While Demi Moore works to overcome her recent personal problems, we have an update on her professional life:
Sarah Jessica Parker has signed on to replace Moore as Gloria Steinem in Lovelace, the upcoming biopic centered around the life of 1970s porn star Linda Lovelace. Demi dropped out of the film almost immediately after being hospitalized earlier this week.
Parker joins a cast that includes Amanda Seyfried in the title role, along Peter Sarsgaard, Adam Brody, Juno Temple and Wes Bentley.
Moore, meanwhile, is out of the hospital. Her next move is unknown, but the 911 call placed on her behalf was released to the public today.

The 49ers fell to the Giants yesterday in the NFC Championship Game and – like Billy Cundiff on the Ravens – most of the blame lies at the feet of one player: Kyle Williams, who turned the ball over TWICE on punt returns, including one fumble that led to an easy New York field goal in overtime.
Williams has taken responsibility for the mishaps, but that isn’t enough for some crazed fans.
Many have taken to Twitter and issued death threat against the little-used wide receiver, who was only pressed in to duty due to an injury.
“It certainly makes you question our culture of sports as it stands,” said Kyle’s dad, Chicago White Sox General Manager Kenny Williams, while kicker David Akers also stood up for his teammate:
“I’m irritated with the way people are treating him, absolutely. I think it’s ridiculous. You know, get a grip on what life’s about. He went out and he put his soul out there. That’s what he does. He was not trying to do anything other than make an incredible play for this team.”
We agree. And fans ought to be thanking Williams for helping to set up a Giants/Patriots Super Bowl. It’s gonna be epic!
Christmas came early for Beliebers in Brazil last night.
Justin Bieber debuted “Mistletoe” during a concert in Rio, surprising those in attendance with one of the tracks off his upcoming Christmas album. The CD will also include collaborations with Usher, Boyz II Men and Busta Rhymes.
But it doesn’t get any better than new Bieber by himself, does it? Watch and listen now!
Harry Potter took down more than just Voldemort this weekend. The final installment of this beloved franchise set numerous box office records. Among them:
The biggest-ever midnight gross ($ 43.5 million).
The biggest-ever opening day/single day haul ($ 92.1 million).
The biggest-ever IMAX opening ($ 15.5 million).
The biggest-ever opening three-day total ($ 168.8 million).
In what will likely be the first of many records set by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, the film has knocked The Twilight Saga out of a number-one perch.
The final adventure for Daniel Radcliffe and company $ 43.5 million at midnight screenings Friday morning, demolishing the $ 30 million mark set by The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
Harry cleared $ 80 overall yesterday, blowing by the $ 72 million record by The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Look for it to gross over $ 180 million before the weekend is over, which would move it past The Dark Knight and prove once and for all:
Movie goers prefer wizards to vampires and mayhem-causing superheroes.
Glenn Beck signed off from Fox News last night in a more Glenn Beckian way.
The controversial host, who went off on New Yorkers earlier this week and premiered on the network the day prior to Barack Obama’s inauguration, addressed the reasons for his departure.
Bad ratings? No. A feud with Fox News chief Roger Ailes? Please.
“This show has become a movement,” he told viewers. “It’s not a TV show and that’s why it does not belong on television anymore. It belongs in your heart. It belongs in your neighborhood.”
Ah, okay. That explains it.
Beck is off to GBTV to star online in a daily, two-hour program. You’ll need to pay to listen to his words of wisdom on a series that launches in September.
To his critics, Beck said: “You will pray for the time when I was only on the air for one hour a day.”
Under mounting pressure from fellow politicians, and with police getting involved in his recent spat of Twitter exchanges, the embattled Congressman has announced a leave of absence from his post.
Can one seek professional help for being a horny moron?
A statement from Weiner’s camp reads:
“[Congressman Weiner] will request a short leave of absence from the House of Representatives so that he can get evaluated and map out a course of treatment to make himself well. Congressman Weiner takes the views of his colleagues very seriously and has determined that he needs this time to get healthy and make the best decision possible for himself, his family and his constituents.”
The move comes after Nancy Pelosi said her colleague ought to see assistance “”without the pressures of being a member of Congress.”
It also takes place shortly after police interviewed a teen in Delaware. She admitted to exchange Tweets with Weiner, but said nothing “inappropriate” took place.
With his wife pregnant, there certainly do appear to be pressing personal matters for Weiner to attend to. Let’s hope someone confiscates his cell phone while he’s away.
