Miley Cyrus' Home Gets Broken Into

Miley Cyrus was given the worst birthday gift ever this weekend ... her house was broken into and her stuff stolen.

The break-in occurred Friday afternoon in Studio City - one day before her b-day - when the thief somehow gained access to Miley's home... and made off with some jewelry.

It's unclear how the crook (or crooks) got inside the house ... but cops say they're currently investigating how it all went down.

Thankfully Miley wasn't home when the break-in happened -- and neither was anybody else.

‘Catching Fire’ Burning Up the Box Office with Nearly $150 Million

Updated estimates now have Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” earning very close to $150 million this weekend, making it the biggest bow for a November opener on record, but that is likely to be its only claim.

The hotly anticipated sequel earned $70.5 million domestically, piling Friday grosses on top of an impressive $25.3 million from Thursday night showings. Its early start had “Catching Fire” ahead of its predecessor by about 28%, but that margin is tightening.

“The Hunger Games” earned $67.3 million its opening night, just 5% behind “Catching Fire’s,” and if the sequel is to beat its predecessor, it’ll only do so by a hair’s width. “Hunger Games” bowed to $152.5 million in March of 2012, the sixth highest opening of all time and a thin margin ahead of “Catching Fire’s” three-day domestic estimate.

Overseas is a different story. “Catching Fire’s” current int’l cume is $64 million and more than doubling its predecessor’s take in several markets including the Mexico, Russia, the U.K. and Germany, where its earning four times as much.

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

The "Entourage" movie could be derailed ... because of IDENTITY THEFT!

Sources have obtained a cease and desist letter -- sent to Warner Bros. -- demanding that the studio make NO reference to Vinnie Chase, the main character played by Adrian Grenier. The man making the demand -- one Vincent Chase.

Who knew  ... VC is a real guy -- a longtime Hollywood acting coach who's been teaching actors for more than 50 years.  He reportedly met "Entourage" Exec. Prod. Mark Wahlberg in the late '90s.

In the cease and desist letter Chase says he believes the fictional character was named after him ... and says "Entourage" cannot use his name without his "express permission."

Chase claims he griped to producers when the TV show was on ... lots of letters but no lawsuit.

So far, no comment from Warner Bros.

JFK: 50 Years Later

Fifty years ago today, President John F. Kennedy died, a stunned nation grieved and a million conspiracy theories were born.

It was just after noon local time on Nov. 22, 1963, when the limousine carrying Kennedy entered Dealey Plaza in Dallas, its bubble top down so a smiling president, riding in the back seat with First lady Jackie Kennedy, could wave to an adoring crowd. The boyish president, a World War II Navy hero, author and former U.S. senator from Massachusetts, was just 46 and not quite three years into his first term as commander-in-chief.

"Kennedy had become a talented and incandescent politician. He had developed stage presence and star quality," wrote Thomas E. Cronin, author of "Leadership Matters," in a recent Denver Post editorial. "He served as president just as pride in America was at its peak."

A nation on the cusp of huge cultural shifts that would usher in civil rights for African Americans, the era of hippies, the Vietnam War and more heartbreaking assassinations, was still in an age of relative innocence. "The Andy Griffith Show" played on black and white televisions, a popular hit on solid state radios was "Blue Velvet" and the top movies included "The Great Escape."

Kennedy, in the home state of Vice President Lyndon Johnson, had a busy day lined up. He had spent the night at Hotel Texas in Fort Worth, read the Dallas Morning News — which on that day carried an ad accusing him of treason — and delivered two speeches before boarding Air Force One for a 15-minute flight to Dallas’ Love Field. The motorcade set off, via Main Street in downtown Dallas,  for the Trade Mart, where Kennedy was to deliver yet another speech. He and the first lady planned to spend the night at Johnson’s ranch near Austin.

Liam Hemsworth Is 'Much Happier' After Miley Cyrus

It's been two months since Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus ended their engagement, but the Hunger Games: Catching Fire star says he's doing okay.

"These days I feel like I'm more centered and grounded than I've ever been," he tells the Associated Press.

The actor, who met Cyrus in 2010 on the set of their film The Last Song, admits he's gone through a lot since he moved to Hollywood from his native Australia five years ago.

"I've learned so much," Hemsworth, 23, says. "The first few years in L.A. were really tough and scary, but I had to figure things out for myself."

And that meant learning to deal with all the media attention during his relationship with Cyrus, 20, and after their relationship ended in September following cheating rumors.

Paramount: Not So Fast on ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ Sequel

Paramount Pictures has slammed the brakes on plans by independent producers to mount a sequel to Frank Capra’s iconic Christmas tale “It's a Wonderful Life.”

The studio said that Star Partners and Hummingbird Prods. have not obtained the sequel rights to the movie, which starred Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.

“No project relating to ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ can proceed without a license from Paramount,” a Par spokesman said. “To date, these individuals have not obtained any of the necessary rights, and we would take all appropriate steps to protect those rights.”

Rko Pictures released the movie in 1946. Paramount owns the copyright due to its 1998 acquisition of Spelling Entertainment and its Republic Pictures subsidiary, which had been the owner of the rights to the original 1939 story “The Greatest Gift.”

The sequel, titled “It’s a Wonderful Life: The Rest of the Story,” is being financed by Allen J.

Former Child Star Aaron Carter Is Bankrupt

 

Having a famous name doesn't always mean there's money in the bank.

Former kid pop star Aaron Carter, 25, has filed for bankruptcy, claiming to have tax and credit debts exceeding $3.5 million while possessing just $8,232.16 in assets — just $977.16 of that in accessible cash, according to documents obtained by sources.

Carter, the younger brother of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, says in his court filing, dated Oct. 23, that he owes $2,204,654 to creditors, including a $1,307,648 income tax debt to the IRS, and a $31,166 American Express bill.

"Aaron filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection to alleviate past issues in an effort to move forward with his life and career," his rep tells sources, in a statement. "The overwhelming majority of the debt he is asking to be discharged is from more than 10 years ago when he was a minor and not in control of his finances.”

Chapter 7 is the most aggressive form of bankruptcy, requiring liquidation of most assets, and absolving the petitioner of the bills they owe (aka creditors will not recover the funds). The big downside is that a filing for Chapter 7 will stay on one's credit report for 10 years.

Katy Perry Loves John Mayer "Unconditionally" In New Music Video

Katy Perry is debuting her new video of "Unconditionally," which is chock full of couture clothes and an obvious ode to her main man, John Mayer.

Showcasing a bevy of gorgeous dresses, the 29-year-old croons in a setting that seems to be reminiscent of 19th century Russian ball. The video comes as a departure from her bubble-gum narrative videos that the pop princess has become known for.

It feels like this is going to crash and burn much like your over-the-top, whirlwind relationship to Russell Brand.

Chris Brown Ordered To Anger Management Rehab for 90 Days

Chris Brown just got confined for 90 days ... but not in jail ... in rehab.

Brown and his lawyer, Mark Geragos, were just in court for a progress report in the Rihanna beating case. The Probation Dept. notified the judge that Brown flew into yet another violent rage while he was in a Malibu rehab joint for anger management, and was thrown out of the facility after only 2 weeks. The Probation Dept. recommended live-in anger management rehab.

The judge agreed with Probation, and ordered Brown to check into a facility for 90 days, and the facility must be in L.A. County and approved by Probation.

The judge is letting Chris juggle his criminal cases and will let him fly to D.C. for court hearings on his criminal assault case.

Brown must also submit to drug testing at the rehab facility.  He must also take any prescriptions recommended by the rehab place.

The judge also wants a report on the D.C. incident ... something that could result in Chris getting his probation yanked in the Rihanna case ... which could then result in prison time.

Chris Brown was in Malibu for rehab last month, and he enjoyed his stay in the coastal community so much he's reportedly made an offer on a home in a gated community there. But what's going to happen to his two Hollywood homes?

Chris Brown's WeHo condo has already been on the market since May 2012, (the initial listing price was $1.895 million, but it's now $1.695 million), but then there's the issue of the three bedroom, three bathroom Hollywood Hills pad he bought in 2011 for $1.55 million.

Jimmy Kimmel Makes Barbara Walters Squirm

"The View" is in the Southland this week, running the daytime chat show from Disneyland. And in a bit of intra-network promotion, Jimmy Kimmel appeared on the show, and Barbara Walters in turn appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." Walters has interviewed hundreds of people in her career, including every U.S. president since Nixon, but there was just one question Kimmel wanted the answer to: Which current or former co-host of "The View" was Walters' least favorite?

Walters is heading toward retirement in May 2014, so she's got no reason not to throw a few grenades at this point of her career. But she did her best to sidestep Kimmel's question. Lucky for the at-home viewer, Kimmel decided to do a little Walters-style hardball in his interview tactics.

Ricky Martin SELLING New York City Condo For $8.3 Million

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Ricky Martin snapped up a new pad in NYC almost exactly a year ago, and now it looks like he's finally ready to kiss his old one goodbye!

The singer has listed his 2,637-square-foot Greenwich Village residence for $8.3 million, which is a bit more than the $5.7 million he paid for it back in 2007. The condo has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, and according to listing info, boasts "magnificent light and city views through 11 foot operable floor-to-ceiling windows."

The floors, kitchen, and master bathroom are finished in Austrian smoked oak treated with natural oil and the master bathroom includes wet room in seamless Corian embossed with the building's signature graffiti pattern. And the building matters, as it is one of the Ian Schrager-developed and Herzon & de Meuron-designed cast iron high rises.

Martin put the apartment up for lease in early 2010 at $23,000 per month and again in March of 2012 for $29,500, later reduced to $28,000.
