Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman – PHOTOS

Say something nice…

Adrianne Palicki scored the role of Wonder Woman for an upcoming TV series. David E. Kelley is at the helm of the reboot which features Adrianne as a business woman by day and Wonder Woman whenever someone is in peril. (Click HERE for more of the series’ plot…)

The revamp has altered the iconic superhero’s image. Lynda Carter played the original WW in the 1970’s series. She wore a one piece leotard that was far less…plastic looking than this new creation.

I am far from a comic hero expert, but this mess looks like a stripper on a budget turned beauty pageant contestant. I did promise I would say something nice though…so…wow…she looks super…shiny.

Selena Gomez’s Britney Spears Tribute

The ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ and current girlfriend of Justin Bieber is readying her upcoming tour. Selena Gomez will begin her musical venture on March 29th. Fans can expect Selena’s music along with some hits from one of her pop favorites.

Gomez is working on a Britney Spears Tribute that she will rip into her plethora of hits and pay homage to her idol…

Via VH1 Per MTV:

“We haven’t announced anything yet, but I’m kind of creatively thinking of what I want. We are working on a few cover songs. We are working on a Britney tribute, which I’m so stoked about, ’cause I love Britney. I was like, ‘I have to do it.’ I wanna do a mash-up of all her songs and just go for it.”

Her plans are to cover as much as she can starting with “Baby, One More Time” and incorporating “Toxic” along with some more recent songs from Brit’s ‘Circus‘ album. As for recreating the former prowl of Spears’ dance moves…it won’t be happening. The goal is to focus on a tribute versus a reboot.

“I don’t think so. I’m not going to even touch Britney!” she said. “She’s so good. I wouldn’t want to butcher it. I’m just going to pay tribute to her! I’m gonna say she’s awesome.”

First Look at ‘The Hobbit’ – PHOTOS

Peter Jackson is finally rolling film on ‘The Hobbit.’ The ‘Lord of the Rings’ prequel is finally filming after years of hold ups due to financial qualms, director switches, labor conflicts, Jackson’s health issues and even an earthquake ripping through movie’s filming destination of New Zealand.

As a reward for the wait, Peter has bestowed two photos from the set on his Facebook page. Bilbo’s home is shown as Peter stands in the round doorway and sits at the kitchen table smoking a pipe.

Joseph Gordon Levitt Cast in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

The official cast for the third installment of Christopher Nolan’s ‘Batman’ series is finally taking shape. Another name has been added to the list of villains the superhero will take on in the third Batman film, ‘The Dark Knight Rises.’

Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine have been locked down while the rest of the ensemble has seen every rumor from Eddie Murphy being given the role of The Riddler to Angelina Jolie as Catwoman.

As Nolan finalizes the script, casting for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ has finally gotten serious. Joseph Gordon Levitt has officially joined the lineup after he was rumored to be auditioning and a serious contender. IMBD had him listed as a credited cast several months ago before removing his name from the lineup.

Levitt has returned to the list and is said to have nabbed the role of Alberto Falcone aka The Holiday Killer. Initial rumors attached him to the role of The Riddler, but soon changed direction and rumbled that he would be Robin. I recalled Nolan promising that Robin would not make an appearance in his Batman reboots. So that one was obviously a miss, but according to Variety, Joseph will be portraying mafia boss Carmine Falcone’s outcast son. The character in the comic books targets Gotham City criminals and murders them on holidays.

Anne Hathaway was given the coveted role of Catwoman, but Marion Cotillard’s name is also attached to the project as a rumored new love interest. If Marion does join the film, it would reunite 3 members of Nolan’s other box office hit, ‘Inception.’ Tom Hardy was the first to join Bale, Oldman, Freeman and Caine. The teenage model turned actor was announced to be playing Bane. According to IMBD’s character description, he is one of Batman’s “most deadly and powerful foes” who boasts strength and a high IQ. He is also one of the very few villains who figures out the caped crusader’s real identity. (If you saw the 1997 franchise film…he was Poison Ivy’s henchman.)

With the news of Levitt joining the film, another casting rumor is thrown into the mix. Juno Temple is said to be up for a supporting role as a “street-smart Gotham girl.”

Weekend Round-Up: Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger Split; Wyclef Jean Shot In Haiti

It was a busy weekend, and if you are like many of the staff at Hollywood Dame, you spent it sipping eight martinis and eating chocolate. No worries! Here is what you may have missed this weekend in the world of Hollywood Gossip!

Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger Split!

Despite taking her with him for his stint on ‘Inside the Actor’s Studio,’ Bradley Cooper has split from longtime girlfriend Renee Zellweger.

The two moved in together last fall, and Zellweger quickly became close to Cooper’s parents, especially his mother Gloria. Zellweger even skipped out on the Golden Globe Awards at the last minute to be with Cooper when his father passed away.

People Magazine confirmed the split late Friday, but the couple gave no reason behind the break-up.

Zellweger was briefly married to country singer Kenny Chesney, and Cooper also had a short lived marriage to actress Jennifer Esposito.

Wyclef Jean Shot In Haiti

While in his native country of Haiti this week, singer Wyclef Jean was shot in the hand.

According to TMZ, Jean exited his car when he heard gunshots. He looked down and saw blood on his hand, shirt, and shoes. He did not know who fired the shots or if he was the intended target.

A rep for Jean released the following statement:

“He’s fine now. It happened late yesterday night and he was released after a couple hours.”

The shooting took place on the eve of Haiti’s presidential election of which Jean tried to run, but was later deemed ineligible due to residential requirements.

Lindsay Lohan Partying in NYC, Risks Probation Violation

Lindsay Lohan recently boarded a plane back east, reportedly to spend some ‘quiet time’ with her family while she mulls over whether or not to accept a plea deal in her grand theft case after she was accused of stealing a necklace, but not too long after arriving her plans must have changed. Last night she celebrated St. Patrick’s Day at two NYC clubs, apparently having one of her last ‘hoorahs’ before her nearly-inevitable upcoming trip to the pokey. According to Page 6, Lindsay even managed to fit in a secret rendezvous with ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson at her hotel yesterday afternoon before making out with a random guy later on that night – at the club 1-Oak. But Lohan’s decision to spend time with her friends rather than her family has apparently left her siblings and mother Dina upset that she is not taking her legal problems seriously.

A source close to Lohan added, “Her family is furious. She’s supposed to be spending time with them and deciding if she’ll take a plea deal. It’s almost as if she thinks she may as well have one last final fling.”

Prior to the make-out session, she was partying it up with Tyson Beckford and and got in the booth with DJ Phresh at a club called Simyone Lounge. Lindsay insists she wasn’t drinking and carried a water bottle all night, hitting the town with a crew including Samantha Swetra and ‘Next Models’ booker Derek Saathoff, who once boasted that she always sleeps at his place when she’s in New York.

Just because she didn’t drink at the bars last night, doesn’t mean she hasn’t been hitting the bottle again, according to Lohan’s probation report. It was claimed recently that her probation is at risk because she is drinking a fermented tea with a minuscule alcohol content. Lindsay is said to have told her probation officer that she regularly consumes Kombucha tea, which has an alcohol content of 0.5 per cent or less. Now the Los Angeles County Probation Department have added it to a list of reasons why the judge should violate her probation when she appears in court next week. Lindsay was even spotted leaving one of her alcohol education classes with a bottle of tea in hand. She is asking for trouble, period.

Lindsay has until March 25th to decide if she’ll plead guilty to allegations she stole a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry store. A plea bargain will pretty much guarantee her at least 60 days behind bars, but she may also take her chances and go to trial.

Foo Fighter’s Dave Grohl Hates ‘Glee’, Attacks Ryan Murphy

Don’t count on hearing a Foo Fighters hit anytime soon on ‘Glee‘. Frontman Dave Grohl says that after watching 10 minutes of the show that it’s “not my thing,” adding “not everyone loves ‘Glee.’ Me included,” claiming that he and his bandmates are squarely in the corner of Kings of Leon and Slash. As in, they want no part of the Ryan Murphy-helmed show.

Per The Hollywood Reporter:

“It’s every band’s right, you shouldn’t have to do f—ing Glee,” Grohl told THR following the premiere of Foo Fighters: Back and Forth, the new Foo Fighters documentary which just made its South By Southwest debut.

Basically, their problem isn’t so much with the show – which they don’t like, but so what? – as it is with Murphy, who takes offense whenever someone doesn’t want their music being used. Grohl took a potshot at Murphy, saying that he is “so offended that we’re not, like, begging to be on his f—ing show… f— that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do ‘Glee.’”

Grohl isn’t the only Fighter who isn’t into the show – Drummer Taylor Hawkins feels the same as his bandmate, calling Murphy a ‘jerk’ He is particularly angry that Murphy criticized Kings of Leon and Slash for refusing to allow him to use their music. Murphy branded Kings of Leon “self-centred a*******” after they told him he couldn’t use their hit ‘Use Somebody‘ on his show. Damon Albarn of the Gorillaz also declined to license his band’s music to the show, making the remark that ‘Glee’ will be “forgotten in a few years.” Slash of Guns and Roses was the first to publicly turn down Murphy’s request, saying that he drew the line at the show because “’Glee’ is worse than ‘Grease’ and ‘Grease’ is bad enough.”

In the rock world, that would be called ‘selling out.’ After what Glee did to Thriller, they need to KO that show. The Ryan Murphy claws should be coming out soon.

Demi Lovato Donated $1 Million to Japan Relief Efforts RUMOR

Demi Lovato may have gotten a new tattoo to celebrate her recent release from rehab (see the tattoo HERE), but Lovato has NOT donated $1 million to help Japan as multiple sources are reporting.

On the heels of Sandra Bullock announcing that she personally donated $1 million to relief efforts in earthquake/tsunami torn Japan, reports began flooding in that Lovato followed suit and coughed up $1 million of her own…leading those like me to wonder how she possibly ever had that much money.

Turns out, she likely doesn’t.

Via Gossip Cop:

A rep for the Disney star tells Gossip Cop the reported donation is ”not true… it’s made up.”

However, that doesn’t mean Lovato isn’t trying to help the situation in Japan. Celebuzz got ahold of THIS PIC of Demi asking for help for the country.

We here at Hollywood Dame encourage you all to make a donation to help aid the relief effort in Japan.

Kate Winslet and John Mayer Hook Up !?

Newly single Kate Winslet may be getting back into the swing of things after breaking it off with her model-boyfriend Louis Dowler.

Star Magazine is reporting that she and notorious ladies man/douchebag John Mayer, recently hooked up following a recent Manhattan party.

According to the rag, Mayer, who was reportedly trying to bed the likes of both Sandra Bullock and Miley Cyrus, worked his magic on Winset all evening until she finally succombed…or passed out from too much wine.

However, a source close to Winset told Gossip Cop a different story:

Apparently, Winslet’s “hookup” with Mayer is so secret, not even the actress knows about it.

A source close to Winslet confirms to Gossip Cop that the Star story is “false,” noting that Winslet and Mayer “have never met.”

I guess Mayer went home to dream about Winset’s “beautiful vagina,” a trait he told Rolling Stone Magazine he requires in order to bed a beauty.
