The Catching Fire casting carousel has landed on Jena Malone.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the former Sucker Punch actress is a frontrunner for the key role of Johanna Mason, a District 7 Tribute who doesn't get along too well with Katniss in Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games follow-up.

While Lionsgate has not yet commented on any casting rumors, and while names continue to be bantered about for both Johanna and Finnick Odair, no new actors or actresses have actually signed on yet.

It's unclear why. Kristen Bell is clearly perfect for Johanna and has made no secret of her passion for The Hunger Games.

Who do you think should portray Johanna Mason?

Louis C.K. is far from apologetic about the profane Sarah Palin Tweets that caused major controversy and cost him his White House Correspondents' Dinner gig.

The Louis star was slated to host the annual D.C. event but bowed out amid the uproar sparked by harsh Tweets he wrote about the ex-Alaska Governor.

So, is he sorry? Mmmnot so much.

"It's caused me some problems that I wrote s--t about her," C.K. admitted on the Today show Monday. "But I also... why not, man? I mean, what is she?"

"She's just a person. I don't think she's some sacred person."

"And, to me," he added of his Tweets, which were written drunk on a plane, "I was writing poems. It was like poetry to me, and I enjoyed writing them."

Poetry comprised of C-bombs, F-bombs and Sarah Palin jokes.

Asked if he would write the same things again, C.K. replied:

"Yeah, I probably would, I think so. It still makes me laugh a little bit, the stuff that I wrote, when I think about it ... I actually thought it was well-written."

Hey, might as well own it. The man does not mince words.

Kris Humphries was deposed by Kim Kardashian's legal team yesterday, as the divorce case between this former couple hopefully nears an end.

Under oath, the power forward reportedly swore that he never actually dated Myla Sinanaj, a NYC hotel employee who has suddenly become a key player because Kardashian believes Kris' relationship with her shoots down his case of supposed heartbreak.

TMZ insiders say Kris told lawyers that he and Myla were only friends and he never revealed anything specific about Kim to her.

Other sources contradict this claim, however, with one alleging that Humphries opened up to Sinanaj about Kanye West and his suspicions that the rapper was getting it on with Kardashian.

Humphries is basing his case for more money from Kim on the accusation that she defrauded him into marriage and never had any intention of making the union work. But he offered no evidence for this assertion during his deposition, witnesses tell TMZ.

Up next, or in the near future, Sinanaj will answer questions, while Reggie Bush may even be dragged into this ridiculous mess.

As you know, paramedics were called to Lindsay Lohan's hotel room in Marina del Rey, Calif., when the troubled actress was unresponsive earlier this month.

Fortunately, she was fine, just exhausted and dehydrated.

Just the same, a calm, collected 911 call made by "Ben," a nurse working on the production of her new film Liz & Dick, reveals the urgency at that moment:

Lindsay Lohan 911 Call

"It's a Code 3," he said, emergency terminology for "life-threat response."

Per privacy laws, specific details regarding Lindsay Lohan's physical condition have been edited out of the recording above, but the caller told the 911 dispatcher that he and the unconscious actress were in the hotel penthouse.

She was and is fine, although Lifetime is concerned about its investment.

The self-aware actress later joked on Twitter that when you're "up all night shooting, you might pass out from exhaustion & 7 paramedics MIGHT show up @ your door. Hopefully theyre cute. Otherwise it would be a real let down."

Just pray there's not a legit Code 3 in the near future for Linds.

Terrell Owens always had great hands on the football field.

Now the former NFL star is showcasing how he put them to good use off the gridiron in a series of graphic naked photos being shopped around ... if you know what we mean! We mean the pics show T.O. going to town on his Johnson.

Hopefully he gets a cut of the profits ... he's broke as a joke.

The woman shopping the Terrell Owens photos claims the two met on Twitter, and later moved on to Skype, where they engaged in cyber sex.

Yes, apparently people do this.

The women decided to take a few T.O. action shots for good measure, and why not, given the ease of the screen-grabbing function on MacBook.

A similar thing reportedly happened with the Tyson Beckford sex tape. Bottom line: Be careful out there, kids, before you whip it out on Skype.

America's Got Talent finally touched down in Las Vegas last night, with over 100 acts set to be whittled down to 48, group-by-group:

Judges Favorites, Standbys, Direct-to-NY, and Rejection.

According to editing, we only lost three acts to the instant eliminations: the uncle/son acrobats, one of the Luther Vandross’ and Ivy Rose. Why the latter? Who knows. On the other side William Close, the dog trainers and the human cannonball automatically made it through. Now, on to the recap...

Danger - All Wheel Sports feels like a better overall group for Vegas compared to American BMX. American BMX called it "a lot of filler," and in a wonderful twist of karma the one guy on his motor-scooter (not a BMX) wiped out.

The Drill team seemed too clean; the girl looked bored. The balancing act was cool, but I couldn't watch balancing for that long without falling. Ben Blaque showed a questionable rehearsal where his act missed because of "lighting issues." The act proceeded to do well, though a lot of the same. He ended with a successful backwards blindfolded sequence.

Just when I thought this season of The Real Housewives of New York City might end up being the new housewives versus the old, "Diss-Invite" turned that fear upside down.

It's actually become all of the housewives against Ramona. Who saw that coming? So let's break it all down in our THG +/- recap.

First off, what do you think of the new housewives? When the opening conversation between Aviva and Carole consisted of what they'd eaten for breakfast…Aviva ate a hard boiled egg and Carole a sugar cookie for those who missed that fascinating tidbit…I thought about going to bed early. Minus 12.

Are these women just that boring or do I need to get some more sleep?

When Ramona showed up with gifts I was surprised by Aviva's comments. I realized that Ramona's pimping her own skin care line but it was still nice of her to hand out presents. Minus 5 to Aviva for the sarcasm.

Ramona's searching for Heather haters but it didn't seem to be working. As both Ramona and Heather talk too much a talking intervention was proposed. Wait. Would we still have a show if they all shut up?

Six roses. Four dudes. Things are getting serious on The Bachelorette.

After the past two weeks saw villains Ryan Bowers and Kalon McMahon dispatched by Emily Maynard, were there any more fireworks in store this evening?

Who succeeded in wooing our beloved single mom from North Carolina, and who failed to make the final cut before next week's coveted hometown dates?

Follow this link for a rundown of The Bachelorette spoilers we know thus far, including the (alleged) final three. Then read on for THG's official +/- recap!

First, Prague is on my bucket list now. Beautiful city. Plus 4.

Our Southern Belle Emily Maynard walks the streets of Prague, sans daughter Ricki, musing about the hometown dates. Hostman Chris Harrison tells the guys this week is important because next week are hometown dates. Jef with one F tells us he's really hoping he gets a hometown date next week. We get it. Hometown dates are important. Minus 3.

Of the six guys, three of them will get a one-on-one date with Emily this week. The first date goes to Arie Luyendyk Jr., probably because Emily wants to kiss him (loudly) a few more times. His jacket has elbow patches. Minus 3.

Emily thinks it's shady that Arie hasn't told her about his relationship with Cassie the producer. His failure to disclose his past relationship with someone in Emily's inner circle is disloyal somehow to her.

Chris decides to set the record straight about the rumors regarding Arie and Cassie and introduces a segment of Cassie interviewing Emily about Arie.

Cassie says it's no big deal, it was a long time ago, blah blah blah. Emily says the fact that they dated is no big deal. It's the fact that nobody told her that they knew each other that's the problem.

Warning to men around the world: Kate Upton is back in a bathing suit. You might wanna stop operating all heavy machinery about now.

The ridiculously sexy 20-year old is featured in the July issue of Vogue Spain and while we may not understand the words that accompany the article, we can easily translate the meaning behind these photos: H-O-T.

The spread follows another set of her photos in GQ, which - in case you some forgot - came on the heels of the Kate Upton Cat Daddy video.

We'll stop talking now and let you click through the following pictures...

Forget The Hangover. Zach Galifianakis will be celebrating his very own real-life bachelor party in the near future.

Celebuzz confirms that the funny actor is now engaged to Quinn Lundberg and that the couple has even sent out invitations already for a August 11 wedding.

"The wedding invite is very Zach," a source tells the site. "While it has the formal and standard details of who, what, when, where - including Zach's full name, Zachary Knight Galifianakis, and his fiancee's, Mary Quinn Lundberg - it is also very funny.

"Zach included a drawing of himself and his bride-to-be" on the invite. He made sure he looked like a little troll, while Quinn is a stunning tall blonde princess."

Lundberg is the co-founder of the charity Growing Voices and we wish this couple a bright, long, healthy future together!
