The actors stopped by the White House to discuss Important World Issues.

Did you feel that shudder the other day — as though the Earth momentarily shifted off its axis, heaving with a slight but powerful sigh? No, it wasn’t a fault line erupting. It’s merely what happened when the world’s most powerful entity stepped into the White House to meet with the President of the United States.

$1.5 million may not seem like much of a deal to get Hilary Swank to show up at your party, but at that price, the two-time Academy Award winner will sweeten the bargain and throw in out her morals and convictions for free!

The main ingredient in Ashton Kutcher's hot tub soup gives a video interview to Us Weekly.

Sara Leal has nothing to gain from telling the world about her night at San Diego's Hard Rock hotel with Ashton Kutcher, right? She wasn't even paid for the interview she gave to Us Weekly! She's just a girl who wants us to know what it's like to spend the night with a married B-list actor and she's asking nothing in return — that is, since she didn't get the six figures of hush money she allegedly plied Kutcher for.

Initiated by the Canadian magazine Adbusters, the Occupy Wall Street series of protests have been taking over Manhattan's financial district since Sept. 17, when about 1,000 protesters marched through the streets, with a couple hundred of them camping out in NYC's Zuccotti Park overnight. More recently, several celebrities have been spotted in the crowds, marching with signs, photographing the goings-on, and tweeting their observations to legions of Twitter followers. Among them this week was Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley.

Once again, Demi Moore proves that what happens on Twitter never stays on Twitter.

You know the old maxim, It is better to have tweeted love and loss than never to have tweeted at all? Well, Demi Moore is a still a strong proponent of this wisdom, even though it seems her made-for-Twitter romance with Ashton Kutcher is going offline. Cryptic tweets from Demi last week are adding fuel to breakup speculation, especially since it’s been revealed that while Demi was home alone with her four million Twitter followers, Ashton was shooting tequila with his buddies and allegedly bedding a not *“hot-tub worthy” woman at the Hard Rock Hotel. The kicker? According to Radar Online, the partying started Sept. 23, and stretched into the next day — Sept. 24, Ashton and Demi’s sixth wedding anniversary.

Ah-nuld sinks to new lows. OK, so maybe not worse than fathering a child with the cleaning lady... but still pretty bad.

So Arnold Schwarzenegger went for a bike ride yesterday sporting a rather controversial item of clothing. No, I speak not of his groin-hugging cycle shorts (ugh!), but rather of his message bearing T-shirt emblazoned with the words “I Survived Maria” on the back, along with the numbers 1977 (the year Arnie and Maria Shriver first got together)—2010 (the year of their split).

Theories about the singer's cause of death abound as the public awaits autopsy results.

As news of Amy Winehouse’s death settles into public consciousness, one question still remains. While her passing was, sadly, not unexpected – Amy’s lifestyle couldn’t have kept going for long – the 27-year-old singer’s cause of death has yet to be determined.

TMZ reports the autopsy has just been completed, although test results are still pending before an official announcement will be made. Foul play is not suspected; the website reports Amy’s bodyguard found the singer in bed, alone, with no vital signs before calling the authorities.

Meanwhile, Amy’s family has made their grief public, expressing their gratitude for the public outpouring of support, and talking about the impact her death has had on their lives.

Did the international man of mystery miss his calling as a member of Her Majesty's Secret Service?

Hugh Grant has always been fairly disdainful of celebrity and of the tabloid media in particular. To be fair, he lives in England where the smut rags will stop at absolutely nothing to get a scoop, and have no problem being cruel when the case calls for it. (Duchess of Pork, anyone?).

The Glee star who launched a thousand breakup rumours with Goop steps out with a different woman; no confirmation on whether they're "just friends" or not.

Matthew Morrison reportedly has a new girlfriend, and surely no one is more relieved than... Gwyneth Paltrow?

Maybe not, but it’s got to be a handy diversion for confirmed close pals (and alleged paramours) Paltrow and Morrison, who, when they weren’t singing together on Glee, spent the spring casually swatting at rumours of a barely concealed affair.

Most of us had never heard of him before yesterday, so when news of Jackass star Ryan Dunn’s death in a fiery car wreck hit the wires, it left many of us scratching our heads.
