Singer Katy Perry to appear in 'The Simpsons' Posted: 28 Sep 2010 04:57 AM PDT Singer Katy Perry will make a guest appearance in "The Simpsons" in a special live action episode which will see the animated characters turn into puppets. The usually animated characters - which include Homer, Bart and Lisa - are to appear as puppets in a segment of the episode, which will air in the US Dec 5. Perry will be seen playing the girlfriend of a cantankerous bartender named Moe, reports contactmusic.com. The 25-year-old singer, who shot her scenes this September, will be joined in the episode by TV host Martha Stewart, who will appear as a cartoon version of herself.

Actress Rachel Bilson won't strip for films Posted: 28 Sep 2010 04:54 AM PDT Actress Rachel Bilson has vowed never to strip for films. The former "O.C." star claims several directors have wanted her to appear naked in their films, but she has remained "strong-willed" and refused to take her clothes off. "They like to put in nudity wherever they can. But I'm pretty strong-willed and believe it can be avoided," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Bilson as saying. The 29-year-old actress says it is more awkward to shoot love scenes with a boyfriend than an actor you don't know. "Doing a love scene with someone that you're involved with is more awkward than doing a love scene with someone you're not dating," she said. "Either way, it's definitely weird though. It's certainly not normal to kiss a guy in front of 10 other guys and a camera," she added.

Singer Madonna to expand teen clothing range Posted: 28 Sep 2010 04:49 AM PDT Singer Madonna will now expand her teen clothing range "Material Girl" by including swimwear and lingerie. The 52-year-old singer launched the range some time back with her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes. "We're focused on rolling Material Girl out into additional categories, including swim and intimates and expanding the dress assortments. We launched footwear with ballet flats this season but we're going to expand into a full footwear collection going forward. It's all under discussion," contactmusic.com quoted a spokesperson for the line as saying. The collection, which offers clothes, footwear, handbags, jewellery and accessories, modelled by Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen, is available at US store Macy's.

Actress Jenny McCarthy Relationship with Carrey stopped being fun Posted: 28 Sep 2010 04:45 AM PDT Actress Jenny McCarthy, who split from boyfriend actor Jim Carrey earlier this month, said they broke up because their relationship stopped being fun. "You know, the simple word I can give - and there's a few, so let me say a few. The first thing is, when it's not fun anymore, you need to start investigating and do an inquiry into the relationship," people.com quoted her as telling TV host Oprah Winfrey on her show The Oprah Winfrey Show. The actress and former Playboy model also addressed her image while she was dating Carrey and what it meant to be a partner of a Hollywood A-lister. "My identification wasn't caught up in being a celebrity's girlfriend. I did check on that, by the way. I checked into myself. How does my ego feel? My ego's fine. I'm a warrior mom. I always got back on my feet, and I know especially this year who I am," she added.

Pop star Lady Gaga's grandfather passes away Posted: 28 Sep 2010 04:39 AM PDT Pop star Lady Gaga is mourning the death of her grandfather Joseph Germanotta. He passed away Friday. He was 88. The pop superstar jetted back to her native New York last week to visit her grandfather at the Lincoln Park nursing home in New Jersey. Dailystar.co.uk reports, Germanotta passed away two days after Gaga's visit. Gaga spoke about her grandfather's health troubles at a show earlier this year, telling the crowd: "I don't always talk about my personal life but my grandpa's sick. I'm really close with my grandpa and he's really sick and he's in the US and my dad's with him. So I was, like, crying all day, really sad. So I thought I would be honest and tell you that's what's going on... It's been one of those tough things that my grandpa's too old to come to my show."

Shah Rukh Khan not performing at Commonwealth Games opening ceremony Posted: 28 Sep 2010 04:28 AM PDT Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will not be performing at the Oct 3 opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games (CWG), organisers said Tuesday. "Shah Rukh is definitely not performing at the opening ceremony. However, I don't know if he is planning to attend the event or if he has received any invite from the organising committee. But he is not performing," Viraf Sarkari, director of Wizcraft International Entertainment, told IANS over phone from Mumbai. The opening ceremony of the Oct 3-14 mega sports event will be a mélange of Indian dances and songs, said Sarkari. Wizcraft is behind the cultural evening at the event. Oscar winning composer A.R. Rahman will be performing a few songs, apart from the latest version of the CWG anthem. But the Bollywood quotient will take a back seat as India's cultural heritage will rule the stage on D-day, added Sarkari. The opening ceremony will take place at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.

Paris Hilton settles lawsuit with Hallmark Posted: 28 Sep 2010 04:21 AM PDT Socialite Paris Hilton has settled a lawsuit she had filed against greeting cards manufacturer Hallmark for allegedly using her image without permission. The hotel heiress sued bosses at the firm in 2007 claiming they used her picture and her catchphrase, "That's Hot!", on a card which was captioned "Paris's First Day as a Waitress", reports dailystar.co.uk. She alleged the card was based on a scene from her hit reality TV show "The Simple Life" and claimed her publicity rights had been violated. Hilton was expected to battle it out with Hallmark heads in court December, but last week lawyers for both sides told a California judge they had reached a settlement. The details of the agreement have not been released.
