10 hours ago | | See recent news »

The Palm Springs desert is pretty dry. Mariah Carey, we're not so sure about. The Grammy-winning diva turned Precious actress was honored with a Breakthrough Performance Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival last night, and she was clearly in, um, high spirits when she accepted her award from director Lee Daniels. "Oh my goodness," she said, before turning her attentions to the filmmaker, who had casually referred to her as "Mariah-kitten." "Ha, ha, ha! I don't think they understand the kitten and cotton thing," she giggled. "Ok, I love you," she went on before hugging Daniels yet again. "I have to say, this is…and please forgive me »

Charlie Sheen is no longer a good fit for Hanes undershirts. The actor's Christmas Day arrest on domestic violence charges sent his sponsor scrambling to pull commercials featuring him and basketball star Michael Jordan over the holidays. The ads for the "Comfortsoft" line of Hanes undershirts were last scheduled to air on Jan. 1 of this year, according to a Hanesbrands spokesperson, but after the arrest most of the commercials disappeared. "We suspended the commercials on Dec. 28," spokesman Matthew Hall says. "Some were seen on the 25th, 26th, 27th as we could not reach the networks over the holiday weekend."Sheen's »

6 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Carrie Underwood joins the ranks of Rachel Bilson and Stacy Keibler with a guest appearance on How I Met Your Mother later this year, according to People. She's set to play "an enigmatic pharmaceutical sales rep and love interest for Ted." I'm neutral on Carrie Underwood, and Himym has been pretty good at figuring out what to do with its guest stars, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. But man, this show does not need a storyline that pulls Ted away from the rest of the group. The best episodes of Himym always involve everyone, though Marshall »

Contrary to reports stating otherwise, Tom Cruise will not be costarring in the forthcoming Taylor Lautner action flick Northern Lights.

According to a tweet, of all things, from Production Weekly, James Franco has signed on to take the starring role in Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours, a true-life tale about Aron Ralston, a mountaineer who lost his right arm in a climbing accident in 2003.Ralston had been climbing in a canyon in Utah when a loose boulder pinned his right arm against a rock wall. He remained rooted to the spot for, well, 127 hours until he finally – and you may want to look away now if you hate spoilers or have a sensitive disposition – hacked off his arm with a dull knife, then scramble down a 65-foot wall and hike to safety beneath the baking Utah sun. In other words, the man has balls of steel, as well as a nifty new prosthetic arm.Ralston’s is clearly an inspirational tale that should make for a great movie – not to mention a wonderful role, »
