Katherine Heigl won't address rumors that her days on Grey's Anatomy are done, but she does admit that family is her top priority now.
"I took those 3 months off and I realized how very, very important my family is to me and I want to be more available to them," the 31-year-old star told People Thursday at the ongoing ShoWest convention in Las Vegas, where she was on hand to accept an award for Female Star of the Year.
Heigl took a break from the hit ABC series after she and husband Josh Kelley adopted their daughter, Naleigh, in September.
"I think I'm just gonna try and keep it a little more mellow," she said of her future plans, "and be a little bit more of a mom, since that's a big part of my life now."
Heigl suffered a wardrobe malfunction during her acceptance speech when one of the straps on her red dress broke and nearly exposed her breast. Thankfully, the night's emcee, Billy Bush, quickly came to the rescue by holding the strap in place while she completed her speech.
"Oh my," Bush later posted on his Twitter page. "Hosting showest awards in LV. Heigl comes up to get award, dress strap breaks...I hold her top on while she accepts!"
Talk about a bad romance. Lady Gaga is being sued for $30 million by her ex-boyfriend and former producer, Rob Fusari, who claims he was pushed away when the pop star struck it rich, according to the New York Daily News.
"It's an age-old story in the music business," his attorney, Robert Meloni, told the paper. "You become famous and you turn on the person who discovered you."
Fusari is seeking a 20 percent cut from Gaga's two companies, Team Love Child and Mermaid Music, claimed they previously entered into a contract together in 2006, the year they first met. He contends that he transformed Stefani Germanotta into "Lady Gaga" and radically changed her rock riffs into dance beats, ultimately leading to her commercial success. They were introduced in March 2006 by a singer who knew Fusari was looking for a female rocker with "garage band chops."
"Fusari was expecting someone a little more grunge-rocker than the young Italian girl 'guidette' that arrived at his doorstep and was worried that he had made a mistake," the suit reads. "Fusari then asked her to play one of her songs on the studio piano and within seconds realized that Germanotta had star potential."
Prior to their introduction, the music man had enjoyed success on such songs as Will Smith's "Wild Wild West" and Destiny Child's "Bootylicious." He argues that he co-wrote several songs on Lady Gaga's debut album The Fame, including the hit "Paparazzi."
The pair's relationship later turned romantic, but Fusari contends that Gaga was a scorned woman when he ended their romance in January 2007.
"All business is personal," the suit says. "When those personal relationships evolve into romantic entanglements, any corresponding business relationship usually follows the same trajectory so that when one crashes they all burn. This is what happened here."
A pair of Hollywood actresses helped save a life Friday.
Demi Moore and Nia Vardalos were involved in a series of Twitter posts that led authorities to a young Florida man who threatened suicide on Twitter.
The Seminole County Sheriff's Office told the Associated Press that they received two calls from the West Coast reporting the suicide threat. Authorities responded to the young man's home and transported him to an undisclosed hospital. He was not physically injured, they said.
Moore responded after the man threatened to hang himself in a town north of Orlando.
"R U rlly asking 4 help?" she tweeted.
Vardalos, best known for her role in the hit film My Big Fat Greek Wedding, also saw the man's threat and called a suicide hotline.
"Just spoke to FL police again, they're with [him] now. He is ok, it's not a hoax. Thank u all for sending love," she posted on her Twitter page Friday. "I called suicide line, connected to FL police, I gave his name+city. They went to home, helped him."
Moore, who along with her husband Ashton Kutcher is one of the micro-blogging site's most popular members, also expressed her thanks.
"Thank you twitterverse for your help supporting someone in pain last night," she tweeted.
Nicole Richie says you can forget about all the rumors surrounding the designer she plans to wear on her wedding day.
It didn't take long for speculation to begin about Richie's wedding dress after she and her longtime beau, rocker Joel Madden, announced their engagement back in February. Some have even speculated that she would walk down the aisle in the same Monique Lhuillier gown worn by Molly Malaney on The Bachelor wedding, but the former Simple Life star insists she's totally clueless about her options.
"I have not decided on a dress," the mother-of-two tells InStyle.com. "I haven't even thought about it!"
With the recent launch of her Winter Kate clothing line and a new shoe collection for House of Harlow, the fashionista can be forgiven for not having the time to settle on her wedding attire.
Richie and Madden, who began dating in December 2006, are expected to tie the knot this summer.
Having been together since Sex and the City first debuted on HBO in 1998, one might think the hit franchise's cast would be growing tired of each other. But that was far from the case when Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall gathered to shoot their upcoming movie sequel.
"We've never laughed harder or talked more or spent more time together," the 44-year-old Parker told People Thursday at the ongoing ShoWest convention in Las Vegas.
One of the biggest laughs during filming came when the stars hopped aboard some camels.
"The camels were beautifully trained," explained Parker, who shared a seat with Cattrall. "Cynthia and Kristin were on one camel and they had the most grumpy, ornery camel. Ours was so sweet, but then out of nowhere our camel would sit. You have to understand, it's not like a bike and the bike fell over. It's a camel, and the camel would just sit. And when they sit, it's a little like an earthquake. We laughed so hard."
"That was the most exotic, beautiful thing we did," added Nixon.
With anticipation building for the sequel, Parker said she's optimistic all the laughs were put to good use.
"We hope we made a movie that lives up to expectations," she said.

Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star as Joan Jett and Cherie Currie in The Runaways, the music-fueled, coming of age story of the groundbreaking, all girl 1970s rock band.
Los Angeles 1975, Joan Jett (Stewart) and Cherie Currie (Fanning), two teenage valley girls with punk in their blood, meet and become the heart and soul of the seminal all girl band, The Runaways. Floria Sigismondi brings The Runaways to the big screen in this story of a group of extraordinary young women as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary band that paved the way for future generations of girl musicians. Under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (MICHAEL SHANNON), the group evolves into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself—and so do its two leads: Joan is the band’s pure rock’ n’ roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten.
