Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is going to be the last Harry Potter movie ever and the movie is going to be split up onto two DVD’s because of the length. The movie is set to hit the theaters on November 21st 2008 and is going to be one of the most anticipated films of the year guaranteed. Daniel Radcliffe will be starring as Harry Potter as usual and Hermione and Ron Weasley will be played by Emma Watson and Rupert Grint again. The movie is expected to bring in a record setting amount of money and it should be interesting to see how it all turns out in November. Below is a picture from the new movie and is one of the only images released to the public as of yet.

Ellen Degeneres will be co-hosting the American Idol fundraiser which is named “American Idol Gives Back” and it’s set to air Wednesday April 9th 2008 at 7:30PM on Fox. This will be the first and most likely only time you will see Ellen Degeneres front and live on the American Idol stage although if Idol ever switches to dancing then she may have a shot. I’m just joking, but I do love the way she dances on her show to the music lol it makes me laugh every time. It should be an amusing evening for anyone with nothing better to do on a Wednesday and Ellen and Ryan should make quite the tandem. Make sure you tune in to watch it and let me know what you think of it after it airs. I will do a follow-up report if I have enough feedback.

Mariah Carey is being featured in the March edition of Assure which hits newsstands on March 25th 2008. The famous number one singer admits to not thinking highly of herself in the issue of Assure and tells the world she suffers from low self-esteem. Shes been married once to Tommy Mottola and pleads she will only marry again if the right person comes along who understands her emotionally and can connect with her. Should be a long shot but I wish her the best of luck in her search.

Paris Hilton was accompanied by Benji Madden to her MTV press conference Thursday night. These two have been long companions and are always being spotted together by the media and paparazzi. It’s good to see Paris behaving a little bit better though and I must admit its a pleasure sight to see her like that.

Heres a picture from Paris Hilton’s MTV Thursday night press conference.
