Certainly we all know Miley is no longer that sweet teen we’ve all adored as Hannah Montana. She’s all grown up and by golly, she has indeed grown into a lovely young woman in her own element. Sure enough she’s going to have boy issues at some point, as the young lass tries to keep a good balance on her career and personal life.
As it is, Miley is down under in Oz land doing her Gypsy heart tour with at least 7 more stops and shows under her arm to complete. The juice comes straight off from Miley’s older brother Trace who confirms his sister is officially back in the arms of her ex-boyfriend Liam Hemsworth.
The couple called it quits August of last year but fans have seen them photographed together again last November. Word has it they have been doing the run about with the on-off thing leaving fans wondering if they can even keep up with their relationship.
Her on and off 21 year old beau is currently on set break from his upcoming movie “ The Hunger Games”. The movie has him playing next to Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lawrence with the crew still filing in North Carolina.
While on her tour in Sydney, shutterbugs have spotted Miley and Liam last Sunday just hanging like old times . Being an Australian, we’re guessing Liam found this a perfect opportunity to show Miley around his native city. They were seen browsing at a Far East- style home décor and clothing store and a were followed onto a noodle restaurant chain having lunch. If they manage not to split up in the next few weeks, Liam may just as well catch Miley on the last leg of her tour down under in Perth on July 2.
Aaah, young love. Such a sweet time to revel in confusion and that one big quest even us grown ups still are clueless about … we all want to know what love is! But, hey it’s all about the journey and it’s pit stops that make the adventure worth writing about in our memoirs . Til then we’re crossing our fingers and hope the couple sort out this little thing called love.

Jackass will never be the same again. If you’re one of those that took to the humor of the famed Jackass movies, then this will certainly be a sad read for all of you. Ryan Dunn died in a car crash Monday morning of June 20. The 34 year old daredevil and star of Jackass was in his 2007 Porche 911 GT3 when it was found off the road in the woods in West Goshen Township, Pennsylvania. Police reports have placed an unidentified passenger along with Dunn who both suffered fatal injuries from the accident at around 3am.
Word has it the accident may have been speed related but cops can’t confirm if alcohol was involved. However, Dunn’s twitter has a picture of him drinking with friends late Sunday.
Indeed truly a sad day in the MTV office with the tragic loss of a beloved MTV family member. Ryan Dunn has been with MTV for more than a decade. In a statement, MTV Networks Music/Films Group president Van Toffler expressed his deepest condolences to the family and friends of Ryan Dunn. “ The Jackass brother will never be the same.”
His brand of humor has won many hearts with the way he made people laugh. Just like that old middle school friend you had, who never seemed to tire of his enthusiastic approach to life. One of Dunn’s infamous scenes in Jackass 2002, was of him shoving a toy car up his bum. I know, not many find that pretty funny but for those who do, Ryan Dunn will surely be missed.

Posted by katy as Jennifer Aniston, News, Tid Bits & News, Who's Dating Who at 10:54 AM UTC on Jun, 17 2011
After her break up with John Mayer in 2008, it seems pretty odd how Jennifer Aniston had remained tight lipped on her dating life, and her beaus...until recent events. Seemingly, Jen found herself hooking up with actor Justin Theroux in the set of Wanderlust September 2010 and eventually reconnecting ties last March.
Jennifer Aniston and her new beau went public with their budding romance just quite recently and little did we know they both have already upped their romance game plan.
True enough, the couple are now shacked up in Jen’s LA home.
Theroux is indeed living in Aniston’s place and now basks in the limelight of having the actress introduce him as her boyfriend.
Who is this new man in Jen’s life? He clearly has won her heart. The 39 yr old Theroux has quite some good feathers on his hat being an actor, director and screen writer for a bunch of memorable projects in both TV and the big screen. His latest that being Wanderlust where he plays opposite Jennifer Aniston.
Reports have it that 42 year old Jen already had her eye set on Theroux from the get go. She would often hold parties at her place with him and eventually things started to bloom and sizzle between the co-stars.
Theroux has been seen spending a lot of days and nights at Jen’s place in LA and is considering spending the summer there as well.
Prior to their budding relationship, Justin is known to have kept a 14 year relationship with now ex gf and costume designer Heidi Bivens. They lived together for 6 years at an apartment in NYC but just last weekend or so, Bivens has moved out. Theroux is known to keep a room at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont, up until he took up residence at Jen’s uber sleek and chic home.
Love is a mystery, even to those who seem to have been in the game for quite a long time. I guess Theroux’s unstoppable growing facial hair may yet hold the key answer to all this?

Nothing else could ever spell sexy than a man in uniform. Especially, if you knew it was royalty serving his country in battle. Well, you get the complete royal sexy package of such a sight in Prince Harry.
The 23 yr old Royal Prince has just recently qualified as an Apache helicopter pilot and may be headed back to combat in war-torn Afghanistan soon. Having served in the Helmand province in 2008, Prince Harry had little choice in getting extracted after endless media haunting compromised his location.
As of this date, hushed reports and whispers out of Britain have pegged another deployment for Prince Harry when his squadron returns to Afghanistan for another tour next year. The palace as well as Britain’s Ministry of Defence remains tight lipped on this topic, saying how they cannot comment on the deployment of individual service personnel.
A spokesperson for the Clarence house reiterates on this issue with a statement : “ Harry is an army pilot and will deploy wherever the army chooses to send him. His course finishes in 2012 and after that his deployment will be a matter for the army chain of command.”
The young prince has always been keen on his duties of service and, truth of the matter is, he does look quite sexy while serving his country in battle. The once notorious royal blood is now much more refined and strapping in his ways. When asked about his military aspirations, Prince Harry gracefully quips, “ My goal is to serve my country like everybody else in the British Forces.:
After all the royal wedding bliss of his older brother, Prince Harry may be looking at deployment as early as the summer of 2012. Marriage may yet be in the far side of things with the royal bachelor for now, and his commitment to service may keep him in the market for a little while longer.

The price of fame and fortune can be steep for any celebrity at any point in their lives. Some may be lucky to have been able to gain from their stature , and yet some … fall in too deep to even fish themselves out. And yet there are those who just happen to be in the area and get snagged.
This is what may have been the case with British Musician Joss Stone. BBC News reports of two men who are currently held by authorities on suspicion of conspiracy to rob and probably murder Joss Stone in her Devon home. Both suspects are from Manchester, England.
Sources say that neighbours noticed a suspicious looking vehicle parked on the premises of the singer’s residence and made it a point to call and report the activity to the police. Although no one knows if Stone was in her home when the men were arrested, but the sultry singer confirms she was aware of them and that she was absolutely fine and trying to get on with her life as normal.
Police reports have compelling evidence of a murderous plot having found swords, ropes, forensic style overalls and a body bag in possession of the two suspects ages, 33 and 30. Aside from these, the men also had detailed maps and aerial photographs of Stone’s rural home.
The Detective Inspector handling the case reassures they are currently carrying out patrols and would like to make it known that no properties have been robbed and no individuals have been harmed.

Posted by katy as Odds & Ends, Russell Crowe, Tid Bits & News at 3:36 PM UTC on Jun, 14 2011
Russell Crowe is in a bit of a hot spot after tweeting much about his views on circumcision. His vocal opinion came after a fan asked him about this issue. His reply on Twitter was pretty much how we all know Russell Crowe and his candid, non- amorous, rough around the edges expressive ways. He tweets on circumcision as barbaric and stupid and questions the matter on our position to correct nature. “ Is it real that God requires a donation of foreskin? Babies are perfect.”
Although the Oscar winning actor professed his genuine love for his Jewish friends, he has expressed his desire for them to stop this tradition that is backed up by centuries of faithful following.
Crowe writes. “ I love my Jewish friends. I love the apples and the honey and the funny little hats, but stop cutting your babies. I will always stand for the perfection of babies. I will always believe in God, not man’s interpretation of what God requires. Last of it, if you feel it is your right to cut things off your babies, please unfollow and f—off. I’ll take attentive parenting over barbarism.”
Eli Roth, comes to Russell Crowe’s defence saying the actor is a great person and respectful of all religions and is not anti-Semitic as most publications have been suggesting due to Crowes unguarded thoughts.
Taking it upon his good side, Russell deleted his previous tweets and posted an apology. His tweet now reads, “ I have a deep and abiding love for all people of all nationalities. I’m very sorry that i have said things on here that have caused distress. My personal beliefs aside, I realize that some will interpret this debate as me mocking the rituals and traditions of others. I am very sorry.”

Posted by katy as Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Tid Bits & News at 3:40 PM UTC on Jun, 13 2011
We all know how consequences of our actions sometimes catches up to us no matter how much the price we’ve already paid for it. With the media gone crazy on the plight of Lindsay Lohan and her constant battles with authorities, it is pretty easy for other celebrities to poke fun at her self-inflicted misfortunes.
While on the set of her reality TV show, The world according to Paris, Paris Hilton jabbed a rather painful joke at Lindsay Lohan. A woman asked Paris for a pair of earrings she was wearing, and although she agreed to give it away, the heiress was quoted as saying. “ I’m not Lindsay. If I were Lindsay, I’d be stealing the earrings and not giving them away.”
Her rather insightful joke comes after Lindsay Lohan’s arrest for theft of a necklace from a high end boutique called Kanoffie & Co in LA. Lohan has most certainly broken her 2007 probation which was given after her arrest for DUI due to the theft charges filed against her last April.
The once shining child star, was cast in a shadow of a steep fine and 3 years probation after pleading no contest to the charges of theft. She is currently serving 480 hrs of community service and 120 days in jail. She is to turn herself in on June 17.
The 24 yr old actress has begun her community service last week and shall be serving her jail term under house arrest.
How sad indeed for such a beautiful face be so riddled with poor decisions and judgement in a life that expects her to be on top of her game. She admits to many of her poor decisions but easily quips she is a fighter and is aware of how much work she needs to get done to enable her audience to shower her with the same respect.

Posted by katy as Movie News, Movies & Films, New Releases, Orlando Bloom, Tid Bits & News at 12:42 PM UTC on Jun, 09 2011
Finally, the long wait on the prequel to The Lord of The Rings Trilogy is underway and currently filming in New Zealand. Orlando Bloom signs up and joins the cast of Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit” prequel projects scheduled for release in 2012 and 2013.
Although Bloom’s previous elf character isn’t written in J.R.R Tolkien’s original novel, Jackson is excited to reveal that Middle Earth will once more revel in Legolas’ presence. The director can’t wait to work with Bloom and quips that as much as 10 years has passed by since Lord of The Rings brought Orlando’s stardom to great heights, he doesn’t look a day older than the day he first wowed audiences as Legolas. That in itself, makes him a wonderful elf indeed!
With 14 years sitting on the drawing board, The “Hobbit” prequel movies finally gets a move on things after getting buried in some set backs. New Line Cinema had Peter Jackson filing suit against them for claims of lost revenue related to The Fellowship of the Ring.
Taking on Guillermo del Torro as it’s new director three year later, conflicts in scheduling forced him to drop out of the project in May 2010 bringing Jackson back in his director’s chair in October of 2010.
As if that was enough hoopla surrounding the films, union disputes in New Zealand put the project on a tipped edge of relocating filming all the way to Europe. And just to put the cherry on the delay icing, Jackson suffered from a perforated ulcer and had to undergo surgery.
Now back in the good saddle, Jackson has his Facebook page beaming with images of him hanging out on the set of this much awaited prequel. Cate Blanchett, Elijah Wood, Ian McKellan and Andy Serkis are also reliving their previous roles from the epic trilogy of The Lord of The Rings. The Hobbit prequel has its plot centred on the characters of Bilbo and Frodo.
I wonder if they will wear ruby rings.

Posted by katy as Katy Perry, News, Russell Brand, Tid Bits & News at 2:21 PM UTC on May, 24 2011
A classic example of your sordid past catching up with you, is Russel Brand getting deported from Japan when he came along to support singer and wife Katy Perry for her Japan tour. Based on the pop star’s tweets , “ So … my husband just got deported from Japan. I am so. sad. I brought him all this way to show him my favorite place.”
Russel Brand, who married Perry in 2010, has been in a number of scuffles with authorities battling with his drug and alcohol addiction. Having been arrested quite a few times, he has recently had another bout with authorities for allegedly attacking the paparazzi at an LA airport last year.
No comment or feedback from the singer and her husband as to the reason behind Japanese officials for denying entry to the British actor/comedian. The only words Katy Perry mentioned regarding this, was due to some “priors”.
Brand didn’t same fazed with the incident, as his Twitter page had him posting, “ Planning escape from Japanese custody, It’s bloody hard to dig a tunnel with a chopstick.”
Katy Perry had no choice but to go ahead with her show saying that she still loves her Japanese fans.
Perry and Brand’s marriage skyrocketed them into being one of Hollywood’s high profile couples, even with Russell Brand’s notorious past and criminal history. Quite surprising to know at this point that Katy Perry grew up with parents who are both evangelical ministers. In an interview for her cover spread in Vanity Fair magazine, the pop singer recalls her childhood with her mother reading the bible to her in place of the usual children’s books.
With her success in the music industry, and carving her own brand of sexy pop music and bold retro revealing outfits, Perry admits that her relationship with her parents now have come to a coexisting crossroad where they no longer try to change each other and all agree to disagree.
She speaks of her relationship with husband Russell Brand as having no dull moment together. Merely laughing at the incident when pics of her minus her usual dolled up face leaked out to the public. Hubby Russell thought it funny to take a picture of his wife in bed sans make-up.
And on that note, in case you’re shopping for a celebrity home, Katy Perry and Russell Brand’s Los Feliz home is on the market for a lovely price tag of $3.395 million.

For all you Buffy fans, guess who’s back from the vampire grave? After an 8 year break, Sarah Michelle Gellar resurrects onto the boob tube for CW network with its drama series “Ringer”.
Although Gellar had already considered a TV comeback two years ago, she made it clear that she wanted to get back on cable. The actress also wanted to make sure that her fans would love whatever she does on TV as much as they loved growing up with Buffy. Her new project seems to hold a lot of promise but is yet to prove its boob tube appeal with Buffy’s loyal fans.
The new CW series features Gellar’s role as a twin. A recovering addict who is estranged from her wealthy twin sister, and goes on the run when she witnessed a murder. The story line boasts of a juicy plot and reveals a lot of shocking twists. This project was previously made for CBS but they passed it on to its sister network CW. Although the series is still in progress and only has the pilot on the table, it remains unsure if it will run as a full series.
After her stint with “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and the show came to a close in 2003, Gellar dipped her toes in “ The Grudge” and did some voice over for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”. She also married long time boyfriend Freddie Prinze Jr in September of 2001. The couple now have a daughter.

Paris never fails to bring that rosy colored hue in one’s life …and loves. And true enough for Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen, “ Midnight in Paris” brought them together in both in reel and real time.
This Woody Allen film co-stars Rachel McAdams opposite Owen Wilson and Michael Sheen. Following months of guessing who’s hooked up with who … McAdams and Sheen have finally confirmed their relationship. The couple’s endless midnight walks, talks , laughs and shared meals while filming in Paris, blossomed into a real friendship where they both enjoyed getting to know each other in the streets of Notre Dame.
Admitting that they have been a couple for a while now, Sheen speaks of Rachel as a fantastic actress. The 42 yr old British actor seems to be smitten by McAdams, as he describes her to be a genuine, stunningly beautiful and talented lady. They were seen holding hands in Toronto last November during the Toronto International Film Festival, triggering rumors that they were both dating.
Rachel McAdams has been known to have dated her on screen love ,Ryan Gosling in the much noted tear jerker film “The Notebook”, and suave hunkie Josh Lucas. However, the 34 yr old actress says she has been disillusioned with love clearly based on her parent’s happy marriage.
Michael Sheen on the other hand, seems to have been on a type cast of vampire films. Playing the role of Aro, the leader of the Volturi. He also starred with ex girlfriend Kate Beckinsale in “Underworld”, whom he has an 11 year old daughter with.
The Cannes International Film Festival had most of its notorious critics wrapped in laughter and applause over “Midnight in Paris” which also stars Adrien Brody and Marion Cotillard.

It’s now been almost a month since Prince William and Catherine Middleton tied the knot, but they are still very much at the center of things.

Guess who’s growing his top gun locks into a rocker coif? Tom Cruise is now sporting a rather dishevelled do in preparation for his new project “ Rock of Ages”. Yeap, you read that right, he’s diving in for the musicals. After his dancing antics, he’s pretty sure to get into the singing soon.
Tom just recently received the Humanitarian Award at the 2011 Wiesenthal Center National Tribute Dinner in Beverly Hills. The Jewish organization prouds itself for its human rights advocacy on confronting racism. The actor was cited and honored for being a dedicated philantrophist.
Now back to the music, 48 year old Cruise is playing the role of Stacie Jaxx and excitedly claims he has been learning a lot of things lately to do his role some good justice. Having no musical experience with a guitar, he has been juggling lessons between electric guitar, acoustic guitar and singing! Kinda hard to imagine Tom Cruise belting out in screams and a pair of pleather tight jeans. Ha! Rock of Ages is slated to start shooting this month.
You gotta hand it to the guy who jumps on a couch wrapped in a total lovestruck high and marries this doe-eyed long lithed cutie who’s idolized him for years. And then, he buys his own sonogram machine to monitor his first born, yet still manages to flip allover along his new age beliefs. The man certainly has his own thing going.
Giving a bit of a hint on Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Tom Cruise is definitely keen to see how his co-produced film will reflect a new and distinct impression from its past sequels. The movie is scheduled for it’s release in December 2011.

Looks like wedding bells continue to ring in London for it’s celebrities, as Paul McCartney announces his engagement to Nancy Shevell. Although, no further details have been given for specific dates or whatnot, the singer popped the question during a romantic candle lit dinner. The couple has been frequently seen together gracing celebrity events and posing for pics at a gala evening at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. Noticeably, the ring still hasn’t made a public appearance.
Known for keeping a tight lip on his private life, 68 year old McCartney has been dating 51 year old Shevell for nearly four years after the rather bitter divorce of the famous Beatle with then wife, Heather Mills.
Receiving honorable knighthood from Queen Elizabeth, Sir Paul McCartney has 29 years of solid marriage to American photographer Linda Eastman. Paul admits they have only ever spent 11 nights apart during their entire marriage but sadly enough, breast cancer took her away from this wedded bliss in 1998. Their happy union gave them four children, one of which is well known designer Stella McCartney.
Love took McCartney on a second adventure with his marriage to British former model, Heather Mills in 2002 and gave them a daughter. However, the adventure turned sour for the couple and eventually led to a bitter divorce in 2006 and a legal squabble over money in 2008.
To date, Sir Paul McCartney seems to be basking in love with the Nancy Shevell, who happens to be a distinguished board member of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority. We certainly wish one of the wealthiest musicians in Britain another shot at bliss. With his fortune estimated to tip at $811 million, what more could he ask for?

In a statement, The American Red Cross has expressed their deep appreciation for the actor’s unfailing and selfless generous support through donating his time, talent and money to assist those in need.
Spade hopes that his move will encourage others to join him in his efforts to support the American Red Cross .

His website, TorpedosAgainstTornados.com promises to send any donor who contributes $100 or more, a personally autographed baseball from the controversial 45 year old actor.
