Changes Coming to Sonny with a Chance

While Demi Lovato focuses on her personal issues in rehab, producers behind her Disney Channel series have been forced to make changes of their own.

Those behind Sonny with a Chance will temporarily adjust the focus of the series while its star recovers, placing the spotlight on the program within the program, So Random!. The switch means production on season three will begin in January.

"[This] allows [Demi] the time she needs to get well, without distraction or pressure," a Disney Channel spokeswoman said. "Again, we extend our ongoing support to Demi and her family as she works to overcome personal issues."
There is no timetable for Lovato's return to singing or acting. Sources continue to debate the reasons behind her downfall, but THG simply wishes this young star a full, healthy recovery.

Jessica Simpson: Engaged to Eric Johnson!

Not to be outdone by Nick Lachey, Jessica Simpson is getting married again. Congrats to the alleged singer and former mediocre NFL player Eric Johnson!
We kid, of course. Truly, we are so happy for Jess, whose rep confirmed the news earlier today, saying: "Yes, we are excited to confirm they are engaged!"
The couple began dating in May, after being introduced by friends. Ever since, Eric and Jessica have been seen getting cozy across the U.S. and beyond.

The future Mr. and Mrs. Jessica Simpson, everyone!

Explaining how well their relationship was going, Simpson told People last month she is just so inspired by Eric Johnson: "This is just normal, thank God. He's very, very supportive. [I] couldn't ask for a better man in my life right now."
Asked if Johnson were the one, she replied: "I never go to that because I already went there, so, I'm not gonna jinx myself. He's the one for me right now! I'm very happy, I'm in a great place and if right now could last forever, I'd take it."
She already went there, of course, with Nick Lachey, who also just got engaged to Vanessa Minnillo this month. Guess she didn't want to be outdone!
Congratulations to the soon-to-be-spouses. We can't wait for the MTV reality series chronicling the lead-up to the wedding and their life as newlyweds.

Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt to Renew Vows

Less than two years after tying to knot and just half a year removed from faking their separation, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are renewing their vows.
Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?
The gruesome twosome's wedding, seen on the fifth season finale of The Hills, was portrayed on TV like a fairytale. But the couple now disa-vows all of it.

SPEIDI WEDDING 2.0: Hey, the last one was a whole 18 months ago.

Like this year's contrived divorce, which Speidi admits it concocted for a new reality show that never panned out, the emotions of the wedding were "fake."
Now the plastic pairing plans to renew their wedding vows and get a fresh start at married life. Only this time, it will be on their own publicity-stunting terms.
"It was a movie, it was a script and it just didn't feel right," Spencer Pratt tells Entertainment Tonight. "No one in that building wanted us to get married."
"It was a nightmare."
Heidi Montag adds, "We had just gone through so much crazy stuff personally, through our jobs and everything, so this feels like our first real marriage."
"For me it will be like our first restart. We deserve a second chance at our marriage and really having this moment and not being robbed of this."
Yes. They were totally "robbed."
"Since we had to do the first ceremony, I've been thinking about the second ceremony," Spencer says. "The first one was so fake and not real at all."
Tell us about it. But congratulations on the restart, we guess.

Why is Katrina and Saif not coming together onscreen again?

Bollywood babe Katrina Kaif and ‘chote nawab’ Saif Ali Khan made a nice couple in the 2008 blockbuster movie Race. This odd pairing was a hit with the audience and several filmmakers have tried to cast them together since then. There is a report that none of the filmmakers could manage to bring the powerful pair together again.
So, why did they fail to sign them in a film? Does it mean that the filmmakers are in dearth of good scripts? Probably the scripts could not impress both the stars or may be the role was not that impressive as was in Race.
However, the case may be something else too! It is a well-known fact that Katrina is the arch rival of Saif’s girlfriend Kareena Kapoor. So, is it Kareena, who is keeping her beau Saif away from her rival actress Katrina? If this is the case then Saif will be the biggest looser because Katrina is counted as one of the leading ladies in Bollywood now and she has handful of films with other leading heroes. She is young and can work with any lead stars in the industry now.
But the same cannot be said in case of Saif, who has already come a long way and is a father of two teenage kids. Even though he has proved his worth in the industry recently, he cannot be counted among the top stars at present. So, if he denies acting with Katrina at this point of time, he might lose some valuable and important projects, thus harming his acting career.
So, Bebo must grow up and rather help her beau to get some more films even if Katrina is her rival!

No Mallika Sherawat And Emraan Khan in ‘Murder’ Sequel

BollywoodWorld.com, The 2004 release from the Bhatt camp, Murder, had rocked the Bollywood box office collections, with innumerable votes for the Emraan Hashmi – Mallika Sherawat sizzling chemistry as the chief reason for the film being declared a hit. News is that a sequel is being planned to the 2004 release, but unfortunately neither Mallika Sherawat nor Emraan Hashmi will be a part of Murder 2. So guess who has made her way into the second innings of Murder? It is none other than the Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandes.
Though the producers have clearly admitted in a statement to the media that the former Miss Sri Lanka Universe was not their initial choice for the role, several other actresses in Bollywood declined the offer which finally fell into the kitty of Jacqueline Fernandes. The male lead has however not been finalized yet.
Jacqueline has not yet been able to carve a niche for herself in Bollywood and is keeping her hopes pinned on this upcoming release from the Bhatt camp. The director of the sequel to Murder has also been changed. Replacing Anurag Basu for be Mohit Suri for Murder 2. If reports are anything to go by, Bipasha Basu was a strong contender for the lead actress of the sequel. But things did not work out between the actress and director Mohit Suri. The upcoming film will be a test for Jacqueline Fernandes to showcase her sensual skills.

According to recent reports in a popular news channel, the lady has only two major hits in her career, namely Hum Dil Chuke Sanam, Guru and Dhoom 2.This is because the other popular films of hers did quite well but were not money churners at the box office!

Her radiance, ready to work under difficult conditions, willingness to work, all made her a favorite with the critics as well as the masses.
Ever since this beauty has stepped into tinsel town, she has gone from one milestone to another proving each time that she could only get better with time and innovate herself according to the requirements of the characters she portrayed on screen.
Aishwarya’s international projects like Pink Panther 2; Mistress of Spices to mention a couple of them gave her a great new platform to showcase her talent.
This lady from Mangalore has been a darling of the audience as much as she has been in demand by the top filmmakers in the country and is yet not going to hang her boots even three years after getting married!
Her just released flick Action Replayy may not have got great response from the audiences, but still it is being appreciated from International quarters.
Her forth coming flick Guzaarish has her portraying a character of an older woman and her look with simple state-of-the-art wardrobe.
Well flops and hits are a part and parcel of an actor’s life. It is the hard work and dedication that counts.
