The Hollywood Reporter says that  the Fox drama "24"is expected in movie theaters sometime in 2012.  Really.   The news comes from producer, Brian Grazer who sent out this tweet on Monday.   "Got off the phone with Kiefer yesterday and we are very excited about producing the '24' movie for next year."    Word of creating a "24" movie have been swirling  since the show left television in 2010 after nine seasons. 

Justin Bieber has been  nominated for a Webby Award. The awards are given out annually for the best Web content and voting is now open for 2011's nominees.  Justin gets his nod for his "Justin Bieber Takes Over Funny Or Die" video.  Also nominated was current "Dancing with the Stars" competitor Ralph Macchio for his "Wax on F*** off with Ralph Macchio" clip.   Actress Isabella Rosselini's "Green Porno" -- in which the actress explores the sex lives of bugs also scored a nomination in the "Experimental and Weird" category.

According to Horizon Media research, Oprah Winfrey is asking $1 million dollars for a 30-second ad on her May 25th finale.That’s more than last year’s finales of ABC's Lost ($900,000) and Fox's 24 ($650,000), despite Oprah having a smaller audience (about 7 million viewers) than either of those shows.   While CBS’ Everybody Loves Raymond was able to command $1.2 million, it was the finale of "Friends" that takes the top spot with the asking price of nearly $2 million per :30 seconds.

 

Also making the rounds to say goodbye to Oprah will be the president himself, Barack Obama and the first lady, Michelle.    Winfrey's last show is on May 25th.   Oprah's interview with President and Mrs. Obama will air on May 2nd. Oprah, a fellow Chicagoan, campaigned on Obama's run for president in 2008 and since then has attended several official celebrations. If you remember, during a previous sit-down with Oprah in 2009, President Obama gave himself a B+ as Commander-in-Chief.

Bachelorette, Ali Federosky may have given us a hint of when she is going to marry her fiancee, Roberto Martinez...  A photo, placed on Ali's facebook page shows her and Roberto sitting together with their backs to the camera. Side by side, their jersey numbers read 8 21. Could this suggest that they are going to tie the knot on August 21st? 

Another clue is that the names on their jersey's read across as Ali Martinez which will be Ali's future name!

Thought I would share this photo since it spells out my future ;) Ali captioned the photo. Love going to baseball games with my man."

 

And in more Ali news, Fedotowsky, 26, will join co-hosts Adrianne Curry, Vivica A. Fox and style expert, Nick Verreos to host a new Style half hour series.   The untitled show will feature in-studio

 



Big shots at "American Idol" say they don't believe the claim of an audience member who says she was told to leave the front row and move to the back because she was  "just too big, too heavy to be in front."  Nineteen year old Ashley Kauffman and six of her friends were some of the first ones to arrive for the April 7th show.   According to communications spokesman, Manfred Westphal, the show had 6 great seats on the floor; however, the seats were in 2 groups of 3.
Westphal says, Kauffman was not sent alone to the back of the studio, instead were seated 4 rows behind their friends, "directly in camera shot, in some of the best seats in the house."  "The allegations are simply untrue" he says.


Gwyneth Paltrow will be back next week on "Glee" as Holly Holliday and she'll be singing Turning Tables from Adele's new album, 21.

After four seasons as one of the hosts on "Wipeout", Jill Wagner will be leaving the show at the end of the season in order to focus on her acting career.  Producers are currently conducting a search to find her replacement as host along side John Henson and John Anderson.
