John Cusack finally joins the ranks of action heroes in 2012. In the film, he tries to save his family as the world comes to an end, with the help of some mind-boggling special effects and director Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow). 

Some serious prognosticators insist that 2012 might really be our doomsday based on the ancient Mayan calendar. Cusack isn't among them.

Editor's note: Chris O'Dell's book,"Miss O'Dell: My Hard Days and Long Nights with The Beatles, The Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and the Women They Loved", is difficult to put down. The inside stories she tells are fascinating. We questioned Chris via email. Pictures of Chris O'Dell and her friends are in the slideshow at the bottom fo the page.

We have previously reported that Nicole's reality show which involves her going to a school has been delayed. The reason? With her busy schedule, she unfortunately couldn't prepare for college admission interviews and failed them all.

However, according to recent reports by students at Kunkook University in Seoul, Nicole has been spotted around the campus - and apparently she is taking veterinary program there. The date for the first episode is so far unknown, but as she began to start studying the program will no doubt start in close future as well. Will we be seeing Nicole digging the books - or will we be seeing her healing cute little animals? My guess is that I don't care, as long as I can get more of her.

A vet was not something I expected from Nicole.

Edit: I didn't realize how large the picture under the cut was, resized for the greater good if that's okay.

You cannot believe how thankful I am that Taylor Swift did not ruin that song. AND I CANT TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS SONG.

Did anyone catch that off tune note at 3:17?

Rihanna told the Mirror she’s proper excited about performing on The X Factor on November 29.

“I am beyond excited – it was the easiest decision I’ve ever made,” she said. “A lot of people watch the show over here on You Tube and I personally caught a lot of it when Leona Lewis was on who’s an amazing artist. So to say yes to Simon was an honour, especially as I know the show so well.”

Remember the post a few weeks where Jennifer Love Hewitt was seen heading to some pole-dancing lessons (maybe not under that premise, because it was more about how leggings are not pants). Apparently those lessons were put to good use in last night's episode of "Ghost Whisperer" where Love’s Melinda character “has a paranormal encounter with a stripper, who takes possession of her body to give her a message from the other side.”



Actresses in Stripper Roles:
Jessica Alba... check
Natalie Portman... check
Jessica Biel... check
Lindsay Lohan... check
Mena Suvari... check
Jennifer Love Hewitt.... check!

Obviously Geng is crying because he has to deal with a bunch pyromaniacs. :(

The curse of the swine flu seems to have struck SHINee. Having only just reported hours earlier that Jonghyun had recovered fully from swine flu, it was reported now that SHINee's leader, Onew has also been hit by it.

The announcement came at around 6pm on 7th November as it was reported that Onew had developed a gentle, mild fever last night. He was sent to the hospital today and tests have shown that he has contracted swine flu.

Onew has been prescribed Tamiflu and is now back home resting.

The other three SHINee members, Key, Minho and Taemin were also tested for precaution, and neither of them have shown any symptoms of the illness fortunately.

So despite welcoming Jonghyun back from illness, SHINee will perform as a 4-member group in Onew's absence on the 8th November episode of Inkigayo.




EDIT:

Super Junior's Eeteuk will replace Onew on Shinee's Ring Ding Dong stage.

Onew started showing symptoms yesterday afternoon and was sent to the hospital for a check up; he tested positive for swine flu this afternoon and is now currently resting at home

Eeteuk will make a sudden appearance on the second half of Shinee's Ring Ding Dong stage on SBS Inkigayo tomorrow to show support to his juniors. Jonghyun will also be back tomorrow to perform with the rest of the members.

In addition, Minho, Key and Taemin have gone for check ups as precautionary measure and have tested negative for swine flu.

Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis have been rumored to engage in a steamy sex scene in Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan. Portman recently talked to V magazine about the film and the scene, and while she makes a semantics argument against what's been reported, Natalie is certainly not denying it.

"It's not raunchy - it's extreme," she said. I'm sure there's a difference, if only qualitatively. The tone of the profile makes me think that the extreme scene will involve nudity. Both Portman and Kunis have done nude scenes before, Portman in the short Hotel Chevalier and Kunis in some direct-to-video thing, but now Portman says she's more open to that possibility than she would have been earlier in her career.

"Previously I was figuring out my own sexual identity, likes and dislikes and all that stuff, and it's weird to be doing stuff on film as you're figuring it out," she said. "Also, being a sexual object when you're a kid is really uncomfortable." Well, yes. There's that.

In a way, it's rather surprising that Portman has emerged so well-adjusted given her start on screen. "After The Professional, I was already getting creepy letters.”

Lost in all of this is the fact that it's a Darren Aronofsky movie and could be very good on its own merits without such a scene. It's always a curiosity when stars decide to take this plunge. Halle Berry's topless scene in Swordfish is completely ridiculous and even takes away from the movie. However, a few months later, her sex scene with Billy Bob Thornton in Monster's Ball has to be there, is clearly driven by the loneliness of the characters, and is uncomfortable to sit through as an audience member. It's always better to have a built-in reason for a scene like this.

WDYT? I don't know much about this movie but it's very unusual for a girl-on-girl sex scene to actually do more for a film than garner attention... idk.

Now, let's have a show of hands - who saw this one coming waaaaay back when we learned that MJ intentionally omitted his father from his will?




Joe Jackson Wants Money from MJ's Estate
Posted Nov 6th 2009 4:10PM by TMZ Staff

Joe Jackson claims there was "no justification" for him to be excluded from getting money from Michael Jackson's estate ... and now he's asking a judge to grant him a monthly allowance.

Joe just filed papers in L.A. County Superior Court, claiming he's "entitled to his own independent family allowance."

In the docs, Leonard Rowe -- a guy who claims to have been MJ's manager -- says Michael used to give his mother Katherine up to $60,000 a month to live on, and that Michael instructed her to give half of it to Joe.

Joe claims Michael's estate has "earned more than $100 million dollars in the first seven (7) weeks following Michael Jackson's death" and is "well able to afford a family allowance for Joe Jackson."

It's going to be a busy weekend for Mad Men star Rich Sommer.

Before the AMC drama wraps up its third season Sunday night (10/9c), Sommer will appear in a ripped-from-the-headlines episode of Law & Order (Friday at 9/8c on NBC).
