Renée Zellweger and Forest Whitaker got to work on the set of My Own Love Song in Louisiana yesterday. Looks like Renée's putting on a bit of a transformation for the film between her tattoos, brown hair and wheelchair, but she looked like she was having fun being carried through the water in Forest's arms. The film won't be out until next year, but we're already looking forward to a couple of more stellar performances from the Oscar-winning actors.

It's a wonderful world for Forest Whitaker.
According to Variety, Whitaker will
direct and star in a Louis Armstrong biopic titled What a Wonderful World. The story will have the help of a Paris-based production company, Legende, the company behind another musician biopic,
La Vie en Rose.

After the
glamorous and sunny red carpet, Justin Timberlake took the stage to host the ESPY Awards in LA last night. While JT cracked up the crowd imitating Tony Romo's girl Jessica Simpson with a life sized cut out in between big musical numbers, some of our favorite athletes hit the podium to accept their prestigious awards. JT even took a shot at himself
saying about his infamous Superbowl show, "I wanted to be the only guy at a football game to get to second base."

It's aways fun when two worlds collide, like last night when athletes and celebrities came together for the
ESPY Awards. Pretty boy Zac Efron showed off his tan from his recent
steamy vacation with Vanessa while adorable Dave Annable smirked and Samuel L. Jackson smiled wide.

London's Hyde Park turned into a party scene this afternoon as Nelson Mandela kept on celebrating his ninetieth birthday with a star-studded concert. Will and Jada were up and at 'em after last night's
Elton John party to get on stage, while Geri Halliwell and Prince William's girlfriend, Kate Middleton, surveyed the scene. Amy Winehouse, who was looking unusually tan, managed to take the stage despite her
recent health problems.

London is teaming with megastars at the moment, as several celebrities are here to help mark Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday. Leona Lewis (
do you love or hate her green eyeshadow?), Will Smith, the Sugababes and Annie Lennox were amongst those who gathered at the Intercontinental Hotel yesterday for a photo shoot, which created the most amazing
school photo style picture I've ever seen! Even more stars attended the
lavish banquet on Wednesday night, and we can
expect yet more big names at the 46664 concert in Hyde Park tonight.

It was a 90th birthday party to remember for Nelson Mandela, who went big for his star-studded celebration in London's Hyde Park yesterday. Will Smith managed to tear himself away from his non-stop
promotional tour of Hancock to catch up with his buddies Robert de Niro, Forest Whitaker and Denzel Washington, and of course to spend some time with Jada. There was no sign of Amy Winehouse, but Naomi Campbell was happy to provide the drama, showing up even though Nelson personally requested she be
removed from the guest list after her
recent legal issues.

Stars from both sides of the Atlantic joined Nelson Mandela in Hyde Park yesterday to celebrate his 90th birthday. Gordon Ramsay
prepared the banquet for the 500 guests, which included those due to
perform at tomorrow's concert, with Leona Lewis, Annie Lennox and the Sugababes all stunning in bright colours. Although Amy Winehouse wasn't there her spokesman has
said "it seems likely" she will perform on the night.

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and
Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the titles below you can now rent the Diane Lane thriller
Untraceable, Francis Ford Coppola's
Youth Without Youth, and
Mad Money.

Maybe it's that time of the year, or perhaps there was a strong nationwide desire to see a scary movie, but whatever the reason, horror flick
Prom Night was crowned queen at the box office this weekend. Variety reports that the movie's $22.7 million
marks the best opening for a horror picture so far this year, possibly due to the teen-friendly PG-13 rating.
Though
Street Kings is loaded with bloodshed and big names like Forest Whitaker and Keanu Reeves, it was still no match for the teen screamfest, earning second place with an estimated $12 million.
