Billy Ray Cyrus May Lend 'Achy Breaky' to a 'Major Star'


Billy Ray Cyrus skyrocketed into the country music scene in 1991 with 'Achy Breaky Heart,' and -- all jokes aside -- he is convinced that the tune that made him famous is still a hit. Approaching the 20-year anniversary of 'Achy Breaky,' he reveals to CNN that "there are some major stars who want to re-do that song." And while the singer has not officially agreed to let someone else record it, he says, "I'm flirting with the idea. There's one cat in particular that if I told you who it was, it would blow your mind. But I've got to keep it under my hat right now."

BRC, the suspicion is killing us!

VMA's Get a Little 'West Side Story'

Everyone knows that the MTV Video Music Awards are the highlight of the year for the young set when it comes to award shows, so it's great (and surprising) to see that MTV is channeling a little nostalgia with a new 'West Side Story'-themed commercial for the show. In it, current superstars like Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and host Russell Brand have the whole Jets vs. Sharks vibe going on, plugging this year's show (Sept. 13 @ 9pm EST). Watch the promo here:

'Hung' Star Heche Hangs Ex Out to Dry

Anne Heche, who stars on the HBO show 'Hung,' appeared on 'David Letterman' last night -- to the detriment of her ex-husband, Coley Laffoon.

When asked to reveal her thoughts on her estranged ex, she replied "Can you say 'lazy ass' on TV?" Watch It

Lindsay Lohan's Burglary Caught on Tape!


New evidence has surfaced in the Lindsay Lohan burglary case. Police have released the survelience tape, and detectives believe the trio entered through an unlocked door and took personal items belonging to the actress. LAPD describe the suspects as being between the ages of 18-25 -- one white male and two white females. And it seems like Lohan may know the suspects.

Cop Investigated for Feeding Gorilla Pop-Tarts?



A St. Paul police officer is under investigation after entering Como Zoo, after hours, to feed gorillas a snack.

Surveillance video captured the incident last January, around 2 a.m., when two zoo security guards snuck four to eight people into the zoo. Among the unauthorized visitors, was an off-duty St. Paul Cop.

The Como Zoo isn't sure if the gorillas actually ate the Pop-Tarts or not. Regardless, the gorillas appear to be doing just fine.

The three gorillas are named Schroeder, Gordy and Togo. The Zoo says zoo-goers are not allowed to feed the animals. For God sake just let the gorilla have something OTHER than the overdone banana's. I save give em' some POP-TARTS!

Jo Bro for President? Nick Jonas Says Look for Him in 2040


The bad news for Barack Obama is that a good-looking, self-funded, scandal-free entertainer announced Monday that he wants to run for the White House. The good news is that the aspiring candidate is too busy right now to apply to college, let alone get a campaign together.

But once he has the time (and once he's old enough to vote), 16-year-old Nick Jonas said a political career is in his sights. "I've always had this dream of being the president some day," Jonas told a sold-out crowd at Washington's National Press Club. "In 2040 to be exact. We sell bumper stickers on tour that say 'Jonas 2040,' so go pick one of those up and start the campaign."

I don't know about you but with the way some things are going currently I'd be prone to giving the kid a chance at the seat now.

Microsoft Edits Black Man Out of Photo


Software giant Microsoft Corp. is apologizing for altering a photo on its Web site to change the race of one of the people shown in the picture.

A photo on the Seattle-based company's U.S. Web site shows two men, one Asian and one black, and a white woman seated at a conference room table. But on the Web site of Microsoft's Polish business unit, the black man's head has been replaced with that of a white man. The color of his hand remains unchanged.

The photo editing sparked criticism online. Some bloggers said Poland's ethnic homogeneity may have played a role in changing the photo.

"We are looking into the details of this situation," Microsoft spokesperson Lou Gellos said in a statement Tuesday. "We apologize and are in the process of pulling down the image."

Now I can see Apple taking aim at this in their next campaign and I would applaud them for doing so. I'm SO offended by what Microsoft did here.

Madonna Starts 'Celebration' With Jesus -- Exclusive Video

'Celebration' might be considered the ultimate Madonna retrospective when it hits shelves on September 29th: spanning two CDs, a jam-packed DVD and 27 years worth of music, there's never been a more comprehensive look at the legendary artist's body of work. The compilation's title track -- one of three new songs -- was produced by legendary DJ Paul Oakenfold, and gets the video treatment. While we've yet to see the full video, we have an exclusive clip featuring Oakenfold and Madonna's boyfriend Jesus Luz, who dons a leather jacket (but no shirt) and serves as DJ. Watch the exclusive 'Celebration' teaser clip below.
