Start spreading the news ... Scarlett Johansson is heading to Broadway!

The sexy starlet will be starring in the hit musical Cat On A Hot Tin Roof in December.

Johansson released the following statement:

"I am so thrilled to return to Broadway and feel incredibly fortunate to be doing so with Rob Ashford and such gifted actors."

ScarJo will play Maggie the Cat which is her first Broadway role since winning a Tony for her work in A View from a Bridge. Elizabeth Taylor played Maggie in the classic 1958 film.

The play will begin previews December 18 and open January 17 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.

Paris Hilton wants the world to know that the audio clip captured in a NYC taxi cab was taken out of context. The audio was edited to appear that she hates gay people.

The blonde heiress was secretly recorded in a cab after hitting up New York Fashion week with friends.

Following the release of the audio, Paris issued the following statement to GLAAD:

"As anyone close to me knows, I always have been and always will be a huge supporter of the gay community. I am so sorry and so upset that I caused pain to my gay friends, fans and their families with the comments heard this morning.

I was having this private conversation with a friend of mine who is gay and our conversation was in no way towards the entire gay community. It is the last thing that I would ever want to do and I cannot put into words how much I wish I could take back every word."

In a separate statement, Paris adds:

"Gay people are the strongest and most inspiring people I know. It is so wrong when people bully or put down others for being gay. No one should have to go through that.

Again, I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart and I feel absolutely horrible. I hope that everyone can accept my apology and know that it is not who I am or how I feel in any way."

At the time of the recording, Paris' gay friend was showing her the iPhone app Grindr, which advertises itself as the "most popular all-male location-based social network out there," offering "quick, convenient, and discreet" connections.

Lindsay Lohan is ready to show the world that she's a great actress. Although she has been pretty convincing in the courtroom.

The 26-year-old starlet is looking glamorous and retro in the new Liz & Dick trailer in which Lilo portrays legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor.

The trailer makes sure to mention that Liz and Dick will be drinking, fighting and fornicating plenty.

We'll definitely be watching! The flick premieres on Lifetime this November.

Lindsay Lohan loves the kids!

Yesterday, the 26-year-old actress let her maternal instincts kick in when cameras caught her leaving her hotel in NYC holding pal Domingo Zapata's son. Both she and the little boy were all smiles and we must say they look so cute together!

Zapata's a rich artist who was the one who lent his Porsche to Lindsay while she 's in New York. Unfortunately, that didn't work out so well ...

Lohan was arrested after alledgedly hitting a pedestrian with her car after she drove into a parking garage early Wednesday morning. A source has since told X17 exclusively that she might be headed to rehab once again. She just can't catch a break, huh?!

Check out the surveillance video below.

Did Seraphina get hurt?

On Thursday, Jennifer Garner took her 3-year-old shoe shopping in Brentwood and judging from her band-aid it looked like Sera suffered a little boo boo!

Fortunately the minor nick didn't seem too serious. Nothing a little lollipop can't fix! The 40-year-old actress has been in mommy mode for a while now whereas hubby Ben Affleck has been hard at work. With the way things are going for the 40-year-old actor, there's no rush for Jennifer to get back to work!

What's the rush?

Yesterday, cameras caught Rob Kardashian hauling his backpack while bustling his way through Beverly Hills. Wonder where he was headed?

The 25-year-old reality star just came back from trip to Paris with mom Kris Jenner and they even met up with Francesca Eastwood during their stay. Sounds like an ideal mother/son vacation!

These two look so happy together!

After confirming that they were dating this week, we spotted Kat Von D and new man Deadmau5 holding hands in Santa Monica today.

The DJ tweeted, "Yeah in love... inb4 I find a f*** to give over the Internet implodes over it ;) at least I'm happy! Lol." The L.A Ink star gave her new beau a tattoo on Wednesday, adding a star under his eye to match her own body art, and she later tweeted a photo of the new ink and called him her "other half." Jesse James who?!

Jessica Alba was snapped heading to a meeting in Santa Monica on Thursday, and the 31-year-old starlet wasn't in the best mood, but she still looked gorgeous!

Jess is going to begin shooting on Sin City 2 very shortly (she's already done some prep work) but in addition to running her company and taking care of her darling daughters, she's also getting involved in politics.

The Obama campaign just launched its “For All” campaign, which encourages Americans to take pictures of themselves with their hands over their hearts and a note explaining why they support the president.

Alba wrote in a letter, “Growing up, my classmates and I started every day with a ritual: We’d stand up, put our right hand over our hearts, and say the Pledge of Allegiance,” explains Alba. “To me, that gesture was a promise. A promise to be involved and engaged in this country’s future. A promise to work for liberty and justice — and for affordable education, health care, and equality — for all.”

She added, “Make sure you’re ready to vote this fall. Putting your hand over your heart is making a promise. Casting your ballot is keeping it.”
