Onscreen and offscreen couple Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson filmed scenes at USC and were friendly to fans on campus according to a student who was there:

It looks like Seth runs into his geeky ex-girlfriend Anna while touring the campus. Anna is sure to mix things up for Seth and Summer’s relationship.

The OC’s creator, Josh Schwartz, admits that he’s having trouble figuring out what to do with The O.C. when the lead characters go to college:

The show could always follow the characters at university, which is the most logical thing to do. No one is going to want to watch it if most of the young cast is gone or replaced.

Here are Bilson and Brody on set at USC.

Hugh Grant watched a ton of reality TV in preparation for his role playing a reality show judge in the film American Dreamz:

His other quotes reveal that he’s not just joking around, and pays attention to the reality shows.

Hugh Grant isn’t the only one who feels guilty but can’t look away. He sums up reality television well.

Here’s Grant with Drew Barrymore on the set of their film, “Music and Lyrics By.”

Here are some more pictures of Tom Cruise’s appearance on one of Europe’s most popular television shows, Wetten Das. I did see this episode and have a recap as well as some screencaps in an earlier post.

There are two videos available from the German TV network that puts out Wetten Das, ZDF:

As we mentioned yesterday, we caught Tom Cruise’s appearance on the German show Wetten Das last night. There’s now a video up of Cruise losing the bet and riding a motorcycle on stage on the show. (Note: Cruise is wearing an earpiece which gives him an English translation of the host. The video is in German, but it’s easy to figure out what’s going on.)

The first four pictures are from the Wetten Das website, and the rest are our exclusive screencaps of the show (Ok, so I took pictures of the TV. I have a laptop that plays TV, but the thing is new and is not working yet), which reaired this morning. The kiss marks on the bottom of the screen in one of the pictures show the progress of the bet, in which two girls had to identify lip prints from their classmembers. Tom said that the girls wouldn’t be able to do it, and lost the bet since they were 4 for 4.

Update: we posted Britney’s appearance on Will and Grace in two parts yesterday, but here’s a better single edit of the show that includes the end.

Trent on Pink is the New Blog is right - the writing is terrible on Will and Grace. Britney also cannot act for shit, and her southern accent is terrible. Thank goodness they’re killing this series finally.

Tom Cruise just appeared on the live 25th anniversay special of the German show Wetten Das tonight. He left around 9:00 PM our time, which is 2:00 PM EST. My husband and I were out to dinner and only caught the second half of the program.

When he was about to leave, Cruise mentioned Holmes specifically and said that she gave him permission to attend:

(It was difficult to understand as Tom was over dubbed in German)

Wetten Das, German for “Wanna Bet?” airs about once a month and is easily the most popular show in Germany. It features celebrity guests, live performances by musicians, and hysterical and creative bets. Today two girls had to identify the lip prints of members of their class. In an earlier episode, a man identified seed types by the sound the seed packets made when shaken. Celebrities take a side in the bet and have to perform silly antics if they’re wrong.

Cruise lost the bet and was supposed to have a motorcycle race as his part of the bargain. Wearing a tight black sweater and jeans, he swaggered over to a white motorcycle, which he was initially unable to start, and rode around the stage. The host, Thomas Gottschalks, came out on a tiny tricycle to “race” Tom.

After the non-race, Tom gave his apologies and left. This is not unusual on Wetten Das - the big celebrities often leave before the end.

The 25th Anniversay special is a huge event, and although Tom should have stayed home with Katie, it’s easy to see why he chose to attend.

The Wetten Das website says (in German) that Tom arrived at 7:45 (the show starts at 8:15) with seven S-class Mercedes limousines. He didn’t even see the stage before he came on.

Update: there is a video interview in English with Cruise accessible from the ZDF network website. Cruise says about the same thing as when he had to leave Wetten Das early - that Katie is about to have the baby “any day now” and gave him permission to go.

Tori Spelling has decided to cash in on the fact that people mock her constantly, and even welcomed some drag queens impersonating her at party to celebrate her new faux-reality show, so NoTORIous:

That’s a good attitude to have, and she’s going to get the last laugh if her show is a success. Here are pictures of Tori and her marked man at the XL Lounge in LA NY (thanks Mark) to promote the premiere of So NoTORIous last night.

Carmen Electra spread ‘em wide during her appearance on The Tonight Show on 3/29. She demonstrated the latest moves she’s learning at the circus dance school she attends.

She also denied that she’s pregnant and avoided addressing whether she’s having problems with her husband, Dave Navarro. She deflected the question with a bad joke, and wasn’t too convincing: (Dialogue transcribed from video)

Leno then reminded Electra about the stripper pole she talked about during her last visit, and she brought up the “aerial hoop,” which is a ring hanging from the ceiling from which you can do “all these really sexy moves.” She spread her legs, covering herself with her dress, and put her feet in Rob Schneider’s lap. He acted all silly and put a pillow over his lap.

Electra isn’t fooling anyone with her antics, and while she said that “[Dave] looks like a bad boy, but he’s sweet” when asked if she goes for the bad boy type, she never said once that “Dave and I are fine.”

You can watch the video and see for youself.

Electra is starring in Scary Movie 4, out April 14th.

So we’ve all heard about Tori Spellings new psuedo-reality series on VH1, “So NoTORIous.” The NY Times reports how Tori came up with the idea for the show and tried to sell it to different networks. She made a scrapbook of her most embarassing moments and described them to network executives in her pitch. Last year, NBC almost picked up the pilot for the Fall, but backed out.

After NBC decided not to run the show, VH1 picked it up as its first scripted series.

We didn’t know the show’s history and that’s great that Spelling came up with the idea to mock herself. We have more respect for her now and hope the new show is a success.

Here’s Tori at the So NoTORIous party in LA on 3/28 with her branded fiance, Dean McDermott.

And here’s a promo for her show.

First aging alcoholic Kathleen Turner had everyone buzzing that a Friends reunion was in the works by saying that she was approached to reprise her role as Chandler’s mom. Then Lisa Kudrow supposedly said that one of the guys was holding up a reunion. Now Kudrow is saying that’s just a rumor and there was never a Friends reunion planned:

A Friends reunion seems to be wishful thinking by fans, and it’s too bad it’s not happening. It seemed like it was being planned, but with all this conflicting information it may have been canned in the early stages.

Here is Kudrow last night in London to launch the 20th London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. She was promoting her film “Happy Endings.”
