March 10, 2011 @ 9:34 am PST    The Hangover, The Hangover: Part II     Allie Basilica    

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 couple, who kept out of the public eye, met in 2008 in New York City.

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

Sorry, Charlie: We're Giving You Up for Lent
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.

A voice over in the trailer hails 50's performance as the “most critically acclaimed role of 50's career.” Actual reviews are currently limited, but expected to surface any day - following the release date (which by chance, has not been announced).

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.

More wild Batman speculation! While on a press tour for "Red Riding Hood," Gary Oldman gave everyone a juicy hint about "The Dark Knight Rises" and who the main villain might be.

Oldman said, "I think it’s a villain from one of the old, old, from way back from the old comics. It is a Batman villain… It’s not going to be the Joker."

While we already sort of knew that last part (Nolan has said all along that he would not re-cast the role left open by the tragic passing of Heath Ledger), the bit about it being a vil

Actress Arielle Kebbel has appeared in just about every vampire project out there: "True Blood," "The Vampire Diaries," and even "Vampires Suck" have all featured Kebbel. Now, she's set to appear in the pilot for the gospel-inspired "Hallelujah."

The show, which some are calling "'Glee' for conservatives," will premiere on ABC this fall, and tells the story of a stranger who comes to a troubled town to renew their faith.
