Billy Ray Reacts to Miley Cyrus Bong Hit
Like the rest of the world, Billy Ray Cyrus found out today about his daughter's use of a bong during her 18th birthday party.
Taking his thoughts to Twitter - because all fathers should be concerned about their public reputations over any sense of privacy or decorum - Billy Ray seemed to lay some of the blame at the feet of his ex-wife.
He and Tish are going through divorce proceedings right now, which Billy Ray clearly references in his response to Miley's actions:

Angelina Jolie Says She'd Reunite With Johnny Depp In Tim Burton's 'Family'
'Tourist' actress in talks for Burton's 'Sleeping Beauty' adaptation 'Maleficent.'

"I would love to," she said of possibly starring in the animated film "Maleficent." "It's all new and being discussed, but I loved her when I was a little girl. She was my favorite. Tim Burton, the chance to work with him would be extraordinary."
By that summer, she'd already wrapped production on "The Tourist" alongside Johnny Depp, who has collaborated with Burton on seven films and is gearing up for work on an eighth, "Dark Shadows."
So, would Jolie want to work with Depp again in a Burton film?
"Oh, of course," Jolie told MTV News in Paris while promoting "The Tourist." "I think every actor would be open to that. They are such a special team, and so you'd feel like you'd be entering a family that is such a wonderful, existing family."
For now, Burton is plowing ahead with preproduction on "Dark Shadows," an adaptation of the '60s-era supernatural soap opera, and is eyeing a spring 2011 start date. But as he told us recently, he's continuing to develop "Maleficent" and hopes Jolie will take part.
"I'd love to work with her," the director said last month. "We're working on a script for that. It's hard to know when that script will be ready. But I'm a huge fan. I'd love to work with her. That would be a good one."

Should Paparazzi Have the Right to Photograph Angelina's Kids?
If you're one of the lucky few to hit the celebrity jackpot, you also become a public figure -- meaning that strangers have the legal right to follow you around and take your picture. But should the same rules apply to your children? That's an issue that celebrity moms grapple with every day, as they frantically try to keep their kids away from the paparazzi's flashbulbs. Now a few famous mamas are taking action against the photographers who make money off their children. Will their efforts succeed?
Nicole Richie made the first move this fall, making good on her threat to file restraining orders against paparazzi who were staking out her daughter Harlow's preschool. Then in a Wednesday night appearance on Larry King Live, mother of six Angelina Jolie expressed her wish that "there will at some point be laws about how close (photographers) can get to children with cameras." The next day, Radar Online posted a photo of Julia Roberts having a face-to-face confrontation with a photographer who took pictures of her three children. (Roberts has a history of confronting paparazzi, especially when kids are involved.)
While celebs have always taken pains to shield their kids from the spotlight, it's become much more challenging in recent years. Our national obsession with famous babies -- what Suri is wearing, what Shiloh and Zahara bought on vacation -- means that candid photos of stars' kids are in high demand. And that leads to some seriously unsavory situations, like paparazzi waiting in the bushes outside children's schools. Technically, there's no law against this, since the kids are Hollywood royalty. The problem is that the kids, unlike their spotlight-seeking parents, never asked to be in this situation.
And don't think for a minute that famous children are unaffected by the media storm. Kids are remarkably resilient, but they can also be extremely sensitive to the way grown-ups act around them. Remember when Maddox Jolie-Pitt started kindergarten in New York City? Reportedly, his teacher asked the students to bring in pictures of their families -- and Maddox started crying, because he was so traumatized about having his picture taken. In November, it was reported that one of the six-year-old Gosselin children, Collin, refused to have a school picture taken "because he's tired of being on camera." We don't really know what effect this kind of 24-7 paparazzi scrutiny has on children, since this is the first generation that's dealing with the digital age. But stories like these make us wonder if these kids will grow up permanently traumatized.
So why can't photographers just lay off famous children? The answer is simple: everybody loves looking at pictures of celebrities hanging out with their children, which means the photos are worth big bucks, which means that paparazzi will go to great lengths to get the shots. The photographers are just giving us what we want, which is a candid look into the private lives of celebrity families. And who can turn away from pictures of the adorable Jolie-Pitt clan eating gelato in Italy? In this day and age, we've grown to expect constant access to our favorite celebrities' lives. But maybe we need to change our expectations, in the hopes of giving these extra-ordinary kids a chance at a semi-normal childhood.
Do you think there should be laws about whether the paparazzi can take photos of kids? Chime in below!Source: http://www.ivillage.com/should-paparazzi-have-right-photograph-angelinas-kids/1-a-305361

No hay más Led Zeppelin
A pesar de lo dicho ayer, Peter Mensch, manager del guitarrista Jimmy Page, se retractó totalmente en eso que la banda buscaría un reemplazo al ultragenial Robert Plant para seguir rockeando y toureándola por el mundo tras su show de 2007 en el O2 Arena de Londres por el poder de la música más sexual de la historia. No habrá más Led Zeppelin, no hay planes de que lo haya.
Mensch comentó: "Led Zeppelin se acabó. Si no los vieron en el 2007, se los perdieron. Probaron reemplazantes a Robert Plant, pero nada funcionó. Se acabó. No hay planes para continuar. Francamente, ojalá todos dejaran de hablar al respecto."
Los fans no están nada contentos, especialmente los británicos, considerando los precios delirantes de las entradas del show reunión.
¿Y a ti? ¿Qué te parece todo esto?
