Here's the Scoop....
Actress and singer Lea Michele is refusing to take a break from her busy career because she's determined to play "everyrole on Broadway."
The 24 year old has been catapulted to stardom since taking on a leading role in hit TV musical "Glee," and she admits she's eager to take advantage of her time in the spotlight while she can.
And Lea has her sights set on dominating the New York stage, where she got her first break in the entertainment industry.
She reveals, "I don't stop. It's my nature. People have to tell me to slow down. I plan on playing every role on Broadway... I want to do movies, make music. 'Glee' is only the beginning."
Lea, who previously appeared in the Tony Award-winning play "Spring Awakening," recently lost out on the chance to follow in Barbra Streisand's footsteps in a stage revival of "Funny Girl."
Instead, Six Feet Under actress Lauren Ambrose was cast in the main role of Fanny Brice this week.
Now, let's get to the rest of the nooz...
Ciao,
Sarah
Rowan Atkinson hospitalized after car accident...
British actor Rowan Atkinson was hospitalized on Thursday night after crashing his $1 million supercar in the English countryside.
The "Mr. Bean" star reportedly lost control of his McLaren F1 motor in Cambridgeshire and smashed into a tree and then a lamppost.
Emergency services attended the scene and Rowan was taken to a nearby hospital to receive treatment for a shoulder injury, according to reports.
A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service says, "We were called to a single car road traffic collision at 7:30pm. A male was taken to Peterborough General Hospital with a shoulder injury.
"It was a minor shoulder injury. The occupant was out of the car when we arrived."
Neil Patrick Harris vacations with Sir Elton John...
Sir Elton John is ensuring his new son Zachary has plenty of play dates on hand. They're vacationing with Neil Patrick Harris and his baby twins in France this week.
The "How I Met Your Mother" actor was one of the first celebrities to congratulate the John and partner David Furnish on the arrival of their tot via a surrogate mother in December, and invited the couple to bring little Zachary to play with his babies, Gideon and Harper, born in October.
And the stars have cemented their friendship this week by traveling to St. Tropez for a sunshine break. Sir Elton, Furnish and their son were spotted arriving in the area on a luxury yacht with Neil, his partner David Burtka and their twins, who were also born to a surrogate.
In a post on Twitter on Wednesday, Neil writes, "The family and I are having one of the best weeks of our lives."
Tori Spelling Wants to Plan Shannen Doherty's Nuptials...
Now that Tori Spelling and Shannen Doherty both have their own wedding-themed reality shows, why not combine them into a little 90210 reunion?
Spelling is up for it!
The wedding-planning star of Oxygen's Tori & Dean: sTORIbook Weddings, 38, is offering her services to Shannen, 40, who is set to document her own nuptials with photographer Kurt Iswarienko in an as-yet-untitled WE TV series next year.
Asked by ET Canada about Shannen's show, Tori quickly replies: "I'll do the wedding." But she admits she doesn't know what kind of wedding Shannen might want.
"People's tastes change," says Tori. "I could probably comment on the wedding she'd want 20 years ago, but that wouldn't make any sense. I don't know. She has great taste, I know that."
And Tori's husband, Dean McDermott, could even do the food. "He's in culinary school now," says Tori. "He's always had an interest in being a chef."
Tori, who's expecting her third child with Dean, is seven months along in what's been a somewhat difficult pregnancy. But she hasn't lost an ounce of ambition on the business side.
"I would love to do more than just weddings," she says. "I just want to keep building this little empire, this little train that could. I feel like I'm up this little hill, just keep going, chugging along."

Nicki Minaj's wardrobe malfunction on live TV...
Rap sensation Nicki Minaj gave TV viewers an eyeful when she performed live in New York's famed Central Park after accidentally exposing her breast.
The hip-hop star hit the stage as part of Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series and performed a handful of her most popular hits.
But she suffered an embarrassing nipple slip when her cropped green sports bra slid down, revealing her left breast to the world as she jumped up and down singing her latest single "Where Dem Girls At."
Eagle-eyed TV producers managed to catch the incident just as her nipple started to show and blocked it from airing with a blank grey screen for a few seconds as Nicki noticed the wardrobe malfunction and covered up.
She brushed off the incident and continued her set, entertaining fans with renditions of "Super Bass" and "Moment 4 Life."
An ABC spokesperson says, "Although we had a five-second delay in place for the Nicki Minaj concert on GMA, the live East Coast feed of the concert regrettably included certain fleeting images of the performer that were taken out of later feeds of the broadcast in other time zones.
"We are sorry that this occurred."
Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez's Relationship on the Rocks...
They're the teenage power couple of the moment, and Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez seemed to prove that their moment's far from up at Sunday night's 2011 Teen Choice Awards.
Hushing tabloid rumors that they were breaking up, Justin, 17, and Selena, 19, showed a united front from the front row of the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, Calif.
Although both stars arrived solo, the two sat next to each
other for the show after Selena rocked the stage with her band, Selena Gomez & the Scene, to sing "Love You Like a Love Song."
Despite reports that Selena was upset about Justin's older, edgier friends, including Chris Brown, Sean Kingston and Lil Wayne, the couple left the amphitheater holding hands. Justin kept his free hand on the small of her back, and they kissed goodbye before being whisked into separate cars.
Ryan Reynolds and Charlize Theron, over before we knew it...
Ryan Reynolds and Charlize Theron have ended their rumored relationship after just two months, according to a report.
The actors were first linked in June, after Ryan's motorcycle was spotted outside Charlize's Hollywood home.
Representatives for Charlize fueled the claims last month by refusing to confirm or deny she was dating Ryan, but it appears the romance has already fizzled out.
According to reports, Ryan called off the fling in late July.
A source says, "They're both too busy. And they were hardly ever together anyway."
Ryan's divorce from Scarlett Johansson's became official on July 1.
LOOSE LIPS:
"She's not a movie star, she's not a pop star, she's a reality star that everyone's obsessed with and everyone wants to see." Kim Kardashian's publicist friend Jonathan Cheban, who says the bride-to-be's wedding will be "over the top."

It's Gwyneth Paltrow...
The Oscar winner, who is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, has tasted chart success as a musician thanks to singing roles in TV show Glee and films Duets and Country Strong, but she has never recorded a whole album of material.
She comments, "Beyonce and Jay think that I should just go do it by myself. That I should go... in a studio and see what happens. And if it's good, do it. And if it's not, don't. So that's probably what I'll do."
But she won't be asking her husband for any help or advice. She reveals, "He's a musical genius. It's like living with Picasso, and being like, Should I make a little something- something?"
