She's just landed her first major movie role, and now Paris Jackson is ready to start the interview circuit!

The 13-year-old daughter of the late Michael Jackson made her first solo appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to chat about becoming an actor, having a normal childhood, and the last piece of advice her dad ever gave her.

Paris on how the King of Pop inspired her to become an actor:

    "I love acting. When I was really little my Dad was in the movie Moonwalker and I knew he could sing really well but I didn’t know he could act. I saw that and I said, wow, I want to be just like him. We would do improv together. He would give us little scenarios. He would ok, in this scene you’re going to cry and I’d cry on the spot."


The budding actress also opened up on those masks Michael used to make her, and her siblings, wear when they'd venture out in public:

    "Yeah, I’m like this is stupid why am I wearing a mask? But I kind of realized the older I got like he only tried to protect us and he’d explain that to us too."


Miss Jackson also confessed on going to a regular school, after having private tutors her entire life:

    "I love it. It’s definitely a different experience. I do have like a regular childhood. I mean, I‘m treated the same. When I came to Buckley (her school) they didn’t know who I was. I was like, yes, I have a chance to be normal."


Paris then revealed of the most important thing her dad ever told her:

    "He said, if I die tomorrow always remember what I told you. I took his advice and I remembered everything he told me."


Ellen then surprised Jackson with her very own director’s chair and director’s slate!

Check out the full interview on Ellen, airing Thursday, Dec. 15.

Lindsay Lohan Misses Her Flight, But Will She Appear In Court Tomorrow Morning?

Posted on Tue Dec 13th, 2011 2:59pm PDT       By X17 Staff

lohan-latest-oops.jpgLindsay Lohan was scheduled to return from Hawaii today, and not only did the 26-year-old starlet miss her flight back to Los Angeles, but she also missed her scheduled taping of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Oops!

While it doesn't seem like that big of deal, one must also consider that the actress also has a probation hearing at 10am tomorrow. So will she make it?! Lilo and her many fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as her rep stated that she will make it to her meeting at the Airport Courthouse. "Lindsay had a travel-related issue arise that took a few hours to sort out," rep Steve Honig tells E! News. "It has been resolved and she will be back in Los Angeles in time for her court appearance."

A source also tells E! that Lindsay is "booked on an afternoon flight and hopes to be back tonight," and even though her purse and passport were stolen, it doesn't look like there will be any more snags with her return trip. Of course, the folks at Ellen are probably annoyed with Lilo for flaking on the exclusive interview today, which was part of her promotional obligations for her recent Playboy spread, but hey, everyone makes mistakes, right?

Oscar-winning actress Renee Zellweger is ready to part with her Connecticut estate for $1.5 million. The massive farmhouse was originally built in 1770.

The Bridget Jones's Diary star bought the 3,400 square-foot home in Pomfret, Connecticut back in November 2004. The property boasts 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, renovated interiors, a separate guest house and extensive gardens. The property also includes a stunning swimming pool and helicopter landing area.

As for why she's selling, Coldwell Banker issued the following statement:

    “Renee has enjoyed the property for a number of years, however her current work schedule and travel commitments do not allow her to visit the property as frequently as she would like."

Kim Kardashian and momager Kris Jenner have been in Haiti to bring awareness to the charity "We Advance" ... an organization that brings much-needed aid to earthquake victims. Actress Maria Bello co-founded the charity.

A source close to Kim, 31, tells People:

    "Her intention was always to take the end of the year to focus on some of the other things that are important to her and this trip was one."


The "We Advance" charity hopes to "advance the health, safety and well being of women throughout Haiti," according to the website. To raise money, shirts (seen above) that read "Spread The Joy" are also for sale to benefit the cause.

"We Advance" was created back in January 2010 following a devastating earthquake in Haiti.

jennifer-garner-instyle-jan.jpgJennifer Garner graces the cover of InStyle’s January issue, and the actress chats about her seemingly perfect marriage, putting on the pregnancy pounds and her upcoming role in Butter (which she also produced).

Jen gushes about her hubby Ben Affleck, telling the mag, “I don’t know how or why it works as well as it does. Honestly, I would do anything for that man, because I know it’s not taken for granted."

Baby number three is on the way for the happy couple, and while Jen is thrilled to add to their family, she admits that she doesn't always feel so glamourous when she's sporting a baby bump. “I wish I was one of those cute pregnant girls who wear skinny jeans throughout their pregnancies,” she says. “But I just gain weight. I’m trying really hard to be mindful, but when I’m making the kids mac and cheese, I want it badly.”

On how she relates to her character in the upcoming flick Butter, Jen says, “I identified with her loss of identity. You identify with your career then become a mom and put everything you have into the happiness of those kids. And though I wouldn’t change it for anything, you lose part of yourself.”
