Carlisle Cullen Talks Eclipse

Yesterday we showed the cast of Eclipse making their way to Vancouver as production on the third installment of the Twilight series will soon be under way.

Now Peter Facinelli, who plays vampire Dr. Carlisle Cullen, gave some deets on the upcoming production revealing, “We start rehearsals tomorrow. We have two weeks of rehearsal and then a week of fight training.”

As the third book sees an epic battle between the Cullen clan and an army of "newborn vampires", Peter says the entire cast has to go through fight training. And he's pretty excited about it.

He adds, “Eclipse has more action in it and so I’m excited to get in there and have Carlisle roll his sleeves up a little bit and get into fight stuff.”

We hope you Twilighters are putting your pennies away for the road-trip up to Canada. Don't act like you're not going to stalk your favorite vamps and werewolves! We know you better than that!

So which are U more excited for: New Moon or Eclipse?

Its True: Fox Confirms Paula's Departure

Fox, FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment have officialy confirmed Paula Abdul's departure from American Idol and released the following statement:

"Paula Abdul has been an important part of the American Idol family over the last eight seasons, and we are saddened that she has decided not to return to the show. While Paula will not be continuing with us, she's a tremendous talent and we wish her the best."

We love how they make it sound like they had nothing to do with her leaving, when we all know if they had paid up, she'd still be on the show.

But the question remains, if Paula really worth that much money?

Sources say Abdul asked for about $20 million to continue with the show. She even rejected a 30% raise which would have given her an eight-figure multi-year deal.

Whatever the amount was, we're betting it still wasn't as much as Ryan Seacrest's raise, which is probably why she declined.

So now we're stuck with boring Kara DioGuardi.

DioGuardi better loosen up or develop an alcohol problem a personality, because she's just too dull to fill the shoes of our beloved Abdrool.

Now what will Paula do?

Drake Injured

Rapper/singer Drake may have seriously injured his already-banged up knee on Friday night!!!

Lil' Wayne's "America's Most Wanted" touring partner was performing his breakthrough hit, Best I Ever Had, with Wayne when the former Degrassi: The Next Generation star collapsed in the middle of a spin!

Witnesses at the show in Camden, New Jersey, said Drake "put his head down because he was in so much pain."

Four men carried Drake off the stage and left Lil' Wayne hanging in the middle of the performance.

Oops!

Drake tore his ACL before the tour started, but made the decision to continue on with the tour, without the green light from his doc. The rapper's doctor warned Drake he may never walk again if he managed to tear his ACL a second time.

Let's hope that's not the case!!!

Kristin Cavallari and Jason Statham?????

Hmm..we're not sure we buy this.

According to "sources", The Hills ho Kristin Cavallari has hooked up with Crank hottie Jason Statham. Allegedly, the two were seen canoodling during a night out in Hollywood, and friends (prob Cavallari's) say there is chemistry.

Supposedly, said source told Us Weekly that Jason "thinks Kristin is really hot. It's not serious; it's a hook-up situation. But it will definitely happen again."

Yeah, Jason Statham was seen out grabbing lunch in Malibu with main squeeze Alex Zosman as recently as July 24th. Kristin probably called Us Weekly herself.

"Hello? Is this Us Weekly? Hi, I have the hottest tip for you about Kristin Cavallari and Jason Statham. My name? Uh… Kristy…uh…Kristy Shmavallari.. yeah, that's right, Kristy Shmavallari."

Movie Alert: Audiences Don't Find "Funny People" At All Funny

The new Judd Apatow flick, Funny People, starring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen, is barely breaking the studio's low expectations!

Even though Funny People was #1 in sales on Friday with $8.6 mil, the film is only expected to bring in $25.6 million over the course of the weekend, a staggering $10-$15 million less than the norm for Sandler, whose movies usually open anywhere between $30-$40 mil!

No good!

The "dramedy" will need to earn $100 million in the States to push Universal into the green, but we don't see that happening!

Perhaps if they didn't have such a suckass trailer it would have attracted more people???

Freshed-Faced or....? Full of Fug!

Wait a sec, is that J. Simpleton?????

Oh no, it's The Ugly Truth star Katherine Heigl out and about in Los Feliz on Friday morning.

Our mistake!

…At least she's letting her skin take a breather from all that pore-clogging makeup????

Yikes.
