Singer doesn’t directly address controversial photos at show.
By MTV News staff
Miley Cyrus thanked fans for their support at her performance on Saturday at KIIS-FM’s Wango Tango show in Irvine, California.
“We’re all changing,” the 15-year-old singer told the crowd, according to People.com. “I thank you for helping me as I grow through that.”
During her 30-minute set, Cyrus didn’t directly address the racy photos that appeared in Vanity Fair and on the Internet, the site reported, and managed to avoid speaking with reporters by not walking the event’s red carpet. But, as she did last weekend at her Disney Games appearance in Orlando, Florida, she thanked fans for supporting her “through everything that’s been going on in life.”
Late last month, the singer issued a statement apologizing both for controversial photos she’d taken privately, depicting her in her bra and panties, and for those she’d taken for the Vanity Fair spread. Cyrus, who expressed embarrassment over the pictures, appeared to be topless in the images, which were shot by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz.

Hack Jimmy Fallon, who couldn’t get through a SNL skit without cracking up, to take over for Conan on ‘Late Night’
May 12, 2008
One of the worst-kept secrets in TV was announced Monday: Jimmy Fallon will take over the hosting duties of “Late Night” when Conan O’Brien leaves for “Tonight.”
“He is a handpicked talent, part of the NBC family already,” NBC entertainment chief Ben Silverman said Monday afternoon in a news conference at the Top of the Rock above NBC’s 30 Rockefeller Center headquarters.
Fallon will take over “Late Night” in 2009, though neither he nor producing partner Lorne Michaels committed to a date. It will remain in New York City, and Michaels said there would be further announcements about casting down the road. It will also air five nights a week. Michael said they were talking to one executive producer candidate in particular but he declined to discuss who.
“It’s a comedian’s dream to get his job, to work with writers and try to be funny every night,” Fallon said. Fallon said he wasn’t kidding himself, though: He knows it’s going to be hard work, every night, and that sometimes jokes will fall flat. His wife also has no illusions. “She left me a note this morning saying, ‘Nice knowing you,’ ” he said.

Michael Jackson gets to keep Neverland Ranch
May 12, 2008
Pop star Michael Jackson sidestepped a foreclosure auction of his Neverland Ranch after an investment company bought the loan on the troubled Los Olivos property, a spokeswoman said Sunday.
The loan purchase by Colony Capital LLC was the latest deal to keep the 2,500-acre ranch from being sold off.
In March, Jackson, 49, reached an agreement with his creditors, Fortress Investment Group, to postpone an auction until this week.
Colony spokeswoman Caroline Luz said the auction has now been canceled.
In a statement released by a Jackson spokesman, who identified himself as B. Michael, the pop star said he was “pleased with recent developments involving Neverland” that would “allow me to focus on the future.”

Actor Dennis Farina booked in weapons case
May 12, 2008
Dennis Farina is a bum shot.
Still, Los Angeles International Airport police took no chances Sunday with the former “Law and Order” actor, who was teased for his poor shooting skills during his earlier career as a Chicago police officer.
Farina, 64, was booked in a felony case after LAX screeners found a loaded handgun in his briefcase as he prepared to board a plane.
The actor, who is often cast as a foul-mouthed mobster or cop, was contrite when he told airport police and FBI agents that he had forgotten he put the .22-caliber semi-automatic weapon in the case, authorities said. He spent most of the day in a Van Nuys jail and was released on $35,000 bail.
“He was apologetic and very cooperative, and he said he understood what was going to happen,” said LAX Police Sgt. Jim Holcomb.
Farina had no permit for the gun, and it was not clear why he was carrying it. A representative for the actor could not be reached.

Lost secrets revealed by Damon Lindelof
May 11, 2008
ABC has found more hours for the final two seasons of “Lost.”
The 2009 and 2010 editions of the hit drama will be 17 hours each — not 16 as previously planned.
ABC has added two hours to the show’s production plan because the WGA strike knocked three hours out of the current season. To partly compensate, the network recently added an additional hour to Part 2 of the season finale that airs May 29.
All told, the changes will wrap up the show with the same number of episodes that producers and ABC negotiated last year.
“We were supposed to do 16-16-16,” “Lost” co-creator Damon Lindelof said. “But we ended up doing 14 this season, so we owe two.”
Lindelof, however, ruled out the show extending beyond the remaining 34-episode order.
“(Executive producer) Carlton Cuse and I worked so hard to get the show to end that I think to suddenly say, ‘Oh, I think we got another season in us’ would be a betrayal to everybody involved in the show — but most of all the audience,” he said. “It’s better to retire your number at the top of your game.”
For the upcoming season finale, Lindelof promised a more action-driven cliffhanger instead of the mind-bending flash-forward time shift that stunned fans last season.
“The finale this year will not be as tricky as last year,” he said. “Hopefully, this year it’s a little bit more of a straightforward action-adventure narrative. But the ending of the episode will hopefully engage and intrigue people looking forward to the next season of the show.”

Katherine Heigl a not ready for prime time player
May 8, 2008
Just weeks after “Grey’s Anatomy” returned with new episodes, sources are saying Katherine Heigl is itching to hang up her scrubs. “She’s working really long hours and is ready to move on,” a source close to the actress told Us Weekly. “She’s a smart one. She saw what can happen with someone like Jennifer Aniston, who was crazy successful on TV, but can’t seem to carry a film, and she tested the waters early,” said a movie industry source.
Even so, Heigl might be locked into “Grey’s” a bit longer. “I don’t think she’ll be able to get out of it,” the US source said of Heigl’s contract.

Perez Hilton jumps shark, then designs clothing line for said shark
May 8, 2008
Notorious blogger and “Queen of All Media,” Perez Hilton, can now also call himself a “designer.”
On Tuesday, Perez announced plans to introduce a clothing and accessories line, to be sold exclusively at Hottopic.com and in all Hot Topic stores nationwide.
Perez Hilton for Hot Topic will feature women’s t-shirts, hoodies, accessories and footwear. Hilton, who’s real name is Mario Lavandeira, said the decision to put his name behind a line of clothing and accessories seemed like a natural next step.
“2008 is all about expanding the Perez Brand,” the blogger explained. “I talk about clothes all the time on my website. I have a good eye for what’s hot and what’s not.”

Doctors say Suri Cruise is too old for a bottle
May 7, 2008
Get Suri a sippy cup, doctors say.
The 2-year-old — who was spotted sucking away on Monday in NYC — is too old for a bottle.
“Most pediatricians recommend a bottle should be given up by age 1 — almost certainly by 18 months,” Dr. Charlotte Cowan, author of the Dr. Hippo book series, tells Usmagazine.com.
Suri’s constant traveling could play a factor.
“When babies are challenged, their diet is upset, their sleep is upset,” Cowan says. “They will regress back to previous habits … lingering with a bottle is comforting. You could argue that her parents have decided that this is not the time to try to wean her off if they’re traveling frequently.”
Cowan advises Tom and Katie try to “distract [her] with something that might be more appealing, like a sippy cup.”

No shit. Lindsay Lohan steals a college girl’s jacket….
May 7, 2008
A Columbia co-ed wants to know how Lindsay Lohan ended up wearing her $11,000 blond mink coat - and is demanding the “Mean Girl” pay for the impromptu rental.
Masha Markova, 22, believed she had forever lost the prized jacket - a gift from her grandmother - while attending a private birthday party at 1Oak in the Meatpacking District in the early-morning hours of Jan. 26.
The club was closed for a friend of jet-setting playboy Stavros Niarchos, Markova said.
She added that at one point, she was seated next to Lohan, and recalled putting the mink in a common bin with other jackets.
It was gone when she prepared to leave 1Oak after an hour, Markova said.
Two weeks later, Markova flipped through the Feb. 11 edition of OK! Magazine and couldn’t believe her eyes - Lohan was photographed the night of Jan. 26 wearing the very same fur coat.
“I was actually talking on the phone to my grandmother about something else, and then I flipped through the magazine, saw the picture said, ‘I need to call you back,’ ” Markova told The Post yesterday.
“It was my coat. It was no doubt!”

The evil continues… Ryan Seacrest may replace Larry King…
May 7, 2008
Ryan Seacrest might be adding hosting duties of another kind to his schedule in 2009. A source from within CNN says that Seacrest, who has filled in for his friend Larry King in the past, is involved in “serious negotiations” to take over “Larry King Live” around year’s end. King told The New York Times in April 2007 that Seacrest would be his first choice to take over the show when the time came. - From MSNBC
