Here we go again … new rumors are swirling this week that Mariah Carey is pregnant with her first child in the wake of her abrupt last minute decision to pull out of appearing in a new Tyler Perry film that is due to go into production next month. Now, pregnancy rumors where Mimi is concerned is nothing new BUT, it does seem odd that she would decide so suddenly to pull out of appearing in this new film … which would’ve been her first movie since appearing in Precious last Fall. Here is a photo of Mariah Carey on the red carpet at the 12th Annual Keepers Of The Dream Awards which was held at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers in NYC last month … does she look pregs to you?

Mariah Carey abruptly pulled out of her role in Tyler Perry’s new film this week, PEOPLE has learned, sparking renewed speculation the singer/actress is pregnant. Carey, who won acclaim for her work in Precious, was set to appear in the adaptation of Ntozake Shange’s 1975 play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf. Filming was set to start next month. But on Tuesday Carey abruptly withdrew from the project. “I’m not at liberty to discuss her personal life at this time,” Carey’s spokeswoman Cindi Berger says, declining to give a reason for Carey’s withdrawal.

Considering that Mimi and hubby Nick Cannon just renewed their wedding vows on their second wedding anniversary earlier this month, I suppose the time is right for the couple to have a baby together. But it’s just impossible to believe any rumor about Mimi being pregs because new rumors spring up every other day. That being said, the reasoning over her possible pregnancy this time is sound so … we’ll just have to wait and see. I, for one, would LOVE it if Mimi and Nick really were expecting their first baby together so … I hope the rumor is true this time. Would YOU like to see Mariah give birth to her very own little lamb?

Congratulations are in order for the CBS daytime drama series The Bold and the Beautiful who was awarded this week with the Guinness World Record for being the Most Popular Daytime TV Soap – Current. Taking into consideration how many continents the soap opera is aired and the massive ratings numbers, B&B has been officially classified as THE most popular soap in the world right now. Here are a few photos from the Guinness World Record certification ceremony that was held at CBS Studios here in LA, CA yesterday:

As a fan of the show, I knew that B&B was wildly popular in other parts of the world but I had no idea that it was quite this popular. Something about The Bold and the Beautiful strikes a cord with the world audience … much like Baywatch did in the 90′s. As you may know, Baywatch as THE most popular show in the world for many years. After the jump, check out a close-up shot of the Guinness certificate that was awarded to B&B yesterday …

Aussie actor Russell Crowe was joined by his family — wife Danielle Spencer and sons Charles & Tennyson — at a ceremony held in his honor yesterday to unveil his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Crowe was honored with the the 2,404th star and looked elated at the turn-out of fans who came out to support him. Here are a few photos and some deets from yesterday’s event:

Academy Award-winning actor Russell Crowe received the 2,404th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Monday. “I still, occasionally, get to have conversations with people on the sidewalk about a movie I made 20 years ago,” said actor Russell Crowe. Over the years Crowe has been a “Gladiator,” an “Insider” and a man with “A Beautiful Mind.” Now, he’s a recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And hundreds of people came out to wish him well. “I thought it was going to be raining today and there wasn’t going to be anybody here,” said Crowe. “But, you know, that’s cool. That’s nice that people have stopped by within the course of their day and had a little look” … Talk show host Jay Leno spoke on Crowe’s behalf at the ceremony, calling him one of the greatest actors in the world. And director Ron Howard, who made two movies with him, says he’s a force of nature. “The degree of artistic intensity he brings to everything that he does is really remarkable to behold,” said Howard. “No one could deserve a star more than Russell.” And now he’s got one in the heart of Hollywood. “It’s not a bad piece of real estate. I reckon I could build an apartment on that, a very skinny one, but it’s in a good spot,” said Crowe. If you’d like to see Crowe’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it’s right outside the Kodak Theatre.

Aww … Russell … he looks so happy in these photos (even tho his poor kids do not). I think we should all be sending our warmest congrats to Russell Crowe today on this new honor. The fact that he is an Academy Award-winning actor is proof positive that he is worthy of this latest accolade. I know he’s got a new film about Robin Hood coming out and if anyone can make that character sexy, it’s Russell Crowe. I’m thinkin’ his version of Robin Hood will be a bit like Gladiator … but in the Sherwood Forest. While we await the release of that film, let’s just focus on celebrating and congratulating the newest resident on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Dennis Hopper, who has been battling a terminal case of prostate cancer (with reports erroneously stating that he is “near death”), appeared in person yesterday to be honored with his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The 73 year old Hopper, who was surrounded by family, friends and colleagues, was awarded the 2, 403rd star on the Walk of Fame … and he looked fantastic at his awards ceremony:

Dennis Hopper took what may be his final bow Friday as his star was dedicated on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. His lawyer and doctor told the judge overseeing his divorce this week that Hopper is dying of prostate cancer, but the 73-year-old actor was smiling broadly during the ceremony. “I just want to thank you,” Hopper told the crowd surrounding him. “That’s all I can do.” “Easy Rider” co-star Jack Nicholson stood behind Hopper as Hollywood star number 2,403 was revealed with Hopper’s name in front of the Egyptian Theater. Other stars on hand included director David Lynch and singers Johnny Mathis and Dwight Yoakam. With his 6-year-old daughter, Galen, by his side, Hopper waved and bowed to hundreds of fans lining a barricade along Hollywood Boulevard. Hopper’s doctor called him “extremely weak” and said he weighs barely 100 pounds in a court document filed this week, but he walked on his own during the 45 minutes he was at the ceremony. His forehead and right hand were bandaged, but not because of his illness. Hopper said he “took a terrible fall” and “got pretty screwed up” as photographers followed him outside his Venice, California, home Thursday. “I want to thank the paparazzi,” he said. “I know you’ve got a tough job, but sometimes you ought to be a little more sensitive.” Hopper, who is undergoing radical chemotherapy for advanced, metastasized prostate cancer, is also divorcing his wife of 14 years, Victoria Hopper. He is too weak and ill to be questioned by lawyers in the divorce, but attending Friday’s ceremony “is a positive experience in every way,” his doctor’s sworn statement said. The couple separated in January when he filed for divorce, claiming the stress of their relationship was threatening his life as he battled cancer … Hopper said the Starz cable network paid for his Hollywood star ceremony, which cost $25,000. His last acting job was on “Crash,” the TV series based on the Oscar-winning movie of the same name. Hopper’s acting career has spanned almost six decades. In the ’50s he had roles in several TV shows and films, including “Rebel Without a Cause” (1955) and “Giant” (1956). He became a Hollywood sensation for “Easy Rider,” the 1969 film he directed and co-wrote in which he played a dissolute, countercultural biker.

Dennis Hopper may be losing his battle with cancer but he ain’t dead yet. I am so pleased that he was well enough to attend this ceremony in his honor. Hopper is a Hollywood legend and it is very fitting that he be honored in this way … that he was able to participate in this tribute to his work is just wonderful. Congratulations Dennis … and KEEP fighting! We are all rootin’ for you!!

Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristen Davis were among the celebs who attended the ShoWest Convention in Las Vegas, NV yesterday to do some promo for new projects they’ve got coming on the horizon. The ladies (sans 4th castmember Kim Cattrall) not only made their way to Sin City to promote their upcoming film Sex and the City 2 but they were also in the hiz to be honored for their work in the first Sex and the City Movie. Here’s a pic of the threesome in LV yesterday:

Sarah Jessica Parker has always claimed her real-life dress sense is nothing like her Sex And The City character Carrie Bradshaw. But as she arrived at an event in Las Vegas to promote the upcoming movie sequel yesterday, Parker opted for a dress her fashionista alter-ego would have loved. The 44-year-old actress showed off her toned legs in an asymmetrical yellow mini-dress and nude coloured heels as she joined co-stars Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon at Warner Bros. ShoWest Presentation at the Paris Hotel. Missing out on all the fun was Kim Cattrall, who is currently starring in the London production of the Noel Coward play Private Lives. Instead Parker was joined by Davis and Nixon, who opted for equally eye-catching dresses. Nixon, 43, wore a brown, purple and beige shift dress, while Davis, 45, went for a rose-print pleated number. Nixon said fans shouldn’t expect to see the foursome getting up to their old tricks from the TV series. She said: ‘One of the things that has kept it so strong is that (writer-director) Michael Patrick King doesn’t try to take us through the same thing because it worked so well the last time. If we stayed the same, going out and drinking and having sex, we would turn into Absolutely Fabulous, which is not what we are. He has allowed us to age, and the audience has allowed us to come along for the ride.’ Later the three actresses glammed up for the ShoWest Final Night Talent Awards event where they were presented with an award for Best Ensemble cast in a film.

Fabulous!! The ladies look great, don’t they? After the jump, check out another group photo of the SaTC chicks at last night’s ShoWest Talent Awards where they picked up an award for the first SaTC Movie …

Last September we learned which Rock and Roll musicians were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and last night, in a lavish concert/ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in NYC, NY rockers like Iggy Pop and The Stooges, Genesis, The Hollies and … ABBA … were inducted as the 2010 Class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Here are a few photos from last night’s ceremony and some deets from the event:

It opened with a Phish show, nearly exploded into a (very well-heeled) proto-punk riot, got giddy on a fix of sunshiny Swedish pop, and finally wrapped up with a ’50′s-tinged tribute. It was the 25th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, back in NYC after a one-year sojourn in Cleveland (where the titular hall actually exists). And while it may have been lacking the star power of previous years’ ceremonies — Eminem and Metallica in 2009, Madonna and Justin Timberlake in ’08 — it certainly showcased the breadth and depth of this thing we call rock music. ABBA, Genesis, the Stooges, Jimmy Cliff and the Hollies were the performers that headlined the 2010 class, inducted into the hall by the likes of the Bee Gees’ Barry and Robin Gibb and Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong. Variety was the theme of the night, expressed in the wide range of performances and the revered tones of the inductors, which ranged from genuinely geeky (Phish’s Trey Anastasio, who inducted Genesis and spoke at length about the group’s “seven-note guitar lines” and the technical prowess of their 1973 album Selling England by the Pound) to gleefully amped (Armstrong swore a whole lot as he inducted the Stooges). The show began with Phish running through Genesis’s proggy “Watchers of the Sky,” then Phil Collins, Tony Banks, Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherford took the stage to accept their award, thanking Anastasio for his “really convincing argument” about the oft-derided band’s legacy. Original singer Peter Gabriel wasn’t there because he was “rehearsing for an orchestral tour,” according to Collins. Phish then played a second Genesis tune, “No Reply at All.” Up next were the Stooges, long denied a slot in the hall despite their obvious influences on everything from punk to metal, and they more than made up for lost time. First, Armstrong — who was “very excited and nervous as hell” to be inducting them — strode to the podium and launched into a heartfelt speech that praised the band’s commitment to “blood and guts, sex and drugs … peanut butter and poetry.” The Green Day frontman rattled off basically every band the Stooges had ever influenced, a list that included Nirvana, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Queens of the Stone Age “and my fucking band too.” “It is my honor to induct into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — and it’s about fucking time — the Stooges!” Armstrong exclaimed. Stooge main man Iggy Pop strutted onto the stage and — still wearing a shirt — gave the tuxedoed crowd a double middle-finger salute, followed by a genuinely touching speech that mentioned late members Dave Alexander and Ron Asheton, shouted out “all the poor people who actually started rock and roll” and concluded with a thanks to all his fans for giving the band “a second act,” getting choked up as he said it. Pop turned the mic over to fellow Stooges James Williamson and Ron’s brother Scott and began unbuttoning his white dress shirt as they spoke. He then stormed off to the stage, and, aided by bassist Mike Watt and tenor sax skronker Steve Mackay, ripped through a pair of the Stooges’ burners — “Search and Destroy” and “I Wanna Be Your Dog” — the latter of which saw Iggy prowl the front row of the audience, belt out the chorus under the watchful gaze of Dr. Oz (for real), then invite anyone and everyone onstage. Green Day and members of Pearl Jam gleefully obliged, as did a few fairly radical men and women in their formal wear. Back in the press room, Iggy explained his impromptu invasion thusly: “Well, you can’t really stage-dive in a place like this.” Legendary record exec David Geffen and British rock act the Hollies were inducted next, followed by Reggae legend Jimmy Cliff (who was lovingly introduced by Wyclef Jean) and then, in perhaps the night’s most anticipated moment, globally revered Swedish pop quartet ABBA, who hadn’t performed together in public in nearly 25 years. Unfortunately, only half of the group’s members — Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Benny Andersson (who were married once upon a time) — showed up to accept their trophies from the Gibbs. They seemed touched by the honor, and Andersson took to the piano to perform one of the group’s most masterful hits, “The Winner Takes It All,” with country star Faith Hill on vocals.

LOL … yes, it really does sound like a very eclectic night of music celebration. While some are saying that ABBA doesn’t belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I think it’s wise of the Rock Hall to induct musicians like ABBA who’s influence may not be necessarily text book “rock” but rather has influenced other rock musicians who followed after. Madonna is not a rock musician and yet, she deffo belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In any event … I’m so happy that my boys from Detroit, The Stooges, finally made it into the Rock Hall. They are true rock pioneers and their induction is LONG overdue. Congrats to this year’s class of inductees!! I wonder who’ll make the cut next year.

Last night the 21st annual GLAAD Media Awards were handed out at the New York Marriott Marquis in NYC, NY in a ceremony that “recognizes and honors media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and the issues that affect their lives”. ABC, Lifetime, The View‘s Joy Behar and Sex and the City‘s Cynthia Nixon were among the honored last night with GLAAD Media Awards. Here are a few photos from the red carpet arrivals and some deets about the ceremony itself:

Joy Behar, Cynthia Nixon and the ABC drama series “Brothers & Sisters” are among this year’s recipients of media awards from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Presented Saturday in New York, winners of the 21st Annual GLAAD Media Awards also include the NBC sitcom “Parks and Recreation,” MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” the Lifetime network film “Prayers for Bobby” and a report on CNN’s “American Morning” program called “Why Will Won’t Pledge Allegiance.” The ABC daytime drama “One Life to Live” and an episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” were also recognized, as were the Spanish-language networks Univision and Telemundo. Among winners in nonelectronic media, The New York Times was awarded for overall outstanding newspaper coverage, and Detective Comics was named outstanding comic book. “Sex and the City” star Nixon was honored with the Vito Russo Award, which is named after a founding member of GLAAD and is presented to a gay media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equal rights for the gay community. Behar, a co-host of ABC’s “The View,” received the Excellence in Media Award. The GLAAD Media Awards salute fair, accurate and inclusive representation of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and the issues that affect their lives in the media. The remainder of this year’s awards — chosen from a total of 152 nominees in 32 categories — will be presented at ceremonies held in Los Angeles and San Francisco in April and June, respectively.

Congratulations goes out to all the winners! Each year we enjoy more and more GLBT visibility in the media and that visibility should be honored and celebrated. After the jump, check out some photos from the NYC edition of the GLAAD Media Awards last night …

The 82nd Academy Awards are just 2 days away and today celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck unveiled to the media his plans for the fancy eats he’ll be presenting to attendees of the Governor’s Ball on Oscars night … cuz forget about those little trophies, you know the vast majority of folks will be all about the food come Sunday night. Here are some photos of Puck and his peeps showin’ off some of the food creations that will be made available on Oscars night:

Wolfgang Puck will arguably be busiest man in Hollywood once the best motion picture Oscar is handed out Sunday night in Hollywood. The 60-year-old celebrity chef must ensure the expected 1,600 guests who attend the post-Oscar Governors Ball, given by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, will be fed within 90 minutes. “Most of them haven’t eaten all day long because they had to go the hairdressers and (do) make-up,” Puck said. The Governors Ball is one of the premier Academy Award bashes where award winners and celebrities of various stripes kick off a night of revelry after the world’s top film honors. All the nominees are expected to be there, from George Clooney and Sandra Bullock to Quentin Tarantino and Meryl Streep. “There’s not a bigger party than the Oscars here,” Puck told Reuters in a phone interview. And beyond the Governors Ball, Puck will juggle two more affairs the same night — an AIDS fund-raiser for singer Elton John and a bash at his own flagship restaurant, Spago. Still, Puck’s first priority will be the Governors Ball, an event he has catered for the past 16 years. To ensure everything runs smoothly, nearly 1,000 people including 300 chefs begin working around the clock starting Saturday, the Austrian-born chef said. This year, guests will dine on crispy potato pancakes with smoked salmon and caviar, followed by black truffle chicken pot pies. They will end their meals with baked alaskas served along espresso ice-cream, chocolate sorbet and hazelnut meringue. To end the three parties a high note, guests can take home their own Oscar statuettes made of chocolate and dusted in 24-carat gold. Puck and his staff are preparing 3,500 of them. “Everybody is a winner if they come eat with us,” he said. But when asked to name his Oscar pick for best movie, Puck admitted he saw none of the 10 nominated films.

LOL!! Forget about the fact that many of the Academy Award attendees wouldn’t have eaten all day … I’m guessing many of the lovely ladies who want to look their best for the red carpet haven’t been eating for weeks now! I’m certain that the food that Wolfgang Puck provides will be the highlight for a great many of the Oscars attendees. I really love the salmon sushi in the shape of Oscar trophies … that’s an idea that anyone could adapt for their Oscars parties. WHICH REMINDS ME … if YOU host an Oscars party, make sure you snap a bunch of fun photos to send in and share with all of us! I wanna see YOUR Oscars eats this weekend!! Send your fun photos to pinkisthenewblog @gmail.com

The nominations for the 2010 Academy Awards won’t be announced until early tomorrow morning but today we learn which films and actors have been nominated for the 2010 Golden Raspberry Awards. The Razzies, as they are more commonly known, annually honor the worst movies and acting performances of the previous year … the antithesis of the Oscars. This year, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Land of the Lost are tied for the most Razzie Award noms (7 each) and actors like Sandra Bullock, Eddie Murphy, Beyoncé and Billy Ray Cyrus have all been nominated among the various “Worst” categories:

“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” and “Land of the Lost” are tied for the most Razzie Award nominations, scoring seven chances each to take gold paint-sprayed statuettes hailing the worst films of 2009. Also noteworthy: two of this year’s Oscar players could also end up as Razzie stars when trophies are doled out one night before the Academy Awards gala. Oscar ceremony co-host Steve Martin is nominated for worst actor in “Pink Panther 2.” No other actor has ever been up for a Razzie the same year he or she emceed the Academy Awards, although Martin’s co-host on March 7, Alec Baldwin, was nominated for a Razzie in 2003 (worst supporting actor, “Cat in the Hat”). Sandra Bullock is considered an Oscar best actress front-runner for “The Blind Side,” but she’s also nominated for 2009′s worst actress for “All About Steve.” If Bullock claims both trophies, she’ll be the first star ever to pull off the dual win in the same year. Others have done so in nonacting categories. In 1992, Alan Menken won two Oscars for composing the music in “Aladdin” and a Razzie for a tune in “Newsies.” In 1997, Brian Helgeland reaped an Oscar for writing “L.A. Confidential” screenplay and a Razzie for penning “The Postman.” Two stars have been nominated for an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year for the same role, but they lost: James Coco (“Only When I Laugh”) and Amy Irving (“Yentl”). Halle Berry famously bagged a Razzie soon after her Oscar, but three years separated her wins for “Catwoman” (2004) and “Monster’s Ball” (2001). John Wilson, Razzie president and founder, tells Gold Derby that “Transformers 2″ creator Michael Bay is overdue for Razzie glory after a past worst-picture loss for “Armageddon” (1998) and two defeats for worst director: “Armageddon” and “Pearl Harbor” (2001). “Bay is totally talent-free and untouched by the muse,” Wilson says with a sigh. Wilson says that 2009 was such a banner year for bad movies that the Razzies considered expanding their worst-picture list to 10 nominees like the Oscars’ best-picture list, “but then I realized that our membership is only one-tenth of the academy, and it would have no meaning. It would be just like the Golden Globes where a movie can win with only 17 votes.” If the Razzies had expanded its top category, “Twilight: New Moon” would’ve been nominated for worst picture since it came in sixth place in the voting, so alas, it got snubbed.

LMAO … I love the Razzies. In this instance, being “only nominated” says a lot about the films and the performers … there’s no need to pick singular winners, they’re all losers in my book! I know that many folks are waiting with bated breath for the Academy Award nominations tomorrow morning but I am always looking forward to the Razzie noms … and this year did NOT disappoint :) After the jump, check out the full list of Razzie Award nominations and see who and what is in contention for the WORST that Hollywood had to offer last year …

Yesterday we learned that the 2010 BET Honors were handed out in a taped ceremony last Saturday night that is scheduled to air on BET next month. During that awards show, Whitney Houston was among the honorees who was paid tribute to on stage. Today we learn that in addition to her BET Honors award, she was presented with a Double Platinum plaque by the RIAA for selling over 2 million copies of her latest album I Look To You:

This is fantastic news! It was only announced last month that I Look To You reached Platinum status, now just a few weeks later it’s sold another million copies! I am so happy that Whitney Hoston‘s comeback is well on track … she is most deserving of all of these accolades. Here’s to another million + in sales in the months to come. You know what all of this achievement means, right? Another new album from Whitney Houston can’t be far away :)
