There’s another reason to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, besides the fact that it stars Brad Pitt, is directed by David Fincher and looks awesome. Drumroll please...Shiloh makes a little cameo! Brad refuses to call it that, though.

At last night's New Orleans premiere of the film, he explained to E! News that Shi is only in one scene because the real actor baby was crying too much and they needed a baby who could behave. Shiloh obliged and showed that actor baby what's up.

However, Shiloh better not be hoping to go all Jaden Smith, because papa Pitt sternly plans to tell his kids, "[You can pursue acting only] after you’re 18, you can do whatever you want to do.”

If we're not going to be seeing any Jolie-Pitts at the cineplex for another decade, at least we still have Suri Cruise. We have a hunch she'll be making her big-screen debut soon enough...

As if fighting pancreatic cancer weren't enough of a battle, Patrick Swayze is now fighting tabloid reports of his supposedly grim-and-worsening condition.

The actor, who confirmed back in March that he was undergoing treatment for the aggressive disease, has lashed out at claims that he is near his deathbed or otherwise preparing to say goodbye to friends and family, allegations recently propagated by the National Enquirer.

The truth, according to the 56-year-old actor, is quite the opposite.

"The only thorn in my side…tabloids have been consistently reporting lies and false information about me and those close to me," he told People. "And latest, they're reporting that I'm on my last legs and saying goodbye to my tearful family!"

Too bad the fake George W. Bush can't pardon himself...

W. commander in chief Josh Brolin, costar Jeffrey Wright and five other crew members from the Oliver Stone biopic managed to avoid their day in court today amid word that they are seeking to work out some kind of deal for a July bar brawl.

Brolin, Wright and pals were supposed to be arraigned today in Shreveport, La. But, according to the Shreveport Times, Shreveport City Judge David Rabb decided to delay the hearing until January to give prosecutors and Ron Miciotto, the attorney representing the W. gang, more time to hash out "a possible resolution" to the highly publicized case.

National Britney Spears Comeback Day is finally here, and we have a 27th birthday, an album release, actual tour dates and two Good Morning America performances to commemorate this very special event.

Brit-Brit put on her best non-Madonna ringleader costume and performed her new single “Circus” as well as “Womanizer” (after the jump, but it’s no different than her three European performances this weekend—same walking around and a dude getting beat up). All this fun took place under a giant circusy tent complete with jugglers, clowns and the Spears fam, including Mama Lynne, Papa Jamie and her boys Sean Preston and Jayden James.

After Brit finished up with "Womanizer," Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts wished the pop princess a happy birthday—as did Hugh Jackman, Reese Witherspoon and Taylor Swift via videotaped messages. Britney seemed just as confused by this part of the show as we were.

Check out her performances and then let us know how you plan to celebrate National Britney Comeback Day.
