Jennifer Lopez and Adam Lambert full ready for AMA stage

Jennifer Lopez plans to include fireworks and an on-stage costume change in her performance at the American Music Awards. "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert will incorporate leather and chains into his.

Lopez and Lambert will be among more than a dozen performers at Sunday's ceremony, and they took time out Thursday to perfect their performances.

Lopez is in top form, but she's still a little nervous. She'll be singing a song fans have never heard before and performing live on TV for the first time in years.

"You know what you're doing and you feel very good about it, but at the same time, you wouldn't be human if you're not afraid," she said after her rehearsal.

She's set to perform "Louboutins," the first single from her new album, "Love?" — due in stores next year. Flanked by backup dancers, the 40-year-old entertainer busts out her Fly Girl moves in a number that begins in a boxing ring and ends in the audience. Famed sports announcerMichael Buffer is in the act, too.

"I think it's going to be good," she said. "Dancing again, singing, the lights and the costumes — it all feels like second nature."

Veteran choreographer Kenny Ortega, director of "Michael Jackson's This Is It," gave Lopez's performance a positive review.

"Awesome," he said after dropping by the Nokia Theatre to watch her rehearse.

Lambert, 27, said he's eager to see how the star-studded crowd responds to his provocative performance, a sexed-up rendition of "For Your Entertainment," the first single off his upcoming album of the same name.

"I can't wait to see people I look up to as artists in the audience watching. I think that will be a trip, and exciting and motivating all at the same time," he said after his rehearsal. "It will be really interesting to see what kind of reaction the number gets. It's different. It really does have an edge to it."

The performance is heavy on leather and chains and includes Lambert dragging a woman across the stage.

Other artists set to perform at the 37th annual American Music Awards include Rihanna, Whitney Houston, Green Day, Lil' Wayne, Lady Gaga, Eminem, Keith Urban, Jay-Z and Carrie Underwood.

The 23-year-old actress revealed she deliberately makes eccentric claims and comments to conceal her true self from the world.

'I've learned that being a celebrity is like being a sacrificial lamb,' Contactmusic quoted her as saying in an interview with New York Times magazine.

'At some point, no matter how high the pedestal that they put you on, they're going to tear you down. And I created a character as an offering for the sacrifice.

'I'm not willing to give my true self up. It's a testament to my real personality that I would go so far as to make up another personality... The reality is, I am hidden amongst all the insanity. Nobody can find me,' she added.

The sexy star has become infamous for delivering stinging soundbites and curious anecdotes about her eccentricities, stirring up controversy this year by comparing her Transformers director Michael Bay to Adolf Hitler and admitting to "bouts of schizophrenia".

But the 23-year-old actress reveals she's simply playing a game with the media every time she makes outlandish claims and comments - and then sits back as fans and critics alike try to figure out what's for real.

In an interview with New York Times magazine, she explains, "I've learned that being a celebrity is like being a sacrificial lamb. At some point, no matter how high the pedestal that they put you on, they're going to tear you down. And I created a character as an offering for the sacrifice.

Tiger Woods is setting into Melbourne

A black Holden Statesman was waiting on the tarmac to take Woods to his next destination, understood to be Crown, where he will be staying in a luxurious suite.

Wearing a red baseball cap, he was smiling as he shook hands with officials before getting into the car.
His entourage got into a second car, a silver Statesman, and followed Woods' vehicle out of the airport.

The aircraft was on the ground for 20 minutes before Woods and his entourage got off.

Tiger is being paid $3 million in appearance fees as the headline act for the Australian Masters at Kingston Heath, starting on Thursday.

Woods has only played in Australia on three previous occasions, most recently when he was part of the US team which lost the 1998 Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne.

While in Melbourne, Woods will live like a king in some of the world's most expensive and extravagant hotel rooms as he attempts to take out the Australian Masters.

"I'd like to win, no doubt. That's the whole idea of competing," he told Channel Nine last night.

“I’ve enjoyed taking home some of the costumes from movie sets, in particular when I played Lotte in Being John Malkovich,” she said. “That was really fun because I had these brown contact lenses and this crazy wig and I would go shopping as Lotte.

“People didn’t even want to help me.”

Diaz, 36, recently revealed she’s keen to make a third Charlie’s Angels film.

“People ask me about it all the time,” she said. “I would love to do it. It’s just a matter of us getting off our butts and doing it. Totally lazy! Our work ethic sucks, all of us.”

Asked if she thinks her co-stars in the film — Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore — would return for another movie, Diaz said, “I would love to do, but I have no idea. It’s not anything real. There’s no tangible evidence in my life.”

Michael Jackson's This Is It enters The Billboard 200 at #1

Michael Jackson's This Is It enters The Billboard 200 at #1, with first-week sales of 373,000 copies. This is the biggest weekly sales tally for a Jackson album since HIStory: Past, Present And Future-Book I rang up first-week sales of 391,000 in June 1995. This Is It outpaced the impressive tallies that Number Ones rang up in the weeks after Jackson's death. That greatest hits set posted sales of 339,000 and 349,000 in the first two weeks of July. So, Jackson is still setting records: No other artist has topped the 300,000 weekly sales mark twice this year, much less three times.

Jackson is the first artist to top The Billboard 200 posthumously since The Notorious B.I.G., who scored in March 2007 with Greatest Hits. This Is It posted the biggest posthumous weekly sales tally since an earlier Biggie album, Duets: The Final Chapter, which sold 438,000 copies in one week in December 2005.

This Is It reaches #1 by displacing another theatrical movie soundtrack, The Twilight Saga: New Moon. This marks the first time that theatrical movie soundtracks have topped the chart in back-to-back weeks since July 1998, when Armageddon replaced City Of Angels in the top slot.

This Is It is the first soundtrack to a concert movie to reach #1 since U2's Rattle And Hum logged six weeks on top in 1988. Two recent soundtracks from concert movies reached #3: Miley Cyrus' Best Of Both Worlds Concert and Jonas Brothers' Music From The 3D Concert Experience.

more information>>>

There's bound to be some debate over whether This Is It should be called a soundtrack. The album features studio (and a few demo) versions of the songs heard in the movie. The copy on the album cover is "the music that inspired the movie." The movie credits refer to it a "companion album" rather than a soundtrack. Nonetheless, Nielsen/SoundScan includes the album on its soundtrack chart. I, too, think it should be considered a soundtrack. The album has the same title and artwork as the movie poster and ads. It's not a soundtrack in the classic sense, but it's the closest thing to one that's available. If there were a chart for Top Movie Companion Albums, that would be the place for it. In the absense of that, we can call it a soundtrack.

Jackson long wanted to be a movie star, a sort of modern-day Fred Astaire. In death, he got at least part of his wish: a #1 box-office hit. This Is It topped the box-office in its opening weekend with a domestic gross of more than $23 million. Jackson is only the fifth music star in the last 25 years to star in a movie that came in #1 at the box-office and also spawned a #1 soundtrack (on which the star was featured). The others are Prince, with 1984's Purple Rain; Whitney Houston, with 1995's Waiting To Exhale; Will Smith, with 1997's Men In Black; and Eminem, with 2002's 8 Mile.

Oscar winner Morgan Freeman settles lawsuit over crash

Oscar winner Morgan Freeman has reached an out-of-court settlement with a woman who was his passenger in a car crash and later sued him, court documents showed on Thursday.

Details of Freeman's settlement with Demaris Meyer, the passenger in the August 2008 crash, were not made public in court records, and a spokesman for the actor said that no further details would be disclosed.

But as a result of the settlement, Chief Judge Michael Mills of the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Mississippi, dismissed the lawsuit on Thursday.

Meyer sued Freeman, 72, star of "The Bucket List" and "Bruce Almighty," in February, accusing him of negligence for failing to properly operate the car. She was represented by celebrity attorney Gloria Allred.

In a statement, Allred said Meyer "is pleased that the matter is resolved and the case is settled."

Meyer, who was an executive assistant before the crash, said when she filed the lawsuit that she met Freeman at a country club where they dined with mutual friends, and that she allowed him to drive her to his ranch home.

The crash happened near a home Freeman keeps in Charleston Mississippi, and neither he nor Meyer were hospitalized afterward.

Seeking to dispel speculation she and Freeman were in a relationship, Meyer has said she and Freeman were going to his ranch because it was close to her work and that she expected to have her own house on the ranch that night.

Freeman was separated from his longtime wife at the time and was in the middle of a divorce.

Freeman won an Oscar in 2005 for his supporting role in Clint Eastwood's boxing drama "Million Dollar Baby."

Interview with James Marsden and Cameron Diaz from the movie "The Box"

This preposterous Cameron Diaz thriller offers a promising premise: a mysterious box bestows riches in exchange for killing a stranger. But then it dumps in existentialism, government conspiracies, aliens, nosebleeds, deformities—and dresses it all in ugly '70s polyester fashions and geo-print wallpaper. Blecch.

The Bigger Picture: Bring back the giant rabbit! Director of the lyrical, haunting Donnie Darko (but then the critically panned Southland Tales) Richard Kelly just can't seem to catch lightning again—especially not in this empty Box.

Instead, lightning strikes sinister Arlington Steward (Frank Langella), a smooth-talking, Bond-worthy baddie. Sporting a gaping CGI burn hole in his face, Steward presents a bizarre box and proposition to Virginia couple Arthur and Norma Lewis (James Marsden and Diaz, with an unconvincing Southern accent). If they press the button on top, they'll get $1 million—but also murder someone they don't know.
Of course, this offer comes with rules—and their eventual actions contain consequences.

What should've been a taut suburban fright-fest is a failed morality experiment and Twlight Zone retread. The increasingly ludicrous plot, loosely based on Richard Matheson's classic short story "Button, Button" (as was a Twilight Zone ep), wanders into alien territory—literally—with nonsense involving Mars transmissions, Steward's posse of mind-controlled drones (zombies?), and clunky speeches about humanity and sacrifice.



Unintentionally funny moments abound, including Arthur's face-off with a nose-bleeding Librarian of the Damned, who forces him to choose a pathway to salvation. For some reason, said salvation involves huge water pods—and a later sacrificial ceremony involves a bubbling swimming pool.



Set in 1976, the pic plays like silly '60s sci-fi—but with a sizeable budget for special FX and actors (though none of the above impress). Langella's presence does class things up a bit, but he gets saddled with awful lines like, "I have done nothing. I am just a vessel."

This is one Box that should've been left on the shelf.

'Golden Girls' star Rue McClanahan recovering after heart bypass

The celebration at Yankee Stadium lasted into Thursday morning. Champagne was joyously sprayed throughout the clubhouse. And the architect of the World Series victory that prompted this party, general manager Brian Cashman, was softly chatting in front of the New York Yankees dugout.

Already talking about next year.

The Yankees will celebrate their 27th World Series championship with a parade today in lower Manhattan. But before the first pieces of confetti fall from the towering buildings, Cashman will be knee-deep into plans to assure that this becomes an annual ritual.

The Yankees, who went nine years without a World Series title, crave another dynasty. Since winning their first championship in 1923, they have only once won a World Series in isolation (1932), with every other title coming within two years of another.

"What we did was remarkable," Cashman said. "But there will be a new mission now. We'll celebrate, but the business side kicks in."

The Yankees do not intend to hold a spending spree like last year's $423.5 million for first baseman Mark Teixeira and starting pitchers CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett.

But they need more pitching after using only three starters in the playoffs.

They need setup relievers to ease the burden on closer Mariano Rivera, who will turn 40 at the end of this month.

And they need to make decisions on free agents Hideki Matsui, the Series MVP, left fielder Johnny Damon and left-hander Andy Pettitte.

"We spent money before, but they got it right (last offseason)," Rivera said. "It made our team complete."

Chris Paul talk lingers His Side of Spat With Rajon Rondo

On two separate occasions on Sunday night, Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul engaged in some less-than-friendly conversations on the court, with eyes of spectators and the lenses of TV cameras focused on them.

As it turned out, there was nearly a third encounter -- one which could the fans couldn't see and one which could have been costly.

According to a report by Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, Paul headed toward the Celtics' locker room after the game, shortly after he and Rondo got into their second shouting match of the evening. Several coaches prevented Paul from teaching Rondo to "respect [him] as a man," according to the report.

Part of the argument began when, sources tell Yahoo, Rondo told Paul, "I've got a ring, and you're never gonna win one."

Rondo also reportedly said that Paul's "frustration dripped with envy."

Paul's frustrations may have carried over into the next game, as the point guard -- widely considered the best in the game -- had another incident on Monday night against the Knicks. Paul dove for a loose ball and made contact with Al Harrington, and the league could review what exactly took place. The league is also reviewing the events of Sunday night.

Of course, both Paul and Rondo have at times let their "fire" or "competitiveness" spill over a bit on the court. Paul, while playing for Wake Forest, once punched an NC State player in the crotch, while Rondo has nearly squared off with Rafer Alston and Kirk Hinrich in the middle of games.

Part of Paul's issue may be the fact that Rondo and the Celtics have now defeated the Hornets in four straight contests, dating back to March 28, 2008. Rondo always elevates his game when playing against elite opponents, so when the Celtics travel to New Orleans on Feb. 10, the next chapter in the Rondo-Paul feud will undoubtedly be must-watch entertainment.
