Showbiz Top 5: Beyonce and Russell Crowe Costars?, Miley Helps Haiti, MTV Punishes Jersey Shore Cast
5. They’re remaking “A Star Is Born” and as of now, Russell Crowe and Beyonce have been named the frontrunners for the lead roles. Robert Downey Jr. was attached to the male lead at one point, but that no longer seems to be the case. The movie was originally done in the 1930s, and then was remade in 1957 with Judy Garland and James Mason, and then done again in 1976 with Barbra Steisand and Kris Kristofferson. The story is about an aging, alcoholic musician who mentors and falls in love with a young female star.
4. Miley Cyrus has rallied some of her celebrity friends for an all-star online auction to benefit the people of Haiti. Starting today, you can go to eBay.com to bid on the Herve Leger dress Miley wore to the Grammys, as well as 2 tickets to the Hollywood premiere of her movie, “The Last Song.” Nicole Richie has also donated some jewelry from her House of Harlow line and Britney Spears is offering up the custom silver Versace minidress she wore to the 2008 VMAs. There’s also stuff on there donated by Demi Lovato and Hugh Jackman and Joel Madden. All the proceeds will go to American Red Cross to support relief efforts in Haiti.
3. JWoww is proud of her fake boobies. In fact, she wants to be even prouder, so she’s planning on making them bigger. On Friday, JWoww was seen visiting the Long Island offices of a plastic surgeon who just so happens to be a breast specialist. A source says she wants to get them done in time for the second season of “Jersey Shore.”

2. MTV is cracking down on their “Jersey Shore” cast. The guidos and guidettes have been doing as many appearances as they can, earning up to $7500 a night showing up anywhere for anybody who’s willing to pay. But now MTV is telling them to pull back on the appearances or face strict fines or maybe even legal action. A source says MTV told the cast that they were allowed to do only 2 personal appearances a week and that all of their gigs had to be approved by producers. But some of them don’t care and are just going out there and taking as much cash as they can.
1. Of course the big news this weekend was the Super Bowl in Miami, and the celebrities turned out in force to watch the Saints beat the Colts, 31-17. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie brought oldest son Maddox to the game to cheer on the Saints. They were escorted into the game on a golf cart surrounded by security. And in the suite, Brad and Angelina were looking quite lovey-dovey, for those of us who are convinced their relationship is on the rocks. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes brought along little Suri. They skipped the golf cart and security detail and entered the game just like other ticket holders. Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher also opted not to have security, but may have wished they had after some paparazzi chased them into the stadium. Also spotted in a suite was John Travolta, who was seen leaving before the Saints made their game-winning comeback. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony hung out in their suite. Also spotted in the suites and in the stands were Taylor Lautner, LL Cool J, Spike Lee, Jamie Foxx, Hilary Swank and Harry Connick Jr.
