Here's the Scoop....
Just friends? That's getting harder to believe.
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, who've been downplaying
rumors of romance, certainly look cozy together kissing
and cuddling in new photos from St. Lucia.
Justin, 16, and Selena, 18, have been seen arm in arm on
several occasions over the past few months, but have been
coy about their relationship status.
"We just like to hang out. They shouldn't be stopping us
from going out to dinner and things like that," Selena
said last month.
Justin recently said of Selena: "She's really cool. She's
an amazing person." But he added: "I gotta keep some
things to myself."
The teens may be trying to keep things private, but the
new photos of the couple canoodling in their bathing
suits has caused an uproar on Twitter where many fans
expressed their passionate feelings about the supposed
pairing.

Anne Francis Dies...
Anne Francis, a sweet-voiced honey blonde who starred as a
sexy Jane Bond-type detective on TV's Honey West in the mid-
'60s and was a CinemaScope eyeful in the '50s sci-fi classic
Forbidden Planet, died Sunday of complications of pancreatic
cancer at a retirement home in Santa Barbara, California.
She was 80.
With a distinctive beauty mark below her lower right lip,
Anne, though never a top-ranking star, always had her devoted
cult followers. Among her better-known movies were Bad Day at
Black Rock, Blackboard Jungle, Don't Go Near the Water and
Funny Girl, though in that last picture she claimed her best
scenes ended up on the cutting-room floor. She played a
Ziegfeld Girl gal pal of headliner Fanny Brice, played by
Barbra Streisand.
In Forbidden Planet Anne was Altaira, the daughter of the
space scientist played by Walter Pidgeon. "I got that part
because I was under contract to MGM and I had good legs,"
Anne later said. Her love interest in the movie was a
handsome young Leslie Nielsen, who died in November.
A native of Ossining, N.Y., the former child actress went to
Hollywood and signed contracts with the studios in the '40s,
but her career finaly took hold in the next decade thanks to
live-TV productions. She is survived by two daughters and a
grandson.

according to her rep.
In a 2009 interview, Mila said of Macaulay, the former child
star of the Home Alone movies: "We grew up together. You
find a steady rock in your life and that?s all you need. We
have our ups and downs, but work through them."

Pete Postlethwaite died in a in Shropshire, England,
hospital Sunday after a lengthy fight with cancer.
He was 64.
An Oscar nominee for his role as the father of Daniel Day-
Lewis's character in the 1993 In the Name of the Father, the
distinctive-looking Pete also played the menacing owner of a
flower shop in last year's The Town, directed by and starring
Ben Affleck. In Inception, he was the rich, dying patriarch
(his son was played by Cillian Murphy).
Steven Spielberg, who directed Pete in The Lost World:
Jurassic Park and Amistad, once called him "the best actor
in the world." In response, Pete, who originally wanted to
be a priest, quipped, "I'm sure what Steven actually said
was, 'the thing about Pete is that he thinks he's the best
actor in the world.' "
A political activist, Pete protested the war in Iraq,
supported the Make Poverty History campaign and starred in
a 2009 film about global warming, The Age of Stupid.
Survivors are his wife, Jacqui, his son Will and daughter,
Lily.

Paris Hilton's extension lawsuit gets even hairier...
Paris Hilton is still tangled in her fight with a hair
extensions company. Firm bosses have amended their lawsuit
to accuse Paris of costing them a staggering $70 million.
Executives at Hairtech International Inc. originally sued
Paris for $35 million in August over claims she reneged on
her endorsement deal to promote their Dream Catchers range
in 2007 by wearing a competitor's extensions.
They also claimed she failed to attend a 2007 launch party
after she was jailed for driving on a suspended license
while on probation for drunk driving.
But now Hairtech heads are stepping up their battle with
Paris by doubling the sum they maintain she cost them in
profits.
Earlier this month, a judge dismissed a number of Hairtech
bosses' complaints, throwing out an allegation of fraud.
Lawyers were also told to remove any reference to Paris
wearing a rival's products.

*-*-* GUESS WHO *-*-*-
This actor has no problems watching his friends boozing
because giving up alcohol was "the best decision" of his
life...
It's Colin Farrell...
The actor began drinking at a young age and became heavily
dependent on the bottle in the early days of his Hollywood
career.
He quit alcohol in 2006 when he realized how serious his
addiction had become and has never regretted the decision.
Colin says, "I didn't lose any friends because of it. It
doesn't bother me watching mates getting drunk when we're
out.
"It was the best decision in my whole life. Now I go home
at 1 a.m. instead of 4 a.m. -- not that they would notice."
