Hot off her big win at the Country Music Awards, Taylor Swift posted a photo on Twitter of her new cat, Meredith.

In the photo you can see writing on her arm. Taylor says it’s part of her acceptance speech that she gave the other night, when she won Entertainer of the Year at the CMAs. You can see she wrote names of all the artsits she worked with on her album Speak Now.

It’s cool Taylor posted a twitpic of her cat instead of bragging about all her awards. We’ve had enough of celebrities gloating for one week. Thank you for sparing us, Taylor!

Posted below is the medley of all of Taylor’s acceptance speeches at the CMAs. You can see for her last award, she invited her entire band out on stage with her. Again, Taylor never fails at letting the world now she’s the biggest sweetheart.

Kristen, Robert and Taylor were the three cast members of Twilight to attend the hand print ceremony at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in west Hollywood.

Kristen Stewart News posted a ton of photos of the event. The trio looked beautiful, appreciative and thrilled to be immortalized at the theatre. Judy Garland, Meryl Streep, Denzel Washington and Marilyn Monroe are among the iconic stars with prints displayed at Grauman’s. Looks like these three are going to be in great company.

When Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 opens on November 18, it will definitely be a blockbuster hit. I wouldn’t be surprised if it breaks any ticket sale records.

Mike Myers Secretly Weds

Yeah, baby!

Mike Myers has wed his longtime girlfriend Kelly Tisdale in a secret ceremony, said his rep to E Online. The two have been dating since 2006 and have been secretly married for several months.

“I can confirm that last fall, Mike Myers and Kelly Tisdale were married in a private ceremony and celebrated with family and friends,” his rep told E! News.

Myers’ was married once before to wife of 12 years, comedy writer Robin Ruzan, meanwhile Tisdale was previously linked with music star Moby.

It completely baffles me how celebs are able to get away with things like this. I mean, Mike Myers is by no means an A-list celebrity who is constantly being hounded by paparazzi, but you’d think at least one paparazzi would be on location. Props to him though if he’s able to be in movies AND have a private life – something that isn’t easy to do in the world of Hollywood. Must be because he’s Canadian.

Speaking of Hollywood, though, while we’re on the topic of Myers – what has he done lately? The last huge blockbuster he’s been in is, of course, Austin Powers, which I dearly miss. But he hasn’t really done much after that, has he? Sure, Shrek can count as something but he wasn’t actually acting in it. Throwing on some PJs and recording your voice in a booth isn’t exactly hard work, in my opinion.

I say it’s time to bring back another Austin Powers movie. Except no Beyonce in it, this time.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand Get Hitched in India

Katy Perry and Russell Brand finally tied the knot this past Saturday in what is being described as a “traditional Hindu ceremony” at the Aman-i-Khas resort in India, the same resort at which Brand proposed to Perry on New Year’s Eve.

The couple’s rep confirmed their nuptials, stating “Russell Brand and Katy Perry are overjoyed to confirm that they were pronounced Mr. and Mrs. Brand on Saturday, October 23. The very private and spiritual ceremony, attended by the couples’ closest family and friends was performed by a Christian minister and longtime friend of the Hudson Family. The backdrop was the inspirational and majestic countryside of Northern India.”

You can’t call it a traditional Hindu ceremony if it’s being performed under a different religion, guys! You’re so silly.

Though the venue was covered with colourful lights and flower garlands, there was one installment that was not strictly decorative. Radar Online reports that the ceremony and reception were heavily guarded by security in order to keep nosy paparazzi away from the celebration.

Congrats guys! We can’t wait to see the pics.

Michael Jackson’s Life Remembered in Variety of Films

After parties aren’t hard to come by in the entertainment world, which is why it was no surprise Michael Jackson’s burial was followed by a high-profile soiree at Villa Sorriso Ristorante in Pasadena.

It’s even less-surprising that the footage could be turned into a special screening for A&E. A DVD, with footage of the burial, is also rumoured to be in the works.

The funeral was indeed a star-studded affair, with guests including Elizabeth Taylor, Barry Bonds, Macaulay Culkin, Mila Kunis, Chris Tucker, Al Sharpton and the entire Jackson family (although they arrived nearly an hour and a half late.)

Following the ceremony at the Forest Lawn cemetary in Glendale, some of the Jackson family and other mourners went to the restaurant where Rat Pack music played throughout the night and Casablanca was screened on the walls, according to TMZ. On the way out, Corey Feldman busted out his fedora and best MJ dance move to the resounding cheers of crowds outside the restaurant.

Now with Jackson laid to rest, fans and friends will be able to remember him via the silver screen. Michael Jackson: THIS IS IT will hit theatres worldwide for an exclusive two-week engagement starting Oct. 28 thanks to Sony Entertainment. The film bears the same name as Jackson’s world tour, and will be directed by Kenny Ortega who was Jackson’s creative partner for the tour.

Footage of Jackson preparing for the tour that would have kicked off in London this summer will be included in the film, featuring rehearsals, studio time and candid backstage moments.

“This film is a gift to Michael’s fans. As we began assembling the footage for the motion picture we realized we captured something extraordinary, unique and very special. It’s a very private, exclusive look into a creative genius’s world. For the first time ever, fans will see Michael as they have never seen him before – this great artist at work,” Ortega said in a press release on Jackson’s website.

“I’m proud of the many years of friendship and creative association I shared with Michael and I’m happy that people will get a chance to see his spirit and drive in action. THIS IS IT may go down as the greatest concert that no one got a chance to see, but with this film, we get a rare portrait of Michael as he prepares for his final curtain call and what I believe was going to be his master work.”

Tickets will go on sale Sept. 27 in most cities. No details about a DVD have been released.
