Louis Ferreira and I share more than one thing in common: we both speak Portuguese aside from English and both of us were not Sci-Fi kind of guys before Stargate Universe — the latest entity in the space-themed franchise, which premiers today at 9 p.m. exclusively on Space.

Ferreira’s resume includes an impressive amount of TV and film work. His characters range from The Donald himself in a Trump TV-movie, to lead roles in shows like “Trinity” and “Missing,” guest spots on “24” and “CSI Miami,” among tens of other TV series and films, including a a role in this year’s “Grey Gardens” with Drew Barrymore. Still, Sci-Fi remained unexplored territory for the actor (aside from a very short stint on “Star Trek”).

So how did he wind up on one of the most successful Sci-Fi franchises of all time? It’s actually quite a serendipitous story which Fereira (formerly known as Justin Louis) shared with andPOP.

Side story: when the Portuguese-born, Toronto-raised actor kicked off his career in the late ‘80s, early ‘90s, Vancouver was a booming destination for film productions so he’d go there whenever work would dry up in Toronto. “I remember being in my twenties and being like, ‘If I could have the ultimate lifestyle, it would be the farm in Toronto, the apartment in New York’ and I said, ‘a boat!’ If you could live on a boat like “Miami Vice” you would want to do it in Vancouver,” shared the Gemini winner.

Carrie Prejean, the former Miss California who made headlines for opposing same-sex marriage, has been forced to leave her post by Donald Trump.

“I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California USA Organization and I gave her the opportunity to do so,” Trump said in a statement. “Unfortunately it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen.

“Carrie is a beautiful young woman and I wish her well as she pursues her other interests.”

Christina Aguilera, “Dirty” diva and recent mom, has been hired by Donald Trump to perform at a party for the opening of his new hotel in Dubai, Trump International Hotel & Tower.

Aguilera will perform for the Donald at a private estate in Los Angeles. Pete Wentz, soon-to-be-dad, is also set to DJ for the night.

This will mark the second time Aguilera has performed since giving birth to her son, Max, in January. Most recently, Aguilera has been in the studio working on a new album and shot a P.S.A. with her newborn son for the Rock the Vote campaign.

Comedian ANDY DICK was forcibly removed by security during an appearance on US talk show JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE Friday night, after repeatedly touching guest IVANKA TRUMP without her permission.

Trump, the daughter of real estate mogul DONALD TRUMP, was attempting to promote her reality show THE APPRENTICE, when Dick kept interrupting her with rude comments.

The troubled comedian repeatedly rubbed Trump’s legs and touched her hair, while Kimmel begged him to behave himself.

When Dick asked Trump to “give him a big, fat, sloppy wet kiss right on the lips” and grabbed her arm, Kimmel called in two security guards.

The talk show host carried Dick’s feet and helped the guards drag him out of the studio.

Trump was a good sport after the incident telling Kimmel, “That was brilliant. See, that was a much more entertaining segment.

“I could sit here and talk to you about the buildings I’m building in Chicago and Las Vegas, but I’m sure you’d much prefer to see Andy Dick actually forcefully removed from a stage.”

He said he’d do it and he did it – the Donald is suing.

Although it’s not his latest target, Rosie O’Donnell Donald Trump is suing, it’s his last one, the city of Palm Beach in Florida.

E! Online is reporting that the Donald has filed a $10 million lawsuit against the city, who ordered him to take down his American Flag in October. Trump is claiming the city is violating his right to free speech.

City officials ordered Trump to take down his flag, saying he needed a building permit because the flag was over the city’s limits. Trump claims the city has unfairly targeted him, while allowing other citizens to raise similar flags. The lawsuit was filed last Thursday.

Trump is also looking for lawyer’s fees to be covered and says he will donate any money he wins to veterans who return home from Iraq.

The Miss USA who has been more misbehaviour lately, will be allowed to keep her crown for the rest of her term.

E! Online reports that despite the allegations of hard partying, canceled photo ops and all-around bad role modeling, Tara Conner will keep her crown, this coming from the mouth of Donald Trump.

“I’ve always been a believer in second chances,” Trump, who owns both the Miss USA and the Miss. Universe Pageants, said at a press conference.

He also would not entertain any questions about the reported de-crowning of Conner, only saying he made a last minute ruling on whether or not she keeps the crown because she is a “good person.”

He also noted that she will be checking into rehab (though he did not disclose which one), and that her duties will be smaller while she “receives the help she needs during this personal time.”

While he may praise Brad Pitt, Donald Trump had some harsh words for Angelina Jolie.

Hollywood.com reports that the businessman “blasted” Jolie for being estranged from her father, actor Jon Voight, saying that she “treats him like a dog” and should allow him to see his grand children on Larry King Live.

“I know her father. Her father is a nice guy. I think she treats him like a dog but maybe they have some kind of a thing.

“I mean this poor sap, he comes along and he practically begs her, ‘I want to see my grandson (Maddox). I want to see this.’ I mean, if I were with him, I’d say, ‘Forget it. It’s over.’

“She just treats him terribly. She’s been with so many guys she makes me look like a baby… And I just don’t even find her attractive. That has nothing to do with why I said it, though.”

However, the Donald had a turnaround on another celeb he recently criticized – K. Fed.

“I heard the other day that his all-time hero is Donald Trump. You know when somebody likes you, you say, ‘Hey.’ So, I totally changed my mind. I think Kevin Federline is fantastic.”

Donald Trump applauds Brad Pitt’s public statement that he will not marry Angelina Jolie until same sex marriage is legal in the United States, Life Style Extra reports.

The Donald calls it an “excellent” way for Pitt to remain a bachelor and still enjoy the perks of being in a relationship.

“It makes him look really concerned about the plight of other people. Yet at the same time, he doesn’t have to get married. This guy is smarter than I thought,” Trump wrote on his blog.

Trump also has advice for other celebrities marriages. He recommends Paris Hilton get a pre-nup should she ever wed, and has admitted he is “worried” about Britney Spears.
