Although little Mason Kardashian has frequently been seen on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the one-year-old baby will not be seen in the new series Kourtney & Kim Take New York.

Mason's dad Scott Disick wanted $5000 per episode for Mason to appear on the series, according to Us, however E! wanted to pay only $1000. End result ... Mason's acting career is kaput.

Mama Kourtney tells a different story. She reveals to People:

"Scott and I decided not to have him on the show this season. I think we made a good decision to leave him off the show because it was really crazy and really hectic any time we left the hotel ... we tried to keep him as protected as possible."

So much drama over a little baby! Something tells us Mason isn't really hurting for money.

Isn't she always?

The sexy R&B starlet was snapped leaving the Beverly Hills Hotel last night, and we're not sure if it was a hot date or an uber important dinner meeting, but she was definitely dressed to impress! We still wish she'd go back to black or brown hair, but the burgundy tones underneath her red 'do are kinda growing on us...

Britney Spears already has a #1 single with Hold It Against Me, but according to her choreographer Brian Friedman, the pop icon is having a few issues with the strenuous dance moves during rehearsals for the song's upcoming video.

Friedman tells MTV's The Seven:

"This is a dance video. Rehearsals can get pretty rough. We're playing it safe, we're not trying to kill ourselves yet, but as the video comes closer and closer, we'll definitely be hurting our backs.

There was a moment while we were rehearsing where I showed Britney a section and it was something I really wanted her to do, and she freaked out. ... It's crazy when you first see something like that, how overwhelming it can be, especially when you haven't been in the [dance] studio for a year."

Despite the rough start, Friedman says Brit's now "killing it." He adds:

"I think you can expect the unexpected from Britney. She is taking risks when it comes to fashion, when it comes to choreography, when it comes to this music — she's grown up so much, and she's pushing 30 years old soon, so she's a strong independent woman and I think she wants to show that."

Brit and Brian began working together back in 2002 on the Overprotected (Remix) music video. Aside from choreographing moves for her Hold It Against Me video, maybe he's secretly helping Ms. Spears with a Grammy performance, too. We'll keep our fingers crossed!

Ryan Reynolds gets sexier and sexier by the minute!

Here's Sandra Bullock's reported beau hanging out in the lobby of Hollywood's Chateau Marmont before taking off on his Ducati motorcycle.

The 34-year-old Green Lantern star knows how to make an exit ... that's for sure! Hard to believe Scarlett Johansson let this one go.

As for Sandra Bullock, she's arriving today from New York to attend this weekend's Golden Globes. Problem is, ScarJo will be there, as well.

Will Ryan end up going? He has to return to Atlanta where he's filming The Change-Up co-starring Jason Bateman, but maybe he'll lend his support to Ms. Bullock ... showing up on her arm. Awkward threesome alert!

While set to perform in Germany, Usher has come down with a bug ... or has he? The R&B singer canceled his Berlin show on Wednesday last minute ... after keeping the audience waiting for more than forty minutes. According to his management, he wasn't "feeling well."

The singer released the following statement:

"I am truly sorry to all my fans in Berlin who were inconvenienced by tonight's postponement of the show. I was ill and felt that I would not have been able to give them the show that they properly deserve. I am looking forward to performing tomorrow and giving Berliners a great show."

Usher was reportedly seen out at local bars after the cancellation.

During last night's show, Usher hit the stage but gave his Berlin fans a less-than-stellar performance ... only singing five songs. Audience members also say Usher's voice was "not up to par." He eventually realized this, and apologized to the crowd. As a result, the booing began.



Usher's trucks are headed for Lyon, France right now. Let's see if he's feeling well enough to hit the stage. For his fans' sake, we hope so!

Even though Beso Vegas has filed for Chapter 11, both Beso Hollywood and the Sin City location are still open for business. Eva Longoria enjoyed a night out at her Latin hotspot in Hollywood, and judging by that smile on her face, she loved her meal!

The 35-year-old actress is reportedly working on knocking down the nearly $6 million in debt that's accumulated since the restaurant's grand opening.

As for the Chapter 11/reorganization filing, Longoria said the following:

"It’s a New Year and we're making a new start. This is a great opportunity to begin anew, and I look forward to an exciting and enterprising 2011. I look forward to a more proactive hands-on approach in the coming years with my Las Vegas business."

Attorney Robert Shapiro is handling Beso's financial situation. Ironically, despite the Vegas location's issues, a source tells us that over the weekend, Beso Hollywood had its best weekend in over two years.

Aside from the Beso Vegas situation, Longoria is going through her divorce from basketball star Tony Parker. On her right wrist, the Desperate Housewives' actress still sports the tattoo marking the date of their wedding in roman numerals ... July 7, 2007 (7/7/07).



On previous outings, she's attempted to cover up the ink, but last night, it was clear as day.

Okay, call me crazy but Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green got married not too long ago; she's not working on Transformers 3 so maybe the pair are starting a family!

Megan wore tight leggings yesterday at SunPower Natural organic cafe in Studio City but she paired them with a loose-fitting t-shirt and puffy jacket. And it seeeeeems like there could be the beginnings of a baby bump under there. Could it be?!

Britney may have started her day yesterday all primped and polished, but when she returned to the Basement dance studio later in the day, she was all business!

Spears had her hair pulled back (unfortunately), her sweats on, and was ready to get to work!

Now, all this rehearsal can mean only one thing ... a performance is coming up, right? Would she sing Hold It Against Me at the Golden Globes this weekend? Of course not ... Would she perform her new hit single at the Grammys in a few weeks? Seems a bit more than likely, huh?

We KNOW Brit will kill it with this much rehearsal under her belt before the big night. She's not taking any chances after the MTV Video Music Awards fiasco in '07. Britney will PROVE she's back with this gig ... we hope! And yeah, yeah, we know she never went away, but really. Aren't we all ready for a real comeback?
