Cyrus gets yet another makeover.
The transition from Hannah Montana to movie star hasn't been an entirely smooth one for Miley Cyrus, who scored a hit with the 2010 romantic drama The Last Song, but saw the follow-up, LOL get quietly dumped into limited release over the summer and, lately, seems to get more attention for her hairstyle choices. However, an upcoming stint on CBS' Two and a Half Men that starts this week should be a boost, and could help promote her eventual action-comedy So Undercover.
Still lacking a release date (at least in the U.S. — it opens in the U.K. in December), So Undercover sees Cyrus play a teenage private investigator who is approached by an FBI agent (Jeremy Piven) to go undercover at a college where she has to protect the life of a key witness' daughter (Lauren McKnight). The first trailer has arrived online, so Cyrus fans can see what they are missing out on while So Undercover continues to open in foreign markets. Not to play spoiler, but a makeover is involved.

Over the weekend, a couple of media outlets jumped all over Britney Spears for what she wore on a shopping trip to Old Navy. Spears finally seems to be getting her life together and leaving her crazy behind her, so apparently the scrutiny must start up again. Now, it's one thing to analyze and critique stars' looks when they show up at a red-carpet event or at public appearances, but to say that a star is reverting back to a time when she seemed mentally unstable just because she walked out of the house without help from a team of stylists seems irresponsible. Couldn't this type of hyper-scrutiny hurt rather than help an individual who is already having trouble in terms of her mental health? Besides, who doesn't occasionally look bad when they head out to the mall? And how many thousands of us would be mortified if pictures of the inside of our messy cars were published around the world? So, the point is maybe we should all leave Britney alone... or at least cut her (and some of the other starlets) a little slack.

Is Kristen Stewart moving on from Robert Pattinson? RadarOnline reports that James Franco was "enamored" with the Twilight actress when they ran into each other during the Toronto Film Festival last week. "There was a lot of flirting and Kristen was overjoyed by the attention she was getting from James," according to a source. After conversing with Stewart for 22 minutes, he was turned down when he reportedly tried to set up a dinner date. Maybe it's too soon? Wait until the publicity tour for Breaking Dawn: Part 2 is over Franco.

The erotica novel Fifty Shades of Grey may have started out as Twilight fan fiction, but after author E.L. James rewrote it and repackaged it as an original story — replacing Edward and Bella with Christian and Ana — it became a publishing phenomenon, earning James a spot on Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. Naturally, the popularity of the book started a bidding war in Hollywood and Universal Pictures and Focus Features ended up securing the rights to the entire trilogy of books in March of this year. Since that time, casting speculation has run rampant. Emma Watson was one of the first actresses rumored to be up for the role of Ana, followed by Miley Cyrus, Scarlett Johansson, and even the actress who played the character that originally inspired Ana, Kristen Stewart.
Well, forget all of those names. If James has anything to say about it, Shailene Woodley, the 20-year-old actress who more than held her own opposite George Clooney in The Descendants, will play the naive virgin who falls for a rich young man with a BDSM fetish in the movie adaptation.

Amanda Bynes is accused of being in yet another car accident. A woman filed a police report with the L.A. police claiming Bynes rear-ended her and then left without exchanging insurance information. Bynes reportedly crashed her black BMW into the back of the woman's Toyota Corolla. The woman said she didn't recognize Bynes at first and described her as a "hot mess." Bynes then told the woman the damage to her Corolla didn't look bad and got in her car and left. This is the fourth time Bynes has been accused of being in a car accident. She plead not guilty to a DUI incident in April, where she allegedly sideswiped a cop while intoxicated. She's also accused of being involved in two hit-and-run accidents in May.

Beyoncé may have a new job soon. The L.A. Times is reporting that the pop star has been shopping around some documentary footage following her life and career. With a celebrity as private as Beyoncé Knowles, it's a little surprising she'd be interested in working on a documentary about her life, so it makes sense that Knowles wants to direct the project. Her resume already includes singer, dancer, fashion mogul and actress, why not add documentary director to the mix?

Child bride Courtney Stodden revealed on Twitter that she is starting work on a reality show.

Miley Cyrus has a new tattoo on her forearm, and it was inspired by a somewhat unlikely source. The tattoo reads "So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat," and is a quote from a speech by the 26th President, Theodore Roosevelt. While the message to ignore critics undoubtedly resonates with the young star, getting a brand new, very visible tattoo with her wedding sure to be coming soon is a surprising choice. But maybe she's planning to get a coordinating Grover Cleveland tat on the other arm before the big day.

The three judges of The X Factor who are not Simon Cowell took a moment on Wednesday to explain why they decided to walk off the set after a contestant auditioned with one of Britney Spears' songs. Apparently, they left not because Spears and her fellow judges were offended that he was singing a Britney song, but rather the problem, according to L.A. Reid, was simply that the contestant's performance was "just horrible."

While Spears may have had an issue with someone singing in drag, looks like Miley Cyrus doesn't mind a little crossdressing.

We don't think fiancé Liam Hemsworth has any reason to be jealous.

Are Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, who recently got engaged, planning to tie the knot this weekend? With rumors swirling about the pending nuptials, Hemsworth might have let the cat out of the bag when he slipped up and accidentally said that the two were already married at a benefit dinner in Australia. “I was fortunate enough to get called back in to read with my now-fiancée, who I recently got engaged to,” Hemsworth told the audience. “And we read together and fell in love and now we’re married," he said before quickly realizing his error, adding, “Well, not married yet but we will be.” A rep for the actor denied that the couple are planning to get married anytime soon but we can't help but think that before long Hemsworth will soon be known as Mr. Cyrus (or would it be Mr. Montana?).

Hope you're sitting down for this next news piece: Snoop Dogg was caught with a small amount of pot at an airport in Norway. The rapper was briefly detained by custom officials after a police dog sniffed out the pot on the Snoop. Police discovered 8 grams of marijuana. Lucky for Snoop, Norway's drug laws aren't as strict as the laws here. Snoop paid an $827 fine for the pot but ended up in more hot water for the amount of cash he had on hand which exceeded the legal limit. An additional fine in the amount of $8,600 was levied on the rapper. Guess the fine takes care of the problem of having too much cash.
