Entertainment Roundup is a day late, sorry about that everyone. Had a terrible time sorting through the news that I found and was sent to us and find things that were NOT Britney or stars in Rehab related.

will she really get the help she needs?

It seems that Brit Brit may finally get the help she so desperately needs. After a little stand off on Thursday, police whisked her off to a psychiatric ward and is under the care of Doctors. Britney Spears was accompanied by more then a dozen police officers in an effort to “get help” for the troubled star as one officer described it. This is Spears’ second 72-hour commitment in four weeks, but her previous stay lasted less then two days and was followed by even more crazy. The law allows a person to be placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold for up to 72 hours if they are believed to be a danger to themselves or others.

When asked if her daughter was all right, Lynne Spears replied “Yeah”. Under the law, doctors may keep an individual under round-the-clock observation but may not medicate the person without his or her permission unless there appears to be grave danger, said Dr. Bruce Spring, assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at the University of Southern California.

Update: Lynne and Jamie Spears, Britney’s parents, won the first tug-o-war contest. Osama Lufti has a restraining order against him and is not allowed anywhere near Britney. Britney and her estate were placed under Jamie’s temporary conservatorship by Court Commissioner Reva Goetz. The order, which only lasts through the weekend, gives the father control over his troubled 26-year-old’s treatment and her finances, and a say in who can have access to her home and hospital room.

Who would you Shag, Marry, Conjoin With or Kill?

Spanking, dirty word games, arguments over who would sleep with whom, the original vampire slayer, lesbians and marriage proposals — you put that all together and you get what? Exactly, you get a celebrity party coverage like never seen before.

Sarah Warn, owner of AfterEllen.com, gave Bridget McManus (Brunch with Bridget) and Karman Kregloe (We’re Getting Nowhere) a microphone and a camera to cover the Hollywood screening of 3Way and hilarity ensued.

To find out who got spanked (and who did the actual spanking), and other hilarious ‘confessions’ hop on over to AfterEllen.com and check out the video.

Michelle Williams Speaks Out

Michelle Williams is speaking publicly for the first time since Heath Ledger’s tragic death last week and released a statement via her publicist on Friday.

“Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken. I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up with the best memories of him.”

Another star in rehab, yes, yes, yes

The latest star to have checked into rehab is Eva Mendes. Reports suggest the Hitch star is battling substance abuse issues and was, according to TMZ.com, admitted to Cirque Lodge last month, the same Utah rehab facility where Lindsay Lohan spent last summer.

Though Mendes’ publicist has confirmed the actress is seeking treatment, she has refused to state the exact reason of her stay. “Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to pro actively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support. Out of respect for Eva’s privacy, we do not wish to discuss further details.”

By the end of 2008 we’ll be talking about how many times the stars have been in and out of rehab instead of what they’ve achieved career wise.

Jorja Fox to return to CSI

On a very happy note. Jorja Fox will be returning to CSI. Jorja was on KTLA’s “Morning Show” to promote her play “Stay Forever”, and to drop some news about “CSI”

Jorja Fox: And I will be, there will be a moment, I will return. (gasp from somebody off camera) I can’t tell you when or why or how…
Interviewer: Oh like in a box, or what’s the first thing…
Jorja Fox: Uh, I can’t tell you, very secretive…

Yes, Yes! Rejoice! Be happy, dance around and all that stuff. This also mean that it is highly likely we will be getting GSR back. While I am not completely against the relationship, I’d rather see her come back to break it off with Grissom and ride off into the sunset with Catherine. Or you know, just break it off with Grissom and hook up with Catherine and have them stay on the show.

What? A girl can dream, can’t she?

Terribly sorry that this is a short one. Next week will be longer, promise.

Before we forget

Be sure to check back somewhere in the weekend for the Dutch Idol review.

A new weekly column will be added to the site soon. Two crazies are going to talk about anything and everything, absolutely hilarious!

Heath Ledger Dies at 28

Heath Ledger, 28, was found dead in a Lower Manhattan apartment. Police spokesman Paul Browne said that “This is being looked at as a possible overdose, but that is not confirmed yet.” Though sleeping pills and other prescription medication were found nearby Heath’s body, the untimely death of the young and talented actor remains a mystery still; the autopsy performed on Heath’s body was inconclusive and the wait is now on the Toxicology report, which is due back in two weeks.

The Police said there was no suicide note and they did not suspect foul play.

Kim Ledger, Heath’s father, spoke to reporters in their home country, Australia, a day after his son’s death; asking for privacy and to let his family grieve. Though he has not appeared on camera since, Kim Ledger and his family (Heath’s mother, and two sisters) wrote touching tributes in the Friday edition of the West Australian newspaper.

“How do we describe our sudden and tragic loss? … You were the most amazing individual “old soul” in a young man’s body.You so loved us, as we dearly loved you. As a close knit and very private family unit we have observed you so determined yet quietly traveling in your self-styled path in life, nothing would get in your way … no mountain too tall, no river too wide.

You dreamed your dreams and lived them with passion and intelligent commitment. We have been privileged to accompany you on a ride through life that has simply been amazing and through it all, we have loved each other beyond imagination.

Your true legacy lives on in beautiful little Matilda, who will always remain in the greatest of care. Our hearts are broken . . . Dad and Ines, Mum and Roger, Kate and Nathan, Rori and Scarlett, Ashleigh, Olivia, Elana and Nadia.”

Michelle Williams, mother of Heath’s 2-year-old daughter Matilda, arrived in Brooklyn Wednesday night from Trollhattan, Sweden, where she was on location shooting the upcoming film Mammoth. Clutching her 2-year-old tight against her she rushed inside the house where her mother and her best friend Busy Phillips were reportedly waiting for her and is said to be “devastated” and “in her own world” after hearing of Heath’s untimely death.

Since Thursday dozens of photographers have gathered outside the funeral parlor where Heath’s body was taken and where a private viewing for family and friends will be held. Ledger’s family and Michelle Williams are said to be amongst those expected.

The funeral home and the Australian consulate in New York declined to comment on Friday, saying it was a private matter. After the viewing, Heath’s family will be taking his body back home to Perth, Australia.

She finally went to rehab.. Yes, Yes, Yes

In a move that was long overdue, troubled singer Amy Winehouse finally checked herself into rehab. After photographs of Amy smoking crack were published in the U.K. earlier this week her record label Universal, her management, family members and doctors called a meeting last Thursday with Amy.

A statement from Universal reveals that Amy’s rehab stint is a bid to help her kick her drug dependence in time to appear at the Grammy Awards in Lost Angeles on February 10th.

“Amy Winehouse’s planned appearance at the NRJ Awards in France on Saturday has been canceled as the artist has entered a rehabilitation clinic. Amy decided to enter the facility today after talks with her record label, management, family and doctors. She has come to understand that she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction and prepare for her planned appearance at the Grammy Awards. Amy entered the facility by mutual agreement and continues to receive the full support of all concerned.

Amy is the most talented and important musical artist of her generation and has made huge strides on her road to recovery. Universal Music Group wants nothing more than to see her take the time she needs to come back to full health and fulfill her incredible potential with the label. All concerned feel that Amy must put her health before all other considerations and will be by her side whenever and wherever they are needed.”

Most talented and important musical artist of her generation? Eh? She is perhaps ONE of them, but most certainly not THE most important and talented.

Lily Allen Suffers a Miscarriage

Starting off with some sad news; Lily Allen suffered a miscarriage, reportedly after coming back from a romantic getaway at the Maldives, Allen’s publicist have confirmed. “We can confirm that Lily Allen has suffered a miscarriage… and we ask that her privacy be respected at this difficult time.”

A source tells the Sun (who first broke the news), that the couple “are in a state of shock. The bad news has been really difficult for them to take and they are both absolutely heartbroken. Lily’s entire outlook on life changed after she found out she was pregnant. She was looking forward to being a mum and starting a family with Ed. She had turned her back on her party girl image and turned over a new leaf.”

The singer confirmed the news of her unplanned but welcome pregnancy in December, a month after she learned she was expecting.

Brad Renfro Dead at 25

Star of films such as ‘The Client’, and the upcoming ‘The Informers’ died of, as of yet, unknown causes on Jan 15th 2008. The young star had several arrests under his belt for, amongst others, driving mishaps, but that is not how acting legend Sir Ian McKellen will remember him; the actor paid tribute to his co-star of the 1998 film Apt Pupil.

McKellen wrote on his blog: “I first caught sight of Brad Renfro when he was kicking a football around with Bryan Singer on the half-built set of Apt Pupil in Hollywood. He was a kid having fun and that’s how I shall always remember him. But he was more than that. He was a proper actor and when we worked together he was determined to be accepted as such.

On set, he was blusteringly confident although it was obvious he would have benefited from training as an actor. Yet, as Todd, the disturbed teenager in Apt Pupil, he tapped into an inner demonic world and carried the film on his young shoulders. He longed to belong in the alien world which perhaps in the end overwhelmed him.

He was only 25 and it is dreadful we shan’t see all that he might have achieved.”

The hottest Lesbian Comedy NOT on TV

A new web comedy series is coming online in just two weeks. And it is quite the three way (okay, four way, there’s four characters). Maeve Quinlan (South Of Nowhere) and Jill Bennett (Dante’s Cove, We’re Getting Nowhere) star along side Cathy Shim and Maile Flanagan.

3Way is an online comedy about a straight women, her lesbian roommate who invites her girlfriend to live with them and has an ex lurking around. “Each episode is 5-7 minutes long and will be posted every Monday with one or two “confessionals” (which are about the same length, but shot more in a talking-to-the-camera style)” They told AfterEllen.com.

And if the webisodes are half as funny as the behind-the-scenes footage Sarah Warn from AfterEllen.com shot, then we are in for a good run. Check out the footage below.

Let’s not forget the posters with funny quotes either. My favorite is Andrea (Jill Bennett)

Be sure too hop over to the official site and check out the rest.

Sniffing that white powder again?

In yet another display of her downfall; Amy Winehouse was spotted with white powder in her nose before turning her car into a changing room and changed her trousers in full view of photographers. Earlier on Wednesday she denied reports that the bag of white stuff in her car was cocaine and were in fact “the driver’s hand towels.”

They need to make her go to rehab, yes yes yes…

I have no idea why people are still boosting about her. I mean sure, she’s got the voice, but I need the entire package to work and someone please make her eat something.

Get that booty over here!

Jennifer Love Hewitt was having a nice little vacation on Hawaii to celebrate her recent engagement, when photos of her splashing about in the water emerged on the Internet and received some not so nice comments about her bikini clad body. Jennifer lashed out at them on her MySpace blog;

“What I should be doing is celebrating some of the best days of my life and my engagement to the man of my dreams, instead of having to deal with photographers taking invasive pictures from bad angles. I know what I look like, and so do my friends and family. And like all women out there should, I love my body.”

You go girl! Tell ‘em how it is. You’re looking mighty fine and a little more ass don’t hurt no one, just a bit more to grab on to!

Celeb Quote of the week
Jennifer Love Hewitt
“A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn’t make you beautiful.”

Is it getting hot in here? Or is it just Jill, Cathy and Ashleigh?

In their Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever. column this week, AfterEllen.com posted exclusive photos of upcoming movie And Then Came Lola.

All but one are from the movie; the one that isn’t made me tingly all over. Ashleigh Sumner, Jill Bennett and Cathy DeBuono did a photo shoot together and had one heck of an outcome. Not to mention I have a huge thing for brunettes. Click here to go to AfterEllen.com and check out the photos.

Also, AfterEllen.com reported that Cathy DeBuono will be doing a weekly ‘Ask Cathy’ video blog. Not only is miss DeBuono a hot actress, she also has a master’s degree in clinical psychology. She’s got the looks and the brains.

If AfterEllen.com keeps it up with these VLogs, who needs TV? Well actually they do to do these Vlogs, but yeah… moving on now…
