Miley Cyrus Wanted for Lilith Fair Tour, But...

Miley Cyrus is a wanted young woman.

Sarah McLachlan tells me she was hoping Cyrus would sign on for an appearance during the upcoming relaunch of the Lilith Fair summer music tour…

"She was big on my list," McLachlan told me earlier today at L.A.'s Sunset Marquis hotel, where she was promoting her upcoming new album, The Laws of Illusion. "I actually think she's really talented and my daughter [India] loves her. It's all about Miley."

Unfortunately, Cyrus politely declined because of her already-packed schedule.

Not that Lilith won't be chock-full of enough musical choices to satisfy just about anyone. Among the more than 80 acts performing on the 36-city tour, which benefits local and national women's advocacy groups, are Rihanna, Ke$ha, Selena Gomez, country stars Sugarland and Miranda Lambert, Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow, Kelly Clarkson and Heart.

Lady Gaga is also a favorite in the McLachlan household. "I feel she's a little inappropriate for an 8-year-old, but I lost the battle on that one," McLachlan said. "But she doesn't get most of it anyway, so I trust she just likes the beat."

‘Jersey Shore’ Star Sammi Accused Of Assault

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. A 24-year-old woman said Tuesday that she was attacked by a female cast member of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” at a South Beach nightclub.

Kristen DeMinco said Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola punched her twice in the head Saturday, leaving her with a bruise under her eye. Her attorneys said they filed a police report Tuesday.

The show has been filming episodes in South Florida over the past several weeks.

“This isn’t acceptable for people to be going around hitting people just for TV. I think it’s wrong of MTV, I think it’s wrong of them. I think they do it on purpose,” DeMinco told reporters outside the Miami Beach Police Department. She took off a pair of sunglasses to show the bruise to reporters at the news conference.

DeMinco said Giancola confronted her in the VIP area of the nightclub Dream after she struck up a conversation with a man who was apparently Giancola’s boyfriend.

“She exchanged bad words at me,” DeMinco said. “I exchanged bad words back. She hit me twice in the face and I just backed off right after that. I didn’t want to get involved a fight.”

An MTV spokeswoman declined to comment on the allegations and said she didn’t know if Giancola had an agent. A talent agency in New York said it had once handled some of Giancola’s booking but no longer worked with her.

Ed Griffith, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s office, said filing a police report is the first step in initiating a police investigation. He said authorities would review the allegations to see if charges are appropriate.

DeMinco’s attorneys said they also plan to file a civil lawsuit against Giancola and MTV.

Julia Louis and Dreyfus Honored On the Hollywood Walk of Fame

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. Julia Louis-Dreyfus received the honor of a lifetime on Tuesday, when her name was forever emblazoned on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Just one problem – her name on her star was misspelled.

According to CNN producer David Daniel, who snapped a photo of the typo on his way in to work before it was fixed for her ceremony, the star that was laid into cement read “Julia Luis Dreyfus” – missing the “O” in Louis and the hyphen.

“I snapped a pic with my BlackBerry, then hustled to work and called Ana Martinez, the press rep for the Hollywood Walk of Fame. ‘Are you sure?’ she gasped, and then, understandably, she hurried off the phone,” Daniel wrote in his post Tuesday afternoon on CNN’s The Marquee Blog.

With the ceremony just mere hours away – “and you can’t just print up a new star at the local CopyMart,” Daniel noted – how did the Walk of Fame folks quickly fix the error?

Workers quickly printed up a new section with the correct spelling of “Louis,” carved the misspelled name out of the star and swapped out the piece with the typo.

As it turns out, when the former “Seinfeld” and current “The New Adventures of Old Christine” actress heard about the mishap – she thought it was hilarious.

“It turns out Louis-Dreyfus thought the mistake was hysterical, and wanted them to leave it, but they’d already chiseled out the ‘Luis’ and put a temporary ‘Louis-‘ in its place for the unveiling,” Daniel noted.

So what did they do with the piece of the star with the misspelled name?

“They’re going to give [it] to Julia as a memento,” he concluded, citing his Walk of Fame rep.

However, this isn’t the first time this has happened. A spokesperson for the Walk of Fame committee told Access Hollywood a similar situation happened when comedian Dick Van Dyke was enshrined as well. No word on what the typo was.

Exclusive: Ridley Scott on Adapting Monopoly

While talking to Ridley Scott about his new action-adventure Robin Hood, starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett, the director told ComingSoon.net more about bringing the board game Monopoly to the big screen.

We asked Scott if the game would be referenced in the movie at all other than the title. "Yes, absolutely," he said. "It's a Hasbro film and they have the game. That was a tough thing to crack in terms of the screenplay because first off, many would want to integrate literally the shaking of the dice and the throwing of the dice into the board. I couldn't really get past that. I wanted to just make a movie about the idea of greed. I told them you know your game can turn your sweetest, dearest aunt into a demon - a nightmare of greed. So that's what we're going to do."

We also asked, given the current economic situation, whether the project will have a tougher look at the real estate market. "Completely. It's a blood bath. It was really bad behavior. It's [going to be] a comedy," Scott added.

The film is set up at Universal Pictures with a script by Pamela Pettler. A start date has not been announced.

Producer/author Frank Beddor previously revealed that the story he pitched for the movie featured a "comedic, lovable loser who lives in Manhattan and works at a real estate company and he's not very good at his job but he's great at playing Monopoly. And the world record for playing is 70 straight days – over 1,600 hours – and he wanted to try to convince his friends to help him break that world record. They think he is crazy. They kid him about this girl and they're playing the game and there's this big fight. And he's holding a Chance card and after they've left he says, 'Damn, I wanted to use that Chance card,' and he throws it down. He falls asleep and then he wakes up in the morning and he's holding the Chance card, and he thinks, 'That's odd.'

"He's all groggy and he goes down to buy some coffee and he reaches into his pocket and all he has is Monopoly money. All this Monopoly money pours out. He's confused and embarrassed and the girl reaches across the counter and says, 'That's OK.' And she gives him change in Monopoly money. He walks outside and he's in this very vibrant place, Monopoly City, and he's just come out of a Chance Shop. As it goes on, he takes on the evil Parker Brothers in the game of Monolopy."

Blog Reader's Experience with Juvederm Ultra

One of our faithful blog readers, Rosina from Middle Ageless, has posted a photo essay on her recent experience with Juvederm Ultra injections into her cheeks and nasolabial folds (groove extending from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth). You can see her nice improvement here. She has a fairly typical result from a conservative amount of filler injected. I wonder how many vials were used? Most people with fairly prominent nasolabial folds need at least 2 vials to get optimal results.

Demi Moore Comes Clean About Plastic Surgery... Kind Of

In an interview with Elle Magazine, Demi Moore has finally confirmed the rumors that she's had plastic surgery. The 47 year old actress stated that she had work done, but only to her body. She also admitted to body image issues, and would not rule out more plastic surgery in the future. According to nydailynews.com:

"I've had something done but it's not my face," says the mother of three... However, Moore did reveal that she wouldn't be opposed to having plastic surgery in the future.
"You know what? Maybe one day I'll go under the knife," she admits. "It just irritates me that people are constantly saying how much I've spent on plastic surgery."

"I had an extreme obsession with my body," she says. "I made it a measure of my own value. I tried to dominate it, which I did, and I changed it multiple times over."

It's nice to hear her finally revealing that her body is not 100% plastic surgery-free. I never believed the audacious rumors that she'd had $3 million worth of plastic surgery, nor did I believe her frequent denials of going under the knife. I wish that the reporter from Elle would have asked her why she felt it necessary to deny having plastic surgery for all those years. Good for you to finally embrace it, Demi! Now admit to having work done on your face and we'll all be happy!
