It appears Katie Couric may be stepping down from her role as "CBS Evening News" anchor when her contract ends in June, but word is that she may be making a move into a permanent spot on "60 Minutes." The New York Post reports that Couric has received an offer for the Sunday magazine show, but only if she agrees to stay on for a daytime talk show with CBS. "60 Minutes" reporter Scott Pelley has reportedly agreed to take over for Couric's Evening News seat.

Justin Bieber is NOT headed to rehab. Reuters news stretched a bit far with this headline: "Justin Bieber headed for rehab: opinion poll."

Now That's pressure.

George Clooney has been called to testify in the trial of Italian premier, Silvio Berlusconi.  While Clooney has no idea why, its apparently because the Moroccan teenager with whom Berlusconi is accused of having improper relations with, once said that she saw Clooney and his girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, at one of Berlusconi's parties.  In February, an Italian newspaper published a denial from Canalis, who said she and Clooney had never attended one of Berlusconi's parties. Clooney says, "It seems odd since I've only met Berlusconi once and that was in an attempt to get aid into Darfur." The trial is set to begin on April 6 in Milan.

You know all this "who did the dancing" bit on "Black Swan" is just to bring attention to the release of the film on DVD, right?   So here's the final... Sarah Lane, who did the stunt dancing for Natalie Portman wants some recognition. Maybe if she would have been thanked at the Oscars, perhaps?  Lane wants people to know that it takes more than just one year of study to become a prima ballerina.  Now Mila Kunis is coming forward to say that Natalie worked her butt off and reminds people that Portman never tried to give the impression that she didn't receive help. "We all had safety nets.  No one ever denied it." Like I said, much ado about nothing...except sales.

"Dancing With The Stars" pro dancer, Cheryl Burke, says she was against Chris Brown appearing on their show on Tuesday night, especially after he lost his temper and broke a window in the set of "Good Morning America".  "As a victim of domestic violence, I don't agree with him coming on the show," said Burke, "but it's out of my control."

Gunn says everyone was happy to change their style and appreciate their new looks.

The hair which was recently chopped off from the pop star's head, is going on tour!  The hair sold for more than $40,000 during a special charity auction on eBay -- and now, it's making special appearances around the country. Currently, the hair, in a clear plexiglass box, is on display t Lucky Strike Lanes in Miami.   Fans of the Biebs can pose with the hairball as long as they make a donation for the tsunami relief effort in Japan.  Reportedly, fans have been lining up for hours...

Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett is getting tired of people talking about her boobs on "Dancing With The Stars"...On Monday's show, Len Goodman and Bruno Tangolie both mentioned the large size of her breasts.  Kendra says the size of her boobs are just perfect and if anyone ought to be talking about big boobs, they should be talking about the pair that Wendy Williams has to dance with...or Kirstie Alley! Kendra says the judges should be criticizing their dancing, not the size of any their breasts.
