We haven't really heard anything about Josh Hartnett since he battled vampires in 30 Days of Night (although he was in Bunraku too, so that counts), but now Star is saying he's been seen around flavor of the month Amanda Seyfried lately. His model girlfriend Sophia Lie probably doesn't like that a whole lot.

The glossy says he and Seyfried went on a doubel date with Dexter couple Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter, who divorced but are apparently reconciling -- or are just "good friends," depending on whom you believe. "Amanda and Josh were so comfortable with each other," the mag's source said. "He really seemed into her." ... Read more

It's been about a week since M.I.A. flipped the bird at a TV camera during the Super Bowl hafltime, sending the NFL and NBC into spasms of fear over FCC fines. But what did Madonna think about it? Her Madgesty told Ryan Seacrest she thought it was pretty childish, bold words from someone who made her name wearing her underwear on the outside.

"I was really surprised. I didn’t know anything about it. I wasn’t happy about it," she told Seacrest on his radio show Friday, according to TMZ. "I understand it’s punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy, and positivity, it seemed negative. It’s such a teenager ... irrelevant thing to do ... there was such a feeling of love and unity there. What was the point? It was just out of place." ... Read more

tbd-adele021012.jpg

We were hoping to avoid dealing with Karl Lagerfeld's comments about Adele, but the award-winning singer is striking back at comments that she's "too fat" and putting the fashion kingpin in his place. Dad was right: Never listen to any man who never takes his gloves off.

"I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines," the 23-year-old singer tells People. "I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that." She was responding to comments Lagerfeld made to Parisian newspaper Metro earlier this week, in which he said, "The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice." What a sweet, utterly backhanded compliment. ... Read more

Fox's 'House' is ending its run after this season

tbd-hughlaurie021012.jpgHugh Laurie won't be making House calls anymore, as the long-running medical drama will close up shop after this season. Where will be get our Brits playing American doctors now? Oh, there's always Grey's Anatomy (thanks, Kevin McKidd).

"The decision to end the show now, or ever, is a painful one, as it risks putting asunder hundreds of close friendships that have developed over the last eight years — but also because the show itself has been a source of great pride to everyone involved," executive producers David Shore and Katie Jacobs told Entertainment Weekly in a statement with Laurie. "The producers have always imagined House as an enigmatic creature;  he should never be the last one to leave the party. How much better to disappear before the music stops, while there is still some promise and mystique in the air." ... Read more

Right after we reported Russell Brand was willing to settle his divorce from Katy Perry without taking any of her millions, Russell Brand has settled his divorce from Katy Perry without taking any of her millions. It's like thse gossip outlets are psychic or something.

tbd-arnoldstallone021012.jpg

Arnold Schwarzenegger just can't get away from Sylvester Stallone these days. Between working with him on The Expendables 2 and getting ready for another shoot, Arnie went in for some surgery only to find a familiar face waiting for him there, too. That media rivalry they had going in the '80s is going strong.

"After all the action, stunts & physical abuse shooting The Expendables 2 and The Last Stand, it was time for a little tune up on my shoulder," Schwarzenegger posted on his WhoSay page along with this photo. "Look who was coincidentally waiting in line behind me for his shoulder surgery. Now we're ready for another round of great times and action when we shoot The Tomb. #greattobeback" ... Read more

Selena Gomez visited a dying 13-year-old girl without telling anyone

tbd-selenagomez021012.jpgLet us tell you why Selena Gomez is going to far outlast her boyfriend Justin Bieber: Back on Dec. 13, the singer dropped everything she was doing and flew to Children's Hospital in Los Angeles to visit with a 13-year-old fan who suffers from progeria, a rare and fatal genetic disorder in which the victim ages eight to 10 faster than normal people. And instead of alerting TMZ, People magazine, the usual horde of paparazzi and the president, she took pictures with young Hana Hwang and went about her business.

Now, if you listen to Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show, you knew this was a part of annual KISSMAS charity campaign, but it looks like most of the gossip media (including The Juice*) has only just now heard of it. It seems Hana's tutor, Sara Kim, had entered the contest, asking only for a care package and Kindle for Hana, but once Ryan heard the kid listens to Gomez's song Who Says every day on her iPod, he called the singer, who was more than happy to visit, no questions asked (listen to the December radio broadcast below). ...
