March 10, 2011 @ 10:49 am PST    Jersey Shore, Comedy Central Roast     Andy Neuenschwander    

Apparently, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's jokes aren't as strong as his abs. The "Jersey Shore" star performed some material at the Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump, and apparently bombed so badly that he was met with boos from the crowd.

Sitch tried some "Jersey Shore" related humor, turning to Whitney Cummings with this gem: "I actually wouldn't call you a grenade because you won't be blowing up anytime soon.

What do you do when a music show like "American Idol" is beating you in the ratings? Throw a little music into your own show, of course!

That's exactly what "Grey's Anatomy" will do in their first episode back from hiatus, on March 24th. The hospital drama has a musical episode in store, which means we'll be seeing the doctors of Seattle Grace singing and dancing in the halls (and maybe even in the OR).

In "The Hangover" Justin Bartha gets the girl, in real life - not so much.

Sources are reporting to PEOPLE this morning that Bartha, 32, and his love of almost 3 years, Ashley Olsen, have gone their separate ways.

The 24-year-old actress and fashion designer sparked engagement rumors last year wearing a sparkly diamond on a particular finger.

March 10, 2011 @ 7:28 am PST    Two and a Half Men     Richard Sharp    

Well, it’s official. Yesterday we asked our readers if they thought we should give up Charlie Sheen coverage for Lent, and by our pseudo-scientific measurements, you said “yes” by about a 5:1 margin.

So Sheen, though you may have Tiger’s Blood running through your veins, though you may be “winning” with the blessed Adonis DNA you possess, for the next 40 days (okay, 39 really) we’re just plain not going to report on you.

May the countdown begin. In 9 days, Robert Pattinson will plop onto a comfy chair aside Jay Leno to promote his new film “Water for Elephants,” co-starring Reese Witherspoon.

Although he usually remains mum on his private affairs (including his rumored relationship with “Twilight” co-star Kristen Stewart), Pattinson could take the talk-show appearance as an opportunity to open up.

Casting announcement for ABC's musical pilot "Hallelujah" continues to pour in, as two new names have been added to the cast list. They're good ones, too: "Lost" star Terry O'Quinn and "Terriers" star Donal Logue will join Jesse L. Martin, Frances O'Connor, and Arielle Kebbel on the musical pilot.

O'Quinn is famous for playing John Locke on ABC's hit show "Lost," a character who dealt with many of the same themes that "Hallelujah" will cover, like faith and the struggle between good and evil.

I know that everyone has been just dying to hear the latest news on the "Twilight" toiletry front, so here it is: Bath & Body Works is suing Summit Entertainment (the studio behind "Twilight") over a set of beauty products that the company sells.

If that sounds backwards to you, you're right. Bath & Body Works is reportedly under threat from Summit for the products, and is hoping for a declaratory judgement in their favor.

Gwyneth Paltow’s performance on “Glee” is causing controversy, as fans realize one of her covers will make money for a convicted sex offender.

“Glee” is taking heat for featuring a song by shamed pop star Gary Glitter. During Tuesday’s episode entitled “Sexy,” Gwyneth Paltrow played a substitute teacher, Holly Holiday. While teaching the high school students sex education, she sung Glitter’s 1973 track “Do You Wanna Touch Me? (Oh Yeah).

The trailer for 50 Cent’s movie “Things Fall Apart” is making rounds through the Internet, following its premiere at the Miami Film Festival last weekend.

Kat Graham of 'Vampire Diaries' to Release Solo Album 'I Want It All'
March 10, 2011 @ 6:00 am PST    The Vampire Diaries     Andy Neuenschwander    

There's been a noticeable surge in actors trying to break into the music business lately. Perhaps it's the "Glee" influence (Gwyneth Paltrow notably is planning on her own solo album with Atlantic Records), maybe it's just coincidence, or maybe the cross-platform nature of media these days is causing more entertainers to go across other media.

In any case, Kat Graham, who plays Bonnie on "The Vampire Diaries," is the newest TV star to announce a solo album.
