Teen Pop Sensation Justin Bieber is soon to be a T.V. star. He’s signed on to guest star on the hit CBS series CSI. In the September 23rd episode CBS tells us that Bieber “will play Jason McCann, a troubled teen who is faced with a terrible decision regarding his only brother-a decision that leads him into an explosive confrontation with the CSIs. It is the beginning of an emotional story that will conclude later in the season.” CBS also teases that this will not be the only episode Bieber is in. They are hoping it turns into a multi-episode story arc.
Halle Berry is the latest star to lend her voice to the Fox animated series The Simpsons. According to EW.Com The actress will play herself in a story which see her present an Academy Award to both Bart Simpson and his dad Homer. The episode is set to air in early 2011.

American born, Canadian raised character actor Maury Chaykin passed away early Tuesday morning in a Toronto hospital on his 61st birthday following kidney problems.
The Internet Movie Database lists Maury as having played 153 different roles, and his most notable include HBO’s ‘Entourage’, ‘Dances With Wolves,’ ‘A Life Less Ordinary,’ ‘Mystery, Alaska,’ ‘My Cousin Vinny’ and ‘The Mask of Zorro.’ Most of his roles were small character roles, but he did star in a few productions including ‘The Golden Spiders: A Nero Wolfe Mystery’ and ‘Whale Music’. He won a Best Actor Genie for the latter role.
He is survived by his wife Susanna and his daughter Rose.
Spencer Pratt has been known to be pretty out there when it comes to his theories (for instance in 2009 he and his wife Heidi Montag claimed that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job) but now he seems even crazier than ever. Ever since his break up with Heidi he’s gone into seclusion, and had little to no contact with his ex. He recently told x17online.com that ’she ‘doesn’t talk to me… because I’m loco.’
Well it seems like he speaks truly, especially if the recently surfaced pictures of the 26-year old tell the story correctly. Instead of the clean shaven Hollywood pretty boy, we now have a bushy bearded, wild haired man who looks like he’s been lost in the woods for a few months without a razor. You can see the pictures here. When asked about his new look he told People that ’I've already gone for the blonde, spiky-haired look. Now I’m going for the Hollywood producer look. I’m an artist now. I have an easel and everything. I’m going for an art show and a gallery.’
Spencer recently made the news as well when he tried crashing The Hills reunion party. Security was on the look out for him though, and refused him entry.
People magazine is reporting that this weekend Amanda tweeted “I’m unretired” to her followers.
Back in June Amanda stated that being an actress wasn’t any fun anymore, and that she doesn’t do things that she doesn’t love. At 24 her age is starting to show though as she flips on the decision.
Amanda Bynes next movie is Easy A, which is due to hit theaters on September 17th.

What does the name Isaiah Mustafa mean to you? To many people the name wouldn’t ring any bells, but if you mention the Old Spice guy everyone would know who you were talking about. If you look Isaiah Mustafa up on the imdb you’ll see that he had credits dating back to 2005, but none of the roles have been memorable. All it took however was a commercial of Isaiah wearing a towel and telling women that their men couldn’t look like him, but could smell like him for his career to take off.
Recently Isaiah began offering to do personalized commercials for his fans. It was his way of earning a quick buck, and giving himself even more exposure with the 15 minutes of fame he’d been given. Now if you look up the Old Spice guy on Youtube you’ll see hundreds of personalized messages. Recently celebrities have been getting involved, including Alyssa Milano, Ashton Kutcher, and Rose McGowan. Alyssa and Rose have both even recorded their own messages wearing nothing but a towel.
Tv Guide has an interview with Isaiah, where they talk to the former football player about his recent success, and how he feels about the commercial being nominated for an Emmy.
Movie and television stars, sports stars, musicians and even celebrity chefs have all come together to ask people to sign a petition to force the American government to fund a plan to restore the gulf after the BP oil spill disaster.
Sandra Bullock, Blake Lively, John Goodman, Lenny Kravitz, Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews and Emeril Lagasse are among the stars asking for people to sign their name and be heard by the government. It’s a program run for Restore The Gulf’s ‘Be the One’ campaign.
“What can you offer?” Bullock asks in the video. “Your voice. Speak up.”
John Goodman asks you to be the one for sea turtles.
The campaign is presented by the Women of the Storm, “a non-partisan non-political alliance of Louisiana women whose families, businesses and lives were affected by Hurricanes Katrina and/or Rita.”
Rumors have been flying for the last few days about whether or not former Heroes star Ali Larter was pregnant, and now her rep has confirmed that the rumors are true.
Her rep told People Magazine that “Ali and Hayes are thrilled to be expecting their first child.”
Ali and her husband, fellow actor Hayes MacArthur, were married last August. It was the first marriage for both of them, and this will be their first child. The baby is due this winter.
Ali rose to fame in 1999’s Varsity Blues when she wore a whipped cream bikini in one of the scenes.
In a day when Lindsay Lohan has been sent to jail, there have been a few other breaking stories popping up around the internet.
Madonna has been cited for noise pollution in London. The funniest thing about it all is that she wasn’t even home. Her staff were throwing a party in her absence. If she is cited for similar offences in the future the Material Girl faces a possible court case, and a fine up to $5,000.
Hayden Panettiere says that there are no problems on the set of Scream 4, contrary to reports that have been coming out. It’s been rumored that there have been cast changes and a lot of arguments over the script. Actress Lake Bell dropped out just before filming began, and there has been a lot of talk about Panettiere being unhappy with the script. She says she’s having a blast filming the movie though, and loves working with director Wes Craven.
Rumors continue to swirl the internet as to who soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo’s baby mama is. He’s being very tight lipped, and whoever is the mother isn’t talking either. The tabloids are claiming that it is a waitress from America with whom he had a one night stand, and yet others are saying it was planned and he chose a surrogate mother for his child. Perhaps we’ll find out more in the next few days, and discover the truth of the matter.
Lindsay Lohan surrendered at court this morning and was taken away in handcuffs to begin serving her 90 day jail sentence. In all likelihood Lindsay will only serve 22 days of her sentence, due to overcrowding in LA Jails. She is most likely going to serve her time in isolation at a women’s jail in the suburb of Lynwood. This is the same jail that Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Michelle Rodriguez and Khloe Kardashian served their sentences in.
One wonders if any pictures will surface of Lohan wearing the jail-issued jumpsuit she will be forced to wear.
TMZ has been reporting on the topic all morning, even having a live feed from outside the courtroom running. People can sit back and watch, or add their own two cents in the accompanying chat.
It has also been learned that Robert Shapiro, the lawyer most famous for defending O.J. Simpson and who was hired by Lohan last week to represent her, quit the case the night before she was due to surrender. The reasons are unclear, but speculation is that Shapiro told Lohan that he would not represent her unless she agreed to serve her time and not try to appeal her sentence.

ESPN reported and Dancing With The Stars contestant Erin Andrews has had a rough go of it these last few months. First she gets a stalker, who seriously threatens her, he finally goes away and now she finds out that a hotel was giving her stalker easy access to her.
Celebrity blog TMZ broke the news that Erin Andrews is now suing a chain of hotels who let Michael David Barrett (her stalker) stay in the room next door to her in Chicago. If that wasn’t bad enough apparently they allowed him to create peephole video of Erin by filming through the hotel room door. Rumour has it he uploaded the peephole video of Erin Andrews to the Internet, but we aren’t going to search to find out if it’s true. If that’s not enough to make you want to stay home every night then I don’t know what is!
Erin Andrews is suing the hotels for $1.2 million for negligence. While suing the whole hotel chain for millions may be over the top, the employee who gave out her room number should probably start looking for a new job.
It’s been a busy few weeks for celebrity marriages. Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher did it, so did Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, and now Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz have tied the knot in a low profile wedding in the Bahamas.
Both Javier and Penélope are Oscar winners (he for No Country for Old Men, and she for Vicky Christina Barcelona), and they have been dating since 2007. It’s been a secret relationship for most part, as neither one of them would comment on it.
Only friends and family attended the small wedding at a friend’s house, and Penélope’s dress was designed by John Galliano.
As reported a week and a half ago Mel Gibson has been accused of making more racist slurs, and now radaronline has reported that they have a copy of the audio and have posted it on their website here. You may or may not be able to hear the audio depending on where you live, but if you are in the U.S. you’ll be able to hear someone who sounds a lot like Mr. Gibson in the midst of a profanity laced racist rant.
Now, radaronline is reporting that the tapes have been subpoenaed by the Los Angeles Police Department due to their ongoing investigation. Mel has been accused of knocking out two of Oksana Grigorieva’s teeth last January when he allegedly punched her in the face. How this managed to avoid being reported at the time is beyond me.
Mel was also dropped by his talent agency over the weekend, so he may have a hard time finding any work at all in the near future.
The Hollywood community is shocked by the accusations, but one star has gone on record to state that he hopes Mel Gibson can move past this. Robert De Niro told an Australia reporter that ”I hope he gets through all this. It’s unfortunate for him. You know?”
Here are the celebrity birthdays for this week in July:
July 11: Lil’ Kim (35), Suzanne Vega (51), Richie Sambora (51), Sela Ward (53), Giorgio Armani (76) July 12: Topher Grace (32), Michelle Rodriguez (32), Cheryl Ladd (59), Richard Simmons (62), Bill Cosby (73) July 13: Cheech Marin (64), Harrison Ford (68), Patrick Stewart (70) July 14: Jackie Earle Haley (49), Jane Lynch (50), Harry Dean Stanton (84) July 15: Diane Kruger (34), Brian Austin Green (37), Forest Whitaker (49), Kim Alexis (50) July 16: Corey Feldman (39), Will Ferrel (43) July 17: David Hasselhoff (58), Donald Sutherland (75)
