Reelz' Entertainment Rundown
It was a big weekend for awards with both the GRAMMYs and BAFTAs taking place and as always the fashion played a key part. After receiving an email detailing unacceptable attire, the GRAMMY guests appeared less risky than previous years, however there were a few stars who pushed the boundaries. Jennifer Lopez seemed to gain inspiration from Angelina Jolie’s famous red-carpet Versace dress, wearing a leg revealing Anthony Vaccarello, Katy Perry showed off a figure hugging, cleavage baring Gucci number and Kelly Rowland left little to the imagination with her Anthony Vaccarello gown. The BAFTAs were a classier affair with Jessica Chastain stunning in a blue Rolan Mouret and perhaps the most shocking, Helen Mirren debuting a newly-dyed pink hair style.
The Grand Slam Star Trek & Sci-Fi Summit XVIII is taking place in Burbank this weekend, February 15-17. Science-fiction fans from around the world will enjoy appearances from a vast number of celebrities, including Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner, Jasika Nicole, and more. The non-stop auditorium show will include behind the scenes presentations, costume and trivia contests, videos, and auctions all related to new and vintage sci-fi TV and movies from franchises such as Star Trek, Stargate SG-1, Fringe, Supernatural, Teen Wolf, and The Vampire Diaries

With the frequency with which the word "smurf" is used, these movies practically write themselves!
What do you do when you make a movie that is universally disliked but makes half a billion dollars at the box office? In the case of The Smurfs, you make a sequel!
For Smurfs 2, the wizard evil Gargamel (again played by Hank Azaria) has created two Smurf-like creatures he calls "the Naughties" — Vexy (voiced by newcomers Christina Ricci) and Hackus (J.B. Smoove) — and uses them to try to manipulate the good-natured Smurfette (still voiced by Katy Perry). Why not? After all, Gargamel created Smurfette in the first place, so now he'll get all of his creations in one place!

The story about the final days of Sons of Anarchy star Johnny Lewis continues to become more and more bizarre. Police suspect Lewis of murdering his 86-year-old landlady before falling off a roof to his death on Wednesday. TMZ also reports that police also believe Lewis killed and dismembered his landlady's cat, too. This was not the first time Lewis displayed violent tendencies. He was arrested three times in 2012 for felony assault, battery, and burglary. Fellow Sons of Anarchy star Kenny Johnson said Lewis was a "good guy" and said he was shocked by the recent news. The show's creator, Kurt Sutter, said he wasn't surprised by Lewis' death, claiming the actor had long been on a "destructive path." Katy Perry, who dated Lewis from 2005 to 2006 said she's "devastated" by his passing. A source close to the singer said the actor was "troubled" and that Katy "had to separate from him ... to get ahead and focus on her career."

On Friday evening, Nicole Polizzi, better known as Snooki, tweeted that she was "a balloon ready to pop," and early Sunday morning she popped. At 3 a.m. Sunday Snooki and her fiance, Jionni LaValle, welcomed 6-pound 5-ounce baby boy Lorenzo "Enzo" Dominic LaValle into the world. A rep for Snooks made the announcement by telling MTV that "the world just got another Guido" and that mama, baby and dad were all doing great. Both parents took to Twitter with their new baby excitement with Snooki tweeting "HE'S MY WORLD!" and "being a mom is an amazing feeling." Meanwhile, new daddy Jionni LaValle compared the birth of his son to hanging out with his friends, tweeting "ill never forget old high school memories or the vacations I been on with my boys, I will also never forget 8/26/12 the day my son was born!" Going on vacation and welcoming your firstborn to the world are pretty comparable, right?

After Lance Armstrong decided to stop fighting the US Anti-Doping Agency's charges that he used performance-enhancing drugs, he was stripped of his Tour de France titles, but he has not been dropped by his sponsors. Nike, Anheuser-Busch, and Oakley sunglasses have all said they will stand by Armstrong despite the controversy. Other sponsors such as Trek Bicycle Corp, and 24-Hour Fitness have yet to make a decision and are still monitoring the situation. Experts believe that his work in raising money for cancer research, including the $470 million that Livestrong has made, will help to diminish the impact of the doping allegations on Armstrong's image and career. The Lance Armstrong Foundation actually reported a spike in donations on Friday, following the news of the USADA's decision, and said they had seen a huge outpouring of support for the disgraced athlete.

It was only last week that Robert Pattinson's girlfriend, Kristen Stewart, made a public apology ostensibly for cheating with married director Rupert Sanders, but Rob is already shacking up with another beautiful, A-list celebrity. The actor has reportedly been crashing at Reese Witherspoon's house in Ojai, Calif. The two starred together in last year's Water for Elephants, but, of course, Witherspoon is happily married and expecting her third child, so this gossip probably isn't nearly as juicy as it sounds.

In absurdly-high-priced-accessory news, a watch worn by screen legend Steve McQueen in Le Mans was sold for nearly $800k at a recent auction. The same auction house, Profiles in History, also sold off a 1938 copy of Gone With the Wind signed by most of the movie's cast for a cool $135,300. Hopefully exorbitant prices spent on Hollywood memorabilia is an indicator of an economic upswing.

Actor and comedian Ricky Gervais made an announcement on his blog Tuesday about a new project. He is working with frequent collaborator Karl Pilkington on a web series called "Learn English with Ricky Gervais." He hopes to have it subtitled in many languages, including perhaps Klingon.

Well, that didn't take long. Lindsay Lohan, fresh off probation, is being accused of battery. A woman filed a battery report, claiming Lilo got into a confrontation with her at a L.A. nightclub last Thursday night. The woman said Lohan pushed and shoved her when she began talking to a male friend of Lohan. The woman claims she was injured on her back and says she has visible bruises. Lohan claims she was home the night of the alleged attack and a representative for the actress said, "Lindsay was absolutely not involved in any sort of altercation whatsoever. This is clearly another case of someone looking for money and 15 minutes of fame." Though Lohan is off formal probation, she's still on informal probation for her necklace theft case until May 2014. If she were to get in trouble with the law, she could face 245 days in jail.

Given her history of DUIs, maybe Lilo could console Amanda Bynes, who after being arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, was photographed with a pouty face while waiting for her BMW at the impound yard over the weekend. On Friday, she was arrested after she crashed her car into a police cruiser and was said to be intoxicated. Bynes was still in her clubbing outfit, a short skirt, heels and jacket, when she was photographed looking glum while waiting for her car. Do we have another Lohan on our hands?

A 40-year-old woman accused of stalking Alec Bladwin was arrested outside the actor's NYC apartment Sunday night, reports TMZ. This is the third time she's allegedly attempted to contact Baldwin in the past two weeks.

Can you imagine how bad the other Baldwin brothers have it?

Whitney Houston's toxicology report won't be released for another 4-6 weeks but TMZ is reporting the LA County Coroner is telling family members the singer died from a combination of Xanax, other prescription drugs, and alcohol, not from drowning as was previously believed (she was found with her head submerged in a bathtub).
