My Boys star Kyle Howard, aka The Hills star Lauren Conrad’s boyfriend, kicks his legs up during the 10 Items or Less celebrity bagging competition during The Comedy Festival at Caesars Palace on Friday in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Kyle, 30, plays Bobby Newman, a sportswriter for the Chicago Tribune, in the TBS sitcom My Boys . He came out to support 10 Items Or Less, which is a partly scripted, partly improvised comedy series also on TBS.

Audrina recently spilled the reason why we don’t see Kyle on The Hills.

Taylor Swift runs through her secret performance onstage during the 2008 American Music Awards rehearsals held at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on Friday in Los Angeles.

The 18-year-old country cutie recently told CMT that she reads JustJared.com to “see what’s going on with celebrities. I like to have things to talk about. It’s not like you can just make movies and sing songs and people aren’t going to want to know who you’re dating and where you’re eating. I’m curious about that too. I’ll admit that.”

She also mentions that she doesn’t pay attention to the haters: “I just try to ignore the ‘I hate her, she’s ugly’ ones. When people can be anonymous, they’re vicious and it’s like sixth grade stuff like on crack. It’s terrible.”

Below is a video Taylor just made, showing some of the highlights from the release week of her #1 album in the country, Fearless. Celebrities that hold up the #1 sign in support of Taylor: Kid Rock, Kellie Pickler, Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff, Snoop Doff, Nelly, Good Charlotte, Fall Out Boy, Ludacris, Diddy, Kenny Chesney, Vanessa Minnillo and Reba McEntire.

#1 with a bullet.

Zac Efron and Leonardo DiCaprio sit next to each other as they watch the Los Angeles Lakers defeat the Denver Nuggets, 104-90, at Staples Center on Friday in Los Angeles.

The 21-year-old teen heartthrob and 34-year-old former teen heartthrob sat next to each other and shared many laughs together throughout the night. Look. They’re even folding their hands the same way! Seems like Leo passed on the teen hearthrob crown to Zac tonight!

Maybe Leo worships Zac after all.

Last month, Zac talked about transitioning from poster boy to Oscar contender. He said, “I would love to just sit down and talk with Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp and pick their brains about their early careers. They do it because they love it, not because they enjoy being famous.”

Looks like Zac got his wish!

Also sitting next to Leo was Entourage star Kevin Connolly.

No Doubt has released a new promo pic on their official website, which also has a scrolling “instant messenger chat conversation” between all of its bandmates (Gwen Stefani, Tom Dumont, Tony Kanal, Adrian Young). Here’s a sampling:

Gwen: “I think we should go out now, I don’t think we should wait. Pack up the babies and get a bunch of nannies. So fun! Would be so spiriting to get out there and play all those songs again. I think that if we go on roue, it will inspire us to write. I need to see the fans out there.”

Tony: “I’m down to play. We need to play. It’s been too long… ND 2009… I’ll call management. It’s time to play.”

In an interview with The New York Times magazine, Jennifer Aniston talks about Blackberrys, FunnyOrDie.com, YouTube, Facebook, and the Nintendo Wii.

Has Internet stardom become oppressive to you? Here’s where I luck out: I’m really computer illiterate. When I see people on their BlackBerrys, working them like some girls work a hair dryer, I’m just stunned. People have sent me clips from FunnyOrDie.com or YouTube, but I never seek it out. I did love that little girl in the Will Ferrell landlord clip on FunnyOrDie, but I’m content with just checking my e-mail.

What about something like Facebook? It’s not for me. I’d be opening myself up too much. I don’t want to sound like a complete innocent — I’ve looked at things, of course. But it’s such spewing. If I look at it, I’ll be affected. It’s like dancing with the devil. But I have spent hours on FirstDibs.com, looking at furniture. And I like to play Scrabble. And poker. I discovered [Nintendo] Wii this weekend. I’m a late bloomer.

Was it nice to be back on the small screen [for 30 Rock]? The whole experience felt like fate. I was flying into New York and I thought, I want to work in New York again. The next day they called and asked if I wanted to do an episode of “30 Rock,” which tapes in New York. And it was so much fun. So I guess, with screens, like everything else, size doesn’t matter.

Just so you know, the Wii was released over two years ago!!! Anyone want to bet John Mayer introduced her to the Wii? Read the full article at NYTimes.com.

Britney Spears will fly to Germany on Monday for a mini-tour before her new album Circus is officially released, Para Todos magazine exclusively reveals to JustJared.com.

Britney’s upcoming MTV documentary, Britney: For the Record, premieres next Sunday, Nov. 30 @ 10PM ET/PT.

She shares that she married Kevin Federline for the wrong reasons: “Your music is a reflection of what you’re going through. It’s such a part of me, the record, because of what I’ve gone through. I think I married for the wrong reasons. Instead of following my heart and doing what made me really happy, I just did it for the sake of the idea of everything.”

Larry Hackett, managing editor for People magazine, just sent this email to staffers to address the recent NYTimes piece titled “Angelina Jolie’s Carefully Orchestrated Image”:

“I don’t normally address press stories about how we do our business here at People. But today’s New York Times pg. 1 story about Angelina Jolie requires a response. In the lede, the story strongly suggests that People, while negotiating for the twins pictures, had explicit conversations about our “editorial plan” and made ‘a promise’ that coverage would be positive.

“These sorts of stories have appeared in media gossip columns before. I have ignored them in the past as the unfortunate fallout of competition and sour grapes. But today’s story, in a much different venue, takes these rumors to a new level, so let me be absolutely clear: The suggestion that we have ever made any promise of positive coverage, or have submitted an editorial plan, is completely false. That I or anyone else would promise, on paper or verbally, to purposely slant coverage as condition for acquiring pictures, is insulting to all of us.

“Here’s what is true: Celebrities-and senators and business executives and athletes-are always trying to bend stories their way. We deal with that pressure every single day and engage in many conversations regarding all elements of coverage. Angelina Jolie is very candid about wanting attention for her charitable efforts, and we have covered many of them because we believe they are interesting stories. But in doing so, we have never relinquished editorial control. There have been occasions when her goals and our needs could not be reconciled, and we have walked away, as we have with countless other story subjects.

“In our coverage of both celebrities and everyday people, People certainly often celebrates their accomplishments and milestones. To say that our coverage of Angelina Jolie has not been admiring would be disingenuous. But the suggestion in today’s Times that this ‘positive’ coverage is codified and promised is totally bogus, and needs to be rejected.”
