Casey Anthony RELEASED FROM JAIL -- WALKS OUT OF JAIL

Casey Anthony has been freed from jail, 12 days after being acquitted of murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

She walked free from a Florida jail Sunday, three years and one day after she was first arrested for her role in the disappearance and, eventually, death of her 2-year-old daughter.

Throngs of television camera crews and a handful of demonstrators were at hand outside the Orange County jail to witness the release. Most of those who waved placards in the jail parking lot were there to voice their opposition to Anthony's release, but they did so peacefully.

Outnumbered but undaunted, one man held a sign earlier Saturday that read, "Casey, Will You Marry Me." Earlier Saturday, someone toted another sign: "She's not guilty. Get over it."

The Orlando woman's release comes 12 days after a jury acquitted her on murder and child neglect charges. That verdict brought an abrupt end to a six-week trial that drew intense media hype for its elements of family drama and the continued mystery over what happened to young Caylee Anthony.

Justin Timberlake Accepts Marine Ball Invitation

Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis will both be attending the Marine Corps Ball this year -- but not together.

Just days after Mila was asked out, via YouTube, to attend the annual Washington, D.C. event, a servicewoman followed suit and asked her "Friends with Benefits" co-star.

Justin was asked about his invitation at a press conference for the movie yesterday in, where he answered "I'll tell you what: I accept" -- joking that it was "not because she had all those beefcake military guys behind her to intimidate me."

It wasn't a full 100% "Yes" though -- with JT stipulating "If my schedule works out to do it, I'd love to do it. It's an honor."

And while rumors were floating around that Mila would not be able to attend, she clarified yesterday, saying she'll be there and has no idea where the rumors started.

Friday Report: 'Harry Potter' Conjures Opening Day Record

On Friday, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 soared into the record books with the highest-grossing single day ever. The series finale drew an estimated $92.1 million on around 11,000 screens at 4,375 locations, dethroning The Twilight Saga: New Moon's $72.7 million. 

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2's first day flew past the previous franchise high of $61.7 million, posted by Deathly Hallows Part 1 last November. It also thoroughly out-distanced The Twilight Saga: Eclipse ($68.5 million) and The Dark Knight ($67.2 million). Deathly Hallows Part 2 is even the champ in terms of estimated attendance. 

Included in Deathly Hallows Part 2's historic opening day was its record-shattering midnight start of $43.5 million at 3,800 locations, which topped Eclipse's $30 million. That means that Deathly Hallows Part 2 made $48.6 million for the rest of the day, which still beat the midnight-free grosses of New Moon ($46.4 million), Eclipse ($38.5 million) and Deathly Hallows Part 1 ($37.7 million). 

Deathly Hallows Part 2's first day gross alone would rank as the second biggest weekend of 2011 after Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Odds are now that it will easily break The Dark Knight's $158.4 million opening weekend record, though it should be exceptionally front-loaded. Deathly Hallows Part 1's Friday ended up being nearly half of its weekend. If Deathly Hallows Part 2 follows suit, that would mean a weekend gross of $185-190 million.

Casey Anthony's Parents -- No Plans to See Her

Casey Anthony is scheduled to be released from prison tomorrow -- and if you were expecting a tearful reunion with her parents upon her exit ... think again, it's NOT going to happen.

Mark Lippman, a lawyer for Cindy and George Anthony, says his clients have had zero contact with Casey or her lawyers about her impending release.

Lippman says he isn't 100% sure his clients even want to see Casey, but it doesn't even matter. He tells us, "Mr. Baez and Mr. Mason (Casey's attorneys) have made it abundantly clear that their client will not have contact with my clients. We have no idea what the plans are for Casey, so even if she was out of jail we would not know where to contact her to even attempt to set up a meeting."

Cindy tried to visit Casey in prison last week, but Casey wasn't having it.

Jane Fonda -- QVC Kicked Her Off Over Possible Protests

Jane Fonda's controversy in Vietnam is almost 40 years old ... yet she claims QVC canceled her appearance at the last minute because of fears of protests from disgruntled viewers.

Jane was supposed to appear this morning to promote her new book, "Prime Time." But Fonda posted a blog on her site this morning claiming QVC gave her the boot because "they got a lot of calls yesterday criticizing me for my opposition to the Vietnam War and threatening to boycott the show if I was allowed to appear."

For all you youngins ... Fonda was photographed sitting on an anti-aircraft gun during a visit to Vietnam in 1972. The incident has dogged her for years, earning her the nickname "Hanoi Jane."

In her blog, Fonda went on to say, "Bottom line, this has gone on far too long, this spreading of lies about me! None of it is true. NONE OF IT! I love my country. I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us."

JLo Declares Independence from Hubby on July 4th

The Fourth of July is a day when families gather around to BBQ and watch fireworks -- but that wasn't the case this year for Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony.

JLo and the kids spent the holiday at the beach in Malibu -- and Marc Anthony was nowhere in sight. Which was obvious signs of a troubled marriage.

JLo showed up with some family and friends, parked herself on the beach and enjoyed a little vino ... not looking upset at all. What a great actress!

JLo and Marc announced yesterday they were divorcing after seven years of marriage.

Tom Cruise Officially Signs on to Play Jack Reacher in 'One Shot'

When the idea was mooted a few weeks back, it was met with ire by many fans of the book series, who couldn't accept the thought of Cruise playing the 6'5" tough guy.

Expect this news to receive something of a backlash, although Child (the pen name of author Jim Grant) commended the casting, saying: "Reacher's size in the books is a metaphor for an unstoppable force, which Cruise portrays in his own way."

Christopher McQuarrie, director of The Way Of The Gun and screenwriter of The Usual Suspects and Valkyrie, will helm this adaptation.

One Shot is one of 15 Jack Reacher novels written by Child, so there's certainly franchise potential here. It also looks like One Shot will shoot before Cruise goes on to star in Oblivion, a science fiction epic from Joseph TRON: Legacy Kosinski. While Jack Reacher will be a demanding role for Cruise, it could mark a significant new stage in his career if he pulls it off.

Cruise will next be seen in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, and he's currently shooting musical Rock Of Ages, so his recent taste in roles has been nothing if not diverse; is a full-blown comeback in the offing?

Ashlee Simpson SELLS HOME and Leases New Property

CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Who: Ashlee Simpson
Location: Beverly Hills, CA
Price: ????
Size: 4,193 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms

As soon as "singer" and "actress" Ashlee Simpson's nepotistic fame turned into fortune she developed a mad appetite for an a-lister sized mansion.

In June 2005 Miss Simpson threw down $4,500,000 for a substantial gated estate in Encino, CA with a 9,000-plus square foot contemporary crib. Reports from the time show the vast house included a meditation room, a gym with skylights and ballet barre, a sauna and a 2,200 square master suite with a 700-square foot closet. She was just 21 years old at the time.

Miss Simpson only owned the huge house in Encino until October 2006 when she sold the 4 bedroom and 7 pooper pad for $5,700,000 to a Hawaiian businessman who earned a fortune from convalescent homes. That's right, pets, beehawtcha Simpson walked away with a million two in profits (before costs and fees). Not bad for a lip synching sensation with no prior real estate experience. Miss Simpson's real estate luck was, however, about to run bone dry.

The following year, in January 2007, Miss Simpson plunked down $4,500,000 for a somewhat smaller but still gigantic 7,100 square foot mock-Med on star-studded Oak Pass Road in the Beverly Hills Post Office. The house, built in 1992, had once been owned by comedienne Rita Rudner.

Casey Anthony Walks Out of Jail Tomorrow -- SUNDAY

It's been almost two weeks since Casey Anthony was found not guilty of killing her daughter Caylee -- and it seems the American public will never forgive her, and who knows what they have in store for her once she is free to roam the streets.

Although, a lot of Americans are pissed off about her walking free tomorrow, there is nothing they can do about it. The judicial system makes the rules, and so they did.

Casey Anthony had already spent 3 years behind bars, in which that time served was used towards getting out, and good behavior.

TNT cancels 'Men of a Certain Age'

Alan Sepinwall from hitfix.com got off the phone today with "Men of a Certain Age" co-creator Mike Royce.

This is what he had to say....

I feel bad for everybody. I really did honestly think that because TNT had dragged this out, we had a shot. By all rights, if you looked at the numbers, our second week, the numbers took a real dump, even for us. The first deadline was June 15. I give them a ton of credit. It was like they said, "Can we just give them an extension and let them build a case?," and we gave it every chance we had.

They were going to give it every possible chance to build buzz and everything else. They really really tried, I think, in their heart of hearts, to make a case for keeping the show. I bear them no ill will whatsoever. I wish we could continue, but you can't have everything.

405 Freeway OFFICIALLY CLOSED -- Carmageddon SHUT DOWN

The 405 Freeway is now OFFICIALLY shut down, STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY from it. The demolition team is on site now and ready to tear down one half of the Mulholland bridge.

The so called "Carmageddon" has arrived...Part 1 that is. As you have heard for months already the closure of the 405 freeway is now here. Law enforcement officials are saying to stand clear from anywhere near the freeway.

"Survive the 405" is the latest name they have for this freeway closure, and frankly the whole thing is getting annoying. Hopefully it won't be as bad as they have said it will be.

Eva Longoria Goes Lesbian In New Movie Trailer

The trailer for Eva Longoria's latest flick, Without Men, is out and Eva doesn't mind being sans the opposite sex!

In the flick, Longoria plays the mayor of a Latin American village that loses all of its men when they're taken by guerilla revolutionaries. Her character becomes mayor of the town ... and also engages in a lingerie-only scene with co-star Kate del Castillo!

“It was a little difficult as the two girls are both straight so they were very nervous and laughed a lot,” director Gabriela Tagliavini told Fox News. “But I think that just made it even lovelier. [Female audiences] don’t want to watch porn, so it was all very sensual.

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo Are MARRIED

Nick Lachey and are now husband and wife!

The couple got married on Friday night in a small island ceremony in front of 35 family and friends, People exclusively reports.

The ceremony was apparently a surprise.

"Nobody knew where they were going," Minnillo, 30, told People.

"Our wedding invitations were in the form of a plane ticket. We told them they were going away and the attire was ‘island chic.’ It was all very vague," said Lachey, 37. The bride wore a two-piece Monique Lhullier ensemble while Nick Lachey wore a Dolce & Gabbana suit. It is the first marriage for Minnillo and the second for Lachey, who was famously married to Jessica Simpson.

TLC will be televising their wedding in a special entitled "Nick & Vanessa's Dream Wedding," airing on July 30.

Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony have called it quits.

The couple just released a statement, claiming, "We have decided to end our marriage. This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters."

The story was first reported on People.com.

This will be Jennifer's THIRD divorce -- she was first married in 1997 to Ojani Noa, and again in 2001 to her backup dancer Cris Judd. This will be Marc's second divorce.

The couple got married in 2004 in their Beverly Hills home. They have two children.

Marc and JLo renewed their vows just last year on their 6th anniversary -- and back in May, they gave a steamy performance together on the season finale of "American Idol."

Lawsuit: Shaq Told Me to KILL People

Shaquille O'Neal "requested and directed" his former friend to kill several people -- including a gang member, a record producer, and a woman he impregnanted ... those are the shocking allegations in a new lawsuit.

Shaq's former pal Robert Ross, an ex-gang member is suing O'Neal for allegedly masterminding a plot to have him kidnapped by other gang members back in 2008.

In the documents, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Ross claims O'Neal organized and funded a series of murders and brutal attacks on people who did him wrong.

In the suit, Ross alleges, "For many years O'Neal requested and directed [Ross] to perform many personal favors and directed him to perform various tasks including, but not limited to: ordering [Ross] to kill a member of the Downtown Gangster Crips who had disrespected O'Neal in front of his wife Shaunie."

O'Neal is also accused of issuing "an order to kill a woman whom O'Neal had impregnated and paid for her abortion" and "an order to kill a renown record producer."

Ross also alleges that O'Neal issued "an order to break an NBA player's shooting arm."

Ross -- who never says whether the alleged hits were carried out, is suing for unspecified damages.

Shaq's lawyer, Michael J. Kump, says...."The outlandish claims by Robert Ross in his civil complaint are pure fiction.  Shaquille O'Neal befriended Mr. Ross in an attempt to help turn his life around.  Sadly, Mr. Ross abused that friendship again and again. 

Kump adds, "Shaquille's commitment to law enforcement is well-known and documented.  He will not dignify these defamanatory allegations with a response."

Les Hinton Resigns From Dow Jones -- Dow Jones Chief Quits Amid phone-Hacking Scandal

Les Hinton said Friday he is resigning as chief executive of Dow Jones, the latest development in the phone-hacking scandal that already put Rupert Murdoch's News of the World tabloid out of business.
The resignation makes Hinton the second News Corp. (NWSA, Fortune 500) executive to step down Friday. Rebekah Brooks stepped down as CEO of News International, the corporate parent of News of the World, earlier in the day.

• Print

Hinton's decision wasn't necessarily a shock. Before heading up Dow Jones, Hinton preceded Brooks as the executive chairman of News International during the years News of the World was allegedly hacking into voicemails.

Hinton announced his departure in a staff memo, saying it is "a deeply, deeply sad day for me." In a separate letter to Murdoch, he apologized for being "ignorant of" the misconduct at News of the World.
"The pain caused to innocent people is unimaginable," said Hinton. "That I was ignorant of what apparently happened is irrelevant and in the circumstances I feel it is proper for me to resign from News Corp, and apologize to those hurt by the actions of the News of the World."
He added that he had believed the "rotten element at News of the World had been eliminated" by the time he left News International to go to Dow Jones.

Paris Hilton Intruder Stalker Pleads Not Guilty to Stalking

The man who snuck onto Paris Hilton's Hollywood property last year then later  tried to propose to her in February attacked her ex-BF in April ... just pled "not guilty" to two felony stalking charges.

36-year-old James Rainford -- who was most recently arrested last week after allegedly spying on Paris' Malibu Beach home -- also pled not guilty to three misdemeanor counts of disobeying a court order to stay 200 yards away from Hilton.

Rainford is still in custody on $150,000 bail. He's due back in court on July 26th.

The Thing Prequel Gets a Slime-Free First Trailer -- FIRST LOOK

Considering this is from the minds behind the more than decent Dawn Of The Dead remake, we should probably give this new Thing a little slack.

But that’s difficult to do when it sets itself up as nothing more than a retread of John Carpenter’s masterful 1982 scarefest.

Being promoted as a prequel to Carpenter’s film (that's hard to believe considering they didn't even bother changing the title), this new ice-encrusted chiller is helmed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr, and follows the same basic premise.

On the plus side, Mary Elizabeth Winstead (aka Ramona Flowers) appears to hold her own as a Ripley-like flame-throwing heroine. And Joel Edgerton's involved in some capacity.

Check out the trailer below….

Lindsay's Boob -- The Gripping New Photo Shoot at Midnight

CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Lindsay Lohan celebrated her newfound freedom with a death-defying photo shoot  last week in the middle of an L.A. street at midnight with bloody knives and boob grabs.

It's her first photo shoot since the actress got out of house arrest two weeks ago -- taken in the middle of the night inside the famous 2nd Street tunnel in Downtown L.A.

If you're wondering who the dudes are ... it's Lindsay's photog BFF Tyler Shields and Virgin Mobile "Sparah"-half Spencer Falls, who Lindsay was reportedly dating.

For the record -- Lindsay and Spencer are NOT dating. But based on the pics, she's still a real handful.

MLB Offers L.A. Dodgers Bail Out Money

Major League Baseball has just offered the L.A. Dodgers $150 million to keep the team afloat ... TMZ has learned.

According to legal docs filed in the Delaware bankruptcy case, the Dodgers solicited a $150 million loan from Highbridge Capital Management. An investment management company.

MLB objected to the loan, partly because there were strings attached specifically, liens on the Dodgers' assets.

According to the docs, MLB has now offered to make the $150 million loan itself, with more favorable terms, notably an interest rate that is 3% less than Highbridge is offering, and there would be no liens attached.

No word yet on whether the Dodgers will accept the MLB loan.

Barron Hilton Ordered to Pay $4.9 MIL In DUI Crash

Paris Hilton's younger brother Barron has been ordered to shell out $4.9 million to a gas station attendant he struck  back in 2008 ... the same day he was arrested for DUI.

Hilton was sued by Fernando Tellez, who was working at a gas station on Pacific Coast Highway when Barron -- who was 18-years-old at the time -- rolled up in a Mercedes Benz and struck the guy with his ride.

Tellez's attorney claims he suffered "permanent disability" and has been forced to "undergo multiple surgeries and medical procedures" ever since.

Hilton was arrested on suspicion of DUI that day after blowing a .14. He later pleaded no contest to the charge.

Now, an L.A. County Superior Court jury has ordered Hilton to fork over $4.9 in damages.

A source connected with Barron says "We disagree with the jury.  Barron did not strike the attendant.  Barron knows he did wrong. It happened 3 years ago and he's been incredibly responsible ever since."

Artie Lange: Howard Stern Called Me at the Psych Ward

Howard Stern didn't turn his back on Artie Lange when the comic entered treatment last year and in fact, Lange claims, Howard even called him while Lange was in a psych ward.

Lange dropped the Dan Patrick Show a line this morning, claiming, "Howard called me a bunch of times when i was going through the hardest parts of my ordeal. He called me when I was in the psych ward once."

Lange disappeared from the Stern show in January 2010 to deal with a private medical condition.

Lange claims he'd do anything to get back on the Stern show telling DP, "I would vacuum the studio. I would do anything they wanted, I would do it in a heartbeat." Artie's plotting his own return to radio -- a sports show unaffiliated with Stern, but so far, no deal's in place.

Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries: Dueling Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are getting married next month -- which means their wild bachelor and bachelorette parties will be going down any day now.

Kim's family members, including mom Kris Jenner, brother Rob, sisters Khloe and Kourtney and Kourtney's babydaddy Scott Disick, will all be in attendance. Kris' basketball friends are expected to attend his bash.

Kim has a long history with both Tao and Lavo, found at The Venetian and Palazzo, respectively, and has celebrated events at each location over the past five years -- including her 29th and 30th birthdays, a New Year's Eve party and even a bash with ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush.

'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2' conjures up a record-breaking $43.5 million at midnight showings

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 grossed a huge $43.5 million last night during midnight showings in 3,800 locations, shattering the midnight box office record previously held by The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which earned just over $30 million from midnight shows in 2010.

The final picture in the magical franchise topped all other Harry Potter movies’ midnight grosses. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1 earned $24 million at midnight last year, while Half-Blood Prince pulled in $22.2 million. Part 2 also more-than-tripled the $12 million that Order of the Phoenix earned at midnight, and earned almost seven times as much as Goblet of Fire, which grossed $6.3 million at midnight.

Charlie Sheen And Brooke Mueller NOT Back Together

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller are NOT back together.

Despite reports she and her ex-hubby have reconciled, the two aren't an item.
Just days after completing her outpatient rehab program, Brooke was spotted looking disheveled and holding a homemade pipe -- while wearing Sheen's t-shirt and a pair of her sweat pants and high heels. But it turns out the shirt was just an old piece of clothing left behind by the actor, and not a sign the pair are shacking up again.

A source close to Mueller has said:

"Brooke would love to get back together with Charlie but he's not interested. He's ditched his goddesses but apparently he's not ready to take back Brooke."

Brooke recently confessed on The World According to Paris, she's been "hanging out" with her ex-hubby at his mansion since all of his goddess cleared out, and even expressed, "Sometimes I really miss Charlie. I've got confusing emotions."

Martin Scorsese’s Magical Hugo Gets a Trailer -- FIRST LOOK

The first trailer for Martin Scorsese’s magical book adaptation Hugo has been unveiled online.

It starts out as a subdued introduction to the world of Hugo Cabret, then quickly takes a bizarre left turn with an onslaught of action set to the music of 30 Seconds To Mars.

While Asa Butterfield as Hugo makes for something of a plain hero (that’s probably the point), Chloe Moretz slamdunks a British accent (and is cute to boot). Sacha Baron Cohen, meanwhile, sports another nutty accent, but gets away with it in the context of the film. He sort of reminds us of Tim Curry in Home Alone 2.

As Scorsese’s first attempt at a kiddie audience, Hugo definitely has potential – the cinematography is undeniably lush, and there seems to be a decent mystery involved.

Carmageddon SHUTS DOWN 405 Freeway in Los Angeles

They have a name for it: Carmageddon.

They have a plan: Stick close to home, if at all possible.

And they have this: no idea what really will transpire when a 10-mile stretch of Interstate 405 in Los Angeles is shut down for 53 hours starting tonight for a road-improvement project in the ultra-busy Sepulveda Pass in the heart of one of the most car-centric cultures in the world.

"Allow me to be blunt: It's going to be a mess out there," Los Angeles Councilman Zev Yaroslavsky posted on his City Hall website.

"For those of you who think you can outsmart this potential mother of all traffic jams," he added, "my advice is simple: save your gas."

The 405, as it's known in Southern California parlance, is one of the main traffic arteries in Los Angeles. The affected stretch, running from Interstate 10, the Santa Monica Freeway, to Highway 101, the Ventura Freeway, is traveled by an estimated 500,000 vehicles on a typical weekend, including plenty driven by Bay Area residents heading into Dodger territory for vacation. There are no alternative routes nearby that can handle the anticipated overflow, prompting state and regional transportation officials to warn of severe, multihour delays, above and beyond the usual hair-pulling, steering wheel-pounding congestion for which Los Angeles is famous.

Prince William and Kate Anxious to Have Children

In the wake of Prince William and his wife Catherine’s hugely successful North American tour, royal representatives have made it very clear that the newlyweds are heading into a more private, under-the-radar period. The couple are planning to spend the bulk of the next few months at their home in Wales. That would jibe with reports I’m hearing from good royal sources who expect William and Kate will be concentrating on starting a family — right away.

“You have to remember, they have been in a relationship for much of the past nine years,” said a longtime Buckingham Palace insider. “They understand their responsibility to provide royal heirs, but beyond all that — this is a loving couple who are anxious to have children.. It’s something you sense they are really looking forward to enjoying.”

It is understood that both Queen Elizabeth II and her 90-year-old husband, Prince Philip, have made it very clear to William how much they hope to see him provide them with at least one great-grandchild — and very soon.

Brooke Mueller: I'm Off Your Frickin' Airplane!

 

Brooke Mueller got into it Tuesday with the crew of a United jet from L.A. to Cancun, and it's unclear if she was removed from the plane or just got off in a huff.

Just before the plane was about to push back from the gate, Brooke felt nauseous and said she needed to go to the bathroom. The flight attendant told her she could not get up, and things then got heated.

Brooke insisted she had to throw up, but Brooke is telling people the flight attendant rudely replied, "Tough."  Brooke then went ballistic and demanded to get off the plane.  She says her wish was granted.

A witness on the plane said Brooke was "belligerent and cussing out the flight attendant" so she was removed from the plane.

HUGE Porn Star BUSTED for Animal Cruelty

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

The man famous for making backseat love to scores of women on "Bang Bus" is now accused of letting his van get too hot to handle nearly killing 21 animals that were locked inside, including 8 roosters.

46-year-old Raul Armenteros aka Ramon from "Bang Bus", has been charged with 22 counts of animal cruelty ... after police discovered a small zoo of animals locked inside his parked van earlier this week, while it baked under the Miami sun.

According to reports, Armenteros and a friend had locked up 8 roosters, 4 guinea hens, 4 pigeons, 4 goats and 1 duck. The goats were tied up inside plastic bags, and one was dead by the time cops arrived.

Cops arrested Armenteros and his pal on the spot -- and both are currently still in custody on $110,000 bail.

Casey Anthony Advised to Get Plastic Surgery After Release From Prison

Casey Anthony, who was acquitted of all charges having been accused of murdering her two-year-old daughter, is to be released from prison this Sunday. Her advisers are suggesting that she wears a good disguise when she is released. They have even suggested plastic surgery.

Upon her release, having served just under four years in prison, she will be taken to an undisclosed location and Casey Anthony, as we know her, may never be seen again. According to reports Anthony is refusing plastic surgery but her advisers believe she does not realize the hate and passion felt by the American public over this case.

An insider told the Chicago Sun Times that her life will be changed, in comparison to the party girl lifestyle she was used to before her incarceration.

They said the new plans will be "almost as if she was living in a witness protection-like program…There even have been discussions about cosmetic surgery, but Casey has rejected that out of hand."

'Harry Potter' Looks to Shatter Box Office Record With $150M+ Debut

It’s already the biggest franchise in movie history, but the final Harry Potter film is poised to shatter more box office records when it opens this weekend.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” will almost certainly break the record for biggest worldwide opener ever -- the $236 million benchmark set by “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” two years ago.

With a little bit of magic, the Warner Bros. release may even best the $158.4 million “The Dark Knight” made in 2008, and become the biggest domestic debut in history.

As it stands, “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” is on pace to bank north of $150 million domestically, based on studio tracking. It will debut in 4,375 locations, many of which are already reporting sold-out midnight and 3 a.m. screenings. Adding extra gravy to Warner Bros. box-office feast, many of those ticket prices will come at a premium, as "Deathly Hallows: Part 2" will hit 3,000 3D screens. Internationally, Potter will premiere on 19,500 screens in 59 foreign territories such as Russia, Australia and Italy this weekend. It already earned $43.6 million in foreign territories on Wednesday.

For Woody Allen, 'Midnight in Paris' Is No. 1

On Friday, "Midnight in Paris" will become the top-grossing movie of Woody Allen's long career.

For several weeks, the amiable, picturesque comedy, set in the City of Lights and starring Owen Wilson as a would-be novelist who finds a way to slip back to an era he idolizes, has been on track to dethrone "Hannah and Her Sisters" as the biggest grosser in Allen's directorial career, which has lasted for 35 years and 41 films.

When he spoke to TheWrap last week, Sony Pictures Classic co-president Michael Barker called it a best-case scenario that the film would become Allen's top grosser by the end of this week. Now, that will certainly be the case for a movie that he called "the perfect counter-programming for summer entertainment."

Sony aggressively pushed exhibitors to keep the movie on as many screens as possible; at the end of last weekend, it remained on more than 800 screens and had a gross of $38.6 million, putting it ahead of "Annie Hall" ($38.2 million), $1.3 million behind Allen's second-biggest film, "Manhattan," and only $1.5 million behind "Hannah."

This week, the film steadily crept up on the record. It grossed $311,000 on Monday, $367,000 on Tuesday and $320,000 on Wednesday. Thursday's gross should push it right to the verge of the $39.9 million gross for "Manhattan."

On Friday, the film drops to 706 screens, a loss of more than 100 screens but still a substantial total. And even a Friday gross of $300,000 – which would be its smallest Friday total since its first weekend, when the film was on only six screens – would be enough to pass "Hannah and Her Sisters" and make "Midnight" Allen's biggest movie ever.
