Bridesmaids
Kristen Wiig is a simple Midwestern girl
who takes on the daunting, bizarre task of being her
best friend's maid of honor. Annie's life is a mess. But
when she finds out her lifetime best friend is engaged,
she simply must serve as Lillian's maid of honor. Though
lovelorn and broke, Annie bluffs her way through the
expensive and bizarre rituals. With one chance to get it
perfect, she'll show Lillian and her bridesmaids just
how far you'll go for someone you love.

No Strings Attached
Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher star in a comedy
about what happens when friends in need do the deed. Emma and Adam are life long
pals who almost ruin everything by having sex one morning. In order to protect
their friendship, they make a pact to keep their relationship strictly no
strings attached; no jealousy, no expectations, no fighting, no flowers, no baby
voices. It means they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, in whatever
public place they want, as long as they don't fall in love. The question becomes
who's going to fall first? And can their friendship survive?
The Buzz...
After a 25 year marriage as one of the nation's leading power couples in
Hollywood and politics, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria
Shriver have split up, they say in a joint statement. “This has been a time
of great personal and professional transition for each of us," they say. "After
a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion, and prayer, we came to this
decision together."
Chelsea Handler has a new man in her life! The host of Chelsea
Lately has gone public with 54 year old hotelier Andre Balazs,
who she has been dating for four months, though they first stepped out together
over the weekend in New York. Handler brought her boyfriend (who you may
recognize as Uma Thurman's ex) along as she promoted her latest
book, Lies Chelsea Handler Told Me at the Boom Boom Room.
Apparently it's not a Party in the U.S.A for Miley Cyrus
anymore. Instead of keeping things local, Miley is headed to South America and
Australia for her forthcoming Gypsy Heart Tour which is set to kick off
on April 27. "I just think right now America has gotten to a place where I don't
know if they want me to tour or not," she told Fox News. "Right now I just want
to go to the places where I am getting the most love and Australia and South
America have done that for me."
As long as they're still standing and not voted off, all the celebs on
Dancing With the Stars make the same amount each week (the winner makes
most, naturally), so when it comes to extracurricular earning, insiders tell me
Kirstie Alley is poised to profit most from this experience. "The
weight loss business is worth hundreds of millions of dollars," a friend of
Kirstie's tells me. "She has already lost 70 lbs dancing and hasn't wasted one
minute to capitalize on it." The actress, who recently launched her Organic
Liaison Weight Loss System, appeared on QVC a
few days ago and sold out in less than 15 minutes.
Al Pacino is getting back to a life of crime. The actor who was
twice nominated for the Academy Award for playing mobster Michael
Corleone in The Godfather movies, has joined the cast of Gotti:
Three Generations. He'll play Gambino crime family underboss Neil
Dellacroce.
It’s certainly been a big few days for Chris Hemsworth: The
Australian actor is the star of the number one movie in the United States thanks
to Thor’s $66 million dollar opening weekend (making it the second
biggest opening of the year after last week’s Fast Five) and has
been on the receiving end of positive reviews. And now he’s been offered the
role of the huntsman in Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman.
Fox has announced that after often tense and lengthy negotiations that
House has been renewed for an eighth season.
Gossip Girl has been renewed for a fifth season, not all its
fashionable characters will be back: Taylor Momsen, who plays
Jenny Humphrey, and Jessica Szohr, who plays Vanessa Abrams, will
not return as series regulars.
Rumours are circulating that Madonna is ready to launch her 14 year old
daughter Lourdes into the music industry. The two have reportedly
collaborated on the song It’s So Cool, with Madonna planning to use the
track on her next album.
