This should be disturbing! Let's hope there's no audience volunteer portion of the show… Mike Tyson has announced that he's opening his show Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth at the MGM Grand in April, and he intends to take it to Broadway. If Mike Tyson wins a Tony, I'm quitting the gossip rag game.

Recently, someone caught wind of the 23-year-old, rags-2-riches-to-minimum-wager babeskies latest gig and it turns out that she went from waltzing read carpets to sweeping a local salon. Huh?
@NikkiBlonsky1 recently Twitter gushed: “It’s true I’m working @ Superstar Salon as a makeup artist & more. I’m proud 2 b workin & helpin pay bills BUT I’ll NEVER lose sight of my dream." Word?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 grossed over $1.3 BILLION worldwide, wrapping up the $7.7 BILLION film series. Raddy also took to the Broadway stage as the lead in the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
But should that earn one the title of Entertainer of the Year? Most might argue it does warrant the title. Others, however, might argue that Kim Kardashian & Co. provided more entertainment than any other. It doesn't have to be good entertainment to still be entertainment.

Producer Jeremiah Harris says "There's nothing easy on this show. From the time he and I took over and got involved, this has been a constant battle from every perspective." Producer Michael Cohl adds that the original story "was muddled [and] difficult to follow. It lacked emotion. It lacked spirit and sincerity."
The duo is optimistic about the re-tooled show. Cohl says "I am not the least bit embarrassed by any of this… We tried to do something that's ambitious to the third power."

The Suddenly Susan star replaces Bebe Neuwirth in the role. This isn't Shields' first time on Broadway. She appeared as Rizzo in Grease in 1995, and even Roxie from Chicago in 2005.
BUT WAIT! That's not all! The play is a "pantomime piece," meaning: Mimes. That's right, Vanilla Ice will be in a mimed version of Peter Pan. The theater's manager says "[He] has never performed in a pantomime before, but I am sure that he will go down as a hit..."

It seems that Zac can't stay away from those musical adaptations! The Hairspray star was so enthralled by the Broadway show Memphis that he has expressed interest in staring in a movie version of the show.
I'm in, Zac! But he'll have to watch out...Rumor has it that W director Oliver Stone wants to direct a version with Justin Timberlake as the lead. And suddenly I'm faced with this awful awful decision:
