Think Kristen Stewart had any idea how much cardio she'd be doing for
The Runaways? They have this girl running, jumping and
tumbling, all while wearing head to toe leather! And if all that wasn't enough, it's been pretty hot here in Los Angeles, with temps hitting the high 80s and low 90s - we can only imagine how exhausted the actress was after this!

No, no, not
that kind. We all know she's not
VH1 Divas material...but it does look like the singer/actress has some very divalike demands for her new show on the network!
Jessica is scheduled to start shooting
The Price of Beauty next week, where she will travel all over the world to get an in depth look at various beauty regimens. However, a source tells the
NY Post that Jessica's budget is about as inflated as her...well, you get the idea. A source tells the
Post, "To get her camera-ready each episode will cost $25,000. She insists on using her own hair, makeup and fashion stylists, who are more expensive than J.Lo's." Yikes!
Though VH1 wouldn't comment on the matter, Jessica's rep said, "A budget was approved when the deal was made. All parties were satisfied."
Maybe if the show ends up being a huge hit, it'll all be worth it?

After several weeks of breaking up, making up and
freaking out, Lindsay has finally found her way back into Sam's heart - and her home.
After spending about 45 minutes at the Chateau Marmont with pals, Lindsay met up with Sam at the Darkroom on Melrose, where the girls stayed 'til closing! In addition to having lighter hair, looks like Lindsay's also got a lighter attitude - she was very smiley in Sam's company and seemed thrilled to be back in the DJ's good graces. Samantha's even begun
tweeting Lindz again after a long break!
The girls left the club together and headed back to Sam's house. This time Lindsay didn't have to
wait outside for hours to be let in.
I guess blondes DO have more fun!

It seems that AEG has finally found a way to fill the 50 concert void left in London's O2 stadium by Michael Jackson's death - with Whitney Houston and Robbie Williams. (No, not together, but wouldn't that be awesome?)
AEG has had a tough time filling the spots previously reserved for Jackson, but they believe they've finally found two performers with enough star power to take over the dates.
A source from AEG told the
Evening Standard, “Whitney Houston has been on the O2 arena wish-list for a while  she has the voice and hits to sell the arena out several times over." As for Williams, "Robbie's eagerly-awaited album will be out soon and he is likely to be touring Europe next year. It will be perfect for him to start with shows at the O2.“
Both singers are hoping for a comeback with their new albums, which are being released this year.

After news broke Wednesday that Jude Law was expecting a
love child with mystery woman, everyone's been curious about the woman who captured his
heart DNA, and here she is!
24-year-old model slash wannabe actress Samantha Burke was living in Jersey City (a Jersey Girl?!?) when she hooked up with the Brit bad boy while he was in the Big Apple shooting
Sherlock Holmes.
Just a little bit about her (courtesy of her profile on modelmayhem.com):
"Hello there! Well my name is Samantha, obviously. I am passionate about fashion and photography, but of course I just love to be in front of the camera.
I've been modelling locally for about eight years now and do not want to give it up! I would love to go full-time eventually.
I worked in New York City this past summer of 07' and I'm now across the river in Jersey City. I attended acting classes at the New York Studio for Film & Television. It was a commercial and soap opera based course. I loved it! I wouldn't mind modeling AND acting."
Well, she's certainly starring in one of the year's biggest dramas now!
Lawyers for both the Law and Burke confirm that the baby is in fact Jude's, and that he's committed to supporting the illegitimate child, a girl due in October. However,
The Sun reports that Burke's retained the services of a "high-powered" attorney who will fight to make sure she gets everything the baby needs...and more.
"Jude is in for a seriously tough time," a source tells the paper. "He's accepted he's the father and promised to do everything he can as a father. But the family in New York want it in writing. There is a high-powered lawyer in the girl's family getting involved and Jude is terrified he will be cleaned out. Her family are also furious he's had his way and disappeared back to Britain. The girl wants a large maintenance payment and financial costs, including a percentage of Jude's future earnings, agreed in writing."
I guess it pays to know the Law!

...Rihanna was able to strut down the sidewalk in NYC without getting one of her leopard Louboutins stuck in an air vent. Hey, that's hard work!
We're so used to seeing such wild and crazy outfits from this girl, when we caught her in a basic black onesie last night at Da Silvano, we were a bit surprised. I mean, she looks stunning, but this is so simple for her - we can't even remember we saw the R&B star tone it down this much! Is basic and classy Rihanna's new look? Or is there still a fierce fashionista in there somewhere?

Although lawyers on both sides claim that Rowe, the mother of Jackson's two eldest, had reached an agreement with the Jacksons to let Katherine
retain custody of the kids while she was to get visitation and NO extra money,
The NY Post is claiming that Debbie will in fact receive 4 million for signing the deal.
Jackson's ex-wife was reportedly receiving 1 million a year in an "informal" spousal support agreement between her and the king of pop, a payout that Michael's family apparently tried to put a stop to.
That's when Rowe started to make noise about challenging the Jacksons for custody.
"They just want to get rid of her. They recognized early in this process that she had no interest in playing a real role in their lives and that it was all about money," a source told the paper. So they decided to buy her off to the tune of 4 mill. BUT, "As part of the agreement, they have to say it's not about money."

Now this would be amazing!
Katie Holmes has apparently been approached to take a role in the next
Sex And The City film, reports
The Sun.
Though Katie hasn't done many movies over the past few years (not compared to what she used to, anyway...), studio execs are hopeful they can get her to play a feisty New York businesswoman in
SATC sequel. A source told the paper, "The character they want her to play is a really ballsy, high-powered company executive who tangles with Samantha." Ooooh, we love it already!
UPDATE:
Booo! Looks like this isn't gonna happen. A rep for the actress just told
Access Hollywood there is “no truth†to the report, and a rep for Sarah Jessica Parker shot down the rumors too.
