Burlesque has an official Facebook page, and they've shared a brand new still from the film, featuring Christina Aguilera's character onstage covered in pearls. The movie comes out on November 24, and we can't wait to see Cher, Kristen Bell, Twilight's Cam Gigandet and Stanley Tucci in the movie. Yes, really!

Mel Gibson has admitted to his baby mama, Oksana Grigorieva, that he is a "f**cking failure," according to TMZ.
Back on March 1, two months after their domestic situation, Gibson emailed Grigorieva from his iPhone the following message:
"I really am losing my grip. I desperately need a solution. Sorry it has to affect you. I can't stand anything any more ... I'm stuck. I try to be ok but it overpowers me & i'm (sic) something I don't want to be. It's a primal scream thing. The pain is too great & everywhere I turn is making it heavier. Oh to have peace! Oh to have joy. Oh to be able to provide it for another. I'm a f**king failure."
Mel continued to send messages, the next being on March 7. He writes:
"I felt a high degree of agitation in you when u left tonight. I'm sorry. I guess I'm in a process of being torn down so I can rebuild. I love you ... I was terrified of where we were going & my outbursts & the potential for damage."
In a final iPhone message on January 6, Mel asks:
"How's your tooth? I want to tell you how uspeakably (sic) sorry I am."
Various reports had claimed that Mel had punched out two of Oksana's teeth during their domestic incident. Gibson's camp had denied those claims.

Last night Dancing With The Stars premiered on ABC, and we're not sure who's going to take home the shiny disco ball trophy, but one thing's for sure: it's not going to be Jersey Shore's Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino!
After watching Bristol Palin rip off her jacket (bummer, her mom Sarah wasn't there!), we saw Jennifer Grey tear it up on the dance floor, and we were almost as impressed with Audrina's fancy footwork. However, the big bomb of the night was not The Hoff (who cha cha cha-ed to "Sex Bomb"), but rather The Situation!
After watching his shaky routine with partner Karina Smirnoff (which only scored them 15 out of 30 points), judge Len Goodman said the beefy reality TV star has potential, but added that he's “under-rehearsed. It lacked polish. You’ve got the guns, but not the ammunition. Better luck next week.â€Â
Bruno Tonioli wasn't nearly as nice, as he barked, “You’re gonna look like a jackass if you carry on like that. You’ve got to apply yourself … This wasn’t very good. You have to take this seriously.†But will he get the boot or will he have the same kind of luck Kate Gosselin did last season?

Kevin Jonas and wife Danielle Deleasa dined at Dan Tana's in West Hollywood last night, and the duo weren't exactly striking a pose on the sidewalk for photogs, but they didn't seem to mind having their pic snapped either. The usually quiet couple had to have known that there would be some paparazzi at the popular Italian eatery, which would certainly explain why Danielle looked so cute!

Eva Longoria and husband Tony Parker attended the Par Coeur Gala at the Pavillon Cambon Capucines in Paris last night, and we were blown away by how gorgeous she looked! Eva's definitely a cutie and we've been digging the thigh high boots she's rocked since she arrived in France, but this floor length couture is an A-plus.

Last night Michael Douglas (who was looking great despite his recent battle with cancer), wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, Shia LaBeouf, Carey Mulligan and a handful of other stars hit the red carpet for the Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps premiere in NYC.
We're curious to see the return of Gordon Gecko, but we're also interested in seeing the onscreen chemistry between real life lovers Shia and Carey ... wonder why they didn't pose together for photogs?

And we're not surprised!
Lindsay Lohan has had yet another bad week in a string of unending bad weeks - she failed her latest drug test, admitted to it on Twitter and today was issued an arrest warrant...
Now LiLo is ordered to appear in court this Friday at 8:30 AM.
So what did Lindsay do in response? Visit a day spa in LA of course! Her older brother Michael Jr. and her sister Ali were along for the ride. After all, she must be stressed - Judge Fox might send her back to jail for 30 days. Or maybe he'll take pity on her and give Linds a second another chance?

If the old AA adage is true - "the first step is admitting you have a problem" - then how come Lindsay Lohan has seemingly made almost no progress since 2007?
The rehabilitated starlet took to Twitter last week, admitting that she failed her drug test (which was positive for cocaine) and talked about her addictive nature: "Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn't go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps forward every day. This was certainly a setback for me but I am taking responsibility for my actions and I'm prepared to face the consequences."
How refreshing to see LiLo not in denial! But does it sound familiar? It should. When was the last time she said something remotely similar?
Roughly three years ago to be exact - August 2007, just after negotiating a plea deal in her DUI case and just before entering the Cirque Lodge rehab center in Utah. The statement read:
"It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs. Recently, I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case. No matter what I said when I was under the influence on the day I was arrested, I am not blaming anyone else for my conduct other than myself. I thank God I did not injure others. I easily could have. I very much want to be healthy and gain control of my life and career and have asked for medical help in doing so. I am taking these steps to improve my life. Luckily, I am not alone in my daily struggle and I know that people like me have succeeded. Maybe with time it will become easier. I hope so."
And what's happened since then? Lindsay engaged in an on-and-off relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson - probably the most stable time of her life in retrospect - made two films (Labor Pains and Machete) and then, finally, was sentenced to jail and a fourth stint in rehab.
Looks like Linds is back in the same situation she was in three years ago! Except for the fact that, taking a glance at the pix above, she at least appears healthier than in September 2007. But these similar-sounding statements make us wonder whether or not LiLo has actually learned anything.
The 24 year old had admitted she's "had a problem" twice now. So when will she start to get better?
