Paul McCartney has hinted that he and Ringo Starr may put together a new version of The Beatles for the London Olympic Games opening ceremony.  According to The Sun organisers want McCartney and Ringo on stage and to appear with other big British acts.  Some are even suggesting that George Harrison and John Lennon could be represented by their sons.

RadarOnline is reporting that the sixth season of "Celebrity Rehab" on VH1 will be the last for a while. A source connected to the show says: "The decision was made to put the show on hiatus because Dr. Drew Pinsky is just too busy with other and new projects to continue to do the show." It's being said that Dr. Drew would love to revisit doing the show again in the future when he has the time and that he really enjoyed doing the show, even though it could be "very emotionally grueling at times." Cast members of the current season include Michael Lohan, Amy Fisher, and Bai Ling.

According to the New York Post, the self described actor who kicked his way into the famed Ed Sullivan Theater and trashed the studio lobby says he doesn't remember the incident and "almost came to tears" when he realized what he had done. James Whittemore, 22, of Manhattan was caught on surveillance video urinating on one of the theater lobby's glass doors and then kicking it and breaking the glass. On the tape, Whittemore can be seen using a velvet-rope stanchion inside the lobby to smash the theater's other two glass doors. He eventually turned his wrath on an old box office, where he allegedly smashed a printer. Whittemore has been charged with burglary and criminal mischief.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to the big screen will be in a western called "Last Stand." Deadline reports that he'll play the sheriff of a Texas border town who has to decide whether to stand up to members of a drug cartel.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. literally has money to burn -- and proved it by setting a $100 bill on FIRE inside an Atlanta nightclub this weekend. Floyd was partying with Lil Kim and Gucci Mane at the Velvet Room and Floyd was rolling with STACKS of hundred dollar bills.  Did you know that it was illegal to burn money?  If the Feds decide to pursue an investigation, Floyd could face up to six months behind bars, and, ironically, a $100 fine.

ABC and the producers behind "Desperate Housewives" could decide in a few weeks if the show's upcoming eighth season will be its last. Creator, Marc Cherry and executive producer Bob Daily are both signed to remain with the series through the season, as well as a potential ninth season. But rumblings have started that the producers and network may decide to go out with a bang this year rather than stretch things. Nothing's been decided yet. It's all going to depend on how the rating go this season.  If the ratings continue to fall, it could be the end of the show.

Bravo's "The Millionaire Matchmaker" is heading back to Los Angeles for its fifth season, set to debut August 18th.  This season, Tori Spelling and Jenny McCarthy will help dish out the tough love for Stanger's well-heeled roster of clients.

Jessica is originally from Marietta, GA! I am probably one of the only real "Atlantans" left! I love Atlanta because there is always something going on, and it's just close enough to the beach to get away for a weekend.
