PHOTOS: Zooey Deschanel Shows Off Her Chicken Dance

Actress and singer Zooey Deschanel stopped by The Grove for a chat with Mario Lopez of Extra about her new hit FOX show, New Girl, and becoming a new aunt. She also taught Lopez how to do her version of the chicken dance.


Deschanel said her dorky adorable New Girl character, Jess, is a little like she is in real life. “I think she’s the 13-year-old me,” she laughed. “I’m not mature at all. I’m more like 15.”

Zooey could not stop gushing about her new nephew, the son of sister, Bones actress Emily Deschanel: “He’s so cute. He’s 2 weeks old, doesn’t do much yet. He touches his face a lot. Hey, he didn’t know he had a face! I’d touch my face a lot if I just found out I had a face two weeks ago!”

As for her singing career, Zooey said her folk duo She & Him will release a Christmas album in October. “I know it’s early, but it’s to get people ready for the holidays.

Michael Jackson Forever Tribute Rocks Out With Christina Aguilera And Jamie Foxx

The Michael Jackson Forever Tribute Concert kicked off Saturday to celebrate the life of the King of Pop.  Katherine, La Toya, Tito, Marlon and Jackie Jackson were in attendance as well as all three of Jackson’s children, Prince, Paris and Michael Joseph Jr. (Blanket).

Janet, Jermaine and Randy Jackson were absent because they were against holding the concert during the same time as Dr. Conrad Murray’s manslaughter trial.

Randy and Jermaine Tweeted: “While we wholeheartedly support the spirit of a tribute that honors our brother, we find it impossible to support an event that is due to take place during the criminal trial surrounding Michael’s death.”

The Black Eyed Peas dropped out last minute and Jennifer Hudson did not make it, but Ne-Yo, Jamie Foxx,  Leona Davis, Beyonce (via video), Christina Aguilera, and Cee Lo Green all performed. Fox sang MJ’s Billie Jean and Lady in My LifeLewis performed Stranger in Moscow with ballerinas dancing in the background. Beyonce sang I Wanna Be Where You Are, via video.

Aguilera belted Smile and Dirty Diana and Green gave a soulful rendition of I Can’t Help it and You Can’t Win.

Also performing were Smokey Robinson, Alien Ant Farm, Craig Davis, Gladys Knight, Pixie Lott, 3T (Jackson’s nephews), Yolanda Adams and Alexandra Burke who all sang some of MJ’s biggest hits. Foxx joined SLS and The Jacksons to perform Rock With You and Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough. Jackson’s children danced on stage during the show’s finale, Don’t Stop. 

Jennifer Hudson Tweeted about her absence: “To my u.k. fans that were coming to the mj show in wales, I will no longer be attending due to major production issues. I would have thought they would have informed you all by now, so since they did not, I am. Thank u for your support.”

Paul McCartney Marries Nancy Shevell

Paul McCartney and longtime girlfriend Nancy Shevell got married in an intimate ceremony in London Sunday, in the same place at which he wed his first wife, Linda, back in 1969.

McCartney’s daughters Stella, Mary, Heather, and Beatrice and son James were all in attendance.

Shevell wore a flower in her hair and long-sleeved, v-neck, knee-length ivory dress. Her new stepdaughter, Stella McCartney,  designed Shevell’s shoes as well as her dad’s navy blue suit.

Fox Renews The Simpsons For Two More Years!

The longest-running prime time comedy in TV history, The Simpsons, just got renewed for at least two more years, making the 2013-2014 season its 25th year in production.

WOO HOO!

Fox made the announcement after a lengthy negotiations stalemate ended with its six principle voice actors who agreed to have their salaries cut by about a third, rather than the 45 percent that 20th Century Fox TV had requested they accept to keep the show going. So, now, instead of their current $440,000 per episode, they will each receive $300,000 per episode for the next two seasons.

Sounds like a win-win-win for the network, the actors and all die-hard Simpsons fans.

Sex and the City’s Kristin Davis Adopts a Baby Girl!

Like her character on Sex and the CityKristin Davis has adopted a baby girl –The domestic adoption was finalized a few months ago.

The little one’s name?  Gemma Rose Davis. The 46-year-old elated mom said, “This is something I have wanted for a very long time. Having this wish come true is even more gratifying than I ever had imagined. I feel so blessed.”

It’s been no secret that Kristin has longed to be a mother for quite some time. 
In 2008, she told Healthmagazine: “I would love to adopt. And I would still like to find a man and have a baby with him.” She added, “I haven’t given up.” 
In 2010 she told Access Hollywood: “You have to obviously think it through,” she shared. “Best case scenario, you’re obviously raising it with a father. It does give me pause to think about doing it alone. I feel like it’s a really hard job.”

Congrats to the happy family!

FLAAS works to break down barriers to adoption which impacts our city’s homeless pets. FLAAS is a volunteer-run organization that funds life-saving surgeries and special projects for orphaned animals. Their goal is to increase adoptions and help the animals in our city shelters. http://friendsoflaanimalshelters.org/

With a passion for animals, Bobby Dorafshar started training dogs in the late 1980’s. In 1990, he opened Advanced K9 Services, a training/boarding business he operated out of his home. It was important to Bobby, his wife, Kelly and their staff that every dog that stayed with them felt like they were at home, whether they were boarding for a few days or staying for three weeks of training. And just as important was that all Advanced K9 Services clients were treated as friends and that they felt comfortable with the personal attention and care that was given to their pets. Advanced K9 Services has become K9s Only and opened a larger, brand-new, state of the art facility to accommodate everyone’s training and boarding needs. Bobby designed and built K9s Only to meet your dog’s every desire. His passion for animals is evident in every detail. In addition to training and boarding, K9 now offers daycare services, grooming and wellness/day spa services. www.k9sonly.com

Kelly Rowland Gets Candid In Cosmo UK

The former Destiny’s Child diva, Kelly Rowland, graces the cover of the November Issue of Cosmo UK and dishes about a whole host of things — A broken engagement, her affinity for British dudes, her breast implant, and not seeing her dad in 20 years.

The star looks incredibly lean and toned, in a racy red bra, black leather shorts and a cropped jacket.

Here are excerpts from the interview:
On calling off her 2005 wedding to Dallas Cowboys’ Roy Williams: 
“I was too young for marriage. I remember my sister asked me one question: She said, ‘Well, you know what you want now, don’t you?’ and I was like ‘Yes’. It was so hard and embarrassing because everyone knew. I’d posed for the front cover of a magazine in my wedding dress and it was on sale! But sometimes you fall down and you learn from it.”

On getting breast implants: 
“I just had little nuggets for boobs and it was bothering me. The decision was 10 years in the making so I’m comfortable talking about it. It’s something I really wanted to do for myself – not for a man, not for work, for myself… and I love them.”

On her estranged father: 

“He reached out to me saying he wanted to see me, but it’s unfortunate he did it so publicly. I want to meet him, and soon, I really do. I forgave him a long time ago. I haven’t seen my dad for almost 20 years. It’s nothing I want a pity party for. He left me and my mum, and I was angry. I wanted to be a daddy’s girl so bad.”

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY: Tom Cruise Dancing At Friend’s Wedding

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

Tom Cruise showed off his moves on the dance floor of a friend’s wedding last weekend. Tom and Katie Holmes headed to Palm Springs to celebrate the nuptials of mutual friends, Sandy Modic and David Ellison. David also happens to be the executive producer of Tom Cruise’s upcoming new movie Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.

“Suri went to bed before the reception, and then Tom had a dance-off with a few of the guys in the wedding party,” a source told Page Six.

At the reception, a dance war was requested by one of the guests. And of course, Cruise accepted the dance off challenge. Cruise did a little bit of the worm to Maroon 5’s Moves Like Jagger. I can’t really describe it, you gotta watch the TMZ video below for yourself:
