Bad news for Britney! On Friday, about 100 so-called fans stormed out of her concert in Australia because they were angered that she was lip-synching. Not for nothing, but where have these people been for the past 10 years? How is this news?

Sunday was a big night for Oscars host Hugh Jackman and presenter Robert Pattinson.

So how did the two celebrate?

By doing karaoke together in Tokyo.

Pattinson and Jackman were both in Japan this week to promote their films, Twilight and Australia, both of which recently premiered in Tokyo. They ended up in a bar together and one thing led to another and the two wound up making beautiful music together.

Is Nicole Kidman pregnant?!?

We didn’t notice a baby bump at the Oscars, and her dress was tiiiight, but today, at the Japanese premiere of her film Australia, Kidman was bump-tastic.

Walking the red carpet with her hands clasped in front of her belly made her look even more conspicuous.

Was it a bad dress, a baby bump or did Nicole get buck wild and actually eat a full-on meal recently?

What’s she got to be shy about? She looks better than 99% of the population.

Nicole Kidman arrived at the UK premiere of Australia last night wearing a tight white sequined dress which revealed more than the actress realized. As soon as it was brought to her attention, she made a hasty exit off the red carpet.

Don’t be so uptight, Nic. You’ve got one bitchin’ booty. You should be proud!

If there's anything you need to be embarrassed about, it's how sucky your new movie is.

Hugh Jackman is reportedly returning to Broadway as Harry Houdini in a musical based on the life of the legendary illusionist.

Jackman won a Tony for his previous star turn on the Great White Way in 2004’s A Boy From Oz about bisexual singer songwriter Tony Allen. The Australia star is rumored to already be practicing magic tricks. (We wonder if his work in The Prestige will come in handy.)

Danny Elfman has signed on to compose the music for the show, which would bow in 2010.

Australia co-stars Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman pose together at the film’s premiere last night at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City.

They look like they’re at red carpet prom.

Between Nicole’s botox addiction and Hugh’s case of gay face, we’re guessing the prom theme was Beards, Hags and Divas.

We kid, we kid.

We don’t care if Hugh Jackman is gay or straight, we just have to poke fun at Nicole. She was married to Tom Cruise after all.

Knock knock.

Who’s there?

Orange.

Orange who?

Orange you sexified by my sun-kissed, orange skin, baby?

Looks like fashion icon Valentino decided to channel Hollywood publicist Elliot Mintz and George Hamilton by hitting up the same tanning bed/mystic tan den of doom before hitting last night’s premiere of Baz Luhrmann’s Australia in New York.

We know they’re all so enrapturing, but which leathery lothario would you rather? And, no, you can’t say all three.

In a new interview with Playboy magazine, Australia star Hugh Jackman admits that during his stint on Broadway as Gaston in Beauty and the Beast he learned the true meaning of “the show must go on” the night he peed himself in front of a packed house.

Jackman was suffering from dehydration headaches during the show so he kept guzzling water to keep them at bay. One night he found himself without the proverbial pot to piss in.

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!
