Alexa Vega has officially moved on from Spy Kids to a game of I Spy... Cleavage!

Indeed, the former child star - who recently split from her husband of two years - has posted the following photo on Twitter, giving movie fans a glimpse at her upcoming character from Robert Rodriguez's Machete Kills.

Go ahead and ogle while we hurry up and see if tickets are on sale yet...

Vega split from Sean Covel in March, but she already has her next man lined up, Tweeting yesterday:

Dammit!!! I'm crushing on Christian Grey!

Does this mean the 23-year old is angling for the role of Anastasia Steele? If so, she's making quite the statement in this picture. Your move, Emma Watson...

Mariah Carey is on board as one of the new American Idol judges. For a cool $18 million per year.

And just days after this announcement was made official, Fox came out with the first promotional picture of its new panelist. She doesn't exactly look thrilled to have the gig, does she?

Still, no one can debate Carey's credentials. She has sold over 200 million records worldwide and is responsible for more number-one singes than any solo artist in history.

The questions now surrounding Season 12, which executives hope will be a major bounce back from a grossly disappointing Season 11 in the ratings game:

• Will Randy Jackson return?
• Will Brad Paisley join Mariah as a judge?
• Will a non-white male who does not play the guitar actually win/

grandma's here! #thankyougod.

So Paris Jackson Tweeted this morning, expressing gratitude that Katherine Jackson returned home after 10 days apart from the three children for whom she had been serving as legal guardian.

But the scandal surrounding this 82-year old, her extended disappearance and the alleged plot surrounding her children trying to change Michael Jackson's will is far from over.

Prince Jackson actually got involved in the saga today, posting a text message from July 23 on Twitter today that reads: "This is enough so I am texting you for the simple fact that WE DEMAND TO SPEAK TO MY GRANDMA NOW!!!"

The creepy response appears to be from Janet Jackson and it says: "Don't let them pls."

Prince goes on to bash the relatives that supposedly took Katherine from her California home - led by uncle Randy Jackson - and writes:

"Although I am happy my grandma was returned, after speaking with her I realized how misguided and how badly she was lied to. I’m really angry and hurt. For this whole time, they denied us contact to our grandmother. If you continue with your lies I will continue with the truth.”

Katherine Jackson spoke out last night for the first time and claimed she just needed a brief vacation. But her state in the interview and the fact that she never made contact with Prince, Paris and Blanket raise many questions over just what the heck has been going on.

Conclude Prince, the oldest of MJ's three kids: "As long as I can remember my dad had repeatedly warned me of certain people and their ways."

Somewhat lost amidst the shock and sadness of Kristen Stewart cheating on Robert Pattinson is the other side of this dishonest coin:

Rupert Sanders, with whom Stewart made out on at least one occasion, is a married man with two children.

And in an ironic bit of timing, his wife - 33-year old model Liberty Ross - opened up to YOU Magazine just two weeks ago about her marriage to the director. It's not excuse whatsoever, but there clearly have been problems at home.

"I romanticized domesticity for a while, and loved having a shopping list of groceries stuck to the fridge for the first time," Ross told the publication. "But moving here and starting a life all over again was a lot harder than I had anticipated. I just didn’t think it would be as isolating and daunting as it turned out to be."

With Sanders off filming Snow White and the Huntsman, Ross admits she got very lonely.

"I would never say out loud that I am raising my children alone, but a lot of the time it has felt like that."

Ross also lamented how she went from working in the modeling industry with stalwarts such as Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano… to "living on an isolated hilltop with my husband gone most of the time." However, she ended the interview on a positive note:

"That's why everything feels so amazing now. We rode through the really hard times and we stuck it out."

Yeah. About that...

Sanders issued his own apology yesterday after news of his dalliance with Stewart broke. He said:

"My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together."

Liam Hemsworth is set to marry Miley Cyrus. And maybe even have the singer's baby.

What, exactly has drawn the Australian actor to this young mega star?

"She’s extremely happy and has a sense of humor about life," Hemsworth tells InStyle. "Happy, positive, fun - those qualities are good in anyone."

A few days after making their engagement known, following a beautiful proposal on The Bachelorette finale Monday night, Emily Maynard and Jef Holm are defying the critics.

They are still together and appear as content as ever, with Holm saying he plans to soon move to North Carolina to be closer to Maynard and her daughter Ricki.

Now, Emily has blogged on People about her "amazing" fiance and how lucky she is to have found him.

"Getting to share our love story with you all this season and reliving the proposal yesterday reminds me of how blessed I am to have found my best friend and partner in crime, Jef Holm," Maynard writes. "I've always believed in great love and hoped I'd find it one day. However, I had no idea a love like this even existed!"

If Nicki Minaj does become an American Idol judge, producers can now rest assured that she'll handle any surprises during a live show.

The singer proved as much on stage in Miami this week, as a fan rushed up to Minaj during a concert and attempted to give her a hug. But the artist remained calm, security swooped in and put a SERIOUS beatdown on the idiot and the show went on.

Nicki Minaj Concert Goer: Tackled!

"Florida u were amazing tonight!!!! Thank u soooo much for the love!!!!! Mmmuuuuaaahhhh!!!!!" Nicki Tweeted after the show.

Earlier this year, Demi Lovato took cover after a similar incident in Paraguay.

There's never a good time to engage in an affair, but Kristen Stewart's romantic interlude with Rupert Sanders has really come at an unfortunate time for the actress.

She'll soon embark on a promotional tour for Breaking Dawn Part 2; boyfriend Robert Pattinson recently gave an interview in which he wondered why people cheat; and Jimmy Kimmel Live just ran a segment in which famous people read mean Tweets directed at them by the general public.

And, yes, Stewart is among those featured.

It's hilarious stuff all around - we especially enjoy the selected message shared by Katy Perry - but we somehow doubt Stewart would agree to do it again. Fan reaction to the star these days likely isn't anything to laugh at... 

Stars Read Mean Tweets

With Bristol Palin under fire for the recent word choice of son Tripp on the latest episode of her Lifetime reality show, Fox News contributor Sarah Palin has come to her daughter's defense.

"Haters are going to hate," Palin told Salon at an NBC cocktail party on Tuesday, adding of Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp: “I think it’s clever, it’s absolutely real and I’m proud of the girls.”

Despite the presence of cameras, her increased level of fame and the six-figure salary Bristol is banking from the series, Sarah Palin insists the program does not encourage young women to give birth.

"Her show today I think is very positive, it’s very realistic in terms of showing what single motherhood really is,” Palin said. “It’s not like the Teen Mom  — partyin’, woo-hoo! – fun, glamorizing single motherhood."'

We know we say this often, but: WHAT THE HECK IS SARAH PALIN TALKING ABOUT?

Has she ever seen Teen Mom? Debate all you want over whether these girls should be covering magazines and thrust into the spotlight, but that show on its own features nothing but crying children and ugly arguments with boyfriends/parents.

It also depicts teenagers who are struggling to hold jobs and attend classes while trying to raise children... without a stable, ultra wealthy family offering support.

Palin once said she is knowledgeable about foreign affairs because she can see Russia from Alaska. But this may be her most ridiculous statement yet.

She just turned 43 years old, but Jennifer Lopez shows no signs of slowing down.

The singer and now former American Idol judge is touring all summer long with Enrique Iglesias and she's also dancing it up like only she can in her latest music video. This one is set to the track "Goin In."

It features Flo Rida, and also many lights and splashes of color inside a club, all while J. Lo shows off her ridiculously toned body and impressive set of moves. Impressive stuff all around. Watch now:
