Katie Henry — Thu, 10 May 2012 11:15:01 PDT

Jennifer Lopez got a lift to the American Idol sound stage in West Hollywood yesterday in a white Bentley driven by boyfriend Casper Smart. In addition to her Idol judging duties, Jennifer has What to Expect When You're Expecting out May 18. We chatted with Jennifer at the film's LA junket, where she opened up about her own pregnancy and talked about her upcoming music tour - stay tuned for more from our exclusive chat! Jen's hitting the road this Summer with Enrique Iglesias as well as Casper. She's been perfecting her choreography with Casper's help, and fans will see the fruits of their labor when the tour kicks off in Panama on June 14.

There are only two weeks left until American Idol's season 11 winner is crowned, and the four remaining hopefuls took the stage last night. J Lo, Randy Jackson, and Steven Tyler joined Ryan Seacrest, who had a special guest, girlfriend Julianne Hough, in the audience. Julianne and her Rock of Ages director Adam Shankman went onstage with Ryan mid-show to talk about their upcoming movie. Ryan, though, decided to have a little fun with Julianne. Ryan pretended to propose by reaching into his pocket! Instead of pulling out a ring, Ryan produced a piece of paper. He said, "It's a question I've been meaning to ask you and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. Will you. . . give this note I wrote to Tom Cruise? I'm such a big fan."

PopSugar — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 11:00:00 PDT

Zac Efron celebrated landing the cover of September's Details magazine with his girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens, by his side in LA last night - get a behind-the-scenes look at his hot desert shoot. His 17 Again costar Leslie Mann was there to toast Zac along with friends like Glee's Matthew Morrison and Michelle Trachtenberg. Zac prepped for the event by running errands and taking care of business around town, while Vanessa got in a workout with Dakota Fanning. It seems as though Zac didn't have time to tend to his facial hair, though, as he was still sporting the scruff he introduced at Sunday's Teen Choice Awards.

PopSugar — Wed, 12 May 2010 12:00:00 PDT

New video just leaked of Miley Cyrus letting loose and showing off some risqué moves last Summer during the wrap party for her film The Last Song.

It's not the first instance of Miley raising eyebrows for doing something potentially age inappropriate, and she's now actively trying to change her young image to something more grown-up. So, tell us what you think about Miley's lap dance - is it shocking or not?

Sandra, Kathryn, and More Celebrate Oscar at the Governors Ball

PopSugar — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 09:58:12 PST

The Governors Ball was the first stop for many of the winners and presenters after last night's Oscars ceremony. Best actress Sandra Bullock went from chatting about her award in the press room to the afterparty, where she shared a special moment with her supportive husband, Jesse James. Maggie Gyllenhaal didn't claim a statue for Crazy Heart, but she continued the family evening by joining her mother Naomi Foner for a bite. Barbara Streisand cuddled up to Gerard Butler, while Diane Kruger brought her Chanel gown from the red carpet to the ball.

Oprah Winfrey joined Gabourey Sidibe after her touching introduction during the best supporting actress presentation. Zoe Saldana stayed in her voluminous dress, which led the way for the evening's slitty trend. Neil Patrick Harris, meanwhile, relaxed with David Burtka after his amazing opening number. Sigourney Weaver was happy to let her hair down with Anna Kendrick despite Avatar's not winning best picture, but Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal were thrilled their film The Hurt Locker took home the accolade.

Adam Shankman to Direct Rock of Ages Movie Musical

BuzzSugar — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:30:28 PDT

Sometimes I forget that So You Think You Can Dance's Adam Shankman is also heavily involved in the movie biz - he directed 2007's remake Hairspray and recently produced 17 Again. Now the booty shakin' judge just scored a deal to direct and choreograph another movie musical, the Broadway hit Rock of Ages.

The stage show debuted in 2006 and revolves around the hits of '80s glam/hair/metal rock bands. It boosted the career of former American Idol contestant Constantine Maroulis, but he may not be reprising his role: Shankman remarked, "I'm thinking big, and absolutely am going to attempt to cast with movie stars. Now that musicals are working again, actors are much more open to it."

I've never seen the show, but I just read the listing of songs (think Journey and Bon Jovi) and now I'm dying to see it on stage and on the big screen. If you've seen it, what big names could you see starring?

Hairspray Director to Develop Bye Bye Birdie Remake

BuzzSugar — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 11:38:33 PST

Now that his projects Hairspray and Bedtime Stories have proven successful, director Adam Shankman is moving on to the next big thing: A remake of Bye Bye Birdie. So far Shankman is signed on to develop and produce the "long-gestating remake." Here's more:

A stage favorite for the past half-century, Birdie centers on Conrad Birdie, a popular singer whose character is based loosely on Elvis Presley. He's about to be shipped off to the army, but as part of a publicity stunt, he agrees to one last encounter with a fan before he goes to war.

The 1958 musical has had several screen adaptations, including an Ann-Margret and Dick Van Dyke version in 1963 and a television movie starring Jason Alexander in 1995.

Columbia has been developing an updated version for a number of years, with the logline at one point re-imagining the title character as a hip-hop star.

Hmm. . . a hip-hop star? I find it interesting that this has been so long in the making and it makes me wonder why. Is there something about Bye Bye Birdie that makes this difficult? And who will they get to play the lead characters?

First Look: Adam Sandler in Bedtime Stories

BuzzSugar — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 14:30:00 PDT

When Adam Sandler uses his talents for cuteness (as opposed to, say, Zohan) it can be so good. I've enjoyed watching him work with kids in the past - I can never resist Big Daddy when it's on TV, and I think he shines in the scenes with his tween daughter in Spanglish. Now I'm happy to see him at the center of a new Disney movie that looks completely adorable.

Directed by Hairspray's Adam Shankman, Bedtime Stories is about a handyman who tells his niece and nephew imaginative stories that start to come true. Whatever the kids come up with each evening he has to survive in real life, including a gumball rainstorm and being set on fire. In the recent TV spot for the movie, it looks like a funny, good-natured kids movie and I found myself laughing more than I thought I would. The kids are super cute, and Sandler is a good sport.

Though I may not be in the key demographic for this one, it really does look like a fun movie! Check out the TV spot here and tell me what you think.
