Russell Brand's MTV Bedtime for Jonas Brothers

You may not automatically know who Russell Brand is when you hear his name, but that's probably going to change on Sept. 7.
The British bad-boy comedian, who played rehabbed rocker Aldous Snow in the recent Judd Apatow-produced hit Forgetting Sarah Marshall, was named today as host of MTV's Video Music Awards.
Scarlett, Heidi and Hayden Have Albums—Here's Why

Why are so many celebutantes/reality stars recording albums? Who the heck is telling them that's a good idea?
—Penny, Denver
Now, now. I hear the manatees living off the coast of Florida cannot get enough of Scarlett Johansson's album. They line up along Cape Canaveral and thump their stumpy flippers and take turns mooing just like ScarJo does on "Fannin Street."
If you need to blame someone for this recent spate of craptastic singer-actress albums, blame the cheap-ass music industry. More on exactly how cheap-assness has resulted in a Hayden Panettiere album after the jump.
Fake Brothers Will 'n' John Talk Comedy, Pain

Burning Q's: A Smile-Free Brit & Anne's Pasty Secret

How do celebs like Anne Hathaway or Marcia Cross stay so pale? I'd swear that they were vampires had I not seen pics of them frolicking in the sunshine.
—Jenny
Look more closely next time you spot Marcia Cross cavorting on the beach. You sure you don't see a few puffs of smoke, with maybe some accompanying sizzling noises?
And according to skin doctors to the stars, someone like her or Hathaway may have a certain skin type that simply hates the sun. "They just cannot tan," explains Beverly Hills dermatologist-to-the-stars Susan Evans. "They burn, but they don't tan."
They also use supergrade sun block—not necessarily expensive—that contains titanium or zinc.
Now, let's knock down some more of your Burning Q's!
Beverly Hills Chihuahua Viral Ads Take a Dark Turn
No matter how badly we want Disney to push up the release date of Beverly Hills Chihuahua, the amazing singing Aztec canines still won’t be hitting theatres for another couple of months. But that hasn’t stopped them from spreading their propaganda, which, we have to admit, has totally snared us.
But has this toy-size Drew Barrymore romp taken a truly dark turn? Check the video above where Papi (George Lopez) lists the grievances he has with humanity in front of a frighteningly large congregation of Chihuahuas. Wait—this movie just went from cute animated dogs to serious animal rights issues.
So what could these spolied brats really have to complain about? Well, maybe this...
Best Babies in Hollywood: Your Complete List!
Ramey, INFdaily.com
All babies are special and cute and made of rainbows, but as you know, we could only pick 9 for our Best Babies in Hollywood list. Why? Because that's the top 9 rule.
We let you choose the last baby to make the list an even 10, and there were a few babies you felt pretty strongly about. Tanya said Britney's little Jayden James "is so cute you just want to pick him up and kiss all over him." Some of the more succinct Christina Aguilera fans out there, like XtinaFan, wrote, "Max owns," and chuck agreed, "Max is the HEAT." Both are equally valid points.
But there was one baby missing from our list that most of you agreed was a glaring error...
Scrubs Finds a Friend

Courteney Cox is scrubbing the taste of Dirt out of her mouth.
The former Friends star has signed on for a three-episode guest spot on the upcoming eighth season of Scrubs, E! News confirmed Wednesday.
Now that Dr. Kelso's retirement has kicked into gear, Cox has been brought onboard to "ruffle feathers" as Sacred Heart teaching hospital's new chief of medicine, an insider told EW.com, which first reported the casting coup.
Surely that involves butting heads with the other Cox of the walk, the one played by John C. McGinley, and somehow emasculating J.D., right?

Dunder Mifflin Plans a Playdate in Scranton
Mitchell Haaseth/NBC
People of Scranton, make room for beets. The Office is coming to town.
Pressman Toy and NBC Universal will be hosting a day of Office-themed festivities in the real-life version of the Pennsylvania burg where the Dunder Mifflinites push paper for a living to mark the release of a DVD board game and a trivia game revolving around the hit NBC sitcom, which is shot in Los Angeles but has become an important vein of tourism in Scranton.
Writer and executive producer Mindy Kaling, who also plays reliably obnoxious customer-service rep Kelly Kapoor, will preside over The Office Games July 19 (a Saturday, so people won't have to call in sick to their actual offices) at the Mall at Steamtown.
Green Hornet Scoop: Seth Rogen vs. Bruce Lee!

He's already the unlikeliest leading man in Hollywood, but are you ready for Seth Rogen: Action Hero? He is, kinda, as he preps for his tights-wearing close-up in The Green Hornet, set for summer 2010. But do his Knocked Up fans even know the old comics or '60s TV series?
"When you say The Green Hornet to people, the first thing anyone says is, 'Hey, Bruce Lee played [the sidekick] Kato on that show,'" Rogen told us recently, while out promoting The Pineapple Express.
Everybody knows the sidekick, see, but not the hero.
To introduce the world to Kato's second fiddle, Rogen wrote the script with his Superbad and Pineapple partner Evan Goldberg. Here's what they cooked up...
Tropic Thunder Pours Out the Booty Sweat
Merie Weismiller Wallac/Dreamworks
Paramount Pictures is hoping Booty Sweat leaves a good taste in America's mouth. (We know, it felt disgusting just writing that.)
The studio has announced plans to market a real version of the aforenamed energy drink that can be spied periodically throughout the upcoming Ben Stiller-directed comedy Tropic Thunder, starring Stiller, Robert Downey Jr. and Jack Black as actors who get left behind in an actual war zone after ticking off the director of the war film they're supposed to be acting in.
While product tie-ins and increasingly viral marketing campaigns are nothing new—what would McDonald's and Burger King do without Disney, hobbits and superheroes?—Paramount believes that by actually creating a usable product to promote an upcoming film, not to mention one that will compete against Rockstar and Red Bull, they've broken the mold.
