Robert Redford, 71, finally marries German girlfriend Sibylle Szaggars, 51


RobertRed_Dimit_16615478_600 Robert Redford, 71, is officially off the market.

And he's married a woman 20 years his junior!

Not that it matters much at this stage of life. Plus the lovebirds have been living together since the '90s at his 5,500-acre Utah ranch.

The Sundance Kid married his longtime girlfriend, German artist Sibylle Szaggars, 51, Saturday at the luxury Louis C. Jacob Hotel in Hamburg, Germany.

Pastor Frank Engelbrecht of Hamburg's St. Catherine Church, told People that the couple wanted the ceremony to be "intimate."

The bride wore a champagne-colored gown.

Redford chose a white suit.

Redford, 71, was previously married to Lola Redford from 1958 until their divorce in 1985.

They have three children.

The marriage was not a surprise.

Sibylle and Bob got engaged last March.

The Oscar-winning actor told the German magazine Bunte:"'We are engaged and very happy with that. She [Sibylle] is my fiancee and that says everything, doesn’t it?"

To see photos of his new bride, keep reading ...

David Arquette and Courteney Cox take another stab at 'Scream 4'

Courteney cox

David Arquette
let it slip to E! that "Scream 4" is happening and he and Courteney Cox will star in it.

Courteney_JimS_6119746_600 Oh, goodie! Just what all the Arquette and Cox fans have been waiting for!

Kevin Williamson is writing the script, Arquette said. "Hopefully Wes Craven is going to direct."

In the original horror film, Arquette played Deputy Dewey Riley and  Cox was a B-wordy tabloid television reporter Gale Weathers.

"I fell in love with my wife on 'Scream,' so the opportunity to bring [Dewey] back to life and for my wife to play that really bitchy character again, it's just going to be really fun," Arquette said. "It's just great."

Especially after her TV show "Dirt" dried up and her new series, "Cougar Town," isn't exactly getting rave views.

Frankly, we'd rather see some fresh young faces in "Scream 4." Nothing personal. Just saying...

But we do hope they bring back Drew Barrymore!

Although word is that Nev Campbell already said no.

Debbie Rowe sells kids to Katherine Jackson for $4 million? She says not true!

Inthisha_Kevin_57857271_600


Debbie Rowe may make Octomom Nadya Suleman look like a good mother.

Michael Jackson’s incubator has reportedly sold off her two kids for the third time.

According to the New York Post, she just squeezed a reported $4 million from Katherine Jackson, her former mother-in-law, in exchange for giving up the kids.

But according to TMZ, that's simply not true.

The site is reporting that her lawyer Eric George says the story that Rowe is getting a cool $4 million is "completely false."

George wrote a letter that says "Ms. Rowe has not accepted -- and will not accept -- any additional financial consideration beyond the spousal support she and Michael Jackson personally agreed to several years ago." 

Here's more of the Post's disputed report....

'Twilight's' Robert Pattinson gets beaten up in New York!

RobertPat_James_57761229_600

Not to worry, Robert Pattinson fans. That's not real blood. And the paparazzi and Rob's rabid fans didn't attack him.

It's just a scene from his new film "Remember Me" now shooting in NYC.

This little film has to go down in movie history as having the most photos taken -- and released to the public -- during production.

Rob's every scene is being photographed and put on the Web.

We get the promotional aspect of all this media attention. But it may backfire.

By the time the shoot is finished, we're all gonna feel like we've already seen the darn film.

Anyone else agree?

Daniel Radcliffe on gay buzz, Emma Watson's panties and Rob Pattinson

ActorDani_JonF_57855675_600

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" star Daniel Radcliffe talked to moviefone.com about how "awesome" it is that people think he's gay, Emma Watson's panties, and working with "Twilight" hunk Robert Pattinson.

Oh, and he also doesn't think there should be another "Harry Potter" film. Blasphemy or not?

On people thinking he's gay:

“I grew up around gay people my entire life, basically, that's possibly why I'm quite camp, and some people think I'm gay when I meet them, which I think is awesome.”

Yeah, and this suit may have something to do with it too. (joking)

On Emma Watson's recent red carpet panties flash:

“I did feel bad for her. Men will never know the kind of humiliation of having an upskirt done, which poor old Emma had. We talked a few days after her birthday, and she said, 'It was awful, they were all over me. They were trying to shoot up my knickers!' It's incredibly invasive. That's why I do think it's much, much harder for girls being famous than it is for guys.”

Tony Romo dumps Jessica Simpson the night before her birthday?

Performers_Micha_55322305_600

Tony Romo broke up with Jessica Simpson the night before her 29th birthday?

All together now: What a total CREEP!

"She is heartbroken," a source tells People. "She loves Tony. But it's been difficult lately. He's busy with his career and she's getting ready to shoot her show ("The Price of Beauty"). They decided to part ways."

The Dallas Cowboys QB partied with bunch of pals at MyHouse in Hollywood on Friday night without poor Jessica, whose birthday was that day. Last year he attended her 28th birthday party, although they were reportedly having problems in the relationship.

BTW, none of this is confirmed. People says that Simpson’s rep had no comment and Romo's rep could not be reached. How con-ven-ient!

Levi Johnston says Sarah Palin quit to make more money! Make sense?

Levi-johnston-bristol-palin-sarah-palin copy Sarah Palin’s daughter’s baby daddy, Levi Johnston, says the Alaska governor really resigned her office over money issues.

'Cause he knows all about money issues.

Johnston says he lived (we're betting rent free) with the Palin family from early December to mid-January.

He says he overheard the governor several times say how nice it would be to take advantage of those lucrative deals that were being offered, like a reality TV show and a book.

"I think the big deal was the book. That was millions of dollars," said Johnston.

Palin currently has a book deal, but advance details haven't been revealed. The governor has said that she is facing more than $500,000 in legal fees.

"It is interesting to learn Levi is working on a piece of fiction while honing his acting skills," Palin family spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton wryly told the Associated Press.

Meow!

AP reports Johnston is pursuing his own book deal and a movie deal.

A movie deal?

Is he kidding? Would you buy Levi's book? Or Sarah's?

Jon Gosselin's gal pal, Hailey Glassman, has a mug shot?


Glassman-mugshot Hailey Glassman, 22, was photographed holding hands with "Jon & Kate Plus 8" loser Jon Gosselin in St. Tropez, France, over the weekend.

The love birds spent their days sunning on the luxury yacht of designer Christian Audigier, who says he wants to do a line of kidswear with Gosselin. 

But here's a less-than-flattering photo of Jon's new squeeze. Her 2005 mug shot.

According to Us Weekly, she was picked up by cops outside an Indiana University dorm in Bloomington back in 2005 when she was attending school there.

According to the IU Police Department, Glassman and friends were in a parking lot around 3 in the morning on Oct. 2, 2005. A cop saw them "passing a pipe back and forth,"

Glassman was arrested for marijuana possession. She had two small baggies that tested positive for THC.

The case was settled out of court.

She paid fines and court costs and was put on probation.

Where does he find these classy girls?

Oh, right. This one is the daugher of Kate's plastic surgeon — the guy who did her infamous tummy tuck.

Jon Gosselin, aspiring children's clothing designer?

The "Jon & Kate Plus 8' star was in St. Tropez this weekend with his 22-year-old gal pal, Hailey Glassman.

But it wasn't all Champagne and topless sunbathing on Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier's yacht.

"We would like to do a line of children's clothing," Audigier told E! News exclusively on Sunday. Wonder if Kate will get part of the fashion action?

Just what the world needs: more overpriced, punked-out, tattoo-print kids' clothes.

Gosselin and Glassman spent their nights in a hotel and their days soaking up the sun and smoking cigarettes aboard the French designer's luxury yacht.

Apparently, they didn't want to rock the boat.... Sorry, couldn't resist that one.

What do you think of Gosselin's new career move? Is he still selling out his kids? Will he and Kate ever stop and make their own money?

Zooey Deschanel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt make sweet music in '500 Days of Summer'

Think it was easy casting quirky Indie rom-com "500 Days of Summer" with nontabloid treasures like Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel?

Not according to Marc Webb, who directed the film (which opens Friday) about Tom, a greeting-card writer and wannabe architect who falls for Summer, who doesn't believe in the Hallmark concept of love.

With their breakup opening the movie, the film leapfrogs through their relationship, raising provocative issues about love and friendship, and reality versus perception.

With a lot of quirky humor and an addictive soundtrack.

At a Santa Barbara Film Festival screening last weekend, Marc talked with Fest exec director Roger Durling about casting two leads who weren't on the cover of celebrity tabloids every week.

Webb met first with Joseph and they talked about who should play his love interest.

Joe actually told Marc that the actress who should play Summer was Zooey. "He had this look in his eyes," Webb recalls. "And he had that look that was Tom [his character]. But then he got depressed, 'Yeah, but no one will want to make a movie with us, we're not household names.'

Webb adds: "It's a testament to Fox Searchlight who let us make the movie with people who were just good actors, who were right for the parts even though they aren't on the cover of Us Weekly."

Watch this video and hear him explain the casting process. But crank up the volume.

Oh, and that's co-writer Scott Neustadter sitting with Webb. Neustadter wrote the script based on his real-life romantic experience. Out of pain comes art?

Vanessa Hudgens is excited to strip in 'Sucker Punch.' No surprise there.

ActressVa_Steve_16815407_600
Disney darling Vanessa Hudgens was really, really sorry about those nude cellphone photos that got released a few years ago. But she's pretty jazzed about some sexy scenes in her new, more adult film fare.

The "High School Musical" starlet will start work later this year on "Sucker Punch," about a group of institutionalized young girls who retreat into a fantasy world.

Part of their fantasy world sounds pretty hot:

"I'm playing a character named Blondie, and it's set in a brothel in the 1950s, so there's not a whole lot of clothes!" she's quoted as saying on IMDb.com

She added: "I think this is my time to really step it up and get to grow up."

On MTV.com, she talks about her role as a sexy woman "strutting her stuff" in the scene in the brothel when the girls put on a show and she does things "I would never have imagined doing."

Oh, we can hardly wait. How about you, Disney? Hey, they gotta grow up sometime.

And it's not like you weren't warned. Her self-taken nude photos sent via cellphone (to her boyfriend Zac Efron?) were a pretty good hint of things to come.

What do you think? Will you pay to see Vanessa Hudgens strip?

Jodie Foster to direct Mel Gibson in 'Beaver'


MelGibson_RonG_7025303_600 


No, "Beaver" is not a porn movie. It's a black comedy Jodie Foster is directing.

According to Variety, Mel Gibson will star as a crazy, depressed man who wears a beaver puppet on his hand and thinks it’s a real beaver.

Foster also will star as Gibson’s wife.

The two last appeared together in the dreadful 1994 cowboy comedy "Maverick."

Oh, dear.

Steve Carell and Jim Carrey were reportedly thinking about “Beaver,” which was named the top script in last year's Blacklist, a list compiled by Hollywood agents, executives and producers.

"Beaver" will be Foster's first directorial venture since 1995's "Home for the Holidays." She also directed "Little Man Tate" in 1991.

Wonder if there's a small role in there for Mel's new love, Oksana Gregorieva.

Was Michael Jackson living in Neverland General Hospital?

SantaBarb_Pool_1853052_600

It's been almost two weeks since Michael Jackson's sudden death and we still don't know for sure what killed him.

But serious drug use rumors abound.

"We are still awaiting corroboration from the coroner's office as to cause of death. That is going to be very dependent on the toxicology reports that are due to come back," Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton told CNN. "And based on those, we will have an idea of what it is we are dealing [with]: are we dealing with a homicide or are we dealing with accidental overdose?"

Back in 2003, Santa Barbara County Sheriff's police raided Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch.

Here's the list -- obtained by TMZ -- of what the police found back then:

"She said that before she decided to quit, she called Dick Cheney. Do you remember Dick 'Ka-boom' Cheney? And I thought, well, this is great because when you want some advice on strategic maneuvers, I mean, you go to the architect of the Iraq war. I mean, isn't that where you go? That's where you want to be."

"I was talking to a lady here in the audience, she was from Alaska and we were wondering about this. How does a thing like this work? She steps down and she's no longer the governor of Alaska. And we figured it out: Miss Congeniality steps up and is now the governor of Alaska."

Dr. Arnold Klein donated sperm 'once,' gave Michael Jackson Demerol


Dr. Arnold Klein, a Beverly Hills dermatologist with a powerful and pampered celebrity clientele, admits he once donated sperm to a sperm bank.

And he also admits he gave Michael Jackson prescriptions for Demerol, although he did not prescribe Diprivan, found in Jackson's home when he died and suspected of causing his death.

Klein said Wednesday that he discovered that Jackson was using Diprivan while on tour in Germany. Klein warned Jackson the drug was dangerous.  "I told him he was absolutely insane."

Yeah, because warning a drug addict about using drugs always does a world of good.

You may recall this was the Dangerous Tour, after which Jackson publicly admitted an addiction to prescription painkillers and was hospitalized and even went into rehab.

But wait til you hear what Klein says about his sperm donation and who should get Michael's kids.

"I'm sorry that I wasn't able to pull it together and really do it right, but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me," Carey explained in a series of posts on Twitter.

The singer added, "One thing I know is, we will never really have to say goodbye to MJ. His legacy lives on through his music and the millions of people he inspired with his timeless music. He will be forever in our hearts."

And now -- as the result of that groundbreaking film -- he is proud to announce that gay people can have jobs, and can be teachers and politicians and doctors and stuff like that.

Where is Michael Jackson’s body being kept?

After Tuesday's memorial service, LAPD Chief William J. Bratton would say only, “ "We have to keep some secrets.”

Sources familiar with the case told the L.A. Times that MJ's body was in safekeeping after being released to the family following the autopsy by the Los Angeles County coroner.

Lindsay Lohan thought 'The Hangover' had 'no potential?' Oops ...

LindsayLo_Jean_57833460_600

What do you know? Lindsay Lohan does not make the best career decisions.

First, she turned down the role in the sleeper hit "The Hangover" that went to Heather Graham and has jump-started Graham's film career big time.

According to US Weekly, Lohan declined the role of stripper Jade in the black comedy about a bachelor party in Vegas,  declaring the screenplay "had no potential."

Now she’s reportedly being sued by a Jennifer Sunday, St. Petersburg, Fla., chemist for allegedly stealing the formula for her new and exciting sunless tanning spray line.

Sunday filed the lawsuit in Tampa, Fla. federal court against Lohan and Lorit Simon, a Las Vegas businesswoman who air-brush-tans celebs and is partners with Lohan on the Seven Nyne line

The only good news – if you can call it that – is that People is reporting that the alleged Dior jewels, MIA after being worn on a Lohan photo shoot, are worth only $38,500, not the $400,000 initially estimated by London coppers.

Well, that's a relief.

Corey Feldman has been dressing like Michael Jackson a long time ...

Corey 1987  Corey now

Former child star Corey Feldman -- who has had his own well publicized battles with drugs over the years -- was a friend of Michael Jackson's back in the 1980s.

But the two young men had a rocky relationship and eventually drifted apart. They reportedly didn't talk for several years before Jackson's death.

But Feldman, visibly upset and eerily dressed like a Jackson imitator, turned up at Staples Center for Michael's memorial.

It even looks like he is wearing the same same hat he wore in 1987! OK, creepy.com

Naturally, he's caught some heat from gossip blogs about his attire and his out-of-the-blue appearances on "The Today Show" and "Larry King Live" to talk about Michael.

 So he's explaining himself -- and his strained relations with Michael -- on his website.

Why we can't take fashion designers seriously anymore ...

Amodelpr_Victo_57855380_600

C'mon, all you guys in the couture department at Maison Martin Margiela. 

The world is going through the worst financial crisis of our lifetime, the oceans are dying, children are suffering around the globe, the polar ice caps are meling.

And to make matters worse, 90,000 seals are going to be clubbed to death in Namibia.

And why isn't Angelina Jolie, Forbes' most powerful celebrity and major Namibia fan (Shiloh was born there, duh) doing anything about that, we ask?

Meanwhile, this is the best outfit you can come with up for us to wear this fall?

Is it any wonder no one takes silly high fashion designers' suggestions to heart anymore.

'Transformers' hottie Megan Fox finally takes a bad photo! Kinda ...

ActressMe_Tony_57857202_600
It's almost impossible to find an unflattering shot of Megan Fox, as you can see from this recent "Worst Photos of Megan Fox" Red Carpet Rewind picture gallery.

But strangely, at the Giorgio Armani fashion show in Paris this week, Megan looked -- how shall we put this -- a bit goofy and grinny.

Her makeup is pasty, her brows look stenciled, her lips are too bright and her hair looks a little too Dita Von Teese.

And what's with the dorky wave? Never wave to photographers!

Maybe she was just overwhelmed by all the international fashion attention.

Whatever. It's probably just an aberration and no more bad photos will be ever be taken again and the universe will go back to normal.

But we want to go on record predicting that Megan will be wearing LOTS of Armani from now on.

Whenever an actress gets flown to Paris on a designer's private jet for a fashion show, some kind of clothing, fragrance or cosmetics endorsement deal is in the works. 

To see one more photo that we can't decide is really bad or really good, keep reading.

Did 'Harry Potter' star Rupert Grint get some nose magic?

Rupert now RupertGri_Avik_707505_600

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" star Rupert Grint had a case of swine flu recently.

A Potteresque curse? Probably not. Just bad luck.

Anyway, it didn't stop him from attending the London premiere of the new installment of the Potter film franchise.

Is it just us or is Rupert starting to look really hot?  He's always been very cute. But gone is that awkward pug-nosed boy. In his place, a mature and adorably sexy young man.

But check out the photo of Rupert this week, left, and from 2002. Hey, you don't think Rupert's ever-so-slightly thinner nose tip has been slightly surgically refined?

Nyah, it's probably just magic ...

Your thoughts?

Bret Michaels' tour bus hit by a car on the Fourth of July. Seriously?


BretMicha_Kevin_16827570_600

Attacked by falling Tony Awards scenery, now a car crashes into Bret Michael's tour bus?

The "Rock of Love" star is having a tough month.

He was involved in an accident this weekend when a car hit his tour bus on a Canada highway.

According to a statement on Michaels' website, the Poison singer, 46, was en route to St. Paul, Minn., on July 4 after performing in Toronto when a car "lost control and slid into the side of Mr. Michaels' tour bus causing a five car pile-up on the roadway."

Thankfully there were no injuries, and Michaels and his crew were "released from the scene" after an investigation.

Michaels wasn't so lucky at the Tonys last month, where he suffered a fractured nose and split lip after he was slammed by a piece of scenery as it descended from the ceiling.

Though he was plenty angry with the show's producers for their response, he did not sue. "There's no lawsuit," he said at the time. "I'm taking the high road."

Be careful, no matter what road you take, Bret.

And let's hope these things don’t come in threes.

Who's on the Michael Jackson memorial's star-studded guest list?

MichaelJa_Gregg_343081_600 


Kobe Bryant, Jennifer Hudson, Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder and Brooke Shields are among the celebs said to be attending Tuesday's Michael Jackson memorial.

Organizers announced the participants this morning. Many are entertainment figures, but some, such as Martin Luther King III and the Rev. Al Sharpton, are from the political arena.

No word on whether Dr. Arnold Klein, Jackson's dermatologist, or his longtime friend Elizabeth Taylor, pictured above with the entertainer, will attend.

Hard to believe that Liz Taylor, with all her health problems and addictions, has outlived Michael Jackson.

Here, according to L.A. Now, is the full list so far:

Chris Brown dances to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' at Diddy's White Party

P. Diddy's infamous White Party, usually held in the Hamptons or in NYC, was held in L.A.  this year, probably because everyone who was anyone was already on the West Coast for Michael Jackson's funeral and memorial Tuesday.

Check out this insider video that captured Brown doing his finest "Thriller" moves. He was later seen making major moves on Rhianna's outspoken pal Kayne West's ex-girlfriend Amber Rose.

The flirty pair were even reportedly lip-locking on the dance floor. This even though he brought his rumored girlfriend, Teyana Taylor, and both sported matching red lightning bolt hair bits on the backs of their heads.

Yikes. Payback is a bee yatch.

The event raised awareness for Malaria No More.

Among the white-clad famous guests, cohosts Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Khloe Kardashian, Russell Brand, Tyrese, Shanna Moakler, Lindsay Lohan, Mariah Carey (in a David Meister gown) and Nick Cannon and Jonah Hill.

Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe was swarmed by paparazzi outside a Chinese restaurant Sunday.

According to TMZ,  when one papper got too close, she turned on him, shouting,  "Are you ready to have your butt kicked? Don't ... touch me!"

'Jennifer's Body' trailer sure to scare Megan Fox fans!

Megan Fox's new movie, "Jennifer's Body" looks like a good old-fashioned horror/comedy thrill ride right out of the "Scream" genre. Watch the exclusive first look!

And hey, who doesn't secretly suspect there's a demon inside Megan Fox? (We kid.)

We hear the rumored topless scene has been cut from the film but you still get to see her light her tongue on fire.

This movie will do nothing to quell the gnawing fear within teenage boys (and girls) that there really is something a little dangerous about Megan Fox.

Is she typecast as a demonic boy killer or what? Your thoughts?

Demi Moore's daughter Rumer Willis plays gay on '90210'

RumerWill_Georg_16849804_600

Rumer Willis will play a punky lesbian named Gia on the CW’s new “90210.”

Times have changed. There definitely weren't any lesbians on the original show. Were there?

Demi Moore and Bruce Willis’ eldest daughter’s character will appear in one episode. The series, set at the fictional West Beverly High School, returns to the air this fall.

The character will work at the school paper, the Blaze News, alongside Navid (Michael Steger), Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes) and Silver (Jessica Stroup).

This is not Rumer Willis' first one-shot. She's done one episode each on "Army Wives," "CSI: NY" and "Medium."

This is what's called "breaking into show biz," celebrity spawn style.

Megan Fox wants to 'act' after 'Transformers.' Michael Bay says grow up!

DirectorM_Jeffr_15838275_600

"Transformers" director Michael Bay is not pleased with Megan Fox, that ungrateful little buxom witch.

Apparently, Miss Megan has been mouthing off (like to Entertainment Weekly!) about how "Transformers" is just a lot of action and there's not much opportunity for any real acting.

She told EW for its cover story: "Unless you’re a seasoned veteran, working with Michael Bay is not about an acting experience." She then added that the movie "did give me a career and open all these doors for me. But I don’t want to blow smoke ... . People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting."

Which is really something coming from a girl who has done only three movies and in one of her next ones she plays a cheerleader who eats high school boys and drinks their blood.

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE WORST PHOTOS WE COULD FIND OF MEGAN FOX!

Here's what Bay told the WSJ about Megan's mouth:

"Well, that’s Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she’s 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, “OK Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it. But I 100% disagree with her. Nick Cage wasn’t a big actor when I cast him, nor was Ben Affleck before I put him in 'Armageddon.' Shia LaBeouf wasn’t a big movie star before he did 'Transformers' -- and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence from 'Bad Boys.' Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in 'Transformers.' I like to think that I’ve had some luck in building actors’ careers with my films."

This is not the first time they got into a verbal tussle. Click on to watch the fur fly at a recent press conference when Megan confesses that she was forced to work 16 hours a day instead of 12!!
