Kate Gosselin's marriage may be crumbling, but her star power seems to be on the rise. She's been invited by Maria Shriver to attend the Annual Women's Conference. Also on the list for the October event in Sacramento? Katie Couric, Kelly Preston, Cindy McCain, Elizabeth Edwards and Madeleine Albright. California's first lady said it wasn't even her idea to invite the mom of eight to attend... It wasn't Arnold's, either. Maria said her teenage daughters, who are fans of Jon & Kate Plus 8, suggested she ask the Tlc star to attend. The invites were sent out five months ago, before the family was regularly splashed across tabloids. We can only guess...

Jeff Goldblum, Still Alive And Doing Very Well
27 June 2009 1:30 PM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news
This past Thursday, shortly after Michael Jackson’s untimely passing, a sick Internet rumor started that veteran actor Jeff Goldblum had died. His reps were quick to point out that the actor was, in fact, very much alive and well. For any of you doubting Thomases out there, here’s photographic evidence of the actor’s good health, taken just a couple weeks ago:
Of course, as many here in the MTV offices will attest to, Jeff Goldblum is king. He will always be David Cronenberg’s original “Fly” of course, but I love him best for starring alongside a young Laurence Fishburne as a high-class drug dealer in “Deep Cover.” And a designer drug dealer at that. In the honor of the fact that Jeff Goldblum still walks among us, I present to you this little photographic tour through his career.
I’ll admit, my heart skipped a beat

24 June 2009 9:11 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Grieving stars John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston have paid tribute to their late son Jett by honouring the teenager in his favourite vacation hot spot - South Africa.
The Hollywood couple is still struggling to come to terms with the loss of the 16 year old, six months after he suffered a fatal seizure on a family holiday in the Bahamas.
According to TMZ.com, Travolta and Preston jetted out to South Africa with a group of family and friends and rented out the Eagles Crag Lodge on the Shamwari Game Reserve earlier this month in memory of Jett, who was a big fan of their frequent safari trips.
News of the vacation comes just weeks after Travolta pulled out of media promotion for his new movie The Taking Of Pelham 1 2 3 as he couldn't face reporters' questions.
Sparks Wrote “The Last Song” with Miley Cyrus in Mind
22 June 2009 5:41 AM, PDT | From The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news
Nicholas Sparks, who is famously known for scribing tear-jerking books that later became films like The Notebook and Nights at Rodanthe, has written a “Song” for “Hannah Montana” star Miley Cyrus.
“The Last Song,” a Disney drama, was written by the author with Cyrus in mind. The book version of this story will hit stores this fall.
According to Variety, Cyrus is going to play “a rebellious teen sent to spend the summer with her estranged father. He tries to reconnect with her through the one thing they have in common: music.” Set to play the “estranged father” is Greg Kinnear. Cyrus’ on-screen mother will be played by Kelly Preston.
The movie is currently shooting in Savannah, Georgia, with Julia Anne Robinson sitting in the director’s chair. Jennifer Gibgot and Adam Shankman are producing through their company, Offspring Entertainment. Executive producing the film will be Tish Cyrus.

Greg Kinnear Bonding With Miley Cyrus
17 June 2009 6:21 AM, PDT | From cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news
The Last Song is being dreamed up as the way to introduce Miley Cyrus, a.k.a. Hannah Montana, to adult audiences, marking a departure from the TV show and movies that have made her famous. But in all honestly, the movie-- an adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel, naturally-- isn't sounding like much of a stretch. Cyrus will play a rebellious teenager sent to live for the summer with her estranged father, whom she bonds with through their one common connection: music. It's pretty much exactly what happens in a single scene of Hannah Montana: The Movie, but stretched to feature length. And I can't decide whether or not I should be interested in the movie because Greg Kinnear has signed on to be the dad (Kelly Preston will play the mom, according to THR). We all love Greg Kinnear when he's good-- As Good As It Gets, Little
