Gwen Stefani Worries Raising Sons In Tinseltown Might "Ruin Their Lives"
High profile couple Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are often photographed alongside their two adorable sons, Kingston, almost 5, and Zuma, 2 1/2. The mom-of-two recently talked to Elle Canada about her fears of raising a family in Tinseltown.
The kids, their privacy, a responsibility for them and not knowing if this is going to ruin their lives. They?re so exposed and they don?t have a choice ? that scares me a lot.?

Michael Jackson Estate Rakes In $310 Million To Date
Singer left behind more than $400 million in debt.

Between album sales, movie profits, licensing arrangements and lucrative deals for Cirque du Soleil shows, the estate of late King of Pop Michael Jackson has raked in more than $300 million since the singer's shocking death in June 2009.
According to TMZ, legal documents released on Thursday reveal that executors of MJ's estate have managed to make a major dent in the more than $400 million in debt that Jackson owed at the time of his death.
The first accounting from the executors shows that they have already spent around $159 million paying back various debts, income taxes and other expenses, which include providing support for the pop star's mother, Katherine Jackson, as well as his three young children.
"Although there remain unresolved creditor claims, pending litigation and additional challenging business, tax and legal issues, and the estate is not yet in a condition to be closed, the executors have made substantial progress in reducing the estate's debt," the documents state, according to a Reuters report. Two of Jackson's longtime confidants, attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain, were named as administrators in a will sign by the pop icon.
In addition to paying to make "substantial improvements" to the Jackson family's Havenhurst estate in Encino, California, the executors also spent an undetermined amount of money on "last illness and funeral and memorial service expenses." Those costs included a $900,000 payment to the Forest Lawn Memorial cemetery where Jackson is buried and $35,000 on expenses described as "costume for memorial."
TMZ reported that not only did the famously cash-strapped Jackson have more than $400 million in debt, but his estate also owed more than $40 million to concert promoter AEG tied to the scuttled This Is It Tour, for which MJ was rehearsing when he died unexpectedly. They've also paid $27.2 million in taxes and $4 million in mortgage payments on Jackson's properties.
Despite the solid sales of the Michael album and millions of units of the singer's back catalog being sold, as well as the box office of the "This Is It" movie and DVD sales, the estate is not nearly out of the woods. TMZ noted that the administrators have received more than 65 creditors' claims, some of which are subject to "extremely high" interest rates, and there are several outstanding lawsuits against the estate in several countries.

Lady Gaga Brings The Drama As 'American Idol' Mentor
In a getup worthy of Cruella de Vil, Gaga's offbeat, hands-on approach inspires 'Idol' wannabes.
By Adam Graham

Not every "American Idol" mentor would ask a contestant, "How do you feel about getting a little psycho?" Then again, not every "American Idol" mentor is Lady Gaga.
Yes, "Idol" got Gaga'd on Wednesday (May 11), as the pop superstar tutored the top four contestants while they worked through material from the songbook of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.
Dressed in typically grand Gaga fashion in a black leather ensemble and a blond bob wig, accentuated with a pronounced black streak and high black bangs, Gaga — her eyebrows bleached blond — looked like the spawn of Cruella de Vil and the lead character from "Pink Floyd the Wall." She immediately made her stamp as a judge when she challenged Haley Reinhart to make her performance a little more, well, "psycho."
With her eyes framed by an intricate black makeup job and sporting a large black dot painted on her right cheek, Gaga wasn't there to judge, she said, but rather to be a friend. "I just want to give them senses of inspiration and confidence," she said, "And to help them bring out what's really special about them."
For Reinhart, that meant drawing out her dramatic side. In her rendition of Ben E. King's "I (Who Have Nothing)," Gaga urged her to take a deep breath before delivering the song's defining lyric, a climactic "I love you."
"Give them drama!" Gaga pleaded. "Give them a little Edith Piaf. Give them a little, 'I'm crazy and I'm a laugh away from a tear.' " When she got her where she felt she wanted her, Gaga praised Reinhart. "She's gonna kick so much ass, little pony!" she said.
Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina — who make up the country contingent of this year's competition — proved slightly more difficult subjects. When she felt McCreery wasn't properly singing into his microphone, Gaga told him, "Get right in the center of that hot dog." ("I don't know where Gaga was going with that," McCreery admitted.) She then told him to treat the mic like it was his girlfriend. "She says to you, 'If you don't stick your tongue down my throat, we're through, OK?' " Gaga instructed Scotty to imagine. "So you keep your mouth on that microphone if your life depends on it or that bitch is gonna leave you."
For his part, McCreery didn't know what to make of Gaga. "I knew going into it, it would be interesting," he said. "I don't think I was prepared for how interesting it was." McCreery said he felt like he needed to kiss his cross when they were through; Gaga apologized for pushing his boundaries, but said she "just wanted to open him up a bit."
Getting Alaina to open up was another obstacle. The teen had chosen to sing Elvis Presley's "Trouble," but balked at a line in the song that would require to say, "I'm evil." Gaga was the first person on the show to treat Alaina like a young woman and not a little girl. "Listen, you're not a kid, you're 16," she told her. She then asked her to inhabit the character of the song rather than getting tripped up by any particular lyrics. And when she finally got Alaina to accept the line, Gaga told her, "At the end of the day, the word 'evil' is not that big a deal, is it?'
The Elvis theme came back around during Gaga's mentoring of James Durbin, when she recommended Durbin swivel his hips like the King. "Get in your body a little more,' she suggested, and when he didn't immediately comply, she stood behind him, her hands on his hips, and moved them herself. "When you move those hips, you look sexy," she told him, encouraging him to shake his money-maker all over the "Idol" stage.
With her appearance on the singing show, Gaga became "Idol" 's topic of conversation for the second week in a row. Last week, Reinhart's decision to perform the not-yet-commercially-available "You and I," caused much controversy at the judging table. Credit Interscope Records head honcho and "Idol" mentor Jimmy Iovine for helping to turn "Idol" into a platform for one of his biggest artists, whose high-profile new album Born This Way is due May 23.
What did you think of Gaga as the "Idol" mentor? Let us know in the comments!

Rachel Uchitel To Be On ?Celebrity Apprentice?
Now some of the choices for Donald Trump's show 'Celebrity Apprentice' have been a little questionable to me (like, this person is actually considered a celebrity?), but this one truly has me surprised.TMZ is reporting that Tiger Woods' alleged mistress, Rachel Uchitel, has been invited to participate in the next season of 'Celebrity Apprentice.'
Trump -- a longtime friend of Tiger's -- told TMZ he personally called Uchitel three weeks ago and offered her a spot on the show .... telling her she'd be "awesome."We called Uchitel and asked if she was going to take the offer -- and she said, "Absolutely."NBC has the final say on whether Uchitel will be on the show, but Donald usually gets his way.Are you KIDDING me?

Michael Jackson Doctor's Trial Delayed
Judge pushes start of Conrad Murray's trial back to May.
By Gil Kaufman
Conrad Murray

LOS ANGELES — Though Conrad Murray's lawyers had been pressing for a speedy trial, a judge in the involuntary manslaughter case against Michael Jackson's doctor ruled on Wednesday to delay opening statements in the proceedings until May.
The Associated Press reported that Murray's attorneys consented to the postponement after they discussed the matter with prosecutors and both agreed they could be ready for trial by May 9.
According to a transcript from the closed-door session, though opening statements will not begin for several months, Murray told Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor that he did not want to forfeit his right to a quick trial, but agreed to the delay if screening of prospective jurors begins as scheduled on March 24.
"It is only acceptable to me if this is not strung along over a long period of time," Murray told the justice. "I don't want to lose my constitutional right to speedy trial." Murray — who has pleaded not guilty to the charges — reportedly has been in favor of having the proceedings begin as soon as possible because he is facing financial troubles, but he said he understands that the delay is necessary to allow both sides to prepare for the trial.
Pastor consented because he said he didn't want to lose a jury pool, and believed a month-long delay might let potential jurors shuffle their schedules for the case, which could take up to two months to decide. The judge has reportedly clashed with Murray's defense team in recent weeks, pressing them for answers about why they had not turned over more witness notes and other potential evidence to prosecutors in the run-up to the trial.
Cardiologist Murray was hired to be Jackson's personal physician while the King of Pop prepared for his planned 50-date comeback series of shows at London's O2 arena in the summer of 2009. The doctor told police that he provided the then-50-year-old Jackson with sedatives and the surgical anesthetic propofol in order to combat the singer's chronic insomnia. He said he did so on the morning of June 25, 2009, when Jackson died of what a coroner deemed acute propofol poisoning.
Murray's lawyers reportedly plan to argue that Jackson was already in weak health before he died, that it's unfair to blame propofol for his passing and that, if the anesthetic was to blame, the pop superstar may have given himself the fatal dose by drinking the drug in a panic.
A status hearing in the case has been set for this Wednesday.

Pet Tags
Man, I'm so irritated.
I just received four pets tags that I ordered for Bev and Mary Margaret (two for Brooklyn and two for LA) and they're all messed up. Not only did they leave off the "Margaret" on Mary Margaret's tags, but the text isn't centered correctly and runs off the right side on all four of them. (The last letter of the address is cut in half.) The tags themselves are also ugly. The edges aren't smoothed out... they look like someone just cut them from a piece of sheet metal and called it a day.
So anyway, I got them this morning on my way to Starbucks (yesterday's mail), so while I was there, I started drafting a strongly-worded letter in my head, like what I was going to say to these people when I sent them back.
And then I saw it.
In tiny print on the bottom of the invoice it said, "Our handicapped employees appreciate your order."
So now I can't send them back. If I did I'd be a total asshole.
I'm just going to order new ones from someplace else. Any recommendations?

Tupac Shakur's Only Screenplay To Be Made Into Film
'Live 2 Tell' is story of teenage drug dealer struggling to leave life of crime.
By Gil Kaufman
Tupac Shakur

During his short life, rapper Tupac Shakur was a notorious double threat, producing platinum albums and singles and earning notices for his acting in films such as "Juice" and "Poetic Justice."
But the thug life MC, who studied acting, poetry, jazz and ballet while performing in Shakespearean plays at the Baltimore School for the Arts as a teenager, not only acted in plays and movies, he also apparently wrote them.
And now the rights to the only full screenplay Shakur wrote while he was in jail, "Live 2 Tell," have been acquired by a production company that plans to start filming the movie next year, according to Variety.
One of the producers is Preston Holmes, who collaborated with Shakur's mother, Afeni, on the 2003 documentary "Tupac: Resurrection"; Afeni Shakur will be an executive producer on the $11 million project.
The script is described as the story of a teenage drug dealer and his struggles to leave a life of crime. It was written by Shakur while he served an 11-month sentence on sexual assault charges.
"This kid was a genius, and the net of it is, he was from this community, he knew the struggles these young people were dealing with," said Ivan Juzang, whose NStar Studios was behind the acquisition of the screenplay. "And he's able to talk to young people in 2011, 2012, the same way he was able to talk to young people in 1995." Holmes had originally contacted Shakur about the script when the rapper was still behind bars.
"We think that the name we need is the name we have, which is Tupac Shakur," Holmes said.
This is the second attempt at making the film. The script was first optioned more than five years ago by the Insomnia Media Group and was slated to start production in March 2006. No casting for that version was ever confirmed.

Exciting News
I have all but abandoned this blog and, for that, I am sorry. I am, however, going to get back to it because... wait for it, wait for it... I'm moving to LA for six months starting in June and I'm going to share every dirty detail with you!
You see, Mark and my good friend Patty are executive producers of a new television show that will be taping in New York from June to November. Instead of him getting his own apartment here, we thought it would be more fun to trade places. It's going to be like The Holiday and I get to be Kate Winslet. I'M GOING TO HAVE A CAR AND EVERYTHING. (Watch. Out.)
I'm looking forward to a change of scenery and have other friends out there besides him. Also, the movie is being released at the end of September, so it will be fun to be out there for that.
So anyway, that's what I've been up to—planning all this and getting ready for my (temporary) move. Stay tuned!

Is Susan Lucci Headed to 'Desperate Housewives'?
Could there be a new diva headed to Wisteria Lane? In the wake of the news that ABC has cancelled long-running soap opera All My Children, rumors are running wild that the daytime drama's icon Susan Lucci may be continuing her superstar reign over on Desperate Housewives!
Former All My Children castmate Elizabeth Rodriguez, while chatting with PopEater.com about her Tony nomination, sort of let the cat out of the bag that Erica Kane's infamous portrayer is reportedly going to bring all her fabulousness to Marc Cherry's campy primetime drama.
"She's going to Desperate Housewives apparently. She has a contract at ABC," Rodriguez said of Lucci. "You heard it here first. That's what I heard!"
The New York Post was told by a source at ABC that filming for All My Children would conclude in August, and that Desperate Housewives starts their production of the new season in July. But now that AMC films in California, it would be possible for Lucci to do both for the short period of time.
Neither ABC nor Lucci's people have chimed in on the casting news just yet, but wouldn't it be great if Lucci still got to play Erica Kane on Desperate Housewives? If a seasoned cat-fighter like that crossed their paths ladies, those ladies wouldn't know what hit them!

'Fast Five' Director Expects Superstar Cast Back For Sequel
'Now we know the audience wants the journey to continue,' Justin Lin says of giving franchise a sixth installment.

How did "Fast Five" director Justin Lin celebrate his film's epic opening weekend? With a nine-inch meatball sub that might have left him with a bit of indigestion were it not for the full-body euphoria that descended upon him when the action flicked ended up grossing $86.2 million domestically.
"That's been a tradition," Lin told MTV News by phone from Taiwan, where the film just had another overseas premiere. "A producer gives me the Friday numbers. Then I shut everything down and get a big meatball sandwich and conk out."
"Fast Five" stars Vin Diesel and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson didn't take in the good news in quite such a gluttonous way. "It's been so much fun traveling around with them," Lin said. "I had no idea the Rock was huge in Amsterdam! So I've gotten to joke around a lot with him on the road. And, you know, Vin and I have been talking since the fourth [movie] about trying to plant seeds for a trilogy. You do that hoping you'll earn it. The fourth one did so well and earned the fifth one. With me and Vin, now that the fifth has done well, it brings us back to that point of discussion of planting the seeds and growing it to the length we want."
That means, of course, a sixth installment of the "Fast and Furious" series. And if Lin gets his wishes, the entire all-star cast from "Fast Five" — including, Diesel, Johnson, Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson — will return for the new flick.
"I feel like that's appropriate," Lin said of the full cast coming back. "The sixth one, I have a very good idea of the arena we're going to be playing in. We talked about that stuff two or three years ago. And now I'll be on a plane with Paul or Tyrese, and it's just fun. When we get together, even outside of filming and talk about the characters, you don't even know if you're going to get to do it. But now we know the audience wants the journey to continue; I can sense the excitement with everyone that what we talked about is going to get to come to life."
What Lin and his team are going to bring to life, the director promised, will not be a retread of franchise films past. "You sometimes get the sense that when people make sequels, they get conservative," he said. "If something worked, they do it over and over and over again. You can say whatever you want about this franchise, but we've been able to try new things and grow and evolve. We're acknowledging growth not only for the characters, but visually and stylistically. There's this theme of family, and we'll explore it in different ways."
So what will this sixth film be called? Lin wasn't ready to reveal that just yet.
"I'm just enjoying 'Fast Five'!" he laughed. "The fun of naming it — and we always have a lot of fun with that — will come soon enough."

"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" is nominated for eight MTV Movie Awards, eclipsing the competition and leading the (wolf) pack as the most nominated film at this year's show.
With so many chances to take home some Golden Popcorn come Sunday, June 5, things look pretty good for "Eclipse," especially considering the franchise's Movie Awards history. Let's take a look at their 2011 prospects:
Best Movie
The competition: "Eclipse" is up against "Black Swan," "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1," "Inception" and "The Social Network."
Has "Twilight" won before?: Yes. In 2009, "Twilight" took home the prize, and in 2010, "New Moon" won. Will the streak stay alive for a third year? That's up to fans.
Best Female Performance
The competition: Kristen Stewart is up against Emma Stone ("Easy A"), Emma Watson ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1"), Jennifer Aniston ("Just Go With It") and Natalie Portman ("Black Swan").
Has "Twilight" won before?: KStew won in 2009 and 2010 and has her eye on the threepeat.
Best Male Performance
The competition: Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson are up against Daniel Radcliffe ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1"), Jesse Eisenberg ("The Social Network") and Zac Efron ("Charlie St. Cloud").
Has "Twilight" won before?: In 2009, no one from "Twilight" was nominated, and Zac Efron took it home for "High School Musical 3." In 2010, both guys were nominated and RPattz won (he also took home the Global Superstar award). Could this be Taylor's year?
Best Breakout Star
The competition: Xavier Samuel is up against Andrew Garfield ("The Social Network"), Chloë Grace Moretz ("Kick-Ass"), Hailee Steinfeld ("True Grit"), Jay Chou ("The Green Hornet") and Olivia Wilde ("Tron Legacy").
Has "Twilight" won before?: In 2009, RPattz won the then-gender-specific Breakthrough Male Performance award. In 2010, "Twilight" castmate Anna Kendrick won for her work in "Up in the Air." Perhaps some of that luck will rub off on Xavier?
Best Fight
The competition: Robert Pattinson's fight vs. Bryce Dallas Howard and Xavier Samuel is up against Amy Adams vs. the Sisters ("The Fighter"), Chloë Grace Moretz vs. Mark Strong ("Kick-Ass"), Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint vs. Death Eaters ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1") and Joseph Gordon-Levitt vs. Hallway Attacker ("Inception").
Has "Twilight" won before?: Cam Gigandet and Pattinson's big fight won in 2009, but "The Twilight Saga" wasn't nominated last year, when Beyoncé and Ali Larter took it home for "Obsessed." Perhaps voters will declare vamp fights the new catfights in 2011.
Best Kiss
The competition: Kristen Stewart's kiss with Robert Pattinson and her smooch with Taylor Lautner are up against Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis ("Black Swan"), Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("Inception") and Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1").
Has "Twilight" won before?: KStew and RPattz have ruled this category for two years running. Maybe fans will give the Bella and Jacob love a little shine at the 2011 Movie Awards.
Head over to MovieAwards.MTV.com to vote for your favorite flicks now! The 20th annual MTV Movie Awards air live Sunday, June 5, at 9 p.m. ET.
