The magazine claims the star was berated by film mogul Harvey Weinstein for his "boorish behavior" at the SAG Awards afterparty last month, causing tension with his wife. But a publicist has shot down the reports, telling Gossip.com that "The Fighter" star didn't even attend the bash.

Miley Cyrus has laughed off snaps appearing to show her locked in a compromising clinch with actor Avan Jogia at her 18th birthday party last year, insisting she found the photographs "hilarious".

The "Hannah Montana" singer/actress reached the milestone on November 23 and celebrated with a bash at the Trousdale club in Los Angeles. Photos taken during the party showed Cyrus wearing tight leather trousers and a tiny bra top, leaning back over the bar with Jogia pressed on top of her and his lips clamped on her neck.

The battle to win Nickelodeon's 24th Annual Kids' Choice Awards has begun. In sport, record-breaking Olympian swimmer Michael Phelps is up for Favorite Male Athlete along with footballer Peyton Manning, NBA player Shaquille O'Neal, and snowboarder/skateboarder Shaun White.

Tennis players Serena Williams and Venus Williams, meanwhile, are both nominated for Favorite Female Athlete. The siblings are going to face-to-face with two other competitors; auto racing driver Danica Patrick and ski racer Lindsey Vonn.

A stunt woman on U.S. cop show "Justified" has been hospitalized after she was hit by a truck during filming, according to U.S. reports. The 30 year old woman was in a critical condition in a Los Angeles medical facility after being struck by a vehicle during production last week, reportsTMZ.com.

The website claims the stunt worker was involved in a "low speed collision" and hit her head on the concrete floor. She is being treated for a severe head trauma.

A businessman has been sentenced to 10 months behind bars for racking up almost $190,000 on director Peter Jackson's American Express card. The moviemaker used his card to purchase items online from the Michigan Toy Soldier Company, which is owned by Richard Berry.

Berry then used the card details to make his own purchases in 2008 and 2009, spending a total of $189,902. The Detroit-based businessman, who has paid back more than half of the money to American Express, entered into a plea agreement in September, in which he admitted to billing charges to the director's credit card.

Actress Hayden Panettiere has urged the family of incarcerated Amanda Knox to watch her controversial new TV movie, insisting they'll feel "more relaxed" about the program once they view it. Knox was left shocked after seeing a trailer for "Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial" in Italy, in which the Heroes actress plays the college student convicted of killing her roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007.

The preview depicts Knox taking an active role in the murder, with a police official claiming she "orchestrated" the crime as part of a kinky sex game. Lawyers for the jailed American student have threatened legal action against bosses at U.S. network Lifetime if they air the film, which is due to be screened on February 21, amid speculation it could affect her ongoing appeal.

Nickelodeon has released the nominations list of 2011 Kids' Choice Awards on February 10, starting the battle among some of last year's blockbusters for Favorite Movie category.
