Finally, we're free to dance away with our baby daddy Derek Hough's heart!

The Dancing with the Stars pro and his girlfriend, American Pie actress Shannon Elizabeth, have officially parted ways.

And they made the announcement, ugh, via Twitter.

Tara Reid won’t be appearing in the latest American Pie film, Book of Love.

Some reports say negotiations broke down, forcing her to pull out. We’d bet she heard the rising chorus of uproarious laughter at her pathetic backslide and she jumped ship in an attempt to save whatever miniscule remnants of some version of dignity she has left.

Too bad.

American Pie 7 totally could have been her Wrestler.

First Brittany Murphy and now Tara Reid?

What is this?

“Take Pity on Has-Been Actresses” Week?

Recently rehabbed Tara Reid is reprising her role in American Pie as Vicki Lathum.

She’ll appear in the seventh movie in the Pie franchise, Book of Love, about a new group of kids that find the “sex bible.”

Ummm, yeah, that bad boy is going straight to video.

But at least someone hired her washed up ass.

After years of drug and alcohol abuse, Tara Reid has checked herself into Promises Treatment Center, the celebrity rehab facility in Malibu.

Promises has previously treated such stars as Britney Spears (before she shaved her head), Mel Gibson (after he spewed racial and sexist hatred in a drunken rage), Lindsay Lohan (before she chased her ex-assistant and was arrested for DUI for a third time) and Ben Affleck (the one patient they seem to have had some success with).

Summit has already announced November 20th, 2009 as the release date for New Moon, the sequel to Twilight, and they don’t care how they get there.

In an effort to salvage her career as an actress (yeah, right), Tara Reid is giving up the only thing that’s been paying her bills recently; she’s dropped her booking agent and with it, she hopes, the party girl stigma that cloaks her like cheap perfume.

Alyson Hannigan is pregnant.

The 34-year-old  star of American Pie and How I Met Your Mother and her husband, actor Alexis Denisof, 42, are expecting their first child this spring.

We hope the kid doesn’t have to hear a “One time at band camp story…” about their own conception.

What does Good Dick mean to you? That was the question writer-director-star Marianna Palka asked herself when she sat down to write the script of Good Dick co-starring her boyfriend of nine years and producing partner Jason Ritter. While the title might imply a low-brow, American Pie-esque sex romp, the film is actually a delicate, intimate portrait of two incredibly broken people who may just be the other’s salvation. Ritter explains it’s about love, not lust.

Suffering under the delusion that a soundtrack is a movie, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist has been done many times before, only better. Back in the 90s, this was a film set in Seattle with lovelorn grunge rockers pouring out their emotions like French Roast to songs by Chris Cornell and Billy Corgan. In the 80s, it was every movie John Hughes made.

Poor Tara Reid. She’s not even a hot mess; she’s just a messy, funky, puke-in-the-hair mess.

The former actress attended last night’s premiere of The Women in Los Angeles. Why? She’s not in it, we doubt she’s friends with Meg Ryan or Annette Benning and there’s really no place for her on the red carpet anymore. She hasn’t acted in years, she’s reportedly a raging alcoholic and she looks like a reheated poopburger.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
