When President Obama comes to Hollywood, the biggest stars always fall in line to get up close and personal!

Such was the case at The Beverly Hilton on Thursday morning, when some of Hollywood's hottest starts, including Jessica Alba, Zach Braff, Dianna Agron and Jeremy Renner, attended an early-morning breakfast meeting to dish about politics, and discuss his re-election campaign.

The special breakfast concluded the President's two-day fundraising trip to LA, and Obama discussed the “Young America Effort,” an initiative to build support and turnout among the younger voters who were key to his election four years ago.

Some of the special guests were so excited, they took to Twitter before the important event. Glee star Agron confessed: "Maybe the only man I truly get nervous around. Worth the early wake up call." while guest Sophia Bush exclaimed: "It was amazing to see @iansomerhalder @ZacharyQuinto @DiannaAgron and @BryanGreenberg with the POTUS today. Good peeps. #YoungAmericans."

Busy mom Alba also Tweetd: "Got up bright & early to hear @BarackObama speak w an awesome group," while Ian Somerhalder added: "Totally surreal morning. Met up with some friends, had coffee with President Obama now tweeting.The 21st century... Let's do this."

230AJolie031012_01_X17.jpgShe won critical acclaim for her directional debut of In The Land of Blood and Honey, so is Angelina Jolie ready to take on the film adaptation of the steamy romance novel, Fifty Shades of Grey?

The book trilogy has already hit $10 million in sales, so it's only a matter of time before it gets a big screen makeover, but reps for the Oscar winner have so far shot down reports that she's in talks with studio Focus Features to direct the upcoming flick.

Apparently Universal Pictures has been in search of the right filmmaker to pair with the controversial book by EL James, and the studio has already laid down $5 million for the movie rights in a bidding war early this year.

While Jolie has yet to be officially confirmed for the project, both Amanda Seyfried and Kristen Stewart have been named as possible actresses to play main character Anastasia Steele, the young woman who begins an explicit relationship with billionaire businessman, Christian Grey.

We can't wait to see this racy novel come to life on the big screen!

Paris Jackson Tells Oprah She Didn't Understand Why Dad Michael Made Her Wear Masks In Public

Posted on Fri Jun 8th, 2012 10:35am PDT       By X17 Staff

MJackson09DaughterEXCLUSIVE_05_X17sharper.jpg The whole world wondered why Michael Jackson made his children wear masks in public for years, and now his daughter Paris is speaking out about her bizarre childhood with her late father.

During a sit down on Oprah's Next Chapter, the 14-year-old revealed to the talk show host how she felt about her upbringing, and explained she now understands her dad's intentions for their intensely guarded privacy.

"I was really confused. I didn't get why I was wearing a mask. But I understand it now -- why my dad would want our faces to be covered. When we went out without him we wouldn't be recognized," she said during the interview.

The teen, along with brothers Prince and Blanket, maintains she and her siblings enjoyed a 'normal' childhood, complete with trips to Chuck E. Cheese's and arcades, something her pop star father was never given the chance to experience.

"He told us that when he was younger he didn't really have a childhood. He would always be stuck in the studio singing while the kids were out playing. He wanted us to have that," she said.

MJ's famous offspring, who now live with their grandmother Katherine Jackson at her Encino estate, have adjusted to life without their dad, but his passing "never gets any easier," according to his only daughter.

The full interview airs Sunday on OWN.

Can you imagine these two Brits getting into an actual fight?

During a sit-down interview with Canadian talk show host George Stroumboulopoulos on Thursday, Robert Pattinson revealed that he had a tense drunken encounter with Grammy winner Adele!

The Twilight hottie revealed:

    "I had this argument with Adele, which is probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever said. [I told her] you know, you can really just reach for it!' And she was like, 'You do realize I'm, like, the biggest selling female artist ever.' And for some reason, I decided to get into an argument with her about it."


When the host asked Pattinson for more info, asking "How did that happen? 2 o'clock in the morning somewhere?" the star replied: "Yeah," and that he all remembered the next morning was "waking up and really, really regretting every word I said."


Pattinson also revealed that after the release of his newest flick, Cosmopolis, he hopes he will be taken more seriously as an actor.

"I was in Cannes doing these interviews and I was really fighting to not look pretentious for years, and then someone gives you one inch of the possibility of being pretentious, and I was, like, grabbing it so hard, going around being the biggest douchebag. Now I've kind of reined it in again," RPatz joked.

Reunited and it feels so good!

After a brief split last month, it looks like Sofia Vergara and ex Nick Loeb are back on again, and the Colombian beauty was all smiles as she held her man's hand while heading to a friends and family tasting at the new Bagatelle restaurant in NYC, on Thursday night.

A source outside of the restaurant said the couple were “being super cute and laughing a lot,” and friends say the former pair of two years are trying to work things out.

After dinner, Sofia reportedly ordered the Bagatelle Mega Sundae but the kitchen was closed so the owners personally handcrafted the sundae for her, and her ex-beau spoon fed it to her -- how romantic!

The Modern Family star split with her entrepreneur boyfriend in early May, because he was reportedly pressuring the single mother-of-one into marriage, and a family.

Has Sofia had a change of heart?
