“Friends” actor David Schwimmer and photographer Zoe Buckman have announced they’re engaged. This will be the first marriage for both. The two met in London while Schwimmer was there directing the 2007 comedy “Run Fatboy Run.”

Corey Haim’s Name Found On Drug-Ring Prescription

California officials have revealed that the late Corey Haim’s name has turned up in their investigation of a major drug ring. Though the L.A. coroner’s office has not yet said what killed the 38-year-old actor last week, he had long battled addiction. Authorities found prescription drug bottles in his home – all prescribed by a doctor – but California Attorney General Jerry Brown said Haim’s name was found on a fake prescription for OxyContin uncovered in the ongoing state investigation. Haim’s agent says that he thinks the actor had an adverse reaction to meds, rather than an overdose.

‘Alice’ Still Reigns

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” easily held on to the No. 1 spot at the box office last weekend, taking in a whopping $62 million. “Alice” has climbed to a $208.6 million total domestically, becoming the first $200 million hit released this year. In its second weekend in theaters, “Alice in Wonderland” pulled ahead of the $206.5 million domestic haul of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” to become the top-grossing of Depp and Burton’s seven films together, including “Edward Scissorhands,” “Sweeney Todd” and “Corpse Bride.” “Alice in Wonderland” added $76 million overseas to bring its international total to $221 million and its worldwide gross to $430 million. “Alice” took in nearly as much as the rest of the top 10 movies combined. Meanwhile, James Cameron’s blockbuster, “Avatar,” remains a strong draw after nearly three months in theaters, taking in $6.6 million over the weekend to raise its domestic total to $730.3 million. The movie has topped $2.6 billion worldwide.

Crew Refused To Let Tiger’s Wife Ride In Ambulance

The ambulance crew that took Tiger Woods from the scene of his car crash outside his home to the hospital refused to let Tiger’s wife, Elin Nordegren, ride with her husband because they said the incident was a case of domestic violence. The news broke on Friday after the Orlando Sentinel quoted Florida police records. The new information has once again raised the possibility of domestic violence in the November 27th incident. Woods has repeatedly denied any domestic violence.

‘Celebrity Apprentice’ Premieres

Last night was the Season Three premiere of “Celebrity Apprentice.” Donald Trump, of course, has already fired somebody. As usual, the teams were divided into men vs. women to kick off the show. Last night’s task was to run a diner for three hours. The winner was determined by which team raised the most money. To keep it interesting, Trump had each team choose the other team’s project manager. The men chose Cyndi Lauper for the women, and Brett Michaels was the women’s choice. But who got fired? Unfortunately for her, comedian Carol Leifer went home because she was on the losing team (the women) and wasn’t much of a team player. The Donald promised that the next task would not be based on who could bring the most money from their deep-pocketed celebrity friends and he was telling the truth. Next week’s episode asks the Rocksolid and Tenacity teams to build a storefront to re-launch Kodak’s famous Kodak Moments campaign.

Michael Jackson’s Children Interviewed By Child Protection

Michael Jackson’s children were interviewed by the Department of Children and Family Services yesterday, according to RadarOnline.com. The interviews occur in the wake of a stun-gun incident that prompted the state agency’s investigation. Jermaine Jackson’s son, Jaafar, 13, bought a stun gun online and reportedly tried to use it on Michael’s son, Blanket. The family denies that. Jermaine Jackson’s children, Jaafar and Jermajesty, 9, live at their grandmother’s Encino house with their cousins, Michael’s three children. As many as 14 people live in Katherine Jackson’s house at any given time.

Debbie Rowe Wins Defamation Suit

Michael Jackson’s ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, has won a defamation lawsuit she filed against a woman who allegedly spread lies about her in the press. Rowe sued Rebecca White back in July when White went on “Extra” after Jackson’s death and claimed Debbie didn’t care about getting custody of Michael’s kids and was only interested in getting money from the Jackson family. Rebecca never responded to Debbie’s lawsuit so the judge entered a default judgment yesterday. Debbie was awarded $27,000, including $10,000 in damages for emotional distress.

Timberlake Reunites With Diaz For ‘Bad Teacher’

Justin Timberlake has signed on to play the male lead in “Bad Teacher,” a new Cameron Diaz comedy.

The film follows Diaz, a seventh-grade teacher who gets dumped, as she competes for the love of Timberlake, a substitute teacher. The film is expected to start shooting this month in Los Angeles.

Vikki and the Jetta driver were not seriously injured but Rikki was rushed to the intensive care unit at a local hospital.

The president will discuss the show’s impact over its 22 years as well as his administration’s anti-crime initiatives, including those involving white-collar crime.

Army Sgt. Says He Was ‘Locker’ Inspiration

A U.S. Army Master Sergeant is suing the makers of “The Hurt Locker” for allegedly basing the film’s main character and plot points on his experiences. The Iraq war movie has been winning awards all season and is up for several Oscars this Sunday. A law firm claims Sarver “is, in fact, the film’s main character, ‘Will James,’ or ‘Blaster One,’ which was Master Sgt. Sarver’s ‘call signal’ during his tours of duty in Iraq.” The suit said screenwriter Mark Boal was allowed, as part of an armed services press program, to be embedded in Sarver’s unit. The suit also claims the movie’s screenwriter and makers intentionally cheated Sarver out of financial participation in the film and any acknowledgment of his heroic actions in Iraq.

Funeral Plans Set For Osmond’s Son

Marie Osmond’s publicist has confirmed a private funeral is being planned in Utah for the entertainer’s 18-year-old son, Michael. The troubled teen reportedly suffered from depression and jumped to his death from the eighth floor of his apartment building in Los Angeles last Friday. The family – including Marie’s ex-husband and Michael’s father, Brian Blosil – are expected to gather for the private funeral on Monday. A viewing has been set for Sunday.

Baron Cohen Ousted From Oscars Again

Sasha Baron Cohen had been the first choice of Oscar producers to host the ABC-televised ceremony but was dropped following objections by the motion picture academy. Now he has been dropped as an Oscar presenter. Baron Cohen had been set to appear with Ben Stiller onstage dressed as a blue-skinned, female Na’vi from “Avatar.” Stiller was to have been “her” translator. The script called for her to grow increasingly upset, finally ripping open her costume to reveal a pregnant belly and accuse “Avatar” director James Cameron of knocking her up during the filming. The bit was nixed at the last moment by co-producer Bill Mechanic, who feared it would offend Cameron.

Betty White NOT Dead

Betty White is alive and well – though one hoaxer better lie low for a while! For a few minutes Tuesday night / early Wednesday morning, a death hoax was making the rounds on Twitter. The hoax didn’t start on Twitter, however; it was sparked by a post on the popular gossip blog “Oh No They Didn’t” that pretended to be a screen grab of a TMZ article. The article was clearly fake, mentioning possibilities of foul play and drug abuse. The offending post was eventually deleted, but the damage was done and White’s fans are calling for blood.

Burt Reynolds Recovers From Quintuple Bypass

‘Gilligan’s Island’ To Become A Movie
