Idea of the Week: Madonna Remaking Casablanca (?!)


It's only Monday morning and already we have a Bad Idea of the Week! And yes, this is entirely rumorific right now, but the mere thought of it is so appalling to me, I had to vent.
Madonna. Remaking. Casablanca.
Of course, the remake — possibly set in a modern war zone like Iraq — would be a starring vehicle for the Queen of Pop herself. Apparently, a "source" told the Daily Mail, "Madonna is talking about taking the Ingrid Bergman role for herself, even though Bergman was in her 20s when she played Ilsa and Madonna is nearly 50." Um. Yeah. To see what else there is to say about this, read more.
Age is the least of the issues I'd have with Madonna taking the role of Ilsa in a remake of Casablanca. First and foremost I have a problem with the words "a remake of Casablanca." And in general, Madonna is simply all wrong for the part. Ilsa (Bergman) had that sweet, vulnerable face, and a gentleness to her which I don't quite see Madonna achieving.
Again, this is totally just a rumor right now. But if it is true, it annoys me to think that just because Madonna wishes to reclaim some credibility in the movie world, she has to go after one of the most — if not the most — well-loved classic films of all time.
If this is true, I. . . I don't even have the words. I really don't. But maybe you do? What do you think about this idea?

Jennifer and Marc Help Shine A Light In NYC







Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony made their first red carpet appearance since the birth of the twins at last night's NYC premiere of Shine A Light. The Martin Scorsese directed documentary about two Rolling Stones concerts in 2006, mixed in with archive footage of the rockers. Of course, the band was out to celebrate the movie as well. J Lo and Marc aren't quite known for the same genre of music, but when there are two little newborns to be cared for back at home they're certainly rock stars in their own right for looking so fresh, fabulous

It Was Another Slimy Kids' Choice Awards


After showing off their looks on the orange carpet, the stars got down to the real fun at the Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday night. Miley Cyrus was the night's biggest winner taking home the awards for Favorite TV Actress and Favorite Female Singer, but she managed to avoid being slimed. Orlando Bloom was not as lucky as he got the night's biggest sliming honor. Rihanna kept herself dry with her umbrella-ella-ella while her co-presenter Brendan Fraser got some of the sticky green stuff all over himself. Love seeing Shia and Harrison together on stage, but really, Mr. LaBeouf needs to figure out the hair — not good. Ashlee and Pete made fun of their mutual love of eyeliner while Cameron Diaz graduated from winning the burp contest to taking home the Wannabe award. Fun fun all around.

Casual Rules on the Kids' Choice Awards Orange Carpet


Nickelodeon hosted the 2008 Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday night, and similar to last year, the big stars — like Will Smith — brought their families for a stroll down the orange carpet. Wannabe Award winner Cameron Diaz, America Ferrera and Ashlee Simpson were just a few of the ladies who got girlie in dresses, while Rihanna and Abigail Breslin went more casual in jeans. Check out Fab's coverage of the ladies' looks, as well as their Love it or Hate it polls. Even Project Runway's Christian Siriano was on hand to watch the fashion parade. Not quite the Oscars red carpet, but it looked like everyone dressed for a fun — or slimy — time.

Madonna Wants to Save Britney


Madonna did her usual post-workout walk all the way home (more like down the street) to her home in London. The singer is starting her Hard Candy promo tour and it included a radio interview the other day where she dishes on the title of her album, the infamous B12 shot with JT, and what kind of music her kids listen to. Madonna said Lourdes loves Britney and then they spoke about how the paparazzi is making life difficult for Brit. Madonna even declared to the host, "Let's go save her." You got to love that she clearly still cares about the younger pop star. You can listen to the whole interview here and expect a lot more from Madonna this month and this summer when she said she'd be living in NYC.
