It's beginning to look like Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel may be getting
back together. According to various reports, the couple have been "quietly
seeing each other again."  Seems like Biel never wanted to break up in the first
place and Justin has most likely realized single life is not what it's cracked
up to be." The two were seen together last Sunday in Toronto where Biel is
shooting the "Total Recall" remake. The former couple took a leisurely bike ride
around the city after having breakfast together at a local restaurant.  Justin
and Jessica had been together for four years but were on a break for the last
five months.

Here's a new piece of future trivia for you...  This particular event just set a
new record of tweets per second...  The moment came at the 2011 MTV Video Music
Awards when Beyonce, at the end of her performance, opened the tuxedo top of her
costume and started rubbing her already bulging pregnant tummy.  It was the first time
any announcement of her pregnancy was made.  Twitter confirms the
barrage that topped out at 8,868 Tweets per second. That number topped previous
Twitter records set by Women's World Cup soccer, the royal wedding and the death
of Osama bin Laden.  Overall, MTV claims more than 3 million VMA-related tweets
went out during the broadcast.

"Modern Family" star Ed O'Neill received a star on the  Hollywood Walk of Fame
on Tuesday.  His TV wives, Sofia Vergara from "Modern Family" and Katey Sagal
from "Married ... With Children" were on hand for the ceremony. And in a lovely
coincidence, O'Neill's star will be outside a shoe store on Hollywood Boulevard.

Actress, Daryl Hannah was cuffed arrested during an oil pipeline protest in
front of the White House on Tuesday during a protest against big oil.  She and
several other protesters refused to move from the sidewalk in front of the White
House after being told to leave three times by White House police. According to
Hannah, "Sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice your freedom for a greater
freedom. And we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that
fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future."

A court ruled Tuesday that actor Jon Cryer must continue paying child support to
his ex-wife of $8,000 a month, even though she has custody of their child only
34% of the time.  Jon started battling over the amount of child support he had
to pay back in 2009. According to the court, "Although Jon may have found the
situation unfair, the primary focus must remain on the child's well-being, not
the parents' feelings."

Director, Steven Spielberg and horror writer, Stephen King are joining forces to
create a new drama series for Showtime based on King's book, "Under The Dome".
The story revolves around locals at a Maine vacation spot who battle one another
when a force field suddenly surrounds their town and cuts them off from the rest
of the world.  The project has not yet announced an air date.

Three-time "Survivor" contestant Rupert Boneham has opened an exploratory
committee to seek the Libertarian nomination for governor of Indiana. Boneham
questions whether the major-party candidates really understand Hoosiers' daily
lives. Boneham never won on "Survivor," but did win a million-dollar prize on
"Survivor All-Stars" as fans' favorite contestant. He used the money to start
the "Rupert's Kids" program for at-risk Indianapolis teenagers and young adults.
Boneham says on his website he'll make a final decision on the race in the next
few weeks.

Courtney Thorne-Smith, who played Alan's crude girlfriend, Lindsey, on "Two and
A Half Men" is set to reprise her role during the 9th season.  The last time we
saw Lindsey, Alan had accidentally burned down her house and was convinced that
she was secretly seeing Charlie behind his back.  Like most of the details about
the show's upcoming season, her storyline is being kept under wraps.

Guess who is sitting next to Hugh Laurie in the slammer when "House" returns on
October 3rd? Jaleel White! "Urkel" on Family Matters!  The prison-set House
opener, entitled "20 Vicodin"” picks up a year after the events of May’s finale
and also features a guest star Michael Paré as the warden.

Here's a non-story Justin Bieber story for you... The Biebs was involved in a
minor car crash in Los Angeles Tuesday, when a Honda Civic collided with his
expensive black Ferrari. Police told Access Hollywood that the 17-year-old
singer was driving his Ferrari at the time of the accident and had his assistant
riding with him. Witnesses to the accident told celeb news website, TMZ, the
Honda "tapped" Bieber's Ferrari so gently that there was no need for either
driver to exchange details.
