Jessica Alba is not ruling out going under the knife!
Jun 8, 2007
Jessica Alba might not be keen on plastic surgery, but she may just turn to it if her looks start to diminish.
The Fantastic Four star told Elle magazine that though she thinks that plastic surgery robs actresses of that certain ‘spark’ needed to emote, she is still not ruling it out.
"As an actress, you express emotion with your face and if you have plastic surgery, you lose that spark. I'm not going to say never for sure, though," the magazine quoted her, as telling.
As for what areas she will probably have work done on, well stretch marks after she gives birth may come in for some treatment.
"I don't know if, for example, having babies will stretch my stomach beyond what is acceptable," she said.
However, Alba still insists that people look better without surgery.
"People usually look better without surgery - my grandmother aged very gracefully," she insisted.
Alba also revealed to the mag that she admires curvier women like Kate Winslet and Monica Belluci to stick thin ones.
"I love Kate Winslet, she has a beautiful body, as does Monica Bellucci. Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Biel, Scarlett Johansson – there are so many gorgeous girls out there," she told the mag.
The actress will soon be seen on the big screen in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, in which she reprises her role as the Invisible Woman.

Kiddie time ruining Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt’s sex drive!
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are so busy with their work and their kids that they hardly get to spend time with each other.
The couple has four kids - sons Maddox, and Pax Thienm as well as daughters Zahara and Shiloh, and Jolie reveals to Marie Claire magazine that while the couple have manage to work out time for their kids, they are still to find some for each other.
"Mommy and Daddy need to try to figure out more time right now,” New York Post quoted the actress, as telling the mag.
"Everybody needs individual time. Shiloh has our attention when the others are at school. Mad [her son Maddox] stays up the latest, so he gets the night-time. During the day, I'll go for a walk or do something specific with Pax or Z [Zahara] . . . We're working on it; we're working on it,’ she said.
“Right now, we're not great about Mommy-and-Daddy time,” she said.

Paris Hilton using jail time to 'reflect' on her life, and change the world
Now that Paris Hilton has started her jail sentence, she’s determined to use her time behind bars to “reflect” on her life, as well as to do her best to make the world a better place.
Or so says the heiress’ lawyer Richard A. Hutton, who also revealed that Paris was coping well with an "unjust, unfair" sentence when he spoke to reporters outside the facility where she is serving time.
"Her attitude is: I'm going to come in here, I'm going to do my time, get it over with, and I'm going to show the world who I really am. She's using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better," People magazine quoted him, as saying.
He also revealed that Paris has been winning over the staff at the facility, for far from her spoiled rich kid persona, they have found her to be “gracious, and polite”.
"She's doing very well under the circumstances. The staff here have reported that she has been gracious, polite, and thankful for helping her," Hutton said.
The attorney also told the reporters that because of Paris’ fame, she was being kept away from the other inmates at the facility, and that she will be spending 23 hours a day in solitary confinement in a 12x8 feet cell with a bunk bed, a toilet and wash basin.
"Because of who she is, they had no choice – and believe me, we are more interested in her safety more than anything else – but they had no choice but to place her in administrative segregation," he said.
"The one hour of the day she's out, she is allowed to ... take a shower or talk on the phone. But she's in isolation for 23 of the 24 hours of the day," he added.
"And ask yourself, for what? For driving on a suspended license as a probation violation. This is unjust, unfair, and she really is, unfortunately, a victim of a system that we pride so much on being fair. But for Paris Hilton it is not. Finally, my client's reaction to this has been fantastic. I'm very, very proud of her," Hutton said.

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt adopting a Czech boy to add to their brood?
The Jolie-Pitt family is soon going to get bigger, for Brangelina have reportedly decided to adopt for the fourth time.
The newest youngster is said to be an orphan from the Czech Republic, where Jolie has been shooting her new movie ‘Wanted’.
It seems that Jolie has been visiting a Catholic orphanage in Prague, and has fallen in love with one of the young residents.
Brad flew from Montreal, Canada, to the Czech capital to meet the little one, and now the couple are going through official channels to make the little boy their son.
“Angelina celebrated her 32nd birthday yesterday and had told Brad she felt it was time to extend their family again. Her maternal instincts are in overdrive and she felt a bond with the kid straight away,” The Sun quoted a source, as saying.
“She called Brad and said she had found a child who would fit in perfectly with the other kids. If everything goes smoothly, Angelina will have an Eastern European son to add to her brood,” the source added.
And, it seems that Jolie has been determined to keep her visits to the orphanage out of the media’s eye, using a series of decoys to throw the photogs off key.
The couple are already parents to four kids – Maddox, 5, from Cambodia, Pax, 3, from Vietnam, Zahara, 2, from Ethiopia, and their only biological child yet, Shiloh, 1.

Paris Hilton In Jail Today
Socialite Paris Hilton checked into the Lynwood detention center today slipping past the Paparazzi undetected.
Barbara Walter from the morning talk show The View revealed how Paris avoided the media frezy.
“I talked to her mother and I talked to Paris,” Barbara said. “She went to the MTV Awards and then she stayed a while and then she left. Everyone thought she was gonna go to parties [but] she went to her grandfather’s house.”
Paris reportedly slipped out the back gate of the house while little sister Nicky Hilton distracted the media by wearing a blonde wig.
“She was taken to an underground tunnel,” Walters revealed.
Walters also revealed what Paris told to her about the 23 days she will be spending in Jail.
“She said, ‘My life will change. This is the first time in my life I will be alone. I think I’m supposed to be there. I think there’s a reason and I will face the consequences,’” Walters recounted.
Walters added Paris has already planned a workout routine in jail to stay busy, which will include jumping jacks, and sit-ups.

Prince Harry's deployment in Afghanistan also in doubt
The increasing level of violence in Afghanistran's Helmand Province, has reportedly convinced British Army sources to have a rethink about deploying Prince Harry in that war-ravaged country.
Army sources have revealed that a single infantry battalion recently saw around a dozen of its soldiers airlifted back to Britain suffering critical injuries within a three-week period. In addition, other soldiers suffered less serious battlefield wounds treated at field hospitals.
Prince Harry, a cornet or 2nd Lieutenant in the Blues and Royals Regiment, had originally hoped to spend six months leading a 12-strong armored reconnaissance patrol in the deserts of Iraq. British Army Chief, General Sir Richard Dannatt, canceled Harry's planned deployment last month, and was said to be considering the option of sending the 22-year-old to Afghanistan.
According to The Independent, a dozen soldiers from the First Battalion the Royal Anglian Regiment had to be evacuated to Britain by air in the first three weeks of May after suffering severe injuries.
The grueling casualty rate comes amid intensive fighting in several areas, including the southern frontier town of Garmsir which controls a key Taliban supply route from neighboring Pakistan, and the area around the strategically vital Kajaki hydroelectric dam in the north of the province where NATO forces launched a fresh offensive last week.
Five Britons have been killed in the last month and a total of 31 casualties were flown home to Britain in the first two weeks of May - matching the figure for the whole of April.
Last month British officers serving in Afghanistan admitted they were fighting an "undeclared war" against Iranian-backed militias, equipped with increasingly sophisticated and effective weaponry and tactical skills.

Brad Pitt wants Cambodian property de-mined for sake of family's safety
Brad Pitt’s main concern when he and lady love Angelina Jolie stay in Cambodia with their kids is not snakes or the wildlife, but all the landmines buried across the country.
The couple have a home in the country from where Jolie adopted her oldest son Maddox, now 5, and often like to visit along with their kids.
However, Angelina revealed that Brad gets the jitters just thinking about all the landmines that have been buried in the countryside.
He has now asked authorities if the couple’s property can be swept for mines once again.
“He’s asking if the property can be de-mined again,” The Sun quoted Jolie, as saying.
The Jolie-Pitts, after a pit-stop in France for the Cannes film festival, were back in Prague where the actress is shooting her new movie Wanted in which she plays an assassin.
They recently also celebrated the first birthday of their youngest, and only biological child so far Shiloh.

'Spice Girls' may make 'Take That' kind of comeback
Speculations are rife that girl band ‘Spice Girls’ may make a ‘Take That’ kind of comeback later this year, by shutting their separate businesses and opening a new company for their reunion.
Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell had kept 250,000 pounds for herself before closing down her company Wonderful Productions in October.
Although it was a decent amount of money, it was yet a fraction of the 6.2 million pounds each Spice Girl used to earn in a single year during their heyday.
On the other hand, Scary Spice MEL B’s company ‘Money-spider Productions’ lost 5,000 pounds last year, and was worth just 12,000 pounds. Her accounts also show that she did not make a penny from the Spice Girls last year.
“Obviously the girls aren’t doing too badly as things stand, but the money won’t last for ever and some of them need to cash in while they still can. All of them have agreed to do it — they are just waiting for the deals to be sorted around the world,” the Sun quoted a source as saying.
“Simon Fuller is masterminding the comeback and they have even hired a top publicist to help them. They want it to be massive — bigger than Take That. The Spice Girls were huge worldwide and they want the reunion to reflect that. But it is fair to say some of them need it rather more than others,” added the source.
Four of the five Spice Girls met discussed their comeback plans in London last month. Geri and Baby Spice Emma Bunton were later spotted emerging from a Brighton studio, sparking rumors of a group bid for this year’s Xmas No1.
The group is also said to have been offered 1million pounds each to perform a one-off Las Vegas-style show this winter.

McCartney dismisses 'Apple connection' to parting from EMI
Sir Paul McCartney has denied that he broke his association with record label EMI because his childhood friend Neil Aspinall had left Apple, the company that the former ‘Beatle’ set up in the late '60s with his other bandmates.
McCartney quit EMI in March after working with the company for 43 years, and his latest album ‘Memory Almost Full’ is being released on June 5 by ‘Hear Music’, a record label established by coffee chain Starbucks.
Upon Aspinall’s resignation as Apple boss in April (07), it came to be suspected that the two events were linked.
However, McCartney has now clarified that there is no association between the two happenings, stressing that Aspinall’s resignation was a result of his desire to retire.
"(Neil) wanted to retire. Simple as that,” LA Times quoted him as saying.
"I've known Neil longer than I've known anyone in the music business, including all the Beatles.
Neil was at my school when we were 11, he was in my class. But he just wanted to retire. He's 65," he added.

Flying coke bottle ruins Timberlake's romantic weekend with Biel
Justin Timberlake’s romantic weekend with new lady love Jessica Biel was ruined when the singer got into a brawl.
Trouble started when Timberlake, who is staying at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester while he tours the UK, got into an altercation with another guest.
A source revealed that the singer, who returned with a cut above his eye, as well as a foul mood, after going off to fetch Biel a drink, was overheard telling the actress that the brawl happened when the guest started hurling abuse at him.
Not one to back down, Timberlake shoved the guy, who returned the insult by throwing coke at him, which hit him above the eye.
"Justin left Jessica at the bar while he went to fetch something from their room but when he came back he had a cut above his eye and was in a foul mood," the Daily Mail quoted the source, as saying.
"He told Jessica that some guy staying on the same floor had started hurling abuse, so he'd given him a shove.
"But the guy threw a bottle of Coke down the corridor at him, hitting him square above the eye," the source added.
And, the incident left the ‘Sexy Back’ singer in such a foul mood that he not only had a grumpy expression all night, but also refused to sign autographs for fans.

Pitt ‘physically & emotionally tired’ from being Mr Mom!
Brad Pitt is urging lady love Angelina Jolie to stay at home a bit more, for he’s exhausted from being both mum and dad to their kids. Brad, who had never experienced fatherhood till three years ago when he met Jolie, who at that time was already mum to Cambodian son Maddox, has gone to being a dad of four in a few short years.
And, since he does a lot of the work himself like making breakfast and dressing the kids for school, as well as taking care of baby Shiloh, a source reveals that he is now both “physically and emotionally” tired. “Brad’s physically and emotionally tired.
Taking care of all the kids is a strain on him,” Hollywoodrag.com quoted a source, as saying.
“They have help. They have nannies, but Brad does a lot of the work himself, he feels he owes the children that. He cooks breakfast, and he cleans up the kids when they spill stuff on themselves. He dresses Zahara and Pax and Maddox for school. This is a lot for a man who, three years ago, had no children,” the source added.
And this, the source revealed, has prompted the couple, who is currently in Prague where Jolie is filming her new film ‘Wanted’, to sit down for a heart-to-heart.
“Brad loves those kids and he doesn’t want to give up all the responsibility. He just wants Angelina to do her share and take up the slack. He and Angelina sat down and discussed this,” the source said.
The talk certainly seems to have worked wonders, for the source insists that Jolie has now started doing ‘more motherly things’ like taking the three older kids to school while Brad was in Montreal, as well as teaching the couple’s youngest daughter Shiloh to walk.
“Angelina is trying to do more motherly things. She’s heard the comments, not just from Brad but from his family as well. She’s a tough person, but this has gotten under her skin. So she’s trying to spend more quality time with the children,” the source said.
“Angelina seems to have realized that Brad has responsibilities, too. She says she wants to learn to cook, so that will free Brad up even more. She wants to show the world that she’s not insensitive to her own children. It’s only fair. Brad feels he’s done everything that Angelina wants. Now Angie’s even teaching Shiloh how to walk, and that makes Brad feel great!” the source added.
Pitt’s rep, however, insists that reports of the actor being the one with the lion’s share of the responsibilities are just not true.

Beyonce and Jay-Z Engaged
Jun 3, 2007
It seems that pop star Beyonce may soon be walking down the aisle as beau Jay-Z popped the question during a luxury holiday in Cannes at the end of May.
The couple, who have been dating since 2002, are reportedly getting set for a big autumn wedding in Hawaii.
"This will be the hip-hop wedding to end all hip-hop weddings," the News of the World quoted a close pal, as saying.
Jay-Z, who cancelled a tour of the US promoting his Roc-A-Fella business empire to see his lady love perform in the UK, has apparently promised Beyonce "the biggest diamond she can fit on her finger" when she decides on a design for her engagement ring.
Beyonce had recently revealed that she wanted to settle down and have kids.
"I want to get married and really want a family—in a perfect world I'd have two boys and a girl. You know someone loves you by the way he treats you and respects you. Me and Jay respect each other," she said.
A spokesman for Jay-Z however refused to comment on the couple’s reported engagement or wedding plans.

Paris Hilton Sued for Stealing Pop Song
It seems that a jail sentence is not enough for Paris Hilton, for the socialite is at the center of a breach of copyright legal battle.
A 250,000 pounds injunction is being issued against her record label in the London High Court over claims that her debut pop single Stars Are Blind is a rip-off of the UB40 classic Kingston Town.
Kingston Town, penned by Kendrick Patrick, is one of UB40's most famous tracks and has sold millions of copies worldwide since its release in 1989.
Sparta Florida Music Group, which owns the copyright, is taking legal action against V2 Music Publishing, as well as Warner Chappell Music and songwriter/producer Fernando Garibay.
The writ claims that Stars Are Blind is a copy of a sizable part of Kingston Town.
Sparta Florida plans to rely on proof from a musicologist and on internet articles, in the course of their battle.
Stars Are Blind was released last year, with Hilton describing it as "some reggae, some rock, a real mix of club, cool, happy music".

Jackson memorabilia auctioned for $ 2 million
Memorabilia from the Jackson family pop dynasty sold for almost $ 2 million during a two-day auction in Las Vegas.
More than 1,100 items had been put up for grabs at the sale, led by auctioneers Guernsey’s, including souvenirs from Michael’s solo career, and his time in The Jacksons.
The two-day auction was the biggest-ever sale of Jackson family memorabilia, including clothes, music sheets and gold disc awards belonging to Michael, Janet, Jermaine, Tito and La Toya.
The final sales tally is still being calculated but the figure is expected to be between 1.5 million dollars and 2 million dollars, with some of the proceeds going to charity.
Universal Express Inc, a luggage company, which acquired the items last March, sold the Jackson collection.
The iconic black and red military style jacket worn by Michael in 1987 was one of the biggest earners, fetching 24,000 dollars.
A collection of gold and platinum albums presented to the Jackson family for sales of ‘We Are the World’, a charity recording by a group of artists known as USA for Africa, sold for 20,000 dollars.
A 1960s ID card belonging to Michael Jackson, identifying him as a Motown Records artist was sold for 9,000 dollars and a glittery jacket owned by the pop star went for 19,000 dollars, while a 1984 telegram from the late actor Marlon Brando to Jackson sold for 1,600 dollars.
"We are thrilled with the results of this initial auction," the BBC quoted Richard Altomare, Chairman and CEO of Universal Express, as saying.
"But most importantly, I am excited for the children's charities that will be benefiting from the outcome, and feel proud that we could help these vital organisations," he added.
Jackson opposed the auction at first, but the issue was eventually resolved amicably.

Paris Hilton’s pop music dreams shattered by Warner Bros.
Paris Hilton has received another shock in the midst of preparing for her prison term.
The jail-bound socialite, who is due to begin her slammer stint on June 5, has been dropped by her record label.
Warner Bros. has shown the door to the heiress, who is said to be devastated after learning of the verdict.
"We are not expecting any new Paris Hilton material in the foreseeable future,” the Mirror quoted a spokesman for the record label, as saying.
This pronouncement marks an embarrassing full stop to a pop career that Paris once boldly declared would "leave a mark on music".
The declaration to drop Hilton comes after Warner Bros used up a small fortune promoting her.
Her only video for first single Stars Are Blind, cost 250,000 dollars after being re-shot twice to make it more raunchy and spicy.
She was also financed for a world tour to promote her album and was put up in some of the world's most expensive hotels.
Apart from suffering huge losses, Warner Bros were also put off by Paris’ unprofessional behaviour.
"Paris was sweet but she became more and more unreliable, which was a shame as the first song showed real promise,” a label source said.
"She started missing interviews and everyone lost patience. She claimed she'd been working on the album for years and was proud of it. But the sales just didn't add up and in the end it was an easy decision to make,” the source added.

Travolta Wary of Making Son’s Autisim Public
John Travolta is interested in having a third child, but the actor is recoiling from making his 15-year-old son’s autistic condition public.
Travolta has not come out in the open to declare that his son, Jett, is autistic.
However, a magazine editor, who interviewed the actor, is of the view that if Travolta doesn’t shy away from accepting the fact and comes forward, awareness about autism would get a major boost.
The editor also said that the actor should join other celebrities like Sylvester Stallone, Doug Flutie, Jenny McCarthy and Toni Braxton, who all have autistic kids, in raising awareness and research funds to cure the disease.
"Travolta sits there in interviews talking about how Jett loves to read or play sports, but it is clear that the boy can barely do either," the New York Post quoted the editor, as saying.
\"It's fine with me if Travolta doesn't want to become the poster child for autistic parents, but every time the parent of an autistic child hears about someone else who is in this fight, it makes them feel better. He could do so much good for autism awareness if he would just come forward,” the editor added.
Travolta has either pretended that there’s nothing wrong with Jett, or claimed that he has Kawasaki syndrome, a disease characterized by high fever, skin rash and swelling of the lymph nodes.
Tim Kenny, one of Travolta’s neighbours, and the father of an autistic girl, revealed that Scientology is the reason behind Travolta’s denial.
"Scientology is keeping him from acknowledging his son's autism. They see it as a weakness," Kenny told Mark Ebner of HollywoodInterrupted.com.
According to the Church of Scientology, people with mental illnesses are "degraded" and are capable of curing themselves by working harder on the church's teachings.
However Travolta’s lawyer Marty Singer asserted that such claims are false and offensive.
"The Travoltas are wonderful, loving parents, and their priority is their children. They have [taken] and they continue to take the best possible care of their children. To suggest anything to the contrary is very hurtful to a loving family and also would be false and defamatory,” Singer said.

Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller have become “inseparable”
Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller have become the best of friends after working together in a new film.
The British beauties have bonded so well, that they have been spending a lot of time off-set with each other too.
The pair, who is starring together in The Edge Of Love, a film about Dylan Thomas, hit the town last week in matching black boots, tights and sporting similar short dresses.
Accompanying them was Keira’s boyfriend Rupert Friend, and their other co-star Matthew Rhys.
Sienna’s man Jamie Burke was not present, but that didn’t stop the Factory Girli from having a ball.
Keira and Sienna, who enjoyed a meal at the trendy Archipelago restaurant off London's Tottenham Court Road, hung on to each other and stayed in step during their London nightout.
Sources said that the duo has become inseparable since they started filming together, and even want to buy houses close to each other.
"Sienna and Keira feel it would be great to have homes there and go on joint holidays once filming stops, so they can keep up their friendship. They’re actively hunting for the perfect cottages in the area,” the Daily Mail quoted a source, as saying.

Victoria Beckham giving a Spanish feel to her LA home
Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham is trying to give her new home in LA a Spanish feel.
Beckhams will be leaving their Madrid house after four years of living there, as Beckham is set to join the Major League Soccer (MLS) team Los Angeles Galaxy on a five year contract commencing on 1 July 2007, after his current deal expires this month.
According to a pal, ‘Posh Spice’ is trying to ensure that her new house in Beverly Hills has a Spanish and Moroccan touch, to avoid the ‘cultural jump’ and make the ‘emotional transition’ easy.
“She knows it is unusual for an English couple in LA to have Moroccan touches everywhere but feels that it will help David and the boys to make the emotional transition from Madrid to Hollywood – it’s a big,” the Daily Express quoted the friend, as saying.
“She wants to go for dark wood furniture, colourful, exotic rugs and Moroccan lamps and mosaics,” the friend said.
To avoid missing the Spanish food, Posh and Becks will hire a Spanish chef.
“David has been talking about how much he will miss siestas so Victoria is thinking of a day room where they can rest in the afternoon. They are also considering hiring a Spanish chef,” the friend said.
The family has a special attachment with Spain, as the rough patch in their marriage over allegations of Becks’ purported affair with Rebecca Loos, was smoothened out in Madrid, and the couple even gave a Spanish name to their son ‘Cruz’.

Sharon Stone Will Play Hillary Clinton in Satirical Ads
Actress/producer Sharon Stone is set to appear in satirical ads ridiculing the 2008 American presidential race.
The‘Basic Instinct actress and her rumoured love interest, French intellectual/businessman Bernard-Henri Levy, will be seen separately as ‘Patricia Hill’ and ‘Patrick Hill’ for the 60 seconds commercials.
The add campaign is the brainchild of artist Francesco Vezzoli, who is known for parodying Hollywood with ‘Trailer for a Remake of Gore Vidal's 'Caligula’.
Stone will be emulating United States Senator from New York Hillary Clinton who also helped Vezzoli in writing the script.
According to the actress’ rep, the commercial is a ‘farce’, the New York Post reports.
Other people involved with the project are President Bush's top ad strategist who currently works for Sen. John McCain, Mark McKinnon and Jim Mulhall of Bill Clinton's 1996 creative team Squier Knapp Dunn.
Vezzoli insisted that the commercials would serve as ‘the manipulative strategies of political communication’.
The ads will be out next week at the 51th Venice Biennale.
Meanwhile, Levy who is married to actress Arielle Dombasle has denied any claims of going around with Stone.

Katie Holmes together with daughter Suri shopped at a children’s clothing store in Shreveport, La and left so pleased that the owner’s received a thank you note later on behalf of baby Suri.
People.com reports, the Cruise ladies called ahead of time to inform the owners of a local store, Ladies in Waiting, children's store.
Owners Melissa Dixon and Pam Baker created a special pink picture frame decorated with a princess, butterflies – and Suri's name across the bottom for the 1 year old.
"Katie was really friendly. When she came in she walked up and introduced herself and Suri. We probably had three other kids in here. She complimented everybody else's children and said how cute they were. She was really sweet,” told Dixon.
The mother daughter duo later dropped off a note to the two owners saying, "Dear Melissa and Pam, Thank you so much for the beautiful frame for Suri. It is so sweet and reminds us of our wonderful visit to your store and our time in Shreveport. It was a pleasure meeting you, and we thank you again for this unexpected treasure. Warmly, Katie and Suri."
"The stationery is cream-colored with 'Suri Cruise' embossed across the top," tells Dixon.
Holmes picked up for Suri a pink dress with white rickrack by Princess Linens, three pairs of rain boots, a blanket, some stuffed bunnies and several games.

Lohan Takes Pass on MTV Movie Awards
By SANDY COHENThe actress, scheduled to be a presenter of the ceremony's distinctive "Golden Popcorn" trophy before she checked into rehab last week, was skipping the telecast, her publicist confirmed Friday.
Two "Dreamgirls" stars, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson and Grammy winner Beyonce Knowles, were in the running for best performance at the Sunday night awards, scheduled for live broadcast on MTV from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City. Sarah Silverman was set to host.
Also nominated in the best performance category were Will Smith for "The Pursuit of Happyness," Keira Knightley for "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and Gerard Butler for "300."
Smith's 9-year-old son, Jaden Christopher Syre Smith, was nominated for breakthrough performance for his role opposite his father in "The Pursuit of Happyness." Other nominees in that category included Justin Timberlake for "Alpha Dog" and "Little Miss Sunshine" star Abigail Breslin.
Films nominated for best movie were "300," "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," "Blades of Glory," "The Devil Wears Prada," "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."
The blood-soaked "300" garnered a leading five nominations, followed by "Dead Man's Chest" with four.
Sacha Baron Cohen, aka Borat, was up for three awards, including best comedic performance, best fight (with Ken Davitian) and best kiss (with Will Ferrell in "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby").
