It looks like Justin Bieber gave a childhood friend quite the Christmas gift over the weekend.

The 17-year-old teen star may have given his buddy, Ryan Butler, a Mustang convertible while he's home in Canada for the holidays. Butler tweeted a photo of the 'stang with the message "Justin got me a present. #swag!!!"

So far it is only being assumed that his very famous friend is the Justin that gave him the pricey ride. So far Bieber's kept quiet about the gift on his Twitter page, but hasn't been shy about showing off his adorable siblings.

He tweeted a photo with little brother Jaxon and younger sister Jazmyn -- who recently made quite a few fans herself, after she joined him on stage in Toronto -- writing, "Merry christmas from the family :)."

Looking at Bieber's track record, he rented out the Staples Center in Los Angeles for girlfriend Selena Gomez this fall, it's likely this "swag" gift could have his finger prints all over it.

Do you love the trailer for "The Hobbit" so much that you just can't stand the thought of leaving Middle Earth? Good news: Peter Jackson has prepared an entire tour of the place as a special Christmas treat.

The Oscar-winning director has released a fifth production video journal detailing the making of his epic "Lord of the Rings" prologue, with this one providing an especially exciting adventure into the world of filmmaking. After getting interior and CGI studio shots, Jackson and crew begin their ascent onto the wilds of New Zealand.

The film uses every climate point of the country's varied landscape, from snowy peaks to dusty deserts, and the video provides a nice look at the massive behind-the-scenes effort that goes into making the film so gorgeous and seamless. But even more impressive than the transportation of props, people, animals and craft services is the entrance into Hobbiton.

The gorgeous little shire, with homes made of real brick and wood built into hills and tracks treaded by barefoot actors, is introduced here, with emotional commentary by Frodo himself, Elijah Wood. It's actually Wood's first visit to Hobbiton after three "Lord of the Rings" films, and thanks to some creative scripting, he'll be able to appear in this film, too.

Also of note is Second Unit Director Andy Serkis, who you know best as Gollum. The motion capture star, who featured this year in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Tintin," is returning as the deranged ring-greedy creature in "The Hobbit," and is also taking on production duties as he works to become a star director in his own right.

It was a star-studded event at the Staples Center on Sunday.

Celebrities stepped out in droves to support the Los Angeles Lakers during their Christmas Day game against the Chicago Bulls.

Adam Levine and girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna were spotted in the crowd enjoying themselves and after the game Lil Wayne and Kanye West stopped to take a photo together on the court.

There were a few celebrity Laker fans missing from the crowd. Khloe Kardashian and her crew have moved on to hubby, Lamar Odom's, new team the Dallas Mavericks. After he was traded earlier this month, Kardashian has been spotted showing her support down in Dallas.

Take a peek at the photos of stars in the crowd of the Christmas Day game below.

Celebrities! They're... not just like us.

As we bid 2011 adieu and welcome 2012 with open arms, we recall the biggest "WTF" moments of 2011 that made our jaws simply drop -- from Jim Carrey's confessional love letter to Emma Stone to Chris Brown's "Good Morning America" thrashing, Stephanie Seymour's bonding with son Peter Brandt and Lindsay Lohan's plainly rotting teeth.

SLIDESHOW: 2011's Biggest WTF Moments

Like a brilliant high school geek looking toward the future, the third major comic book film coming out next summer continues to quietly reveal gorgeous footage and story lines. Call it the Peter Parker marketing strategy. "The Amazing Spider-Man" is on its way.

The reboot of the webslinger franchise, directed by Marc Webb and starring Andrew Garfield as Parker and Emma Stone as his first love Gwen Stacy, has released a new batch of photos via its Facebook page. The photos give a good feeling for the sort of kid Garfield's Parker is -- and the one he's becoming -- and shine a kind light on Stone's Gwen Stacy, Martin Sheen's Uncle Ben and Sally Field's Aunt May.

Earlier this month, the film launched a new site that included this bit of plot/texture:

"Like most teenagers his age, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. In his journey to put the pieces of his past together he uncovers a secret that his father held...a secret that will ultimately shape his destiny as Spider-Man. This is the first in a series of movies that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story. On July 3rd, 2012, the untold story begins."

Ever since "Monday Night Football" ousted Hank Williams Jr. from the show's opening segment following some inappropriate comments, producers have crafted unique introductions to each game. Previous intros included a heartfelt montage featuring Barry Sanders when MNF returned to Detroit for the first time in a long time. For the last Monday night game of the season, we were treated to a special holiday intro to the Saints-Falcons game featuring Betty White.

In what was titled "A White Christmas," the 89-year-old appeared in the opening segment and discussed how attractive the quarterbacks in the NFL are and explained what happened when she tried Tebowing.

"[Matt] Ryan's nickname is 'Matty Ice' because he's so cool," she said. "But I prefer 'Matty Steam' because he's so hot."

At the end of the intro, she just couldn't control her excitement, jumped out of her chair and screamed, "You can't stop the pain train! Woohoo!"

You voted and the biggest celebrity story of 2011 is ... the enigma that is Courtney Stodden. Yes, it's true. From Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher's split and Amy Winehouse's death to Lindsay Lohan's legal drama and Charlie Sheen's meltdown, our readers decided which headline of the year had them talking the most and Stodden took the cake.

Not far behind the "teen bride" was Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' fairytale wedding and 72-day-later divorce. And whether she likes it or not, Scarlett Johansson takes third place with her leaked nude photo scandal. It certainly hasn't been a boring year in the world of entertainment -- unraveled marriages, sticky fingers and paternity suits have left us thanking our lucky stars that we don't count ourselves among Hollywood's elite.

Do your fellow readers have it right? Weigh in below!

Check out all of the biggest moments below:

Camila Alves is engaged to marry Matthew McConaughey, it was announced this weekend. But as women around the world curse her name for stealing the oft-shirtless "Lincoln Lawyer" star, they might also be asking who, exactly, is Camila Alves?

A 27-year old Brazilian, Alves is model, actress and TV host. Fans of Bravo TV know Alves as the host of season three of Shear Genius, the hair styling reality show, while habitual viewers of QVC know her from her hawking of her handbag line. However, do not confuse her with the Brazilian Camila Alves who can be found in the 2010 "The Confidant" and this year's MMA film "Choke."

As for her life with McConaughey, she is the mother of his two children, Levi, 3 and Vida, nearly 2. They've dated for the past four years.

Alves has made plenty of late night appearances, as well. Check out some of her most prominent appearances below. Oh, and check out what she'll be enjoying til death do they part.

For a reality star, Kim Kardashian seems to have a precarious handle on real life. Or, just a tendency to tweet after a night of egg nog consumption. Either way, she took her tendency to talk to her "dolls" to a whole new level on Christmas night.

Kardashian sent out a series of tweets on Sunday evening, including two messages to the official Twitter account of Barbie. "Merry Christmas Barbs @BarbieStyle! Long time no see! What did Ken get you for Christmas? Miss you doll!" she wrote to the social media account of a fictitious plastic toy.

When the toy became sentient and responded, Kardashian added, "I'm sure we will be seeing lots of each other!Shopping soon!Xo RT @BarbieStyle: Happy Doll-idays to you too @KimKardashian! See you in 2012?"

So, what does this mean? One, it's the continuation of a trend that Kardashian began in 2009, when she played Barbie on the cover of Australia's Kurv Magazine. Perhaps it's hard to blame Kardashian for her confusion of real life and "reality." After all, every weekend she's forced to live tweet an episode of a TV show ("Kourtney and Kim Take New York") that depicts her in a seemingly fraudulent marriage that for the most part no longer exists.

Another theory: on Twitter, real and fictional people intermingle on such a regular basis that, so long as one has an avatar, it doesn't matter whether the words come from a human personality or an abstract entity or property being personified by a marketer. Kardashian sells her clothing and personal appearances on Twitter in the same way she shares her "thoughts," and she's even said that she is her own brand, her own product. In that case, perhaps her communicating with another brand and product isn't all that unnatural.

From Neil Patrick Harris to the men behind "Community's" biggest bromance, TV stars were quick to share their Christmas memories with their Twitter followers this weekend.

Though most were on a break from the set, your favorite small screen stars got behind the camera to capture their Christmas trees, dinner tables, and of course, some ugly holiday sweaters, for your Twitter viewing pleasure.

See how their holidays compared!

While the rest of us will be joining the gym, tossing out our egg nog and kicking ourselves for eating our weight in pie, many celebrities will be resorting to dumb weight-loss secrets after the new year.

How do you think some of those A-list ladies lose three dress sizes two weeks after giving birth? It's certainly not by spending hours on the treadmill. It's by resorting to dumb diet tips like eating only raw foods or stinky soup or baby food and vodka.

Try to wrap your head around this: A movie is being made about the story of a fake movie studio producing a fake movie with a fake crew, all concocted to spring US diplomats out of imprisonment from a hostile government. If it sounds a bit confusing, that's the point; this is real CIA business we're talking about here.

The first photo of Ben Affleck in his next directorial feature, "Argo," has been released by Warner Bros., the actual studio putting out this actual feature. The film features the story of the unusual CIA plot to free hostages taken by the Iranian government in 1979: spymaster Tony Mendez created the fake "Studio Six," with Hollywood offices and employees and the works, in order to pitch to the Iranians that the diplomats they had taken hostage were actually just Canadian film workers out on location.

The plan, Mendez wrote in his 2000 memoir, "The Master of Disguise," worked in part out of offices that had just been vacated by Michael Douglas's film "China Syndrome," which, incidentally, is a thriller about a coverup (Jack Lemon & Jane Fonda would receive a Oscar nominations for the film).

Mendez explains in his book that he and his colleague on the mission, Hollywood makeup artist and CIA assistant Jerome Calloway, went through real movie scripts to find the perfect film that their Studio Six would "make." As Mendez told and audience in LA in 2006, their fake studio ran so much like a real studio in Hollywood, with trade ads and the works, they began getting sent real scripts from real screenwriters.

"By the time we closed Studio Six Productions," he said at the event, "we had 26 scripts, one of them from [Steven] Spielberg."

Calloway eventually chose a script that Mendez said was "a little too evocative of 'The Exorcist' for his taste, but which combined mystical elements with nonspecific Middle Eastern locations."

In seeking to name the film, they ended up choosing the punchline from one of their favorite knock knock jokes, ending up on "Argo." Which means that thanks to the Affleck movie about the plot that involved a fake movie called "Argo," now "Argo" is actually the name of a real film, all these years later.

This "Argo," directed and starring Ben Affleck as Mendez, features some other big Hollywood stars, including Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, John Goodman and Kyle Chandler. It hits theaters in September. For more on the film, check out the official synopsis sent out when production began in September.

Our new favorite style icon Florence Welch charmed our fashion-oriented hearts even more today by singing at Harrods, one of the most famous shops in Britain.

The flame-haired singer was on hand in London to kick off Harrods' 2011 Winter Sale, and she looked ready to cozy up to winter herself in a long, fuzzy gray cape over a dress and black shoes. Leave it to Florence to pull off a designer Snuggie.

Welch arrived at the store in a green Harrods double decker bus, later performing songs from her new album "Ceremonials" for excited shoppers as men outfitted in Harrods' green uniforms opened doors to the iconic shop's annual post-holiday sale at 9 a.m.. Maybe Welch also scored herself a Gucci dress or too?

WASHINGTON -- Kris Humphries was booed even before the start of the game between his New Jersey Nets and the Washington Wizards, presumably because of his much-hyped – and short-lived marriage to reality TV star Kim Kardashian.

Once the basketball was in the air Monday night, Humphries really gave the Wizards and their fans reason to be angry, finishing with 21 points and 16 rebounds to help New Jersey erase a 21-point deficit and come all the way back to beat Washington 90-84 in the season opener for both teams.

In a duel of two top point guards, New Jersey's Deron Williams had 23 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, getting the better of Washington's John Wall, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft.

Wall had 13 points, eight rebounds and six assists, but he only shot 3 for 13. He had the ball in his hands with Washington down only by three in the final minute, but turned it over.

Backup shooting guard Nick Young led Washington with 16 points in just 18 minutes. He missed a large part of the second half after jamming his left foot, but returned.

Andray Blatche opened a pregame speech to the Wizards' home crowd by saying, "This is your captain, Andray Blatche." He wound up with 11 points on 5-of-13 shooting and was called for a technical foul, to boot.

Apparently, Wizards fans are keeping up with the Kardashians. They greeted Humphries with loud jeers during the introductions of the starting lineups, then got on his case whenever he touched the ball. The booing reached a crescendo when Humphries was about to attempt a free throw in the first quarter, then turned to cheers when his shot clanged off the front of the rim. Fans also applauded and shouted approval when Humphries was whistled for fouls.

Humphries and Kardashian split up 72 days after their wedding. He re-signed with the Nets last week and was in the team's starting five Monday, when coach Avery Johnson decided to drop Shelden Williams.

The Wizards (who went 23-59) and Nets (24-58) were two of the six worst teams in the NBA last season, and neither made any truly significant additions. Both went 0-2 during the abbreviated, post-lockout exhibition schedule.

So perhaps it was little surprise that both went through some rather rough stretches Monday, unable to execute properly at either end of the floor.

First it was New Jersey that struggled, falling behind 26-13 in the first quarter and 38-17 in the second, after Young poured in 12 points in a span of about six minutes on 4-for-5 shooting. The Nets shot only 35 percent in the first half, including 14 percent on 3-point attempts, 2 for 14.

But New Jersey managed to start chipping away, thanks in large part to a 16-2 run, and by halftime, Washington's lead was down to 45-37.

In the second half, though, it was Washington's turn to struggle.

When Humphries hit an 18-foot jumper four minutes into the second half, the game was tied at 53. About halfway through the third quarter, Deron Williams' 3-pointer made it 58-57, the Nets' first lead of the evening.

A couple of dunks by Humphries helped New Jersey push their edge to 66-63, before Washington woke up. When Roger Mason made a 23-foot jumper about 1 1/2 minutes into the fourth quarter, it capped an 11-0 spurt for the Wizards, giving the hosts a 74-66 lead.

But the Nets scored the next nine points, capped by Damion James' layup with about 5 1/2 minutes remaining, and were on their way.

Notes: According to the Nets, their collection of guys named Williams make New Jersey the first team in NBA history to have four players with the same last name on a regular-season roster together: Deron, Jordan, Shawne and Shelden. ... Jordan Williams and Brook Lopez were inactive for the Nets; first-round draft pick Jan Vesely and Hamady Ndiaye were inactive for the Wizards. ... The Nets start the season with a stretch of four games in five days – and six games in eight days. "As a coach, we can't have that as an excuse," Johnson said. ... Johnson was asked about Tuesday night's game against the visiting Atlanta Hawks being his team's last home openener before the move to Brooklyn. "We're going to have a lot of situations like that this year. That game is going to be `the last home opener' – and the next home game is going to be `the last second home game.' It's going to go on and on," Johnson said. "It's all going to be a countdown." ... Washington's second game is at Atlanta on Wednesday.

Angela Simmons Takes New HIGH FASHION Pics . . . And She Looks GORGEOUS!!!

In part one of our interview with The Borgias' David Oakes we talked about what audiences could expect for Juan in the show's upcoming second season. In part two of our interview we discuss with Oakes the other Borgia show, what it's like working with Jeremy Irons, cast pranks and Juan Borgia, the musical.

So how much did you know about the real Juan Borgia before you took the role?
Not much and the funny thing is there's not much really known about him. He died very young and under mysterious circumstances. I did as much research as I could but I think the great thing about having a character that is a historic character but doesn't have too much mentioned about it is that you can make greater artistic choices. I think that if you're Cesare or Lucrezia or Pope Alexander than you have a certain restriction to the deity historical precedent. I, for example, have had a lot more free roam and I think that's what makes his character so much fun, especially this season. I mean there are a lot of events that we've taken from other historical characters but added onto Juan. I mean my character arc this season, I personally think for an actor it's out of the water. So I can't wait to see it all. There's so much that I want to say but I'm not allowed to say yet.

You've mentioned that Juan clearly, historically he doesn't make it super long. Do you know how long you're going to be on the show? Do they have that arced out?
I do know how long I'll be on the show. And that's all I'm allowed to say.

Fair enough. Have you seen the other version of The Borgias, Tom Fontana's version?
I have. Actually Stanley [Weber] who plays Juan and Mark [Ryder] who plays Cesare are friends of mine so I take great interest in seeing what happens with theirs.

That's great.
It's very different.

It is very different.
It was funny like we were making them simultaneously the first season and there was obviously a lot of trepidation about the comparisons that would be drawn, but I think if anything they kind of complement each other. They're like brother and sister pieces. And for audiences that don't like one aspect of one, you can find it in the other. But I do know there's a very rich tapestry. Well it depends on what people want. I think it's a lot more sexualized theirs from very early on. I think there's room for two Borgias in the world. I don't know if they've been green lit yet for a second season, I think they're still waiting but I think they want to go again.

Yea I'm not sure if they have either. I'm sure they will be though I heard that it did pretty well.
Yea it did very well in Germany and Netflix liked it, I know that much in the States.

Yea that's how I saw it on Netflix instant streaming.
But it's very different; I mean there's no comparison I don't think.

What is it like to work with such a great cast, Jeremy Irons particularly?

It's amazing! I mean one of the great privileges of my career so far is by doing all these big period epics it draws big characters to it. So you end up with, in this alone, people like Steven Berkoff and Jeremy obliviously. But loads of British theater actors as well like Julian Bleach and Gina McKee and Derek Jacobi in the first season.

Jeremy is a delight to work with. I mean the nature of how my character progresses this season meant that towards the end of the season I spend a lot of time doing two-handed scenes with him, bouncing off him with big dramatic content. I can't honestly think of another actor that I think can handle those big arcs of emotion quite so well as he does. I think he's much more interesting to watch when he's furious or impassioned with romance than he is just sort of sitting on a throne. I love watching him explode and he certainly does that this season.

Are there any pranksters on your set?
[laughs] I have fun. There's a great director John Maybury who was on last season as well and he and I have a lot of fun together. Yea, there's one particular prank that got Jeremy a corker but I can't tell you that without revealing a massive plot point. Yea but me and John played lots of stuff. I think the blooper reel should be a lot better this year. It's funny, last year's blooper reel just seemed like it was every single cast member swearing as much as they possibly could. I think we all toned down our language on set this season just so we didn't seem like such vulgar, vulgar people. But hopefully the blooper reel should be pretty good this year.

You've done a lot of theater, what's the favorite part that you've played and what's the one part you'd really like to that you haven't yet?
The funny thing is on stage I've ended up playing a lot of sort of comedian, comic cowardly-type roles. My careers on stage and screen couldn't differ more highly from each other. I've already played Hamlet a few years back which was astounding, obviously that's the part that all men want to play and want to play again. I mean it's one of those parts where you can find so many different nuances and shapes, so that was fantastic. I think in the future on stage, at some point I really want to do a one-man show. I've seen a lot of one man shows lately and I have so much respect for an actor who can stand on the stage from anywhere between one and three hours and encapsulate a story so perfectly that it never loses the audience's attention. But in terms of perfect roles I don't really have any; I just want to keep doing massively different projects. I want to keep doing a variety that this industry offers up, especially to young actors at the moment. Yea, maybe Juan Borgia the stage show.

The musical.
[laughs] The musical, yea.

Speaking of music I see on Twitter that you're a big music fan so I wanted to ask you what's your favorite genre and then what's your favorite artist?
I have too many to mention. I'm a big folk-y. I like a lot of English folk music, which ranges so massively in terms of the different strands. I can tell you a band I'm listening to a lot at the moment, they're called The Leisure Society and they're really great. They're sort of more folk alternative with a sort of edge of pop I guess. But they did an amazing concert recently at the Barbican in London and they're really worth keeping an eye on. They're great, they're really good.

So just to sum up: if you were trying to pitch somebody on watching next season of The Borgias, what would you tell them?
[laughs] It would depend who I was talking to. I would tell them that if they didn't like the first season than the second season's better. [laughs] And if they didn't watch the first season then watch the first season and there's no way they won't want to watch the second. It's everything that makes television great. It's blood, it's guts, it's gore, it's intrigue, it's characters. This year is really just -- the scripts alone are momentous, they're film-like pieces. I mean I've actually been in a horse race, which is ridiculous for someone my size. Yea it's so worth watching. And it's dark and it's twisted and there's incest if you believe that they're actually going to get it on. And who knows, they might! I don't know!

The Borgias is now available on blu-ray and DVD. Watch out for the second season on Showtime in the spring.

Debra Messing may be hooking up with her "Smash" co-star Will Chase, but she's hardly the only TV star to find love on set. Back in 2003, sparks flew for co-stars Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody on the set of "The OC," and who could ever forget Joanie (Erin Moran) and Chachi's (Scott Baio) real-life romance that was worthy of a spin-off?

Plus, only in the world of TV is it ever acceptable to fall in love with your small-screen brother. Just ask Katherine Heigl, who dated her "Roswell" on-screen sibling Jason Behr in 2000. Meanwhile, Lauren Graham and her current boyfriend Peter Krause, who plays her TV brother Adam Braverman on "Parenthood," have been spotted vacationing in Venice together.

Take a look at some of these other TV stars who have found love on set.
