Urging fans to adopt from a shelter instead of buying from a breeder or pet store, Justin Bieber fronts a new campaign for PETA. “Animals Can Make U Smile” ad features the teen pop star making the case for a furry companion from a local shelter.

Bieber said in a statement:

“It’s really important that people adopt. I really encourage going out to an animal shelter or a place where you can get a dog who has been abandoned or doesn’t have a home.”

The “Baby” singer is the latest celebrity to pose for the animal rights organization. Others like Khloe Kardashian, Lea Michele, Pink and Eva Mendes have lent their faces (and sometimes their naked photos) to the cause.

Model Lara Stone is the model for the February issue of Vogue Paris and Carine Roitfeld’s second to last as editor of the influential fashion bible. Stone’s cover was shot by famed photographer Mario Sorrenti and she wears Gucci from the Spring/Summer 2011 collection.

The cover is so vibrant and alive with the promise of spring and fanciful afternoons in the sun. I defintely wish for the warmer weather of this photo right now.

Marriage is not something George Clooney is interested in for himself.

Clooney appeared on Piers Morgan’s new show on CNN with his father, journalist Nick Clooney on Friday evening and had host and Dad nudging him along.

Morgan turned to the eldest Clooney and asked if he was “yearning for the moment” George takes the plunge. Nick said to his son:

“I want you to think about that. I want you to think about — we’ve been married — Nina [George's mother] and I’ve been married 51 years.”

George wasn’t having any of it:

“I hate to blow your whole news story,” said the younger Clooney, “but I was married, so I gave it a shot.”

Clooney’s one and only marriage attempt to actress Talia Balsam ended in 1993 after four years together.

He is currently dating Italian model and actress Elisabetta Canalis and has no plans to marry, in case you were wondering.

Get out your Lassos of Truth folks – Wonder Woman is headed to television again.

NBC has changed it’s mind (and leadership) and decided to take a chance on the David E. Kelley pilot of the comic book heroine now that Robert Greenblatt is the entertainment chairman at the peacock network. Earlier, NBC (along with CBS, ABC, FOX and CW) passed on the opportunity to reboot the popular 70s show in part because of the mega-licensing fees required to use the character.

Now Kelley, the writer/creator of Ally McBeal, Picket Fences, Boston Legal and The Practice (among so many others) is updating the character and storyline:

The project is described as a reinvention of the iconic D.C. comic in which Wonder Woman — aka Diana Prince — is a vigilante crime fighter in L.A. but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life.

After all the failed attempts to bring WW to screen again (big and small) this still is no guarantee it gets off the ground. It is still in the pilot stages and would have to be picked up for series sometime in May.

I have hope for this – who doesn’t love Wonder Woman? I will say, I don’t care for the Diana Prince corporate executive idea – it sounds too much like every other Kelley series and does not make me feel confident that the mythology of Wonder Woman will be worked in and hold true to the original. And please, do not put her in a law firm in any way. Ugh. (Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a lot of Kelley’s work, it’s just that it feels repetitive sometimes.)

Personally, I don’t have a problem with updating the character’s circumstances as long as the essence of who she is remains – which was more than just a crime fighter. I do think that Greenblatt could be the right exec to guide the development of this show. While at Showtime, he got Dexter and Weeds on the air so he has a feel for the off beat.

Casting is a whole other problem. The actress stepping into those bracelets has to be a whole lot of awesome to fill Lynda Carter’s bustier. I think it would be a mistake to cast a known personality for this show. Go for someone unknown who can start with a brand new slate.

What do you think? Are you good with Kelley heading the show? OK with Diana Prince, Corporate Executive extraordinaire? If you think WW should be played by a known actress – who should it be? (don’t say Natalie Portman people.)

Nicki Minaj was spotted in London wearing a skin-tight graphic print body suit, a neon pink afro wig and matching shoes, and a huge chain with a huger – is that a kitty cat? – pendant on it.   Awesome and outrageous is one thing, but this outfit has crossed the line to just plain ugly.   I appreciate the attitude, but this hurts my head.

I’ve got to wonder what Nicki wears when she’s just sitting around the house – sweats and hoodies, or stuff like this?

More pictures of Nicki after the jump. (Read the article)

Miley Cyrus gets a bad rep for no good reason according to her movie making peers.

Last month So Undercover actress Kelly Osbourne posted a photo on twitter of herself and Cyrus with cupcakes and wrote:

“Miley is one of the most hard working respectful women I have ever worked with I am learning a lot from her!”

Now Thomas Jane, who plays her father in the upcoming LOL says he thinks the world of Miley.

“Don’t believe any of that bulls–t!” Jane says of Cyrus’ sometimes bad press. “She’s a real classy lady. And that will be proven over the years. She’s a wonderful girl.”

The Last Song star also impressed Jane’s 7 year-old daughter Harlow Olivia, who she was very sweet toward:

“Miley was so sweet and nice with her,” he said. “She’s just really made me a big fan. She treated her like a real friend and my daughter was super impressed.”

Cyrus is not only earning raves from her costars but the finale of Hannah Montana captured a record number of viewers with 6.2 million people tuning in for the Disney show’s swan song.
