Kelly Clarkson to sing national anthem at Super Bowl
Clarkson has been chosen to sing the national anthem before the NFL championship game at Indianapolis on Feb. 5. Since becoming the first winner of American Idol a decade ago, Clarkson has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide and had more than a half-dozen singles reach the top 10 in the Billboard Hot 100. Among her hit songs: "Since U Been Gone" and "My Life Would Suck Without You." Her latest album, Stronger, was released last year. Clarkson is currently on tour and appeared as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live last weekend.
A rep for jewelry designer Gurhan says that Olivier Martinez, Berry's boyfriend of more than a year, has given her a diamond-and-emerald engagement ring. The Oscar-winning actress, 45, costarred with Martinez, 46, a French actor, in the 2010 film Dark Tide. They soon became an item off-screen. Berry has been married twice before – to baseball player David Justice in the early 1990s, and to singer Eric Benét in the early 2000s. She has a daughter, Nahla, who will be 4 in March, with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry. Martinez split with Australian pop star Kylie Minogue in 2007 after four years of dating.
Avatar Delayed 2 Years til 2016Are you keenly anticipating the "Avatar" sequels? You're going to have to wait a little longer - two years longer than previously anticipated. Speaking at a screening for "Titanic 3D", Producer Jon Landau confirmed it would be a good wait before we return to Pandora - "We are excitedly working on it as we speak and it will be four or so years before it will be out" This would seem to push back the release of the second film to 2016, quite a jump from the December 2014 & 2015 dates for the two sequels that were previously being targeted. Landau is confident however it'll be a better film than the first - “We are excited and we have a lot of the same team working with us, some great design and ideas and some great themes hopefully.”
Corey Feldman to Name Names in New Book
Former child star Corey Feldman has vowed to write a book, one that will name the people he says abused him. He says, "When I was 14 and 15,things were happening to me. These older men were leching around like vultures. It was basically me laying there pretending I was asleep and them going about their business." Feldman says he hopes the book will spare others abuse. "I will write a book -- I will put all the information forward. There are people who have got away with it for so long they think they are above the law -- that's got to stop." That's not to say that Feldman is unaware of the dangers he could put himself -- or his family -- in by writing such an exposée. It's a risk he took when he first broached the subject during an interview on ABC last year, in which he discussed the death of his longtime friend and fellow child star Corey Haim. "I stood up and said there is a bigger problem, that I'd lost Corey and that I didn't want to see any more kids lost to these sick perverts,"

Oldboy Delayed
Spike Lee's remake of the highly acclaimed 2003 Korean cult classic "Oldboy" at Mandate Pictures seems to have hit a stumbling block. Jeff Sneider posted on his Twitter that production on the film has been pushed back to late summer/early fall due to star Josh Brolin's press commitments for "Men in Black 3". Shortly after that he added that Clive Owen is out as the villain in the film. At last report Owen was considering signing on as the film's main antagonist. Owen was offered the part after Colin Firth passed on the role. The story follows a man who as kidnapped and held for 15 years in solitary confinement without explanation. He is eventually released and sets out on a path of revenge.
Ward willing to take big pay cut
Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward wants to play next season, and would take a significant pay cut to stay in Pittsburgh. Ward, who has spent all 14 of his NFL seasons with the Steelers, shot down rumors that he would retire following a career-worst season in which he totaled just 46 catches for 381 yards. "I'd probably have to restructure my contract," the 35-year-old said about the possibility of returning to the team. "That's fine with me. I recognize that. I'm telling you I want to be here, I'm telling you I'm willing to do that. And I understand the ramifications — we have the cap number and stuff, but I want to be here." Ward said he would be "devastated" if he cannot play for the Steelers in 2012, but said he would still attempt to play elsewhere if the team opts to release him. The Steelers must decide by March whether to pay Ward a roster bonus or cut ties with the Super Bowl XL MVP. The two-time Super Bowl winner, who was paid $4 million this season, became the eighth player to reach 1,000 catches in the final game of the regular season.
Tatum, Bomer Won't Go Nude in Magic Mike
Women and gay men everywhere have been keenly awaiting Steven Soderbergh's male stripper film "Magic Mike" with its all-star cast of beefcake including Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer, Joe Manganiello and more. Today however Channing Tatum has let down those dreams a little by confirming one bit of information - none of these guys will do a Michael Fassbender in "Shame" style flash. “Hard R. It’s a very hard R. Not NC-17, we don’t want it to go that far. You’ve got a bunch of naked guys. It won’t be full frontal, it’s just thongs or whatever you want to call them and underwear” he tells "White Collar" star Matt Bomer adds that he worked out and gained about 15 pounds for his role in 'Mike'. However because of some of the other huge guys involved, he focused on having a swimmer's build rather than getting big.

Jillian Michaels: I’ve Been Matched with a Little Girl
Jillian Michaels is only an ocean away from motherhood. After announcing in 2010 that she would be focusing her efforts on starting a family, the former Biggest Loser trainer began the adoption process in the Democratic Republic of Congo. And while she has finally received her referral, Michaels’ future daughter awaits the day they are reunited — in Haiti. “I’ve been matched with a little girl,” she says. “I went over to visit orphanages and I ended up falling in love with this little girl, and by the grace of God, I got matched up with her.” However, while Michaels, 37, is elated that her dream of being a mother is quickly becoming a reality, she admits it is still too soon to celebrate. “I now have to get her home … it could take up to a year to get her home,” she says. ”Anything can happen and fall through or fall apart, so it’s kind of premature for me to say it, but that’s where it’s at.”Tatum, Bomer Won't Go Nude in Magic Mike
