James Gandolfini is a busy man these days. In addition to nine television and movie projects in various stages of production, the "Sopranos" star found time to get married this weekend.
James Gandolfini married his girlfriend Deborah Lin on Saturday in Lin's hometown of Honolulu, Hawaii.
"There was a nice big kiss at the end with both hands on the cheeks," a guest told reporters. "They looked great."
The couple has been an item since January 2007, and confirmed their engagement to reporters in January. It is the second marriage for Gandolfini, who divorced his wife Marcy in 2002. Gandolfini's son from the previous relationship, Michael, reportedly served as best man on Saturday.
But Gandolfini may have to cut his honeymoon short, as he is currently filming the Jake Scott drama "Welcome To The Riley", about a troubled young woman who unites a grieving couple who have drifted apart after the death of their daughter.
The actor will also be seen next month in Spike Lee's war thriller "Miracle At St. Anna", the story of four black American soldiers who get trapped in a Tuscan village during WWII.
"Friends" star, and John Mayer ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston is returning to her roots at NBC. Aniston is currently filming a guest appearance on the hit comedy "30 Rock", starring Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan and Tina Fey.
Little is known about the role Aniston will play, and the plot has been kept top secret. But a leaked video from TMZ shows Aniston and show star Jane Krakowski working together in an outdoor shoot - but little can be gained about the plot.
"30 Rock", a New York based television series, created by Saturday Night Life alumni Tina Fey, will start its third season in October. Fey admits her creation was influenced by her days on SNL.
Alec Baldwin and Fey star in the series about a behind-the-scenes look at Liz Lemon (Tina Fey), the new head writer of the sketch comedy show "TGS with Tracy Jordan", and how she must deal with an arrogant new boss (Alec Baldwin) and a crazy new celebrity star (Tracy Morgan), all while trying to run a successful television show without losing her mind.
"30 Rock" has won a loyal following of viewers, and critics seem to love the show's concept. The series has won a Golden Globe Award, Peabody and last year's Emmy Award for outstanding comedy series.
Jennifer Aniston will also be seen this December starring next to Owen Wilson in the comedy "Marley & Me", where a family learns important life lessons from their adorable, but naughty and neurotic dog, The film is based on the memoir by John Grogan.
In February 2009, Aniston will be seen starring with Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson, Drew Barrymore, Ben Affleck, and Justin Long in the comedy "He's Just Not That Into You", a Baltimore-set movie of interconnecting story lines that deals with the challenges of reading or misreading human behavior.
An air-conditioning technician is being held by Santa Monica police in connection with the murder of three women, one of them being the ex-girlfriend of celebrity Ashton Kutcher.
DNA evidence was used to connect Michael Gargiulo, 32, of Santa Monica, with the stabbing deaths. Gargiulo has been in custody since July on unrelated charges and could face new murder charges as early as next week.
Santa Monica police reported that DNA collected from a crime scene earlier this year link Gargiulo to the knife assault deaths of women from Los Angeles, Chicago and Monterey Park. One of the victims was 22-year-old Ashley Ellerin, Ashton Kutcher's ex-girlfriend, who was found dead in February 2001 in her home in the Hollywood Hills.
Ashton Kutcher, who starred in the recent comedy "What Happens In Vegas" with Cameron Diaz, and is married to celebrity Demi Moore, told police he went to pick up Ashley Ellerin for a Grammy party, but she did not come to the door. Kutcher looked in a rear window and saw what he believed were red wine stains on the floor and left. Friends found Ellerin's dead body the next day.
Gargiulo was being held pending a $1.1 million bail on charges of attempted murder and burglary charges from the April 28 death of a Santa Monica woman in her home.
Gargiulo's attorney, Anthony Salerno, said his client was not involved in any of the murders and "thinks the police are out to get him." He said Mr. Gargiulo has pleaded not guilty to the attempted murder and burglary charges and is scheduled for a hearing on September 4.
Ashton Kutcher can be seen later this year opposite Michelle Pfeiffer and Kathy Bates in the film "Personal Effects", about what happens to a couple after the loss of family members, while they try to cope with their destinies. -
Poor Selena Gomez. One minute she is accused of a nasty, bitter feud with Miley Cyrus, and the next minute she tells the world the two young pop stars are best friends forever.
Her wholesome image has been tarnished with leaked internet photos, and she is accused of being positioned as the next Hanna Montana. That's a lot of pressure for a young actress and singer.
But now Gomez has the opportunity to show audiences that she can carry a full-length feature film in the romantic musical comedy "Another Cinderella Story", an original musical dance comedy based on the Cinderella fable and directed by Damon Santostefano.
As you can imagine, the story is a familiar one, but with a twist. An ultra modern setting for "Another Cinderella Story" finds Selena Gomez in the modern teen world of cell phones and pop music. Instead of loosing her slipper at the ball, she looses her Zune music player, her mother goes "clubbing" with Paris Hilton, and pop music and dance routines showcase the actress and the movie's characters.
It is the story of young love, and how far one will go to fit in.
Plot: A young man (Andrew Seeley) who dances with what could be the girl of his dreams (Selena Gomez) at a costume ball, only has one hint at her identity: the Zune she left behind as she rushed home in order to make her curfew. And with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him, he sets out to find his masked beauty.
Kids will love this movie - adults, not so much. It lacks the glitz of "Ironman" or "Indiana Jones", and is clearly a vehicle to show off the young talents of Selena Gomez. The film is a mindless romantic comedy, with a lot of singing and dancing, and a harmless way to spend an afternoon. Watch Selena Gomez In "Another Cinderella Story" Movie Trailer"
Selena Gomez can currently be seen starring as Alex Russo on the family comedy television series "Wizards Of Waverly Place", a story that centers on a family in New York City that owns a restaurant where, behind the scenes, the kids can do real magic.
Gomez has also appeared in three episodes of "Hanna Montana", voiced the character of Helga in "Horton Hears A Who" starring Jim Carrey, and will appear as herself in the "Jonas Brothers: Living The Dream" concert series documentary.
The next big television project for Gomez is the family comedy "Princess Protection Program", due in January and starring Demi Lovato. The film focuses on a tiny country that is invaded by a dictator, and the young Princess (Demi Lovato) who is taken into custody by the Princess Protection Program. _
When the world is threatened… When our lives are at risk… Who can save us?
You can tell summer is drawing to a close when films like "Disaster Movie" start showing up in theaters. The big Spring epics are behind us, and movie studios are preparing for the Thanksgiving through Christmas release of the next wave of blockbusters.
In the meantime, we have to wade through the jungle of high school comedies that will be with us for another two months.
"Disaster Movie" is one of those flicks you will either love or hate, a throwback to the "Airplane" and "Scary Move" style of comedy. The plot is simple: Over the course of one evening, an unsuspecting group of twenty-somethings find themselves bombarded by a series of natural disasters and catastrophic events.
And the scenes are full of parody, sometimes razor sharp, with impersonated cameos from Hollywood's biggest celebrities, in a setting that says what you and I would like to say, but just can't muster the nerve.
It's all here in "Disaster Movie". You don't even have to try - it just comes at you over and over, with jokes and celebrity ribbing that will have you laughing just thinking about what went on during the filming of this movie.
There are appearances from Iron Man, Hanna Montana, Amy Winehouse, The Incredible Hulk, Will Smith as Hancock and a funny "Juno" meets "The Zohan" scene that is hilarious.
This is a movie for those people who have seen way too many movies this summer, and know way too much about them. You won't recognize any of the real actors, but you will recognize the actors they are spoofing.
Justin Timberlake, Hellboy, Kung Fu Panda, Enchanted, Desperate Housewives, Sex And The City, Indiana Jones - they're all here. You will recognize every joke, every jab and every impersonation.
"Disaster Movie" is the perfect way to say good-bye to summer and get ready for round two of the epic blockbuster movies hiding just around the corner.
Wow, here is one you don't hear everyday in Hollywood.
We're all familiar with the constant stream of celebrities entering rehab for alcohol, drugs, and who knows what, but "X Files" star David Duchovny has checked himself in for an addiction to sex. Really?
The story was first reported by People Magazine on their website.
In a prepared statement released Thursday by his lawyer, Stanton Stein, Duchovny said he entered the rehabilitation center on his own, saying:
"I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction. I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."
Duchovny, 48, currently portrays the sex-obsessed character Hank Moody in the Showtime series "Californication", whose second season starts September 28. This must truly be a situation of life imitating art, or a huge publicity stunt.
Duchovny recently appeared in the film "The X Files: I Want to Believe" in July, starring alongside Gillian Anderson. He has been married to actress Tea Leoni since 1997, and the couple has two children, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd who is 6.
Duchovny does have an untitled television project in the works for later this year starring with A.J. Holyfield, where he plays a faculty member at a junior high school with an over-achieving student who turns his school's A.V. Club into a hard-hitting news show.
We knew things could get strange in Hollywood, and suspect there may be more to this story then we know at this point. We'll keep you in the loop as we learn more. _
Remember Mackenzie Phillips? She played Julie Cooper Horvath on the long running '70s sitcom "One Day At A Time".
Phillips left the show several times, but finally left for good in 1981. The producers wrote her character out by saying she was leaving to train for her new job. But Phillips really left the series because of a well-documented drug abuse problems.
Now, Mackenzie has been arrested for heroin and cocaine after she was found carrying the drugs at Los Angeles International Airport LAX. Police said the actress was arrested Wednesday.
Mackenzie, 48, was traveling to New York when she failed a security screening, and an ensuing search revealed a small amount of cocaine and heroin.
Mackenzie Phillips is the daughter of John Phillips, from the musical group the "Mamas and the Papas", and has battled drug addiction for years.
She returned to television in 1999 starring in the Disney Channel series "So Weird", about a young girl who travels around the country continually stumbling over supernatural occurrences, and without anyone to believe her, she posts what she finds on her website entitled "So Weird".
The actress has also appeared in the movies "American Graffiti" portraying Carol, and the sci-fi thriller "The Jacket" playing a nurse.
Phillips has also appeared in guest roles on various TV shows including "Cold Case", "7th Heaven", "NYPD Blue", "Without a Trace", "The Division", "ER", "Walker, Texas Ranger", "Caroline in the City", "Melrose Place" and "Beverly Hills, 90210"

Rapper and Gangsta songwriter Dr. Dre's son has been found dead - he was only 20 years old. A statement from the singer's publicist, Lori Earl, on Tuesday stated only:
"Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr."
The young man was found dead Saturday by his family in their home in Woodland Hills, California the local county coroner's office reported.
An autopsy was conducted Monday, but the cause and manner of death will not be known for two months while toxicology tests are completed.
Dr. Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, has written and produced music for many big-budget movies including "New Jack City" starring Wesley Snipes, "Natural Born Killers" starring Woody Harrelson, "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu and "Failure to Launch" starring Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Dr. Dre has also produced songs for three episodes of the popular television show "Generation Kill", as well as "Scrubs", "Beavis and Butt-Head", and for the hit video game "Grand Theft Auto" -
The legions of fans who follow Hollywood heartthrob Zac Efron have been in mourning for the last six months, as Zac and co-stars Vanessa Anne Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale have repeated over and over that "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" will the last adventure for the current cast of the successful Disney franchise.
But the rumor mill has gone into overdrive as word has leaked from Life and Style Weekly that Zac may actually play a role in the next sequel "High School Musical 4".
According to the popular tabloid magazine, Zac Efron may return as Troy Bolton in the next sequel of the movie sensation that made him famous.
Efron has been telling interviewers for months that HSM 3 would be his last, but celebrity gossip spies report that if there is a place for his character, and the price is right, he may make another appearance in HSM 4.
"Zac is thinking of a salary in the $8 million to $10 million range, but it depends on how "High School Musical 3" opens and how interested Disney is in wanting him back." a source told the publication.
So is Efron sending up a trial balloon in hopes that Disney snaps up his offer?
There have been concerns that after the current class graduates there may be little interest in forthcoming "High School Musical" movies, as viewers may not connect with the new incoming class.
But if Efron were able to still be part of the process, say as a graduate assistant or being hired as a teacher or drama coach for a year before he heads of to college, a story could be developed with Zac as a mentor for the new students. It would be a more adult role for the actor who may find breaking out of the teen idol mold difficult.
You never really know how things roll in Hollywood, but if Disney is scared that "High School Musical" may fade into history, what better way to try and stave off the decline then by keeping a hit star and key player around to draw in the current fans.
Move over Simon, Randy and Paula. The smash hit talent show "American Idol" is adding a fourth judge to its already questionable panel.
Award winning songwriter Kara DioGuardi will grace the desk next to Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson when season eight of "American Idol" starts in January, the Fox network announced Monday.
"For the past seven seasons, Paula has had to endure the experience of being the only woman at the judges' table," said Mike Darnell, a Fox Executive. "With Kara by her side, Paula has some backup and now there is going to be a lot more `girl power' on the show," Darnell said.
Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood and Pink have all recorded DioGuardio's music. The songwriter has also penned hit songs for big-budget Hollywood movies including "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" starring Lindsay Lohan, "Scooby Doo 2" with Sarah Michelle Gellar and "A Cinderella Story" starring Hilary Duff. Kara has also written and produced music for the television shows "The Office", "Smallville" and "Hanna Montana."
Executive Producer Simon Fuller said in a released statement:
"We are turning the heat up on `American Idol' this year and are thrilled to welcome Kara DioGuardi to the judges' table. Kara is a smart, sassy lady, and one of America's most successful songwriters. We know she will bring a new level of energy and excitement to the show."
But behind the smoke and mirrors there may be other reasons for the shake-up at the judging table. It seems viewers are getting tired of the antics of Simon Cowell, citing his bad attitude and hurtful comments as a main reason some viewers chose not to watch the show last season. And Paula Abdul appears to have difficulty remembering even the simplest of things and slurs her speech much of the time, lending some to speculate she has a problem with drugs or alcohol.
In fact, last season during the finals, Paula commented on one performers song as if she had just watched it, when in fact the song was not performed until later in the show. Viewers hate Simon and put little faith in Paula's ability to be cognizant, and poor Randy can't lead the show on his own.
This synergy worked for a few seasons but may have grown stale. So a fourth panelist may be just what "American Idol" needs to gain new viewers and spice things up for next year. -
Susan Lucci, Toni Braxton and Lance Bass will all be part of the next season of ABC's smash hit show "Dancing With the Stars."
They will appear with thirteen celebrities scheduled to compete on the new season of the celebrity dance contest premiering Sept. 22, 2008.
The other contestants will be Cloris Leachman, Kim Kardashian, Ted McGinley, Brooke Burke, Football prodigy Warren Sapp and two Olympic gold medal winners: Misty May-Treanor, who won two gold medals for beach volleyball, and Maurice Greene, who won two gold medals for track and field during the 2000 Olympic games in Australia.
Also announced was uber chef Rocco DiSpirito, Cody Linley from "Hannah Montana" and funnyman Jeffrey Ross. The new cast was announced Monday morning on ABC News' "Good Morning America."
Kardashian, who is currently appearing with her dysfunctional family on the E! Television show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," was rushed to a New York City hospital Sunday night after slicing open her foot on a glass coffee table in her hotel room. However, Kardashian told reporters Monday morning she was fine and planned to dance.
Kim Kardashian, who is scheduled to be on the new season of the hit show "Dancing With The Stars", badly cut her foot in her hotel room Sunday night.
Reports are surfacing that Kardashian seriously cut her foot on a glass coffee table and was rushed to nearby New York Presbyterian Hospital.
No word on how many stitches she needed or the extent of the damage, but a source told reporters there was "so much blood, it looked like a murder scene."
Kardashian is in town to do press for the upcoming "Dancing With The Stars" and her new comedy film, "Disaster Movie."
"Dancing With The Stars" producers are scheduled to release the new seasons cast member roster today - no word yet if Kim's accident will affect her expected role on the show.
Kardashian will also be seen later this year in the comedy "Deep In The Valley", about two best friends, Carl and Lester, who are magically transported into an alternate universe straight out of a real-life adult movie. _
Apparently Ashton Kutcher is not the only prankster in Hollywood.
In fact, we hear that Zac Efron has been such a prankster on the set of his new movie "High School Musical 3 - Senior Year", that his fellow cast mates decided to gang up on Efron and settle the score once and for all.
It appears that Efron has been abusing his power with water balloons throughout the entire production of HSM 3, and fellow actors Vanessa Anne Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel and Corbin Bleu decided to get even - and they got it all on video!
Of course they had to realize the video would make it to YouTube and InfoStar, but we suspect that was all part of the plan.
The revengeful cast staged an elaborate covert attack with water cannons and buckets, and strung out over 100 rolls of toilet paper in Efron's on-set trailer.
The video below catches the entire stunt on tape. Enjoy.
After a nightmare truck accident and emergency surgery to repair his crushed wrist, Shia LaBeouf is back to work on the set of "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen", sporting a large bandage on his arm and left hand.
LaBeouf's injuries stem from his July 27 car accident while driving with passenger Isabel Lucas, when another driver, Simon Herbert, ran a red light causing Shia to flip his pickup truck at 3:00 in the morning. Shia was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he underwent hand surgery to repair his left hand and fingers.
"Transformers 2" director Michael Bay says Shia's injury will be written into the new script, making it a part of the story, and will find a way shoot around it. Production of the movie was slowed while LaBeouf was in the hospital, but sources say the action thriller is still on target for its June 26, 2009 release.
The movie stars Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky and Megan Fox as Mikaela Banes, and is directed by Michael Bay with a screenplay developed by Ehren Kruger and script by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.

Has teen heartthrob and pop-sensation Joe Jonas just broken the hearts of young teenage girls around the world?
The rumor mill has been in over-drive that the oldest Jonas brother is becoming romantically linked to country singer Taylor Swift - and that Joe has been showing up at her concerts!
Joe, the oldest one-third of the teen boy band "The Jonas Brothers", arrived in disguise to Taylor's concert on Sunday night at West Palm Beach Cruzan Amphitheatre, People Magazine has reported. Though he tried to hide behind a disguise by wearing a baseball cap and dark glasses, Jonas was recognized when he showed up backstage near the soundboard where he was seen hanging out with Taylor's father.
Last week, Taylor, 18, filmed a cameo appearance for the "Jonas Brothers" upcoming 3-D movie, but Swift continues to tell reporters they're just friends. But various tabloids and photographers are saying they have seen the two songsters together multiple times - sometimes just hanging out and not in a professional work setting.
Taylor Swift has completed filming her spot in the upcoming Miley Cyrus movie "Hannah Montana: The Movie" due in theaters next year, and has been signed to appear in the romantic drama "I Will Wait for You... If It Takes Forever", also due next year.
Joe Jonas was recently seen in the Disney television hit "Camp Rock", and is currently working with his brothers filming the TV series "J.O.N.A.S", where the Jonas brothers travel the country in their rickety tour bus performing shows, but what the fans don't know is that the Jonas Brothers are actually J.O.N.A.S. - Junior Operatives Networking as Spies - who, along with their secret agent dad, are under assignment from a super-secret government agency out to fight evil.
Joe Jonas has also signed on to the television move sequel "Camp Rock 2", due next year starring the Jonas Brothers and newcomer Demi Lovato as Mitchie Torres. _
Former Saturday Night Live funny man Chris Kattan and his new wife of eight weeks have filed for legal separation. The reason stated was irreconcilable differences, and, according to the petition there is a prenuptial agreement dated June 23, 2008.
No minor children are involved.
Kattan began dating Sunshine Tutt, 31, more then 3 years ago after meeting her at a birthday party. The couple married on June 28th of this year.
A representative for Kattan told reporters, "They've got issues they're trying to work out. It's not a divorce right now, but they are taking time apart."
Somehow we knew this one wouldn't last…
Kattan has no less then six movie projects underway for the 2008-2009 movie season.
First is "Tanner Hall" due later this year, about a vivid look into the private world of an all-girls boarding school. Also completed is the animated adventure comedy "Foodfight" starring Charlie Sheen, Hilary Duff, Eva Longoria Parker and Christopher Lloyd, where chaos reigns supreme for the products in this grocery store when the lights are turned off and the doors are locked.
In production for 2009 is "Hard Breakers", a comedy centered on two single girls working the dating scene in Los Angeles. Also due next year is "Hollywood & Wine" starring Pamela Anderson, Vivica A. Fox, David Spade and Jeremy London - the story about mistaken identity and Hollywood backstabbing. -
"Hamlet 2", is a little movie that's getting big laughs. The film centers around a failed actor and failing high school drama teacher who thinks of himself as a playwright. Needless to say, he is the only one who thinks this way.
Plot: Dana Marschz (Steve Coogan), plays the failed, untalented actor, who also works as a drama teacher for a high school in a Tuscon, Arizona. When he finds out his much-loved drama department is going to be shut down, Marschz tries to save the day by creating and writing his own play - a sequel to Hamlet, featuring exotic time machines & a cameo by Jesus.
Review: From the first scene of the film, showing clips from Marschz not-so-successful early show business career, which included a herpes cream commercial and a small role on "Xena: Warrior Princess", to the ending credits, you will find a lot to laugh at in "Hamlet 2".
Coogan's character, Dana Marschz, is able to be both funny, and emotionally moving at times, as the character is able to show genuine sadness.
Marschz's scheme to save his failing drama department is to write and stage his own version of "Hamlet". His play is so completely over the top and bizarre, especially when he appears as Jesus Christ and performs a musical number called "Rock Me Sexy Jesus", that the faculty tries to stop the production.
The supporting cast is also convincing, especially Elizabeth Shue who portrays a caricature of herself, and also notable is Catherine Keener as Marschz nasty wife. Keener's got a real talent for comedy. David Arquette plays the couple's dim-witted house guest and also adds to the cast, and Amy Poehler plays an ACLU lawyer, with some really funny lines as well.
If you don't have anything to do next week you should plan on seeing "Hamlet 2". It is a harmless comedy that anyone can watch.
