Here’s a movie that will no doubt be amazing. Spike Jonze is the creative eye directing this film adaptation from the popular children’s book, and the cast list is not too shabby either: Forest Whitaker, James Gandolfini, Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood), Catherine O’Hara are just a few.
New Orleans native Harry Connick Jr. is getting honors from Tulane University.
He is one of four people receiving honorary degrees from the school in May.
The musician and actor used his celebrity to draw attention to the rebuilding effort in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
Connick co-founded the Musicians Village to help provide housing for musicians in the city.

I’m a big fan of HCJ, plus I wrote a paper on him in college where my professor then gave me a low grade because he felt he didn’t have enough credibility as a true jazz musician. That pissed me off. He’s a composer, arranger, pianist, and vocalist which is more than most artists today can say for themselves.
Another hottie is off the market!
29-year-old actress Christina Ricci has become engaged to her boyfriend & upcoming co-star Owen Benjamin! They have been dating since last November and look extremely cute together. I’ve always loved the look of a short girl and a really tall guy. So sexay!
The couple will be starring together in the upcoming Scott Marshall film entitled, All’s Faire in Love.
No wedding date has been reported yet. Please don’t pull a fast one on us like Mandy Moore and Gisele Bundchen did recently. I love seeing pictures of the couple on their day! (I’m so nosey!)
The couple was spotted today grabbing lunch at the Graucho Grill in Studio City, California.
Look at the ring!
Congrats!

After spending some quality time in Australia promoting his new movie 17 again, Zac Efron arrived at Los Angeles Airport today. The poor guy must be so jet lagged from such a long flight.
Being a celebrity seems so glamorous sometimes that we don’t realize that these poor individuals get tired and just want to be left alone sometimes.
He was still kind enough to sign an autograph for a fan!

Nicolas Cage is starting to embrace his older side. Check out that silvery beard! I wish he’d also stop dying his hair, look more natural. The 45-year-old appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman last night to promote his new movie, Knowing.
He chats about all the movies he has filmed in New York, being out incognito, his uncle Francis Ford Coppola, learning to fly, filming in Melbourne, Australia, and his role as John Koestler in Knowing.
Knowing hits theaters March 20th.

This is what I would wear to court too, beehive & all.
Amy Winehouse appeared in court today in her Sunday best, where she pleaded “not guilty” to assault charges against a fan (Sherene Flash) during a high society ball in September 2008. Who in their right mind invites Amy Winehouse to a “high society ball” anyway?
The case is being adjourned until July 23rd by Judge Timothy Workman.
As Winehouse left the courthouse she was asked how she was feeling.
“I’m all right, thanks,” she replied.
Last night the stars were out in Hollywood for the premiere of the new Greg Mottola film, Adventureland.
Kristen Stewart who looked gorgeous in an open back, salmon pink & black Herve Ledger dress says she has taken to fame quite easily because she blends into a crowd.
“I feel like you’re more conspicuous if you cover up… I don’t really run into a whole lot of problems. I think I blend in fairly easily.”
Also at Mann’s Chinese Theater for the premiere were Ryan Reynolds, Bill Hader, Kat Dennings and Kristen Wiig who also star in the film. Do I really need to mention how obviously gorgeous Ryan Reynolds looks?
Adventureland hits theaters April 3rd in the U.S. and on July 17 in the U.K.
