Susan Boyle's "Gift" keeps on giving atop chart
LOS ANGELES - Susan Boyle's "The Gift" racked up a fourth nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the U.S. pop album chart Wednesday, while jailed rapper T.I.'s streak of chart-topping new releases came to an abrupt end. Boyle sold 243,000 units of "The Gift" during the week ended December 12, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Its five-week tally stands at 1.43 million copies. Her reign was interrupted by Kanye West's new album, which slid to No. 14 in its third week.
Olivia Wilde transforms herself for "Tron: Legacy"
LOS ANGELES - To play the female lead of Quorra in "Tron: Legacy," actress Olivia Wilde underwent the biggest physical transformation of her life.

Sandra Bullock tops People's "most intriguing" list
NEW YORK - Sandra Bullock, whose year of Oscar highs and divorce lows were captured this year in tabloid headlines, was named woman of the year in People magazine's issue of the 25 most intriguing people of 2010. In its special issue that hits newsstands on Friday, People also singled out stars and non-stars alike with special titles. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were named "Glam Parents," and the Chilean miners were singled out for their dramatic rescue.

Warhol film portraits on view in New York
NEW YORK - Andy Warhol may be best known for brightly colored silk-screens and clever riffs on pop culture, but an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art focuses on his silent and often challenging films. The show, "Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures," which opens on December 19 on runs until March, consists of 14 "screen tests" -- short, silent, black and white portraits of the artist's friends -- as well as some of his longer works.
List reveals top places for spotting celebrities
LOS ANGELES - Fans looking to run into a few celebrities would be wise to hang out at Los Angeles International Airport and the Grove, an outdoor mall adjacent to L.A.'s famed Farmers Market.
