Silly Rabbit: Sharon Finegan has changed her name to Bunny because she loves rabbits and works at a London animal sanctuary. She says, “I’m really looking forward to saying, ‘I, Bunny Sharon Alice Finegan’ in my vows on my wedding day. It should be a lot of fun. It seems the right thing to do as my friends have called me Bunny for a long time. The idea came about when we were feeding the rabbits. Morgan suggested, as a joke, that I should change my name to Bunny as that is his pet name for me. I thought it would be a good idea to do it properly. I love animals but rabbits have always been my very favourite pet so the name Bunny suits me through and through. The hardest part will be changing my official documents but I can’t wait to see my new name on them – especially given what I do with the rabbit sanctuary. You can actually call yourself anything you like, as long as it’s not rude.”
Mariah Carey is going to judge American Idol. She is allegedly making $18 million per season. The show is going to allow friends and family to nominate singers without their knowledge by submitting performance videos. Secret film crews will notify contestants they have been chosen to audition.
JLo says, ''She's a musician for a long time she has a lot of experience. And it's that experience you offer them at the end of the day, the contestants just want to get better and grow through the process. There is pressure as far as the live shows, but you know what? Just remember you're there at the end of the day to help those contestants grow and to get to the end and to get to that finale. And whenever I thought about that it always made my job a little less pressure-filled and a littler easier, because it's not about you. It wasn't about me, it was about them. It was about helping them and that always made it a lot of fun for me. I'm going to miss it a lot.''
Simon Cowell says, "I'm happy for her. I like Mariah. I think she's going to find it difficult to say no... She's sweet."

Anne Hathaway plans to marry next year. She says, “We’re getting married, probably sometime next year-ish. Not this year, its too big with two films coming out. I haven’t started planning yet. I was filming Les Mis when we decided to do it, and there was no way I could think about anything wedding-related with my head in the space it was in then. I’ve been so busy since then, I’ve not even decided what sort of ceremony I want. I hope to be a mother and I want to find the balance between having a really happy home life and a fulfilling career.''
Katie Holmes has $40 million worth of interview and movie offers on the table. A source tells NOW magazine, “She can’t believe it. She’s had calls from US movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who wants to put her in a sure-fire Oscar-worthy movie, calls about a Dawson’s Creek reunion and offers from fashion and cosmetics giants offering her blank checks to be the face of their brand. Everyone wants a piece of Katie now she’s stood up to the might of Tom and his insidious ‘religion’. Tom was so controlling he harmed her career rather than helped it. Now Katie’s free to become a star in her own right.”
Demi Moore is devastated by Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis' new relationship. A source tells RADAR Online, Demi is devastated that Ashton has moved on so quickly and is dating Mila. She is beyond heartbroken. Even though Ashton cheated on her all the time, it was with random girls, it wasn’t a relationship like it is with Mila and that is what is killing Demi now. Seeing photos of him kissing another woman is too much for her to handle, it's like having her nose rubbed in it time and time again. She kind of knew it was definitely over between them but I think she was still holding out a little hope for a reconciliation — now he's actually dating someone else she knows that's not going to happen. Each time Demi hears about Ashton and Mila it breaks her heart. She really loved him despite the flaws in their marriage and to see him dating someone new, who is so much younger than she is, is like a knife in her heart.'' |

Jermaine, Randy and Janet Jackson have been barred from their mother's home after attempting to remove Michael's children from the house. A source tells RADAR Online, "It was just total chaos when Jermaine, Randy and Janet descended on the house. Randy was telling Prince Michael he had to leave with them and that he had a private jet chartered to take them all to Arizona to see Katherine. Prince firmly held his ground and told Randy he wasn't going anywhere with them. The security detail prevented the three of them from taking the kids out of state. The cops had to be called and Janet kept saying they had a legal right to be at the house when in fact they don't. The rental house is in the name of Michael Jackson's estate, so they were told to leave immediately. For the time being, they won't be allowed to come back to the rental house and guards at the security gate have been told under no circumstances are they to allow them in. Paris was absolutely hysterical and kept telling her uncles to just bring her grandmother home. The plan to take the kids out of the house was going to be a publicity stunt. The kids were going to be paraded into the house in Arizona where Katherine is staying and those photos would be published on a website favored by Randy Jackson."
Paris Jackson Tweeted: "8 days and counting . something is really off , this isn’t like her at all .. i wanna talk directly to my grandmother!!<|3"
Another source says, "Katherine is very well. Janet was behind the whole thing – she felt that Katherine needed medical help and was desperate for her to get some bed rest."
Kate Gosselin wants to do a dating show. A source says, "She is ready to get back into the dating game. She is ready to find love again and to move on from her past. She's excited, this is a chance to start something new. She finds it hard to meet men in her day to day life," the source continued, "and so a dating show will give her exactly the help she needs. She is willing to travel around the country in order to meet Mr. Right. She looks fantastic and she's in a really great space. She's in fantastic shape because of all her marathon training, this feels like the right time for her."

Justin Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, ripped the producers of CSI for calling Justin a brat. He told Rolling Stone, "The producer gets on (the phone) -- he's a stuffy dude, and he's like, 'Justin is incredibly unprofessional. He put his hand in a cake, he locked me in a closet ...' "I said, 'Let me ask you a question. When he locked you in the closet, did you tell him you were angry?' He goes, 'No, I needed him to work, so I laughed.' And I said, 'So he saw you acknowledge his joke and say it's OK? Then you're more to blame than him. He's a kid -- he's waiting for someone to tell him where the limits are.' At the end of the day, even in his most selfish moments, you just need to point out that he's being selfish. He's more embarrassed about it than anything. When he's being a pr---, he's not being a pr--- because he's famous. He's being a pr--- because he's a kid." |
Justin Bieber held Selena Gomez's birthday party at a Beverly Hills restaurant. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “There were rose petals on the tables, which was Justin’s idea.

There was plenty of food to choose from including grilled calamari, baby spinach with sliced pears, goat cheese and candied walnuts, homemade pappardelle with lobster, grilled salmon and grilled rib-eye steak. Justin made a speech which brought tears to Selena. It was basically about how wonderful and exceptional Selena is and everyone stood up and applauded. It was very sweet,” the eyewitness continues, “There was a beautiful birthday cake for Selena along with a variety of desserts like Tiramisu, sorbet, and apple tarts.” |

Elton John spoke at the International AIDS Conference yesterday where he said, "We need more than money. We need more than medicine. We need love. What we need now is more love for the living. By all rights I shouldn't be here today. I should be dead – six foot under in a wooden box. I should have contracted HIV in the 1980s and died in the 1990s, just like [Queen lead singer] Freddie Mercury, just like [actor] Rock Hudson. Every day I wonder, how did I survive? Everyone deserves compassion. Everyone deserves dignity. Everyone, everyone, everyone deserves love. Why am I telling you this? Because the Aids disease is caused by a virus, but the Aids epidemic is not. The Aids epidemic is fuelled by stigma, violence and indifference."
