Blake, Chace & Leighton's "Gossip Girl" Workday

Arriving for another full workday, Blake Lively, Chace Crawford, and Leighton Meester were all spotted on the set of ?Gossip Girl? in New York City on Wednesday afternoon (August 31).

The CW stars spent time in their personal trailers before emerging one by one to get more season four filming underway.

The sightings come as Miss Lively is just returned from joining current beau Leonardo DiCaprio in the Land Down Under - where the cute couple enjoyed a wildlife adventure at the Featherdale Wildlife Park.

Marketing manager, Kellie Ames, divulged some details about their visit, as she told E! News, "The pair seemed really happy in each other's company and there was no diva-like behavior from either of them. I think Blake especially enjoyed meeting the dingoes, and the baby wombat was a big hit, too.

Ames added, "[Leo] asked about our endangered animals, and we made sure to feed the Tasmanian devil while they were there."

Miranda Lambert: I Knew Blake Shelton Was Married

Opening up about their whirlwind romance, Miranda Lambert says that - while she knew her now-hubby Blake Shelton was married when they met - that didn't stop her from pursuing him anyway.

During an interview set to air on "Dateline NBC" tonight (August 30), the "House That Built Me" songstress explained, "I had seen their wedding picture in Country Weekly. I knew better, like this is off limits ... Because my parents are private investigators, for God's sakes. I've seen this my whole life, affairs. And I'm like, 'If all people didn't know better, I know better than this.'"

While she says knew better, Miranda explained that she didn't always know what it was she and Blake shared between them upon their initial meeting. "It was like my first duet with some other country star. And I didn't know if it was just initial butterflies because of that or, I don't know what it was. It was just this draw to each other."

Following Blake's 2006 divorce from first wife Kaynette Williams, and nearly five-year courtship between the two of them, Lambert and Shelton finally said "I Do" in May of this year.

'Fear Factor' Crash -- Stunt Gone WRONG ... On Tape!

Filed under: Nurse!, Reality TV

0826_fear_factor_accident_video
TMZ has obtained video of the massive collision that took place on the set of "Fear Factor" recently -- sending one contestant to the hospital -- but it could have been a lot worse ... if the ambulance hadn't arrived in record time.

As we previously reported, one of the contestants on the show was strapped to a truck for some stunt -- but something got in the driver's eyes ... and he plowed into another car.

Thankfully the guy was going less than 20mph at the time -- and the ambulance arrived LESS THAN A MINUTE after the accident.

The contestant was taken to the hospital -- and was released hours later with no serious injuries.

Justin Bieber's Early Christmas Gift: A Holiday Album

'We are going to try and raise alot of money this year for charity!' teen pop star tweets about next project.
By Terri Schwartz

Beliebers have more to look forward to this holiday season than just chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Justin Bieber announced Thursday (August 25) on Twitter that he'll be releasing his first Christmas album later this year.

"So it's true...been in the studio doing something special for christmas. we are going to try and raise alot of money this year for charity!" the 17-year-old Canadian pop star tweeted.

This will be Bieber's second studio album, since his first release, My World, was technically an EP. Barring the release of Never Say Never -- The Remixes, which featured the new single "Never Say Never," this will be the first new music Bieber has released in more than a year. He didn't share whether he will be collaborating with any other artists on his holiday record or when fans can expect it to hit stores.

Bieber is no stranger to using his musical talents for charitable causes. In 2010, he took part in "We Are the World 25" alongside Miley Cryus, Kanye West and Lil Wayne. Bieber has supported charities like Give Back Hollywood, Jumpstart and Children's Miracle Network in the past, though he did not specify which charity he would be donating the proceeds of his Christmas album to in his tweet.

The "Baby" crooner isn't the only artist to announce a Christmas album recently. Zooey Deschanel shared the news over Twitter earlier this month that her band She & Him will be releasing their first holiday album -- and third album overall -- later this year. In addition, Bieber's fellow Canadian Michael Bublé has been releasing a series of promos for his holiday album, Christmas, on his official website over the past few weeks.

Which Christmas carol are you hoping Justin covers on his holiday album? Share your suggestions in the comments!

Lenny Dykstra Charged with Indecent Exposure Over Craigslist Encounters

More trouble for Lenny Dykstra -- this time the troubled baseball great has been charged with indecent exposure for allegedly whipping out his dong for women he met on Craigslist.

According to the L.A. City Attorney, Lenny allegedly went to Craigslist and posted ads for a personal assistant or housekeeping services ... but when the women arrived, Dykstra would "inform the women that the job also required them to give a massage and would expose himself to them."

Officials say Dykstra pulled the XXX bait and switch at least 6 times.

If convicted, Dykstra -- who's already in custody in L.A. on a MYRIAD of federal and state charges for allegedly doing all sorts of other bad stuff -- could face even more jail time.

An arraignment is scheduled for September 7.

Justin Bieber Fans Nearly Crush Chelsea Handler, In 'VMAs Revealed'

Learn how an army of Beliebers almost mauled the 2010 VMA host on 'VMAs Revealed,' airing Saturday at noon ET on MTV.
By James Montgomery


Justin Bieber at the 2010 Video Music Awards
Photo: WireImage

It seems that Justin Bieber can't so much as step outside without inciting a riot of considerable magnitude, so it was to be expected that his performance at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards — supposedly a secret song-and-dance routine set outside the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles — would probably attract some attention.

But VMA producers had no idea just how out-of-hand things would get — or how close VMA host Chelsea Handler would be to being mauled by Justin's army of Beliebers as a result. It was all thanks to one harmless tweet by JB himself, as we learn in "VMAs Revealed," a new behind-the-scenes special set to air this Saturday at noon ET on MTV.

It all started before the VMAs, during Bieber's rehearsals. Producers planned to have Handler exit the theater and take a spot at the front of the stage, holding a sign that read "Chelsea hearts Justin." Everything was going swimmingly until an army of Bieber fanatics got wind of things.

"Out on the Nokia Plaza, they were rehearsing Justin Bieber's performance," MTV News VP Ryan Kroft explains in "Revealed." "[And] if you sort of stopped and paid attention, out comes Chelsea Handler in curlers."

Of course, on the night of the big show — after Bieber had tweeted about "free tickets to [his] VMA performance" — things changed. The Nokia Plaza was positively packed with screaming Bieber fans, who didn't take kindly to Handler's intrusion — and they let her know by crowding up against a barricade, nearly crushing her and sending all plans out the window.

Producers never quite got a good shot of Handler and her sign — "I think you can see her sign bobbing around, you just can't see her head. She should've worn the curlers," Kroft said — but luckily, she escaped serious bodily harm. And the true Beliebers ended up being happy too: Not only did they get to see a once-in-a-lifetime performance from their idol, but Bieber would go on to win the VMA for Best New Artist later that night.

For more backstage stories from the 2010 VMAs — like Rihanna's wig mishap, Lady Gaga's unforgettable meat dress and 30 Seconds to Mars' unconventional white-carpet arrival — tune in to "VMAs Revealed" this Saturday at noon ET on MTV.

The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live on Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT. See the list of nominees, revisit last year's highlights and vote for your favorites in the general categories by visiting VMA.MTV.com.

Ex-Chili Peppers Guitarist -- Protected from 'Drunk' Stalker

Filed under: John Frusciante, Celebrity Justice

0824_john_frusciante_getty_EX
The screenwriter accused of relentlessly drunk-stalking former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante has just been ordered to stay the hell away from him ... for the next two years.

TMZ broke the story ... Frusciante filed a request for a restraining order earlier this month -- claiming 32-year-old screenwriter August Elizabeth Thomas (sorry, no IMBD profile) desperately wanted to write a screenplay about him ... and wrote him several "long, rambling" and "drunk" letters.

John claims August came to his wife's concerts to harass her about the screenplay ... and even showed up at the couple's house -- refusing to take no for an answer.

Frusciante was worried August "could snap at any moment," claiming, "I fear both for my safety and for my wife's safety."

A judge granted the order on Wednesday -- requiring August to stay at least 100 yards away from John and his wife until 2013.

Justin Bieber's VMA-Nominated 'U Smile': Frame By Frame

'We took a more mature approach in the video, focusing on him as an artist,' director Colin Tilley says of clip, which is up for Best Male Video.
By Jocelyn Vena

In the Colin Tilley-directed "U Smile" video, Justin Bieber meets some girls on the street and becomes smitten with one of them. He then takes her to hang out with him at a big concert hall, where he makes her swoon by playing the piano for her.

The sugary-sweet clip is up for Best Male Video at the 2011 Video Music Awards, and Tilley, who also worked with Bieber on "Never Let You Go," spoke to MTV News about the behind-the-scenes of making the video just days before the VMAs go live Sunday.

The video opens with Bieber meeting some fans outside a theater, and the Flip cam footage they used for audio ended up making the final cut. "During this scene, we were only outside for 15 minutes, but literally paparazzi were everywhere," Tilley recalled. "It was pretty difficult, but I'm happy with the finished product. This whole intro scene was actually done very fast, because we didn't have much time before the sun set, so we really just had to go full-throttle."

While paparazzi and nature proved to be obstacles, a third was making sure that Tilley cast the perfect leading lady. "The girl's gotta be really great ... she was really nice and she did a great job," he said. "Justin and her clicked really well."

The video is actually pretty simple, with the focus of it being on "our classic piano in this beautiful theater, lots of great lighting. This is pretty much focused on Justin's performance.

"This song, in general, when I first heard it, I kind of got the feel that it was a more mature feel for Justin," Tilley continued. "So we took a more mature approach in the video, focusing on him as an artist and as a kid growing up. ... For me, this was kind of the place he goes every night to practice, so he was willing to take this girl he saw on the street and take her into his world."

For Tilley, the standout shots are of Bieber hanging out in an alleyway, calling to mind the images in Michael Jackson videos. "This is probably my favorite setup in the video," he said. "In this alleyway, it had a whole Michael Jackson feel. It was pretty iconic for Justin at the time."

As it turns out, the video was shot right after the 2010 VMAs, when Bieber took home his first-ever Moonman. "The night before, he had won an award and he just came to set with a great attitude; he was super positive," Tilley said. "I hadn't worked with Justin for probably a year. He's so much fun to work with. He's got a really cool attitude on set."

The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following the Selena Gomez-hosted pre-show at 8. See the list of nominees, revisit last year's highlights and vote for Best New Artist by visiting VMA.MTV.com.

Jobs handed in his letter of resignation today, but will stay on as the Chairman of Apple's Board of Directors. Tim Cook will be the new CEO.

Jobs has been on medical leave most of 2011-- and hinted at his continuing health issues in the letter ... saying, "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come."

Justin Bieber Fans Nearly Crush Chelsea Handler, In 'VMAs Revealed'

It seems that Justin Bieber can't so much as step outside without inciting a riot of considerable magnitude, so it was to be expected that his performance at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards — supposedly a secret song-and-dance routine set outside the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles — would probably attract some attention.

But VMA producers had no idea just how out-of-hand things would get — or how close VMA host Chelsea Handler would be to being mauled by Justin's army of Beliebers as a result. It was all thanks to one harmless tweet by JB himself, as we learn in "VMAs Revealed," a new behind-the-scenes special set to air this Saturday at noon ET on MTV.

It all started before the VMAs, during Bieber's rehearsals. Producers planned to have Handler exit the theater and take a spot at the front of the stage, holding a sign that read "Chelsea hearts Justin." Everything was going swimmingly until an army of Bieber fanatics got wind of things.

"Out on the Nokia Plaza, they were rehearsing Justin Bieber's performance," MTV News VP Ryan Kroft explains in "Revealed." "[And] if you sort of stopped and paid attention, out comes Chelsea Handler in curlers."

Of course, on the night of the big show — after Bieber had tweeted about "free tickets to [his] VMA performance" — things changed. The Nokia Plaza was positively packed with screaming Bieber fans, who didn't take kindly to Handler's intrusion — and they let her know by crowding up against a barricade, nearly crushing her and sending all plans out the window.

Producers never quite got a good shot of Handler and her sign — "I think you can see her sign bobbing around, you just can't see her head. She should've worn the curlers," Kroft said — but luckily, she escaped serious bodily harm. And the true Beliebers ended up being happy too: Not only did they get to see a once-in-a-lifetime performance from their idol, but Bieber would go on to win the VMA for Best New Artist later that night.

For more backstage stories from the 2010 VMAs — like Rihanna's wig mishap, Lady Gaga's unforgettable meat dress and 30 Seconds to Mars' unconventional white-carpet arrival — tune in to "VMAs Revealed" this Saturday at noon ET on MTV.

The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live on Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT. See the list of nominees, revisit last year's highlights and vote for your favorites in the general categories by visiting VMA.MTV.com.

Justin Bieber had a very good year. Seriously, like a major one that rivals most corporate CEOs'. According to a People magazine ranking of the top-earning teen actors and musicians, Bieber, 17, raked in $53 million in 2010.

Most of that cash came from his smash movie, "Never Say Never," and his hit fragrance, "Someday." (By contrast, girlfriend Selena Gomez made $5.5 million.) Bieber reached that big-baller level thanks to the record-breaking returns from "Never," which is the most successful concert-themed film in U.S. history, with more than $73 million earned to date.

Nipping at his heels was veteran teen starlet Miley Cyrus, whose haul was $48 million, almost all of it earned from touring.

Other big earners on the list include "Twilight" top wolf Taylor Lautner, who earned $8.5 million for the final two installments of the movie series, as well as $7.5 million for his upcoming starring debut in the action thriller "Abduction."

Nick Jonas had a very good year as well, with totals around $12.5 million, while "Two and a Half Men" star Angus T. Jones banked $7.8 million, thanks to a $300,000 per episode payday.

Jaden and Willow Smith made the list, with Jaden earning $5 million last year, $3 million of it from his starring role in "The Karate Kid," while sister Willow's music career rang up $4 million.

Acting sisters Dakota and Elle Fanning also did pretty well, with Dakota, 17, getting $4 million for "Breaking Dawn" and Elle, 13, taking home $1.5 million for "Super 8."

Kim Kardashian Sex Tape Site's Wedding Weekend Surge

She recently banked about $18 million from deals associated with her wedding over the weekend, but that?s not all Kim Kardashian made money on.

While the ?Keeping Up With the Kardashians? beauty was tying the knot with basketball player Kris Humphries, over 2 million people visited the site that sells her Ray J-featuring sex tape, ?Kim Kardashian Superstar.?

Apparently, the site usually only sees about 300,000 visitors a month - but this number skyrocketed over the nuptials weekend, as TMZ reports over 2 million people checked in on the naughtiness.

The reality TV star initially fought to keep the sex video from going public, but eventually came to an agreement with Vivid Entertainment that included an undisclosed sum which includes money from the DVD sales.

Amy Winehouse
's family claims no illegal drugs were present in the singer's system at the time of death ... but there's a gaping hole, because they made no mention of prescription drugs.

A source close to the family would not comment on any prescription drugs, even though he and the rest of the family were categorical on illegal drugs.

The family says they have seen toxicology reports which discount illegal drugs. The family did acknowledge Amy had been drinking at the time of her death.
  
As for prescription drugs, there are a number that contain the opiates similar to heroin, including OxyContin and morphine.

Amy Winehouse Did Not Die of Drug Overdose!

After weeks of speculation and no official cause of death for the late British crooner Amy Winehouse, the toxicology report has finally been released with some shocking results ? she did NOT die of a drug overdose! ?No illegal substances? were found in her system, the report shows. There was alcohol present, but it has been undetermined whether or not it played a roll in the young singer?s death. Amy Winehouse joined the ill-fated ?27 Club? along with other musicians who passed before their time at the age of 27 along with Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and others, a month ago. It was widely speculated that drugs played a part in her death due to her widely publicized battle with substance abuse and erratic behavior, but it looks like that?s not the case. Even a drug dealer came forward claiming that he sold the singer drugs the night of her death, but she apparently didn?t get a chance to take them. Her family made the statement that no drugs were found during the test, as it has not yet been released to the public. They thanked the police for their efforts investigating her death, and are [...]

Lady Gaga's 'Yoü And I' Video: A Pop-Culture Cheat Sheet

Gaga will discuss her inspirations in a live Q&A tonight, following the video's TV premiere at 7:49 p.m. ET/PT on MTV and Logo.

After Lady Gaga toned things down for her "Edge of Glory" video, she returned to her usual decadent self for the "Yoü and I" clip, a candy-colored sci-fi love story, in which Gaga takes on many shapes (mermaid, sprite, man) and lovers (mad scientist, Jo Calderone) to end up with her version of a fairy-tale ending.

The video — which makes its TV premiere tonight at 7:49 p.m. ET/PT on MTV and Logo, followed by a live Q&A with Gaga on MTV.com — is a nonstop feast for the eyes that recalls many of pop culture's greatest tales. Part creepy and part romantic, the Laurieann Gibson-directed video is a fable about what happens when someone tries to create the perfect lover. Can one ever settle on what they are looking for in that special someone, be they fallen angel or mermaid? It's also about learning to accept the many sides of oneself.

Lady Gaga's musical director recalls how "Yoü and I" came to be.

Gaga wears many looks, plays many parts and has a few memorable dance sequences, but fans will also be watching the clip to see what pop-culture milestones are referenced in the video. So here it goes: the "Yoü And I" pop-culture cheat sheet.

See photos of all of Lady Gaga's "Yoü and I" pop-culture references.

Chinese Water Torture Cell: The act was made famous by Harry Houdini. During the stunt, the famed magician would be trapped inside a case filled with water and had to escape before it was too late. A similar stunt is played out in the 2006 Christopher Nolan-directed film "The Prestige," starring Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale as rival magicians. In the video, Gaga is seen submerged in a tank filled with water in her lover scientist's barnyard lab.

Drag Kings: Female performance artists who dress up like men, typically personified by male stereotypes. In this video, Gaga's Jo Calderone recalls Gwyneth Paltrow's James Dean in Kevyn Aucoin's 2001 book "Face Forward."

"Edward Scissorhands": The 1991 Tim Burton-directed film starring Johnny Depp about a man created by a mad scientist to be the child he never had. In the video, Gaga's lover tries to create a love to call his own.

"Footloose": Gaga and her ladies throw a dance break of epic proportions in a barn — a play right out of the 1984 Kevin Bacon-starring film about a teen who gets a small town dancing again.

Go behind the scenes of a top-secret Lady Gaga shoot.

Greasers: From Jo Calderone's slicked-back hair to his jeans to his white T-shirt, he is the spitting image of greaser culture made famous in '50s-set flicks like 1983's "The Outsiders" (based on S. E. Hinton's 1965 novel), 1978's "Grease" and 1990's "Cry-Baby" (another Johnny Depp flick, FYI).

"Nip/Tuck": The dark FX series created by "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy premiered in 2003 before ending in 2010. It revolves around people obsessed with plastic surgery, and the video's scientist seems obsessed with performing procedures on Gaga.

"North by Northwest": In the 1959 Alfred Hitchcock thriller, the film's leading man, Cary Grant, finds himself alone in the middle of nowhere standing at a crossroads. It is an image reminiscent of the opening of the video, when Gaga stands at a crossroads among the cornfields.

"Pygmalion": The 1912 play written by George Bernard Shaw based on a Greek myth. In Bernard's play, Henry Higgins works to transform the lower-class Eliza Doolittle into a more refined person. It was famously made into a film in 1964 starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison called "My Fair Lady." In the video, Gaga's scientist lover works to transform her into his dream creature.

"Signs": Crop circles, like the one Gaga plays her piano in, play a big part in the 2002 M. Night Shyamalan film, in which Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix, Abigail Breslin and Rory Culkin try to fend off aliens that have descended on Earth.

Steampunk: A sci-fi subculture that offers a romanticized view of technology by making it retro. It is widely regarded that late-19th-century authors Jules Verne and H.G. Wells are the forefathers, taking then-modern technology and setting it in the steam age, a vibe mirrored in the barnyard lab.

"Splash": Much like the scientist/mermaid tale in the video, the 1984 Ron Howard-directed flick is about a man, played by Tom Hanks, who falls in love with a mermaid, Daryl Hannah, who saved him from drowning as a kid.

"The Little Mermaid": In 1837, Hans Christian Andersen published the story of a young mermaid who dreamed of life as a human and would do anything it takes to lose her tail and gain feet. Although the story has been retold many times, the popular 1989 animated Disney flick stands as a childhood favorite. Gaga's mermaid also loses her tail and gains legs.

"True Blood": There are many creatures who live in the "True Blood" realm of fantasy, including fairies who live in a dimension known as Faery and enjoy nature and dancing — much like Gaga and her dancing troupe in the cornfield.

Charlie Sheen & Brooke Mueller -- NOT Getting Back Together

Filed under: Brooke Mueller, Charlie Sheen

0821_chaarlie_brooke_ex
Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller looked as cozy as two people can be this weekend in Mexico (see above) -- but Charlie tells TMZ ... they're still just "good friends trying to be great parents."

As TMZ first reported, the former couple went south of the border this weekend -- Charlie decided to take Brooke as a sort of "birthday/you're doing great in rehab" present.

But no matter how good they look together in the pics, Charlie tells us a romantic reconciliation is not in the cards. In warlock speak, Charlie says they are simply "working on mending the bridges, replanting scorched earth. The goal is harmony."
