Jennifer Aniston, Anne Hathaway, And Liv Tyler Are Possible Credit Card Fraud Victims

A Beverly Hills salon owner is being accused of ripping off several high profile celebrities by making unauthorized charges to their credit cards. Maria Gabriella Perez, owner of Chez Gabriella Salon, has allegedly racked up $280,000 in charges on her clients' credit cards over the course of a year.
"fraudulently [charging] approximately $280,000 worth of charges in a one year period."
Among the celeb clients mentioned in the affidavit: Jennifer Aniston, Anne Hathaway, Liv Tyler, and Melanie Griffith. Liv is reportedly the one who got hit the hardest with over $214,000 charged to her account!They're probably an easy target for fraud because they most likely don't handle their own bills and why would an accountant question it, right? Hopefully it all gets straightened out quickly.Photos by WENN Continue reading

'You got the story wrong...Lil Wayne punched me in my arm cause he saw a VW beetle pass by,' MC jokes on Twitter.

After Lil Wayne and Drake's reunion on Saturday following Weezy's release, reports have cropped up suggesting there's drama within the Young Money camp. However, on Friday (November 12), Drizzy shot down Web rumors that he got into an altercation with Wayne after the final stop of the Light Dreams and Nightmares Tour in Las Vegas.

"You got the story wrong...Lil Wayne punched me in my arm cause he saw a VW beetle pass by," Drake tweeted, joking about the boredom-fighting road-trip game Punch Buggy and referencing Internet stories that Weezy socked his protégé in the face because he felt the Canadian MC abandoned him while he was serving his eight-month prison bid. "Haaa...YM Forever," Drake wrote, shrugging off the controversy.

Drake's rep also denied that any punches were thrown, onstage or off.

"There were no disruptions," his rep said in a statement to MTV News. "The concert and afterparty went off without a hitch."

MTV News also spoke to Drake directly after the Vegas show, following Wayne's surprise cameo during their Thank Me Later collabo, "Miss Me." The MC described his elation at seeing Weezy publicly for the first time since his release days earlier and revealed that he wasn't expecting a friendly onstage bum-rush from the newly freed spitter.

"I talked to him on the phone, and he was like, 'I'll see you in Miami. I got my party. I hope you make it.' So I hit [Cortez Bryant], who manages me and Wayne, and I said, 'You're not coming to the last show?' And he was like, 'No, man, can't make it.' That's how I hit the stage: 'I got no surprises for these people. They all think Wayne is coming and he's not coming.'

"After the hook of 'Miss Me,' " Drake said, "I heard ... Wayne's verse. I didn't quite know what was going on. I looked back, and there's the man. I jumped higher than I've ever jumped in my entire life."

All seems to be going well in Young Money land after Wayne's first weekend back home, as the superstar MC was snapped alongside Drake, Mack Maine, Birdman, Bow Wow and Chris Brown at a Miami Heat game Thursday night.

What do you think about rumors of drama in the Young Money camp? Let us know in the comments.

'Unstoppable': The Reviews Are In!

Denzel Washington and director Tony Scott's latest collaboration gets critical kudos.
By Eric Ditzian

Together Denzel Washington and director Tony Scott can reliably be expected to deliver hyperkinetic action sequences and box-office openings in the low $20 million range. Except for the $18 million "Crimson Tide" debuted to in 1995, this pair's flicks haven't plunged beneath the $20 million mark, nor have they floated past $24 million.

"Unstoppable," the duo's fifth collaboration, is likely to open within that familiar range, though its stellar reviews might lift the action flick's opening. Here's what critics are saying:

The Story

"Cinematic narrative doesn't get any simpler than that, and Scott wisely keeps the premise pure, ratcheting up the tension and raising the emotional stakes without cluttering up the story's sleek lines. A young, inexperienced railroad conductor named Will (Chris Pine) is on his first shift with veteran train operator Frank (Denzel Washington) on the same day that a train carrying tons of hazardous materials has been sent hurtling down its tracks without a conductor or functioning brakes. With the help of a coolheaded train executive named Connie (Rosario Dawson), who keeps in near constant contact with the men, Will and Frank narrowly escape colliding with what she calls 'a missile the size of the Chrysler Building.' Out of harm's way, their next priority is to chase the errant locomotive down and stop it before it hits a dangerous S-curve and crashes in the middle of a busy Pennsylvania city." — Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post

The Performances

"Mr. Washington has never been more likable, or convincingly heroic. Sometimes he's simultaneously intense and self-effacing, proof of his own expertise in the tricky profession of being a star. 'Unstoppable' will be a turning point in Mr. Pine's career; he gives a star performance that is notable for its subtlety, simplicity and unforced strength. Thanks to the bond between them, the movie more than gets away with conversational interludes in which Will and Frank discuss life and love." — Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal

The Look

"Mr. Scott is partial to blunt, rapid cuts; whipping pans; and saturated colors. He likes twirling the camera around characters, like a sugared-up tot running 360s on a playground, a hyperactive visual style that can turn the screen into a blur of pulsating color. Here, working with the cinematographer Ben Seresin and some ace sound technicians, he creates an unexpectedly rich world of chugging, rushing trains slicing across equally beautiful industrial and natural landscapes. There is something mesmerizing about these trains and the men who run them, something nostalgic too, because they seem like history machines, summoning up a past lived and also imagined, as in, for starters, 'The Great Train Robbery' (1903), 'North by Northwest' (1959) and 'Speed' (1994)." — Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

The Dissenters

"An action thriller seriously devoid of action or thrills, the curiously sluggish 'Unstoppable' is the slowest, talkiest movie you'll ever see about a runaway freight train loaded with toxic chemicals. The actors get a lot more to do in the admittedly brisk second half of 'Unstoppable,' but the filmmakers come up with a surprisingly small number of cliffhanger scenarios involving the speeding locomotive: 1985's 'Runaway Train,' although a dramatically different picture, did infinitely more exciting things with its premise. 'Unstoppable' picks up some speed as it hurtles toward its predictable conclusion, but the acceleration comes too late. No matter how many times Scott has his cameras circle his actors to lend the film a sense of barreling motion, you rarely feel as if this train has even left the station." — Rene Rodriguez, The Miami Herald

The Final Word

"Director Tony Scott may have missed his mark by a bit on his last cinematic train ride with 'The Taking of Pelham One Two Three,' but he hits his target dead-on in 'Unstoppable.' The best blue collar action movie in who knows how long, this tense, narrowly focused thriller about a runaway freight train has a lean and pure simplicity to it that is satisfying in and of itself. But in its incidental portrait of discontented and discounted working stiffs who live marginal lives on society's sidings and are angry to varying degrees, the film carries an unexpected weight and could connect with Middle American audiences in a big way." — Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter

I think Kerry is saying, "Go see this movie!"

Christina Aguilera And Cher Go 'Toe-To-Toe' In 'Burlesque'

'I really believe that she's got definite chops,' Cher tells MTV News of Xtina.

Cher is about to school Christina Aguilera in the art of being a superstar in their splashy new musical "Burlesque." In fact, starring alongside Cher has taught Aguilera to amp up her dancing game. And Cher said her character ends up owing a lot to Aguilera's in the flick, out later this month.

"I own this club, and we're not doing well even though it's a fabulous place because of the economy, and Christina comes out of nowhere," Cher told MTV News on Monday night at the Glamour Women of the Year event. "[She's] this little girl that just bothers me. All she does is keep and needling me, needling me, and then I make a decision to kind of step aside and make her into this star."

The Oscar-winning actress also wants everyone to know that, although Aguilera is new to the world of acting, she really can dish it out with the best of them. "The scenes that she and I had together, I really enjoyed, and I really believe that she's got definite chops," she said. "We worked well together. I enjoyed all of it, and she was toe-to-toe with me the whole time. But everybody's good. Stanley Tucci's in it and Peter Gallagher and Kristen Bell and Julianne Hough, and so everyone's really good in it."

Someone who is also singing Aguilera's praises is Robin Antin, Pussycat Dolls mastermind and sister of the film's director, Steven Antin. "She's doing really well," Robin said. "She's very talented, and it's great when you have a director like my brother, Steve. ... He truly is one of the best directors. That's what a good director is: It's to get your actress, whether they've had experience or not, to be great.

"It's a great opportunity for her, and she's really talented, obviously," she continued. "She came and was a guest in the Pussycat Dolls, and that's how that really happened; that's how my brother met Christina. ... I think the movie's going to be very cool."

Michael Jackson's Mother To Tell All On 'Oprah'

Oprah Winfrey is closing out her long-running talk show's final season with a bang. So far, Winfrey has scored hard-to-get interviews with the likes of "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, featured a much sought-after reunion of the cast of "The Sound of Music" and on November 8 will dedicate a full hour to a Jackson family tell-all special.

According to The Associated Press, Winfrey recently visited the Jackson family home in Encino, California, for an extensive sit-down with matriarch Katherine Jackson. A rep for Harpo Productions confirmed the air date for next Monday with MTV News. Jackson's father, Joe, as well as his three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket, will also appear during a "backyard visit" taped for the episode. Katherine will reportedly discuss the day her son died and reflect on his life as a child star.

Gossip website X17 Online reported that it is still unclear how many other members of the family will be featured, but that several relatives, including Randy Jackson, were not informed about the interviews so as to avoid any possible confrontations.

The site also reported that the show's producers are still trying to secure an interview with the mother of two of Jackson's children, Debbie Rowe. Other topics that may be addressed during the one-hour special include Katherine's wrongful death civil lawsuit against promoter AEG and the family's legal woes with Michael's estate.

The rep for Harpo did not comment on attempts to secure an interview with Rowe, but said there were no plans to extend the one-hour episode into two shows.

Britney Spears' 'Me Against The Music': 'Glee' Vs. The Original

Watch Brittany and Santana's version side-by-side with Britney and Madonna's.

Heather Morris, who plays hilariously ditzy cheerleader Brittany on "Glee," got to channel her sort-of namesake on Tuesday night's "Britney/Brittany" episode. And the professional-dancer-turned-actress didn't disappoint as she re-enacted Spears' videos for "Toxic," "Slave 4 U" and "Me Against the Music." She tackled all of them with her spectacular dance skills and a pretty killer singing voice.

The anesthesia-induced dream sequences followed one of Brittany's stellar reveals: "My name is also Britney Spears. Brittany S. Pierce. I've lived my entire life in Britney Spears' shadow." Well, on Tuesday night she stepped out of her shadow.

Of all the video reinterpretations in the episode, the Madonna/Britney team-up, which saw Santana playing Madge and Brittany playing you guessed it, paid homage to the original 2003 video, directed by Paul Hunter. Aside from a few artistic tweaks in the "Glee" version's choreography, Morris and company do the original justice.

"The 'Me Against the Music' montage, it's literally copied exactly from the video, the shots and looks, but the choreography is made so much more for a dancer — none of it is from the video," Morris told New York magazine about the "Glee" version. "You just have to wait to see it. It's insane."

Hunter spoke to MTV News last year about his original concept for Britney's "Music" video. "I try to play opposites, when you have Britney in dark and Madonna in white," he said. "And then we see them kind of dance around the bed .. and you think they're gonna get on top of each other and do something crazy."
