Avril Lavigne gets second billing to Chris Daughtry at the Tom's River Fest next month.

And, as if that weren't humiliating enough, the Canadian poseur is OPENING for the Jonas Brothers on select dates of their current U.S. tour.

Ha!!!!!!

Following her Tuesday afternoon lunch at the Mustard Seed Café in Griffith Park, Rachel Bilson decided it was time for a little bonding with her little sister Hattie.

The two Bilson girls were spotted following a trip to Pinkberry in Studio City, and they looked to be having a marvelous time.  And apparently it was a hot day, as the “Jumper” actress opted for a soaking wet t-shirt.

We were giving him the benefit of the doubt, but things are not looking good for Christian Bale.

A new report has us reevaluating what we thought we knew of the Batman star.

The actor was on set last Friday shooting Terminator 4 at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico when all of a sudden he exploded!

During one scene, the director of cinematography, messed up a shot - or so Bale thought.

Christian reportedly went ballistic, screaming "I will kick your ass", amongst other harsh things.

Several hundred people - cast, crew and extras - heard the outburst.

Not cool, Christian.

Not cool at all!

Following a relaxing weekend spent with her boyfriend Hayden Christensen, a summer sexy Rachel Bilson was spotted out running a few errands in Los Angeles on Monday morning (July 21).

Wearing a short sleeved, knee-length printed dress with two-strapped sandals, the former OC star was spotted dropping into an In & Out shop before popping into the local dry cleaners.

At NBC's TCA press conference yesterday, network co-chairs Ben Silverman and Marc Graboff confirmed their plans to eject Jay Leno from The Tonight Show via jerry-rigged catapult device on May 29, 2009. That gives them only three rushed days to erect a new set and change the dressing room door names from "Kevin Eubanks" to "Masturbating Bear" for the premiere of replacement host, Conan O'Brien. There to press the executives on the questionably motivated decision to fire the highest-rated name in late night (Graboff insisted they'd like to keep Leno at NBC Universal, but give us a break): Leno himself, disguised in a bald wig, goatee, and glasses:

"Now, Brett Favre retired and then wanted to come back, and the Packers said no. What do you make of that?" Leno also asked, alluding to some speculation that NBC might bring him back on "Tonight" and prompting the following response by NBC co-chairman Ben Silverman, "Well, everyone's entitled to change their mind, but I would imagine that puts management in an impossible situation."

Also on Leno's list of questions: "Is it true that you offered Leno a fifth hour on the 'Today' show?"

The stunt, labeled by Graboff as "Jay's homage to Kimmel," didn't play as well the second time, causing more confusion than laughs since, with a bald cap and beard, Leno was all but unrecognizable.

As many have noted already, the stunt was almost identical to one pulled by Jimmy Kimmel last week, differentiated only by the fact that Kimmel's succeeded in making the reporters present laugh, as opposed to just feeling kind of awkward, filling the bloated silence that followed every wounded query by shifting their gazes downward and flipping haphazardly through their notepads. That said, no amount of bald wigs or NFL analogies can appear to save Leno now: The epic late shift is underway. We now merely await inevitable ABC casualty Martin Bashir to try his own riff on the stunt, showing up to TCA in a burqa to press Steve McPherson on the future of Nightline.

This girl knows how to enjoy a day of pampering, and Ashley Tisdale was spotted living it up during a shopping spree and mani/pedi yesterday (July 22).

The “High School Musical” cutie made her way around Los Angeles, California looking hot in a yellow “You Can’t Break My Spirit” tank top layered over a white tank with a pair of white yoga pants and a New York Yankees ballcap.

Bypassing the usual celebrity mainstay of morning coffee, Shia LaBeouf was spotted grabbing a glass of freshly-squeezed fruit juice to begin his Monday morning (July 21).

The “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” stud looked bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in a plaid button-up shirt overtop a white t-shirt with jeans, sneakers, and a ball cap as he left a café in Los Angeles, California.

As previously reported by the Gossip Girls, Lindsay Lohan made a quick transition from her movie role on “Labor Pains” to another television guest role on “Ugly Betty.” And she was on the NYC set yesterday working hard.

The “Mean Girls” actress appeared to be enjoying her day of filming, especially when her girlfriend Samantha Ronson showed up on the set to pay her a visit.

Bollea, who has been housed with other juveniles at Pinellas County Jail, will be moved to an adult facility on Sunday, aka his 18th birthday. It's an open dormitory type of setting where he'll be in close contact with other adult inmates. The inmates are either awaiting sentencing or have already been sentenced in cases ranging from misdemeanors to felonies.

She's acting again!
