Marc Cherry boldly told the press that one of the main cast on "Desperate Housewives" actually doesn't have what it takes to be in comedy. Without fear of offending his actresses, the show's creator said, "One of my actresses on 'Desperate Housewives' is not funny", at the Producers Guild's Produced by Conference.

Cherry had found himself at odds with former cast Nicollette Sheridan who filed a lawsuit for being wrongfully terminated. Sheridan also said that the showrunner created a hostile working environment, once hit her in the head and said bad things about Teri Hatcher.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux chose 2011 MTV Movie Awards bash to make their relationship public. The couple who started dating last month was very touchy and affectionate towards one another at the awards show's after-party which was also attended by low-key couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Aniston and Theroux, who shared the screen in "Wanderlust", were first frequently seen together in March when she visited him at Chateau Marmont in L.A. Aniston's rep denied a relationship at that time, saying the dinner was attended by four other people and was far from "romantic".

Claimed to have insulted Christianity, Lady GaGa's latest album "Born This Way" is banned in Lebanon. The effort which has sold millions in other parts of the world is not accessible physically in the Mideast country but its residents are still able to download it from Amazon's cloud.

A lot of copies have been shipped to the country but now they are piled in police offices. "We collected the CDs on the grounds that the music was offensive to religion," an unnamed official from the office of censorship said. "They are still in our offices. We are still deciding what to do with them."

Robert Pattinson dropped the F-bomb during Generation Award presentation for his "Water for Elephants" co-star Reese Witherspoon at 2011 MTV Movie Awards and it went uncensored on the East Coast. Reese herself said the F-word on her accepting speech and it went through as well.

The award show held in Los Angeles was live on American television although it was airing on a slight delay, which would enable the producers to scramble on the bleep button. The network's defense is, "It was unexpected, and was a technical glitch in not catching it."

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were spotted holding hands at the backstage of 2011 MTV Movie Awards held on Sunday evening, June 5. After winning many awards throughout the evening, the famous rumored couple posed together backstage with other stars when the show was over.

There is still a possibility that Cheryl Cole will judge "The X Factor (US)". Although there have been reports that she has been replaced by Nicole Scherzinger due to her thick accent, Simon Cowell is still fighting to have the Girls Aloud singer staying on the show.

"Simon's position is clear - he wants her to be on the show if that's possible," Max Clifford, a publicist for the British music mogul, said. "The reason Simon hasn't said anything is because he has been working to try and make sure she is on the show."

Jennifer Aniston received the Decade of Hotness award at the Spike TV's 2011 Guys Choice Awards on Saturday night, June 4.

Donning a black mini dress, the former "Friends" actress arrived solo at the prize-giving event a few days after being spotted with her rumored boyfriend Justin Theroux at Los Angeles' Sunset Tower. While receiving her Mantler trophy on stage, the 42-year-old actress vowed to maintain her sexy figure by doing yoga moves, saying that she will "keep downward dogging until the fat lady sings."

Hailee Steinfeld is allegedly set for a seductive scene in "Romeo and Juliet". A copy of the script for the drama film obtained by Britain's Sunday Times suggests that the 14-year-old beauty, who was cast to take the female lead role, will have to strip off her clothes.

[SPOILER ALERT!] "They (Romeo and Juliet) start undressing each other - slowly, gently and carefully until they are naked," an excerpt from the screenplay read. "They are eternal figures in a Raphael painting. Romeo then carries her to bed, kissing her again and again as they explore uncharted territory. Then they make love, transported into each other's soul."

While the males are around the dead in the dark scenes, one and the only female cameo Nicki Minaj is battling her Barbie alter ego instead. The femcee, wearing leather gear and equipping herself with a riding crop, straps her pink-wigged alter ego in a chair and the two are engaged in a psychological death match.

The release date for the sequel of "Star Trek" may be pushed back. During a recent interview, director/producer J.J. Abrams hinted that he cared much about the quality of the untitled Star Trek sequel rather than rushing it to meet its release date.

Starting his career from one local talent show to another, Scotty McCreery finally tried out "American Idol" in 2011 and instantly grabbed judges' attention with his deep bass voice which is unusual for his 17-year-old age. Gifted with such wonderful voice and a boyish look, he escaped all eliminations at the singing competition and took home the crown in May during the finale.

Singing Montgomery Gentry's "Gone", George Strait's "Check Yes or No" and his own debut single, Scotty beat another young contestant 16-year-old Lauren Alaina. He becomes the youngest male winner at age 17, and the second youngest winner ever behind season 6 winner Jordin Sparks, who was 17 when she won the contest in 2007.

The rumor made its way out around the same time when her career took off in 2008, and was later denied by herself.

The 20th Annual MTV Movie Awards has handed out the kudos on Sunday, June 5 from Gibson Amphitheatre and "The Twilight Saga's Eclipse" bags a handful of trophies. The David Slade-directed film shows off its power by collecting five awards in total.

Stars have flocked at Universal Studios' Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California where the 2011 MTV Movie Awards is taking place. Having been one of the most awaited guests, Kristen Stewart looked hot in a red strapless mini dress which details include a set of safety pins.

Representing another big franchise "Harry Potter", Emma Watson opted a simple style. The nominee of Best Female Performance Award hit the red carpet in a white dress matched with the shoes. She is set to present a sneak peek from the latest installment of the wizard movie series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II".

Mutants are taking the box office reign with "X-Men: First Class" claiming the first spot. The latest installment of "X-Men" film franchise grosses $55.1 million from 3,641 theaters. However, it seems not to be a really great start, considering the spent budget was $160 million. The movie also falls short from its predecessors, for example "X-Men: The Last Stand" which debuted $105.8 million in 2006.

Trailing behind the fifth "X-Men" film is "The Hangover Part II", which drops 63.5% from last week's cume. The raunchy comedy, which revolves around Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha), obtains $31.4 million and lands on the second place.

It also gives a look at a furious Jacob when he first received the wedding invitation.

In the highly anticipated film, newlywed Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson, and Bella Swan, portrayed by Kristen Stewart, grow a new family. Also, they face a perilous chain of events that pits the Cullens and their allies against the Volturi, the fearsome council of vampire leaders, setting the stage for an all-out battle.
