The internet is Natalie Portman’s medium for encouraging people to vote. Her new public service announcement takes about 30 seconds, and she says, “Voting’s how our democracy works.”

The spot does not affiliate her with any side of the races. Instead, she simply talks about how important it is to take part in the democratic process. Natalie says, “To vote is to express yourself.”

Little girls, back up! Judge Bruno Tonioli of Dancing with the Stars might love the Jonas Brothers even more than you.

The brotherly trio rocked out the show Tuesday night. Joe Jonas said, “They said it was the loudest audience they ever had. They had to tell people to calm down, which was cool.”

This was the boys’ first trip to the ballroom, but they said they are fans of the show. Kevin says, “I can see Dancing with the Stars in our future!”

After pictures of Amy Winehouse came out with her arm all cut up and bruised, speculations have run rampant that she’s back to self-harming. But according to the British pop wreck’s publicist, all the blame for the cuts is on Wino’s cat. Oh come on! There’s no way that those are from an angry feline. People aren’t stupid. But then again… Chris Goodman, Amy’s publicist from the UK’s Outside Organisation said that the whole cat comment was just another newspaper report and not from him. He says that all he gave the paper was a “no comment”. Darned tabloids! You can never trust them.

Mariah Carey is on the cover of the new issue of Parade magazine which is coming out on Sunday. In the accompanying interview, the 38-year old curvaceous singer talks about her struggle with fame, being called a diva and reconciling with her father. Here’s a quote from her “My self-esteem has never been topping the charts. You don’t know who is here for the glamour, for the gossip factor. You really just want to know that somebody loves you for you. That’s a difficult thing when, you know… (pauses) Sometimes you just do really feel like an ATM machine with a wig on it.”

She just recently announced that she was divorcing her husband Carey Hart. But Pink is still finding happiness in some fun.

She took a day trip on a yacht in Los Cabos, Maxico. She was lovely in white bikini as she posed for pictures and smoked her cigarette.

As if you didn’t see enough in her nude remakes of Marilyn’s risque poses. Now you can go see self-selected photographs of Lindsay Lohan’s tattoos.

Apparently the celeb decided people had seen that much of her, why not show them up close and personal. You can see her famous “breathe”, the “La Bella Vita” inscription, and her star on her wrist. Lindsay says the photos she selected show the “mood behind her tattoos”.

Check them out when they open Thursday at the Sky Terrace of Lindsay’s Atelier building.

Just yesterday it was announced that Carey Hart and Pink are divorcing after two years of marriage. Today, Pink released a statement on her website.

Hi everybody.

I wanted to reach out personally to all my fans/friends out there in the world. First and foremost, thank-you for all of your support and love, it means a lot to me right now. The most important thing for you all to know, is that Carey and I love each other so so much. This break up is not about cheating, anger, or fighting. I know it sounds like cliche bulls***, but we are best friends, and we will continue to be. All I know at this point, is that I want to make the best album I can, and Carey wants to do the best possible job he can with everything he has going on. He is a good man, so please support him as well. One never knows the future, but mine and Careys’ just might involve beach babies and sunshine one day. Just not right now. Thanks for the concern and caring.

Does that mean that while she was married, she was “Pink Hart”?

….Tiffany’s jewelry, that is.

After working out at an L.A. gym, Katharine McPhee took her two dogs Nena and Larry out for a stroll. Then she headed over to the Century City mall. In her hands was a stack of jewelry boxes from Tiffany and Co., an upscale jewelry store.

Someone had a Happy Valentine’s Day!

Kylie Minogue turned heads with her hotness when she attended that 43rd Goldene Kamera Awards in Berlin, Germany on Wednesday. While she was there, she made sure to clear up the rumors about getting back together with her former flame.

Kylie adamantly denied reports saying that she is back together with French actor Olivier Martinez even thought they were spotted together in Paris last week. She said about being photographed with him last week “I had dinner with my ex-boyfriend and next thing I know there’s a debate about whether we’re having a family. We didn’t even talk about that. As I’ve maintained, we’re friends.”

It’s only been two weeks since Nicole Richie gave birth to her daughter with boyfriend . Mama is lookin’ fine already!

They left baby Harlow home with a sitter while the couple attended a birthday bash for Benny Medina in L.A. Nicole’s father Lionel was also there.

Nicole was struttin’ in a cute black number and heels. Ladies, be jealous.

RnB star Beyoncé Knowles has landed the role of famed blues singer Etta James in new movie Cadillac Records. It is reported that the Dreamgirls actress will join Adrien Brody, Jeffery Wright, and Cedric the Entertainer in the 1950s-set film.

Wow they are some big boots to fill. Beyoncé will have her work cut out to not upset the Etta James fans of the world. But we believe in her – you can do it girl!

Oscar-winning Brody has replaced actor Matt Dillon in the role of Leonard Chess, the founder of legendary blues label Chess Records, after scheduling conflicts forced him to pull out of the project. Filming is due to take place later this year in New Jersey and Mississippi

Ask Sylvester Stallone what he thinks of ex-fiancee Janice Dickinson, and he’ll tell you that she’s just a bloodsucking publicity freak who will say anything to get in the headlines. He says that she pours out lie after lie.

When she went on “Red Eye” hosted by Greg Gutfeld on Fox News, she said that Sly used to take steroids. She also accused him of injecting her with them, saying, “He juiced me. I’d wake up and my arm was as big as Popeye - steroids, testosterone, all that stuff.” Sly says that’s all false.

His exact response? “Janice Dickinson lied about the origin of her child and she’s lying about this.” For those who don’t know, she was engaged to Sylvester in the early 1990s. She claimed she was pregnant with his child, but then DNA tests showed that the father was actually Michael Birnbaum.

Desperate woman will do anything for some attention….

You know how when there’s a big pink elephant in the middle of the room, most people choose to ignore it? Well, this is kind of like that. In an irony to end all ironies, a woman was arrested to five days in jail for snapping a picture of R&B singer R Kelly in court. What about putting the guy with child porn charges behind bars? Or take him to trial at least!

49-year old Jean Johnson used her cellphone camera to take picture of Kelly during a recent hearing. She plead guilty to contempt of court and was sentenced to the 5 days.

Move over Kirstie Alley - there’s a new princess, I mean, ah, Queen in town.

Queen Latifah is the newest celeb to join Kirstie and pal Valerie Bertinelli as a spokesperson for the Jenny Craig weight loss program. JC has confirmed that Queen will start in January.

Queen Latifah is one of the few celebrities who has been proud of her plus-sized figure over the years. According to Jenny Craig’s people, her ads won’t be about getting smaller or fitting into a certain size dress, but will be focused on living a healthier lifestyle.

They say, “We are thrilled to have Queen Latifah support our mission of improving health by taking her first step toward achieving a more healthful lifestyle.”

Congrats, Queen, but don’t forget that big is beautiful, too!

Ricky Martin showed accidentally shoed off his bon-bon when he flashed some major butt crack as he bent over on the security line at LAX airport on Saturday in Los Angeles. He apparently likes to go commando on us.The 35-year old Puerto Rican pop star also seems to be embracing his gray hair but also had a funky patch of long hair growing out of his cowlick. Is this the latest hair trend or is this because he’s become enemies with the stylist that outed him in a magazine? He should learn to just keep his friends close and his enemies closer. They have some use.

Umm, even with her perfectly coiffed hair, chiseled face, and packin’ hubby, Victoria Beckham (a.k.a. Posh Spice) has her not-so-good days.Take this weekend, for instance, at one of the Spice Girls reunion concerts. Maybe she should rethink the ridiculously skin hugging outfits because this one was hugging a little too tightly.

Check out the pic to see her pit cleavage. Can she not FEEL the lump?

Apparently swollen, lumpy body parts run in the Beckham family these days.

All I can say to this story is yum, yum, yum. I think I have just converted to being a soccer fan.

David Beckham, the better half of the Becks, is really going out of his way to show how, umm, HUGE of a star he is. He’s taken some time off the field to model for Armani’s underwear ad campaign.

The ads are–popping up–in black and white and are, for lack of a better word, amazing. I’m ready to shell out some cash for underwear, pictures, a night with Beck, whatever they’re selling.

Mmm, mmm, good.

If you say Amy Winehouse is a hot mess, chances are that everyone around you would agree. And no one knows this fact better than her own mother. Mother knows best after all.

In an open letter which was published in the UK’s News of the World, Janis Winehouse pleaded for her daughter to get help. In the letter, Janis writes “You are still my baby and you always will be. I pile hope upon hope that you will make that decision, Amy, and your strong will can bend for just a moment to make that decision and come home to me… Early fame has overwhelmed you, it’s dizzied you and muddled your mind… remember you’re just an ordinary human being, no stronger than any of the rest of us. You think you’re strong enough to get through this on your own, darling, but you’re not.”

It appears that her spree of bad decisions isn’t over yet. Apparently she wasn’t a bad enough role model for her boys. I guess her album’s doing so poorly that she has to steal just to get by.

According to the owner of a Sherman Oaks, California, Chevron gas station, Britney stole a lighter from the store on Friday night.

Britney stopped at the store and bought a pack of gum. On her way out of the store, she picked up a blue lighter. A photographer who was in the area reminded her that she “forgot” to pay for it, and she “sarcastically responded, ‘I stole something. Oh, I’m bad!’”

What the crap? How much does a lighter cost?

Jatinder Kaur, the owner of the Chevron, had this to say, “Yes, Britney stole a blue lighter here last night. The lighter is $1.39. I’m hoping maybe the next time she comes back she will pay for it. I know she can afford to pay for it, but I’m not planning to file a police report. It’s still not right for her to steal the lighter. I hope she will do the right thing the next time she comes here.”

Keira Knightley and Ellen talked extensively about Keira’s many nude photo shoots. Keira readily admitted that she was well on her way to total nudism.

Umm, ok, maybe this isn’t meant to be strictly commentary, but I for one don’t want to see her nude. I mean, look at the chick. Her body fat percentage is like -10%. You can see her bones, and I can’t imagine seeing her completely naked.

Nonetheless, I have to give her props for having the balls to do it. I mean, I wouldn’t dare strip of the clothes and let anyone take my photog. Keira, just eat some dinner before you pose - you need some meat on those bones, honey.

Lily Allen needs to make up her mind. She once said in an interview that the reason she started exercising to lose weight was because of a heart murmur but in the cover article of British GQ, she’s saying otherwise.

Lily is well known for publicly attacking every celebrity and she says “A lot of that stuff I said was because I didn’t feel confident. I felt like, ‘Oh God, I’m short, fat, ugly…and I hate all these people who flaunt their beauty.’ Ever since a kid I’ve felt like I’m possibly the uncoolest, naffest person ever to walk the earth. But I feel great at the moment. I actually don’t have one bad thing to say about anything.”

So did she lose weight for her health or did she lose it because she was insecure?

With Roberto Cavalli being the designer of the Spice Girls’ costumes for their upcoming reunion tour, we can all expect some very sexy and glamorous outfits gracing the bodies of the ladies.Roberto tells OK! magazine about how he came to be the designer for the tour saying “I have known Victoria Beckham for a long time and I have always admired her style and personality. When we talked about the worldwide tour The Return of the Spice Girls, she put forward the idea of me creating all their costumes to which I immediately agreed. When I met them, I immediately understood the reason why the world went crazy for their unique brand of girl power as they are an irresistible mix of energy, pure joy, humor and a spicy dash of glamour. I’m sure their strength will take us by storm again”

It’s only been three years since rapper 50 Cent bought a 48,000 square foot mansion belong to Mike Tyson. Back then, the place was decorated in turquoise and purple and, in 50’s own words, “It kind of had a ‘Miami Vice’ feel.”It didn’t take long, though, for 50 to put his mark on the home. The enormous 19-bedroom home, located in Farmington, Connecticut, has a nightclub complete with a swing hanging from the ceiling.

On Thursday, 50 will invite viewers to tour his home on a special edition of MTV’s “Cribs”. This invitation comes just before he moves out of the home, which he’s selling for $18.5 Million.

50 originally bought the home because of the space it would provide. He and his G-Unit cronies could record there. Some of the other rappers he works with, such as Tony Yayo, have their own rooms, and 50 himself records in his basement.

So, why’s he selling? He says he is tired of the more than two hour commute to New York City, and he’s in the market to downsize. When asked about a future home purchase, he said, “It might be a lot smaller. The basics - maybe four or five bedrooms.”

Better get your look on while you have the chance - the next owner might not invite us in.

Somebody’s been chugging down the egg nog way too early. A fan ran into the lead Pussycat Doll and hot mess known as Nicole Scherzinger on the night before Thanksgiving and she reported just how their meeting went.

“So I saw Nicole Scherzinger in her hometown of Louisville, KY last night at Felt. She was completely wasted, kept singing a terrible version of that overplayed ‘Buttons’ song and acted kind of put out that I wanted a pic.” And judging by the picture, yeah, I think she’s completely out of it.

Perhaps Nicole was drowning her sorrows away over her solo album being pushed back several times.

Pre-teen fans are anxiously awaiting Billy Ray Cyrus’ upcoming film with daughter Miley. The Disney Channel stars are working out the details for the filming of their Hannah Montana movie. Cyrus is hoping filming will take place in their home state of Tennessee.

The movie is based on the duos popular Disney Channel series where Miley plays Miley Stewart, a young girl who moves from Tennessee to Malibu to live out the dream as a pop star. By day, she is simply Miley, a high school student who gets in her share of normal teenage scrapes. In the evening hours, she secretly performs as Hannah Montana, a popular musical performer.

In the proposed movie version, the Stewarts make a return visit to Tennessee. Billy Ray feels strongly that it should be filmed there as well.

Billy Ray reportedly told the Associated Press, “The thing of it is, Walt Disney really wants to film this movie in Tennessee.” The problem is that there may not be enough financial backing coming from state officials. It isn’t that officials don’t want the film, though. The executive director of the Tennessee Film, Entertainment, and Music Commission is quoted as saying, “It would mean a real impact on tourism and it would be a family friendly film that would come to the state.”

Louisiana is competing for the filming privileges. Tennessee officials are anxious to make their offer and see how it compares to that of Louisiana.

The Cyrus’ spent Thanksgiving in Tennessee with family and celebrated Miley’s 15th birthday with a sold-out concert show in Nashville. They are looking forward to the possibility of returning in April to shoot the film.

Can you blame the guy? I mean, after all, who doesn’t want to work from home?

Lord knows why, but Amy Winehouse is completely lovesick despite having not much reason to be. The singer’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil is currently in jail for attempting to tamper with a case but Amy can’t get her mind off him even as she’s on a tour of the UK.

At a concert in Glasgow this past weekend, the troubled singer revealed how she plans to commemorate their upcoming six month anniversary. “I’m going to send him a bouquet of flowers. And I want everyone here to send Blake a red rose.”

If you’re one of the few who care, work in the flower business or you just want a good laugh, do send a rose to the Pentonville Prison in London.

The drug tests and court dates apparently have not kept Britney Spears from finding a new man. It was love from the moment he asked for her order.

Reports are that the former (current?) pop diva has been secretly dating Michael Marchand for about two weeks. She met him when he was her waiter at Mirabelle, a Los Angeles bistro.

Inside sources say the pair has been texting each other quite frequently and Britney has been seen having dinner with him several times. On Tuesday, the pair was caught leaving a restaurant together and photographers snapped the pic.

Those close to Britney say, “Their chemistry was immediate. He’s very turned on by her.” Umm, hello? He’s a warm blooded male and is breathing, right?

He’s not commenting right now, although we can bet he’s dying to spread the news that he’s the latest of Britney’s rash decisions. His only remark so far is to smile and say, “I can’t talk about that right now.”

As for Britney, she’s picking out wedding rings and looking for a justice of the peace in Vegas. Gotta snag him before he realizes what he’s gotten himself into!

Amy Winehouse was in between concert stops come Friday. You would think that she would take the time to rest up and gather some energy, but not our little Wino. The ‘Rehab’ singer was spotted leaving her London apartment at 3:45 AM early Friday morning. While most people are asleep at that time, Amy is up like the bat that got splatted on her eyes.

Maybe she couldn’t catch a wink because apart from the drama that has recently gone on in the past two weeks, Wino’s manager Thom Stone quit on Thursday because he was reportedly fed up with Amy’s continued use of heroin.

Let’s forget for a moment what a trainwreck Pamela Anderson has been lately and focus on her work with PETA. Pammy will be serving vegetarian dishes all night on Thanksgiving at an unnamed homeless centre in Las Vegas. If you want to eat turkey, then eat a turkey but don’t make out that what you have in front of you tastes or looks like turkey. Mixed feelings about this. It’s nice that she’s feeding homeless people, but it’s annoying that she exploits the opportunity for more PETA propaganda. Besides, after marrying sleazeball Rick Salomon and jerk Kid Rock, she has cashed in her moral certificate. Well you know what there are two sides to a coin and there are two or at times or more sides to a human being, some are like a chameleon changing color at every instance and others are open, they show off they are like this love them or hate them. Pamela is one such she has much diversity to her personality and PETA is one of them.

Mexican actress Salma Hayek was so upset by childhood jokes about her flat-chest, she would pray to God for larger breasts. The Ugly Betty star reveals she was bullied for having small breasts as a youngster - and decided to turn to her Catholic religion for help. By praying to God she means praying to plastic surgeons, right? Umm isn’t she naturally “thick” which means she’ll have bigger boobs anyways? Duh. You gain weight your boobs grow. Good thing she wasted a prayer on bigger boobs, what an idiot. Should’ve prayed for brains! lol. What a lire, I have seen her pictures from years ago and they were size be if I have figured it out well. I am quite sure that she has had a boob job done on her breast though I am not sure when. But I certainly can recall her saying that she at some point in time she did a few years ago and probably 3 years ago, right. That’s at some point of time when she broke up with Edward Nothon. SHE THINKS WE ARE STUPID OR SOMTHING AND WON’T REMMBER, EVEN THAT YOU CAN TELL THEY ARE NOT REAL.
