Kate Gosselin capture her clones Jonas-Watching


Kate, formally emperor of the world in her 8-year-old daughters' eyes, took twins Cara and Maddy to Thursday's Jonas Brothers show at Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.
An observer say to E! News the trio and one of the twins' friends rode in a black stretch limo to the concert, which started shortly after 7 p.m.
"They were really happy and excited," the source said of the three little ones, all smiles as they arrived at the arena.
And we presume Kate was pretty happy, too—not only because of the looks on her kids' faces, but because a newly single lady should have the chance to put her hands up, up in the club, because she just broke up and is doing her own little thing

Paris Hilton : insists she's not stupid—or sluttish


Hilton says that she’s not stupid—or sluttish— I just like you may think.
Every one perceive in face of the cameras is just a spirit she's imaginary.
"In a way it's good, but I also don't want people thinking of me as this blond heiress…airhead," she says in Paris, Not France, a new documentary about her life, premiering Tuesday on MTV. "But that is kind of my brand. I make a lot of money by doing that."
But she acknowledges her brand will forever be tarnished by—you guessed it—the infamous sex tape with ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon.
Yes, she goes there in the film…
"I always looked up to Princess Diana and all these women, and now I could never be like that," Paris says. "I want to have a family. I want to be normal. I want to be happy."
Instead, she says, she has to worry about people "thinking I'm a slut and thinking I'm something that I'm not."
But it was her mother, Kathy, who was doing the worrying last night—about having to actually watch the documentary. "I didn't know [the sex tape] was going to be in it," she told us before seeing the film at a red carpet screening in L.A. "It's very tough...I can't believe they kept that part in there. I thought they kept that part out. It's going to be very hard for us to watch."

Stock and wholly expected? Ain't that 'The Ugly Truth?'


Although its tempting stars, The Ugly Truth is a charm less quixotic comedy.
The film is so boring that it might as well have been written as a test classroom exercise in RomCom 101. The notion that opposites attract is a staple of the genre. But that doesn't mean the well-worn concept couldn't have been approached from a fresh angle.
There's nothing new or remotely inventive about this battle-of-the-sexes romp. The most notable aspects are its coarser-than-usual language and the flashes of chemistry between Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl.
Heigl plays Abby, the ultra-capable producer of a morning news show. Though she prides herself on finding solutions to any problem, her competence does not extend to relationships. A control freak, her businesslike approach to dating hasn't panned out.

Jeff Bridges proceeds to world of TRON, now in 3D


Jeff Bridges assures the new "TRON" is just as innovative as the 27-year-old original.
The 59-year-old actor and star of the original film came to Comic Con Thursday to help present early footage from "TRON: Legacy," due in 2010.
Bridges notes that when "TRON" was released in 1982, the Internet and personal computers didn't exist. The futuristic tale took viewers to a digitized virtual world, a concept that was decades ahead of its time.
Despite modern moviegoers' everyday interaction with technology, Bridges says he "can guarantee you're going to get the same kind of pop with this one. Everything's going to be super-isled."

Elite: Brad Paisley splits his nighttime at the White House


Nation state song star Brad Paisley was asked to participate in the White House Music Series on July 21. Exclusively for CNN.com, Paisley blogged about performing in the historic East Room before the president, the first lady, students, White House staff and members of Congress.
- I've been to the White House five or six times over the years, but none of those times did I ever pick up an instrument.
It was always for some event.
"Hey, there's a reception. Come eat some finger foods, and look around and be in awe like everybody else."
But this time, the phone call was essentially, "We would like to know if Brad would be interested in performing at the White House in the East Room."
It was as simple as that. It's like, "Yes! More than yes. I'm floored. Why?!"
And I could never get the answer why. They just wanted me to play.
Ironically, I read this story just last week on CNN about Michelle Obama's great-great grandfather, Jim Robinson, who was a slave in South Carolina. It's insane to think about that. How the world has changed.
On November 4th, I felt an emotion like I haven't felt in my entire life. I think whoever you voted for, you had to be moved.
My grandfather was in the Philippines fighting against the Japanese during World War II -- and now I record for Sony and played Japan twice on tour, and loved every minute.
If you'd go back in time and tell my grandfather during air raid sirens, "Hang on there. Your grandson -- they're gonna love him," he never would have believed it.
