While we doubt there's any sort of romance brewing between Leonardo DiCaprio and his
Inception co-star Ellen Page, she definitely knows how to make the talented thespian crack a smile!
We caught the two actors on set in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, and even though Leo's dressed in some utterly drab duds, he still looks mighty fine. And I guess those rumors of him dropping 30 pounds for his role in this flick are totally untrue - he def doesn't look like he's going for the emaciated look, so thank goodness for that!

Uh-oh... another setback for director Roman Polanski!
The AP reports that the 76-year-old - previously convicted of engaging in sexual relations with a 13-year-old girl in 1977 - has been ordered by the Swiss court to stay in jail. Apparently, his lawyers attempted to get him out on bail or put him on house arrest, but this has all been rejected.
So says the Federal Criminal Court: "We've considered the risk that Roman Polanski might flee if released from custody as high." Burn!
Ah well, I guess it's back to the drawing board. Luckily he has half of Hollywood on his side!

It's nice to see that former cheaters LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian didn't break up their families just for a fling. The co-starring couple looked just as happy and in love as ever at Katsuya last night.
And as happy as LeAnn looks, we're even happier that she ditched the
workout wear for an adorable dress and leather jacket for the night!

The wait is definitely ova.
Rihanna streamed her new single,
Russian Roulette on her
website today, and although it's a darker sound than we're used to from the R&B pop princess, we have to say we're loving it.
We'll have to wait until 11/23 to hear the rest of her album, called
Rated R, but this is definitely a newer, harder Rihanna than we've seen before. Instead of offering her umbrella as shelter, it sounds like she may pull a Britney and beat you over the head with it!
The gun themed song, co-written and produced by Ne-Yo, references her tumultuous history with Chris Brown.
“You can see my heart beating, you can see it through my chest/I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving/Know that I must pass this test,†Rihanna sings. “So just pull the trigger.â€Â
The track ends with the sound of a gunshot, another ode to her recent fascination with
guns.
So do you love it?

Shocking, right?
Investigators searched through e-mails, phone records and financial documents from the home of Richard Heene (aka Balloon Boy's dad) yesterday, looking for evidence that Heene may have been paid by a production company to orchestrate last week's hoax.
According to
THR, the sheriff's office said its findings will be forwarded to prosecutors next week to decide if Heene and his wife Mayumi should be charged with falsely reporting that their 6-year-old son drifted away in a helium balloon in an attempt to gain publicity for a reality TV show.
Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden added that documents show that a media outlet had agreed to pay the Heenes, and while he did not name the company, he said that it was in an industry that blurs "the line between entertainment and news."

What Women Want, Selena will play a young girl who can hear what boys are thinking.
And you thought there was no originality left in Hollywood!

Once the queen of junk food, Britney's trading in her love of cheese puffs for sushi.
Stylist GK Reid, who worked on Brit's upcoming
3 video, told
Page Six, "She exhibited amazing energy and was in great shape -- her body looked better than it has in years." And here's why: "She munched on sushi instead of junk food, and even sang live with the words. She worked really hard and was really sweet to all the dancers."
Although Brit's
body has been rockin' as of late, do you really think she'd permanently give up on frapps and cheese puffs or as soon as her tour is over and all her videos are in the can, she'll go right back to her first love?

Last night Rihanna was photographed leaving Milk Studios in NYC, and as much as we love the R&B princess and her eccentric sense of fashion, her backwards blonde Woody Woodpecker 'do is a major hair don't!
Or perhaps it was inspired by John Travolta's character in
Swordfish? Either way, this look needs to be hidden under an umbrella, stat!
