Actress Jessica Biel, sans boyfriend Justin Timberlake, hit the red carpet with co-star Dwayne Johnson for the premiere of their animated sci-fi adventure film Planet 51.

The film is about American astronaut Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker [Johnson] lands on Planet 51 thinking he's the first person to step foot on it. To his surprise, he finds that this planet is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders...like Chuck!

As for starring in the animated film Dwayne said, "For me it was the first time I had done animation and had to try to bring a character to life with my voice -- just with pitch."

Biel had a few struggles with her voice. She had to work on the pitch of her voice to make Neela sound less adult. "They wanted it higher. I was going ... " (pouring on the come-hither huskiness) ... " 'Yeah well.' And they were like, 'We're not trying to make THAT movie,' " she says, laughing.

"I was more like up here, in this pitch, which was hard for me at first, because I want to be ... " (lowering her voice again) ... "down here."

I just want to see the movie along to hear what Jessica ended up sounding like.

A little of new Hollywood was there, but most of them were over at the MOCA gala Saturday night.

The Honorary Award, an Oscar statuette, is given to an individual for "extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences, or for outstanding service to the Academy.

Those on hand to honor Bacall and Corman were Tom Hanks, Jack Nicholson, Angelica Houston, Gabby Sidibe, Virginia Madsen, Warren Beatty, Annett Bening, Quentin Tarantino, Jeff Bridges, Alec Baldwin, Abbie Cornish, Morgan Freeman, Ron Howard, Amy Smart, Maria Bello, Jennifer Tilly, Meg Tilly, Sally Kellerman, Marisa Tomei, Tom Ford, Nia Vardalos, Vera Farmiga and Dana Delany.

Reality star Shayne Lamas was busted on suspicion of DUI Saturday night around 1 a.m. in Venice, CA. She was released from custody later than morning.

Seeing that her show, Leave It to Lamas, is on E!, she spoke to E! News about the incident.

"Early Saturday morning, after consuming one drink, I willingly drove through a mandatory check point on my way home with complete confidence of passing," Lamas tells E! News. "However, the breathalyzer indicated that I was over the legal limit of blood alcohol content and was arrested onsite.

"I take full responsibility for my lack of judgment. I have always strived to be a role model for my friends, family and fans and have never nor will ever condone drinking and driving. I apologize for all those I have disappointed, including myself."

Her legions of fans will be holding vigils for the starlet at sun tanning salons across the nation at 1 a.m. this evening.

Santa Madonna is at it again.  Well, saint/cougar/menopausal mascot Madonna is spreading some of her charitable goodness down South, and I'm talking way down South, in her boytoy's homeland of Brazil.

During her stay, Madonna toured Rio de Janeiro with governor Sergio Cabral in tow, to scope out the Morro Dona Marta slum.  Her, "visit to the shanty town with Mr. Cabral was part of a series of meetings to discuss social projects in the country."  She also mingled among the likes of Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes at the home of a Brazilian billionaire to campaign her efforts.  It looks like her majesty's generosity and concern for needy youth stretches beyond her Malawi efforts. 

Also on her Brazilian agenda was a visit with the mother of her 23 year-young Brazilian beau, Jesus Luz.  Although there had been signs of disapproval in the past, looks like Luz's mama, Cristiane Regina Da Silva (only 15 years Maddie's junior), has accepted the now year-long relationship between her son and the Material Girl, as evidenced by Da Silva's appearance at the couple's hotel for an informal meet-up.

Hmmmm.  Visiting the country to set up a kid's charity?  Do you have a possible interest in adopting a Brazilian baby, Madonna?  If so, it might not be so easy getting Regina De Silva's consent.

Chaske Spencer, a member of New Moon's Wolf Pack, was spotted catching a flight on Friday at LAX. He was headed to Canada to join co-stars Kellan Lutz and Christian Serratos for a New Moon fan event.

The group greeted hundreds of Twilight fans yesterday who lined up at West Edmonton Mall.

New Moon focuses on a new relationship budding between Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart) and werewolf Jacob Black (played by Taylor Lautner) and promises to be darker and more action-packed, said Spencer, who plays lead werewolf Sam Uley.

"There is more action, guys should come check it out," Spencer told Sun Media. "As well, anyone can relate to this movie because it's about outsiders. A lot of people are outsiders and feel like they don't fit into society."

Spencer said he's been able to "fly under the radar" since he joined Twilight, but has started to don a baseball cap and sunglasses as the premiere date nears and the excitement around the movie intensifies.

Janet Jackson will open the 37th annual AMA's this year, a year which might have been Michael's big comeback year.

Michael Jackson will receive five posthumous American Music Award nominations, so it only seems fitting that a Jackson should open up the ceremonies.  She's the obvious choice since, let's face it, Janet is the Jackson with the highest potential to hold it together and not weird-out in this highly prestigious setting.

AMA producer Larry Klein expressed he is, "thrilled about having Janet Jackson open this year's show," which is rumored to include, "an eight minute medley of songs," which will surely honor big brother, Michael as a tribute.   Career-wise the timing could not be better as Ms. Jackson is set to release a two-disc singles collections titled Number Ones as well as a new album, "slated to be released in 2010."

Now thin-again Janet has 9 AMA awards under her belt and has performed at the Awards on three other occasions.

To represent the full spectra of artist personalities, 21 AMA Award recipient Whitney Houston will also be performing, and will receive the "International Artist Award."  Shakira, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Clarkson, Jay-Z, Carrie Underwood, and Green Day are also set to perform.
