The 25-year-old starlet is one busy girl!

Keira Knightley is reportedly set to star in a West End production of The Children's Hour, Lillian Hellman's classic 1934 play about two female boarding school teachers rumored to be lesbians. And if the London run is successful, the show could come to Broadway next winter.

The 1961 film version starred Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine.

Additionally, Knightley will be playing Princess Diana in a biopic with Dame Helen Mirren playing Diana's mother, Frances Shand Kydd.

But watch out, Keira - actress Charlize Theron is also starring as the Princess of Wales in a rival project, with producer Stephen Evans. Though the Theron film will instead focus on Diana's friendship with her former bodyguard, to reportedly be played by Evan McGregor.

Everyone's still obsessed with Princess Di!

Rihanna Dishes On A Katy Perry Duet, Disses Her "Who's That Chick" Song As Generic

Posted on Wed Oct 20th, 2010 11:50am PDT       By X17 Staff

Rihanna already has a new album coming out - entitled Loud in November - and a new special project with Doritos, so that means the singer is out on the promotional trail.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ri had a couple interesting points to make. First of all, she admits that she and BFF Katy Perry are "in the studio" talking about a duet "right now!" (Of course, Katy is technically in India at the moment, but we understand what Ri means...)

Second, Rihanna kinda disses her new club song "Who's That Chick." Read why below: "It’s a bonus track and not on Loud. It’s a great song but it’s safe. It’s like a lot of other songs out there."

Wow, so she basically admits that it's a pretty generic song? Props to Rihanna for speaking the truth! I like her even more now. Check out the music vid below!

Michael Lohan Vows To Stop Speaking To Media, Apologizes to Lindsay and Dina

Michael Lohan has decided to try a new approach in helping his daughter, Lindsay, battle her addictions. Papa Lohan says he'll no longer speak to the media.

Lohan sent the following statement to X17online ... detailing why he came to this decision. We have not, in any way, altered the below message.

    After serious thought and conversation last night, with someone who means alot to me. I am making this statement and fully intend on living by it. With all due respect to those who have both gotten on my nerves for reporting things that weren't true, ( as well as things that were),I want to make a public statement that I will not be commenting on ANYTHING relating to my daughter Lindsay, or ANYTHING my ex wife Dina, or any "sources" related to her, might say.

    After all the things said and the incidents which have transpired, I realize that no matter how wrong or right I may have been, at the end of the day, I was wrong for offending my ex wife and my children. Because of the spotlight and scrutiny we have been under, as well as my own "pride", which has caused pain to my mother, (deceased father), brother, sisters and their sibling, I realize how my statements and actions have had a ripple effect on all of them.

    If it was me alone, it would be one thing, but I'm not. The things I have said and done, have cased hurt , pain and embarrassment for all of them. That being said, I make this statement in humble supplication. And NO MATTER what accusations, lies or conjecture are disseminated to the public,about me, for the sake of the ones I love and with hope of creating peace, I WILL NOT respond, in ANY way, to what is said or done, to me.

    MY family"s health and well being matters too much. For the sake of those I offended, I apologize and ask their forgiveness. But even if they can't find it in their heart to forgive, like I forgive them. I KNOW that God will have the last word and defend me in His own way. So please refrain from from calling or contacting me.


Lindsay is scheduled to be in court this Friday in connection with her probation violation. Michael Lohan confirms to X17online that he will "of course" be at the courthouse on Friday. He tells us, "She needs to know I am behind her."

At Friday's hearing, Judge Elden Fox could either send Lindsay back to rehab or straight to jail.

Katy Perry Wears Traditional Indian Symbol Of Virginity Days Before Wedding To Russell Brand

Posted on Wed Oct 20th, 2010 10:17am PDT       By X17 Staff

Katy Perry and husband-to-be Russell Brand landed in Jaipur, India this morning, and as we've previously reported, the lovebirds are set to tie the knot this Saturday in a lavish ceremony at the Taj Rambagh Palace.

We couldn't help but notice Katy's interesting choice of facial jewelry, and it turns out she's sporting a Nath, which is hooked to her right ear by a fancy gold chain. Traditionally the groom removes the Nath after the wedding, which symbolizes the end of bride's virginity. Katy and Russell have obviously done the deed, but it was recently reported that she imposed a sex ban in the weeks leading up to their wedding. Born again virgin? Hey, it's the thought that counts!

Posted on Wed Oct 20th, 2010 10:07am PDT       By X17 Staff

james230.jpgThe company known for their custom motorcycles, West Coast Choppers, is shutting down their Long Beach store ... but if you're a Cisco Burgers lover, not to worry! Jesse James has decided to keep the burger joint open, an employee confirms to X17online.

Now that owner Jesse James has moved to Texas, sources close to the biking bad boy tell us he has decided to close the Long Beach West Coast Choppers' shop to focus his attention on the business operations in The Lone Star State.

As for Cisco Burgers, an employee tells X17online exclusively:

    "Cisco is definitely not closing. We have been extremely busy. Jesse is living in Texas, but he is always coming back and forth. We haven't heard anything about West Coast Choppers closing. They're definitely understaffed, but business has never slowed down."


Cisco Burgers was opened in April 2006. West Coast Choppers came to Long Beach back in the early 90's, and in 2002, Discovery Channel approached James to host the show Monster Garage.

Jesse James and reps for West Coast Choppers have not been available for comment.
