On the Puss in Boots Red Carpet With Antonio Banderas & Salma Hayek: Two Cool Cats!

Who would win in a fight, Puss in Boots or Zorro?

It's an age-old question, and one that our partners at Movie Fanatic had the pleasure of asking in person this weekend on the Puss in Boots red carpet.

Speaking with both Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek, who return to the big screen as the hottest couple since El Mariachi and Carolina, was a surreal experience - on the deck of Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas ship in Fort Lauderdale, no less.

Follow the link to watch the film's trailer, then check out Movie Fanatic's interview with Antonio Banderas, the most interesting man/cat in the world ...

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler Make Red Carpet Debut

Let there be no doubt: Klooney lives!

While George Clooney and Stacy Keibler were spotted together last month at the Toronto Film Festival, they managed to avoid posing for any photos as a couple, simply meeting at various times for dinners and meetings.

But the twosome stepped right into the spotlight over the weekend at the New York City premiere of The Descendants (trailer HERE), smiling for photographers on the red carpet of The Lincoln Center:

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler

Two weeks ago, Clooney and Keibler celebrated the part-time actress and former WWE Diva's birthday with a vacation in Cabo San Lucas, as Stacy Tweeted: "Chasing the last days of 'summer."

Keibler might wanna be on the lookout now for female Clooney fans that will soon be chasing her.

Padma Lakshmi vs. Adam Dell: Sides Speak Out

Padma Lakshmi is an expert in the kitchen, but the model/author has been taken to court by ex-boyfriend Adam Dell.

This venture capitalist has filed a lawsuit against the Top Chef host and is seeking custody of the pair's daughter, Krishna. At issue? How much time Dell can spend with her after she turns a year old next month.

Padma Lakshmi and Adam Dell

"Adam Dell, above all else, wants to have an active and substantial role in the upbringing of his daughter with Padma Lakshmi," his lawyer tells The New York Post. "Mr. Dell has tried his best to avoid going to court."

While a rep for Lakshmi says she wants this matter to remain private, the star's attorney, Jay D. Silverstein, has released the following statement:

"The facts in the court papers are inaccurate and misleading. Ms. Lakshmi looks forward to correcting the record in the courts, not the press. She is saddened and gravely disappointed that Mr. Dell has chosen a very public means of filing his petition with the court rather than doing so in a confidential or sealed manner which is customary in cases involving a very young child.

"Ms. Lakshmi believes that the manner in which the papers were filed as well their dissemination to the media is antithetical to the welfare and long term emotional well being of their daughter."

A Case of Bad Parenting


Kourtney Kardashian has appeared on a number of ridiculous tabloid covers. Incredibly, though, Parenting has managed to top them all.

On its official website, this magazine claims to offer "mom tips you can't live without," only to them cover its latest issue with... Kourtney Kardashian.

Offering up such nuggets as "I have no desire to go out," except when I get paid for letting the paparazzi follow me and when I'll soon appear on a reality show that chronicles my life, yet doesn't even show my son, Kourtney opens up to the publication about life as a parent.

In response, allow THG to equally open: if you need parenting tips from Kourtney Kardashian, you might want to rethink motherhood.

Golden Globe Awards Honor Glee, The Social Network, Call Out Gay Scientologists

Ricky Gervais kicked off the 2011 Golden Globe Awards by staying true to his vow to be more subversive than he was a year ago. Just ask Tom Cruise and John Travolta, at whom the comedian aimed this opening joke:

"Also not nominated was I Love You Philip Morris, Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. Two heterosexual characters pretending to be gay. So the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists, then... Probably. My lawyers helped me with the wording of that joke. They're not here."

And with that... the show was off! Watch Gervais' intro here, following by a list of the event's major winners:

Lorenzo Lamas to Go Dancing With the Stars?


Dancing with the Stars execs are currently locked in negotiations to bring Lorenzo Lamas to the show, according to reports. Talk about a renegade mode.

Sources connected with the show say Lorenzo is "in talks" about a possible deal. Nothing is in stone yet, but he has "serious interest" in doing the show.

This follows reports that Kendra Wilkinson may be tapped to join the cast this spring as well. ABC is expected to announce the cast in the coming weeks.

RENEGADE: Lorenzo Lamas on DWTS? Will it happen? Does anyone care?

No word if his ex-wife Shauna Sand, current fiancee Shawna Craig, or daughter Shayne Lamas have also been asked to cut a rug and chase the Mirror Ball.

Is Kim Kardashian 2sexy2tweet?


If we answer yes to the latest question posed by Kim Kardashian on Twitter, will she go away?

The professional celebrity took to her social network last night and showed off the only reason she's famous. To wit:

Along with the photo, she wrote: "Photo shoot time! #2sexy2tweet?"

You tell us, fans. This is what plastic surgery, millions of dollars and unhealthy dieting can get you. What do you think? Kim Kardashian is...

Jake Pavelka is Bold, Beautiful

Jake signs an autograph for someone who needs a hobby.

After appearing on The Bachelorette, starring as The Bachelor and competing on Dancing With the Stars, Jake Pavelka is trying to launch a real acting career.

Today, he appeared on the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.

"I play a pilot," said Pavelka, who is/was a pilot before becoming a professional reality star. "What's ironic is that it's harder to play a pilot than to be a pilot!"

Pavelka was offered the role in part because B&B producer Brad Bell flies planes, too. "He's a pilot himself and we had a whole lot in common," says Pavelka.

Also soaring is Pavelka's love life – he and wedding planner Meghan Jones are going strong. If that doesn't work out, there's always The Bachelor again.

Hey, it worked for Brad Womack.

"I read that story that I was begging to be The Bachelor again," says Jake, who was producers' backup plan after Kiptyn Locke, Reid Rosenthal, Womack and Maksim Chmerkovskiy (seriously) all turned it down. "That was news to me."

When Camille Met Kayte...




















Camille Grammer met her still-husband's fiancee for the first time yesterday.

And the experience was so personal and so traumatic that she had to share it with the world on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live last night, following the most recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

"It was interesting to say the least," Camille told Andy Cohen. "I was delivering the kids to Kelsey, and he texted me and said, 'Kayte will be there.' And my girlfriend Deidre, who's on the show with me, said we have to go down and meet her."

And?!?

"She was nice, we both said hello. She has a very strong handshake... it was uncomfortable."

As it stands now, Camille won't let Kelsey go through with a hasty divorce, while Kesley wants to marry Kayte next month and... do you really care?

Yes, CBS is Concerned About Charlie Sheen


To a celebrity gossip site, Charlie Sheen is comedic gold. Seriously, the guy has is unabashed in his affection for porn star booty.

But to a television network that cuts him a mammoth check every year? Not so much.

At a press conference with reporters today, CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler made it clear she has a "high level of concern" over the actor and his behavior.

“This man is a father, he’s got children, so obviously there’s concern on a personal level," Tassler said. "But Charlie’s a professional, he comes to work, he does his job extremely well... It’s very complicated."

Reportedly, CBS executives were contemplating some kind of intervention this week, following Sheen's antics in Las Vegas, but the star's lawyer wouldn't allow it. Why not just fire the guy? Well, Tassler replies:

“How do you get fired for going to work and doing your job?”

Kate Hudson Thrilled to Be Pregnant Again





















For Kate Hudson, getting pregnant fit in perfectly with her life.

"Kate really wanted another baby," a source says, adding that the dad, rocker Matthew Bellamy, is "a great person to do that with. He's a very good person."

News that Bellamy got Kate Hudson pregnant by accident surfaced earlier this week. Despite the unexpected surprise, both are overjoyed she is expecting.

What makes the pair tick? Having fun, plus similar out looks on life.

"He loves Kate's carefree attitude," a source says, "[he] has a lot of fun with her."

Generally helps to have fun in a relationship rather than be miserable, it's true.

Hudson, 31, has a son, Ryder, 7, with ex-husband Chris Robinson. She has been dating Bellamy, 32, who fronts the band Muse, for about nine months.

Here's hoping it works out between these two. We wish them the very best.

Might Justin Bieber Go Insane?


Debbie Gibson knows a thing or two dozen about success as a teenager.

At the age of 17, she became the youngest singer to write, produce and release a number-one hit on the Billboard 100. So at least this 40-year old is speaking from experience when she says of Justin Bieber's fame:

"It's too much too soon. People have to remember, even though a kid can be wise beyond their years professionally and can handle showbiz, emotionally you're not developed."


Justin Bieber is mature for his age. The kid has a mustache!

Gibson only has Bieber's best interest in mind, fearing the cute idol will "lose his sanity" at this rate, although Justin says he's already there.

"If I could get all these kids in a room, I'd tell them you're not superhuman," Gibson told E! News. "If you need to take a week off, take a week off. Everybody makes you think the world will end and it won't. If you say no, you save your sanity later."

Bieber, of course, has no plans to slow down. His 3D biopic hits theaters in February. So far, this 16-year appears to have his head on straight, although the same thing can't always be said of his fans.

Teresa Scanlan Crowned Miss America 2011


Teresa Scanlan is more than the latest Miss America pageant winner. She's also a maker of history.

The 17-year old from Gering, Nebraska was named the youngest champion of all-time on Saturday night, earning the crown by performing "White Water Chopsticks" on the piano. She was the only contestant to neither sing nor dance.

A graduate of Scottsbluff High School, Scanlan has earned a $50,000 scholarship and will attend Patrick Henry College in the fall.

During her year-long tenure, Teresa said her main focus will be on eating disorders and how they affect her generation. If she can't fulfill her duties - and, really, you never know with beauty queens - the runner-up (Miss Arkansas, Alyse Eady) will take over.
