Last Update on 07-02-2009 at 06:19:08from Eyewitness News Online Katie Holmes To Channel Judy Garland LOS ANGELES Katie Holmes will do her best Judy Garland when she guests later this month on "So You Think You Can Dance." She'll sing and dance to one of Garland's trademark songs: "Get Happy." Holmes is coming on the show July 23 to help introduce the Dizzy Feet Foundation. Holmes is a founding member, along with Carrie Ann Inaba and Nygel Lythgoe. Dizzy Feet will give scholarships in dance.
LAS VEGAS If you think Heather Graham is an idiot in "The Hangover," she's doing her job. Graham finds that she does her best comedy when she's not trying to be funny. And when she's willing to do anything for a laugh. She says "you have to be willing to be an idiot." "My Sister's Keeper" - Abigail Breslin And Chef Cameron Diaz SANTA MONICA, Calif. When you're making a movie about a young teenage girl with cancer, it helps to have some fun times on the set. Abigail Breslin says Cameron Diaz provided those during "My Sister's Keeper." Breslin says Diaz would cook in her trailer making things like chili cheese fries. Diaz chimes in saying she would ask the three kids who play her children, what they wanted for lunch. Diaz says each one of them got to pick their favorite meal on a different day and she would cook it. Diaz says for Breslin, it was chili cheese fries. Breslin plays the healthy, younger daughter in "My Sister's Keeper." "Cheri" - Michelle Pfeiffer NEW YORK Michelle Pfeiffer sure does a lot of period pieces. Her latest, "Cheri," is another one. It's not through any plan of hers. She says period pieces aren't even in her "comfort zone." She says she doesn't "seek them out," but she says she sure does "a lot of them." Pfeiffer plays an aging courtesan who falls in love with a much younger man. "Cheri" is in limited release. "Big Brother" Cast LOS ANGELES Can a surfer, neuroscientist, a bikini model, "World of Warcraft" gamer and mixed martial arts fighter all get along? They're just some of the new cast for the upcoming season of "Big Brother." They'll live together in a two-story house filled with dozens of video cameras as they compete for the half-million dollar grand prize. This season, the "Big Brother" house goes green with some eco-friendly touches. Like organic soap in the bathroom, exercise bikes in the gym that create energy when they're ridden and composting bins in the backyard. Season 11 of "Big Brother" premieres July 9 on CBS. Craig Ferguson - USO Tour ARLINGTON, Virginia U.S. troops in Kosovo and Germany are getting some laughs this week, courtesy of Craig Ferguson. Today's the final day of his USO tour, which started on Monday. He's visited five military bases, doing stand-up and hanging out with hundreds of members of the military. Comedian Matt Baetz is opening for Ferguson on the tour. The two of them were together on a USO tour in November 2006 with Kathy Kinney in the Persian Gulf. Who Will Play Al Franken On SNL? ST. PAUL, Minn. Now that Al Franken is a Senator, the big question is: who will parody him on "Saturday Night Live?" Since he's a former SNL cast member, he could be a prime target to be spoofed on the show. When asked who'd be best for the role, Franken first told The Associated Press it may be Fred Armisen. Then, he said Alec Baldwin might be a better fit. Franken himself parodied a U.S. senator at least once on SNL. He played a Democrat at confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. Karl Malden Obit LOS ANGELES Karl Malden, who made the words "don't leave home without it," a catch-phrase, has died. He was 97 and passed away from natural causes at his home in Los Angeles. "Don't leave home without it" was from his days as a spokesman for American Express. But, as an actor, Malden starred in the 1970s TV show "The Streets of San Francisco" with Michael Douglas. He won an Oscar for supporting actor in 1951 for his role as Blanche DuBois' naive suitor in "A Streetcar Named Desire," a role he also played on Broadway. Malden was nominated again as best supporting actor in 1954 for playing a priest in "On the Waterfront." In both movies, he costarred with Marlon Brando. One of his last acting roles was on "The West Wing." Harve Presnell Obit NEW YORK Good looks and a booming baritone were Harve Presnell's signatures. He died Tuesday of pancreatic cancer at age 75. Presnell starred in both the Broadway and movie versions of "The Unsinkable Molly Brown." He was Daddy Warbucks in "Annie" on tour, and then on Broadway. And, it was Harve Presnell who sang the classic number, "They Call the Wind Maria in "Paint Your Wagon." Although he was best known for his roles in musical theater, Presnell also is remembered as William H. Macy's father-in-law in "Fargo." Read Yesterday's Entertainment News |
