The 13-year-old daughter of the late Michael Jackson has just landed her very first feature film role in the upcoming fantasy flick, Lundon's Bridge and the Three Kings.

The film, adapted from the children's fantasy novel by Dennis H. Christen Lundon, is being produced by Larry & Shawn King, and centers on a dolphin who turns into a human, and a teenage boy who morphs into a dragonfly, and a jellyfish queen who changes into an evil fairy godmother.

The Jackson kids expressed their desire to enter the acting world during an interview with Good Morning America early this year, where grandma Katherine revealed:

    "Paris dresses up like a little waitress or something, and they shoot their little movies."


Paris is set to play the title role of Lundon O'Malley, and N Sync's Joey Fatone and Love Boat alum Ted Lange have also nabbed roles in the upcoming flick, which will donate 50% of all gross revenue profits directly to the U.S. school system.

Michael Jackson would be proud!

Foster the People busted onto the music scene earlier this year with the hit single "Pumped Up Kicks." Wonder if Ms. Sidibe's cameo will help this song soar to the top of the charts?

Ryan Murphy has found extreme success with the hit FOX show Glee, but the cast isn't feeling the love from the creator, according to Us Weekly.

A source from the show tells the mag:

    "Things are really bad on set. The cast talks about how much they love Ryan, but they have grown to hate him. He has bad mood swings and can be really mean."


The source adds that "Lea[Michele] is leading the charge" against Murphy. Michele's rep has denied there are problems between the actress and the show's creator.

An insider says that Lea and the 46-year-old Glee creator got into it after she said she didn't want to go on the cast's 2011 summer tour. "He asked her which of her friends she wanted him to fire," adds the insider.

Ouch! Doesn't sound too gleeful.

Kris Humphries Is "Moving Through Life" Without Kim Kardashian

After his 72-day marriage to Kim Kardashian ended with a divorce filing, Kris Humphries is ready to move and on with his life, minus the drama.

The NBA star appeared on Good Morning America Friday morning, with mom Debra, to speak out about his career and charity projects -- but the hosts seemed more interested in his divorce from the reality star than discussing his upcoming projects.

After being grilled by the GMA hosts on why his marriage with Kim K ended so quickly, Humphries expressed:

    "For me, it's just certain things happen in life and you've got to move forward. Through everything I'm just focused on family and preparing for basketball. Basketball has always been something I've taken really serious and I continue to do that and I'm just moving forward."


The former couple, who dated just 8 months before tying the knot in a lavish Santa Barbara ceremony, are now seeing their relationship play out on the current season of Kourtney & Kim Take New York -- Kris says he doesn't watch.

So does Kris blame his failed marriage on reality TV?

    "I have never really been someone to watch the show, on TV, or anything like that. I can't say for sure or not for sure [if the cameras hurt my marriage]. It's the only time I've been married. I've been in the NBA since I was 19 years old, but it's a different level. I'm focused on just what I can control. I don't really play into all the gossip and things that take place, but that's life."


For now, Kim K's ex-hubby is focusing on his charity, which helps fights childhood obesity, and playing professional basketball.

"Really right now I'm focused on basketball and other things will take care of themselves. It's a great day for the NBA and the fans," he said. "The only things I watch on TV of myself is playing basketball. I've never really been one to watch the show on TV. For me my focus is just basketball, my foundation, my family and moving through life."

Kris's mom added: "The important thing is that we stay close as a family - it's our faith in God that carries us through all of these times. We have so much to be thankful for right now. We're looking forward not backward."

Humphries recently filed for annulment after Kim filed for divorce on October 31.

Bradley Cooper definitely deserves his title of "Sexiest Man Alive."

The Hangover actor, sporting a short buzzed 'do and leather jacket, cruised through a parking garage in LA with a few friends.

Just recently, Cooper questioned whether Ryan Gosling deserved the "Sexiest" title over him.

While on the Graham Norton Show, Cooper told the host, "There was such a backlash to when they announced it and Ryan Gosling, who I love and I just did a movie with him -- he's the greatest ... And it's like him walking around and he literally looks like he's in a photoshoot, like he just came off the runway ..."

Looks like the 36-year-old actor is also gearing up for Hangover 3. He told Norton, "I know [director] Todd Phillips is working on the script."

John Mayer Is Still Waiting On The World To Change

Posted on Fri Dec 9th, 2011 8:50am PDT       By X17 Staff

111230mayer082511_01_X17%20copy.jpgJohn Mayer has completely changed his tune.

The "Waiting on the World to Change" singer, who deleted his Twitter account after receiving some flack for his "offensive" remarks, has ironically written a blog post that expresses his distaste for the overuse of sarcasm.

Mayer expressed:

    "If you want to be truly intimidating, if you want to make an impact, if you want to have a strong connection with others, just be sincere. Sarcasm is not an attitude, and it's not a personality trait. It's a style of rhetoric meant to be used occasionally to highlight a larger point. Saying you're a sarcastic person is like saying your favorite cuisine is salt. Sarcasm is easy because you never have to take a stance. And that’s just the problem; It's so noncommittal."


The musician -- who once called former flame Jessica Simpson "sexual napalm" went on to say:

"I don't know when the lines got crossed and it was deemed attractive to be ambiguous and critical. Girls don't like it when guys do it and guys don't like it when girls do it. I live in a city of cool people with the absolute worst PR representatives: themselves."

Mayer concluded with the message: "Be yourself, even if that means being unsure or uneasy. Let someone else put you at ease. Meet them in the middle. Be sincere."
