Well, Tracy Morgan apparently didn't feel that his apologies so far for his recent on-stage rant against the gay community had cut the mustard. The "30 Rock" and former "Saturday Night Live" star and stand-up comic appeared in Nashville at the behest of gay-rights advocacy group GLAAD to make yet another official apology - this time, to a media gathering.

Feuding, fussing rivals of the world . . . you now have no excuse! Yankee pinstripes may be worn in tandem with Red Sox red, LeBron James can break bread with Cleveland, and Republicans may reach across the aisle to Democrats, because Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have hugged it out!

At just 19 years old, newcomer Douglas Booth might seem very young to be playing a Shakespearean role as demanding as Romeo. But believe it or not, Booth is one of the oldest members of the cast.
The british actor joins "True Grit" star Hailee Steinfeld in the upcoming adaptation of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," making him about five years older than the 14-year-old Steinfeld, who is playing his love interest in the film.

Ah, the trials and tribulations of the poor, pretty young people. Apparently, there were a few things that nobody told the young stars of MTV's nearly-naked-werewolves drama "Teen Wolf" when they signed up with this operation. Namely, that prosthetic nails can become a serious pain in the hairy ass.

Courtesy of the UK Sun, here's the latest international trailer for "Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes," which features some new footage from the upcoming prequel starring James Franco.
So far, we know this much: a super-intelligent chimp named Caesar (Andy Serkis) is the product of genetic experimentation in present-day San Francisco. Eventually, Caesar leads an uprising against the father-and-son team played by John Lithgow and James Franco that altered him in the first place.

Last week's series premiere of "The Glee Project" had execs and analysts scratching their heads: the reality competition show was attached to one of the most popular scripted shows on television, yet the premiere saw only 455,000 viewers. Execs in charge of the show were especially disappointed as the preview video on YouTube (with the cast performing Katy Perry's "Firework") had gotten good traffic.

"Harry Potter" book series author J.K. Rowling has been teasing frothy-mouthed Potter fans eager for the release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" with a mysterious new site called Pottermore for the better part of a week.

Damn the rules, "White Collar"! Must the art thief with the cat-that-cooked-then-served-you-the-priceless-rare-canary grin have all the fun? Must the by-the-book-so-close-you-can-read-the-page-numbers-on-his-fingers partner get all the glory?
Quite frankly, this week the answer was "no" and "no." In fact, it's Agent Diana Barrigan (Marsha Thomason) that is thrown into the fire under the guise of a hard-nosed, harder-assed journalist's assistant.
