Gwyneth Paltrow has been belting out tunes on the big screen and the small.
Paltrow makes a guest appearance on the hit TV show, Glee, where she plays a substitute teacher and sings in one of the group’s numbers. On a bigger stage, she sings some country tunes for her new movie with Tim McGraw, Country Strong. Gwyneth also packs on ten extra pounds for the movie! She attributes it to Tim’s mashed potatoes, she claims they are the best!
This isn’t the first time the actress has flexed her vocal talents onscreen. In 2000’s ‘Duets,’ directed by her late father Bruce Paltrow, she played a woman who tries her hand at karaoke, winning over the audience with her version of “Bette Davis Eyes.”

October 1st was a bad hair day, of sorts, for Jack Szablewski. The New Jersey 4-year-old was banned from Pre-kindergarten for having long hair.
When Jack was 16 months old, his grandfather died of lung cancer. His mother, Renee Szablewski, made the decision to grow Jack’s hair and donate it to cancer patients, in honor of her late father.
Jack began pre-K classes at St. Dominic, a parochial school in Brick, N.J. Renee says the school was aware of the hair-growing project and they were on board, as long as Jack’s hair was cut by the time he entered Kindergarten (September 2011). Which is why she was surprised when the school updated its handbook to include pre-K students in the policy mandating that boys keep their hair short and neat. School officials gave Renee until October 1st to bring Jack’s hair into compliance.
Surprised as she was, Renee was all set to comply. On September 30th, she scheduled the haircut at a salon in Hoboken, N.J. and even invited a television crew to film the event. Unfortunately, a storm rolled into the East Coast and those plans were stalled.
Jack showed up to school the next day, October 1st, hair still un-cut. The teachers wouldn’t even let him through the doors.
“This child has done nothing wrong,” a school supervisor said in a statement. “This matter is between the parent and the school, and the partnership between the two entities that is critical to a healthy and successful educational experience at St. Dominic School.”
Jack is still not enrolled in school and his mother fears he won’t be accepted to any catholic school in their area, even once the hair is cut. She maintains that this is all about the donation of Jack’s hair, not defiance of the catholic church.

In her latest music video, Disney’s little lucrative princess sheds her innocence and puts on a new skin…and not much else. Who Owns My Heart has internet bloggers all abuzz over the lack of talent and the lack of clothing.
In the video, Miley is scantily clad, rolling around on a bed, bumping and grinding in a smokey club and reclining in the back of a limo. This is her attempt to break free from Hannah Montana, a coming of age for her. Problem is, this sexually charged video paired with pointless lyrics, is an open invitation for criticism. Sure, there are tons of videos that make it to MTV that are far worse than Miley’s kiddie porn, but those artists didn’t get their start as pre-teen role models.
This is just another kink in a long chain of bad decisions for Miley Cyrus. First it was the tasteless Vanity Fair photo shoot, which featured a 15-year-old Miley in nothing more than a satin bed sheet. Then, several racy candid shots show up on the internet. Where is her agent? A publicist? Hell, where are her parents?

October is Bullying Prevention month. To raise awareness, stars are stepping up to confess their high school tales of horror. Bullying affects nearly 77% of children, even superstars like Eva Mendes, Jessica Simpson and Jessica Alba.
“People would throw toilet paper at my house or throw eggs at my door,” Jessica Simpson reveals.
Jessica Alba told the U.K.’s Daily Mirror, “I was bullied so badly my dad used to have to walk me into school so I didn’t get attacked.”
Eva Mendes says she put an end to bullying in her life. “When I finally stood up to my bully, that’s when things changed for me,” she told PEOPLE Magazine.
All three of these vixens have left their former bullies kicking themselves for ever kicking them.

The gorgeous Sofia Vergara claims to have made good on a promise to run nude down Sunset Boulevard after she and her Modern Family co-stars accepted the Emmy for best hit comedy. No one saw the streaker, but fellow Modern Family star, Julie Bowen told People Magazine, “When we went back to the press room, she had made a left turn and we all made a right turn, so for about twenty minutes, she was missing.” When she returned, Bowen says Vergara replied that she “went to run nude down Sunset Boulevard. No one was there. So I did it. It’s over…no one said I had to do it at a certain time.”
The stunning gold gown she apparently stripped out of was a ravishing floor-length dress by Carolina Herrera. She easily took home the best dressed award as well as the Emmy.

Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail, followed by an additional 90 days of rehabilitation for violating the terms of her parole. Lohan failed to regularly attend weekly alcohol-education classes from her 2007 DUI case.
“As far as I knew, I was in compliance with my programs. … I wasn’t trying to get special treatment,” said a tearful Lohan. “I have to provide for myself. I have to work. Having said that, I did everything to balance my jobs and showing up. … I’m not taking this as a joke; it’s my life and career. … I take responsibility for my actions. I’ve tried to do the best I can. It’s been such a long haul. I don’t want you to think I don’t respect you and your terms.”
Lohan’s self-proclaimed sincerity was questioned after a close-up of her hands revealed some obscene nail art. Photos taken by the Associated Press show her middle finger with F–U scrawled across it.
Experts are weighing in and most say that the judge’s ruling is too harsh. Lohan is only expected to served one-fourth of her sentence due to jail over-crowding. She will only be there about 25 days. I say the punishment is perfect…a few weeks in jail may do her some good. I am sure she looks great in stripes.
