TV network ABC wants to revive the show and are looking modern-day judges to give the coveted 4-star ratings. They’ve approached former American Idol judge Paula Abdul to potentially join the show, but she reportedly demanded a hefty paycheck so no deal was made.

Paula Abdul: Nope, I’m not exactly going to go with this show. I really like your dress, though.

While we wait for ABC to cast talent show judges, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and see some of today’s top performers who started off as big dreamers at Star Search.

Before he was a boy band hottie, Justin Timberlake was a cowboy wannabe on Star Search.

Britney Spears appeared in a 1991 episode of Star Search.

At 8, Christina Aguilera was already hitting the high notes.

Who do you think should judge Star Search?

Hellcats stars Aly Michalka as Marti, a college student who joins the campus’ competitive cheerleading team (the Hellcats) after losing her scholarship. Tisdale plays Sierra, the Hellcat’s captain and Marti’s roommate.

Ashley excitedly announced this new project on her website. She also mentioned that she’s been meeting with Blonde Girl Productions to create reality TV shows—“none of which I’m in, just producing,” she was quick to add.

“I leave for Vancouver soon to shoot Hellcats but will always update you on my Twitter page,” Ashley wrote. “Thanks for all the support. I couldn’t do what I love to do without you guys.”

When he’s done drinking blood and sweeping women off their feet, British actor Robert Pattinson wants to go back to his musical roots.

Go back? Yes, before all the Hollywood craziness kicked in, the 23-year-old was actually into music. He sings, and plays the guitar and piano.

“I want to do [an album] at the end of the year,” he said. “All my friends are recording albums and I’m very annoyed about it. I don’t know how people can act and also sing. I’ll find some time to do it.”

Die-hard Twilight fans will point out that Robert co-wrote and sang “Never Think” for the original Twilight soundtrack in 2008.

Can he carry a tune? Yes, actually! His surprisingly soulful voice has elements of John Mayer and old-school country in it. It’s too bad you can’t really understand the lyrics to his songs. The hottie tends to eat his words.

Do you think his career as a musician will pick up?

During the closing minutes of AC Milan’s 1-0 win over Chievo Verona on Sunday, David Beckham tore his Achilles tendon while he was on the field. In tears, he hopped over to the sideline for medical attention.

“The doctor said the tendon’s a little bit torn but we don’t know if it’s completely broken or just partially,” specialist surgeon Dr. Sakari Orava said. “Very much depends on how much has been torn and exactly where… It will have a big impact on the final result and when the person is ready to train hard.”

On Monday morning, he caught a plane to Finland for surgery. And yes, he will miss the World Cup. Double ouch!

The latest collaboration from Madonna and Dolce & Gabbana is MDG, a collection of sunglasses designed by Madonna herself.

The ads were shot by photographer Steven Klein and will run in Vogue until February 2011. Check out some stills below:

By the looks of it, the sunglasses don’t really stand out from the usual trends. There’s only so much you can do with eyewear. You’re pretty much purchasing it for the label and boasting rights. “I’m wearing Madonna’s sunglasses!”

Back to Madge. The 51-year-old sure is busy with her fashion collaborations. She and her daughter Lourdes have recently signed a deal with Iconix Brand Group Inc. to create a fashion line for teens aptly called “Material Girl.”

Would you rock Madonna stunners?

If you missed it, watch it here to see why it left viewers in stitches:

The producers received so much good feedback that they re-aired it last weekend. The “most handsome” man, Jimmy Kimmel himself revealed the bloopers of the shoot.

So… who’s your favorite handsome? I raise my right hand for Josh Hartnett. (insert giggly girly squeal here)

2. It is the first Shrek movie that’s available in 3D.

3. In the story, ogre-turned-family-man Shrek is duped by Rumpelstiltskin into a deal that lands him in a distorted version of Far Far Away kingdom. Shrek tries to save his friends and reclaim the love of his wife, Fiona.

4. This is the fourth and final installment of the successful Dreamworks Animation film series.

5. It features new voices such as actress Megan Fox as The Princess in the Tower, animator Walt Dohrn as Rumpelstiltskin, comedienne Kathy Griffin as Taran, and actress Kristen Schaal as Alice.

Check out the trailer below:

Do you think this will top the other three Shrek movies?

He plays a 1,000-year-old vampire on True Blood, so it’s nice to see 33-year-old Alexander Skarsgård looking less pasty than usual. The 6’4” Swedish hottie is on the cover of LA Times Magazine’s March issue, and he looks even more dashing than his onscreen character Eric.

Photographed by Chat Pitman and styled by Jessica de Ruiter, Alexander’s GQ-ish fashion shoot is all about suits, sleek hair, and guyliner. Don’t worry; it’s subtle and not the Adam Lambert kind.

In his interview with Leslie Gornstein, Alexander talks about working on projects simultaneously in the US and Sweden, being born with the acting bug, and of course, vampires.

“What makes vampires a platform for good drama is they’re also lethal,” he said about his True Blood character. “Eric is an animal. He’s on that edge where you don’t know if he will turn and kill you in a second.”

The humble actor also revealed what makes him different from other celebrities hounded down by paparazzi. “I’m not a ‘Hollywood’ actor. I am a social guy, but I’m not one of those actors who will show up to a shoot with 15 agents and managers and publicists. An entourage like that just makes me uncomfortable.”

She tried staying incognito as she had lunch with her mom Nancy last week at Figaro in Los Feliz. I wonder if she was hiding her newly colored locks under that fedora.

On Monday, the brunette went out and about in LA with her mom and sister. Oh, check out her hot suede boots, too!

She topped my list as one of Hollywood’s best blonde bombshells, but she looks hot as a brunette, too! What do you think of Katherine’s darker locks?

Ever since Conan O’Brien started his own Twitter account, the world of tweeting has never been the same. Conan has gained almost 600,000 followers since he started on February 24. And he didn’t even have to over-tweet his life’s daily routines.

His deliciously sarcastic humor and unpredictable tweets feed Coco fans as they wait for the comedian’s next TV project. He’s tweeted only about a dozen posts, and yet his followers are hanging on to every word.

His latest antic is this:

“I’ve decided to follow someone at random. She likes peanut butter and gummy dinosaurs. Sarah Killen, your life is about to change.”

True enough, Sarah Killen’s life has changed. She’s drummed up a lot of attention, being the first and only person that Conan “follows.” The 19-year-old now has over 18,000 followers and a wider network of connections.

She’s getting married on September and a lot of Conan’s “friends” are covering the expenses.

Coco, you can follow me anytime!
