People of Scranton, make room for beets. The Office is coming to town. Pressman Toy and NBC Universal will be hosting a day of Office-themed festivities in the real-life...

The contract between the Broadway League (the producers) and the Actors' Equity Association (the thespians) has expired as of Sunday. Both sides, however, say negotiations on a new contract are continuing.

Luckily, neither side wants a repeat of the strikes that took place last November by the stagehands. That resulted in more than two dozen Broadway shows being dark for 19 days.

Oh, and it also cost the producers and city millions of dollars in lost revenues!

Peaceful strikes can make an impact.

In a joint statement, both sides have said "The talks remain productive and both parties are confident a fair and equitable contract will be reached."

The negotiations will include talks about the obvious, such as health care benefits and pension.

They will also be talking about the touring program, which was started back in 2004, which allows for different levels of pay for different kinds of tours such as the large hits like Wicked, which can last in some cities for weeks and months.

Then the lesser known plays are usually riskier and will only play weekly sets at a lower pay scale.

Also taken into consideration will be the topic of "new media" in which scenes and performers from the shows are used to promote the shows on the Internet.

Whatever happens, let's just hope they don't go on strike.

He's already the unlikeliest leading man in Hollywood, but are you ready for Seth Rogen: Action Hero? He is, kinda, as he preps for his tights-wearing close-up in The Green Hornet, set for...

A glowing Lily Allen sucks a fatty at Glastonbury on Saturday.

Perhaps the hard-pAArtying singer was numbing her pain away????

It's about time!

Looks like Ticketmaster will have some serious competition. Hopefully this will cause it to be competitive - and lower its prices!!!!!!

Live Nation, the owners and promoters of music venues all around the world (who also gave Jay Z and Madonna those crazy $100 million contracts), will be launching its own ticketing arm once its contract with Ticketmaster expires at the end of the year.

A little competition is always good for us buyers!

But at the end of the day, Live Nation is a big corporation, too.

Just plan on them taking your money in other ways - like scalping their own tickets!

While taking a break from shooting ‘Labor Pains’ in the San Fernando Valley, Lindsay and her gal pal were seen holding hands in clear sight of the paparazzi.

The other day, Jessica Simpson sported a t-shirt that read “Real Girls Eat Meat’ and naturally, this remark has upset Pamela Anderson, a devoted vegetarian and keen lover of animals.

Speaking on an Australian radio station, Pam fumed:

I think she is a bitch and whore. Actually, I don’t know if she was talking about food or men. [Not eating meat] is healthy, good for your body and good for the environment.

Victoria Beckham admits to the British media that ex-boyfriend, former child star Corey Haim, didn't want to have sex with her.

The Spice Girl dated the Z Lister in 1995, before she rose to fame with her girl group.

Vicky says, "We didn’t have sex or anything. In actual fact, he didn’t seem to want to try. The most we did was kiss….Looking back it’s hard to work out whether I really fancied him or if I was just a bit of a sad fan."

Posh probably doesn't really give a shit about Corey Haim saying she is a horrid kisser or that he never wanted to sleep with her…she now shares a bed with David 'Golden Balls' Beckham!

Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins revealed that Britney’s new album will probably drop in early 09′.

He describes it as,

Very dancey, really uptempo. Ya know… in the clubs, real aggressive, and catchy. Very very very hook friendly. She very professional. She walked in at 8:30 and was out by 10:30.

This was his first time in seven years back in studio with Brit. He was the brains and talents behind Spears’ “Overprotected (Remix) and says he’s “trying to reinvent her.”

Let’s hope Britney kicks some ass come 2009!
