PAMELA ANDERSON WILL HAVE SEX WITH A LUCKY FAN!
Pamela Anderson is set to make one lucky fan's dreams come true - she's offering to film a bedroom scene with a complete stranger for a new contest.
The former "Baywatch" beauty, who hit the headlines in the 1990s after filming a sex tape with her then-husband Tommy Lee, has agreed to be filmed frolicking in bed with the winner of phone firm Nokia's latest competition.
The short movie, called "The Commuter," is to be shot in high definition on the company's N8 mobile handset and premiered in London next month.
Another cameo role opposite "Gossip Girl" actor Ed Westwick, to be shot in an elevator, is up for grabs in the contest.

DREAM COME TRUE! KATY PERRY 2ND ALBUM "TEENAGE DREAM" NO. 1 IN FIRST WEEK SALES!
Katy Perry has cemented her status as a best-selling pop superstar with her second studio album ""Teenage Dream,"" which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart, scanning 192,222 units in its first week of release. Katy is now one of the top 10 artists with the best-selling debuts of the year and one of only two pop artists to appear on this list. "Teenage Dream" is the two-time Grammy Award nominee's highest album chart bow yet. Katy's debut album, One of the Boys, scanned 46,767 units in its first week.
Katy has now achieved the highest pre-album street date track sales of all time, with 4.4 million digital tracks sold prior to the album's release - setting a Nielsen Soundscan-era record. 445,746 total tracks were sold during "Teenage Dream's" first week of release. In addition, with the Top 5 chart positions of the album's first two singles, the six-week No. 1 "California Gurls" and ""Teenage Dream,"" Katy has become one of only ten female artists in history to have two songs in the Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. Currently Katy has 12 songs charting on the Soundscan Current Digital Tracks chart simultaneously including Teenage Dream album tracks "Firework", "Peacock" and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)".
Katy is a pioneer in the new world order of pop superstardom, where success is measured not just by album sales, but also by sales of digital singles, ringtones, and music videos (clips for both "Teenage Dream" and "California Gurls" have remained in the iTunes Top 10 Music Videos chart for weeks). Measured in "TEA"'s (industry parlance for "track equivalent albums," in which the sale of 10 digital singles is counted as the sale of one album), "Teenage Dream," plus individual tracks sold, totals the equivalent of nearly 720,000 albums sold by the end of Katy's first week. This follows on the heels of "One of the Boys," which has sold five million copies worldwide.
"Teenage Dream" has easily averted the sophomore slump, with MTV.com opining that it is "the best second effort in pop music history." USA Today raves that "the ambitious brunette serves up percolating confections laced with saucy humor and disarming earnestness," while Rolling Stone has called "Teenage Dream" a "pool-party pop gem." The New York Post declares "Teenage Dream" "a total success" that "may have the juice to topple Michael Jackson's "Bad" as the U.S. record holder for most singles released from one album."
Katy co-wrote each of "Teenage Dream's" 12 songs, collaborating with a red-hot production team that includes Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Tricky Stewart, Benny Blanco, Greg Wells, and
The Santa Barbara, CA-born Katy performed on The Late Show With David Letterman and The Today Show's Summer Concert Series during "Teenage Dream's" release week and recently co-hosted the 2010 Teen Choice Awards with the male cast of Glee. She has appeared on the covers of dozens of publications, including recent issues of Rolling Stone, Seventeen, Q, Billboard, the New York Times' Arts & Leisure section, and USAToday's Life section. Katy has been nominated for two 2010 MTV Video Music Awards for "California Gurls" ("Best Female Video" and "Best Pop Video") and became a portrait subject for renowned contemporary artist Will Cotton, whose confectionary landscape painting of her graces the cover of "Teenage Dream."

JAMIE FOXX'S NEW SKETCH COMEDY SHOW PICKED UP BY FOX NETWORK
Fox announced today that it ordered the Jamie Fox Project, a half-hour sketch comedy series from Executive Producer Jamie Foxx that’ll debut in prime time sometime during the 2010-11 season. Affion Crockett (The Boondocks) will star in and also serve as a producer in the comedy, which the network says will offer a “fresh take on pop culture, including spoofs of movie trailers, commercials, TV shows, and music videos.” The yet-to-be-named cast will include up-and-coming comedians.
Fox also promises that some of the “biggest names in Hollywood” will stop by and participate in the show.
“Jamie’s Foxx’s brilliance first shined on Fox, so it’s fantastic to welcome him back to the network,” said Kevin Reilly, Fox’s entertainment president, in a statement. “Jamie is an undeniable comedy powerhouse both as a performer and a producer, and teamed with the outrageous next-generation comedy of Affion Crockett, we look forward to the next wave of sketch comedy on Fox.”

MANNY PACQUIAO FEELS THAT FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. NEEDS HIM
Manny Pacquiao and his trainer Freddie Roach wanted the exact same thing that boxing fans everywhere wanted: Floyd Mayweather Jr.
They got Antonio Margarito instead. Pacquiao and Roach said Wednesday that they agreed to every demand put forward by Mayweather for what could have been the richest fight in boxing history. But the former pound-for-pound king chose not to accept the fight, leaving Pacquiao to look elsewhere for a fall opponent. He'll face Margarito, the former welterweight champ, on Nov. 13 at Cowboys Stadium. "I don't need him, he needs me," Pacquiao said of Mayweather, during a stop Wednesday in New York to promote his upcoming fight. "Compare my achievements in boxing to his achievements." They've both achieved plenty, which is why fans have been clamoring for the high-profile matchup for the better part of two years -- and why so many are upset it hasn't happened. The fight was nearly made in January, then fell apart when Pacquiao refused Olympic-style drug testing in the weeks leading up to the fight. But the newly minted congressman from the Philippines said he's even agreed to the strict blood testing in an effort to make the fight, but he hasn't heard from Mayweather's side why an agreement couldn't be reached. "We agree with, you know, his demands," Pacquiao said, referring specifically to the blood testing. "I wanted to know if that's his real reason [for not fighting]." The entire negotiation process came to resemble an unsavory soap opera, with HBO Sports boss Ross Greenburg publicly stating that he had worked tirelessly as an intermediary between the two sides. Pacquiao's promoter Top Rank has a poor relationship with Mayweather, who rose to become a world champion under its banner, so it's not unreasonable to assume there was an intermediary. Shortly after a deadline imposed by Top Rank for Mayweather to accept the fight had passed, his adviser Leonard Ellerbe issued a bizarre statement in which he said no negotiations ever took place -- contradicting Greenburg and the folks at Top Rank. Roach said that Top Rank had been calling him for advice on what gloves to wear, what ring size to use, what weight to fight at -- standard details during a negotiation process. "When people are calling me and asking me, 'Is this OK? Is this OK? Is this OK?' There's something going on," Roach said. "I know there must have been negotiations going on. "Whatever he wanted to do, we were accepting it. Whatever he wanted. Manny said, 'I want to fight. I'll agree to anything.' I thought the fight was a shoo-in." Roach was recently in Ukraine to watch one of his other fighters, Vyacheslav Senchenko, retain a welterweight title. But all he heard from fans were questions about Pacquiao-Mayweather -- not about Senchenko, and certainly not about Margarito.

POP SINGER JUSTIN BIEBER EYEING THE LEAD IN THE "GREASE" REMAKE!
Justin Bieber dreams of becoming the next John Travolta - he's eyeing the lead role in a remake of hit movie musical Grease.
The teenage pop singer is set to make his film debut next year in his own 3D movie memoir, which will document his stellar rise to fame. And Bieber is already considering his next big screen project - he wants to star as Danny Zuko in a new version of 1978's Grease.
He tells The Sun, "It would be a lot of fun. It's been talked about a lot over the years but it would be awesome to play Danny."
The Baby hit-maker has also picked out his fantasy co-stars, admitting he would love to act oppositeMiley Cyrus as Zuko's love interest Sandy Olsson - and even has roles for Susan Boyle and British singerCheryl Cole.
He adds, "If I had to pick my perfect Sandy I would go for Miley Cyrus without hesitation. She can sing,dance and act. I would really want some great people to star in it. Wouldn't Susan Boyle make an amazing Principal McGee? We'd just need to write it into the script that she broke into song. I am obsessed with Susan Boyle. When I look at her original (Britain's Got Talent) audition it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
