Kanye took a break from sitting courtside at various basketball games to head to the recording studio on Thursday. After spending time performing overseas, Kanye is finally gearing up to bring his Glow in the Dark tour back to North America. He'll be joined by Rihanna, N.E.R.D. and Lupe Fiasco to hit up Canada and the US, which sounds like a pretty awesome show. We're just happy that Kanye is back to performing at home after his tough year. Something tells us his fans in the states will give him many a warm welcome.

Last time Paris Hilton was on Letterman she left saying she would never go back. Dave spent the whole interview asking her about prison (she was there to promote one of her fragrances) and didn't give it up, even when she requested he stop. Most of you thought that the interview was funny and she should have expected it, but I was still a little surprised to see that she was so quick to return. Though, I'm sure she didn't have much choice since The Hottie and The Nottie can take all the promotion it can get. Paris stopped by to be interviewed earlier in the week and emerged with a smile, but the interview didn't air until Friday night. The whole thing is pretty cordial, if a little bit awkward since Dave clearly doesn't take her seriously at all. Can you blame him? Check it out below — do you think he was too nice to her this time?

Brooke Shields has been busy hitting up Fashion Week and promoting Lipstick Jungle, but she found the time to get fun, flirty, and a little sporty to do a photoshoot for Parade Magazine. In this week's issue, Brooke gets into the Super Bowl spirit but she's still looking as girly as ever. Brooke still feels young at heart, and in the article she talks about growing up after making her mark as one of Hollywood's most famous PYTs. Here are highlights:

• On aging: “I’ll tell you what’s really scary. I have to film a nude scene tomorrow. I don’t want to use a body double, but I’m definitely going to get a spray tan right after lunch!"
• On feeling young: “It’s so odd. In Hollywood, I was always the youngest person, and now I’m not. I’m just coming to terms with it. My husband [screenwriter Chris Henchy] laughs at me. Sometimes I’ll read a part and identify with the material, and I’ll say, ‘Oh, honey, I really like this.’ He’ll look at me like I’m crazy and ask, ‘What’s wrong with you? You’re not in your 20s. You seriously think you can walk in there and get this role? It’s going to a 24-year-old.’ “So much of my success in the past was based on my looks. It didn’t feel like it had anything to do with me. I wasn’t exactly doing The Seagull or Anne Frank. The ceiling was pretty low for me, and I went along with it. But being famous for having eyebrows seemed silly to me even then.”
• On life in general: “I’m really proud of my kids, I’m excited about my job, and my marriage is not suffering. It’s not easy, but it’s not falling apart. This is the first time in my life that everything is exactly the way I want it to be.”

Love that Brooke is still feeling like a 20-something, even though we think she has nothing to worry about as far as aging goes. Plus, with her brand new show, Brooke can make her mark on Hollywood all over again.

Renée Zellweger was still finding ways to stay warm filming her new movie Chilled in Miami in Winnipeg, Canada on Friday. I'm sure the movie star didn't have to spend too much time waiting around outside in the freezing weather, but those bare fingers of hers make me cold just looking at them. While this movie sounds like it should be a cute little romantic comedy about a Miami businesswoman who moves to Minnesota for work and ends up falling in love with the town and trying to save the factory she's been sent to restructure, I'm still more excited to see her in Leatherheads. While that one has a bit of a marketing split personality the Clooney/Zellweger/Krasinski love triangle should be great.
