Ashlee Simpson isn’t dwelling on her dismissal from Melrose Place. Simpson is set to reprise her role as Roxie Hart in Broadway’s Chicago, according to Access Hollywood.

The actress was reportedly fired from Melrose Place due to demands made by actress, Heather Locklear.

Simpson starred as Roxie Hart on London’s West End in 2006, but this will be her Broadway debut.

Ashlee will begin her six-week Chicago stint in December.

Look out Broadway!  Abigail Breslin may be little, but she has an enormous amount of personality and talent to go around.

At the age of 13, Abigail has taken on impressive and challenging movie roles, possibly yet to come to Broadway is her most inspiring work seen through the eyes of Helen Keller.

Breslin will be starring as the historical figure with heroic determination to overcome hearing and seeing disabilities, in the revival of Wiliam Gibson’s The Miracle Worker on Broadway, the Associated Press Reports.

“I am so honored,” Abigail said in an interview. “It’s like the biggest thing in the world. … I have read the biography of Helen Keller. So I’ve always known the story, and it’s always been something I wanted to play.”

“Helen is a hero of mine — for so many reasons. She never gave up on herself and she had so many people who believed in her like her teacher Annie Sullivan.”

The play is scheduled to open March 3, with previews beginning Feb. 12 at Circle in the Square Theatre.

This is very exciting news! What do you think about Abigail’s new role?

This has to be super annoying for actors.  You know Hugh Jackman gets pissed.

The Wolverine star was caught on tape stopping his A Steady Rain show when a theatergoers cell phone wouldn’t stop ringing.

Hugh asked the person to not be embarrassed and just pick up their phone and shut it off so he could go on with his performance.

He starts to get really annoyed after awhile because the ringing keeps going on and he says, “You want to get that?  Come on, just turn it off!”

I don’t know why people are so stupid and leave their cell phones on during movies or plays.  Really.  It’s one of the rudest things ever.

Sienna Miller made her Broadway debut last night, September 18th.

The sexy star put on a preview performance of “After Miss Julie.”  Sienna stars as 27 year old Miss Julie, a flighty aristocrat, in the play, which is a new version of a famous 1888 play by August Strindberg about class and relationships.

One theatergoer commented,

It was very interesting seeing Strindberg’s work advance 100 years.  Sienna did a really wonderful job, she was very, very honest and created a really deep character.

After the performance, Sienna was spotted outside the American Airlines Theatre in New York signing autographs.

Rihanna was hounded by fans and paparazzi as she made her way to The Lion King on Broadway with her little brother and her entourage.  In the video below you can see that as she’s entering the theater, one of the paparazzi shouts “Rihanna, do you have any thoughts on DJ AM passing away?  He just passed away…”  At first Rihanna clearly tunes him out, but then she starts to process what he said and shouts back in disbelief “WHO?!”

Watch the rest of Rihanna’s reaction to the death of DJ AM below, starting at the 0:18 mark:

Harry Potter is a pretty PG film series, but in real life the actors involved with the films have all been caught in a few scandalous situations…

Check out our list below!

10. Daniel Radcliffe reveals that he lost his virginity at 16 to a much older women.  Of the age difference he said it “wasn’t ridiculous but it would freak some people out.”

Hmmm…We’re thinking somewhere in the low to mid 20s…

9. Actor Michael Gambon who took over the role of Albus Dumbledore after the original actor Richard Harris suddenly passed away has been at the center of a scandal as of last month, when Gambon’s mistress (he is currently married) gave birth to his child.

Not only is he openly cheating on his wife, but Michael Gambon is 68!! Grossss….

8. Pictures of an underage Emma Watson drinking beer with her friends are leaked.

7. Pictures of Bonnie Wright who plays Ginny in the films leak of her rolling a joint, and many sources claim she smokes a lot of marijuana.

6. Rupert Grint’s best friend was charged with two counts of sexual assault at Rupert’s 18th birthday party, and caused all kinds of rumors that Rupert had been involved, when he in fact had nothing to do with the situation.  They have since ended their friendship.

5. Daniel Radcliffe was accepting an award for his stage performance in Equus, and upon taking the podium to receive the award the show’s host James Corden decided to plant an intense, long, passionate kiss on Daniel, who didn’t really seem to mind that much.

4. Most recently, Emma Watson arrived for the London premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blooded Prince and the wind completely blew her dress open (there was a long slit in it) and exposed her underwear to everyone!

3. Months ago, as Emma Watson was exiting a car, some photogs got some upskirt shots of Emma, revealing transparent panties which left little to the imagination.  Click HERE to see the uncensored pics!

2. Jamie Waylett who plays Slytherin bully Crabbe in the films was arrested back in April after police found 8 bags of marijuana in his vehicle, which led them to raid his house only to find 10 cannibis plants.

1. In 2007, Daniel Radcliffe surprised EVERYONE when he accepted the lead role in the Broadway show Equus, which included a full nude scene, as well as many sex scenes.

Everyone who went to see Equus can officially say that they saw Harry Potter’s disco stick!

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were greeted by about 30 Scientology protesters holding posters that said ‘Free Katie’ at her opening night on Broadway.  One protester claimed that they were not there to protest Katie and stated,

We aren’t protesting Katie.  But Scientology is a cult and once you become a member you can’t leave, and we’ve heard that Katie isn’t able to leave because of Tom Cruise.

Another member of the protesters shouted, “It’s evil.  Scientology kills people.  It follows you home at night.  It is perverted.”

Even with the protesters trying to ruin their night Katie put on a great performance.  Tom told the Daily News, “She was extraordinary” and Katie fans that attended the show agreed.  22 year old Alexa Haines told In Touch magazine,

I thought Katie was excellent!  I’ve liked her since Dawson’s Creek, but now she has such stage presence; I never would have known!

I am glad that the protesters didn’t ruin Katie’s performance, but not surprised.  They looked crazier than Tom could ever be.  How can anyone in a hot pink wig be taken seriously.  For a second there I thought Britney lost it again.  What do you  think… Is Tom controlling Katie or are these protesters crazy?

Just when Taylor Hicks seems to be falling out of the spotlight completely, he does what most other American Idol contestants do, Broadway.

Hicks will be joining the cast of Grease starting June 6 and will play the role of Frenchy’s gaurdian angel and singer of “Beauty School Dropout”, Teen Angel, at Brooks Atkinson Theater.

The production hasn’t had the greatest reviewes since it kicked off last August- but it keeps audiences coming with the help of Max Crumm (Danny) and Laura Osnes (Sandy) the winners of NBC’s Grease: You’re the One That I Want! 

Hicks who is no longer signed to Clive Davis’ J-Records, joins Clay Aiken, Fantasia Barrino, Tamyra Gray, Frenchie Davis, Diana DeGarmo, and Constantine Maroulis to the list of Idol  contestants who have appeared on Broadway in the past several years.

Sean Diddy Combs is the latest celebrity to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The ceremony was held in Hollywood on Saturday, May 2nd. As far as the Hollywood Star ceremony goes, Sean’s friends and family, along with hundreds of fans came out to witness the event, but it’s the after party that I want to talk about–the after-party was absolutely insane!!!

Comment | Copy ThisI ran into a friend of mine there, RJ from www.younghollywood.com, and he was walking around with a voice recorder. So, I went to his site today and grabbed the voice message that’s posted above–it explains a little bit about the after party or maybe “parties” would be a more appropriate word…Apparently it was a $2million ordeal and man did it feel like it.

We arrived at the 1st house around 11pm-ish and walked into this estate that felt right out of Alice in Wonderland with all the gardens and walkways. After the 10 min walk down the various outdoor hallways (FYI there was a full length soccer field, basketball court, and Olympic size pool!), we finally walk into the event where the DJ was spinning and the first guy we see: Magic Johnson… and then, we walk a little further in and Denzel Washington is up the steps some chatting with some friends.

To my right is Jamie Foxx talking to Cameron Diaz, several of the cast members from the hit show ‘Entourage’ were there including the beautiful Emmanuelle Chriqui, who plays Sloan, was with superstar basketball player Baron Davis. We saw her on numerous occasions speaking to Jeremy Piven and Kevin Connolly.

Michael Jordan was in attendance as was Ryan Seacrest, John Legend, Quincy Jones, and Jessica Simpson. I hung with my friend Melody Thornton for a good portion of the night who is one of the members of ‘The Pussycat Dolls’ and she was hanging with Nicole Scherzinger…Friends of mine that I was with were all close friends with Nicole so it made for an exciting night out as the two girls are gorgeous!

I dont want to talk too much about the attendees though…so let’s move on…. at 1am the 1st party shuts down and the DJ announces the address to the next event and where to park as a shuttle will be taking us to the actual estate. We arrive and I run into a close friend of mine Claudia Jordan who’s on the hit show ‘Deal or No Deal’ and she’s with Jamie Foxx in his limo. So she makes it super easy for us to get into this next insane party which was 10 min up the hill off Sunset Blvd in the Hollywood Hills… The view this place has is right out of a picture.

All you can see is lights and the entire city of LA. This event was catered so there was all kinds of wonderful food and then Ciroc Vodka was the primary sponsor of the alcoholic beverages… This event was smaller than the first so it was easy to spot Diddy–who was dressed in like his 5th outfit for the evening. Outfit #5 was a white tux with the tie undone and, of course, sunglasses on to hide all the Ciroc and Champagne he consumed throughout the evening. I think we finally left the event at around 6am when you could see the sun starting to peak through the dark sky.

Such an amazing evening!

Did you know that Sean Combs is the first male rapper to be honored with a star on the Walk of Fame? Combs, best known for his work as a hip-hop artist and producer, began his career as an intern for Uptown Records.
