Brooke Burns on 'Zoey 101'

Jamie Lynn Spears is gradually making the transition from teen series to more matured sitcoms. While viewers are enjoying Spears on her current role as Zoey Brooks on Zoey 101 on Nickelodeon, fans have something to look forward to when the 16-year-old actress graces the upcoming comedy series Miss/Guided.

Miss/Guided, which is set to air in 2008 on ABC, will be featuring Spears apart from her down-to-earth teenager Zoey 101 role. According to Us Magazine, she will be playing an edgy “party girl.” As of the moment, there are no other details disclosed about her upcoming character but a show insider says that Spears is “a real pleasure to work with.”

Created by Gabrielle Allan and Caroline Williams, Miss/Guided follows the life of Becky Freeley (Judy Greer) a guidance counselor at a high school that she attended when she was a teenager. While the show gives viewers an inside look at the lives of both the students and faculty, the show is also about second chances, not only for Becky but for Lisa (Brooke Burns), a former cheerleader and rival of Becky in high school, who is now working as the school's English teacher.

Although this isn't her first time to guest star on a TV program, it's her first time to appear on a series with a primetime slot. Apart from Zoey 101, Spears' credits include All That and the movie Crossroads, which starred her older sister, Britney Spears.

This is deemed to be a pleasant experience for the Zoey star given that her long-time celebrity crush, Ashton Kutcher, is one of the producers of the series. Aside from Miss/Guided, Kutcher is also credited for MTV's Punk'd, The Real Wedding Crashers, and That ‘70s Show.

Fans can catch Jamie Lynn Spears on Zoey 101 every Sunday at 8pm on Nickelodeon.

She starred in North Shore, a prime-time soap opera on Fox that consisted of 21 episodes which ran from June 14, 2004 through January 13, 2005. She recently had a supporting role on the defunct WB series Pepper Dennis playing Kathy Dinkle.

She also made a cameo in Shallow Hal.

Raffaello Follieri, Beau of Anne Hathaway, Named in Suit

The boy-toy of Hollywood glamor girl Anne Hathaway, Raffaello Follieri, is entangled in another lawsuit, according to the New York Post.

This is potentially worse than those rather sexual photos in which Anne Hathaway apparently went to town on Raffaello Follieri while on a yacht.

According to the N.Y. Post, the D.C.-based media firm the Carmen Group is suing Follieri for $300,000, reports the Legal Times, after the Italian real estate mogul hired the company to handle his public relations in the wake of a suit brought against him by L.A.-based Yucaipa Companies in May.

The Carmen Group claims the boyfriend of Anne Hathaway never paid a $25,000 per month fee. Follieri’s rep denied the accusation, stating “The Carmen Group worked with the Follieri Group for one month and were paid for one month.”


Anne "Annie" Jacqueline Hathaway (born November 12, 1982) is an American film and stage actress. Hathaway made her acting debut in the 1999 television series Get Real, but her first prominent role was in Disney's critically-acclaimed comedy The Princess Diaries (2001), which established her career. She continued to appear in Disney films in the next three years, and she had the lead roles in Ella Enchanted and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (both 2004). Although both were popular at the box office, they received mixed reviews from critics.

Hathaway took more creative control over her career in 2005 and co-starred in the adult-themed Havoc and Brokeback Mountain. Because of the revealing scenes in both films, her contract with Disney was terminated. The Devil Wears Prada (2006) has become the highest-grossing film of her career, and Becoming Jane, in which she stars as Jane Austen, is slated for release in 2007.

Since 2004, Hathaway has been in a relationship with real estate developer Raffaello Follieri. She enjoys interior design and reading as pastimes, and has stated that she is a non-denominational Christian. Follieri started the Follieri Foundation, a charity that provides medical assistance for children living in third world nations. Hathaway began doing charity work with her boyfriend after realizing that she used to feel sorry for herself while "having everything". Follieri and Hathaway have helped vaccinate more than 1000 children in Nicaragua.

Hathaway has cited Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead (1943) as her favorite novel. It has also been stipulated that Hathaway has given a kind of "fan service" per say that includes her showing her feet. Examples of this can be found in "Havoc" and "The Princess Diaries".

Claire Danes Nipple Slip Pictures

Oops! Looks like Claire Danes might want to wear a bra next time... This Claire Danes nipple slip happened while claire was doing an on-camera interview at MTC Canada, though I don't know if it was just one lucky photographer, or an entire country's worth of a lucky audience. Though, considering that very few people in Canada actually have MTV, I doubt it would have been a country's worth.

As far as nipple slips go, though, this one is pretty big. Not only can you see Claire Danes nipple, but her entire breast, too. Not there's that much to see, but still. But I guess that's the point. She's not very big up top, so wearing a bra is generally optional. I guess next time she'll be more aware of the photographer with a bird's eye view when she leaning over, and partially revelaing her breasts. I mean, that happens every day, no?

Personal Quotes

(On co-star Kate Beckinsale on hoping to become friends) "That was wrong. We didn't. She's complicated. She's prickly".

"I live in an adult World, but I'm a kid. I love the work. But I no longer have a group of friends to hang out with regularly."

(on education vs. career) "I was told that my going to college wouldn't be good for my career. I think that's nonsense. It's good to empower yourself by cutting yourself off from this business every once in a while."

"I have a huge, active imagination, [and] I think I'm really scared of being alone; because if I'm left to my own devices, I'll just turn into a madwoman."

"My line about Arnold is that he doesn't get in his own way. He is not apologetic about achieving his goals. And when you have that attitude, it's amazing what one can accomplish. He wanted to give me relationship advice. I was having trouble with a female friend, and he said, be really forthright and do not accommodate her needs excessively. I took his advice and we're not friends anymore. So there you go."

"I was intimidated. There was the accent, the period of the film, and I had to act badly. I kept laughing during those scenes because I was god-awful. I've worked so hard to be good, and now I had to work even harder to be bad." [on 'Stage Beauty']

"It's very difficult to judge yourself. Extreme self-doubt is only attractive when it's fictionalized. Which is why people love the movies. They are so reassuring."

"I had an unwavering focus. My parents never condescended to me. As a child, I always sat at the head of our dinner table. I was always given a lot of responsibility. It was all rather amazing when I think about it now."

"I was a very confident child. I knew I wanted to be an actress from the age of 5. Madonna was my original muse -- around 5, I saw her perform on TV, and I realized that performing could be one's vocation. Then, at 7 or 8, I realized that most actors don't make a lot of money, and I amended my plan. But at 9, I seized my destiny. I made a formal announcement to my parents that I had to be true to my art. Money or no money, acting is my calling."

Anna Faris Makes Funny

"Scary Movie" queen Anna Faris has landed a new gig. She is set to star in a fish-out-of-water project from Legally Blonde screenwriters Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith.

The project is based on an original idea by Faris that she brought to the writers. She'll star as a newly unemployed centerfold with no other skills to parlay into a new career. She then takes the only job she can find -- house mother at UCLA's lamest sorority.

I'm sure wacky comedy will ensue. Source
