Gorgeous Minka Kelly stepped out yesterday afternoon to walk her dog in New York City.

Last Friday ABC released the first official picture for Minka’s new NBC show, ‘Charlie’s Angels’.

It shows Minka Kelly, Annie Ilonzeh and Rachael Taylor sharing laugh while walking together and wearing beautiful outfits completed with matching accessories.

In the revamped TV version of the 1970s series, Kelly plays former U.S. Marine and weapons expert Marisa. Ilonzeh portrays smart, athletic ex-cop Kate, while Taylor is Abby, the youngest and sassiest of the group who is also a con artist. The three girls work for a private-investigation firm in Miami.

Ramon Rodriguez takes the role of Bosley, with Robert Wagner providing the voice of Charlie. The show’s pilot is written by “Smallville” creators Miles Millar and Al Gough, who are also executive producing alongside the star of “Charlie’s Angels” movie, Drew Barrymore.

Penelope Cruz looked absolutely stunning in her Givenchy dress at the UK premiere of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ yesterday.

What’s her secret to getting back into shape after having a baby? After welcoming her son in January, Penelope turned to dancing in order to lose the baby weight.

“I love ballet and it’s a little boring for me to go to the gym because I’m used to the dancing discipline — it’s really hard but much more fun,” the actress, who showed off her dancing skills in Nine, tells the Daily Mirror.

The Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides star, 37, also credits Spanish cooking with helping to shed post-pregnancy pounds after the birth of her boy, reportedly named Leo.

“I love Spanish food. My diet is the Mediterranean diet, which is good food. I eat well, but I try to eat healthy.”

However, that doesn’t mean the new mom denies herself a treat every now and then. She has previously admitted to grabbing food from In-N-Out every once in awhile, including before heading to the red carpet.

“I do it, like, once a week or once every two weeks. It’s my little treat for myself. I love the Double-Double with fries.”

Alex Pettyfer, who has been seen recently in ‘I Am Number Four’ and ‘Beastly’ has signed on to play a young character based on the experiences of Channing Tatum!

Alex has been cast as the lead in Steven Soderbergh’s male stripper pic, Magic Mike.

Pettyfer, who is coming off a starring role in I Am Number Four, will play a young stripper — a character based on the experiences of Channing Tatum, who stripped before his career as an actor launched. The comedy is slated to begin production in August in Los Angeles.

Tatum, 31, has said that he stripped for nearly a year when he was 18 to make ends meet. The actor, who is also producing, will appear as the titular character — a mentor to the dancer played by 21-year-old Pettyfer.

Pettyfer, who also appeared in this year’s Beastly, is represented by WME and Hansen Jacobson Teller Hoberman Newman Warren & Richman. Tatum is with UTA, Management 360 and Stone Meyer Genow Smelkinson and Binder.

Also producing are Nick Wechsler, Gregory Jacobs and Reid Carolin, who is writing the script.

Ashton Kutcher has officially signed on to “Two and a Half Men” , and according to TMZ, he’ll be making … and TMZ has learned he’ll be making more than half of Charlie Sheen‘s base salary.

Apparently Charlie Sheen’s base pay on the show was $1.25 million per episode. Ashton will earn somewhere between $625,000 and $900,000 per episode.

PAUSE: Can you believe Charlie was making $1.25 million PER episode? Rumor has it – he was making nearly $2 million per episode after his profit participation. Can you believe Charlie left all that?!

TMZ has learned, CBS honcho Les Moonves has already signed off and he will announce the show is coming back for Season 9.

And sources say the remaining cast — including Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones — will be coming back.

We’re told Ashton spent time with creator and Executive Producer Chuck Lorre and the two got along great — something that was essential for Lorre, who was at war with Charlie.

Ashton will NOT be playing the Charlie Harper character. He’ll be playing someone new, who comes into “Men” Malibu house.

Well this didn’t take long!

According to Nick Cannon, wife Mariah Carey had an unexpected visitor while in the hospital this week! A social work stopped by, to investigate a claim that Carey was abusing her newborn twins by consuming alcohol and drugs while breastfeeding!

Cannon told CNN that he believes someone is trying to sell the story to tabloids. A nurse at the hospital suggested that Carey drink a small amount of dark beer in an effort to help breastfeed.

“Child protective services were called with allegations that, you know, there was some drinking and drugs and all that going on while in the hospital, which again makes no sense to me,” Cannon told CNN’s Piers Morgan in an interview Thursday night. “Like, how would a hospital even allow that?”

Cannon went on to say that people wanting to sell the story might have been behind the incident.

“I guess someone maybe overheard that (suggestion), and this is a good way to make a quick buck, or call the tabloids,” Cannon said. “It’s kind of sad that people think that we’ll make money off of these newborns.”

Citing confidentiality rules, the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services is not commenting.

Can you believe this!

Wow! I think this is great news! The best work Ashton Kutcher ever did was on TV, so I think it’s awesome he’s returning to the small screen! I have to admit, I’ll definitely tune in!

This just in from The Hollywood Reporter:

Ashton Kutcher appears to have won the Two and a Half Men sweepstakes.

Two sources close to the deal-making tell The Hollywood Reporter that the actor is putting the final touches on a deal to replace Charlie Sheen as the star of TV’s No. 1 comedy. CBS, studio Warner Bros. and Kutcher’s reps at CAA declined to comment on the situation but a deal is said to be all but signed. The exact dollar figure he will be paid is not known but a source says Kutcher is getting a “huge payday” to join the hit sitcom.

The deal came together quickly in the wake of Hugh Grant passing on the opportunity to join the show. Now sources say Men creator Chuck Lorre has crafted a storyline to introduce Kutcher in a way that satisfies the network and studio. “It’s really funny,” says one source. “People are going to love it.”

Broadcasting & Cable reported Thursday that Kutcher’s name was surfacing as a possible Sheen replacement. The actor, who starred in the winter hit No Strings Attached, would be taking first regular series gig since catapulting to stardom on Fox’s That 70’s Show. He also executive produced the hit MTV hidden-camera series Punk’d, among others.

Kutcher brings a youthful fan base to the CBS show, as well as a big online profile with 6.7 Twitter followers, which could help CBS promote the show.

“Chuck’s really happy,” another source says.

For his part, Kutcher is remaining silent except for a cryptic message he wrote on Twitter: “I’m starting to become convinced that people put my name in articles just to improve their SEO or hoping I’ll tweet it.”

Matthew Perry just issued a statement to TMZ, telling the website he was making plans to go away while he focused on his sobriety.

He said, “I’m making plans to go away for a month to focus on my sobriety and to continue my life in recovery. Please enjoy making fun of me on the world wide web.”

What triggered the statement? TMZ reports that while Perry hasn’t had a relapse, he’s taking the trip as a proactive measure.

Perry has long struggled with substance abuse. He has been to rehab twice for prescription pill addiction, once in 1997, and again in 2001.

Hopefully it all works out for him! Hang in there!
