Bristol Palin is set to make her acting debut playing herself on ABC Family's
The Secret Life of the American Teen.
The series, which takes a more conservative view of teen pregnancy, is the perfect fit for the teen mom. After all, as executive producer Brenda Hampton pointed out, "Bristol Palin is the most famous teenage mother in America."
Bristol herself says, "I am thrilled to be on this show and to be a part of a program that educates teens and young adults about the consequences of teen pregnancy," in a statement to
Us.
We're sure she'll be brillz at playing herself, but is the 19-year-old, who's currently in a custody dispute with her baby daddy Levi Johnstone, really the best role model?

Dave Franco talked about having a famous (and equally hot) brother:
“I hope one day people will come up to James and say, ‘Ohhh...you’re Dave Franco’s older brother!’"
And Liam Hemsworth may be most famous in this country for dating a Disney Princess, but he tells
Details that he began his career by dating an Elephant Princess:
"I did a kids’ television series in Australia called The Elephant Princess. It was about a princess who did magic. I played her boyfriend and we had a band together. It was a funny show.â€Â

X17 photographers just informed us that one of Travis Barker's close pals got pulled over and ticketed by California Highway Patrol after blocking traffic and threatening photographers on Parkway Calabasas just before 11:40am.
When photographers first spotted Travis, he was driving his Escalade and being tailed by his pal, but after a few minutes the two returned to the rock star's home and swapped cars, with the friend getting behind the wheel of Travis' SUV. After cruising down the road, the friend stopped the car and began screaming obscenities at photographers, catching the eye of a CHP officer.
Our X17 photographer tells X17online exclusively:
"Travis and his friend were both yelling and throwing things at photographers when they first came out, and Travis was making a motion with hands that depicted a gun being fired. When the motorcycle cop showed up, he immediately scolded Travis' friend, and shortly after that a CHP car with two officers arrived and the vehicle was cited."
Of course, the drama all began over the weekend when Travis lashed out at a photographer for getting too close to him and his daughter. Not only did he threaten photogs verbally, but he took a swipe at one videographer! In case you missed it, click the video below to watch it all play out...
Stay tuned for pictures and video!

Jennifer Lopez may have just parted ways with her record label, Sony's Epic Records, but that's not all she has to worry about. There's a J-Lo look-a-like on the loose! Well, not really. It's her ex hubby Ojani Noa's girlfriend, Claudia Vasquez, who has been cast to play Jennifer in his upcoming movie.
X17online has exclusively obtained these shots from the set.
Claudia knows that the movie is controversial, but she's welcoming the attention. But with Jennifer being of Puerto Rican decent, she has a feeling J-Lo won't be showing her love. She tells X17online exclusively "I don't think Jennifer will like it...especially because I'm Mexican." Ay, caramba!
So how did Claudia get the part? Co-producer Ed Meyer tells X17online "As we can't legally use a lookalike of Jennifer Lopez, we need to use Ojani's girlfriend Claudia Vazquez."
Noa, along with co-producer Ed Meyer, has already started production on
ESCAPING CUBA & THEN THE MAFIA…“How I created Jennifer Lopez!†The Ojani Noa Story. The 90-minute feature will begin when Noa and friends escaping Cuba. The film will also explore his high-profile relationship with Lopez, his struggling career as a bartender, as well as dive into his mob ties.
Noa and his megastar ex-wife have been involved in an ongoing legal battle involving their past as a couple, and keeping the details of their relationship under wraps.
This movie is certainly a pressure point. But can J-Lo prevent its release? With the case currently going through the court system, millions of dollars are at stake.
Who says
Love Don't Cost a Thing?

Funny girl Sarah Silverman stepped out with some curious white powder on her nose.
We can't tell if that's a makeup malfunction of
Nicole Kidman proportions (because she doesn't seem to be wearing much makeup) or if it's a
Lindsay Lohan-style sniffer faux-pas!
In any event, a mirror might be handy in situations such as these!

I know lots of tween girls are willing to give up their college fund for a chance to touch Justin Bieber, and while I don't really understand the appeal of a squeaky voiced guy who stands at a towering 5'5", I wasn't really that annoyed with him - until now.
Since when was it okay for a fifteen-year-old boy to rip Victoria Beckham's look with a pair of Tom Ford knockoff sunglasses? Someone's trying waaaaaay too hard to be cool.

Chris Brown showed off a copy of his new "mixtape", the very Britney sounding In My Zone while taking off from LAX yesterday.
Chris was beaming ear-to-ear, and he's certainly got a lot to smile about! With a great
progress report, a new album and Tiger Woods' apology to take the attention off his own mea culpas, looks like Brown's working on mending his badly beaten reputation.
