•  Lindsay Lohan was offered a part in The Hangover (the role that ultimately went to Heather Graham) but turned it down because she didn't think the movie had any potential. Either that, or she was too busy in the chemistry lab.

•  Daniel Radcliffe says he's now willing to date women his own age. Fine! His loss.

•  Has Britney Spears gone tribal?

•  Kelly Osbourne says she didn't call the kettle black Lady Gaga a "butterface."

•  Jane Fonda canoodles?

•  Justin Timberlake wants to write a book about golf. Fore real!

•  In case you hadn't already figured it out, people don't go on reality shows to make friends (and that includes Paris Hilton's My New BFF).

Daniel Radcliffe may look a bit battered and bruised on the cover of Esquire UK's August issue, but the Harry Potter star isn't pulling any punches, either.

The 19-year-old actor, who's certainly no stranger to exposing himself (hello, Equus!), reveals a few personal tidbits inside the mag's pages, including his religious beliefs.

"I'm an atheist, but I'm very relaxed about it," he says, before joking: "There we go, Dan, that's half of America that's not going to see the next Harry Potter film on the back of that comment."

• Lindsay Lohan's and Paris Hilton's exploits have taken a back seat—and a back page—to the roller coaster ride that is Jon and Kate Gosselin when it comes to gracing the covers of weekly magazines. And they're not happy about it. If this report is to be believed, both starlets' recent breakups have been amplified efforts to return to their glory days of tabloid cover queens. No word yet on what they think of current Us Weekly cover girl Stephanie Pratt.

• Madonna is having BFF Gwyneth Paltrow Goopify Mercy's new bedroom.

• When Ricky Martin says, "This heart could belong to a man or a woman," we can't help but look forward to a snakey Rolling Stone cover.

• Did Sean Connery really wait in the rain for a bus?

• Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, claims he has no game. We're sure Cho Chang and Ginny Weasley would beg to differ.

• Natalie Portman takes a break from her busy MakingOf promotions to sit down with Zach Galifianakis for a fake interview that's really only funny because it makes us think of Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman. Now that was funny.

• Someone might need to explain to us why it isn't Chris Pine, but Bradley Cooper is totally the stud of the moment. First Cameron Diaz, Rhona Mitra and Mary-Kate Olsen, and now Jennifer Aniston! Impressive.

• Sorry, Bruce Willis, but even with an awe-inspiring hat, we're naming Kellan Lutz our accessory king.

• Oprah Winfrey causes a chicken crisis.

• Eyeliner-wearing Daniel Radcliffe has a brand-new bestie.

A terrifying moment occurred on the Harry Potter soundstages Wednesday, as Daniel Radcliffe's stuntman was hospitalized with serious back injuries following an on-set mishap.

Because the accident took place during preproduction for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Radcliffe and the film's marquee stars were not on set at the time.

The injury occurred when the 25-year-old man, who has doubled for Radcliffe on all Potter films and whose name has not been released "out of respect for his family," was running through stunts at England's Leavesden Studios.

During an aerial sequence in which the stuntman was suspended by a harness, a planned blast somehow went wrong and he crashed to the ground.

According to London's Mirror and the Sun, the man was conscious after the fall, but both reports quoted crew members who said the stuntman was unable to feel his legs after the plunge.

The Twilighters are hissing and the Potterphiles are brandishing their wands credit cards.

J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter-inspired The Tales of Beedle the Bard, lands on bookstore shelves today, sending salivating fans queuing up for a copy of the five stories that guided Harry, Ron and Hermione through Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Borders and Barnes & Noble haven't seen lines like this since the August release of Breaking Dawn, the record-breaking fourth installment in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series.

The vampire romance has stolen some of Potter's magical thunder—as well as the hearts of fan(g)girls—at the bookstore, and at the box office; Twilight cashed in after taking over the release date vacated by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

We just want to know who would win in a head to scarred-head clash: Harry vs. Edward, Daniel Radcliffe vs. Robert Pattinson or J.K. vs. Stephenie?

The results are in and it's official. Katie Holmes is the queen of Broadway.

In its first full week of performances, the Holmes-powered revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons was the hottest dramatic ticket on the Great White Way, grossing $684,002 for the week ended Sunday, according to Playbill.com.

Costarring John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest and Patrick Wilson, All My Sons is still in previews until Oct. 16. But due in part to the buzz (and controversy) surrounding Holmes' debut, the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre was nearly full last week; 97.6 percent of its 1,052 seats were sold at an average ticket price of $83.31.

The next closest drama was another Hollywood star vehicle: the Daniel Radcliffe-led revival of Equus. Harry Potter's clothes-eschewing alter ego brought in $597,346 at the Broadhurst last week. The theater, which has 1,206 seats, had 65.3 percent of its tickets sold at an average of $94.76 apiece.

Still, the dramas aren't in the same league as the megamusicals. Wicked tallied nearly $1.4 million in ticket sales last week, while Jersey Boys raked in about $1.1 million.

On the bright side, it hasn't seemed to affect his Quidditch game.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has revealed he suffers from a mild form of dyspraxia, a neurological disorder that often impairs coordination, and which is sometimes mistaken for sheer clumsiness.

"Yes, Dan Radcliffe does have dyspraxia," his rep told Britain's Daily Mail. "This is something he has never hidden. Thankfully his condition is very mild and at worst manifests itself in an inability to tie his shoelaces and bad handwriting."

The 19-year-old revealed his diagnosis to the newspaper while hyping his upcoming Broadway debut in Equus.

Sirius Black crushes young Harry Potter's innocence forever!

See, Gary Oldman played sketchy wizard Black in several Potter flicks, and he still keeps in touch with series star Daniel Radcliffe. During this week's press junket for The Dark Knight, Oldman dished on a recent chat with Radcliffe that, like, totally destroyed the young actor's childlike naïveté.
