Penelope continues to impress with her performance in Volver, as well as in person at multiple publicity events. Last night she was looking fabulous in her little black dress in NYC at yet another private screening. She's obviously not upset that she's not going to her ex-boyfriend Tom's wedding. She and Oprah should have a chat. Still, she won't be sitting home alone this weekend. She's evidently going to be busy doing publicity for Volver and the film is already selling out every show!
Nick apparently is just as excited as we are that Britney is back, and wants to tour with her. He said, "She has that quality about her that people want to root for. If she puts together a great record, and I'm confident she will, I think she'll be right back to where she was. A joint tour would be a Jive Records dream right there... I'd open for Britney." What do you think? Should Britney tour with Nick?
Keira is one lucky lady - she got to co-star with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom for all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but she's now revealing she's had enough. She's ready to move on and will not continue her part for the film's fourth version. She said, "I've been playing this girl since I was 17. I'm 21 now and I'm on to very different things." She would have never lasted in the Harry Potter series.
Sad news Keira won't be back, but the good news is Johnny will continue his role if there are more movies to come. And a source said, "As long as he came back, I don't think they'd be too worried about Keira." Like Keira's jacket? Just click here to learn more about it. More pics of Keira and her man so read more
Love her or hate her (you obviously know where we stand), no one gives Britney the credit she deserves. The pop star is finally getting recognition for her recent comeback moves. The Daily Mail has uncovered the full details behind Britney's pop princess empire. Brit made sure that every single bit of her fortune was protected. She even tricked us with a fake wedding since the prenup was not in place. Here's more:
The event, on September 18, 2004, in the modest back garden of a friend's house in the Los Angeles suburb of Studio City, was meant to be the "real thing" but, with Federline yet to sign the pre-nup, a proper wedding could not go ahead.
So, with the paparazzi on her case, Britney decided to stage the "fake" wedding - and drew up a watertight contract to ensure the ceremony was not legally binding.
The pair were then married for real in a secret ceremony on October 6 - after Federline had signed the agreement that banned him from making any future claim against any assets his wife had prior to their marriage.
A source linked to the prenuptial negotiations said last night: "Everyone thinks Britney is this hick from Louisiana but, in reality, she is an extraordinarily astute businesswoman who has built herself into a global brand.
Click here to check out more details of Britney's empire - it's totally fascinating. Not only is Brit a smart business woman, but she's a hardworking mom too. She's apparently hiding out with family this week. Hopefully we'll get to see more of Britney coming back!
The stars stepped out for a Helio launch party in LA last night, and they look pretty excited to celebrate the new gadget, Drift by Samsung. We didn't think Helio could get much cooler but apparently it does - did you know you can read PopSugar on your Helio? We all know how much young Hollywood loves their handhelds, so it makes sense they dropped everything to support the new toy. Kate Walsh has been making the rounds at the parties lately and was at the bash, and so was Nick Lachey's little brother Drew. And who is the mystery lady with James Franco? Does he have a new girlfriend? Oh we hope not.
Many more partied for Helio last night including Jenna Elfman, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jack Osbourne and others so just read more
Oprah says she wasn't invited to Tom and Katie's wedding. I guess Tom had as hard of a time getting over his couch jumping as we have. - People
Besides shafting Oprah, it looks like Katie may be shying away from being considered for an Oscar nomination leading to speculation that she's nixing her career to be Mrs. Tom Cruise full-time. We just wish Joey Potter would come back - Page Six
The mother of the boy who accused Michael Jackson of child abuse has pleaded no contest to welfare fraud and was ordered to repay the money she stole. Hopefully, she'll be too busy paying that back to concoct any more money-making schemes. - AP
Madame Tussauds' wax museum just threw out their plan to stage a wax rendering of the Brad Pitt/Angelina wedding that never happened. I guess we'll just have to wait for the real thing. - US Weekly

Summer has officially come to an end on the West Coast, but Matthew is having no problem getting his regular beach fix while down under. Looks like MM has finally cleaned up that scraggly beard. He certainly seems to have become the perpetual beach bum this year. He is currently filming Fool's Gold in Australia but during a break he is busy showing off his yoga moves.
Lots more pics of MM practicing his moves so read more
Rachel Zoe was photographed walking down Robertson, Starbucks in hand, looking ready for some serious shopping. She looked chic in her round sunglasses and Chanel bag, which she wore with of-the-moment thigh-high boots, a denim Current/Elliott biker jacket, and printed scarf.
