Will Ferrell is Hollywood's most overpaid star: Forbes
LOS ANGELES - Funnyman Will Ferrell and British actor Ewan McGregor on Wednesday headed a Forbes.com list of Hollywood's most overpaid stars when looking at the financial returns of their movies. Billy Bob Thornton, Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey also made the top 10 tally of actors who cost more to hire than they appear to be worth at box offices.
Penelope Cruz offers a "dream year" in movies
LOS ANGELES - Penelope Cruz feels uncomfortable talking about nude scenes and says she has "an allergy to labels," but she becomes effusive when discussing her "dream year" with two special films about to hit theaters. The first is Spanish director Pedro Almodovar's "Broken Embraces," her fourth collaboration with the filmmaker who helped make her a star, and the second is musical "Nine" from director Rob Marshall, which challenged her voice and her previously little-known dancing skills.
Johnny Depp earns second "sexiest man" title
NEW YORK - Johnny Depp was named People magazine's "sexiest man alive" for a second time on Wednesday, joining an elite club of double honorees that includes George Clooney and Brad Pitt. People magazine described the swashbuckling "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie star as "the king of cool with the killer cheekbones". Depp, who also took the title in 2003, succeeded 2008 winner Hugh Jackman.
Aerosmith members concerned singer back on drugs
LOS ANGELES - Steven, we love you. But you need to get sober, and we need to find a new singer. That appears to be the consensus among Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler's bandmates, who are dropping loud hints that he is back on drugs.
Oscars pick director, unveil documentary shortlist
LOS ANGELES - Oscar organizers joined the MTV generation on Wednesday, naming Hamish Hamilton as director of March's movie awards ceremony, and they also unveiled their shortlist of films vying for a best documentary nomination. British-born Hamilton, 43, is a first-time Oscar director, but he is a veteran of numerous live-event programs including this year's MTV Video Music Awards, and the MTV Europe Music Awards and Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2008.
"New Moon" poised for No. 1 box office bow
LOS ANGELES - Fans have been mooning over all things "Twilight" since the vampire-romance film bowed so bloody well exactly a year ago. So it's no surprise that the sequel, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," is projected to sink its teeth into more than $85 million during its first weekend. "New Moon" rises in 4,024 locations, beginning with 3,500 performances at 12:01 a.m. Friday.
Bon Jovi comes full "Circle" at No. 1 on U.S. chart
LOS ANGELES - Bon Jovi claimed its fourth No. 1 album on the U.S. pop chart Wednesday, despite a sharp drop in sales. "The Circle" sold 163,000 copies during the week ended November 16, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It marks the veteran band's second chart-topper in a row following "Lost Highway," which kicked off with 292,000 copies in 2007. Bon Jovi previously reached the top with "Slippery When Wet" in 1986 and "New Jersey" in 1988.
"Holy Grail" of Michael Jackson memorabilia up for sale
NEW YORK - The "Holy Grail" of Michael Jackson memorabilia will go on the block on Saturday in an auction of one of the King of Pop's famous white gloves and hundreds of rock-and-roll relics. The sale at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York includes a car driven by Jackson, David Bowie's guitar and a slew of memorabilia from the Beatles to Bo Diddley, according to Julien's Auctions, the company running the auction.
Composer Lloyd Webber in hospital after cancer op
LONDON - British composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has been re-admitted to hospital after developing a chronic infection following surgery for prostate cancer. A statement on his website said that despite the complication, which needed immediate treatment, the 61-year-old's cancer operation was "entirely successful."
A Minute With: Metro Station on tour with Miley Cyrus
LOS ANGELES - It might not always be easy being associated with one of world's best-known teenagers, Miley Cyrus, but it can have its perks such as a quick path to fame -- as U.S. band Metro Station has found out. The co-founders of the band are Cyrus' half-brother Trace Cyrus, 20, and Mason Musso, 20, the brother of Mitchel Musso, who stars with the 16-year-old pop idol in the hit Disney TV series "Hannah Montana" about a secret schoolgirl rock star.
