Mischa Barton has a job! She's been cast in a CW show produced by Ashton Kutcher. "Ashton developed it about his life growing up as a model from Iowa, so it's about the whole fashion world that he was in, and obviously I have a lot of friends in the fashion world, so I'm used to being around a lot of people in that," Barton says. "[I play] a bitchy model-type character, like it's a totally different character for me."

The Hollywood Reporter says that Barton will star in the pilot episode for the planned series 'A Beautiful Life'.

It follows the lives of a group of male and female supermodels who share a home in New York.

Blake Lively says Gossip Girl is holding back her movie career.

The 21-year-old actress - who plays Serena van der Woodsen in the hit TV show - says she has been so busy filming the teen drama that it's been impossible to take up film offers coming her way.

She explains, "We shoot nine months out of the year, so there are so many films I can't do.

"On my latest movie I would go and take a day off from Gossip Girl in New York and go to Connecticut and shoot that and then come back the next day. And they don't really like to share you."

Keira Knightley has turned down the chance to reprise her role in a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie, insisting she's "done" with the franchise.

The actress made her name in Hollywood playing aristocrat-turned-swashbuckler Elizabeth Swann in the hit Disney trilogy.

A fourth movie is in the works, with Johnny Depp already onboard to play Captain Jack Sparrow one more time. But Knightley is keen to move on from the role.

"It was a completely fantastic experience, and it was an amazingly large portion of my life, but I don't think I need to go there again. I think that it's done. But I'm very excited to see the next one. And he (Depp) is so wonderful in that character. I think it'll be wonderful.

    Blake Lively would be a decorator if she wasn't a successful actress.

    The 21-year-old star - who plays Serena van der Woodsen in the hit TV show Gossip Girl - often doubts whether she has wasted her hidden talents at home improvement.

    She says, "Whatever I do I try to do my best at it.

    "There are things that I feel like I'm good at but I feel like I don't do those things often enough. Like I'm a really great decorator and a good cook, and yet I act."

    Paris Hilton is once again laughing in the face of the global economic downturn - she's reportedly having a $300,000 diamond-encrusted dashboard made for her pink Bentley.

    Drew Barrymore has told Jennifer Aniston to come to her senses and dump John Mayer, it's claimed.

    Drew - who starred alongside Jen in He's Just Not That Into You - has reportedly told the former Friends star that she is better off without joker-boy John by her side.

    A source tells the National Enquirer, "Drew told Jen she could do way better and she'd be a fool to settle for him."

    Yeah, like I'd take relationship advice from single Drew, when she can't hold a marriage or a boyfriend for more than 2 months.

    High School Musical will return, but without the originals. And so that means it will be a waste of time and energy, but teeny boppers will still go pay to see it.

    High School Musical will return for a fourth semester – but without the franchise's original stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.

    A new movie will hit the small screen in 2010 which, according to a Disney studio statement, will feature a love triangle "set against the cross-town rivalry between the East High Wildcats and West High Knights."

    He revealed that Shiloh is in a stage right where she will only respond to the names John and Peter! Ha! Pax, on the other hand, wasn't so funny a while back when Brad put him in timeout and he rebelled by peeing on the timeout chair.

    What in the name of 90s one-hit-wonders is Blake Lively wearing?! The Gossip Girl starlet attended the celebration of the Juicy Couture 5th Avenue store opening in a backwards cardigan.

    Two weeks before the film even hits theaters, Twilight shows have already sold out.

    According to Fandango, Twilight is accounting for two-thirds of all ticket sales and more than 100 premiere screenings have already sold out. This bodes well for the teen vampire love story and its burgeoning franchise.

    As rumored, Britney Spears joined Madonna on stage during her show at L.A.'s Dodgers Stadium on Thursday. Dressed in a white tuxedo-style shirt and black wide-leg trousers, Spears walked on stage at the end of Madonna's tune "Human Nature," singing the last verse. Pointing to Spears, Madonna then yelled, "She's not your bitch!" Although Spears didn’t dance, Madonna spun around her, hugged her and kissed her hand.

    She's not yours either, Madonna.

    Blake Lively does not want to be compared to Paris Hilton. The "Gossip Girl" star says the weirdest rumor she's heard about herself is that she acts like the heirhead. "Since I have a dog and blond hair, that must mean we're alike. It's a dumb thing to say. I don't think that makes us similar," Lively tells the new issue of Seventeen. "I don't know her, but I don't like being compared to anyone by somebody who doesn't know me. I'm my own person. I don't go to clubs, I don't party, I don't dance on tables and I don't like sex tapes."

    Oooo burn...
