Holly Deveaux will play Casey Anthony in Lifetime movie
Rob Lowe has been patiently waiting for a Casey Anthony to prosecute as Jeff Ashley in the Lifetime movie Prosecuting Casey Anthony, and now he has one. For those of you not familiar with the Canadian TV series Baxter, meet Holly Deveaux, pride of Toronto.
Shooting on the movie was slated to begin today in Winnipeg instead of Orlando, so Lifetime figured they should reveal the 19-year-old as their star. Deveaux beat out the likes of Kristen Stewart, Alyssa Milano and Jennifer Love Hewitt, all of whom manage to have resumes too impressive to star in a Lifetime movie. Are you listening, Lindsay Lohan? ... Read more
Jillian Michaels celebrates adoption of daughter, birth of son
Jillian Michaels is a long way from The Biggest Loser, celebrating the arrival of both an adopted 2-year-old girl and a newborn son by partner Heidi Rhoades. That's got to be plenty of a workout on its own.
"We're swimming in babies over here," the 38-year-old told People about daughter Lukensa, whom she adopted from Haiti, and little boy Phoenix, who was born May 3. "I don't even answer email. I don't have time to care about anything else," she added. "I want to be really present and enjoy all the nuances of their growth and development. I don't want to rush any of it." ... Read more
Lindsay Lohan wants to go to London to find Richard Burton
Lindsay Lohan has finally signed an official deal to play Elizabeth Taylor in a (snicker) Lifetime movie, and she's already acting like the diva we all knew she was and has no right to be. It seems she wants an A-list actor to play Richard Burton. She does realize this is Lifetime we're talking about, right?
It sounds like the lead choices are Gossip Girl's Matthew Settle, CSI's Craig Robert Young or Sean Maguire. Those are unacceptable, as far as Lohan is concerned: "Lindsay declared that none of the actors were the right fit and that she wanted to go to London to look for a possible Burton actor there," a source told RadarOnline.com. "Lindsay is being an absolute nightmare about who should play Burton. She believes Matthew Settle is too old to play the role, and she wants a major A-list star to be her co-star. However, her salary for the role took up a major portion of the budget, and the Burton gig will likely only pay $200k, max. The producers don't need to get Lindsay's approval of who will play Richard Burton, but they want to keep her happy." ... Read more
Former James Bond decries 007's Heineken deal for 'Skyfall'
You may have heard by now that MGM struck a $45 million deal with Heineken to have Daniel Craig order the Dutch beer in the upcoming Skyfall instead of James Bond's signature vodka martini. That has a former 007 shaken and stirred, saying that's just plain ridiculous. Who said that? Not Sean Connery. Not Roger Moore. Not Timothy Dalton or Pierce Brosnan. That leaves only George Lazenby. Wow, MGM must be very concerned.
Lazenby, who starred as bond only once in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, told TMZ breaking the tradition is sad, but studios "go where the money is," and Heineken has a lot of it. "Plus, it's not the best beer out there, either." No argument there. ... Read more
Young Buck will get 18 months in prison over gun charge
Another member of the G-Unit is headed for a world of trouble, as rapper Young Buck is headed to prison for 18 months for gun possession. And to think, his house was being raided by the IRS over tax debt.
TMZ says David Darnell Brown agreed to the sentence after agents raided his Nashville home in 2010 to collect on $300,000 in taxes. One of the items they decided to repossess was a .40 caliber Glock 22 with a bunch of ammunition. Since Brown is a convicted felon -- for stabbing someone at the Vibe Awards in 2004 -- it was decidedly illegal for him to own a firearm. ... Read more
Jersey Shore's Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino dishes on pill addiction
Jersey Shore's Mike Sorrentino finally is talking about his rehab situation with MTV, telling Sway the pressures of being on TV and getting paid to do nothing finally got to him. Well, we're trying to be supportive and all, but his show ain't exactly broadcasting live from the Syrian uprising or anything.
"My addiction was prescription painkillers. At first, I thought it gave me energy, I thought it helped me," he said. Apparently the late hours and constant travel started to get to him. "Being in this business is not easy." He added he "made a mistake by picking a substance over what I previously chose, which is fitness." ... Read more
Bar Refaeli flies the friendliest skies we've ever seen
Leonardo DiCaprio's ex-girlfriend, Victoria's Secret model Bar Refaeli, violated a little airspace on Monday by tweeting a photo of herself getting a little cozy in the cockpit. That sounds way dirtier than it really is.
"On my way to LA. Had a chat with the pilots," she wrote via @BarRefaeli. She's conspicuously free of tons of makeup, so if you ever wanted to know what the 25-year-old looked like on a trans-Atlantic flight, here's your chance. ... Read more
Ray J ends up in the hospital after Billboard Awards
More things happened to musicians during the Billboard Awards, like Ray J ending up in the hospital Monday and having to stay there. No, Chris Brown didn't have anything to do with it.
The R&B artist's rep told E! Ray J went to a Vegas-area hospital and "will remain there for treatment of exhaustion and jet lag." That has to bea euphemism for something, because he was at the awards show Sunday night and then was at a launch part for Prince Reigns, a hair product he's endorsing, at the Rio later that night. ...

Chris Brown was tossed out of a Vegas nightclub
It's been awhile since we heard about Chris Brown getting into any trouble, so thank goodness for the Billboard Awards. It seems Breezy got kicked out of a Las Vegas nightclub over the weekend after a bunch of girls there didn't do his bidding, the New York Post says.
The tabloid says Brown was at Haze nightclub at Aria in the CityCenter hotel and casino for a couple hours Saturday night chatting up a group of young women, buying lots of bubbly and working his game. Then things got ugly.
"Brown got visibly upset when the girls moved on to the next table," a source told the Post. "Brown approached the guys in the group (at the next table) and started getting visibly agitated. Brown stood up, and looked like he was about to start a fight when club security stopped him." ... Read more
