Donald Sutherland Gets a Star Next to Kiefer?s
Bestowed his very own sense of Hollywood immortality, Donald Sutherland received the 2430th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday (January 26).
The 75-year-old actor was presented the honor by "Horrible Bosses" co-star Colin Farrell during a laid-back ceremony taking place next to Donald's son Kiefer's Walk of Fame star.
With Universal Studios President and COO Ron Meyer also partaking, the group gathered together for pictures after Farell joked around and told everyone how Donald saved him - as he could never smoke next to him.
Prior to the ceremony, Sutherland said of the honor, "It's lovely. You're 75 years old. It's different from what it is if you're a young person in the full flush of your career when your future's ahead of you. My future is behind me so when you're my age and you go for a drive, you pass the cemetery, you turn and look. You're window shopping! I was thinking about this thing (Walk of Fame honor) on Hollywood Boulevard and I realized I was going to have my stone and the great thing about this one is I will be able to visit it. The other one (grave headstone) I won't, I'll be under it."
Meanwhile, fans can catch Donald in his new movie "The Mechanic" opening in theaters this Friday, January 28th.
Co-starring Jason Statham, the action flick "follows an elite hit man as he teaches his trade to an apprentice who has a connection to one of his previous victims."

According to music producer Danja, Britney Spears is still hard at work on her March album release. The producer, who has worked with Spears on songs like "Gimme More," "Break the Ice" and "Kill the Lights" in the past, reveals that he and the pop superstar are still working on tracks together.
"Britney, I don't have too much news, but I'm always creating something," he told MTV News on Thursday, just as Spears' first single, "Hold It Against Me," reached the top of iTunes charts worldwide. "Still recording. She still has songs to cut, but we'll see what happens."
When asked what kinds of songs he's throwing together for Britney, his comments echoed those he made last June. "I just took my track level up. I just wanted to make sure it's still hard-hitting and still that same energy that people heard, but very today's time," he said. "So we'll see. I don't know what the project will end up being, but we'll see. We did have a meeting like a year ago, and they wanted it to sound urban, hard-hitting, not so much dance, but just that similar sound."
Danja says that he has yet to actually get in the studio with the star, but he has been in conversation with her about any potential songs that might be included on her still untitled album. "Well, for me, this time around I haven't been in with her yet," he revealed. "It's just been us writing and creating and really nailing a sound or a song more than anything."
In addition to working on tracks for the album, Spears is also hard at work on the video for her first single. Her choreographer Brian Friedman spoke to MTV's "The Seven" this week, describing what fans will see when the video drops.
"I think you can expect the unexpected from Britney," he said. "She is taking risks when it comes to fashion, when it comes to choreography, when it comes to this music — she's grown up so much, and she's pushing 30 years old soon, so she's a strong, independent woman and I think she wants to show that."

Charlie Sheen?s Sin City Spending Spree
It?s no secret that he?s a fan of excessive partying and Charlie Sheen reportedly dropped $26,000 on hookers during his recent trip to Las Vegas.
According to Radar, the ?Two-and-a-Half Men? star paid one escort named Ginger $10 grand for four hours of crazy sex.
When she got to the $40,000-a-night Sky Villa at the Palms Casino Resort, Ginger noticed that Sheen was enjoying some nose candy.
A source explained, ?Ginger said Charlie was high on cocaine when she got to the room and continued to do drugs in front of her. He was totally out of it and clearly had been partying all night long."
And apparently Charlie developed a little crush on Ginger. ?Charlie told Ginger this wasn?t just a one night stand and that he plans to reconnect with her during the next time he is in Las Vegas. From whta she has said, she had a very good time with him and she is just his type.?
Besides Ginger, Sheen also plunked down $8,000 each for two other hookers during his stay in Sin City.

Britney Spears' 'Hold It Against Me' Likely Safe From Copyright Case
Country music duo the Bellamy Brothers are upset over Britney song title's resemblance to their 1979 hit.
By Gil Kaufman
Britney Spears and the Bellamy Brothers

Chances are, nobody out there is going to confuse the Bellamy Brothers' slow-rolling, 1979 Tex-Mex country hit "If I Said You Have a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me" with Britney Spears' new club grinder "Hold It Against Me."
Yeah, the titles are somewhat similar, but even with the noise the "Let Your Love Flow" sibling act is making over a possible legal challenge to Brit, the chances of winning a case over the borrowing of a song title is pretty slim, according to a noted copyright attorney who spoke to MTV News.
"A title is not copyrightable," said lawyer Brian Caplan, who has more than 20 years of experience in intellectual property and entertainment law. (Caplan does not represent the Bellamy Brothers.) "The expression, either in lyrics or music in a composition is copyrightable, however if something has been used previously by multiple sources, one can argue that it is trite or commonplace and the latter user has no right to it."
David Bellamy conceded to Entertainment Weekly that he first heard the title phrase — a favorite cheesy pick-up line for bar-trollers across the globe — while watching reruns of the classic Groucho Marx show "You Bet Your Life." The mustachioed comedian used the line on the show one night in an attempt to sidle up to a buxom blonde, Bellamy recalled.
"It was just really funny, and I thought, 'Well, that'd make a really good song title," Bellamy said, acknowledging that many songs have the same, or similar, titles these days. "But this particular title is kinda hard to disguise, because the title is the song. It's not like saying, 'I love you, baby.' I think songwriters have become watered-down. This makes me sound like an old man again, but I find that songwriters now are not as strong as they used to be in the '60s or '70s."
Lawyer Caplan, who had not heard either song when MTV News contacted him to comment, said that just because a title is not copyrightable does not mean a potential case would automatically go away. "It means that there would be a strong argument as it moves forward to have it dismissed, though," he said. "If you can show through a survey of prior art that that phrase has been used previously by others prior to the plaintiff's use, then it significantly undermines [the case] and if it's only used in the title it's a slam dunk."
As an example, he said if someone wrote a song called "Jersey Girl" or "My Jersey Girl," despite the fact that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Tom Waits wrote his "Jersey Girl" in 1980 — and Jersey boy Bruce Springsteen helped popularize it a year later — as long as the rest of the song is different musically, lyrically and melodically, there would be no case there, either.
In the meantime, Spears is burning up the charts with her tune and breaking some records along the way. "Hold It Against Me" immediately shot to #1 on iTunes upon release this week and broke all previous records for most spins upon its release on Monday.

Will Britney Spears' 'Hold It Against Me' Match Past Success?

Forget about the trash-talking battle between Britney Spears supporters and Lady Gaga's Little Monsters about which diva will rule 2011. And, for the moment, disregard the fact that when Britney drops her latest single, "Hold It Against Me," on Tuesday, she'll have some stiff chart competition in the form of another new single from a pair of major dudes, Kanye West and Jay-Z's cryptically named "H.A.M.," the first single from their upcoming joint album, Watch the Throne.
The real question is: Will Britney be able to live up to her past glory? The club-thumping "Against Me" comes out after the former teen pop star cemented a career comeback in 2008 with her Circus album and its ensuing smash world tour. But a look at Brit's success on the singles chart with the first single from her album is a lesson in the ups and downs of a pop star's career arc.
While some songs were unexpected smashes out of the box (think "3" and "Womanizer"), others either failed to chart ("My Prerogative") or didn't do as well as you might have expected ("I'm a Slave 4 U").
Billboard ran down the chart debuts of the first singles from each of Spears' albums, and they tell an interesting tale that could bode well for her latest chart attack.
5: Number of first singles from Spears' eight albums (which includes two best-ofs) that have hit the top 10.
3: Number of Hot 100 #1 songs that have been the lead singles from that project.
2: Brit's last two singles ("3" and "Womanizer") have hit #1 on the Hot 100.
5.1 million: Combined digital sales for those tracks.
43: Combined weeks on the charts for those singles.
32: Highest number of weeks on the chart for a lead single (" ... Baby One More Time").
85: Lowest chart debut for a lead single ("Gimme More").
95: Number of spots "Womanizer" jumped in week two on the singles chart after debuting at #96.
16: "3" became only the 16th song in Hot 100 history to debut at #1 in October 2009.
How do you think Britney's "Hold It Against Me" will do in its chart debut? Let us know in the comments!

Rumer Willis Parties It Up with Zac Efron
Treating herself to a midweek evening of partying, Rumer Willis was spotted hitting up a nightclub in Los Angeles last night (January 12).
The ?House Bunny? actress was joined by a few friends, and looked fabulous in a low-cut coral dress as she partied with fellow young stars including Zac Efron.
In her recent interview for Prestige magazine, Rumer shared that she?s always wanted to be an actress, having grown up in a showbiz family.
?I always wanted to do it from when I was super little, so it was more about just waiting for my parents to say it was OK. They were totally fine, they?ve always been completely supportive of it. They just wanted me to finish high school, which I totally appreciate now.?
As for the constant media attention, Ms. Willis explained, ?You have to be a little more aware of how you present yourself in public places. I mean, I can?t walk into Starbucks anymore in my pajama pants. But, you know, everyone has an opinion, and if they say something negative, you can?t defend yourself because any response in itself is enough to validate the claim. But that?s the great thing about outlets like Twitter because, more and more, we?re getting control of our image. We can be in direct contact with the world and people can at least choose between second-hand and the direct information.?
