No one is going to London anymore, but Dr. Conrad Murray says he's owed plenty just for coming to California.

A lawyer for the cardiologist, who was hired by Michael Jackson's camp to accompany the artist's entourage overseas for his 50-show concert engagement, told E! News that promoter AEG Live owes him $300,000 for the eight weeks of work he put in as Jackson's personal doc.

Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster are giving it another shot.

E! News can confirm that the Hollywood heavyweights, who last costarred in a movie together 15 years ago in Maverick, are set to join forces again for The Beaver.

Review in a Hurry: Supremely dorky high-school valedictorian Dennis (Paul Rust) decides to tell it like it is in his commencement address, trashing bullies by name and declaring his love for head cheerleader Beth Cooper (Hayden Panettiere).

The Bigger Picture: After a decade or so of death throes under the watch of generic cutie-pies like Amanda Bynes and Hilary Duff, the teen comedy makes a strong comeback in this adaptation by Larry Doyle of his own comedic novel.

Review in a Hurry: Sticking with the wildly successful Borat formula, Sacha Baron Cohen uses his guerilla tactics to "expose" the vanity and vacuity of Hollywood and the American South. His high-wire humor can be very funny, but here the groans often drown out the giggles.

The Bigger Picture: Cringe comedy, where laughs arise from provocation in hyper-real situations rather than contrived gags, is a risky hook for a feature-length film. But stunt-comedian Cohen pulled it off with Borat, springing uneasy (but hilarious) pranks on unknowing subjects, from U.S. congressmen to frat boys to upper-crusty Southerners.

Judgement day is coming for Edward Furlong's marriage.

The actor's wife of more than three years, actress Rachael Bella, has filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

Rumer Willis is going to be playing a lesbian next season on 90210, and guess who wants to be her lucky lady at West Beverly?

AnnaLynne McCord!

Kate Gosselin's marriage may be crumbling, but her star power seems to be on the rise.

She's been invited by Maria Shriver to attend the Annual Women's Conference.

UPDATE: A whopping 75 categories wasn't nearly enough. On July 8, 2009, Fox announced second wave of 13 more categories (see below), specifically aimed at summer movies and television. They've also jumped on the Twitter bandwagon, adding the Choice Twit section, for which E!'s own Kim Kardashian is a nominee.

A performance by the Black Eyed Peas was also promised in the announcement.
