Britney Spears To Kick Off Las Vegas Residency With New Year’s Run

Britney Spears is set to perform on New Year’s Eve and on Valentine’s Day during her Las Vegas residency.

The star’s “Britney: Piece Of Me” shows will kick off on December 27 and continue for two years at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, and she’s set to perform four of those shows before the end of 2013.

16 dates have been announced so far, beginning on January 29, following a brief hiatus after her New Year’s run of shows. So far she’s set to perform on alternating Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and also on Fridays and Saturdays.

Britney’s new as-yet-untitled album, her eighth studio recording, will be released on December 3.

Lamar Odom Left Rehab After One Day, Developed $800-A-Day Drug Habit

Earlier this week, Lamar Odom checked into a drug rehab facility and then checked out the next day, according to People.com.

In an attempt to get clean, the NBA star entered a drug and alcohol treatment center on Wednesday morning, but sources say Odom, 32, left the medical facility on Thursday afternoon. He was later spotted out and about in Los Angeles.

The athlete went to rehab just five days after he was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI).

Odom has been making headlines for his alleged addiction to crack and crumbling marriage to Khloe Kardashian. The “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star reportedly staged an intervention for her husband to seek help, but he purportedly moved out of their home and into a hotel.

TMZ.com reports that over the summer Odom was spending an average of $800 per day on several drugs, including crack. Insiders say he spent so much money because he shared his stash, and dealers often charge wealthy users higher prices.

Kardashian hasn’t commented on her husband’s problems but posted last weekend: “As much as I wish I were made of steel… I’m not. I’m pretty damn close to it though hehe.”

Alec Baldwin To Host New Current Events Talk Show

Alec Baldwin has landed his own talk show.

The former 30 Rock star will host “Up Late with Alec Baldwin” at 10pm on Friday nights on MSNBC beginning next month, where he’ll discuss current affairs with celebrity guests.

“I’ve developed a fondness for hosting a show that involved talking with smart, talented and engaging people in every imaginable field,” the actor said. “I’m grateful to MSNBC for helping me bring a similar show to television.”

Baldwin, a Hollywood liberal, will find his show up against fellow left-wing celebrity talk show host Bill Maher, whose HBO show “Real Time With Bill Maher” airs its new episodes in the same Friday night time slot.

Baldwin recently reactivated his Twitter page after quitting the social media site following an altercation with a reporter from London’s Daily Mail who claimed his wife was tweeting during actor James Gandolfini’s funeral.

Baldwin said he’d “never” rejoin the site during an interview with Vanity Fair magazine in July.

“Never,” he said when asked about opening his account again. “No. I went to Jimmy Gandolfini’s funeral, and when I was there I realized Jimmy Gandolfini didn’t have Twitter. Jimmy Gandolfini was so beloved as a person, and he was so admired as an actor, and he didn’t give a f*** about social media.

I really learned a lesson at the funeral, he adds. “I said to myself, This is all a waste of time. Meaning it’s fun sometimes, but less and less, and less. It’s just another chink in your armor for people to come and kill you. I stopped and said to myself, I’m going to try where I just don’t do this anymore.”

The actor had a change of heart earlier this week, and used the death of comic Sarah Silverman’s dog as his opportunity to get back online, perhaps with the bigger intentions of using it to promote his new show once it begins.

After all, it will need some help — MSNBC currently ranks third among the U.S. news networks, trailing closely behind CNN and pulling in roughly a third of the viewers as rival Fox News.

Perhaps Baldwin can help give the network a bump in the ratings.

Review: ‘The World’s End’ Asks How Far Would You Go For A Pint Of Beer?

We’re all familiar with the quote, ‘You can never go home again.’ Well, that’s not exactly true, you can go home again but it may not be the way you remembered it.

That is certainly the case in ‘The World’s End‘ directed by Edgar Wright. Wright wrote the script with Simon Pegg, who also stars in the film.

The writers consider ‘The World’s End’ to be the last in a trilogy; a follow up to ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and the cop buddy flick ‘Hot Fuzz.’

The film starts out with a flashback. The year is 1990 and five high school friends, living in the English village of Newton Haven, attempt a 12 pub crawl. Unfortunately, they never quite make it, stopping before they reach the last pub, The World’s End.

Flash forward 20 years later – Gary (Simon Pegg) contacts his former mates: Andy (Nick Frost) who he’s been estranged from Steven (Paddy Considine), Oliver (Martin Freeman) and Peter (Eddie Marsan) reunite to make it all the way to the end…The World’s End.

Of course, Gary’s mates have changed. They are all family men with careers. Gary however is the same lost dude he was in high school. So for him, this 12 pub crawl means everything.

What starts out as a reunion quickly turns into something much different and the guys soon realize, this isn’t just about beer, but the fate of…humanity.

‘The World’s End’ which opens in theatres, Friday August 23, 2013, is not only a very funny movie, but it’s also clever and full of wonderful surprises.

In the end, it’s not only a story about how far a man will go for a pint, but how far will he go for his mates.

I gave ‘The World’s End’ 4 1/2 bagels out of 5. John seems to have lost his sense of humor and gave it a much different score.

‘Real Housewives Of Miami’ Star Adriana De Moura Goes Nude For PETA

Real Housewives of Miami star Adriana De Moura has taken it all off for a new PETA ad campaign to bring attention to marine animal captivity.

The new ad focuses on Lolita, a killer whale that has been living in captivity at the Miami Seaquarium since 1970.

De Moura and PETA are hoping to get the animal freed and returned to her native Puget Sound, Washington area wiht the campaign.

The new ad features Adriana naked and in a bathtub with the question, “Could you live in a bathtub for 40 years?” — likening the experience to what Lolita is going through.

“Lolita has been stuck in a tiny tank at the Miami Sequarium since 1970, when she was torn away from her ocean family,” the ad reads. “She is a lone orca surrounded by concrete and chemically treated water, and the Sequarium refuses to release her to a coastal sanctuary. Help free her by taking action at PETA.org.”

De Moura is the first ever Brazilian to posed nude for one of PETA’s animal rights campaigns, and she says that in her native country marine animal captivity for entertainment is banned.

She also explained that taking it all off (except for some strategically placed tape) was difficult.

“Getting naked is not as easy as it sounds in front of everybody,” she told NBC Miami’s Latin Beat blog, “but again I believe its for a good cause so if my nakedness can bring awareness to this appalling situation then I’m still in it literally in hot water.”

The Seaquarium also responded with a statement, saying, “Moving Lolita in any way, whether to a new pool, a sea pen or to the open waters of the Pacific Northwest, would be an experiment. And it is a risk with her life that we are not willing to take. There is no scientific evidence that the 48 year-old post-reproductive Lolita could survive if she was returned to the ocean.

“It would be irresponsible, reckless, and cruel to treat her life as an experiment and jeopardize her health and safety in order to appease a group of activists. These individuals will never be satisfied with the care she receives.”

Adriana isn’t the only Real Housewives star to shed it all for PETA, fellow RHOM star Joanna Krupa has gone nude for the organization several times, and The Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel also posed naked.

Lindsay Lohan Reportedly Parties With Max George Post Rehab

She was just released from rehab last week, and Lindsay Lohan is back to her partying ways – or at least hanging out with old friends.

The actress celebrated her new found freedom with a night out with British boy band The Wanted in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

Photos on Twitter show the actress posing with fans after the band’s concert in Costa Mesa. Specifically, she’s pictured with band member Max George, whom she reportedly dated in the past.

Lohan and George then traveled to the Mondrian West Hollywood hotel, according to the New York Post. Fellow guests reportedly complained about the loud party before it was shut down early Thursday morning.

The actress’ rep has denied the report, telling the publication: “I highly doubt this is true… Although Lindsay did visit her good friend Max…”

Lohan was released from a California rehab at the end of last month after spending 90 days undergoing a court-ordered treatment program.

Seth Rogan’s Tweetstarter

I’m using Kickstarter to fund my next tweet. Its a passion tweet I’ve been trying to tweet for years but nobody will let me tweet.

– Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) July 26, 2013

If you donate, you get personal updates on the tweet, although I will be keeping all revenue from the final tweet.

– Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) July 26, 2013

There’s no actual guarantee that the final kickstarted tweet will even be tweeted if you donate, because tweets tend to fall apart in prep.

– Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) July 26, 2013

And Zach Braff’s rebuttal:

@Sethrogen I’m sorry you hate Kickstarter. In any event, I think you’re super funny and I laughed my ass off at “This Is The End.”

Alyssa Milano ‘Leaks’ Sex Tape To Bring Attention To Crisis In Syria

Alyssa Milano has a sex tape. The Charmed star revealed on Wednesday that she and an unnamed male companion vacationed in Cabo recently and taped their bedroom antics.

The scene was set with a classy hotel suite, rose petals scattered on the bed and floor, candles giving the room a romantic glow.

But when the time came for action, Alyssa bumped the camera she had just set up and it spun around to focus on… the nightly news, where an anchorman was relaying all the details about the current situation in Syria and the U.S. being at the doorstep of yet another war.

Of course, the video is just a gag for Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s comedy website Funny or Die!, but, like numerous others before it, it’s meant to raise a little political awareness about a humanitarian issue.

Milano’s video was made with the purpose of sending a message and getting people to see that there are some major issues going on in the world right now.

“I think it was a really fun way to get people to realize that there are important issues our country is dealing with right now,” the actress tells website Mother Jones. “If people end up learning something about the crisis in Syria that’s a good thing-even if I had to do a sex tape to lure them in.”

So basically, Alyssa thinks we’re all sitting around watching celebrity sex tapes and have no clue about the Syrian Civil War that’s going on right now, currently puttin the government between a rock and a hard place on whether or not to order an air strike on the nation over President Bashar al-Assad’s alleged use of chemical weapons.

Angelina Jolie To Receive Honorary Oscar For Humanitarian Efforts

The Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the recipients of four honorary awards it will give out this year at the fifth annual Governor’s Awards gala in November.

Angelina Jolie, who will be presented with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, will be joined by Angela Lansbury, Steve Martin and costume designer Piero Tosi.

“The Governors Awards pay tribute to individuals who’ve made indelible contributions in their respective fields,” said Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs. “We couldn’t be more excited for this year’s honorees and look forward to bringing their peers and colleagues together to celebrate their extraordinary achievements.”

The honorary awards come in the forme of the typical Oscar statuette, and are given “to honor extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences, or for outstanding service to the Academy.”

Jolie’s award is also an Oscar, her second (she won Best Supporting Actress for 1999’s Girl, Interrupted), which is given to a person in the motion picture industry “whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry.”

The awards will be presented Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Center on Saturday, November 16.
