Justin Bieber Watches as Michael Jackson's Kids Cement His Legacy

Michael Jackson the man wasn't invincible. But his legacy is now solid as a rock.

The late pop icon's children imprinted some of their father's most famous accessories—his sparkly glove and shiny black shoes—in the cement in the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese Theatre today on Hollywood Boulevard.

Mom Katherine Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Chris Tucker and Justin Bieber were in attendance at the ceremony, which also featured a performance by the cast of Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour.

"It's a very good celebration and I know if Michael was here he would agree, to see all the friends and loved ones and especially his fans here to celebrate this with him," Katherine Jackson told the assembled crowd.

In addition to Jackson, Grauman's contains hand, shoe and object-prints belonging to luminaries ranging from Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint to Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogart.

"Just left the Michael Jackson ceremony...i dont get nervous usually but i was really nervous. to be with his family. he was the greatest!" Bieber tweeted afterward. "Make it trend. all of us should give him the tribute he deserved. To THE KING OF POP. Michael thank you. #MJ FOREVER -"

 

Matthew Broderick Is Playing Ferris Bueller Again?!

Oh...yeah.

That's what we said—or sang, really—when we saw a now greying-at-the-temples Matthew Broderick pulling back the curtains and marveling at the epic possibility of a beautiful day in a brand-new teaser making the rounds.

"How can I handle work on a day like today?" he wonders. Is any of this ringing a bell?

Twenty-six years after his last day off, the 49-year-old actor is reprising the role of Ferris Bueller for... Well, for what, exactly?

All we can tell you is that Broderick is playing everyone's favorite truant in a Super Bowl commercial this year for a brand that is playing it very close to the squiggle-printed sweater vest for now.

But we will have the full 60-second, Bueller...Bueller...Bueller-inspired-spot—featuring the big brand reveal—next week! And, of course, Super Bowl XLVI airs on Feb. 5.

 


Selena Gomez "Partying and Drinking" in New "Edgy" Movie

Selena Gomez is slowly shedding her good-girl image—at least on the big screen. In her next movie, you're going to see the 19-year-old former Wizards of Waverly Place starlet like you've never seen her before...

After Gomez completes her world tour in South America in about three weeks, she's off to Florida to shoot indie filmmaker Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers with James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens and Emma Roberts.

The three actresses play friends who rob a bank to help pay for their spring-break vacation. Gomez takes on the part of Faith.

"She's the little more tamed down character but also still gets a little crazy here and there," she told me at her recent UNICEF benefit at the House of Blues in West Hollywood. "She goes on spring break with her girlfriends and they end up getting into a whole mess of things. They're partying and drinking. We end up in jail."

Gomez said a part of her plan is to take a break from music to focus on her acting career. "I'm nervous," she said. "It's a little edgy, but it's fun. I fought for that role. I flew to Nashville and told him I want be a part of it."

 

Lohan sued by pedestrian allegedly struck by star

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lindsay Lohan's bad luck with cars continues after a woman who claims she was struck by the actress' sports car sued over her injuries Wednesday. Nubia Del Carmen Preza claims she was struck by Lohan's Maserati while walking through a West Hollywood intersection in September 2010.

Preza's lawsuit states she has suffered "disabling and serious personal injuries, pain, suffering and anguish" and that she is seeking damages for all her medical expenses and lost time at work. A call to her attorney, Gregory Picco, seeking additional details was not immediately returned.

It is the second lawsuit filed against Lohan this month involving an automobile mishap. A paparazzo sued Lohan Jan. 10, claiming that he was struck in January 2010 by a vehicle in which Lohan was riding. Grigor Balyan claims he was trying to shoot pictures of the actress in Hollywowhen he was hit.

Preza's lawsuit states Lohan was driving when she was hit on the afternoon of Sept. 1, 2010, at an intersection just south of the Sunset Strip. At the time, Lohan lived near the intersection.

Lohan's spokesman Steve Honig said neither Lohan nor her attorneys had been served with the lawsuit and could not comment on it.

 

911 call from Demi Moore's home to be released

The Los Angeles Times  says the Los Angeles city attorney's office has recommended that certain portions of the call be deleted to comply with federal privacy laws.

City attorney's office spokesman Frank Mateljan tells the Times that the office has reviewed the tape and has made certain recommendations.

A spokeswoman for Moore said Tuesday that the actress is seeking professional help to treat her exhaustion and improve her health. Publicist Carrie Gordon says the decision is due to the stresses in Moore's life, and she looks forward to getting well.

Moore announced in November that she had decided to end her marriage to Ashton Kutcher following news of alleged infidelity.
