Ellen DeGeneres's And Brad Pitt To Make It Right New Orleans

Make It Right has announced that Ellen DeGeneres will join Brad Pitt as host of “A Night to Make It Right”, a charity gala to raise vital funds to complete Make It Right’s goal to build 150 environmentally friendly homes in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward.

The gala will be held at Hyatt Regency New Orleans on Saturday, March 10, 2012 and also celebrates the hotel’s grand re-opening. Performers will include Rihanna, Sheryl Crow, Seal and The Neville Brothers, and the host committee includes Sean Penn, Kevin Spacey, Spike Lee, Blake Lively, Djimon Hounsou, Josh Brolin, Bennett Miller and Chris Paul.

“I’m so happy I can be a part of this incredible foundation,” said Ellen DeGeneres, a long-time supporter of Make It Right. “I’m from New Orleans, I love New Orleans and I love that Make It Right continues to help the people there rebuild their beautiful city. Brad Pitt is amazing – not only for what he started, but also because, who else can make a hard hat look like a jaunty fall fashion accessory?”

DeGeneres grew up in New Orleans and has been a tireless advocate for the city’s rebuilding. She and her fans have raised more than $1.6 million for Make It Right and their incredible generosity has helped more than 300 people return home so far.

“After Hurricane Katrina, many people said the Lower 9th Ward could not be rebuilt, but the spirit of the Lower 9th and its residents is vibrant and resilient. Today, the neighborhood is growing and alive with new homes, playgrounds, gardens and block parties,” said Brad Pitt, founder, Make It Right. “With the help of generous supporters like my friend Ellen DeGeneres and Hyatt, Make It Right will fulfill our goal of building 150 sustainable homes for those in this community who lost everything in the storm.”

Led by actor Brad Pitt, founder of Make It Right and Honorary Chairman of the gala, and New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, who will serve as Honorary Co-Chair, the evening will bring together a guest list of major entertainers, political leaders, corporate donors and philanthropists. The festivities will begin with a VIP cocktail reception for major sponsors and dignitaries. The dinner menu will celebrate the finest culinary traditions of New Orleans. The evening will culminate with a grand after-party featuring musical performances by locally-celebrated and internationally-renowned musicians. Corporate sponsorships and individual table sales for the event are available through Make It Right. Hyatt Regency New Orleans’ generous sponsorship of the charity gala will allow all proceeds from corporate sponsors and ticket sales to go directly to building Make It Right homes.

  "Through our partnership with Make It Right, we continue to solidify our commitment to the city of New Orleans," noted Michael Smith, General Manager, Hyatt Regency New Orleans. “We are proud to toast our milestone re-opening by hosting one of the most noteworthy events to date in the effort to raise funds for the rebuilding of Lower 9th Ward.”

  The evening is planned to be one of the most ambitious single night fundraising events in New Orleans’ history. Earlier this year, Hyatt Regency New Orleans kicked off fundraising efforts for this campaign by donating $300,000 to help build two Make It Right homes in the Lower 9th Ward, the neighborhood hit hardest by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

  For more than 30 years, Hyatt Regency New Orleans, centrally located downtown adjacent to the Louisiana Superdome, has been one of the most important and largest hotels in New Orleans. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Hyatt Regency New Orleans played a vital role as it served as the center of operations for the city’s leadership and recovery efforts. Hyatt Corporation and hotel ownership made a commitment to restore Hyatt Regency New Orleans to its stature as one of the city’s grandest hotels, and following a $275 million redesign and revitalization, the hotel will re-open on October 19, 2011.  

Make It Right and some of the world’s most renowned architects have designed and constructed 75 homes in the Lower 9th Ward, the neighborhood hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina. Make It Right’s is establishing new standards for affordable, energy-efficient, single-family homes and the neighborhood is now recognized as the “the largest and greenest community of single-family homes in the world” by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Michael Jackson Honored By His Kids, Justin Bieber at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre

2012-01-27T11:27:00.001-08:00

After a decades-long career filled with massive hits like "Bad" and "Thriller," you might think the late Michael Jackson had earned every award out there. Surprisingly, though, the King of Pop was only honored in front of Hollywood's famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Thursday during a ceremony featuring his three children. Prince, 14, Paris, 13, and Blanket, 9, used their father's signature shoes and glittery glove to leave his hand and foot prints in the famous sidewalk, alongside those of Marilyn Monroe, Fred Astaire, and many more.

And despite Michael's many other honors, son Prince noted that the star would have found this one meaningful.

"My dad won the lifetime achievement award. It was an award he strived and worked the hardest to get but for me, and I think for him as well, this right here is his lifetime achievement award," Prince revealed. "This is what he strived to get and this is what we are giving him now today."

Cast members from the new Cirque du Soleil show featuring Michael's music, "The Immortal World Tour," were on hand, as were MJ's mother Katherine, actor Chris Tucker, legendary musician Smokey Robinson, and teen dream Justin Bieber. After being introduced by Paris, the Biebs, who's always been a big fan of the "Smooth Criminal" singer, even said a few words about his idol.

"I don't usually get nervous, but I'm kind of a little nervous right now," Justin told the crowd. "Michael meant so much to me, I know that he meant a lot to you guys as well. He was more than entertainer. He was an inspiration. He was kind, gentle ... he was very charitable. People are going to remember him for his dancing and singing, but people have to remember him for being the man that he was. Everything I do ... I look at Michael, I want to be as good as he was."

Justin also noted that he often sang "Rockin' Robin" in the mirror when he was "really little," and performed a verse a cappella for the crowd. Do you think Michael would approve of his rendition?

Looks like we'll never know. Unfortunately, as Justin revealed to "Access Hollywood," the two never crossed paths since the Canadian crooner was just beginning his career when Michael died in June 2009.

"I basically released my first single the week he passed, so it was really unfortunate," Justin said. "So I feel like, it's just really sad. That was one person I really wanted to meet."

Katy Perry To Host Charity Event In Las Vegas

Katy Perry will help host a special charity event in Las Vegas on Friday.

The Butter Group, New York City’s preeminent lifestyle and hospitality company, has announced that J. Molinari Jewelry Designers, Markus Molinari and Jason Arasheben, along with Katy Perry, will host a special GiveLove charity event on Friday, January 27, 2012, part of the weekend-long Grand Opening celebration of 1 OAK Las Vegas at The Mirage Hotel & Casino.

GiveLove co-founders, Patricia Arquette and Rosetta Getty, will attend the celebration, featuring a special live performance by Jordanian-American recording artist, Ferras, and will accept a donation on behalf of the charity that develops temporary housing solutions and improved sanitation systems in Haiti.

The Butter Group’s Scott Sartiano and Richie Akiva, along with 1 OAK Las Vegas managing partner Eli Pacino, teamed up with Las Vegas’ leading hospitality, development and management innovators, The Light Group, to debut the Las Vegas outpost of their Manhattan hot spot, 1 OAK.

New Year’s Eve marked 1 OAK’s inauguration and featured a start-studded celebration hosted by Fergie and a historic, three-hour DJ set by YEEZYWORLDPEACE, a.k.a. Kanye West. Since opening, 1 OAK Las Vegas has hosted some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Josh Duhamel, Jessica Alba, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Topher Grace, Jason Ritter and Amber Rose, among others, as well as a slew of special live, many impromptu, performances by the world’s top DJ’s and musicians, including Adam Levine, Pitbull, Laidback Luke, Cobra Starship, Jason Derulo, Big Sean, Kid Cudi, Wiz Khalifa and Bruno Mars.

Justin Bieber Fans Prepping Birthday-Themed Charity Single

Justin Bieber's fans are working to give back the same way the pop star readily does. Several of Bieber's biggest fan groups, as well as the non-profit Together We Rise and Brush Buddies (the makers behind the singing Bieber toothbrush), have all teamed up to work on a charity single.

"They're all working on pieces of the video and the lyrics. Right now, they're putting together videos and 'thank you's'. We're working on the back end," Danny Mendoza, President/CEO of Together We Rise, which focuses on helping foster children in the U.S, told MTV News about the project.

"It started with a young lady named Vivian, she runs the Justin Crew fan club and she approached it on Twitter. She approached it and she had a lot of fan support," he continued. "She took it upon herself to take a leadership role, and then she contacted me because she needed some guidance. We just decided we'll help you do it. Justin Bieber had tweeted about us in the past and helped us get some recognition, so it was a 'thank you' to him as well."

Proceeds from the song will go toward Bieber's Believe charity drive. It will drop in March, just in time for his 18th birthday on March 1. "I'm almost 100 percent positive that they know," he explained of Bieber's involvement in the project. "Justin Bieber inspired a lot of young people to give back. It's a 'thank you' for helping us and we want to give back in your honor."

Bieber is certainly not a newbie to the world of charity. Mendoza said that having a pop star like Bieber being so socially conscious has been incredible for the charities he helps bring attention to.

"He definitely has the right people around him ... They made it a priority that giving back is more. I think his relationship with [his manager Scooter Braun's brother] Adam Braun and his charity [Pencils of Promise], he was able to see hands on a lot of it.

After Bieber tweeted this week about the Trillium Gift of Life Network, theOntario-based organ donation network has seen registrations skyrocket to more than 1,200 people, four times the amount the network usually receives.

Kellie Pickler's Love For Cats!

In honor of Cat Appreciation Month this February, the makers of Fresh Step litter have teamed up with cat-loving country star Kellie Pickler to ask cat lovers to flood Facebook with images of them wearing their favorite cat-centric clothing.

Don’t have any kitty couture? No problem. The Fresh Step brand has partnered with Pickler and fashion designer Geren Ford to design a must-have limited-edition cat sweater. The sweater will be available for purchase online at www.aspcaonlinestore.com, with 100 percent of proceeds benefiting the ASPCA (The American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). Cat lovers who aren’t in the market for a new sweater can get in on the fun, too. The Fresh Step Facebook page houses an online application that lets people digitally place the Pickler sweater onto a photo of themselves on Facebook. The Fresh Step litter team will donate $1 to the ASPCA for every photo posted, through March 15, 2012, up to $100,000.

“It’s time for cat lovers to truly display their cat pride,” said Pickler, whose new album “100 Proof” launches this week. “I collaborated with fellow cat lover and designer Geren Ford to create a sweater that we hope any cat parent would wear to show their kitty pride and that all animal lovers can wear in support of the ASPCA.”

The oatmeal heather-colored tunic “Kitty Crooner” sweater with green sequin embellishments celebrates Pickler’s country roots and gives wearers a modern vintage look. The sweater will be available for purchase at www.aspcaonlinestore.com for $35 while supplies last.

Selena Gomez hit the stage for UNICEF in Los Angeles, with Justin Bieber, David Beckham and Ashley Tisdale on hand for support.

Gomez and her band performed at her second annual charity concert at the House Of Blues to benefit the U.S. Fund for UNICEF’s work providing lifesaving nutrition, clean water, medicine, safety and education to children worldwide.

“Thank You to all who came out to the show last night at House of Blues on Sunset,” she wrote on Facebook. "That is one of the shows I look forward to the most and cannot wait for next year’s show.

“I don’t have an exact number but together we all raised over 200,000 dollars to benefit Unicef. We’re helping to save the lives of children all over the world.”

Selena was appointed a UNICEF Ambassador in 2009 and has traveled to Ghana and Chile to witness UNICEF’s work first-hand in the field. She has since supported many of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF’s events, projects and campaigns, including the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF, the UNICEF TAP Project and Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. Selena’s first charity concert to benefit UNICEF was held in celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF in October 2010.

“Giving back has always been important to me,” said Selena. “This concert allows me to connect with my fans in person which is one of the best parts of my job and to raise money for important causes at the same time I can’t think of anything I would enjoy doing more.”

Hicks: Jim Carrey's daughter impresses on 'American Idol

Jim Carrey's daughter is strangely normal.

The daughter of the funnyman sang at "American Idol's" San Diego auditions, which aired Sunday night. "I'm a huge ham," she said. "I always like to be onstage"

Jane Carrey, 24, is a single mother and a "waitress, on and off." The audition took place on the most natural place in the world for someone to become famous by singing -- on an aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Midway.

"He's not the most extravagant celebrity, so it's been fairly normal. Fairly," said Carrey of her life with her father.

Judge Jennifer Lopez realized she'd met Jane when she and her father were on "In Living Color" in the early '90s.

"I used to work with Jim. Oh, my God! I remember you when you were little!" Lopez said. "Do you remember me? I was one of the fly girls."

No, no one remembers Jennifer Lopez. She's been so quiet and under the radar since then.

Carrey sang "Something to Talk About" by Bonnie Raitt. "I think you need to think more about performing," Lopez said about the audition. "You close your eyes a lot, which is great to get the feeling of it, but you still have to connect with your audience."

"Good melody. You've got to work on the volume," Steven Tyler told Carrey.

We'll get to see more of Carrey because -- surprise, surprise -- the judges decided to send her on to the next round in Hollywood.

"Tell pop we say what's up," said Randy Jackson as Carrey exited theroom. "Tell him to holler at the Dawg."

Can anyone who was once in Journey really get away with talking like that?

After the audition, Carrey of course called her dad on speakerphone.

"She's amazing," Jim said. "I can't wait for the world to understand what she has."

LTTS Interview: Young Star Talks Charity

Nine-year-old actor Matthew Wayne may be young, but he has a big heart. The up-and-coming star recently talked to Look To The Stars’ Misty Schwartz about his charity work.

Why did you choose to support the charities you work with?

I support City of Hope and CHOC for cancer research because cancer is still the number one cause of death and I’ve lost several family members to cancer. For the kids with cancer, I want to do all I can to help them – to help the doctors find a cure. It is so unfair for kids, and I never want to take for granted my health. Because of my ability to work and be able to help out, I will always do what I can.

I also support anti-bullying because I’ve been a victim of bullying myself.

I support the SPCA, to benefit prevention of cruelty to animals because I am an animal lover. I do not want to see any defenseless animals abused and mistreated in any way.

How long have you supported them?

I have supported these charities for as long as I’ve been able to, due to my successes as a working actor, which is for about a year and a half now, financially. As for supporting them with my presence and moral support, for as long as I can remember going to events and benefits with my parents – I’ll be 10 soon, so I guess for about 8 years??

How or why did you choose to get involved?

My parents and I talked about which charities I would want to support, with donations and my time and involvement with causes, if I ever had the opportunity to do so. They told me about how cancer took the lives of my grandmother, my aunt, my great grandfather and several uncles, not to mention my own experience seeing kids on TV who are suffering from cancer, which made me sad and made me want to help them somehow. So supporting cancer research and children’s cancer/hospital facilities was an easy decision.

As for the bullying, that was because of my own experiences of being bullied.

The animal charities are simple…. as I said before, I LOVE ANIMALS!

Can you talk a little bit about some of the other causes you support?

I could, but you’d need a week or so to sit down and hear me out!! I love to do whatever I can to help people less fortunate than myself and my family. We may not have it all, but we have more than a lot of people and I think everyone should help everyone. Wouldn’t that make this world a better place to live? So, I do what I can because it makes me feel good! I am involved in helping the homeless by going to events and walks to raise money for housing, or food, or medicine – all kinds of things for families and people who need help. I donate toys to things like Toys for Tots at Christmas to name but one of many gift raising charities around the holidays. There’s so much more that can be done too, but I am only one person. EVERYONE needs to get involved!

And how important do you think it is for celebrities to get involved in charity?

I think it is very important to ‘give back’. Celebrities are very visible to the public and therefore can set an example and be good role models for others to follow suit and join in on these causes. It is extremely important to me to set that example.

'Hunger Games' Stars Agree: Josh Hutcherson Is The Most Like His Character

If Josh Hutcherson's portrayal of Peeta—the District 12 tribute whose affections for baked goods are surpassed only by his love for fellow Games player Katniss Everdeen—seems perfectly effortless, there's a reason. According to the stars of the March 23 release, Josh is the cast member most like the character he portrays.

"Josh. Josh is Peeta," Jennifer confirmed, when posed the fan question from@RealOrNotReal. "He's charming, he's nice, he's very real and down to earth, he's not fake in any way. He just can charm anyone and anything."

And, in a mature bit of self-awareness, Josh himself copped to the uncanny likeness.

"Oh, God, this is going to sound so stupid: Me, because I have literally never read a character, book or script or anything that has a character in it I connected with more than Peeta," he said. "I feel like so much of who I am is Peeta. It drove me crazy during the audition process, because I was like, "This is so me, it hurts. If I don't get this, I'm not even good at being me, so now what am I? I have no idea what to do next."

Gosh, glad he landed that role!

Victoria Justice Named As Donatemydress.org Spokesperson

Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice is the official celebrity spokesperson for the 2012 DonateMyDress.org (DMD) campaign.

This prom season, Donate My Dress also partners with Always, the leader in feminine protection, for its annual Purple Dress Awards, which recognize the most outstanding chapters in the DonateMyDress.org network.

“Girls who cannot afford to buy new dresses often have to make the hard choice between wearing dresses they don’t feel good in or skipping prom altogether”

The DMD campaign is designed to encourage girls around the country to donate their prom and special occasion dresses to girls in need. Later this year, Victoria Justice will donate one of her own dresses to a deserving girl.

“I’m really excited to be a part of the DMD organization. Prom can be really expensive; this program is an easy way for girls everywhere to get involved and help other girls in need. In addition to serving as DMD’s 2012 spokeswoman, I’m excited to donate a dress for the first time this year too. I’ll be giving the Jill Stuart dress that I wore to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards to help someone have a night to remember.”

In support of the Purple Dress Awards, Always will donate $1 for every girl who visits the Always Facebook page and chooses her favorite prom dress style. Once 25,000 girls choose their dress styles, Always will donate $25,000 so that five deserving DonateMyDress.org chapters across the United States receive $5,000 each through the organization’s Purple Dress Awards.

“Girls who cannot afford to buy new dresses often have to make the hard choice between wearing dresses they don’t feel good in or skipping prom altogether,” says Lucy Maher, executive director, network programming of Hearst Digital Media. “DMD is committed to helping girls, and, through this partnership with Always, it takes just choosing a dress on Facebook for girls – and their moms, aunts, sisters, friends – to help make others’ prom dreams come true.”

To get involved, visit the Always Facebook page, choose a favorite prom dress style and Always will donate $1 to DonateMyDress.org. The Purple Dress Award winners can use this financial support to help offset the operational and programming expenses of their organization – which may include everything from dry cleaning and mending dresses, to empowerment workshops and space for dress drives.

“Prom is a special event in a teen’s girl life and an experience that no girl should miss because she doesn’t have a dress,” says Sarah Innes, Always Marketing Director. “Always is committed to helping girls feel confident, especially on prom night. By supporting DonateMyDress.org, we’re able to help girls realize their prom dreams and encourage girls to help others feel their best this prom season.”

For more information and to learn how to donate previously worn dresses to local chapters, please visit DonateMyDress.org.

DonateMyDress.org is the first national campaign designed to encourage girls around the country to donate their prom and special occasion dresses to girls who cannot afford to finance the costly experience of going to their prom, Sweet 16, Quinceañera or formal on their own. The site features a directory of more than 100 local dress drive organizations across the U.S. enabling girls to easily find out where in their local markets they can donate a dress or receive one. In addition, DonateMyDress.org features information on upcoming local events, a photo gallery of real girls donating and receiving dresses, as well as links to content on prom and quinceañera planning, hair and makeup tips, and other worthy causes. A number of young celebrities have been involved with DonateMyDress.org, includingAshley Greene, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Nikki Blonsky and Brittany Snow, all of whom have donated their own dresses to the cause.

Kim Kardashian Blogs On Haitian Earthquake Annivarsary

Kim Kardashian marked the second anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti on January 12 by blogging her support for those still struggling to recover, and the many people working to help those in need.

“It is so hard for us to imagining waking up one day to find everything we own destroyed, everything we know turned upside down, our loved ones taken away in the blink of an eye,” she blogged. "But this was the reality for thousands of Haitian people, who had little time to grieve their losses and bravely started rebuilding their world.

“In December Maria Bello invited my mom and I out to Haiti to meet the amazing people who have made so much progress since the earthquake. I was amazed and inspired by how upbeat and strong the women I met were, despite everything they had been through. They took it upon themselves to start re-growing their economy and helping others do the same, and I have so much admiration for these women.

“But even though they have come so far, there is still a long way to go. Half a million people are still homeless, living in temporary camps, and I think it’s important that we keep spreading awareness and raising funds for the continued rebuilding of Haiti. It’s easy to throw the newspaper away or click away from this blog post and forget, but please let’s all spare a thought for the people of Haiti today and help in any way we can.

“Thank you to We Advance and all of the organizations who work so hard to help rebuild Haiti. I was touched by the incredible people I met in Haiti, and thank them all for their warmth and hospitality and I pray for their continued strength and growth. Xo

Meet Madonna And Help Sean Penn's Charity In Haiti

Since her rise to super celebrity status, Madonna has auctioned everything from her gold-embellished tassled bustier to autographed Chanel boots to penned love letters. Now, the pop queen and living legend is putting herself on the online auction block for the first time ever to raise funds for a cause close to her heart.

Madonna has partnered with leading charity auction website Charitybuzz.com to offer the chance for one lucky winning bidder and a friend to meet her at the January 23rd premiere and afterparty for her newest film W.E. in New York City.

The experience, valued at $25,000, will raise funds for J/P Haitian Relief Organization (J/P HRO), a nonprofit founded by Madonna’s ex-husband Sean Penn to rebuild the infrustructure destroyed by the earthquake and combat the poverty that the majority of Haitians are facing.

Bidding is open through January 19th here.

W.E. is a romantic drama directed by Madonna and stars Abbie Cornish, Oscar Isaac, Richard Coyle, James D’Arcy and Andrea Riseborough. The story focuses on the affair between King Edward VIII and American divorcée Wallis Simpson and a contemporary romance between a married woman and a Russian security guard.

Charitybuzz gives bidders exclusive opportunities to make a difference and live their dreams through online charity auctions with celebrities and luxury brands

Join Our Golden Globes 2012 Live Blog!

The Golden Globes are tonight, and it's not just the Gervais gags that we're tuning in for. We also want to see which movies are honored at one the film industry's biggest nights of the year, of course! Will "The Artist" continue its not-so-silent domination of the awards season circuit? With two nominations to his name, can Ryan Gosling walk away with a Globe this year? We'll find out the answers to those questions and more before the night's over, so tune into our Golden Globes live blog to share in on what will surely be one of the most exciting Hollywood events of 2012!

8:24 p.m. Kate Winslet, Award Magnet, wins Best TV Movie / Miniseries actress for "Mildred Pierce." Well earned, as always.

8:21 p.m. "Downton Abbey" wins Globe for Best TV Movie / Miniseries. Good timing — I just started watching the show today! (Bates is the best.)

8:19 p.m. Rob Lowe + Julianne Moore - Functional Teleprompter = AWKWARD.

8:14 p.m. Doctor Ellie Sattler wins Best Actress TV - Comedy or Musical! (Yes, I will only be referring to actors by the names of their best characters. (That's probably not totally true but gosh darn it I am going to try.))

8:10 p.m. Best Supporting Actor goes to Georg Von Trapp! The hills are alive at the Globes!

8:09 p.m. Gerard Butler, comedy... may not be your strong suit.

8:07 p.m. Ricky gets Johnny Depp to admit he hasn't seen "The Tourist" yet. As far as I'm concerned, mission = accomplished.

8:05 p.m. Ricky might be onto something: Helen Mirren in a "Bridesmaids" sequel would be awesome.

8:02 p.m. "When the man who says yes to 'Norbit' says no to you..." Never too early for Oscars digs.

8:01 p.m. "So, where was I?" Between that and a glass of who-knows-what in hand, looks like Ricky came prepared this year.

8:00 p.m. Show time!

7:55 p.m. Our red carpet live blog is about to wrap up, and you can head over to Hollywood Crush for all the highlights. My favorite observation from MTV's own Kara Warner: "Haywire" costars Antonio Banderas and Michael Fassbender apparently enjoyed a nice bromantic embrace on the carpet. Would've loved to see that!

7:53 p.m. Just a few minutes until show time. Place your bets now for who you think Gervais' first victim will be!

'Twilight' saga may continue after fifth film, Lions Gate CEO says

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2" may not be the end of Bella, Edward and Jacob's on-screen journey, according to the head of the franchise's new Hollywood home.

The chief executive of Lions Gate Entertainment, which on Friday acquired "Twilight" film studio Summit Entertainment for $412.5 million, said he believes the film franchise will continue to have value to his company,even after the Nov. 16 release of the fifth movie completes the adaptation of author Stephenie Meyer's four books.

"I'm anticipating 'Breaking Dawn Part 2' being $700 million-plus in worldwide box office," said Jon Feltheimer, predicting the next film would slightly outdo the $697 million global take of "Breaking Dawn Part 1."

Asked whether the franchise would continue in some form for Lions Gate, he added, "It's hard for me to imagine a movie that does $700 million-plus doesn't have ongoing value. It's an amazing franchise that they have done a great job of maintaining with absolutely no deterioration. So the simple answer is 'Boy I hope so.'"

One person close to the acquisition deal but not authorized to speak publicly suggested that because Lions Gate, unlike Summit, has a television production unit, it could adapt "Twilight" for the small screen.

Asked whether there was a possibility of bringing "Twilight" to television, Feltheimer answered, "I would certainly hope so."

Eddie Van Halen Donates Guitars To Schools In LA!

Rock legend Eddie Van Halen has teamed up with the Mr Holland's Opus Foundation to donate 75 of his personal electric guitars to public schools in LA.

“Music is the universal language,” said the rocker. “It has the ability to transcend and convey every human emotion that exists without saying a word. Music kept me off the streets and out of trouble and gave me something that was mine that no one could take away from me.”

“Music education and families are dealing with the economic times, and I wanted to help them. If I can help a kid discover a liking, or even a passion for music in their life, then that’s a wonderful thing. Music has provided a good life for me and hopefully it can help make life better for others with this donation.”

The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation was inspired by the acclaimed motion picture Mr. Holland’s Opus, the story of the profound effect a dedicated music teacher had on generations of students. The film’s composer, Michael Kamen, started the foundation in 1996 as his commitment to the future of music education.

The foundation donates both new and refurbished instruments to school and after-school music programs that lack the resources to keep up with equipment loss due to attrition, depreciation and wear over time, and to accommodate students on waiting lists or who have to share instruments. An infusion of instruments enables more students to participate and to experience a quality music education. It is vital that efforts are made to give youngsters every tool available within the small window of time when they can make the most of their education, and experience the benefits inherent in learning to play music.

New Year, New Looks For Justin Bieber And Selena Gomez

2012-01-13T11:27:00.000-08:00

So, it seems that both Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have decided it's time for a change.

Oh, don't worry--the supercouple is still together! The two teens just decided to switch up theirhairstyles, that's all...sorry if I upset anyone!

Justin Bieber

Bieber showed off a return to the original look he made famous--eye-skimming, swooping bangs--on Wednesday, during a visit to the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. While the change may seem subtle, it's a definite difference from the shorter look he's been sporting in past months.

Gomez, on the other hand, threw caution to the wind and went for a more dramatic transformation. While her beau was busy in Vegas, she dropped by her favorite salon in West Hollywood and added striking blue and purple extensions to her hair.

From Selena Gomez's Twitter

"Change is good," Gomez tweeted on Wednesday, along with a pic of her brightly colored locks. "LOVE." Meanwhile, Bieber had no public comment on either his own or his gal pal's new styles.

Well, now, the verdict is up to you: Do you like Justin and Selena's new hairdos? Be sure to let us know!

Miley Cyrus: 10 Ways To Get Ur Good On For MLK Day

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was an activist and a leader in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s. On January 16th, MLK Day of Service 2012, millions will come together to honor Dr. King’s legacy through service. Miley Cyrus and her friends at Youth Service America have 10 ways to Get Ur Good On for MLK Day, and throughout January. Get started!

Create a service-focused New Year’s resolution to honor Dr. King’s commitment to serving others. Volunteer at least once a month, sponsor a kid in a developing nation, host a coat drive, or tutor at an after school program. Write the resolution on a piece of paper and post it somewhere visible to see everyday.

Dr. King often spoke about practicing peace, love, and nonviolence as a means to build a “beloved community.” Share a message of peace in an anti-bullying PSA or music video. Need examples? Amy Poehler, Jessie J, Shailene Woodley, and Bella Throne have all shared great messages.

Dr. King’s messages of equality and justice continue to impact our lives today; it’s your turn to share your impact on communities. Enter the Huffington Post TEEN IMPACT contest. Had an amazing volunteering experience? Made a real difference in a disadvantaged community? Share what you’ve done to possibly win $1,000 donated to a charity of your choice, plus a trip to New York for a special screening of Drew Barrymore’s new film Big Miracle.

Help the 2011 MLK Day Ambassadors of Service Monique Coleman, Chris Draft, Tatyana Ali, Seth Goldman, and others encourage people to serve on MLK Day. Post on Facebook, tweet, share on Tumblr, or create a video on YouTube explaining the importance of serving others.

Dr. King focused on improving lives of people living in poverty. Participate in the Souper Bowl of Caring and collect money or canned goods for deserving people until February 5th.

Read MLK’s I Have a Dream speech. Create a YouTube video or write a blog post sharing a dream for your community.

Plan a service project and invite friends to join! Bake cookies for a senior citizens home, organize a book drive, or pick up trash in your neighborhood. No project is too small! Find project planning help on the MLK Day of Service website. Share pictures and videos on GetUrGoodOn.org like member Laura did.

Aspiring news reporter? Interview community members (parents, teachers, neighbors) to learn more about MLK. How did he impact their lives? Write a blog post or film the interview and share on GetUrGoodOn.org.

To honor Dr. King’s work for equality; learn about the Hate Crimes Prevention Act and what your state is doing to enforce it. Visit the Human Rights Campaign website for information about advocating for stricter enforcement of the act in your state.

Upload a favorite picture of a peace sign to Facebook or Twitter and include a quote or lyric about peace.

People's Choice Awards Preview

The People's Choice Awards may be one of the more democratic awards shows of the season. After all, it's fans, and not a faceless "academy" of industry professionals, that decide who'll take home the big PCA prizes in categories like Favorite Tour Headliner, Favorite TV Celebreality Star and Favorite Movie Star Under 25. And it's all happening tonight at 9 p.m. ET on CBS.

Host Kaley Cuoco, herself a nominee for her turn on "The Big Bang Theory," promised a fun-filled evening, telling Ryan Seacrest on his radio show, "I'm really looking forward to it and there are a lot of great musical numbers and it's going to be fun." She also joked with the "American Idol" host that she plans on "changing 47 times, 47 dresses. I'm changing every five minutes. I want to go down in the Hall of Fame with that. So we'll see how many times I can possibly change."

So who can fans expect to see on the red carpet? Only some of the biggest A-listers from the worlds of film, TV and music, including "Twilight" stars Robert Pattinson and Ashley Greene; "Hunger Games" leads Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson; as well as Emma Stone, Vanessa Hudgens, Chloe Grace Moretz, Maroon 5's Adam Levine, Julianne Hough and "Glee" stars Lea Michele and Cory Monteith.

Also expected to attend are Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Tom Felton of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," which leads all nominees this year. "Potter" heads into the awards with nine nominations for Favorite Movie and Favorite Action Movie, Favorite Actor (Radcliffe), Favorite Movie Star Under 25 (Radcliffe, Grint, Felton and Watson), Favorite Ensemble Movie Cast and Favorite Book Adaptation.

One notable absence is nominee Katy Perry, who was set to make her first public appearance following the announcement of her divorce from Russell Brand at tonight's live event but canceled earlier this week. She apologized to her fans on Twitter, writing, "Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the People's Choice Awards. I want to thank u all for voting for me, fingers crossed! #KATYCATS."

Perry is nominated for a whopping seven People's Choice Awards, including Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Song of the Year ("E.T."), Favorite Pop Artist, Favorite Animated Movie Voice ("The Smurfs") and Favorite Music Video for "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)." PCA executive producer Mark Burnett clearly sympathizes with Perry's decision not to attend, telling E! News that her choice was completely "understandable."

The show will include musical performances from Faith Hill and Demi Lovato as well as comedy sketches featuring Jimmy Fallon, Jane Lynch and the casts of "Parks and Recreation" and Cuoco's own "The Big Bang Theory."

Among the other major nominees are "Bridesmaids," "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," "The Help," "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" and "Potter" for Favorite Movie. Ryan Reynolds, Pattinson, Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman, and Radcliffe will vie for Favorite Movie Actor, while Anne Hathaway, Emma Stone, Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon are squaring off for Favorite Movie Actress.

In the music categories, the Favorite Male and Female Artist races are a who's who of MTV favorites, including Eminem, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, Perry, Adele, new mom Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift. The Song of the Year race includes Gaga's "The Edge of Glory," LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem," Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger," Perry's "E.T." and MTV's Best Song of 2011, Adele's "Rolling in the Deep."
