Enrique Iglesias is pulling out of his joint tour with Britney Spears just hours after it was announced this morning, according to a report.

Although Enrique is currently on a solo tour of Europe, the plan was for him to join forces with Britney on her North American tour, not just as an opening act, but as a full partner.

But now Billboard says Iglesias has pulled out of the 26-city tour.

Tour promoter Live Nation has declined to comment.

Mila Kunis Backs Black Swan Co-Star Natalie Portman Amid Body Double Controversy

Posted on Tue Mar 29th, 2011 12:43pm PDT       By X17 Staff

milablackswan230.jpg Mila Kunis is weighing in on the controversy surrounding Natalie Portman's dancing in Black Swan, and the actress insists that her co-star gave it her all when it came to the film's complicated choreography.

Kunis told Entertainment Weekly, “Natalie danced her a** off. I think it’s unfortunate that this is coming out and taking attention away from [the praise] Natalie deserved and got."

Mila added, “She’ll tell you [that], no, she was not on pointe when she did a fouette [turn]. No one’s going to deny that. But she did do every ounce of every one of her dances ... [Her dancing double] wasn’t used for everything. It was more like a safety net. If Nat wasn’t able to do something, you’d have a safety net. The same thing that I had - I had a double as a safety net. We all did. No one ever denied it.”

Interestingly enough, it was Black Swan choreographer (and Portman's fiance) Benjamin Millepied who started the firestorm when he told The Los Angeles Times last week that "85 percent of that movie is Natalie [dancing]." After his interview was released, body double Sarah Lane fired back and told EW, "On the full body shots, I would say 5 percent are Natalie ... I mean, from a professional dancer's standpoint, she doesn't look like a professional ballet dancer at all and she can't dance in pointe shoes. And she can't move her body, she's very stiff."

After that, Fox Searchlight Pictures and director Darren Aronofsky released statements backing Millepied's claim, and while Portman herself hasn't commented on the matter, it seems as though no one else is on Lane's side...

Jennifer Aniston Stepping Behind The Camera To Direct New Film

Posted on Tue Mar 29th, 2011 12:18pm PDT       By X17 Staff

Jennifer Aniston is putting on her director's cap for a new project with Lifetime Television.

As part of the channel's Project Five series, a five-part anthology about breast cancer, Aniston will helm a short film along with Demi Moore, Alicia Keys and Monster director Patty Jenkins.

“Our hope with Project Five is to entertain, inform and inspire dialogue, research and prevention. Otherwise, our goals are small,” Aniston said in a statement. “We want these films to move people and empower those affected by breast cancer to stand tall through this challenge, which impacts all of our lives, no matter who we are.”

Although it's impossible not to draw comparisons with Angelina Jolie, who's releasing her directing debut, Untitled Bosnian Love Story, later this year -- this is not the first time Jen has directed. In 2006, she made her directing debut with a short film called Room 10 as part of Glamour magazine's "Reel Moments."

But despite her disappointing box office run, will Aniston be giving up her acting career to direct?

Read what she's had to say about it after the jump!

When it comes to making an impact with photos, Lindsay Lohan knows how to pack a punch!

The 24-year-old actress was recently photographed leaving Samantha Ronson's Venice beach home (adjacent to her own identical pad) holding a fluffy teddy bear with a big red heart, and a source tell us Lilo's motive was to make SamRo's new ladylove jealous.

The source also tells X17online the photographer who took the pictures is friendly with Lindsay, and the two set up the whole thing.

The source adds:

    "Lindsay always sets up photos to get out the message she wants. And it worked because she got Samantha's attention. Sam even tweeted about the photos. Ever since Lindsay saw the picture of Sam kissing that girl, she's been trying to make Sam jealous."


After seeing the photos, Ronson tweeted the following:

    i love when the internet makes me a super hero- i was home at the same time i was at dinner. pix of me leaving dinner last night win. PROOF


lilobearheartnew230.jpgIn the photo to the right, Lindsay can be seen putting her hand on Sam's doorknob to appear she's leaving the house. However, our source says Linds was never in Sam's house. When the pictures were given to X17, the false story was passed along to us, as well.

Find out who Samantha was caught kissing ... after the jump.

Ashley Greene has already moved on to Kings of Leon bassist Jared Followill but in the May issue of Glamour magazine, she was still gushing over ex Joe Jonas!

After labeling the middle Jonas a "superstud", Greene dished on her relationship with Joe. "A friendship developed first, and that’s the most important thing for me," Ashley said. "If you are going to be with someone all the time, they need to be your best friend."

The Twilight star, who just separated from Joe earlier this month, goes on to say, “You need to be able to talk about the difficult things. I don’t want us to talk about our ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends. The past is the past. As long as it’s not a mass-murderer past! You’re with the person who you’re with as they are now. … I’m a big believer in ‘Everything happens for a reason.’”

But Ashley isn't the only one dishing on her relationship after the fact. Just days before their split was revealed, Joe Jonas told Details, “I think what works about it is she really puts my feelings first. She understands my busy schedule."

Arbitrator Selected To Oversee Legal Dispute Between Charlie Sheen, Warner Bros. And Chuck Lorre

Posted on Tue Mar 29th, 2011 10:25am PDT       By X17 Staff

Charlie Sheen's well-publicized fight between Warner Bros. and Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre has landed a neutral arbitrator.

Honorable Richard Neal will oversee the drama, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The dispute resolution company, JAMS, have been in contact with attorneys for both sides. JAMS had been given a "strike list" of potential neutrals and Neal was eventually selected.

Sources tell THR, "Neal's straight-laced, by-the-book approach to jurisprudence will cause him to ignore the media circus surrounding Sheen and focus solely on interpreting his contract under the applicable law."

A hearing date on the issue has been set for April 19.

Aside from the arbitrator issue, Sheen has reportedly been banned from New York hotels. Find out why ... after the jump.
