Regis Philbin's Curtain Call Date Set


It’s that time of year again, and even celebrities like Dakota Fanning are gearing up to begin classes again.

The “I Am Sam” actress was spotted picking up some take-out food in New York City today (September 6) on her way to school.

Miss Fanning carried a snazzy umbrella and donned rain boots to deal with the nasty Manhattan weather.

In career news, Dakota has signed on to star in a new biopic called “Effie” about a young bride named Euphemia Gray who marries critic John Ruskin. But when Ruskin is unable to consummate the marriage after five years, Effie falls in love with a painter.

Having a blast on the holiday weekend, Lea Michele was spotted heading off to a friend’s house on Monday afternoon (September 5).

The 25-year-old babe shared her plans for the day via her official Twitter account, and it sounds like quite the agenda.

Lea tweeted, “Another sunny Sunday here in LA! Spending the morning over looking the city enjoying a delicious brunch!! …Spa day with @NayaRivera! Now dinner and getting ready for Real Housewives of New Jersey!”

Additionally, Lea and her musical cohorts will return with a brand new season of “Glee” later this month, and there’s a new sneak peek teaser to behold.

He’s no stranger to media attention, and Colin Farrell spices things up in the October 2011 issue of Esquire UK magazine.

The “Recruit” stud looks fabulous in the photo spread, and in his interview he opens up about his past of destructive behavior.

Colin confessed, "I was killing myself. My mum was waiting for a call to say I was dead. I'm a garden-variety drug addict. I'd take anything until it's all gone. So forget Hollywood, parties and fun and all that, at the end it was me on my own in a room with a kit of stuff every night. I also had more one-night stands in a week than there are nights in a week".

"I think I probably annoyed a lot of people because I was having so much fun. Because I didn't even work -- I mean, I did but I didn't. It happened when I wasn't looking. How did all this come about? It was so fast, whatever converged to carve my trajectory through this town, it was ridiculous."

Celebrities and temper tantrums go hand-in-hand, and the latest Tinseltown star to flip out is none other than Anthony Michael Hall.

The “Breakfast Club” actor allegedly caused such a commotion at his condo complex that the police had to be called to arrest him.

Hall is accused of tearing up plants in the entry way of his building, and disturbing the peace. A neighbor called the cops after Hall threatened to beat him up for checking on the ruckus.

Anthony also allegedly knocked on the neighbor’s door and demanded that he come out and fight him before the cops got there.

Offering up his thoughts on his highly-acclaimed forthcoming drama, George Clooney attended a Q&A session for "The Descendents" at the 38th Telluride Film Festival over the weekend (September 3).

The "Ides of March" actor's afternoon press stop followed the film's initial event showing, a special preview that was held during the day on Friday.

Looking to be the frontrunner for ample award nods down the line, George and the Alexander Payne directed project came out on top as the Colorado-based Labor Day festival came to a close.

During his stint at the event, Clooney was honored for his significant contributions to the world of cinema, as he received the silver medallion award alongside Pierre Etaix and Tilda Swinton.

Showing off their school spirit, sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner were seen cheering on their high school football team in Los Angeles, California on Saturday night (September 3).

Clad in cute little cheerleaders' outfits, the E! reality starlets joined alongside their fellow squad members as they worked to pump up the crowd with flawless routines and super-catchy chants.

Meanwhile, just as Kendall has finished up work on her special prom dress photo school for designer Sherri Hill, it's been announced that she will be hosting the Evening by Sherri Hill fashion show during New York Fashion week on September 14th.

During her duties, the 15-year-old aspiring model will be joined by her three sisters, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, as the event will be taped for inclusion on their E! reality series.

Continuing her comeback goodness, Demi Lovato sold out two concert dates- one in Los Angeles and one in New York City- in thirty minutes.

And now, the “Camp Rock” cutie has let on that she may be going out on tour again, her first outing since her emotional breakdown.

Demi told press, "It definitely is [a preview]. I wanted to say thank you to my fans. I wanted to show them how thankful I am for the support they gave me for 'Skyscraper.' At this point, 'Skyscraper' has done so well because of them, and I want to show them how thankful I am.”

"And hopefully when I perform the concerts, Unbroken will be coming out. I'll be really nervous to get back onstage for the first time since then, but I'll be really excited. It could be a tease for a bigger tour. I don't know.”

She’s never had a problem turning heads and Christina Milian's appearance at Sean "Diddy" Combs' Labor Day Weekend bash was no exception.

The “Ghost of Girlfriends Past” babe rocked a pair of heels matched with some short-shorts and a black and white, one-shoulder bikini top.

The holiday weekend soiree was held at the swanky Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on Saturday (September 4).

Ahead of the party, host with the most Diddy tweeted, “Got my lepord G string on. And I’m headed down the pool!!!!! Meet me there! See you soon ladies. Drinks on me!”

With the annual Venice Film Festival in full swing, the cast of “Contagion” hit the red carpet for their film's premiere at Palazzo de Cinema on Saturday night (September 3).

Joining in on the celebration were lovely actress Gwyneth Paltrow, as well as newly-bald actor Matt Damon (who was joined by wife Luciana Barroso), as well as fellow co-star Laurence Fishburne.

For the sci-fi thriller, Damon teamed back up with director Steven Soderbergh - who also directed him in the “Ocean's Eleven” movies starting back in 2001.

“Steven sent me the script with a note that said, ‘Read this and then go wash your hands,’” said Damon, with a laugh. “After seeing this movie in a theater filled with strangers, I’m sure that thought will definitely cross peoples’ minds.”

As for "Contagion," the picture - which hits theaters on September 9th - also stars Jude Law and Kate Winslet while being an "action-thriller centered on the threat posed by a deadly disease and an international team of doctors contracted by the CDC to deal with the outbreak."

Ringing in another year in his rollercoaster life, Charlie Sheen made his way to Buca di Beppo Italian restaurant in Encino, CA for a 46th birthday dinner on Saturday night (September 3).

The former "Two and a Half Men" star was alongside his ex-wife Brooke Mueller, as well as their twin boys Bob and Max, to celebrate his special day with friends and loved ones.

Following the evening meal, a smiling Sheen exited the eatery with son Bob in his arms - with his little one proudly holding a big red balloon with 'Happy Birthday' written on it.

Sounding as if fellow ex Denise Richards was also on-hand, Sheen tweeted after the birthday dinner, "Love you and the girls..!!! Thanks for a great birthday dinner!! Great night! xo c"

The message was in response to an earlier tweet by Miss Richards, as she wrote, "Happy Birthday @charliesheen !!!!!!!!!!!"

Teaming up for a sexy new ad campaign, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian used their good looks in hopes of selling a little more product.

The E! reality sisters tossed on a little lingerie as they posed for world-renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz for a Kardashian Kollection Sears promotional effort

The photoshoot took place back in May, with Kim writing about the experience on her blog by telling, "What an amazing day! We shot with the living legend herself, Annie Leibovitz! I swear this was such an eye opening day. She shot our Kardashian Kollection for Sears ad campaign!"

The newlywed brunette beauty added, "I can’t give away any details, but we have never been shot like this before and it was soooo fun shooting with Kourtney and Khloe… Mason even made a cameo!"

Meanwhile, Miss Leibovitz was seemingly so taken by the Kardashian sisters that she's hosting a party for the ladies at her New York City studio next week.

She's arguably the biggest pop star on the planet, and Britney Spears was nabbed as the cover girl of the October 2011 issue of Glamour UK.

The "Hold It Against Me" singer posed for a playful spread for the magazine while giving a rare interview in which she talks about her London tour and turning 30-years-old in December.

Set to hit newsstands on Thursday (September 8), highlights from Britney's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Glamour UK!

On the possibility of Prince William and Kate Middleton attending one of her concerts at O2 arena in London:

"That would be amazing. That would be really crazy and cool. I think they’re a beautiful couple. Unfortunately I didn’t get to watch the wedding but I heard it was beautiful."

On hoping to get more intelligent as time progresses:

"I think the older you get, the wiser you get. I can’t wait. I’m really excited and definitely gonna celebrate and do something spectacular. I’m gonna be in South America so I’ll have to do something pretty fun. A carnival of Britney?’"

As the saying goes - she got it from her momma! Doing some bonding in their bikinis, Audrina Patridge and her mother Lynn were spotted at a Malibu, California beach on Wednesday (August 31).

Enjoying the sunny west coast locale, the pair sported matching teeny teal two pieces as they took to their midweek stroll along the shore with Audrina also tossing on a hot pink swimsuit during the morning romp.

Looking to have recovered from a nasty bee sting on her left foot incurred during a barefoot walk the day before, the fabulously fit mom and daughter duo were all smiles for the impending shutterbugs.

As for what is next on Audrina's agenda? She's heading to Sin City, as she revealed via Twitter, writing, Whose going to Vegas this weekend??!!!.... If so stop by vanity at the hard rock September 3rd!! Xo."

Who thought this day would ever come?! Regis Philbin will be hosting his last episode of “Live! With Regis and Kelly” on November 18.

At the beginning of the year, the 80-year-old TV personality announced his decision to retire from the morning show, but a date was not known until now.

Philbin has been hosting the daily show since 1988 when he and Kathie Lee Gifford helmed the program at the time it became nationally syndicated.

No word yet on who will replace Regis to co-host with current partner, Kelly Ripa.
