Anne Hathaway and James Franco Do Hilarious Oscar Promo

Anne Hathaway and James Franco Do Hilarious Oscar Promo

With the Academy Awards only weeks away on Feb. 27, Anne Hathaway and James Franco are feverishly whipping themselves into shape for their upcoming hosting duties.

As proof, a newly released ABC promo shows the duo "rigorously preparing for every possible Oscar emergency." Set to the theme music from Rocky, the clip depicts Hathaway and Franco warming up for their emceeing stint by doing biceps curls with -- what else? -- Oscar statuettes. It then cuts to a dance lesson, where Hathaway clumsily topples to the floor after a twirl (apparently they still have some work to do in the choreography department). But what if the strap should break on Anne's dress mid-ceremony, causing a Janet Jackson-esque "wardrobe malfunction"? Don't worry -- Franco's got that covered. Literally. Watch below and see for yourself!

 

In addition to his hosting duties, Franco, 32, is nominated for best actor for his role in 127 Hours. While Hathaway isn't up for an Academy Award this year, the 28-year-old is a nominee for several categories in our 2nd Annual iVillage Entertainment Awards (which are just as prestigious)! She and Love and Other Drugs costar Jake Gyllenhaal are in the running for Sexiest Onscreen Chemistry. And she's also a contender for Most Flawless Red-Carpet Fashionista, as well as Most Spot-On SNL Impression of a Star for her hilarious portrayal of Katie Holmes.

Katy Perry's World Tour: Candy, Cupcakes and Meat, Oh My!

Katy Perry's World Tour: Candy, Cupcakes and Meat, Oh My!

Katy Perry is about to embark on her first headlining tour -- and she's giving it the same wonderfully wacky treatment that she brings to her red carpet fashions. Perry, 26, tells Rolling Stone that she is approaching her worldwide "California Dreams" tour as if it's a Broadway show.

"It's got a storyline...kind of loosely based on my life, but a cartoon version," explains Perry, who says she'll be doing no less than 15 costume changes throughout the show. She also has some pretty unique ideas about the atmosphere she wants to create -- even down to how the theater will smell.

"It's the first concert that's going to smell good," she promises. "It's going to smell like you're in cotton candy heaven."

So does that mean she's taking a cue from her fabulous Candyland-themed "California Gurls" video? Yes indeed -- but this time, she's adding some protein.

"I have this whole thing in my show that is about candy and cupcakes and meat," she says. "It's both sweet and shocking, but not in a sexual way." Intriguing!

The 95-date tour kicks off in February, but fans may get a sneak peek when Perry performs at the Grammys on February 13th. Though she's keeping her rehearsals under lock and key, she says that it's going to be her "favorite performance ever."

In addition to being nominated for four Grammys, Perry also is leading the nominees for Celeb Whose Wild Style We Can't Get Enough Of in our iVillage Entertainment Awards. Think she can yank the title out from under Lady Gaga? Cast your vote now!

The Today Show Asks: What is the Internet?


This is both hilarious and incredible.

The following clip is courtesy of a break during Today Show filming in 1994. In it, hosts Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel disagree on the meaning of the "at" symbol and ask producers a question: What the heck is the Internet?!?

It's astounding to think about, really. As recently as 16 years ago, major network anchors had no clue about the World Wide Web. Fast forward fewer than two decades and even Sarah Palin has this thing mastered. Amazing.


What is the Internet?

Lindsay Lohan to Charlie Sheen: Good Decision!


We're not sure what her praise means, considering her own track record, but at least the message is positive, one troubled star reaching out to another.

Lindsay Lohan believes Charlie is currently in the midst of a "life or death situation" and is "thrilled" that Sheen checked into rehab, according to TMZ.

Sources report that Lindsay had been "worried" about Sheen because his most recent bender and hospitalization show "obvious signs of addiction."

Hey, she would know from experience.

After Sheen decided to check himself into a treatment center Friday, Lindsay is confident he can get his life back together - if he's committed to it.

Lohan knows the pitfalls the wrong hangers-on can bring and "wants Charlie to understand he must surround himself with positive, sober people."

We're guessing Kacey Jordan, Melanie Rios and Capri Anderson don't qualify.

It's worth nothing that Lohan has been sober for months now, though there was the small matter of that fight in rehab over a drug test. Details.

What do you think: Can Charlie get clean?
