Just Jared - Daily Updates

The Hills star Audrina Patridge and Glee hunk Mark Salling were spotted spending a significant amount of time with each other at the GQ “Men Of The Year” party held at Chateau Marmont on Wednesday (November 18) in Hollywood.

“They seemed quite friendly with each other,” a spywitness told JustJared.com.

Audrina, 24, and Mark, 27, left the party together and later arrived to the Samsung party, where Katy Perry performed.

New couple or just friends? Either way, nice catch, Audrina!

Alex Pettyfer ponders a few thoughts as he sits on the toilet in this shoot for In Their Youth, a book of 200 portraits by celeb photographer Greg Gorman.

In Their Youth is comprised of photos of famous actors shot when they were unknowns in their teens and early twenties - Jared Leto has three pages dedicated to him, while Leonardo DiCaprio is the subject of the first seven photos.

The end of the book features seven photos of Alex.

In the introduction, Greg said, “More recently, I’ve been photographing a young actor named Alex Pettyfer. We have a photographic relationship that’s spontaneous and connected, in which we provoke, push and disturb each other into creating strong images.

“We play off each other in a symbiotic relationship that allows great work to develop. And that’s why I call Alex a muse of mine, and why I wanted to close the book on those pictures, which showcase some of my most recent work.”

Megan Fox and her longtime boyfriend Brian Austin Green shop at the Sherman Oaks mall with his son Kassius, 7, in Los Angeles on Wednesday (November 18).

DO YOU THINK Anne Hathaway would make a good Black Cat? If not, who do you think would be better?

Glee starlet Jenna Ushkowitz recently sat down for an exclusive interview with JustJared.com. Here’s what the 23-year-old Long Island native had to share…

JJ: How did you get into showbiz? Was it that Jell-O commercial?

JU: (laughs) That was one of them. I did three Jell-O commercials with Bill Cosby. I was kind of one of those kids who would go up to people in restaurants and say hi to all the tables - that kind of thing. So it kind of rooted from that and they were, like, why don’t you get her into modeling? She’s a cute little Asian girl! So they put me in and we found a manager on Long Island. The first job that I booked was Fisher-Price for the Dress Me Up Ernie doll and the second one was a Toys ‘R’ Us commercial with Geoffrey the giraffe.

JJ: You have your minor in musical theater - did you play any instruments in college or do you play any now?

JU: No. I learned for Spring Awakening how to play the piano but only a little bit. I can only play you two songs from Spring Awakening! [laughs] I can play “Touch Me” and I can play “The Mirror-Blue Night.”

JJ: What’s your favorite prop from the set of Glee?

JU: Okay, well, there’s this weiner dog statue and Matt Morrison’s music teacher kept it in his classroom when he was younger.

It’s in the choir room right now. He actually took it from his music teacher’s classroom and put it onto the Glee set. There’s a story back there, that’s why I like it. Or Artie’s wheelchair - either one!

(Click inside to continue reading JustJared.com’s interview with Jenna Ushkowitz…)

JJ: Do your song suggestions ever make it to scripts?

JU: No! [laughs] We’ve learned how to hum or sing around the writers and around Ryan and make it their idea. Manipulate it so they think it was their idea - that they came up with it - then it’ll totally make it in but if you request it, it probably never will be.

“Bust Ya Windows” actually was Amber’s favorite song and she had all of us listening to it. And then when we came back from the pilot, Ryan was, like, “guess what we’re doing?” So she actually did get that.

JJ: Do you have any funny memories on set that you had between scenes?

JU: Amber decided to leave one of our guest stars a note that said “I can’t wait for our scene!” with big lip marks, “Love, Lea Michele” and so he went up to Lea and was, like, “I’m very excited for our scene together, thank you for your note” and she was, like, “What? What note?” and me and Amber are in the makeup chair shaking and convulsing.

JJ: I saw there’s an episode called “Ballads” in the future - do you know any songs that are coming out of that episode?

JU: “Endless Love” and “Don’t Stand So Close”/”Young Girl” mashup by Matt - Mr. Schuester.

JJ:Have you had any funny fan encounters?

JU: We had somebody ask us to sign their forehead. That’s not safe! And with permanent marker? No way. And then we also had somebody ask us to sign their baby. We only signed the dress of the baby - we did not sign the baby. That wouldn’t be safe either.

JJ: Do you have any Thanksgiving plans? Who does the cooking? Where do you go?

JU: To eat! In New York. A lot. I don’t know - I usually watch the parade, but I don’t know if I should boycott it this year!

Usually we go to Disney World every year - we’re not going this year because I’ve done enough traveling and my family has been gracious enough to say, “let’s cook dinner at home.”

We make homemade stuffing - my mom is making Tofurky because I am a vegetarian and we just eat a lot! That’s pretty much it. But usually we have a timeshare so we go to Disney and eat at the Grand Floridian.

JJ: How long have you been a vegetarian? Why did you decide to make the switch?

JU: Probably a year now…and it’s more acceptable in L.A., actually, so kind of when I moved, I’d always wanted to do it. I am trying to have a smaller carbon footprint.

JJ: For a greener world.

JU: Yes, a greener world! Thank you!

As for whether or not they’ll move in together, Carrie said no! “Call me old fashioned,” she laughed, “he’s there. I’m here. We’re both doing our thing and it’s good.”

“The next guy I move in with will be my hubby, whoever that is. I’m not saying it’s going to be him.”

Gerard Butler playfully imitates the famous Michael Jackson moment — the singer dangling his newborn son Blanket — at a London hotel on Wednesday (November 18).

MJ, who later called the incident a “terrible mistake,” dangled his baby outside his cbalcony for fans wanting to see his new baby. This time, Gerry simply wrapped a potted plant with a towel and dangled it outside his window.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

Her fantasy body pick: “If I could choose and ideal body, I'd take Gisele Bundchen's. I challenge anyone to say she wouldn't want Giselle's body, deep down. Actually, I'd take a number of people's bodies. I'd take Jennifer Aniston's too. I want boobs, a gentle six-pack and a perky butt."

On her secret crush: "I'm obsessed with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. If she knew how much she was in my household late at night or in the wee hours of the morning, she might be disturbed! [My screenwriter husband David Benioff] a and I both have a crush on her."

On parenting her two year-old daughter Frankie: "You have to put your oxygen mask before you put on others'. It's a good metaphor for parenting, but it's really hard to do sometimes. A lot of women feel that if they're exerting energy in different areas of their life or are really passionate about other things, it's automatically detrimental to the child."
