Game on. The race to 1 million followers on Twitter has a new player, after singer Britney Spears' manager made it known she has joined the competition.
For those who have not heard about it, the race started earlier this week when actor Ashton Kutcher challenged cable news channel CNN to a Twitter duel, promising to ring CNN founder Ted Turner's doorbell if he wins.
Then on Wednesday, Spears' manager posted the following statement on her Twitter page. "Let's get Brit across the million mark!," he wrote. It was the equivalent of the United States joining World War I after sitting on the sidelines, because Spears is a Twitter powerhouse with more than 940,000 followers as of Thursday afternoon.
Kutcher had challenged CNN to the Twitter race, saying he would donate 10,000 mosquito bed nets to charity for World Malaria Day in late April if he beat CNN, and 1,000 if he lost. CNN agreed to do the same.
And Kutcher wound up the winner. Go Ashton!

It's one of the most shrouded summer movie mysteries: What will actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt look like as masked baddie Cobra Commander in "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra"?
The 28-year-old actor isn't giving away any details, but Gordon-Levitt says the villain's look was the main reason he signed on for the movie, based on the popular Hasbro toy line.
"The way the character looks, that's what ultimately convinced me to do the part," he says. "I saw the designs and drawings of the way they interpreted my character for this movie - the costume, the whole getup - and I was like, 'Oh, wow. I get to be that guy? Fantastic. Sign me up. Please. Thank you.'"

While no final decision has been made, the network's deal for the Procter & Gamble-produced drama-the least watched of the eight daytime serials currently on the air-ends in September.

Julianne Moore recently appeared on The View to chat about her participation in a new Valentine's Day initiative with Save the Children - an organization that provides tools and support to over 35,000 poverty-stricken children."In a land of such wealth and prosperity, it is shocking to see so many children and their families struggling to get by. In fact, in rural America, one in five children lives in poverty," said Moore.
Here's how it works: simply visit SaveTheChildren.org and make a donation between Friday, Feb. 1st and Thursday, Feb. 14th. From there you'll be able to print and email custom Valentine's Day cards to friends and snuggle buddies alike, and get the satisfaction of also helping a great organization.
Illustrators who created cards for the Save the Children Valentine's Day campaign include Ian Falconer (the "Olivia the Pig" series), Kevin Henkes ("Lily's Purple Plastic Purse"), Mo Willems ("Leonardo the Terrible Monster"), Brian Selznick ("The Invention of Hugo Cabret"), Marla Frazee ("A Couple of Boys Have Their Best Week Ever"), Rosemary Wells ("Max and Ruby," "Noisy Nora") and LeUyen Pham ("Freckleface Strawberry" by Julianne Moore).

Miley Cyrus is demanding more money from her parents!The 16-year-old star has been getting around $100 a week to spend on incidentals like magazines and coffee, STAR reports. "Her parents take care of all the normal expenses," a source says. But ever since she started dating 20-year-old model Justin Gaston, Miley's been dishing out more of her own dough, and she wants her allowance to upped to $1,000 per week!
I remember when getting $5 a week seemed like a good deal for my chores. I wonder what Miley is doing around the house to earn her allowance.

From New York to Los Angeles, Viacom channels like Comedy Central are set to flicker off cable systems in the first minute of 2009. Sumner Redstone's desperation finally impacted your life!
Apparently Viacom and Time Warner Cable have been negotiating over fees for months, and haven't been able to reach a deal. Viacom said it wants an increase of somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 cents per month, per subscriber across all channels, including Nickelodeon, VH1 and MTV. That's pretty bold given the state of the economy, and given that Viacom this year moved more of its content onto the internet, where it can be watched for free, arguably undermining cable subscriptions.
But Time Warner is still jacking up rates in some areas, despite the economy. And Viacom overlord Redstone holds company stock as collateral for personal loans he is desperately trying to renegotiate. Staring down the longest advertising decline since the Great Depression, he's got to be eager to wrangle (for Viacom) whatever revenue increases he can get his hands on.

Reportedly Jennifer Aniston, 39, took John Mayer back because she is pregnant with his child! We all know she has wanted a baby for the longest time and while if the rumors are true I will be happy I do hope it isn't the only reason she took John back.
Let me think. They were together for 3 months and broke up...so if she were pregnant now you'd think there would some noticeable evidence. My vote is nope on this rumor.

As you may have heard by now, Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins Knox Leon (after Pitt's grandfather) and Vivienne Marcheline (after Jolie's mother) via Cesarean Saturday. According to sources inside the hospital, the surgery was original scheduled for Monday but was moved up due to Jolie's weak condition. Several reports quote Jolie's doctor, Michael Sussman, as saying proud papa Pitt cut the umbilical cords of the two newest members of the Jolie-Pitt soccer team, and that Angie was in good spirits during the procedure, talking and laughing with Pitt and her doctor.
We hear that Getty is scheduled to do the photo shoot of Angelina Jolie's new twins on Monday. Knox and Vivienne are officially entering the celebrity media machine, and it's about time! The twist, of course, is that the bidding war between OK! and People for the rights to the photos is still ongoing. The price was hovering between $11 and $12 million this morning, and we hear it hasn't been decided yet.

I think when teen girls portray a specific character on television or in a movie they are automatically morphed into a specific persona. It's not fair, but it's life and they have to deal with it. But the fact of the matter is that Miley Cyrus is a fifteen-year-old girl who happens to also be a singer and an actress. She still has her own life with her own boyfriends and girlfriends. She's growing up, she's interested in learning about her own sexuality. It's not disgusting or crazy and I wish people would back up off her.
While I think Hannah Montana is annoying most of the time, I also think a lot of kids and teens probably enjoy the comedic series. I know my four-year-old son enjoys it and her music. And if he saw a photo of her on a magazine cover wearing a bikini he probably wouldn't think anything of it. He has seen Mommy in a bikini for Christ's sake. I mean I have showered with him before. There is nothing inappropriate about the human body as long as it is presented with the proper light.
What I mean to say is the photos of Miley in Vanity Fair are photos of MILEY not HANNAH. Do you know what I mean? These are photos of a girl who is growing up and yeah every young girl wants to look sexy and beautiful. Every young girls wants the "ooohs" and "ahhs."
But the public will rant and rave and scream and be disgusted if they want to. They did it with Britney, they did it with Hillary Duff, they even did it with Daniel Radcliffe. What you need to remember is these actors and actresses are a multi-faceted human being just like every one else on this planet.
If you have your young girl looking at Vanity Fair well than is that Miley's problem or your own? Because quite frankly it is ultimately the parent's place to give their own children a healthy outlook on their body and their world.
When my little boy picks up Entertainment Weekly and tells me he thinks the girls in the Desperate Housewife ad are pretty I always tell him I agree. They are pretty women, but then I also tell him they are too skinny and I'd like to see them eat some ice cream and put on a bathrobe. He doesn't obsess over it, he doesn't freak out and his image on women is not distorted now.
Granted I'm just one person and probably the minority in this case. But I'm a 27-year-old woman with a college degree and a fantastic full-time job. I have a great family and wonderful friends. And I distinctly remember being a 15-year-old girl who wanted to be a model and wanted to have photo shoots and be sexy. I wanted my first kiss and my first movie date. I would have gladly posed like that and I would have felt absolutely beautiful. And yes there are people who would have bad mouthed me, too. Any pretty woman showing too much shoulder is looked down upon by some. I feel sorry for Miley that the Hannah Montana fan club are so judgemental and narrow minded.
You have to remember she was surrounded by lights, people, cameras and everything. That photo was than manipulated to look darker, some of the color was taken out which made it appear even more questionable because it made her lipstick look darker. You could do this with any photo. You could take a photo of a little girl in a swimsuit at the beach and edit the photo to make it look like she was posing for a trashy photo.
I think every one needs to leave the girl alone. If anyone is blaming anyone or pointing fingers and being ridiculous then they should be yelling at the adult photographer who knew she was doing a shoot with a young girl and took advantage of the opportunity.
Miley Cyrus I support you. You have a fan in me. Don't sweat this small stuff.

Ok, we discussed the Miley Cyrus autobiography and decided a 15-year-old without anything traumatic ever happening or anything super amazing ever happening...should not be writing such a book.Well now a Disney insider is saying Miley wants to drop Hannah Montana and move onto more mature roles. Doesn't she play a girl in high school on the show? How can a 15-year-old me too mature for the role? If anything they could just tweak her character and make her act more her age...?
Thoughts?
Also, Miley Cyrus has legally changed her name, leaving behind her birth name Destiny Hope Cyrus.
And in some fun cinema news...
Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk will each have crossover scenes, as in, each character will show up in each other's movies (somehow). The New York Comic Con gave confirmation. I think this is pretty awesome!

Some are excited about her autobiography and others are wondering what in the world she could possibly have to say when she is only 15 years old.So here is my question to you, should an autobiography be written, or in this case co-written, by people who have lived let's say more than 10% of their life or is this okay for Miley?

I thought you only got a wax statue created if you had been a famous person for you know, more than a decade. Miley Cyrus now has a wax statue, it was unveiled today.Miley's strikingly realistic wax figure was unveiled in Times Square today to groups of adoring fans. Miley is one of the youngest people to ever receive the honor. I don't know if it is an honor, but it is pretty freaky.
The wax figure is wearing black jeans, a blue and gold silk top and open-toed shoes. Madame Tussauds' (the museum storing the figure) bosses have promised the first 100 fans who arrive to see Cyrus' wax doppelganger will receive free admission and Cyrus T-shirts, CDs and DVDs.

Can someone please explain to me why Miley aka Hannah looks so awful? She looked like she had eight pounds of makeup on and had been crying so her face was swollen. What's wrong, is she sick? I'm concerned. I have never seen her look so puffy. And please someone pull her aside and tell her to stop puckering her lips for every photo. It is just unnatural. Only Angelina Jolie can pull off the pucker.Everyone else is talking about the clothes of course and Beyonce's new hair color. Big deal. She could dye her hair pink and I wouldn't feel the need to talk about it. I don't like the hype she gets. Although I am ujpset about Jessica Biel's platinum blonde look, it blends in with her face, she needs more color. =o/
And then there is the news of Amy Winehouse getting a katrillion Grammy awards. Way to go guys, everyone clap for the drug addict and tell her what a fantastic career she has. She'll have little girls everywhere trying to figure out how they can be just like her. Good grief. Why!
